Review of BamBonn


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Overpriced Greed.

My wife asked me to order her two head scarve type things that keep her hair in good order while she sleeps.

I was amazed that they were £15 each as no more than a thin bandana type thing but proceeded only to find for some unexplained reason Bambonn add VAT after so with VAT & delivery these small simple bits of material were £39 for two.

Absolutely profiteering & greedy.

Review of Evri


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

The very worst of a bad bunch.

Terrible tracking, impossible to communicate with & finally arrived at 21.21 at night.

Changing names achieved nothing if you don't change practices.

I often ask sellers if they use EVRI & if so I go elsewhere.

Genuinely detest this company.

###Anyone who has dealt with Evri before knows that is the standard lovey cuddly concerned BS response, nothing changes & they know who I am from the tracking number.###

Review of Tapi Carpets & Floors


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Up Sale/Sharp Practice

Really disappointed with Tapi, had a visit to measure & quote.

Firstly told I need the floor screeded again for £210 & then the actual quote was inflated by:-

Delivery charge
Admin fee
Flooring Tape

Not how I have bought flooring before, in my experience I agree a price plus a fitting charge & the job is done.

Not storing any flooring at showrooms & then charging for delivery is a scam, admin fees & tape are surely just part of the sale.


### Joe, I didn't place an order obviously but your local store chased me up & I told him as above. He offered a discount but I refused as not happy with the process at all again as above.###

Huge increase on renewal.

First contract was good even if occasional loss of Internet.

Huge 20% increase on renewal is appalling.

Review of ITV


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Less repeats with pickled onions

ITV 1 really do not deserve the funding they receive.

Yet again the only Saturday & Sunday afternoon & evening shows not repeats are the news.

If it's not James bond it's Harry Potter.

Went Woke & definitely gone broke.

Amazon have bought a new low to delivery, drivers just leave parcels on the doorstep to be stolen.

I don't even have an Amazon account but endless eBay sellers use them but I give negative feedback if so.

It's not acceptable.

Review of EE


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

BT in EE clothing.

EE like most phone companies write so many clauses into their T&C's the contract is virtually worthless.

Took Scam Guard out just 3 months ago with our new contracts but now told it is increasing 50%.

Of course EE quote said T&C's, the 'resolution' is not having it. Suck it up or cancel it, they factor cancellations into these increases hence 50% so still profit.

Exactly what BT used to do & exactly why they lost customers year on year until EE took over but in truth this is BT's playbook.

Review of Halo ARC


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Faultless

My car took a no fault of mine knock & I chose my insurer LV over the 3rd parties to sort.

They use Halo near Southampton for body repair, the friendly staff, service, communication, quality & speed has been an eye opener.

Obviously speed is subject to work involved but I was kept well informed & the car came back in good order, washed & at the time advised.

Can't fault the experience I've had.

Leaflets.

Every time they sell a house they post a leaflet through my door to let me and everyone in a square know, who cares. Save paper.

Review of ryobi.com


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Cynical contempt for customer base.

Upsale scam on the new grinder, they have removed the spanner locater in the handle so cable free but now need to carry the spanner.

If you complain they inform you they can supply an easy fix nut for £18 including postage. Why not keep the spanner in the handle as previous design or supply with the easy fix nut.

Total scam.

Review of Ryobi Tools UK


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Cynical SCAM.

I recently purchased a cordless grinder to replace my cabled ryobi one, really disappointed to find they had removed the spanner holder in the handle so now cordless but nowhere for the spanner.

On complaining to Ryobi I get told I can buy an easy fix nut to illiminate the need for the spanner.

SEE THE SCAM, it could of come with the nut or the same handle to still take the spanner but they want another £12 plus £6 postage, such a low & cynical move to squeeze the customer base. Really really disappointing as own plenty of Ryobi kit.

### look at that reply people, shows the contempt for the customer###

Review of Wickes


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Not helpful.

New tradepro customer & had some board cut for free at Wickes which led me to be confident in placing a bigger order for delivery, I walked in and was told they could deliver 8 sheets of osb board for me but when I enquired about cutting to 6x4 they then won't deliver.

They'll cut it but won't deliver or they'll deliver as long as its not cut.

I offered to get it cut instore & bring to the trade till for delivery but still a 'no'. I left surprised & will get elsewhere, not very trade friendly in my opinion.

Even called customer services to check as confused but they said its their policy.

Review of Mcvities

Sucking the joy from life.

McVities are sucking the joy from life, so little sugar in biscuits now they are not a sweet treat.

Absolutely a waste of money now, smaller, thinner but more importantly bland.

And kwackawheat are even worse as no salt, we know what we want & it's not always healthy.

You are not my Nan, give me what I thought I was buying.

Review of Abri

Show ponies.

Abri gardening crew constantly only cut the greens along Mansbridge Rd but not the ones further into the estate.

Rarely are the green areas addressed.

Does senior management know this?

We pay for this service but don't receive it.

## standard Abri response if you look through reviews, don't like people at their office,don't like calls, just don't work for the people, they cut the grass & missed more bits than a blind man wet shaving.##

Review of LV=


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

So dissapointed

So dissapointed, LV have been great but tried an huge increase on renewal this year with no claims or changes.

Was £280 increased to £470 but renewed with the AA for £330.

## 70% increase! I appreciate the response but see no justification for a 70% increase, I got the same policy at the AA for a near 20% increase.

So many companies are using the publicised increases to covertly increase profit margins. ##

Hi, we're sorry you’re unhappy with your renewal price. The UK car insurance market is experiencing an increase in both the number of claims and the cost to resolve. This is one of many reasons premiums are increasing. We’re doing everything we can to keep costs as low as possible for our customers.

Today Simon Mayo Wickes promo…

Today 17.30 with Simon Mayo I thought he was talking to a colleague asking where he was & he replied at "Wickes Kitchens" & then proceeded to have a conversation constantly mentioning Wickes.

Eventually became Obvious it was an advertising feature but out of order & not a listener who wants to be scammed.

These strokes are not acceptable & the up until now growing market share can soon reverse.
