I used to pay by the mile for my insurance but this years quote was a wee bit out there there estimated 1500 miles would cost me just shy of £300 which i thought was a lot for 1500 miles so turned to the meerkat for some quotes and up popped quote me happy with an excellent price which included a lot more benefits than pay by the mile for a slightly more money 1 am not restricted to mileage, and not the times I can drive, quote me happy was very simple to set up took me around five minutes and everything was sent to my in box they checked everything with my old insurance so no faffing about getting this and that ie no claims bonus confirmation, they did the leg work so for a few pounds more I am not restricted to mileage or times I can just get in and go anywhere I choose and at anytime I choose. I recommend quote me happy for reasonable pricing and the added extras for free, plus the legwork contracting my old insurance 😀 happy chappie

I have used Payl8r on three occasions and they have enabled me to buy the items I have longed for yes I could have saved but by the time I had saved the money the goods would be gone as BSA only make a run of X amount and Payl8r were there to help me purchase the goods, I highly recommend Payl8r and will use them again next time I find a rarety excellent company who make things easy, very easy 😀

A great all round company with great prices, high end motorcycle gear often far cheaper than anywhere else win win. A good quality shark evo and two pair of boots i was going to try them on and send a pair back but both were comfortable so decided to keep them both HA. and all for just over £300 boots were Sidi waterproof and on sale again win win plus every time you shop you get points yes very happy with this company

Never ever had a problem with DPD always polite and friendly on time great company

O my i must have drove there sales people up the wall with my persistent can we do a deal on postage, I thought each item carried a £10 delivery fee, but I got it totally wrong buy 1 tis a £10 buy 6 it's still £10 spend over £140 it's free 😉 but they were very very polite with me and eventually I got it, i can see there faces now thank God the penny as dropped. I know have my full set of Hohner 20 specials and at an incredible price thank you all at thomann for putting up with the crazy brit, now to start on the Hohner blues harp and thomann do an excellent price on them as well. I just wish I had discovered Thomann earlier I would have saved a fortune on my special 20s hey ho we live and learn. Thomann for all my harmonicas from now on. Sorry I drove you all stir crazy with my pointless emails

Been with drip hacks for many years now, whether you spend a little or a lot the goods are always spot on each flavour they make is as good as the last batch they made, customer service is second to none I go nowhere else no need to great flavour great price win win

I have to say I don't normally have a problem with DPD except today 12/02/25 went to bobo on the 11th with DPD saying it had my parcel happy chappie it will be here on the 12th woke this morning on the 12th checked my phone, your parcel as been delayed due to a problem in your area, so checked the cameras on the M60 M62 no hold ups there checked my phone for problems in Middleton whitefield surrounding areas just the usal rush hour traffic checked my DPD app it said my parcel was at the Middleton depot but due to the the problems in my area my parcels had been delayed, so I took the boy a walk in the park knowing there was no problems in the area whatsoever. So it's getting to niggle me now so goes to contact them saying there is no problems in my area so what's happening to my parcel there chat bot says hang on while I check your parcel details and sure enough it comes back with your parcel is at our Middleton depot BUT DUE TO PROBLEMS IN YOUR AREA WE CAN NOT DELIVER? So I writes back and says no problems whatsoever in my area 😒 Mr chat bot sticks me in a queue of 10 looks like they are all at it were is my parcel and why are DPD lieing saying there is a problem in my area when there isn't after ten min of waiting the queue was still at 10 sod it i thought i will drive to mid and pick it up much simpler than waiting in a queue. So checks my app low and behold my parcel is showing Hinckley chat bot says Middleton and it said Middleton on the app this morning so do I go to Middleton to be told my parcel is still in Hinckley bit you bloody robot 🤖 thingy says its in Middleton, all DPD is doing is telling LIE AFTER LIE i could of picked it up today 5 minutes in the car but because DPD can not tell the bloody truth I don't know were my parcel is hence this one star review. NO PROBLEMS IN MY AREA CHAT BOT SAYS MIDDLETON TRACKING SAYS IT WAS IN MIDDLETON THIS MORNING NOW ITS SAYING HINCKLEY AGAIN so WERE IS MY PARCEL THEN LIE AFTER LIE

Yet again parcel force let me down what is the point of 48 hours tracked when they can not deliver on there 48 hour promise my parcels should have been here fri yet when I track them they have been sat in the Middleton depot since Thursday 02/01/25 they should have delivered fri the 3rd but now have to wait till Mon the 6th/01/25, yes I know we have been exceptionally busy over the Christmas new year period in otherwords all the drivers were still over the limit so we just stopped all deliveries, perhaps they should name there 48hour delivery to 96 hour delivery, because they don't deliver 48 over the weekend only Mon to fri, not my problem you been busy over Xmas new year pull your fingers out your arse and do the job

I have tried lots and lots of vendors, then around 10 years ago maybe longer I came upon drip hacks a fledgling company and thought let's give them a try, I did not order a lot just incase, there was no need to worry the products were spot on as was the consistency, what I also like is if you send feedback they always reply and more often than not within a couple of hours, I once moaned about some of the goods being to sweet and it was killing my coils the taste was amazing it was great if you were a builder but at 66 I just could not get my head around it ohms law plus the eye sight failing, so I bought an aspire veynom at least you get 5 coils for a tenner, but the valyrian twelve quid for two so it could work out pretty expensive.
So what do they do, just because I moaned about one particular brew (i call it a brew because you have to leave it to steep just like a T bag) they send me a little bottle of sweetener with precise instructions on how to use it, now how many other vendors would do that errr none, so like I say drip hacks are simply the best and I hope to be with them for many years to come bit finicky at my age lmao 🤣 keep up the excellent work.
One very grateful customer

Spot on as usal, friendly driver even appollagies for waking me up have never had a problem with dpd always on time and go that extra mile, a great friendly service

Always happy with richer sounds but it seems they don't stock headshells I wanted the ortofon SH-4 to go with my ortofon bronze which I had purchased through richer sounds, it seems they carry no stock, they don't advertise any type of head shell 😢 so I had to bite the bullet and found an open box at Joe Audio £39 it arrived the same day as my bronze cartridge and I was able to take them to richer sounds prestwich were the Grand wizard Andy is servicing my 47 year old Technics 1710 that I bought myself as an 18th birthday present in 1978, Andy as no problem in setting it all up to which I am grateful for, I can do it myself but hey let the pro do it he knows his stuff to the letter, it was him that sorted me out with the correct speakers to go with my Zensor 7s which I also purchased from richer sounds many moons a go and still giving me excellent service and sound, I did think about upgrading to either oberon or take the big plunge and get the opticon, the advice was don't fix what's not broke why spend 1000s when your Zensors are barely run in, you see great advice from a great company win win in it, and after reading some of the reviews on the oberon it seems the zensor 7s are the better speaker than the oberon 1s 2s and 5s so yes saves me a k or two, and that's what you get from Richer sounds good honest advice everything I own that is sound related came from Richer sounds the speakers 7.1 set up the Av that controls it all and the work that Andys carried out on my turntable should last another 47 years, lol I would love to be here to see that but very much doubt it, and it all this sound advice and price matching, or beating, keeps me going back to Richer sounds were I will be going for many years to come, if there was one thing I could change that would be you sell everything sound so please stock everything sound ie headshells so I can mount my ortofon cartridges on ortofon headshells, I mean you don't have to carry the stock like you don't actually stock the cartridges they came from ortofon so I got my Alteco speakers first then later came my cartridges only a day later I did not mind because I had orderd late Fri I got a call from tele sales mon and was asked could the cartridge be sent direct from ortofon as you don't actually carry the stock so if you can do that with cartridges then surely you could advertise headshells as well and have them delivered direct from the manufacturer at least the buyer would know they are getting a 100% genuine headshell because when you go to selling platforms you just don't know what you are getting as there are lots and lots of fake out there they look the part until you set it up and the sound is terrible and I have lost my hard earned money, so please please please advertise some great headshells then have them sent direct from the manufacturer at the very least then we know what we are getting I look forwards to scouring the Richer sounds web site and hope this as not fell on deaf ears because when I buy a new cartridge I like to marry them up with the correct headshell, I don't believe in swapping cartridges about one cartridge one headshell.

goods arrived on time as always John the delivery driver takes a photo of the goods then lifts them back up for me as he knows i have trouble bending and if it's heavy he carries it in for me.

I have had no problems whatsoever with delivery the problem I have is for a toilet roll that is 3 ply it's very very thin how the company can state this very very thin roll is 3 ply is beyond me then we come to the amount on the roll, I am going through 3 times thd amount I would normally use, so there is not a lot on a roll, and I also purchased kitchen roll and that really is a joke not even ten inch square again flying through it the aldi basic brand is far superior o well tried both and I will not be purchasing any more that's for sure.

Drip Hacks is the way I have been dealing with them for years I have no need to go anywhere else. all there vape products are spot on, from the liquid to the hardware 100% genuine and they are always inventing new flavours, they have just added there crystalize vape liquid extra strong flavours for the pod range if you not tried it give it ago really sharp bang on E Liquid 👍 👏

It's me again just had another rifle delivery 02/05/24 my BSA R12 CLX Regulated with the usal efficency of range&country, I phoned to ask for advice should I get the weihrauch or BSA the impartial advice came both are very good rifles some say the weihrauch as the edge on Bsa and others say the opposite, this was Lawrence by the way I already own the R10 thumb hole and that as been a fantastic rifle and Peter delivered that around a month ago black pepper laminate but in those few weeks I only missed the target once at that was zeroing since then I have had it on the range and pest control never missed I thought ok R12 CLX it is then side leaver not bolt action and in walnut. And belive me I was not disappointed I spent the first 20 minutes admiring it and thinking it's worth every penny I thank you all at Range&country for the advice impartial as it was will I ever own a weihrauch of course I will already admiring one the HW 110 laminate stock but until the funds are raised I will be quite happily play and use the 6 pcp rifles I already own each one a gem in its own right, I was warned about the pcp bug, well it's well in truly bitten me.
Thank you all at Range&country see one of you soon 🙏 with a weihrauch in hand

A very good family run business that does store to door delivery, what more could you want, Peter Lawrence callum and Sam are all very knowledgeable in the wares they sell ie rifles guns and all that is associated with them sights ammo anything you can think of Range&country will have it, and if they have not very rare, they will get it, I can honestly say the guys have become more like friends always ready to listen and offer really good sound advice if needed, I bought a remington warhawk in jan 2024 and it was delivered the same week by Callum although he had driven 2.5 hours he was very willing to talk to the old man giving good advice, telling me they had there own outdoor range (very impressive) then we got to talking about pcp rifles and pistols, well I thought a bit expensive having to buy filling tanks and all that goes with it, infact all you need is a stirrup pump a high out put one 300 bar £99 I didn't go that way I bought myself a hatsan flash B grade the box was damaged again callum delivered it same week I bought it, we had a bit of a chin wag and he went on his way I unpacked the rifle a small hole in the box the rifle was in a fantastic new condition not a mark to be found fully charged ready to go 😉 I could not wait read the instructions loaded both mags and plinked away in the garden.
Well, the bug had bitten me I have bought another four pcp rifles since and all delivered the same week of purchase all have been outstanding and I have my eye on another two and I don't see it stopping there my friend said why do you need so many 🙃 I don't I replied I just like owning them, I go to my local range every week and take two different rifles just so they all get fired if you want to get into pcp but are unsure then go for the kral nish everything you need rifle sights pump all you need are pellets, a cracking rifle it is. Before I go Peter and Lawrence test fire every single rifle that comes through there shop door and give a honest review on there u tube channel Range&country reviews some times comical but it's always honest likes dislikes warts and all great people great shop you will have to go a long way to find one this good 👍

Money going out here and there was doing my.head in so plumbed for a consolidation loan, totted everything up and went to plata because the bank said no, a very easy process to fill in there loan form and the whole thing took very little time pressed the applying button and around 30 seconds later I was accepted this was around 2.45 pm and the money landed in my bank account 3.30pm paid everything off and still had 1k to play with more than happy you just need to make sure you can make the repayments doing things this way I save a couple of hundred a month one happy chappie

I have a few air rifles but felt the need for something slightly different, so I went for the remington war hawk fixed barrel rifled and fitted with several safety systems so you don't loose a finger or thumb.
So I went to my go to rifle shop only to find out it closed two years ago 🙃 o dear. So I started searching online and not many places would do delivery from store to door, then I came across Range&country reasonable with prices and very approachable, so I went ahead and orderd the remington war hawk and a good selection of pellets .177 all my others rifles are .22 I paid my dues and noticed I had missed this weeks delivery slot (my life story you just missed it) I got a call from range&country 2 hours after ordering and a very polite person introduced them self's high I am Callum (great name that) see you Thursday around 1830 ok I says thinking next Thursday, I orderd the rifle 14th February 2024, at just gone 1830 15th February I gets a knock at the door 🚪 opens it young man stood there am like ye (I just got out the shower) Hi I am Callum ( am thinking Callum who) 🤔 Range&country what who am bewildered must be and age thing, and the look on his face said it all (this guy is away with the fairy's) then he says I got your rifle (only then does the penny drop) O hi ya I thought it was next week you were coming any how he says I had a couple of delivery's this way and sneaked you in, ice broken he brings my goods checked my I D and started chatting considering he as drove fron Lincolnshire he was quite happy to chat and offer me a wealth of information, about springers pcp and gas rams a really nice guy very polite (your parents
have done a great job) 👍 so the rifle was orderd on the 14th of Feb delivered on the 15th that was fast and I am happy with my new rifle and all the info given I noticed today that the rifle had been chronographed and checked over making sure it was good to go all dated and signed off by callum him self its putting out 10.9 foot pound that should rise to around 11.5 when I have put a lot of lead through the barrel as it's still very tight, I am now thinking about pcp sub 12 and gas ram and I know 100% were I will be buying Range&country and I will probably make a day of it by driving down to Lincolnshire well I really need to get out more, and I appollagies Callum but you caught me on the hop.i should have made you a brew of choice before you went back home.
A great company to deal with nothing is of the cards be it a small enquiry or you want to know the in and outs of the cats bum they are only to happy to help.
Thank you all at Range&country a truly credible company.

I have been using Amazon for a number of years and rarely had a problem and when I did its normally solved in a timely manner. But this one takes the biscuit I orderd a new angle grinder and a new circular saw dewalt sold by amazon sarl normally if its sold by amazon its next day but as I Hit the button I noticed it was a 3 day delivery arriving today Feb 8th again no bigie as I don't need the tools till the 9th so carried on and true to there word they both arrived one by DPD and the other royal mail which made me think 🤔 so I looked at the postage label my address then the senders address.
Well low and behold senders' address was amazon returns wharehouse Fife well the cheekie devil's (not the words I want to use) are selling returned goods as new went back to the adverts it dont say nothing about these power tools being sold as returned or second hand which is what they are in law the tools do look OK but why should I pay top dollar for a tool that as been handled possibly used then cleaned so complained to customer service who said don't worry send them back we will refund you all well and good but what about tomorrow's job and more to the point why are amazon passing returned goods as new naughty naughty phone went dead tried to ring back and evertime I did they just rejected the call. Time to involve trading standards lots of screen shots of the adverts taken and I think I will also contact the BBC rip of Britain 🇬🇧 they like stuff like this Amazon never will I buy from you again as you are deceitful and fundamentally dishonest
