Review of QVC UK

TOO MANY EMAILS

Made my first purchase for many years. The purchase process was very straightforward and I received the product in good time and is of good quality. The downside of using this seller is the fact that I have since been berated with emails from QVC trying to sell all sorts of tat which I have no intention of buying. The consequence is that I will have to block the emails from QVC. Once a week is fine but three or four a day is far too much,

Review of Sainsbury's


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Quality

Sainsbury is my go to supermarket mainly because it is closest to us that is not to say that I don’t use others ie Morrisons and occasionally Lidl. I go to Sainsbury first for the range and quality of products. There are a few items they do not offer and services they do not offer eg a pharmacy in which case I go to Morrisons where the items that I want are available plus they have a pharmacy and Boots is also available nearby.

In my option, by and large the quality of Sainsbury products is first class.

Good Quality

One of my go to places to shop for groceries. By and large they are able to supply most of my needs. The store is starting to show its age a little but nevertheless the quality of produce is what I would expect. I do price match against Morrisons and do some shopping there and I find that they are broadly the same. The bonus for me is that Sainsbury’s is somewhat closer and I can be at the store in about 10 minutes!

COULD BE IMPROVED

Sainsburys is one of my usual grocers (the other being Morrisons) usually because it is somewhat closer to my home and because it stocks a couple of products which Morrisons does not. In general, the parking is sufficient although there are no special bays for old people which are close to the door as there are for young mothers with children!

The store (Pound Lane, Norwich) is generally well laid out with groceries straight in front with household off to the left and with a large section for women and childrens clothing, Tucked away in a small corner is a very small area of mens clothing which offers very little.

The produce section of the store is generally well stocked with an array of items which in my view are somewhat over-elaborate but I assume are designed to cater for traditional as well as the more exotic tastes! I have generally found very little to complain about as far as quality is concerned. What does let the store down is it's generally run down appearance. Unlike Morrisons, the delicatessen has been totally removed and you have to make do with pre packed produce. The in-store chemist closed some time ago and has not been replaced leaving customers to find an alternative elsewhere. As you approach the end of your shop, you are confronted by a large number of unstaffed checkouts which have been blocked off by placing many large bottled products in front of them giving the impression of a store which is being run down. This impression is reinforced by the fact that the former cafeteria - which has been closed for any number of years - has just been left vacant and unused.

I do not interact with staff very often as I use the self serve checkouts but have always found them to be ready to help.

Speaking honestly, the store needs a manager who is prepared to make some big improvements to what could be a very good store.

Review of Number1Plates


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

NICE PLATES

I rarely buy from companies that mail drop me but I was interested in this company because they offered custom shaped number plates which was precisely what I had wanted for my Jaguar S type, so I ordered a pair of plates.

I was kept informed of progress of my order and the new plates arrived promptly via 'Evri'. They were well packed looked good once on the car. On the whole, a good service - if a little pricey.

Product good - delivery time slow

Delivery time is really slow (was starting to think it would not arrive). On limited use, the product seems to work as expected. I do think that the price is rather excessive for such a small bottle.

Review of AAB Cars


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

PROMPT AND COURTEOUS SERVICE

Not the first time I have sold a car to a service like aabcars. On both occasions they have provided a very good service. The aab service was a few whiskers ahead on a couple of points. First it was a more friendly service right from the initial contact right up to payment for and collection of the car. Second, aab were totally up front with their offer price as opposed to the other company which managed to chip me several hundred pounds for very, very minor imperfections. The other company promised to collect with a few days which turned into two weeks, On the other hand, aab made their offer on a Saturday and the car was collected on Thursday - excellent in my view. Would I sell to aab again? - most certainly. Louis and Nick were both friendly and courteous and I would recommend their company to anyone reding this.

A LET DOWN

I purchased an additional battery for my pole hedge cutter and within a few days, the cutter itself decided to give up working. So needless to say, I am not impressed as this is the second time that a product by this company has failed me when they have not been all that old. So I am now turning to other companies for better quality products

Review of Dreams


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

NEW MATTRESS EXPERIENCE

I was greeted by Daniel, who was very easy to talk to and listened carefully to my requirements for a replacement mattress. He ascertained my needs by a clever piece of technology called sleepwatch which identified appropriate products for me to try. He fully explained the different types of mattress and showed me products which he felt would fulfil my needs. I was given a pillow and allowed to try all the available options. During the process I was offered refreshment and once I had made a selection, he went through all the paperwork to make sure that all was satisfactory for me. Based on my experience, I would happily recommend 'Dreams'. Thank you Daniel.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very useful tool

I stumbled upon Car gurus by accident and it showed me the car that I wanted to find. I left a note to the dealer and they kindly provide a walk round video which confirmed that it was what I wanted.

A very straightforward process and would suggest that you try it. I would use again in the right circumstances. Thanks

PATIO CLEANER - POOR BATTERY LIFE

Purchased the RY18PCA -patio cleaner. Easy enough to assemble and is fairly easy to use. The wheel housing does get stuffed op with debris very quickly. My biggest complaint is the very short battery life. I reckon that it lasted about 25 minutes - which is in my opinion quite short

Hello Mr Claridge,

Thank you for taking the time to write your review concerning your patio cleaner. I would suggest you might require a bigger ONE + battery as you will receive longer runtime.

We appreciate your honest feedback, and we hope that we can surpass your expectations in the future.

Kind Regards,

Review of Performance Direct

DISAPPOINTING END

I have used this company for about 3 years for one of my cars and had found them to be very good and was surprised at last renewal when without prompting. they found me a cheaper alternative. I recently changed the insured car from a 3.2 litre Jaguar to a 1.8 litre Vauxhall and was surprised to hear that the underwriter would not insure the car so I had to accept that the policy would be cancelled with a loss of premium. They offered to set up an entirely new policy at a very high cost which surprised me. I refused and have since found a policy for over £120 less. Enough said! Very disappointing end to what had been quite a satisfactory business arrangement.

Worth Using

On the whole, Gumtree has worked very well for me. I have bought and sold on the site and it has usually been a success. You do get the odd nutcase but they are few and far between. The best thing is that it is free!
