Review about: Always Personal
Personalised footstool as christening gift
I absolutely love the personalised footstool I bought from this company. It's really well made and feels sturdy, plus the wood is nice and smooth with no rough bits at all. The design on it is just lovely, and it makes me so happy to look at it. The service I got was top-notch and the delivery was really quick too. All in all, I'd say it was definitely worth the money, and I'd definitely suggest this company and this footstool as a gift to anyone else.
Review about: Floom
Birthday flowers
OMG, Floom completely disappointed me with my birthday flowers! I ordered ahead of time for my special day, but they completely failed to deliver. I was really looking forward to surprising my friend with a lovely bouquet, but it never showed up. Floom completely ruined my day and I won't be relying on them for important events in the future. Save yourself the hassle and don't bother ordering from them if you want your flowers to actually arrive!
Review about: Darlings of Chelsea
Super cool sofa
I recently found a really awesome sofa at this shop, and it's super comfy and looks great in my room. The staff there were so friendly and helped me pick out the perfect one. Mohammed at the store near Birmingham was incredibly helpful and kept me in the loop about my order, which was brilliant.
Review about: The Beauty Store
Cleansers and cosmetics
I recently bought some cleansers and cosmetics from The Beauty Store, and I've got mixed feelings about it. The prices were great, and I got my stuff quickly and in good condition, which was a plus. But, I did notice something weird about the expiration dates on the products. The tops of the tubes were chopped off, and the dates said 2022, which got me thinking about whether the products were really legit.
Even though I had doubts, I still gave the products a go, but I did a patch test on my skin just to be safe. When it comes to customer service, I gotta say I was disappointed. I sent two emails asking about the expiration dates and what was in a set, but I never got a reply.
From my experience, I'd recommend using PayPal for purchases to avoid any potential problems with returns.Review about: Reboxed
Merino wool jumper
I recently bought a Merino wool jumper from this website, and I have to say I was really impressed with the quality of the product. The jumper arrived in perfect condition, and the price was unbeatable compared to other shops. The website was easy to use, and ordering was a breeze. I was also amazed by how quickly my item was delivered, which meant I got it right on time. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase and will definitely shop here again.
Review about: Kiltane
Scarf purchase
I recently bought a scarf from your shop in Edinburgh and I have to say, I was really disappointed with the whole thing. Firstly, the customer service was not great. They didn't give me the option to return the item for free, even though there's a store and warehouse in Edinburgh. I had to pay to send it back, which was a bit of a pain and felt old-fashioned. Also, the pictures of the scarf online weren't a true reflection of what I got. I was expecting a bright, colourful scarf but what I got was a bit dark and dull. When I told customer service about this, they just made excuses and didn't really listen when I showed them evidence from their own website. All in all, it was a really disappointing experience.
Review about: Metrofone
Sony handset on Vodafone
These people really are top-notch in the mobile phone market. They've got some fantastic deals, a website that's easy to use, and a checkout and delivery process that runs like a dream. I recently snagged a lovely Sony phone on Vodafone at a bargain price. I can't recommend them enough, and I'll definitely be coming back for more in the future.
Review about: GreatArt
Brushes and paints
I've just bought some brushes and paints from this shop, and I was really happy with how everything went. The items were bought, sent off, and delivered with no problems at all, which was great. The only thing I'd suggest to make it even better is to send email alerts when an order has been dispatched, so customers can relax knowing their stuff is on its way.
Review about: Shein
Birthday gift
I received this really cool birthday present that was supposed to arrive in two weeks, but ended up getting here in just one week! It was amazing because it meant I had it in plenty of time for the big day. I was so excited to give it to my friend and they absolutely loved it!
Review about: Specscart
Sunglasses
I bought a pair of sunglasses from this company not long ago, and honestly, I wasn't too happy with the service I got. They didn't give me the right information about what prescription I needed, so now I'm stuck with a pair of sunglasses that I can't even use. The sunglasses might have been alright, but it's a bit pointless if I can't actually wear them, isn't it?
Review about: Rugs Direct
Rug purchase
I recently bought a rug from Rugs Direct. The delivery was quick, and they kept me updated throughout the whole process which was good. However, I was a bit disappointed to see that the colour of the rug was not exactly like it was in the photo and didn't really match my living room. Despite this, I was happy that I could return the rug for a refund, even though I had to pay for the return. It would have been easier if they offered samples of the rugs to avoid the need for returns because of colour differences. Nonetheless, I was really impressed with the customer service I got and the huge selection of rugs they have on their website. In general, I wouldn't mind ordering from Rugs Direct again in the future.
Review about: Stonebridge College
Enrolled in functional skills level 2
I signed up for functional skills level 2 maths and English at Stonebridge College. Getting enrolled was easy peasy, but that's where the good stuff ended. Nobody told me how long the course would last, and no one got in touch with me the whole time. When I tried to book an assessment before the exam, I was told the course was already done and dusted. I felt like I threw away £800 for nothing. The complete lack of communication and support from the college left me feeling really let down and annoyed.
Review about: Lampoo
Online order and delivery
At first, I was a bit unsure about buying something from this website because of some bad reviews. But I'm happy to say that I had a really good experience. I had a question, so I got in touch with customer service, and they got back to me really quickly, which was a nice surprise. The person I spoke to was so helpful and sorted out my problem straight away. The thing I bought was just what I wanted, and it arrived in only 4 days with a reliable courier service. They even included return labels and clear instructions in case I needed to send it back, which was reassuring. Overall, I'm really happy with my online shopping experience and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from here again in the future.
Review about: Chic Me
Clothing items
I am absolutely fuming about the customer service I received recently. I ordered some clothes and they took forever to arrive, and then when they did, one of the items was completely wrong. When I tried to return it, they were so slow to respond and wouldn't let me send it back. They only offered me a tiny 10% refund, which was really disappointing. On top of that, the quality of the clothes was terrible, it was like they were made from tissue paper.
Review about: Travel Talk Tours
Best of Turkey by Land 12-day tour
Wow, we had an absolutely amazing time on our trip to Turkey! We went on a 12-day tour and it was just incredible. Everything was organised so smoothly and we got to see all the amazing sights in Turkey. Our guide was fantastic, he made sure everyone in our big group was happy and well taken care of. The best parts were definitely exploring the old cities and the stunning gorge. I never imagined I would enjoy a tour so much, but this one was truly awesome!
Review about: LW Theatres
Ticket date change
I had to change the date of my ticket to see a particular show. So, I got in touch with customer relations and they replied quickly. They told me to book the new date I wanted and assured me that I'd get a refund for the original ticket. The refund was started on the same day I contacted them and I must say, I'm really happy with how efficient and professional their customer service was. I couldn't have hoped for a better experience.
Review about: Cotton Traders
Cut off cargo pants, excellent fit, comfortable, lightweight
Why bother with other brands when you can find the ideal pair of cargo pants right here? I was really pleased with how these pants fit - they were comfy and they looked really good on me. Plus, they were just right for my walks because they're so lightweight. I'm really pleased with my buy and I'll definitely come back for more.
Review about: Secret Gardening Club
Plant purchase
I ordered some really cool plants, but I never received them! I paid back in October, sent them an email and got a reply, but unfortunately, I still haven't received the plants. It's really not cool!
Review about: Stradivarius
Clothing quality and delivery efficiency
I was a bit surprised to see quite a few negative reviews online, but my own experience with the app wasn't perfect. I encountered some technical issues, like the app crashing and sending me back to the top of the page when I wanted to check out a product. Nevertheless, I have to say that the clothing was top quality and arrived promptly.
Review about: Canadian Affair
Trip review
My family recently went on a trip by train and cruise, and it was absolutely fantastic! Everything went smoothly, except for the hotel we stayed at in Banff. It was a bit disappointing - no breakfast, no meals, and no bar! I mean, why stay there if we can't even grab some breakfast, you know? We had to visit their sister hotel to enjoy those amenities. The room we stayed in felt more like a chalet, which was a bit strange. On the positive side, the hotel in Vancouver was amazing! It felt like we were staying in a luxurious 4-star hotel with all the fancy extras.
Review about: Unisport
Football cleats purchase
As an experienced football player, I've bought many pairs of football boots from this online shop. They not only have a great range of hard-to-find products, but their customer service is top-notch. The cleat review videos and training videos on their site are some of the best I've seen, giving useful tips for players at any level. Plus, I've always been impressed by the prices and how quickly my orders arrive. Unisport is now my number one online shop for all things football in Europe.
Review about: Just Vitamins
Glucomannan supplements
I've been a loyal customer of this company for quite some time now, so I thought I'd give their Glucomannan supplements a go as they come highly recommended. Even though they're a bit pricier than their other more budget-friendly products, I decided to order a packet. But after taking the tablets as directed for around 3 weeks, I haven't noticed any difference in terms of feeling full or delaying my next meal. Honestly, it's just been a total waste of money.
Review about: Koi Footwear
Chunky, lightweight shoes
Wow, these shoes are absolutely fabulous, I just can't get over it! The company really knows how to deliver top-notch customer service. They assisted me with everything I wanted and made sure I was really satisfied. The shoes look even better in person and those chunky soles are absolutely gorgeous!
Review about: Black Label Grooming
Hair gel
Hey, so I've been using this hair gel for ages now and it's really great. But, mate, I ordered some more a while back and it still hasn't arrived. I've tried emailing and calling but haven't heard anything back. Do you reckon they've closed down or what? It's such a shame if they have, but they should let us know what's going on, don't you think?
Review about: Ribble Cycles
High-end road bike
I bought a top-of-the-range road bike from Ribble Cycles recently, and I have to say, I was really impressed with the frame quality. However, the parts that came with the bike were not up to scratch and didn't last long at all. I had to replace the wheels, bottom bracket, and thru axle pretty quickly because they were just not durable. I was let down by the company's lack of accountability and the fact that their products were often unavailable. It was frustrating that their phone lines closed at 1pm and they were frequently out of stock. Overall, I wouldn't recommend buying from them again.
Review about: Playful Promises
Lace lingerie set
I have to say, the communication and customer service at this place is exceptional! I was really impressed by how attentive and helpful the staff were. And let me tell you about the products - they are absolutely beautiful! The lace lingerie set I bought was not just lovely to look at but also excellent quality. It was definitely worth the price and I felt like I got good value for my money. In general, I had a brilliant shopping experience and I will definitely be back for more.
Review about: Garden Street
Charles Taylor narrow log storage unit
I bought a log storage unit from this shop recently and I have to say, I was really impressed. The Charles Taylor log storage unit is well-made and it was a great deal. When it arrived, it was already put together, which was a nice surprise. My whole shopping experience with them was brilliant, and I would definitely suggest this shop to anyone looking for top-notch outdoor furniture.
Review about: F. Hinds Jewellers
Necklace repair and cleaning
I went to the jeweller not long ago because I needed to get a necklace fixed and cleaned. The people there were really nice and gave me good advice on how they would fix it, and told me when I could expect it to be ready. They seemed very professional and paid a lot of attention to getting everything just right. When I went back to pick up the necklace, I was really happy with how well they had fixed it and how clean it looked. All in all, I had a really good experience at the jeweller and I would definitely tell others to go there for their services.
Review about: Watch Pilot
Birthday watch for partner
I recently bought a watch from this website as a birthday present for my partner. I was really happy with the great service I got. The manager even gave me a call before I made my online order, offering me a discount and free gift wrapping. That personal touch meant a lot to me and made me feel like a valued customer. The watch arrived the next day, without me having to pay extra for express delivery. I was impressed by how quickly it came and by the high quality of the watch. I'll definitely be telling my friend about this website.
Review about: Offer Games
Pre-Ordered Video Game for PS5
I recently pre-ordered a video game for my PS5 console from this company and it was a great experience. I chose the signature on delivery service, which was definitely worth it as it made sure my package got to me securely. Even though they took payment right away, being able to save money by pre-ordering well in advance of the release date is a big plus for those trying to budget. I would definitely suggest Offer Games to anyone wanting to pre-order games without any hassle.
Review about: Questor Insurance
Long-standing customer
I've been with this insurance company for three years and so far I haven't needed to make a claim. However, I have contacted their customer service team a few times and I have to say, they've been really nice and useful each time. Dealing with them was a breeze - they were quick and knew what they were doing. I'm grateful for the fact that they didn't cause any issues and made everything easy for me.
Review about: Teamzo
Inter Milan Away Football Shirt for Granddaughter
I received the Inter Milan Away Football Shirt I ordered for my granddaughter pretty quickly, which was great. But, to my dismay, it didn't have the logo on the front like the one shown on their website and my order confirmation. I tried giving them a call, but no one picked up and the message box was full. So, I've now sent them an email to ask about this mix-up. I'm starting to think it might be a trading standards problem. It's a shame because apart from this hiccup, their service seemed top-notch.
Review about: Rent a Company
Office rental service
I'm really happy with the office rental service from this company. They've been great from the first enquiry to signing the contract. The staff, especially Alyssa, are so helpful, know their stuff, always on it, and really patient. It's reassuring to know my account is being looked after so well. Dennis was also top-notch, showing that the service is top-notch across the board. I'm thankful to have found this company for my office needs and definitely suggest them to others.
Review about: Toad Hall Cottages
Bella Nites in Lyme Regis
We had a lovely stay at a place called Bella Nites in Lyme Regis. It was a cosy bungalow that had all the comforts we needed. The welcome hamper was a nice surprise and made us feel really at home. The conservatory was a fantastic place to unwind and take in the views. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and we would definitely return in the future.
Review about: Fantastic Services
Gardening Service
I just got some gardeners round to sort out my yard and I have to say, Mark and Lily did a fantastic job. They really knew their stuff, were super efficient, and just all-around professional. They not only got the job done to a really high standard, but they also gave me some great tips about looking after my plants that I found really useful. I was really impressed with how careful they were and how they were willing to do that little bit extra to make sure I was happy with everything. Overall, I'm chuffed to bits with the service I received and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone else who needs a hand with their garden.
Review about: Cosmos
Cancelled holiday, lost money
I had to cancel my holiday with a big company the other day because I got really ill and couldn't go. They wouldn't give me any money back, even though I'd paid quite a bit for the trip. To make matters worse, I had to post some items to the hotel, and they were trying to charge me 15 euros to send them back to me. How greedy can you get? They wouldn't even cut me some slack, even though I'd spent a fortune with them. Why are they all so unhelpful and money-hungry these days?
Review about: Tru Diamonds
3 rings
Wow, I recently bought three rings from this store and they are absolutely amazing! I couldn't be happier with them. They are really sparkly and look fantastic on my fingers.
Review about: 80s Casual Classics
Classic and modern casual clothing
I've always been really impressed with 80's Casual Classics. They've got a great mix of classic and modern styles in their clothing selection. The prices are unbeatable and the customer service is fantastic. Whether I'm after a retro outfit or something more up-to-date, I know I can count on them to deliver the perfect look. They really are a cut above the rest when it comes to casual clothing stores.
Review about: Findmypast
Family tree research difficulties
I did run into a few problems when I was trying to view and add family members, but all in all, I've really enjoyed creating my family tree and uncovering relatives I didn't know about.
Review about: MonoSurveys
Survey reward delay
I've just finished a survey that said I'd get a reward, but I've not received anything yet. I'm really let down because I spent time giving my opinions and was excited to get something in return. It feels like this company is terrible at keeping their promises to their participants. I'd advise others to be careful about getting involved with them.
Review about: Spatial Online
TV purchase
I'm so chuffed with the TV I got, it was an absolute bargain, and I even managed to get a bit of a discount on top! Before I went ahead and bought it, I had a quick look at some reviews online just to make sure everything was legit. Buying the TV was dead easy, and it arrived in no time at all. Now I can finally enjoy watching telly with a much better picture quality, happy days!
Review about: Luca Faloni
Luxury knit cashmere sweater
As someone who shops online quite a bit and spends a fair amount each year across different brands, I have to say that Luca Faloni really stands out as top-notch when it comes to customer service. When I ordered a luxury knit cashmere sweater from them, I was really impressed right from the start. The ordering process went smoothly, and their customer service team was super quick to respond. They really pay attention to the little details and make sure you're happy. I got regular updates on my order's status, and any questions I had were dealt with promptly and professionally. It's not often you find such great service when shopping online, but Luca Faloni has definitely raised the bar.
Review about: Linzi
Block heeled sandals, beautiful packaging
I've just bought a lovely pair of block heeled sandals online and I have to say, I'm really happy with them. They look just as good as they did on the website and they fit perfectly. Not to mention, they are really comfortable too. But what really impressed me was the packaging - it was clear that a lot of care went into making sure the shoes arrived in great condition. Thank you for taking the time to get everything just right, I really appreciate it.
Review about: FFX
Evolution tools
Super quick delivery at prices cheaper than going direct to the manufacturer. Can't fault one little bit.

Handyman
Booked a handyman to help with some odd jobs around the house after we moved in. Great help! Managed to do more than I expected and gave me some very useful tips. All in all great service from these guys.
Review about: TransferWise
TransferWise
I'm feeling very disappointed with this financial service, I sent a considerably amount in euros to GBP, from Spain to UK, they took ages to deposit my money in my account just because they said that my name wasn't correct, (of course my name won't be correct if I have a Spanish last name to an English last name, it was missing a name as we have two last names in Spain and not in UK), however, they request me a lot of documents to prove it was me, I sent to them the documents and it took them more than 24 hours to reply me, I called them and they where saying nothing about my money, they were like hiding my money, so be careful if you are going to send a big amount, I think they play with your money in order to have a 48 hours benefits from other financial services, and they hide your money making up histories that your transfer has trouble, just to make you suffer and concern, I lost a lot of money because they transfer did not arrive on time, I won't recommend this service if you are going to send a big amount.
Yes, don't use TWise for larger amounts, say >£4000. The % fee ramps up and it is cheaper to use an FX money broker. Also don't send money on Fridays, only monday-weds. It's faster as EU banks don't seem to accept funds over the weekend.
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
