Commerececore seem to have a completely false online presence with lots of good reviews. I bought a speed radar device for my car. It doesn't work!
When I tried to take advantage of their 'guaranteed refund' I was stalled several times. Eventually they offered me a 25% refund which I declined. They then offered me a 50% refund with them saying it would save me the hassle of returning the device. I accepted that because by then I was fed up and just wanted to end it. Have now bought an OOONO from Amazon...it works fine!

Very professional from start to finish.
Two fitters were very smart in appearance, very friendly and efficient. Really pleased with the quality of the product. Very impressed by the showroom in Wickford.

Have tried just about every brand going but keep coming back to these as they are the most comfortable and lightweight to wear.

Good service and well packaged delivery. Only problem was that the box was too short for the tree which arrived with all the 'lollipop section' bent right over. Hoping it will eventually straighten out.

Very comfortable. Quick delivery.

Visited Southend KwikFit on Monday and left two new wheels to be fitted with new tyres; but had to wait until the next day for the tyres to come in. No problem, as we were told just pop in and it will only take five minutes to swap the wheels over. Arrived at 2.30pm and was told they were busy but would soon do the job. I waited almost two hours, sitting on a chair in a dirty, scruffy waiting area. Told twice that I'm next but still waited another half hour - watching a stream of other customers being dealt with for two hours! SLOW FIT

Sykes Cottages were very good to deal with and we have no complaints with them. We were disappointed with the lodge we rented in Norfolk.
We often visit Norfolk but this time my grandson and son preferred somewhere with a hot tub, which limited our relatively late booking.
It was quite a sunny week. The website photographs looked impressive but our first impressions were not good when we pulled up onto a very neglected frontage with weeds everywhere, compared to nearby lodges.
The heat hit us as we opened the front door, realising we had booked a very large 'portacabin' made of metal, with almost a wall of glass facing south. We rushed to open the sliding glass doors and were hit by an invasion of flies. We saw two fly-sprays, kindly left by the previous hirers, but we had to buy lots of those old fashioned sticky tapes to hang up everywhere, plus more fly spray. We had to spend the week using the doors like an 'airlock' - quickly shutting them on moving outside and back in. We used the effective air con quite a lock, marooned inside. On one side of the lodge we had lake areas, but no views of them, and on the other a field of cows. Walking around and found a tired and seemingly deserted water ski centre. We asked at the cafe/ bar near the centre of this large lodge site for milk but they said they had no shop. The nearest shop is several miles away.
The property was clean and well equipped but we found a broken glass in the cupboard and I had to refit a detached toilet seat lid. The dishwasher needed salt and rinse aid but they had none. Many of the venetian blinds, these on the small windows only, were damaged. There were only three place mats, necessary for the plastic table cloth, and only two wine glasses.
The TV Sky didn't work and all we could get was a very weak Netflix signal that kept buffering and freezing. The sound system took a while to work out how to use it - no visible instructions. (In my work I advise people on all everyday technical useage)
No information about the cooker or about tourism in the area. The floors all creaked and all the wooden doors squeaked. No hooks for coats on any doors. The huge clock on the wall didn't work. The bed for the 4+2 accom. is in the corner of this open plan lodge, with no separate facilities. It was very sunny all week but there was no awning or large shade on the decking area. The large expanse of glass meant that the seating area of the lodge was very hot. We went out each day.
Sandringham was a great day out, with lots to see to please most ages.

We ran into a problem with our booking - my fault. The office staff were very friendly and helpful. They sorted it out for me and kept me informed.

The company took great care with me to get the details right on the badge before going ahead. Very happy with the final result. Good Quality and prompt service. Very easy to contact, and understand, over the phone.

Very friendly staff make you feel comfortable , valued and welcome. Facilities are excellent.
Only problem is that I am a weak swimmer and the slow lane in the pool is down the middle of the pool; I find it difficult to reach it from the steps, having to get across the fast and medium lanes with their lane barriers.

Engineer was punctual and telephoned ahead. He was competent, polite and friendly. He gave clear, good advice.

We ordered flowers for friends, to arrive on Sunday 4th December, as they promised.
They didn't arrive and as far as we know they have still not been delivered on Monday 5th December. You can only email the company and they say 24 hours to reply! They do not provide a telephone number.

I don't need to know what the weather is like when I look out of the window. I want to know what it will be like later in the day, or later in the week.
Often I check the Met Office first thing and it says one thing; then half an hour later it says something completely different. At 9.15am this morning it said it wasn't going to rain until the afternoon. Half an hour later it said it was raining. I could see this out of my window! Often the BBC is more accurate in our area of Essex.

Very clean establishment. Friendly staff who really knew what they were talking about. Didn't feel rushed and felt staff were confident in helping me.

The items were confirmed as being in stock and available for delivery. We decided to pay £7 for next day delivery. The time slot arrangement worked very well and the delivery came within the advised time, which was good. However, only half the order was delivered with no information as to why. I had to phone John Lewis Customer Service - who don't know either. Told we should get an email next week to explain!

Classic Cottages thought of everything for us and gave us loads of information. They were very quick to respond to any query and we particularly liked their link to the ferry bookings for The Isle of Wight.

The book we ordered was, as promised, in excellent condition. The delivery was in good time. Thankyou.

I prefer something a bit more discreet than the way 'Pants & Sock' send out their orders for men.
A lurid pink box with "A package for your package" in large letters on the box was not appreciated.

Very easy to use their online site and was able to get a much cheaper quote by keeping thing online only.
