Confusing

Would have given 5 stars but four days after delivery yodel still haven't updated ebay. Have photo of delivery but one version of tracking says delayed, the other delivered.

Hi There,
We’re really sorry for the confusion and delay in updating your eBay tracking. It’s frustrating to have proof of delivery and still see conflicting information across platforms—especially when you’ve done everything right. We understand how important accurate tracking is, and we regret that this has caused unnecessary hassle and uncertainty.

Thank You,  
Team Yodel.

Book damaged - no response from AB

Book arrived damaged - insufficient packaging meant corner broken and dust sheet torn - so unable to give as present. Sent images to Awesome but absolutely no response - so much for customer service. First time of using and wouldn't use again based on this experience.

Update: AB reached out eventually and whilst refusing to acknowledge book was poorly packed, offered partial refund and discount on next order.

Review of InsideJapan Tours


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

From my initial enquiry to the last day…

From my initial enquiry to the last day of the tour, Inside Japan were superb. They rang a few days before departure to check I had no queries, kept me posted when Heathrow was closed and provided a comprehensive info pack covering every possible item. Finn our tour leader was excellent and passionate about showing us the best of Japan, remaining cheerful throughout.

Review of S2 Sofas

Sam and Ben were brilliant

Sam and Ben delivered my armchair so carefully ensuring nothing was knocked or scratched. For them I'd give five stars. However, I've knocked one off for the reason below.

Delivery was only available on one Sunday each month so that the company could avoid traffic. Given the dates are for the convenience of the company and not the client, it was very expensive - well above the norm.

Review of Vinterior

Hidden costs

I was a first time buyer and I saw no warning that there would be an additional fee added to my purchase. I then found the item selling for less on several websites and whilst a price match was given, the introductory offer was also deducted. There was no option to change delivery date without incurring further costs and this should be flagged up before a purchase is made.

Review of Wildfrontierstravel


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Another fascinating trip with Wild…

Another fascinating trip with Wild Frontiers as Saudi Arabia opens its doors to tourism. As with a previous WF trip to Iran, it felt like our guide was taking a group of friends around her country and showing us a bit of everything - we visited major sites such as Hegra, AlUla and Medina but also dipped into cafes for local specialties, spent time with a family in their home and had a stunning hike around the Al Hatima crater. Saudi hospitality meant we were welcomed with coffee and dates wherever we went and saw everything from camel-driven irrigation systems to state of the art interactive museums. The hotels were excellent and we ate at a variety of restaurants, all providing far more food than we could finish. If you want a rich and varied trip, I'd certainly recommend Wild Frontiers.

Review of Direct Line


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Poor customer service

Tried amending policy online - unable to so rang. Responder's English hard to understand and after over half an hour she announced she had to go off shift - could I call again despite our not having finished doing what needed doing! Persuaded her to pass me on to colleage - again, very poor English and attitude. Not confident I was getting correct response so cancelled policy.
Following above event, received text to send feedback but when I tried to, was told I would incur a charge to do so!
DL's response below came several days after and had taken out other insurance by then

Review of John Lewis Money


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Really poor communication and appalling response

Really poor communication - letter made it sound as though my card and account were closing full stop. Staff in Customer Services had not been briefed either. Then so many emails about the new card long before it arrived. Unaware that balance would be switched immediately, well before receipt of new card so incurred high fee - again, poor communication.

And JL's response to my complaint about THEIR poor communications is to tell me to contact New Day! It beggars belief...

Review of Trailfinders


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Superb - exceptional customer service setting a very high standard indeed

I have booked flights through Trailfinders for many years and whilst they have always been efficient, their handling of the fallout from the coronavirus has been exceptional and set standards which would be very hard to beat.

From the outset they communicated regularly – and clearly – about cancellations with constant reassurances that my money was safe. I had several trips booked and where they were unable to obtain a refund from the relevant airline or hotel, they have provided one themselves. I cannot ratee them highly enough – their patience and client-focussed approach is superb and whenever possible I shall use them in the future. Thank you, thank you Trailfinders.
