Don't fall for their SCART/HDMI cable scam
Review of Currys (Shop) by lksnfoci

Advantages: Local
Disadvantages: The hard sell. Staff lie to get sales, know nothing about the products - worse than useless

...just bought a TV from Currys and the saleswoman tried to con me into buying a new SCART cable for an extra £19. I happen to know quite a bit about electronics so I didn't fall for it for a minute, but just so you're warned the conversation goes somethin ... Read review

Awful workmanship
Review of Dunelm Mill by shaxta

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: more or less a waste of money

I bought a pair of Red Naples curtains and had them shortened by 6 inches. The workmanship is awful. The edges aren't straight; being wavy near the bottom, so they don't hang well. When I was able, I could have made a hundred percent better job of this my ... Read review

black lace up wedges
Review of Miss Selfridge Boom Wedges by doriee.jay

Advantages: gives me a lot of height, visually pleasing
Disadvantages: feels like Im leaing forward sometimes

I'm really small at just 5ft 2" and I don't wear heels often because I don't have the opportunity to wear them enough so it's easier to just not own any. I really wanted some heels however to go with my peplum dress for my 21st birthday party. I was looki ... Read review

I have shopped at Pets At Home for 5 years or so; my oldest guinea pig was purchased from there. My local store is Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. I constantly see critique and insults on their facebook page and in the press, and I cannot understand why. My ... Read review

Hi and welcome to Ciao. I understand you have had a bad experience with Cotton Traders and have chosen to share that with others but you would need to write about what they offer, website layout, ease of use as well as other things to get higher ratings here. You may not feel it is worth it as you only want to tell people of your bad experience - that's your choice. If you do want to be an active member here, take a look around to see what level of content constitutes higher ratings. If you do choose to stick around, I hope you enjoy it! by mattydalton

IF I COULD GIVE MINUS 5, I WOULD!
Review of Currys (Shop) by shamrock1964

Advantages: Local
Disadvantages: Bully boy sales tactics; aggressive and abusive staff; total lack of interest in customer.

I called into Currys Chippenham store to purchase a washing machine. I decided on an Indesit model on the basis that the installation would be free of charge. The staff member and, in her words, the “manager” went about setting up an account which took a ... Read review

I think you meant to review robert dyas online, not the actual shop? In any case this is more a rant than a review, though from experience the shop is fantastic and the online ordering is a nightmare, I would never order online from them again after a bad experience but the shop I go to regularly has excellent customer service by azana

Golden service at Goldsmiths, Dundee
Review of Goldsmiths (Shop) by ryanando

Advantages: friendly staff, kept us informed, quality products, free wine beer tea and coffee
Disadvantages: stock not always instantly available

A sigh of relief Christmas 2012 was the day I popped the question to my partner Allan. Since then I've done nothing but write about it, so I apologise for boring you all to tears. Eventually I'll run out of things connected to it that I feel the n ... Read review

Review of Waterstones Book Shops by 1st2thebar

Advantages: Alive and Kicking.
Disadvantages: Collaboration with Transworld.

Established: 1982 by Tim Waterstone 288 stores Currently owned by a Russian billionaire called Alexander Mamut Now the fees of keeping a community library open is far too much in the current financial climate – the focus for me is to use the ... Read review

Had to smile at your opening paragraph Shaun, you have the staff spot on! Must be all trained from the same area so the're all alike no matter which Waterstones they end up in! :~D Not sure a ‘scratch n sniff’ app' would work, or would i want it too; i look dodgy enough without standing in the middle of the street sniffing my Kindle! :~) 'I want the best of both worlds' too Shaun, and i applaud your enthusiasm for the wonderful world that can only really be harnessed in a great book store. I love Waterstones. Don't know if you've ever watched 'Frasier', but its a superbly written comedy series in which many scenes take place in a coffee shop that has a small area where there are a couple of chairs and a couple of bookcases that look like they're filled with classic well leafed through books, ahh the ambience. I have spent many an hour in our local Waterstones reading through material in their comfy box chairs supping coffee while my son leafs through very expensive books as if they were gem stones, perhaps that's how we should all view the printed page eh! Superb review xXx by Deesrev
Im not a fan of Waterstones in general, or any other book shop that has a coffee outlet built in. Don't get me wrong, as an avid coffee fan and ex-barista of many years, I'm all for coffee shops. But the noise generated is far more intrusive when browsing for books in a store that should effectively offer the same kind of spiritual release that libraries evoke. I adore books as opposed to going down the E-route though. by Nar2

Disadvantages: None
