Review of Total Travel Protection


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

TTP easily rated 5 Star - Give it a try

The ease of the online quote process that led ultimately to the price that is comparably competitive is what quantifiably led to this 5 Star Rating.
TTP did however take some finding but find you I did and have told friends and family all about you!

Review of Yodel by InPost


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I expect more from a driver than…

I expect more from a driver than delivering and disappearing with little to no conversation with extremely disabled and elderly customers who cannot move or lift the parcels without further help

Hi Michael, I understand your disappointment that the driver could have been more helpful while delivering the parcel. That's unacceptable behaviour from the driver. We will share your feedback with our delivery team to ensure this will not happen again. I am sorry to hear about your experience so far. I would really like to have a look into this for you. Please could you email trustpilot@yodel.co.uk with the full name on the parcel, delivery address with postcode, contact & tracking number, along with a link to the review? Thank you, Yodel Team.

Harvey Water Softener Repair

Fear and trepidation ran through me as my Harvey Water Softener failed yet again!
One call to Aquasoft was immediately responded to by Stephen who with style and with a smile put it back together again and saved me an absolute fortune not having to renew it - yet!
Thank you Stephen and Aquasoft 🤗

Review of Virgin Experience Days


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Searching for a very special Present and then I found two : )

I was searching for a very special birthday present for a very special person and discovered not only the gift I had spotted elsewhere but a very nice combination of gifts wrapped together with Virgin Experience Days. When the thrill of the gifts have been experienced, I will feed back even more ...........

Review of DrinkSupermarket.com


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Every Wine Box Destroyed And Taped Together Again

My multiple boxes of wine were delivered on time as promised and at a very good price.
6 bottles of wine per box were shipped in bigger cardboard boxes that contained two boxes of wine (12 bottles) in each that were nicely sandwiched in bubble wrap for safe delivery.
So why only a 2 star rating?
Well I know this isn't going to diminish the quality and taste of the wine but I was really disappointed to find every single original wine box was in a filthy condition and was clearly a quantity of re-used original cardboard boxes that were broken open, crumpled and split that had needed to be selotaped back together to hold the six bottles in each. Now I think I can understand the odd box being like this, but it was every single box and begs the question why? Why had every box been ripped open without any thought for their final destination ...... to me!

Review of LifePoints


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Lifepoints Support Team Online Chat Service

Lifepoints undertook some background maintenance work last week that has caused one or two hiccups accessing the surveys. Inevitably this has brought about the need to pose one or two questions to the online Chat service that has responded quickly and efficiently with charm and good humour and is excellent representation of Lifepoints. Well done today Sophia and thank you.

Review of Dobbies Garden Centres

Embarrassing Birthday Offer - Dobbies Ashford

I was really disappointed to be embarrassed in front of other customers at the point of accepting a very nice hot drink and cake as a Birthday Celebratory offer from Dobbies at their cafe in the Ashford branch. In exchange for the Dobbies card that I presented I was told in no uncertain terms the drink prepared by one member of staff was refused to me by another member of staff, put simply that I couldn’t have the drink I ordered - a hot chocolate - because I was not entitled to the large drink only the regular version - even my offer to pay the difference - 30p - if I remember correctly was declined!
I found the incident petty and ridiculous and asked where on the ‘birthday celebratory card’ it stated the restriction …….. it was nowhere to be found!
Rather than escalate the embarrassment further I accepted the regular drink and cake without further fuss or embarrassment and chose to keep my store purchases to an absolute minimum on this visit!
Not a good advert or marketing offer from Dobbies on this occasion - what is this World of ours coming to!

A Worthy 5 Star Review for Charlie’s…

A Worthy 5 Star Review for Charlie’s who were fabulous with the online cost for and quick postal supply of 4 in 1 lawn feed packs for me that were between 20-30% more expensive in my local in store retailers!
We’ll done Charlie’s, keep those costs down and I’ll be back for more - and that’s a promise.

Review of TopCashback

Well Done Kayleigh

Well Done Kayleigh. You are a bright golden ray of sunshine on a cloudy day x
I was supposedly awarded £52.80 by Energylinx for switching energy last August and have been embroiled in a battle royal on the telephone and e-mail exchanges for many hours at a time with customer services of both Energylinx and Shell Energy to make the payment to TCB to turn it into a payable reward incentive for me for using this initiative 8 months ago!
Following my second request to TCB for help with this that was going nowhere with Energylinx, the wonderful Kayleigh TCB customer services rode over the hill with a beaming smile and terrific news that she will make this cashback payable.
Thank You TCB. No Thank You Energylinx!
Thank You Kayleigh, you not only deserve my 5 Star Award, but a promotion and a pay rise too!
Life's complicated enough at the moment and you have made it a whole lot easier.

Review of Energylinx


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Energized by Energylinx

I have been asked to voice my opinion far too soon, but from starting the change of my energy supplier through Energylinx, so far they have been very efficient and kept me informed that the process is underway and have made a moderate cashback offer that I trust they will honour after the switch has been processed. I had spent time looking at the switch through up to 11 comparison sites and because the offer was the same monthly estimate, I chose Energylinx based on previous experience and the cashback value that was better than the rest.

Review of Utilita


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Disappointed and want to leave as soon as possible

To date the customer service has been no service at all and to deny me any help and assistance and to refer me back to the company that has collapsed, that never respond to calls, e-mails and letters. Quite frankly right now my opinion is disappointed and want to leave as soon as I can.

Review of Eversmart Energy


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

The Worst Service I've Ever Experienced

The Customer Service from this company simply beggars belief!
I asked for an online means of giving my meter readings because the Eversmart Energy website - the old one - is really not that smart. It can not accept economy seven meter readings. Last June (YES 2018) I was assured this would soon be corrected! Every month for 12 months I have had that same assurance and guess what Eversmart has finally upgraded its website and guess what it does not accept economy seven readings either!
So every month I have to upgrade the website with the Electricity Day and Gas readings and then have to send them an e-mail with the readings again and my electricity Night reading ..... and guess what they hardly ever input them for me and so I have to put up with Estimate readings!
Don't get me started about them taking me off our contracted tariff for a far higher tariff without telling me and in breach of a contract agreement - it was going to cost me an eye watering excess of £420 if I hadn't threatened them with the ombudsman and legal action.
I could go on but it will upset my day even more. Sign up for a cheap deal if you want but don't expect a service just a supply!

Great Prices & Service at Picniq

I just happened on Piniq whilst trawling the internet for much better deals to take my girls to events in London (thats cost can very quickly mount up) and I was very pleasantly surprised with the ease to make my bookings, instant response for my tickets delivered to my e-mail address - I'm now very much looking forward to going to London for multiple events days out, with thanks to Picniq (oh and they even sent me some discounts offers into the bargain)

Review of SHOWER SEAL LTD


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Shower Seal has my seal of approval and so does my shower

Shower Seal provided exactly what my shower needed. The shower glass width fitting was matched perfectly and despite the water run off not being quite as wide as my 20 year old original, the new one works perfectly well. The length of seal supplied was certainly plenty long enough to be able to cut down the exact length needed but I couldn't help think if it was just a little bit longer, I could have had 2 seals for the price of 1. It seemed quite a waste of a section of the seal 'left over' that needed to be thrown out. The seal is sturdy and good quality.
