Review about: Boux Avenue
Pyjamas
I bought my wife a set of Ruby red pyjamas from Boux Avenue for Christmas. (I went here as Victoria's secret was sold out). What a nightmare! The pyjamas have very badly stained the white bed sheet, the duvet and the pillow cases. These are now unusable! (They are from the white company so not cheap). I have messaged Boux Ave and their response is that because we didn't wash the pyjamas prior to wearing them, it is my fault. Seriously! Who washes jeans, socks, shirts etc before wearing! (We've never washed prior to wearing her Victoria's Secret pjs which are similar colours). Absolutely shocking... please avoid this company and their products! This has been a very expensive experience!
Review about: Nova Direct Breakdown Cover
Gadget
They took money out of my account in error. They quickly admitted this but after 11 weeks nearly 20 contacts with the company, they have still not paid me it back.
Review about: Discounted Sunglasses
Incredible
There are various types of disposable sunglasses that are dispensed to patients after receiving mydriatic eye drops during eye examinations and the lenses of these polarized sunglasses can reduce the glare reflected at some angles off shiny non-metallic surfaces, such as water and in turn, allow wearers to see into water when only surface glare would otherwise be seen, and eliminate glare from a road surface when driving into the sun. Sunglasses have now since gone into sales widely. Discountedsunglassesis an online store that focuses on the sale of several types of sunglasses.
Discountedsunglasses offers glasses from such brands as Ray-Ban, Oakley, Versace, Persol, Gucci, Prada and more. Customers are made to shop according to their budget with the classification of their glasses into a price range store. They offer such glasses as Men's Sunglasses, Women's Sunglasses, Kids Sunglasses, Men's Prescription Glasses, Women's Prescription Glasses, Kids Prescription Glasses, Men's Snow Goggles, Women's Snow Goggles, Kids Snow Goggles. Discountedsunglasses offer a free delivery service within the UK for order more than £50.Review about: Not In The Dog House
Dog ice cream and yogurt
Order placed, didn’t receive. Chased up order I was told there was a delay, still nothing. Requested a refund on 15th June and again still nothing!!
DO NOT BUY FROM HERE, CUSTOMER SERVICE IS APPALLING!Can’t believe i didn’t read the reviews first. Totally kicking myself. They sent me some ice cream on Monday after saying it was out of stock for over a week. It arrived today (Thurs) so you can imagine it’s arrived defrosted!
Review about: Not In The Dog House
Arctic Snuggle Dog Bed
If I could rate this company '0' I would!
I ordered a dog bed in May 21 - an item which was shown as 'in stock' on their website.
Several weeks on my order had still not shipped and NITDH could not give me a date when it would. At this point I asked them to cancel the order and refund my money (this was 9th June 21).
I still have not received my money (taken within seconds when placing the order!).
I really don't know what to do next as they keep telling me the refund has been 'issued' but 'not actually processed'!! This is now a month on!
I really wish I had done my research and read the reviews before placing the order in the first place but PLEASE if you read this, think VERY CAREFULLY before ordering from this company.Ring your bank and tell them you need to claim money back from a company that have ripped you off online through the bank CHARGEBACK scheme and you will get all your money back
Review about: Gardening Express
Numerous Plants
This would have been a 0 Star if it was available! Their service isn't just poor, it is almost non-existent. I purchased some plants with 2 separate orders back in April, they arrived in May & June, sadly, some plants were dead. I wrote to them with photo’s immediately and respectfully requested replacement plants. Nothing to date has arrived and neither have I received a reimbursement. I have subsequently written to them numerous times, without a response, except for once when they said to 'bear with them during this difficult (COVID) period and that someone would be in contact with me soon'. 6 months after that initial contact, I still haven't had either replacement plants, or reimbursement. What is most irritating is that they state on their website that they are working with significantly reduced staffing (COVID) and to please be patient. But they are still able to advertise a full list of available plants for sale by way of their regular sales emails! Yes, the plants received that weren't dead have flourished, but Garden Express's customer service in the event of a problem is appalling. Buy from them at your peril.
Review about: Shaw Academy
Free 4 week online class/ online app
Great course, full of information, and clearly taught
So far so good!
I have started doing Graphic Design, the course is well laid out and I like the accountability of doing it, and reminders they send. However what I find totally dishonest of Shaw Academy is the fact that you have to pay £40 for each module toolkit and £40 for each e-certificate for each module - which makes it unaffordable. I was offered a £50 "lifetime" membership but then I got a call saying it's not really lifetime, it's 1 year and it cost £199 really since they will include toolkits and certificates. What?? So dear Shaw Academy creators, my suggestion for improvement is BE TRANSPARENT with your prices before you advertise your courses as free or lifetime. I do not deny the quality of the course but I'd rather know the full fee (including toolkits/certificate) BEFORE I join. thank you.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up for the Diploma Digital Marketing.
As a marketing professional of 20 years, digital marketing is something that I have really taught myself over the past 10 years, and I wanted to undertake a more formal training to properly understand the academic theory behind the subject.
The first session was quick paced and content rich. I found the chatbot really offputting with its cheerleader style encouragements everytime I responded to a question.
The final challenge was tricky as it lacked real context - maybe I'm missing something. I will persevere.
Not impressed by the onslaught of emails that I have recieved from Shaw - it's just too much. I've signed up for the programme and I take responsibility to show up - I don't need 6 emails to reming me and another 4 requesting me to give feedback.I just started my free excel online classes and I don't want to my comment yet. but so far its very interesting
Even after I have premium membership, I will have to pay for the e certificate, as I am having premium membership I would like to have some discounts on the same
A lot of emails flooding in.. would have liked to have spoken to someone first re the course as had a few questions. Received an email saying this was your way of communication which I find very impersonal.
Thanks to persistence of the introductory process, I did attend the first class and was glad that I had. I know that time invested in learning is never wasted and I indeed came away with some key concepts that I had not known before, you can't put a price on that! I look forward to continuing the course and expect that my knowledge and experience will be enhanced.
Here i truly enjoyed the Shaw academy webinar.
Frankly speaking, I was never aware of any such Online Shaw Academy though I was aware of few existing ones, the popular ones in their respective.Here i truly enjoyed the Shaw academy webinar.

It's a great learning place, the educator is very knowledgable about their field and Shaw academy works hard to make sure your needs are being met! Love it! Would recommend to all my friends and family!!
I just started the class and I'm really impressed, there's also a recording so we can go back and watch. I can't wait to finish this class. Thumbs up to all the educators and thank you.

Nice course full of great information
The first was awesome - no ambiguity in language, engaging and relatable. Now, I'd sit and enjoy the ride! Hope it gets better each time.
It's amazing I like taking photos and I think this course gonna helpful to me thank you
This lessons are very interactive and very helpful. I fell in love with Graphics design again. Thanks Shaw academy
Excellent course ! I'm enjoying the methods that the teacher are using, during the class.
Bbery good tutorial
It is clear concise easy to follow, pleasant voice not overloaded with too much details. Current and relevant.
My first day of class was very engaging, informative and concise and am sure looking forward to my next session
It is a good beginning
I saw this Shaw Academy ad on facebook by chance. I am considering to change careers after this pandemic is over. And I wanted to have a thorough understanding and be able to use Excel, at least the basic ones, before jumping the ship. I love the flexibility as we are allowed to set dates or change it according to our preferences! This is awesome! I signed up for the 4 days free trial but for some reason my card got deducted when I enrolled my card. This makes me want to literally spend time and focus on the modules and take the courses seriously. LOL! Excited to see how this class will end.
Its being awesome to me taking part in shaw acedemy for a diploma course in excel i have being opportune to participated on free 4wks i learn a lot on excel thankyou
Great contents and this course is making me confident lessons after lessons .
I really enjoy the class but will like if the vedio can be available offline to get it download.
It is helpful ???? ,,
My second class was good just like the first one. Am sure that my third class will be more expository and captivating because I really want to know it all on Excel..enjoying the moment can't wait for my next class.
The slides are detailed and the lecturer explains very well, I am enjoying the lessons.

It's been great so far, full of information and nice examples
I have only done 2 classes so far yet I have learnt so Much!! The lessons are easy to understand and very informative. Keep up the good job!
I'm really impressed.......I got more than I thought.But I think, during the first class, introduction by seeing faces would be great.Thank you!
I like the courses, the information provided is helpful, however, the first modules for most courses are too basic. Also, I have experienced a couple of technical issues with the site. One course just disappeared from my course page. I have contacted support several times, but I got a ticket number that does not work when I click on it, and no ones seems gets back to me on this issue. The other issue I have is that when I reschedule my classes, I get a confirmation the class was rescheduled successfully, I block time out for the class, and when I am about to start, the class changes time without previous notice. I am unhappy with these two situations.
Definitely some interesting and useful content, but I received 9 emails in the past 5 hours alone. That's ridiculous. Granted, a few were reminders about a class this morning, but since he class started, I've received 6 marketing emails that essentially are "high pressure" "time is running out!" "the world will end and you won't advance in your business if you don't buy our special diploma!!!!" or "last chance" emails. Key takeaway for me here is that it's never truly the last chance to make a sale. You don't think your product is worth purchasing or you wouldn't feel the need for high pressure sales tactics (i.e. I won't buy it because it's so amazing, but rather because I'm under pressure from a ridiculous and meaningless countdown). All told, I'm glad I had the free trial so that I could get a sense for your content, but especially for how stupidly full my inbox would be every day if I continued to be part of your business model. No thanks.
I just finished class one, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the manner in which the instructor relayed the information. She broke it down into simple, yet concise points of information. Great class, and I am very glad to have come across this on Instagram!
Great opportunity to explore technically in this pandemic situation too

My level of expertise. Love that. I will review Web Slides and Lecture Notes before class next time. Morpheus is little distracting. Lecture already going a lightening pace. It's cool. I'll get used to it, Shaw. Thank you for the credits. Devoted to the Shaw Academy.
Info was clear, concise and short.
I received an email after stating that I was marked "absent"? Hopefully they can correct that asap.
Thanks,Just finished first lesson. Very interesting!
Great references for future goals.
Just had my first class today and really enjoyed it. The AI is amazing and posted my question to the class. I am still waiting for the answer. I do not have any negative comments to post. I have had a few online courses through my degrees but none are as interactive as this one is. Highly recommend
Some interesting facts came up on the first day
The course was well thought and was visually eye catching.
So far, so good. Till now your teaching is amazing, concise and clear.
learn a lot. from history to illustrator. love it
joined the first class of digital marketing. the lecture and description was very well done. content and coverage of topics was incredible.but i was not able to get my purchased tool kit. materials.
It's my first course and I can't wait to learn more about Financial Trading and Investment. Slides and readings have been prepare for review and once you missed a class you could watch a recording or even re-schedule so you could attend on your prefered time.
Great Course, Clear Understanding and good information
Review about: Shaw Academy
Web Development Diploma - 4-Week Free Trial
I signed up for the initial 4-week free trial and I was plesantly surprised with the quality. The videos are lecture style, as if you were at College, and there are many extra add-ons (paid) to help along the way.
They email you reminders for each class and encourage you to login ahead of time so you dont miss a class.
Overall, a very positive experience for the 4-week free trialReview about: Serenata Flowers
£39 of mixed flowers
Nothing like the photo
4 stems short
I’ve always used interflora but thought I’d give these a try - arrived at 7:00pm !
Absolutely nothing like interflora quality
Could have picked something better up from the local petrol station for my wife’s birthday on my way home and would have been cheaper better and in time for her birthday ????
I would have given zero stars if the rating would allowReview about: Giordano Wines
Wines and goodies
I ordered a month ago, have been chasing and chasing keep being advised that due to corovirus delays,yes appreciate that, but when trying to find out where my wine is you get very little or no response. Now told it is with Yodal, but checking with Yodal they have no record, just states waiting to be handed to them. Spoke on live chat this morning, no joy just stayed with Customs and we are out of Europe and in Brexit?
They were quick to take my money.Review about: Goalinn
Goalkeeper gloves
Beware scammers. Awful experience, have waited almost 3 weeks and have had nothing. Responses from their customer service don't address concerns and constantly fobbing me off and refuse refund. Avoid at all costs
You won’t ever get a refund so if 15 days have passed ring the bank and log fraudulent transaction and claim your money back under the CHARGEBACK scheme
