jungle.com

My first experiences of Jungle were not too good. Sure, I got a free software CD with some graphics package I looked at once and never used again. Of course this is what enticed me to join up as a customer in the first place. The interface of the website was very attractive and really easy to navigate so long as you Browse and don't use the Search function. I had no problem finding a variety of things I liked at a very affordable price. Even a few ...
...up when I saw them. Unfortunately, I placed about 3 different orders for these bargains and they never showed up in the space of around 17 days so I had to cancel each and every one. I was very dismayed by Jungle's false promises and it's online order tracking that kept on knocking back the date just as the delivery was due. They dangled their sale items like an imaginary carrot that I would never obtain. Anyway, this run of bad luck was broken after ...

Review of jungle.com

...recently purchased a computer from jungle.com , I was given very helpful advice over the phone and reccomendations for extra items, the salesman was very friendly and didnt try to push any product on to me. I found their advertisment in a PC magazine with all their products and prices clearly shown. The price of the computer was much less compared to High street shops and was delivered the very next working day. Dont pay High street prices when their ...
...started playing up I rang Jungle.com who were very helpful, no putting me on hold or waiting while listening to dreadful music, I was simply asked to box up my monitor and it would be collected that day. Two hours later there was a knock on the door and there was a courier to take the monitor away. Two days later my monior was replaced with a new model..... now theres service for you, you dont get that very often these days. ...

Review of jungle.com

I have used Jungle.com 5 times since Christmas and I have always been very pleased with the price and speed of delivery. I recently ordered a CD RW Drive and 2 x 50 CDR's. I ordered these on August Bank Holiday and received the drive and 1 lot of cdr's on the Thursday. Thinking that they had ran out of stock (it was a very good offer) I expected the 2nd lot of CDR's to follow later. A week after when I checked my credit card bill, I saw that I had ...
...wished to share it with all on CIAO. As you will see from my profile I do not normally write revues but felt in this instance to make an exception. So anyone who wishes to order anything from Jungle.com rest assured that you are ordering from the best online shop. ...

Review of jungle.com

I know there's a squillion reviews on Jungle.com, but given my recent experience with them I felt I had to add my comments to the mass. I wanted to upgrade my friend's PC to include a CDRW drive. There's a tonne of these on the market nowadays, and I did some thorough research before starting a bargain hunt. One thing about me - I hate paying over-the-odds for goods, so the price of the item was imperative. I actually browsed onto Jungle as an ...
...websites, and it was a flippant click of the mouse that saw me arrive at Jungle.com. I'm very glad I did.. There's a few niggly things I didn't like - the search bar is tiny and squashed into the top left hand corner, and you really have to know what the title of the item is that you're searching for. Jungle doesn't use fuzzy searches, and searching for CDRW (which I would've hoped covered both drives and media) only gave me discs. Not much cop. ...

Review of jungle.com

I actually love the Jungle website, especially since its been updated. There are a few niggles that annoy me, but all in all, I love this website. You could spend hours looking at the Jungle website, there are so many different gadgets and bits and pieces that you can become engaged in it and forget that others may need the telephone line! I have ordered alot from Jungle in the past, and when I bought my new home PC I decided to go for an all-in-one ...
...£160 thinking I would get some loyalty points, ie. get some money off of things but when I went to the loyalty points page I discovered it was no longer working. I was hoping this would get updated and I would get my loyalty points but as of yet I havent seen any signs of them. There are many products on the Jungle website but I tend to find that they put the same products but different colours as different products and this makes looking at the ...

The occasional delay in delivery and once the wrong item was dispatched but their customer service seemed to be generally helpful and things were corrected quickly. The Web-site: The web-site itself is easy to navigate with buttons and tabs leading you to each section. It's easy to join up and become a member, and searching for items is a piece of cake. Each item has a rating ...

The pricing is competitive and the delivery options are handy with an evening delivery available for people who have to work. They offer all types of computer equipment but they also stock CD's, Videos, electrical equipment e.g. Camcorders, DVD players… They also offer the ability to download software for a reduced price. The Problem: In ...

Review of jungle.com

I have used Jungle.com several times and have continued using its service over the years mainly because it provides cheaper priced goods and the delivery and order tracking services are excellent. Upon browsing through the site and what it has to offer, it has definitely increased the variety of products from the last time and puts it on a par with the other well known sites like amazon.com for example. Jungle claims to be the UKs leading online ...
...been prompt and it seems Jungle.com are reaching for the stars in all departments including Customer Services. Jungle.com have also introduced a Gift voucher scheme so you can send your friends and family vouchers if you are having trouble finding the perfect gift or are running short of time! A very useful feature. As if all these features weren't enough, the website in general is pretty fast which definitely makes it an enjoyable online ordering ...

Review of jungle.com

When I first heard about Jungle.com I had only just purchased a new pc for home and I was looking for a new printer to compliment my new pc. I was recommended to try Jungle.com buy a friend so I decided to see what they had to offer. I found a Hewlett-Packard 610c printer at a special offer price of £49.00 plus carriege charges.the best price I found elswhere was £69.00 from empire-direct.com also on the internet. So I decicded to go ahead with ...
...many days the delivery is likely to take. the only thing that may put people off of Jungle.com is thier delivery charges not miles over the top really but slightly higher than other sites on the internet but if you watch what you are buying you can come out smiling. ...

Review of jungle.com

...of Dixons or PC World, Jungle.com sells stuff that falls under the banners of music, DVD, video, gaming, phones, gadgets, computer hardware, consumables, computer software, cameras and camcorders, accessories and home electrical. Navigation around the site is extremely easy with your navigation bar on the left evolving as you explore the site further. For example, if you are looking for a PDA (palm top computer), you would search down through Computer ...
...it near impossible to recommend Jungle.com to anyone. They offer a good range of services and a website that's easy to navigate and provides lots of information on the more technical items you may be buying. If things go wrong (and in my experience, this happens more often than not), then you could be in for a very frustrating experience. (I would offer it no stars if I could, but I guess it must get something for the range of goods, and good website!) ...

Review of jungle.com

i originally bought a printer from jungle, what a mistake. i arranged to have it delivered on an evening which cost an extra 5 pounds. it was arranged for the friday night, but it did not arrive until the friday 2 weeks later. after phoning jungle many times to try to resolve the problem i almost gave up seeing my printer, or my money. first they said i had never ordered the item, then when i faxed them my bank statement showing the money had been ...
...then finally they told me there was a problem with the courier. i eventually got my printer but after the experiance will never buy from there again. the customer service is poor and they are more intrested in keeping themselves in the right than admitting when it is their fault ...

Review of jungle.com

I first came across Jungle.com when it was time to purchase some new speakers for my pc. After doing a search it seemed that Jungle were the only UK online retailer who actually stocked the TEAC ones that I wanted. It gave me confidence that Jungle are part of the Argos Retail Group – I am always full of praise for Argos – so off I went into the Jungle on my search…… First Impressions ----------------- Very green and white ...
...Reward Scheme -------------- Jungle.com has a loyalty scheme – for every £1 you spend you are given 1 jewel. You can then use these jewels against selected offers they make available to you, based on the information/interests that you provide them with. In essence, the more jewels you have the bigger the discount you are allowed. I am not keen on this discount scheme, as I would like to be able to use my jewels against any product, or at least ...

Review of jungle.com

Jungle sell a wide range of goods, from mobile phones and Tv's to RAM for your PC. Similar range to dabs.com I have been using jungle for a while now. I have purchased computer games, computer hardware both big and small, though I would never actually buy a computer from them - stick to the experts! Throughout my time using them I have almost never had a problem. I did have one slipup whereby they kept sending me the wrong part (a lead to connect ...
...for a palm III), just not quite(I needed one for a palm V). They answered the phone fairly rapidly ie. not 1hr in the queue. The customer service guy admitted that they had been having similar problems with other products which doesn't bode well. He suggested that I cancel the order and find a normal shop to buy it from! Maybe this does not put jungle in such a good light however they refunded me quickly and I valued his honesty. better than pretending ...

Review of jungle.com

Jungle.Com is one of the first online computer, electronic and software retailers that I remember. They sell a whole host of items, ranging from videos and computer games up to PC’s, TV’s and DVD players. The website is very easy to navigate around although the search function on the site can sometimes throw up some very strange results. The site is divided up into sections for each category of item (e.g. video, computer, games etc) and clicking ...
...which displays the current best offers available in that section. A further search can be made once inside each section. The results that are displayed aren’t that easy to read in my opinion as each item is shown in a rectangular box, giving basic details such as name, price and availability. It is possible to view more information on most items by clicking the ‘i’ button. As for price, it isn’t the cheapest by a long way unless you hit on when they ...

Review of jungle.com

Jungle.com - yes everyone has heard of it haven't they? So WHY IS THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE SO POOR? Like other members I hate to rant about things just for the sake of it, but I do hate when companies take their customers for granted. I logged on to Jungle.com in mid December to buy a printer for my young brother-in-law. The site is very easy to use and gives good balanced reviews of products...the product was even instock and could be dispatched ...
...NOT GOOD! I called Jungle.com early the next day and quoted my order number and explained my problem. The girl I spoke to said there was no way to prioritise the delivery and if the web site said it would not be dispatch until after Christmas then that is when it would be. I decided to canel my order. She took the details and promised it would be cancelled immediately. I raced out to one of my local PC retailers the next day and bought a similar ...

Review of jungle.com

When I was going to buy my Christmas shopping of the internet, I went to Jungle.com! I searched for product and found it very quickly! The price was £2 cheaper than High Street stores, so I went on to buy it. Buying it was quick as well, and it was very safe. It asked me about all the was I could pay, I could even pay by cheaqu but I used my Solo card! Then after it said I will get a confirmation e-mail, and I got that after about 5 minutes! Then ...
