Review about: Parts in Motion
Clutch kit
Avoid. Order a clutch kit, they send the wrong one (on there website and Ebay said is the correct one), fitted to car, not good, almost destroyed my gear box, sent it back, didn't want to refund me as it was signs of use. Very rude customer service, didn't want to compensate me as is clearly there fault. In the end spend £700 more then i should. Took my money from Visa claim. Now I take them to court for labour costs compensation as this is unexplainable.
Review about: Affordable Mobiles
New iphone
Complete waste of time.
Invested time making the application and providing identification documentation requested subsequent to my application.
The due date for delivery of my phone (which already had a significant two week lead in time) came and went. No phone arrived.
I tried to call the customer services number, but it became apparent it was only available for sales.
All customer service communication at through live chat which I got cut off from twice.
I eventually got through and was frustratingly asked to resend my ID documentation (two weeks after first provided!).
I then received an email to say my order had been cancelled. Apparently I had not passed the “security checks”. I feel like this is an excuse as I am a solicitor with a full-time job and a homeowner.
A complete waste of my time and energy. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere!Review about: IndeJuice
Elf bar and lost mary vapes
I've bought a lot of vapes from indejuice already in the last month, they're very quick on delivery (with tracking), got great "combo deals", plus if you register you can send unlimited 5£ disccount vouchers (you also get vouchers in reward when your friend use them), and they give you 1£ disccount with every review from the flavours on the site, i reccomend 200%, so far so good here, for me it works amazingly great (at least in london, i dont know.how it works in other areas of uk, but i wonder if they could deliver to canary islands)
Review about: MotorEasy
Car warranty
Motoreasy car warranty is scam. They cover suspension but apparently not air suspension. They cover prop couplings but apparently I must have a breakdown caused by it before they repair it. Cracking prop couplings are not covered.
Basically, your car has to physically break, suddenly, out of nowhere, with no sign of previous deterioration.
Out of 3 claims within one year, not one has been accepted, after weeks of waiting and after all their agents were telling me "yes of course this is covered by your plan".
Absolute scam. Don't trust them. Only use them if your vehicle has "suddent" breakdown, good luck in proving that it was not caused by wear and tear.

Review about: Mindful Trader
Mindful indeed
Using Mindful Trader is kind of expensive but once you subscribe to their services, the returns you from trading will be more than what you have paid for. The biggest your starting capital, the higher your return on investment. After the monthly flat rate charges, you don't need to stress yourself again. You can be a salary earner or a business owner and still trade stocks on this platform. It doesn't affect your business or work in any way as It takes like five days for the investment to come through for you. Mindful Trader is ok for even an average person.
Review about: Go Bubble Ball
Impressive type of sport
I know about football but I didn't know we also have bubble football. The first time I saw such thingy I was curious and wanted to try it out. It was a wonderful time out with family and friends. Go Bubble Ball offers bubble football for lovers of sports especially football. Every weekend, they would organise a weekend event for people to come and relieve themselves of the week's stress, have fun and have a nice time together. They also get to experience bubble football in its entirety. Their vouchers are affordable, simple and promising to anyone who buys them. I get their vouchers everytime and everytime I get different experiences that I love. A nice way to get out of depression too. If you don't need their services, you could always get your money back.
Review about: Shoes121
Shoes
Although a family friend introduced the Sjoes121 to me, I have bought shoes and accessories for myself and my family and we all happened to like the shoes. It simply means the shoes are good and of quality. Since this could be confirmed by the first buy, that impression has kept us still buying from Shoes121 till date and we haven't had any reasons whatsoever to regret about any of the shoes we have bought from the company. Based on personal experience, I would recommend Shoes121 on the positive light knowing the products are good and will certainly satisfy any other customer as in my case. So feel free to enjoy quality shoes from Shoes121.
Review about: The Irish Store
Amazing
The Irish Store is one of my favourite go to company for all my leather bags and reason is that their products are made based on the core values of beauty, functionality, honesty, affordability and sustainability.
Another premium fact about The Irish Store is that they offer their customers different types and brands of leather bags. Their leather bags come in different colours and designs. Each product comes with a 30-Day refund or exchange policy.
Their products include clothing, jewellery, crossbody bags, small & mini bags, clutches, shoulder bags, totes & top handle bags, scarves & wraps, capes & blankets, silks, wallets & purses, notebooks, phone pouch, rose street jewellery box, S charm, heart key charm, heart bag charm, leather charm, webbing straps, etc. They also provide gifts for both male and female, e-gift cards and personalized gifts.Review about: Rocket Piano
Piano play
My interest for piano started right from when I was a kid, following my parents to church and functions. I could remember how I used to leave them and went close to where piano was played to see with eyes. That interest grew up with me. I wish I had opportunity to learn it growing up, but for some reasons that wasn't possible. As such, I had to learn it having come of age. It was actually through the training acquired from Rocket Piano that enable me become good at playing piano. The thing is I so like the teaching modules of the company, making it easy for students including myself to learn. I would recommend Rocket Piano to anyone who want to learn piano with ease.
Review about: Volcom
Nice shopping experience with Volcom
Not too long ago, I decided to make changes to my family's wardrobe, we were all fed up of our cloths as they were beginning to fade and fall out of trend. Then I and my wife discussed about where we can get the best dresses both for us and the kids. We searched online, found a lot of online stores until we finally stumble on Volcom. We made our choices; we bought hoodies, tanks, shirts, jumpers, and cardigans for the children. We also bought for ourselves too. Their outdoor wears were superb that we couldn't but place orders. Thanks to Volcom. My family and i can now rock the best clothing.
Review about: Get Transfer
Courier services
I needed the services of courier company that is fast, safe and trackable that could deliver a document to me in Portugal from Brazil in a matter of days as urgent as it was. I needed to go for the company that offered faster courier services and that was none other than GetTransfer based on my findings. So I opted for their services to deliver the documents to me. So I picked two days delivery which was the fastest at the time. Although I expected it a longer time as anything could happen, luckily for me, the document was delivered to me in Portugal with no hitches within the 48 hours period. I must say GetTransfer is reliable for travel, courier services and other transport services based on my encounter with them.

Review about: Willow And Hall
Sofa bed
Do NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THIS COMPANY.
I ordered a sofa six months ago, and at the time spent a long time on the phone with a sales rep checking measurements to make sure it would fit upstairs. The sofa was due for delivery in February this year (ordered November 2020). The deadline came and went with no communication from the company, and after chasing several times I was told it was delayed due to Covid, which I accepted. I was promised delivery in March, which again came and went with no communication. Having chased again and again, I was told April. It arrived and did not fit despite their assurances, and had to be sent back. I then had to chase to arrange a refund, which I was offered with no issues because it is so obviously a huge mess up on their side. However, I was told it would take max 14 days to get my money (nearly £2,000) back, and promised they would expedite this because of the problems I have had. 15 days later I had to chase again for my refund, and while they have now confirmed it has been issued, they only just advised it might take another 10 days to appear in my account. Its utterly unacceptable to take that much money from someone for 6 months with no goods ever received, and then to not action it as a matter of extreme urgency. I have been told there is just "nothing they can do". The only excuse they will give you by the way, is that "we are a small team." So, don't order from this company unless you want to spend several hours on the phone chasing them, don't mind waiting 10 days in between hearing from customer services, be £2000 poorer, and still have no product.Review about: TransferWise
Transfers that are almost fee free!
I used it a billion times already, there are almost no fees and the transfers are quick and easy! Never had a problem with it so I don't know if support is good, but I heard good things about them.
stay away from this platform. it takes years to send money and refunding can also be a hassle
No it doesn't. I sent 700 euro from UK £ account to a German account. It took 9 seconds. cost less than £3. Brilliant.
Transferwise scam deactivate account and don't give back
They will deactivat your account for due diligence and never talk about refunds

Review about: Gardening Express
Three plants
It is said that the definition of a fool is someone who does not learn by his or her mistakes. It also says that a fool and his money are easily parted. I therefore have to put my hand up to being a fool. There have been a number times when I have done things and bought things without looking at the reviews, 3 different hotel stays instantly spring to mind, each one would have made Fawlty Towers look like the Ritz. Unfortunately, fool that I am, I did not look at the reviews for Garden Express before spending £124.93 on three very poor quality plants, oh dear!
I have three large empty ceramic pots and wanted to quickly (sic) fill them with some established, fairly mature plants before the end of the summer. Garden Express was offering £10 off orders. I spent some time doing a bit of research on their website (not looking at reviews) and was seduced by their description of the hard work of Chris Bonnett, the ‘company’, their ethos and mission statement with phrases like:
‘… the business has become a force to be reckoned with in mail order Gardening’
‘…we now ship thousands of plants every week’
‘Everything we sell is guaranteed - we don't send out anything we would not be delighted to receive ourselves’
‘…we tell you exactly how large or small they are. We were fed up of ordering expensive plants and being sent spindly twigs’
Mitigation for making the decisions I did? I don’t think so; I am old enough (but not wiser) to know better! The irony of these statements, for me personally, is brought into sharp focus when I consider the atrocious quality of the plants I received.
Here is part of the email I sent to Garden Express within hours of receiving my plants:
This is my first foray into ordering plants online and I am disappointed with the quality of the plants that I have been sent; there is little resemblance to the description on your website. I understand there have been issues due to Covid 19 and maybe to some extent the recent hot weather, but I feel that I have been sent the 'runts' of the 'carefully selected plants'. They are not of the standard I would select myself:
Hibiscus - Described as: Extra Large Tricolour 5 - 5.5 feet as you can see from the photos it is barely 4 feet 4 inches; I could have bought one this size for £29.99 from a different website! The plant does look healthy but some of the bark on the stem has been scraped off (photo) not sure if this will affect the plant.
Corkscrew Hazel - Described as: Fresh green foliage through out the year. The photos show that it is not very healthy, all the leaves are curled and yellowing some with brown edges. The pot was crumpled as it was forced in to the same box as the Korean lilac.
Dwarf Korean Lilac - Described as: with a bushy head on a stem.... covered with buds and blooms in season, second part of the season being August - September. As you can see from the photos it is straggly with not a bud in sight.
I paid a lot of money for these 3 plants; more money than I have ever paid for three plants, which makes my disappointment even greater. Based on your descriptions I expected great plants that I would be able to put straight into 3 large pots. None of the plants came with any planting or care information.
I uploaded 10 photos to support my claims.
I received an email from Garden Express that essentially said
‘This ticket is now awaiting review from our Horticultural Manager’
Five working days later I emailed Garden Express to find out where I was with a resolution. No reply, in fact I have not heard anything since. I have emailed on numerous occasions, they have now blocked my email address. Nobody answers the one phone number I can find.
It was then I read the reviews, oh dear! 48% giving 1 star and such scathing (deservedly) comments you would not believe. I am not sure how this company is still trading. The comments I have read are real expressions of the misery this company is causing to so many people.
I don’t hold out much hope for a resolution to my plight; or at least not anytime soon.
I have just seen this on the side panel of Trust Pilot feedback page:
Gardening Express is 194 out of 194 ranked companies in the category Garden centre on Trustpilot.
All of this makes an absolute mockery of the flowery (pun intended) descriptions on the their website.
Please don’t be a fool like me and buy from this company. I would urge anybody who have had poor experiences with garden Express to complete a Money Saving Expert (MSE) Resolver form and if ever the BBC bring back Watchdog then contact them with your story as I will do.I agree, very similar experience, this company is rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rub rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish

Review about: Shaw Academy
Sports Nutrtion Free trial
Very informative and had a great first class however the classes seem to be pre-recorded and is more like watching a video rather than interacting with a teacher. Still enjoying it though
Nice,for beginning study of present and future photography I like this such of classes this video can also interacting with teacher this is very enjoying thanks for Shaw Academy
Thanks so much Shaw academy for the 1month free trial. It's such a great opportunity, I look forward to more though
Awesome and can be class to as second to none
Great great great. So happy to start this course
It's a worthwhile experience being one of your students. Please, make the classes more comprehensive.
Course is very interesting but it’s a little frustrating that the dialogue Switches from course to what’s coming next which should really be at the end. Also I am getting about 5 emails a day from Shaw academy trying to up sell their add ons and telling me the course has stated 10 minutes before it has!
I really enjoyed my first class very well explained and informative :) thanks Show Academy
Not what I expected. If I am going to do an online school, I expect to take at my pace. The classes are pre-recorded. They're not live, so, I should be able to do the entire set of lessons in one week if that's my choice. The "bot" is just that, an AI bot that can only answer a canned set of questions, or the other people online in the class at the time can respond. Since I am a Senior Project Manager, PMP certified, reviewing the class for personal reasons, I expected a bit more. Good information, knowledgeable teacher. Format is not what I expected.
Very interesting and informative
I enjoyed the teaching. Well explained.enjoyed the first class very informative. Need to know if I need to purchase Adobe software to finish course and if so are you offering a discount.
Actually I loved the class. Its interesting too. But the only thing that i felt difficult is that the class is little bit fast... Other than that Shaw academy is very good. Video classes can also be useful.
This is my first time to attend an English lesson. So far, i had a great experience. Looking forward to achieve my goal soon. Thank you.
It will be good if you guyzzz slow up the class a bit...
Hello There. still having a problem buying the tool kit. Not sure if it's because I am in Italy. It keeps refusing to take my order and says error occurred. Otherwise, I have enjoyed the first module which just ended a few minutes ago:)
Very informative and well explained session 1 it was, looking forward to learn more.. Thank you so much.
I enjoyed the class and I prefer the board and slides to human face speaking.the content are enlightening, I will work at attending the next class. My only reservation about the whole program for now is the toolkit advertisement hounding. I think the advertisement should be persuasive not coercive
I enjoyed the lesson though I was not fully taken part in the full lesson,, at my leisure I can go back and watch it again... Very fascinating
I'm just being the Project Management course and so far is been very informative and easy to follow.
Pretty good for beginners to know difference between Manager and Leader. Enlightens me what it takes to be a good manager.
This is best way to gain knowlegde & thanks to shaw academy. Every teacher interactive with students.
Great second class.. I am enjoying it and got my tool kit too!!!!
This academy is really nice in quarantine I’m doing graphic design diploma which really nice they all thought me many new things
I'm just starting the Graphic Design course. It's delivered in an easy to understand and easy to follow format that's engaging and informative.
Very enjoyable!It's good
I have watched 4 lessons in module 1 and Having watched 4 lessons in module 1, i can tell that the classes have been extremely informative and well spelt out.....and it's free. Thank you Shaw academy
Great first class very enlightening I'm really looking forward to the rest of the course.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to study graphics design for free. Studying the course made me fall more deeply in love with the course, I love the resources employed by shaw academy such as the AI for asking questions,an interactive class session also the educator spoke so understandably.
For me, it's been so far, so great! I have had great times in the last three classes I attended. I've just got to take a further and personal responsibility to work on myself the more. No teacher gives you all. Kudos to Shaw Academy!
Excellent and informative class
Awesome so far! Love the flexibility on times, and that the site times are tailored to your timezone! Well presented and informative lessons, thank you!
Very informative with videos that helps in explaining the lessons well. I enjoyed it.
Session was informative.
It was a great introduction to web design. The educator was very pleasant and spoke well. I learned a few basics about web design and very interested to learn more. I am looking forward to my next class.
Review about: Toople
Business Phone and Broadband
I have been with Toople for 2.5 years. The internet was OK, nothing more so I decided it was time for a switch. Toople have other ideas and keep blocking my switch. I can see me having to go to Offcom to sort it out. Would I recommend them.....NO.
Hi, did you ever manage to sort this? they were blocking my switch, too!!
Review about: Toople
Business broadband - terrible
Dear Toople!
I hope that this is a way of finally getting an answer from somebody who is professional and in the know.
I have been a business broadband customer since the start of 2019 and while I had no problems, all was fine. Meaning, I paid and I had internet and a phone line. Then, in mid-October we had a lightning strike in our area which fried every router in the area. And here is where my troubles begun. I phoned on the Friday, one day after the lightning strike, to request a new router. I was told that the person dealing with this had already gone home, but she would sort it on Monday and I would have a new router Tuesday/Wednesday.
Days came and went. No router. I rang again, to be told that there was no request whatsoever on my account. So I ordered again. I was told it would arrive within a couple of days. Guess what? No router. Fast forward and 6 weeks on and a few phone calls in to different people, still no router. Please understand this: we use a card machine and hence were not able to TAKE ANY CARD PAYMENTS.
I was told as one reason why the router had not arrived: "we have had problems with the dispatch of our routers".
Well, tragic when what you do is router-based. FINALLY, after 6 weeks a new router arrived. Now, call me petty, but I felt I should have at least a full refund for the 6 weeks of direct debit that I paid out, but received no service. It is good standard to do so, considering that I spent hours on the phone, had financial losses and am now sitting here again, on a Sunday, wasting my time! I was told via email by the billing team that I had been refunded, so checked my account - nothing. Promptly my next bill arrived, this time 'only' stating £11.98 to pay, rather than the usual £25.79. This raised the question: had Toople 'refunded' me a total of £13.81? I asked for clarification via email to the billing team: no response.
In the end I decided to cancel my direct debit to Toople in the hope that this would finally result in some contact. But, nothing. I requested that a manager contact me, again via email to the billing team: nothing.
Toople: a refund of £13.81 for 6 weeks of no internet? Are you serious?????
Where do we go from here, I wonder?
I hope to hear from you with a solution that makes me want to stay your customer.ofcom , !! that where im going, they need shut down .
Still having problems with them now, eventhough I cancelled my contract with them months ago.
Review about: Shaw Academy
toolkit
So far everything seems straight forward and as expected for an online course. I am looking forward to learning all there is to know from the comfort of my home. This will advance my current skills to another level. To be fair, the one thing that made me a little uneasy was the payment process. It wasn't as clear that there is 2 options for the same things, which you could easily make a mistake and double pay. Overall the courses seem to be on point with information. Thank you!
Review about: Shaw Academy
Digital marketing course (free trial)
The course so far seems ok (I've just done one class). Rescheduling system could be simpler and it would be better to be able to see your full calendar somewhere. It is annoying how they always try to ring you - the sales is quite aggressive. I've heard its hard to end the payment after the free trial too so I'm going to make sure I cancel the direct debit myself.
Review about: Beer52
Welcome offer
They're good at taking the money and delivering the beer but it's impossible to cancel. The only way you can cancel is to call them, but the line always states that there is no one in the office despite calling during in their opening hours.
I've emailed them and no response. More or less a scam. My next step will be to call the bank to have the payment blocked (if that is even possible).Review about: Shaw Academy
Digital Marketing Course
For a free course, the information is well laid out... However, technically, it's obviously not live playback but a recording.
Also, there is not enough time to make a response when asked for one. Prob coz they're recorded playback lessons.
Too many emails are sent to my inbox :(It's a fraudulent company. If they have your bank details they will take payments they are not entitled to, regardless of whether you cancel. Contact your bank to cancel your card.
Review about: Shaw Academy
Photoshop & Digital Marketing
I have taken a ton of online courses, both for marketing my the business my husband and I have start
, for college and for high school. I have completed my 2nd course on Module 1 in PhotoShop and the 1st course in Digital Marketing in Module 1. So far I have been very impressed. Although I could do with a **whole lot less** marketing texts and e-mail selling me to sign up for a plan as well as purchase the toolkit and/or the e-certificate. However, I really, really appreciate all the texts and emails reminding me my course will start in 24-hours, 1 hours and is starting now.
I think most of us realize these are not "live" courses, but have been pre-recorded. However ... 1.) the pre-recording is done so well you feel as if it is live and 2.) The way they actually ask you to schedule you course time in advance and then all the reminders really, really help to motivate me to sit down and work the courses, or the review of the previous lesson everyday! Courses without this kind of accountability ... well, I seldom finish them!
As far as the costs and the advertising. As I said I could do without the continual repetitive sales pitches via text and email. Seriously, it does get old. And then you get pop-up everytime you get on to the site selling you the very same thing! Thank God they are easy to x-out of and move on with whatever you need to do.
That being said ... I was trying to go through and listen to the recordings any day I was not taking a class and screen print all the information I needed to keep and dump those into a PowerPoint like program. I decided my time was worth more than this and went ahead and purchased the toolkit. At that point I was shocked to see we will have to purchase both a toolkit and the e-certificate / final challenge for EACH MODULE of the class? REALLY?? I would have been glad to pay for this once per class, For an 8 module course that is 40x2x8 = $640 per course if you are going to take this course seriously and go all the way through it. That is IN ADDITION to the $70 or so they are going to charge you per month. By the way, you have to purchase their 3-month, 6-month or 12-month plans in advance (pay in full). I am suspicious their "you can cancel at anytime" will work like this ... "Sure. we would be glad to cancel that for you ... but you purchased the X number of months plan, so we will have to keep your account active until that period of time is complete. You will have access to the courses until that date, and then we will cancel your plan." In other words, you can cancel ... but you will not receive a refund for the time you are not planning to use.. Again ... this is my suspicion, based on some other pay-in-advance for your per month services. An 8 module course, based on their 2 lessons per week scheduling requirements, with 4 lesson per module will take you approximately 32 months. That means you will really be paying $640 + between $1568 ($49/32 months) and $2208 ($69/month). That's somewhere between $2208 and $2248 for your first course. If you are able to take 2 courses at 2 lessons per week, then it, of course, becomes less expensive per course. Having costs all this out ... I am thinking a course at an online community college might be cheaper.
That being said, I really do like the instruction in the two courses I am taking.
For those looking to obtain the certification to put on their resume or to show to a current or perspective employer in order to get a job or a raise, I worry about is whether the professional certificate will hold water?? I can't find anywhere that says anything in depth about that. I know if I received a certificate directly for Adobe or a college or even a community college it would hold some weight. But what will a certificate from "Shaw Academy" get you?
Again, I love the courses so far, I really love the scheduling and the reminders ... which serve as an accountability factor for me. But ... the ads and the cost of the toolkits and certificate per module makes this INCREDIBLY expensive!!
I am glad I wrote this review ... I may have to think about how far I go with these courses after my free trial period runs out!I am satisfied with the quality, professionalism, information content of digital marketing training on Shaw Academy. Useful, interesting, fully packed with knowledge.
The chatwall "robot" during classes is quite new, so the robot is still learning, can not really give answers for all your questions.Cheri - get ready for some deceptive and unethical practices when you try to cancel. If you are already tired of the constant sales pitch you ain't seen nothing yet. There is a lot of feedback that they are taking money that they are not entitled to after you believe you successfully jumped through their ridiculous hoops to cancel. The cancellation phone call alone requires 6 mins of your time responding to not questions like "press 2 to give up on your hopes and dreams". Good luck, and to everyone else I say avoid.
I know absolutely nothing about trading but the First lesson gave me an education and I was hooked. Detailed and delivered at a pace you will be able to follow.
Not a bad start today. Easy to use and log into. Could be better if I could start later in the programme as i have a working knowledge of excel already
The webinar was very good, simple and to the point which suits my needs perfectly. What I do not appreciate is that you have to pay extra for slides and content. For someone like me, struggling at the moment, and for loads of others in this crisis I think this isn't kind or helpful. There should have been more thought into this.
Shaw Academy are being widely accused of deceptive and fraudulent behaviour with regard to unauthorized taking of payments for cancelled accounts. It is recommended to cancel your bank card if they have your details.
Just enrolled with Shaw Academy and have thoroughly enjoyed my first lesson in Photoshop. The teaching is very clear and easy to follow. Watching the video back really helps consolidate the lesson.
On a website where many big brands only have one or two reviews there are over 1300 for Shaw Academy. It doesn't add up. It stinks of a cover up and a scam.
I attended my first webinar today and it was passively educative. It was delivered with first class expertise.
Thanks Shaw Academy.The Idowu comment above, this is what I mean. Watching a pre-recorded video masquerading as live doesn't realistically inspire people to write this nonsense. From what I've seen and heard, it screams SCAM
I am a senior who works from home and need to squeeze in some new learning regarding our digital world. I started my career on a manual typewriter. Would like to access the lesson more that once and I don't see an option for that! Help!
This is well structured and a great form of learning if you are looking for a solid course. Covered all the basics and then once foundation was set moved onto more advanced concepts. Great little course I did
This is so good. Content, explanation and method is great. It makes me interested.
Its ok so far
Another 100 great reviews for Shaw in just one day. I really don't trust any of it. Some interesting reviews on the last pages (from March and before). They have very different ratings. I repeat, this screams SCAM. Others say cancel your card if they have your details, that sounds sensible.
Yes its very helfpful courses fr me and i am satisfied with lessons , all the teachers are amazing. They helps me and answer my questions so i like this
Just started on the Photoshop course and I am absolutely loving it. Very clear instructions and having the video of the lesson to view in your own time is brilliant. Can't wait for the next lessons. Really make using Photoshop a pleasure. Carry on the great work, I will be recommending Shaw Academy to friends. Thanks.
It was a great first class. The content was just the right amount in balance to take in a single class.
The first lesson was a great intro to the next sessions. It was positioned well with terminology and basics to go deeper. I look forward to the upcoming sessions.
I am satisfied with the quality
I'm perplexed by your service. Quite user friendly, convenient and no excuse for one not to upgrade his/her self.
A great platform for self development and it's so much interactive. This is unique and it's one the very best I've seen and experiencedSuper good service! but too much spam on my mail from shawacademy
fully recommended!Nice work on the Project Management Lessons. I get to learn a great deal
I don't understand all the extra cost shouldn't the tool kits come with the class and if they are webinar recording can we take courses at our own pace around our schedule. Then when we finish RECEIVE ECertificate. Due to only 2 classes a week makes this very expensive for me low income. I can handle full time classes. 5 classes a day!!!
I sincerely appreciate my instructor, he was clear and taking the course step by step. it's actually my first time of going through a training with Shaw academy. It was interesting and I love the fact that the time is flexible and trainings recorded for revision purposes.
Great Job!At first when I saw the online program at Shaw Academy I was reluctant due some experience I had over the years with online study of which I never thought I could go through an online program any longer. But this is different I felt at home as if I was with the audience. I can assure you that I was smiling all through and didn't even know when my time ends. The topics on Management and Leadership are clearly delt with without holding back, nice tutorial and sound knowledge. I am excited and promised to introduce many friends to the platform. The follow up on students, sending reminder, mails, infact this institution pampered her students so much. I felt a huge sense of belonging. It's a wonderful experience I must confess. Please keep the good work. My recommendation is to review the modules payment app to MasterCard and visa.
Shaw Academy are desperate to cover up the bad reviews, by keeping adding false ones. Now over 1500 on this obscure review site. Go to the earliest pages to see the real picture. BritainReviews is complicit in this fraud, a check on the IP addresses behind each post would uncover the extent. A similar problem exists on more reputable TrustPilot, but there are higher hopes that they will investigate
As a new, also elder, not savvy in technology.... [ brain is too rusty?!, ], it's very challenging. Just give you a ideas so I mention name; Udemy formats is/was friendly on schedules, no hidden purchases pop up, I have freedom+, to control etc., ....whatever it is I choose w/ no fears....etc. [ I see very good for younger ones who have lots of futures to keep up, & savvy on media....., highly recommendable..].
Gosh! I enjoyed my class project management. Being in the financial world and recently added my own business, renovations and industrial cleaning I feel more confident about facing it. I've taken other online courses MBA but I feel more relaxed here and listen to the lectures easily.
And I like Morpheus the chatwall robot who honestly says he may not know it all. I hope the experience just gets better as I upscale and add to my skills.I started my first class today and I am excited to return tomorrow. I also chose to enroll in numerous classes as it seems that it would really give me the knowledge that I need. Thank you for the opportunity, I have also recommended a few of my friends to enroll.
The classes are decent, but I learned from the good folks in this comment section that its difficult to desubscribe, and that they are shady and will charge you even after you cancel. good thing i used a fake payment source. f*ck this abusive shit
Great job from Shaw Academy. The lessons are great and the materials insightful. Highly recommendable for anyone interested in starting a career in Project Management. Keep up the wonderful work guys... Huge thumbs up!
The sound and video quality and the fact that you can go back to watch records are somethings out of many i love about shawacademy
First time to study about graphic design and the lecturers way of teaching is clear and easy to understand.
It is good learning experience with Shaw academy content and information given is good , just few system error needs to be fixed , like regular reminders on dashboard tab for subscription packs and rescadule of lessons are not working well.
Thanks,
Amit KumarThe information is well laid out... However, technically, it's not live but a playback of a recording.
There is not enough time to make a response when asked for one. Prob coz they're recorded playback lessons.Hi, I'm James Egan, founder of Shaw Academy. We take great pride in scamming thousands of people per day. Covid-19 was a lottery win for us. My wonderful staff in Dublin and Bangalore create hundreds of new reviews every day on this and other review platforms. Each as fake as the next to mislead potential victims, kudos to them, its appreciated. It's amazing to think that we're still getting away with it
I'm only on the 2nd lesson. I do like the format teaching format, but it is pretty slow. I don't like only being able to take 2 lessons a week, especially the initial super basic lessons. I was hoping to consume the content much faster since my business is shut down, once it reopens, I'll likely not have time to spend learning and should instead be able to implement. I'm not a complete newbie.
The classes are absolutely great! I have learnt interesting topics within the lessons. It gives a lot of knowledge and I would highly recommend for everyone to join Shaw Academy
So far, so good. I knew a lot about PS, but have learned a few new things. Only 3 lessons in, so I am hoping to learn even more as the course progresses.
LOVE the dud's accent!I have always wanted to take a photography class and now have some extra time. So far, the first two classes were excellent.
I have watched two lessons so far and I am pleased. Pricing is decent as well .
The topics are very suitable for the needs of our learners and as well as the educator. With the pandemic that we're facing right now this would be a great help. It made me appreciate and understand the design. I am looking forward for more knowledge that I could acquire on this lessons.
I thought the first class was well organised,in terms of presentation.The only downside i felt,was that the pace of the lecture was a bit too fast,being the first lecture i could have done with a little mellow approach to be up to speed with the course.
Web Development course:- I have just completed 2 lectures of this course and got knew very new things like CSS and I alredy knew about HTML but after those 2 lectures I learned more about it. Teacher for Web Development couser is also very good I understand everything,every point that he wanted to tell....
So till nice experience to the class....I started learning yesterday and It was a great experience
So far the lessons have been good with the free trial
Good. Slide simple, clear and understand
Learning with shaw has been amazing, the step by step procedure and the simplicity in them has been a totally whole new experience for online classes for me. Lol the voice over is great too, thought its pre recorded, yet it's so interactive.
Great job at shaw academyQuestion - do you need to purchase the ecertificate to go to the next module or can you do all four modules and just buy the final diploma?
really good very understanding and also... point to point... everything give the information.
As I joined my very first lesson about photography, I gained a lots of inputs regarding to the field of photography, lots of tips to make my photograph more realistic and catchy. Thanks to this site i know that this will help me a lot.
Its my first time for any online course and I am very much impressed with shaw academy. Shaw academy is providing a great quality of online courses. I suggest to everyone to use your free time with shaw academy to build your future.
I attended my first class.Basing on what I was taught, it sounded so relevant and awesome to me.
I was so satisfied with the first course, that I also started another one. I love the way lessons are divided for better explanation, as well as the tasks after every second lesson that trigger us to practice even more. I would definitely recommend to everyone willing to save time, and study from home in the free time. It's amazing how you can schedule your classes as you like. The only "bad" side is the pricing. However, I come from poor country where the average salary is 400€, so I guess the courses' price is totally acceptable for countries with higher standards.
shawacademy help me a lot. Great experience
The course was very useful ,and knowledgeable...thanku
Interesting. Simple and great experience
It was my first lesson on shaw academy today. The class was well organized, slides was simple and easy to understand. The question and answer portion was pretty good.
The first class was well organized and clear to understand. Great job from Shaw Academy
This one is a great experience for me. So grateful!

Hi, I'm Carmela in South Carolina. I am taking the Leadership Diploma class. The class is well structured and taught. I do not like the constant up selling of the support materials and tool kits. I have been laid off since March and will not be returning to my job. Unemployment benefits does not pay all of the bills.
Its my first time doing online course. I felt the class was effective and everything was just fine .
Excellent teaching methods
Horrendous marketing schemes.
Do not provide payment details to them.
You will find yourself in a hole.The online Project management course ourse is very interesting but I must say it is not properly structured. It is better you clear everyone from the beginning that there are charges attached the course than indirectly introducing charges at every stage of the training. We are learning project management but I assure you a lot people will drop off at one stage of the course or the other meaning that it will become an ABANDON PROJECT because of poor project planning. Please review your program for each course and tell intending participants how much a course will cost with all materials, tool kits, certificate etc inclusive so whoever that is interested and financially ready to enroll will start the course. Again, why restricting the training only twice a week and just for 1hrs,? My second lesson wasn't even up to 40mins?? Why not incorporate everything into a package and then allow each student to choose how he or she wants the classes. Some of us will like to have 2 - 4hrs a day for 5days and get the program completed ASAP. Please Shaw academy management look into these complaints and improve on your course management. Thanks.
It’s been a great privilege and a life-changing experience. I’m grateful to the Academy for providing an affordable and user-friendly platform for individuals to launch projects and be heard in this way.
-As with many, ended up buying an e- certificate by clicking. That is a practice that no reputable educator would adopt.
I am 2 lessons into a course so will stick with it for another couple, but having studied similar topics, the course is poor. There is nothing new original so far that you couldn't get yourself online. Reed.co.uk are advertising free online courses and they are much better (if not great).Rudimentary at best for an aged student (61) but it’s a trial in Nutrition so I can’t expect much to start...too much pressure to “Buy in extras!”
I am doing online course first time. I felt the class was effective and everything was just fine .
I agree 100% with the comments on the abundant false positive reviews, lots & lots of 1/2 sentence reviews, just to get their rating up & hide the negative reviews of the past few days - very deceitful
Well seeing all these reviews about shaw academy is quite different from what I expected. I was really super excited and still really excited that I'm among this academy because with the lesson I've gotten soo far, I would say they're rather smooth and very educative. My educator made classes really comprehensive which to me was never a bore.
Thank you shaw academy for giving people like me with little income the platform to pursue my dreamsShaw Academy online training is next to none in term of lesson simplicity and style of presentation.
Their flexibility of lesson schedule makes it more friendly to one that has a busy schedule and their arrangements on reschedule missed lessons also make it easy for me to follow up the lessons. This is a very commendable landmark for Shaw Academy when looking at other Academies that offer similar training to people. KudosThis is my first day on Digital Marketing free trial. I've learned so much in Lesson 1. Can't wait to finish them all. Thank you so much Shaw Academy.
TOTAL SCAM. One and a half months after CANCELLATION, they have taken 50 Euros from my account for no reason. Even though I had no access to the platform or any communication AT ALL, they have unlawfully charged me and are now refusing a refund.
Their initial claim was that I did not cancel, then they said that the cancellation was "not complete" despite having no access to the platform, having a member of their team gathering feedback about the cancellation and not having any payments as the trial period expired or the month afterwards. They have RANDOMLY AND UNLAWFULLY taken money from my account for a service that was not provided, based on an absolute and non-sensical lie (that I did not cancel, despite the overwhelming evidence).
Shaw Academy is nothing but a collection of pre-recorded and fairly poor musings about different subjects that acts as a front SCAM OPERATION, that even as you follow their procedures still has the nerve to illegally take money from your bank account.Review about: Urbanara

Didn’t receive order
Ordered a miniature set for Christmas , received an email saying it had been dispatched but it’s not the 15th of January and I still haven’t received my order . I have sent an email to customer services but they have ignored it . They took 20 pounds of my money so I’m very unhappy and going to take further action if they continue to ignore my communication ! Will not be using the site again .
was the ordered dispatched within UK?

Review about: Toople
Business broadband - terrible
Dear Toople!
I hope that this is a way of finally getting an answer from somebody who is professional and in the know.
I have been a business broadband customer since the start of 2019 and while I had no problems, all was fine. Meaning, I paid and I had internet and a phone line. Then, in mid-October we had a lightning strike in our area which fried every router in the area. And here is where my troubles begun. I phoned on the Friday, one day after the lightning strike, to request a new router. I was told that the person dealing with this had already gone home, but she would sort it on Monday and I would have a new router Tuesday/Wednesday.
Days came and went. No router. I rang again, to be told that there was no request whatsoever on my account. So I ordered again. I was told it would arrive within a couple of days. Guess what? No router. Fast forward and 6 weeks on and a few phone calls in to different people, still no router. Please understand this: we use a card machine and hence were not able to TAKE ANY CARD PAYMENTS.
I was told as one reason why the router had not arrived: "we have had problems with the dispatch of our routers".
Well, tragic when what you do is router-based. FINALLY, after 6 weeks a new router arrived. Now, call me petty, but I felt I should have at least a full refund for the 6 weeks of direct debit that I paid out, but received no service. It is good standard to do so, considering that I spent hours on the phone, had financial losses and am now sitting here again, on a Sunday, wasting my time! I was told via email by the billing team that I had been refunded, so checked my account - nothing. Promptly my next bill arrived, this time 'only' stating £11.98 to pay, rather than the usual £25.79. This raised the question: had Toople 'refunded' me a total of £13.81? I asked for clarification via email to the billing team: no response.
In the end I decided to cancel my direct debit to Toople in the hope that this would finally result in some contact. But, nothing. I requested that a manager contact me, again via email to the billing team: nothing.
Toople: a refund of £13.81 for 6 weeks of no internet? Are you serious?????
Where do we go from here, I wonder?
I hope to hear from you with a solution that makes me want to stay your customer.ofcom , !! that where im going, they need shut down .
Still having problems with them now, eventhough I cancelled my contract with them months ago.
