Despite the official weight limit being 50lbs, these spirit self service kiosks will flag anything over 40lbs as overweight and require a $78 additional charge to proceed. The only way to avoid this is to have your bag checked by a live employee who will follow the real 50lb limit.

After years of trying, G2A finally stole my money by force

So a few years ago g2a made it impossible to use or withdraw currency you had in your g2a PAY wallet (at least in sweden).

Since then every six months they have sent out an email stating that if i don't log in within three days they will start charging 1€ a day until my funds are depleted. Because of this i boycotted any further use off their site and made it my personal quest to always log in before they could charge my money, a way of giving them a silent middle finger.

This time when i tried to log in to my account i got a message that i was banned. They have tried banning me before but then i would just prove trough two factor authentication that it was me who tried to log on to my account, this time however they added that this decision cannot be changed and that my account wont be reinstated.

I considered the money gone long ago but as a last fu to them i'll at least dox them by sharing my experience with their services.

Resource Three UK hide their UK based support agents via their website

Post image
0 Upvotes

I worked for Three, I thought I’d share one thing that UK customers should pass to all friends and family members who deal with Three as a mobile provider if they need help. The social media staff usually divert all customers to the Contact Us page or Complaints page under social media posts because they don’t want to deal with the issues themselves and so the customer gets pushed constantly towards their awful contact agents in India. However, hidden on the Three website (intentionally) is a direct link to the social chat ran entirely by UK based agents and one that they rarely ever share to save them from doing the work.

Please use this whenever you need help as I’m sure they’d very much appreciate it: https://bit.ly/3Osrmy9

This cannolo has pistachio filling only at visible ends, giving the impression that it's completely filled. In reality, the middle part is empty. Bought in Lidl, UK.
