Review about: Not In The Dog House
Dog food
Ordered £77.50 worth of dog food in mid October, it was never delivered. Requested refund which was acknowledged but never given, still waiting. Disgraceful behaviour by a ‘Family business’. The amount of similar negative reviews would suggest a pattern here, perhaps even deliberate deception. I suggest people notify the police, I have.
The company appear to have a pet supply business and shop in Knaresborough so on the face of it should have been credible…a company house check shows them to be solvent, what a shame how you can be so let down by rogue traders.Review about: Slurp
High Quality
Some special occasions demand a special drink, especially wine. Wine symbolises celebration, anywhere there is a celebration, there should be a good and quality wine. The question is how does one know a quality wine? A quality wine can be known through the sweetness; Your ability to judge the sweetness of the wine begins at the tip of the tongue. A good wine must also possess some level of acidity. This should not be confused with having a high concentration of alcohol. Wines with higher levels of acidity may taste tart and zesty – a bit lighter than others. When you take a sip, you should feel a tingling sensation on the front and sides of your tongue. However, if you’d rather choose a wine that is more ‘rich’, then you need a less acidic wine. Other wine qualities include tannin levels, fruity flavour etc. Many companies claim that they offer quality wines via their online shop and deliver them globally with the best shipping and return policy services. One of such companies is Slurp, and as such you might decide to check them out if you are looking for where to buy quality wines.
Slurp confirms that they offer Wines, Fizz, Spirits and beers, wine cases, gifts etc. They declared that their wine can be shopped on the categories of type, region and wine cases. Their offered types of wine include red wine, white wine, rose wine, fizz, fine wine, port, sherry and dessert, Organic and Vegan, Low and no alcohol. The firm alleges that its services include shipping and delivery, private tastings and events, wine and food pairing etc.Review about: Sky
TV, Broadband, Talk
Happy TV customer for 17 years. Added phone and broadband - recent storm resulted in crossed lines in our area. Sky customer service is absolutely useless. Spent hours and hours on hold listening to grotty music and they still can't get things sorted !!!

Review about: Autodoc
crank sensor
Frustrating parcel delivery system,which never seems to be updated.dont know about the part since it has still not arrived after one week don't know if it's being delivered by bicycle.
Review about: Autodoc
Brake pads for Ford Focus
Order placed 9 days ago. After charging £8 odd for delivery I expected delivery in about 48 hours. Still waiting. Probably run out of hay for the pony! So here it is. If you want something quickly don’t use Auotdoc. If the price is right and you don’t mind waiting for ever then go for it. I don’t think I shall be using them again. I’ve almost lost the will to live!
First time in using, after giving reg number, for a 1.2 Punto, received head gasket for a 2.0 litre Lancia,that was not even imported into the UK. Quite arrogant at first as to the infallibility of their ordering system, but eventually received a refund. Thought I'd try them again for a small sensor as the price seemed good. Still waiting after a week, thought because of the small packet status,that it would at least be sent via airmail. And not by donkey cart via the Alps.
Review about: Currys PC World
Gas cooker
Positive in past 15 years always had great service. Currently it has been horrendous. I have been left with faulty gas cooker which has now been condemned and voucher issued for replacement. This issue has been ongoing for over 3 months. Delivery / installation was booked for 3rd July. I waited in all day and phoned to be told it will now be 17th July, no reason given, No contact to tell me. I feel sorry for call centre staff who have to deal with things like this. I have made numerous calls and on one occasion given a premium rate number to call by one customer care agent, I wasn't told it was going to cost me premium rate call. As a 68 year old disabled person on state pension only I can ill afford numerous phone calls let alone a £10 call, ! Not once have I received any help to resolve this. So now taking the matter further. What once was a caring trustworthy company has now turned into a totally uncaring / unhelpful one who puts profits before customer services. I would cancel my order but would only get a voucher which means I would need to purchase from this abysmal uncaring company. Shame on youI'll never purchase anything from this company again.

A joke of company selling items not in stock,11 days and still no item would not buy from again
Review about: British Gas
Energy
Most expensive supplier in the market. Customer service is none existent. They will lie to you and Rob you blind. They also use other platforms to pay for good reviews. Still advertising a service they are not providing. Using Covid as an excuse for not providing said paid for services. They are a dinosaur that needs to be extinct.
British Gas IS SUPER USELESS!
No Gas. No Hot water. Boiler Non Functional. They will not come until 4 days . Onthe 4th day when British Gas was supposed to turn up, one super stupid idiot called for the apponitment to be rescheduled! May God Almighty rain cold and all inconviniences on you all!Review about: Online Carpets
Carpet
We recently had some carpet laid from Online carpets.
We noticed a line running the entire length of the room so contacted customer services who said it would disapear after a short while.
The line never faded, its clear it a manufacturing defect IMO but customer services dont seem to car or be doing anything about it.
I have sent numerous emails and photos and they are just ignoring me.
The carpet cost nearly £300 and it seems its going to have to get ripped up and replaced at my expense.
Very poor product with absolutely disgusting customer service i would urge you to think twice before placing an order!Review about: Shaw Academy
Toolkit
Shaw academy is fantastic guys. I am really happy to being a part of this academy as a learner...
I am completely satisfied with the course. The time that I saved comparing with the time that I would spent trying to find useful videos on YouTube and other similar is incomparable
Maybe it was because i am new and just starting but i found the course to be spoken at a rapid rate and tried to take notes but slides passed to quick... other then that i did enjoy my first lesson and picked up some knowledge of the markets and what they are about.
Great teaching and great tutor. Easy to understand class as use simple examples to explain. Love the interactive sessions too. Will definitely recommend ????????
Great courses; engaging, interesting, useful and good pace
Loving my learning experience with Shaw Academy.
Its really fun learning with Shaw academy..Its good to utilise time...Shaw academy provides notes...and useful information...It also anwers our questions quickly...There are also helpers in classroom which respond to our questions..It relates us to our daily life...There are various options for learning...We can schedule our days and timings according to our needs...We can also re-schedule or restart the module...Its realky fun to learn ...It is very interesting..Please support shaw academy..????????
Regards!This is my first time to try an online class. I had my first class yesterday and so far I'm quite happy with the experience. It's easier to follow the lesson if you have the toolkit ready.
It's a nice platform, they take their time to explain certain topics without difficulty
I'm enjoying the lessons so far. They are really nice
It is a very nice presentation to understand
Honestly I came into the trial not expecting much, but I am thoroughly enjoying the course and look forward to the rest of the module.
Teaching method of sir is brilliant.... firstly I faced problem due to understand the accent but now I am comfortable
The first class was great and informative. The pace was spot on and the information was presented in a visually appealing way. The support systems in place are a little off. I got a call at 5:47AM reminding me of my class despite having confirmed it multiple times. I also got numerous emails and texts telling me I was late for my class when I wasn’t.
It is great so far. I believe it can be improved by adding more explanation to the concepts discussed sometimes.
Shaw Academy is fantastic. This is my 3 course withthem. Very helpful and informative
Cryptocurrency class is great but being marked as absent when I followed the links provided and being marked absent while I am listening to the only option I was given is not.
Enjoyed the first class but having trouble with trade plateform you suggested. Lets trade .com has no way to put in usa as country?? Not sure about that. Class was good !
I'm really happy with the course, the lectures are good, they are fun and engaging and I'm definitely learning which is the most important thing.
I do however have a few issues which are annoying enough for me to write this review,
1. EMAILS: I only joined last week and since them I have been bombarded with emails, the majority of which are erroneous, I keep getting emails to say that I'm late to the class or I have missed the class when in fact I'm actually logged in and watching the class and the notifications become a distraction from the class. (I unsubscribed from the emails but I still have an inbox full of erroneous emails).
2. Constant notifications asking me to update the App, when in fact the app is up-to-date.
3. The 1-click payment button to buy the toolkits is quite cheeky and really incessant, kind of comes across very naggy and I really don't like it, honestly, on principal it makes me not want to buy it.
Overall:
Great course, good lecturers, interesting content but emails, notifications and one-click payment button are driving me insane.I have a lifetime membership why must I buy a toolkit to attend a class? I have also been getting emails for classes that start at 3 am that I didn't sign up for or reminders for classes that state that I am late when in fact I am online and watching the class. What is this about?
I am enjoying the course, but in my opinion, it would be a better experience if It had courses in my natural language, in the case of Portuguese (br).
I am enjoying the class so far. I am excited about learning more.
Love the classes. I'm glad this work so smooth.
The course material is very well organized and is executed in an easy to follow format. The classes are very engaging and incredibly informative! I love the trivia questions asked throughout as an interactive tool to remote learning!
I was only able to do a couple of lessons due to changes is my schedule. But, for the time I was on, I could see it was an effective way to possibly learn. I got to choose my days to take a class. I received constant reminders (with everything going on, helpful for me). And, appears as though ample support available. Communication seems really good.
I saw the Ad on Facebook and decided to check it out I wish I knew about it before,I am enjoying my clasdes. I have also shared it with my friends.
The course information is good but the instructor talks so fast it is hard to take notes. Before I finish, he is talking about something else, so I miss some notes. I am not going to be spending money to get the full programs he is using or continue taking lessons because I am on a fixed income and I do not plan to become a graphic designer. I can't afford to spend money on programs and courses that I will not benefit from.
This was a great online course. Engaging, informative, and speedy. Great use of my time.
I am not sure about it yet. Actually at this time I am somewhat frustrated because of the "one click purchase" links all over the UI that charge without confirmation.
I opened a ticket with CS for a refund, since I clicked one of these by mistake not intending to make a purchase and I still have not received an answer or a resolution to my request.
In terms of content it looks interesting albeit after two lessons a bit too early to make a solid review.The Project Management course is very informative and easy to follow. I look forward to implementing the skills that I am learning.
I was severely disappointed by the content and user experience you presented. The "learning" seemed to be un-substantiated and not detailed enought to be actionable. In the spirit of fairness, this was the intro module and as such would likely be more "big picture"
It was also frustrating that the instructor asked multiple times for input to "Morpheaus" but found no way to communicate back to the module.Enjoying this learning experience. Easy to use and understand
I enrolled for the online free course for social media and i want to cancel membership but cannot find the icon and I do not want to be charged after because that is what will happen if I do not opt out. Please look into this
Still new to Shaw academy. Having trouble finding my way around the website, purchased some tool kit for course content etc. can access lecture notes but still don’t know how to unlock assignments or quizzes as there are no instructions if we have to wait. Tried downloading the app, useless as when opened it making me pay for toolkit all over again.
I was looking for an online course in graphic design and found Shaw! I enjoy the class, and really appreciate that the application of the knowledge and examples of bad application.
Great start, Thanks for having me here in Shaw Academy!
I had an awesome experience. 5 stars for a great job. Learning a lot from Shaw Academy and I'm excited for more.
Very good learning site. High quality courses. :)
Shaw academy is very good and interesting
Really happy to get knowledge like thisI am happy to be one of the learners and I am looking forward to more learnings
The lesson sessions are great.
This is my 3rd course with Shaw Academy. They are great to learn and study with. The tutors are so helpful
I'm really enjoying learning the lessons. Mobile app development is something very new to me. But I'm worried if we don't subscribe for toolkit will I be able to do good or will I be able to complete my course without toolkit.
It's been two classes and I learnt couple of new things here which I never knew. These were so basic and we usually ignore them. However, by attending the classes I understood how important these are and would of great help. Thanks Shawacademy and the trainer of course.
Excellent so far
Lesson two complete, I have learnt so much again today thank you.
Coupon codes bought from other websites or apps for 3 months free access not working.
I like it so far. Would recommend to others
It’s a new learning experience. I’m glad to enroll in one of Shaw Academy’s courses and I’m looking forward to a lot more. Learning couldn’t be a lot easier.
Although the content of the course is very good, the amount of emails I've been sent does get a bit annoying so I unsubscribed from receiving them.
So far I have completed Lessons 1 and 2 and I have found the classes very easy to follow. You get reminders of your classes and if you can't make the class you can very easily reschedule them. I am a beginner at graphic design so this is all new to me. I get to do it at the comfort of my home. I suffer from depression and anxiety so this is perfect for me. I am also the kind of person who likes to take notes and since I can rewatch the classes through the video and can go over my notes in case I missed anything unlike real school. I can't wait for my future lessons!
its a terrific learning website
App does not work properly. the reminders are fine but when i joined the class, you still rated me as absent. ??? unable to join via the app. i joined the class using the link on the text messages you sent.
Shaw academy is a brilliant educational app and I really love it.i want to take more and more courses from Shaw academy
In examples taking only software projects if it possible give in Construction projects.
Enjoying the courses very much after trial and error with the schedule
Very informativeAwesome experience .
Detailed explanation by the trainers .
Good Job ????Just completed my first lesson in Digital Marketing - Great start. Laura the educator was clear friendly and consice. 45 mins was also just the right length for my brain to engage with !!!
I found the tutor spoke very fast with no chance to ask a question, no pauses, and a lot of information to digest, which is fine, but when its that fast its difficult to take comprehensive notes
Having only completed the very 1st module, I cannot speak for the entire course yet. But, my 1st impression of the course is that it is very professional, well laid out and the recorded webinars you attend appear to have good structure. The content of the 1st webinar was good, the slides were engaging and at this point I would recommend to a friend with one caveat...
...be ready to have to spend money. Unfortunately the pretence of the advertisements that the course is free is somewhat misleading as to achieve certification, and gain access to the slide decks and resources you have to pay. Not great when a course is advertised for free.
My advice would be to be upfront with everyone, if not in your ad, on your landing page.
There is a chance this could get a 5 star review from me once completed, however the claim you can effectively do this course for free is a lie and misleading.amazing to learn
Fantastic experience as a learner.
It was great, never thought within one hour this much topics will be covered that too in a very interesting manner..
Great start, if the rest of the modules are the same standard, going to be a really interesting course.
I enjoyed the class but I missed out on the Adobe graphic design illustration..
I don't know if I can re take itI've really enjoyed the first module of the Graphic Design course. Surprisingly captivating.
I am really happy to be part of this. I feel Elated. ????
It's a very good learning platform. I wish the trainer went a little slow with the lesson though, i think i missed a few topics in between because of their speed. Hence i was not able to answer the lesson quiz properly.
A nice and I consider it as the best platform to learn online
Very interesting and interactive classes
I like studying hereWell honestly I fall Short to say, you guys are amazing, the best, I like the platform, the way the tutors impart the classes is very detailed..
Thanks a lot Guys...Everiting is OK :-)
I enjoy the class, but I also realize that its important for me to listen to the replay, so I can take it in slowly, and get more clarity. Yhank you for the replay review.
Great content,and structure.
I wish you bring in more advanced course at higher EQF levels.After attending the class I did enjoy the info and it was precise and informative. I honestly did feel like I was alone in it. It didnt feel like a live class but more like a recorded class. That being said it did get the lesson done in a easy to follow way and I cant wait to continue my education. Thank you guys keep up the good work. Maybe some live streaming could be implemented tho to make it feel more interactive. Just a thought.
My first class was inspirational,knowledge base, stimulant, motivational and it also helps to want to have a growth mindset. I want to be a better me.
So far, I've liked very much the course.
Am really glad I found Shaw Academy, am glad to learn here!
I enjoyed my first lesson so far
Shaw Academy is very great for people who wants to learn more.
Shaw academy is just what every beginner who want to build a career in information technology, computer scientist and software engineers profession needs to climb the ladder. excellent communication delivery by Shaw educator, perfect slide during the class and i appreciate the questions and answers by the educator to the students on every class. I'm learning and will recommend Shaw academy to my friends. Thanks to all the Shaw academy staffs and board for imparting knowledge and skills to the community and world.
I'm happy to be a part of shaw academy, I have really been learning new things in each of the classes. Kudos to my educator! I love shaw academy!
I have completed my first lesson in MAD and I must say that I was impressed with the content and flow of the lecture. The presenter demonstrated depth and breadth of knowledge and I cannot wat to delve into the "meat of the matter". I am not fond of the one-click-purchase components as I accidentally clicked on a package when I was not yet ready to purchase it in the first place. It can be unnerving. I am impressed with the offering thus far and I will continue to comment as time passes by,
Class was excellent and its really honed my english ..

Had my first lesson. Very professional and delivered well. You get a LOT of notifications before the lesson which i think is a little over the top, but quality seems to be good so far. Thanks

Review about: Shaw Academy
Web Development
Early days but so far, I am pleased with the content and delivery of the course.
The lesson content is very concise and to the point and is delivered at a fairly brisk pace however, you are able to re-run the class afterwards and then pause, rewind etc so you can pick up anything you may have missed first time around.
I find the bombardment of messages for class reminders a bit over the top.
On the whole, Shaw Academy appear to be a very good online education provider.Review about: C W Sellors
