AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Not to be trusted.

Jeez this company take the biscuit! Never have I wasted so much time! On TWO occasions I have been basically lied to by this company. My first attempt to spend my money was dashed when I ordered a guitar which was stated as in stock, my credit card transaction was processed, albeit the amount was not debited from my a/c BUT when a company does this it in effect 'freezes' this amount and although it isn't taken it shows up on your account and those ...
...when I check the progress of my order on-line two days later it says 'unable to proceed item unavailable'. I email and am told 'someone' just bought it seconds before I placed my order - what rubbish! And anyway thanks for letting me know. But now I cannot spend the amount (£800) the item cost until it clears from my credit card IN THREE WEEKS TIME! But I never spent the money! Apparently you have to ask the company in question to contact your credit ...

Review of Thomann.de

tax the easy way

Advantages: quick no waiting in queues
Disadvantages: none

...must say though that the DVLA have got onto a good idea here, renewing online.....YES, no more standing in the dreaded post office queue for an hour at the same time as everyone else getting their tax. So how does it work, well first wait for your reminder to pop thrrough the post which is usually 14 days before renewal and on the right hand side of the leeter in big bold black writting is "Relicense or SORN online or by phone and a 16 digit refernce ...
...go to the local post office if you wish and details are on the form telling you what to do. The website itself was very easy to navigate : www.direct.gov.uk/taxdisc takes you straight to where you need to be. You enter the reference number in and hayho your details come up. You confirm your car details are correct then it proceeds to check if you have a valid MOT and insurance which only takes literally a few seconds. Then the worst part comes....Payment. ...

Review of DVLA Tax Disc Online service

Oven delivery

Advantages: Clear communication throughout the process, fantastic service in my opinion

We noticed there was no electricity cable from the oven, the guys waited ...

Review of Sainsburys Kitchen Appliances

Littlewoods Clearance

Advantages: Some amazing prices on top quality products
Disadvantages: I keep wanting to go back.

I have just visited my old home town for the first time in years and there was a new sign on the High Street - Littlewoods Clearance. It had replaced what I remembered to be a slightly down trodden catalogue shop that had never really been on my radar. I was shopping for things for a new house so figured, nothing ventured, nothing gained and went inside. As an aside to this review, I am not normally a discount shopper, I can't be bothered with all ...
...places resemble a bad charity shop and I'd rather pay a bit more to find what I am looking for and receive a decent level of service, either that or order through the internet and have it delivered straight to my door! Well I can tell you, those days are gone. I have since read the rather old review on 'Bargain crazy' sounded good, but I can tell you, now this company has become Littlewoods Clearance they must have got even better! As I entered ...

Review of Bargain Crazy (bargaincrazy.com)

ZooPlus and defective Eheim product

Advantages: Free P&P if you spend more tha £30.00
Disadvantages: Electrical items use two pin plugs and adaptor supplied is massive. Poor customer service.

Dear All, Ordered a Eheim Aquatic Vacuum cleaner. After 3 weeks, the internals began making a grating noise then the item went completely kaput. I returned the item for a replacement, as the one sent was inherently faulty. After a month I've had no replacment. Very Very Poor Customer service. Electrical items use two pin plugs and adaptor supplied is giagantic and not practical when space is at a premium..from my point of view. The Eheim is submersible ...
...The aquarium water does become cloudy during use, this is mentioned in the instructions, but this is collected in the filter and clears after a couple of hours. Shame the quality is poor With this battery-operated gravel cleaner (batteries are included), you can clean the floor of your aquarium easily, even between water changes. The power of the device is so designed that dirt is taken up without disturbing the gravel and its purifying bacteria. ...
