Shit Company List

Here is a list of the companies including their products and/or services (where relevant) that I would not touch with a barge pole given a choice. You have been warned!


Corresponding posts aginst the companies (listed in alphabetical order):

Air France
I've long given up on this company and unless I am forced to use them again at some point probably will not bother writing anything up. But I will say that even my credit card company felt so sorry for my experiences with them that they refunded flights that I had taken! The primary reason I avoid them is they seem to cancel flights at the drop of a hat. I had long been suspicious that if flights were not full enough and there was a later one they would cancel the first and put everyone on the second one. I've challenged them about this and they deny it.

Amazon Credit Card

CDR By Mail
I will blog something soon.

KLM
I started to avoid them before they got taken over by Air France who I also avoid. Far too many missed connections! Plus they give your connecting seat away very quick so that even if you make it to the gate in time, your seat is gone. I've avoided them long before this blog so I doubt I will write anything unless forced to use them again at some point.

O2

SAS Airlines (Scandinavian)

Vodafone
I've had worse experiences with Vodafone than O2! When my O2 contract comes around for renewal I am tempted to try another operator such as T-Mobile. The experiences were many, lengthy and dire! But since they occured long before this blog I will leave them out.

Mark,
I love the idea of this blog. But surely there should be a more inclusive approach - there are a tonne of shit companies that need a wake up call.
 
Anon- can you please expand what you mean? Regards
 
Hey Mark,
Can you add Tiger Airways to your list. A budget Airline notorious for delays and bad service. So shit infact they have the honor of being the first company posted on my blog www.shitcompany.com

Cheers
