As always, The Consumerist needs you to fill our box with your long, hard tips. Or complaints, for that matter.

Every week, a considerable number of our posts are sparked, inspired or merely cut-and-paste from our inbox. So if you have anything to tell us, tips@consumerist.com will get you there. Include your name and blog and we’ll link you to boot.

These are the posts last week that came from reader emails:
