Poor handling of package

Arrived in time slot advised. However, driver dropped parcel from a height of 8 - 10 inches on the edge of the front door threshold despite the boxveing marked fragile. Let's hope the contents are not damaged ......

Review of Drivethedeal


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great service and a fantastic deal

Purchased a new Skoda Karoq from new unregistered stock via Drivethedeal. The dealer was a fair distance away but as free delivery was included this wasn't an issue and having checked that the dealer was who they said they were, the purchase proceeded very smoothly with all "paperwork" being completed online and the car being delivered within the 10-14 days initially indicated.

Drivethedeal themselves contacted me promptly once I'd made my initial enquiry, provided the finance quote from the dealer and followed up to make sure all OK once the deal was done.

All in all very happy with both DTD and the dealer and wouldn't hesitate to use again.

Distance purchase of new car

Kye was very helpful and managed the whole process of buying remotely in a friendly and efficient manner, while communicating in good time.

Compliment slips

We created personal compliment slips for my mother using the online tools. Very easy to do and a great choice of backgrounds, fonts, paper etc. Once the design was done, ordering was straight forward and delivery in good time. We're very happy with the finished product.

Review of CTD Tiles


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great product and service

We're refitting our en-suite and so I visited the Tovil (Maidstone) store for ideas and samples. Both members of staff were helpful and friendly without being pushy and sorted the samples quickly for me.

Having got the tiles home, we decided to go for one of those selected but in a different colour. Due to there being a 20% sale on and not being able to get back to the store before the offer was finished, we ordered online and the tiles were delivered when promised.

The ensuite was tiled last week and they look stunning, couldn't be more pleased.

Very easy to use

Very easy to use, reliable service, keeps me well informed as to progress of order. Only minor gripe is that the change I tried to make to my order reminder will not save so I get reminders at the wrong time.

Excellent all round

Good choice of cake slices, perfect for a birthday celebration. Delivered frozen the day before by DPD in a designated time slot and defrosted overnight in the fridge. All very tasty and something different to a traditional cake.

Great service

Easy to use and reliable so far - certainly beats the queuing and poor service at local pharmacies.

Slightly misleading

Very easy to use as always but one star knocked off for advertising a low £25 deposit when the deposit required on booking was £75.

Excellent as always

Our regular delivery driver (Clint I believe his name is) is always friendly, cheerful and polite and has been helpful when the need arose. Can't fault him.

Review of Minerva


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Would not buy again

Having obtained the paper swatches we took them to Homebase to see how they compared to physical samples. There was no sample for the Copper Fleck which was the one we wanted but three other swatches looked just like the real thing so we thought we would be OK.

Unfortunately we were wrong, the depth of colour in the copper flecks is missing, very pale by comparision to the swatch and we got nowhere near the density of copper fleck by area in the worktop provided. In addition, the underlying cream colour is several shades lighter than the swatch which meant rethinking our wall tiles.

I would agree with comments on here about marking and staining. My wife washed the cast iron tops to the hob gas burners and put them on the worktop which left rusty ring marks which would not wipe or polish off even using the care kit. The fitters ended up sanding them out. Pulling a cordless kettle base (with rubber pads for feet) marked the surface - that had to be buffed out with an abrasive pad.

It looks nice but having bought this on personal recommendation I would do my own research next time around and would look at a different product.

Great service in difficult times

Due to retail being shut we ordered free samples from the website, made our choice and then purchased over the phone. We got good advice about quantities of underlay and gripper rod needed for our room and the measurements we had taken for the carpet itself were checked and then confirmed at the end, when fitting was booked too. All in all an easy process and one which gave us confidence that we had the right amounts without being oversold.

Review of Swale Heating

Great service

We had a broken boiler during freezing weather which needed replacing. It took 27 hours from picking the phone up to Swale Heating at 9 on a Monday morning to lunchtime on Tuesday to have the survey completed, price agreed and boiler fitted. Great service and all the staff at every point of contact were friendly, professional and cheerful.

Excellent all round.

Efficient ordering process, good price and delivered within 2 days on standard delivery. No doubt the wine itself will live up to the rest of the package as usual.
