Review of Nectar Sleep


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Very disappointed

We have had a nectar mattress for 4 years when it started to sag. Contacted nectar and they sent a technician to inspect it. I must say if it wasn’t so concerning it would have been laughable. He wrote his report and nectar sent me a copy. He did what was laughingly called a ‘pressure’ test, this consisted of placing his hand on the mattress, and then a ‘lay’ test where he laid on the bed. Very scientific I must say, and we were told the mattress is within industry standards,
How do they get there when it was such a subjective so called test. Very disappointed we feel we were just fobbed off, it would have been more honest if they’d just stated sorry you’ll just have to get on with it.

Hi Brian, thanks for taking the time to leave an honest review. We apologise for any frustration caused by the outcome of your mattress inspection. The testing carried out during the inspection is to an industry standard to determine and identify any possible faults against what would be classed as natural settlement.
Should you wish to discuss the findings in more depth please feel free to reach out to our support team at hello@nectarsleep.co.uk and we will be happy to assist wherever possible.

I have been trying to connect customer…

I have been trying to connect customer service for 4 yes 4 days every time you ring it rings then goes to engage signal. I put my voucher reference no. in and get a message ‘we are sorry there is a problem with this voucher contract customer service’ (you lose the will to live trying that). The AI chat bot is worse than useless whoever set it up has very little intelligence, artificial or otherwise. This company is a disgrace

Review of 1st CENTRAL Insurance


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Avoid at all cost !

Avoid at all cost !
Bought my car insurance and I had inadvertently put an accident date as 2020 when it should have been 2021
These crooks wanted to charge me over £240 just to change the date. I have now cancelled the policy and been charge £132 for 17 days cover + charges. Very expensive lesson learned. Fail to understand how trustpilot gives them 4stars when other site tell the truth about all their crooked practices and rip off charges.

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry to lose you as a customer.

All details are taken into account when calculating the price of your policy. If your details are found to be incorrect, we need to update them in order to ensure your cover is valid and any changes can affect the price of the policy we can offer. This includes the date of any claims or accidents you may have had.
This change created the additional premium which is how much the policy would have cost you with the correct information at the start, plus the admin fee.

We're sorry you chose to cancel. As you cancelled outside of the 14 day cooling off period, you would be charged the cancellation fee, as well as the arrangement fee and cost for 17 days on cover, as per our terms and conditions. These can be found in your Welcome pack policy documents, from when you took out the policy.
We have attached a FAQ link to explain these. https://www.1stcentralinsurance.com/legal-information/important-information

Thank you again for your feedback which we'll use to help improve our products and services.

This is now the worst catch up service on TV
Why is it when tv companies change things in invariably gets worse, but this time it’s beyond a joke. It truly is awful. Why don’t you a minus category because one star is astronomically high.

OK once they answer the phone but I have been trying since 9am it’s now 4:45pm recorded message states
“ your message is important to us” obviously it’s not or they would have a decent customer service response

Review of CoastWaterSports

Dave at coastwater is one of the most helpful & genuine people I have ever dealt with. I was purchasing a pair of winter dinghy gloves for my granddaughter and wasn't sure of her size as I couldn't measure as she is away at uni. Dave suggested a size with the proviso that he would change them if necessary. When I returned them for a larger pair he changed them, without a charge for the larger size nor a charge for postage. Absolutely top notch service.
Don't bother shopping around you won't get better than this company. Brian Desmond
