One big joke!

Advantages: None, i'm too annoyed!
Disadvantages: Poor customer service and communication.

Don't get me started!!!!!!! I will forewarn you this review may be one BIG moan but I really did not have a good experience! My story: Back in December I was looking for a low wardrobe and a toy chest for my baby daughters bedroom. I looked online and didn't really find anything that fit the bill, they were either the wrong colour, wrong height or just wrong! I looked on the Debenhams website and found just the thing and in the sale too - perfect, ...
...£79.99 and the toy chest £39.99. I paid for the items and filled out my details ready for delivery. It stated that delivery would take up to 4 weeks which was disappointing but I decided I wasn't in any real rush (joke of the century) and went ahead with the order. 2 weeks later the toy chest arrived. Great I thought, but where is the wardrobe. I telephoned Debenhams just to make sure the van driver hadn't made a mistake. They informed me that they ...

Its well worth it

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: none

Good old Woolworths is back with a bang online. Shortly after Woolworths stores closing nationwide across the UK the website closed down. Everyone thought that was the end of Woolworths but it was not after months of rebuilding the site back up it was finally back online. I recently purchased my first thing from Woolworths since making it's comeback this summer. I purchased FIFA 10 on the PS3 it ws due to be released on October the 2nd but to my ...

Priceshopper UK

Advantages: Nice design and navigation
Disadvantages: not enough merchants and products

Altough it is another website using Shopping.com's feed technology, I pretty much like it. The design, navigation is pretty neat, the only problem with it is that there is not enough merchants using Shopping.com, compared to Kelkoo's range - so you will get many if not up to 55% of results from the same merchants over and over again. One thing I question the owners about is "Why have you not got search boxes on all pages guys?"... This one major ...

Good idea pity about the service

Advantages: Cheap. Good idea
Disadvantages: Poor service. Unreliable.

Like many people I was introduced to this site a year ago when those adverts with the little ants were on TV. I thought the collective buy ethos was a neat idea so I checked out the web site, expecting there to be a big catch. But there wasn't. The site is well designed and well explained. It's simple to start an account and your account manager pages are easy to access, and give you all the info you need. The co-buys also look very attractive. I ...
...normal retail price. Of course the catch is that the co-buy needs enough people to join it for the price to come down. But you can aid this by emailing your friends through the site. So I thought I'd take the plunge and bought a pair of panasonic speakers for £20. (Reduced from £30) They notified me when the co-buy was complete, debited my account and approximately a week later the speakers arrived. I have had nothing but pleasure from these speakers. ...

Discounts for NHS Staff

Advantages: Bargains to be had, Easy comps to enter
Disadvantages: Only for NHS Staff

They say that the NHS has over 1 million employees. The law of averages says that quite a few Ciao members will be employed in there somewhere. They might find this review very interesting and useful!! Us NHS employees have to try to make our earnings stretch as we don't really get paid very much compared to our private sector buddies (oops, I can feel a discussion topic coming up here!!!). NHS Discounts.com helps us to do that, although they do ...
...how does it work? Essentially, NHS Discounts does exactly what it says - it arranges discounts on products from suppliers for NHS staff and their families. They advertise these discounts on their site and tell you how to get them in language that is very easy to understand.You then follow their link through to that suppliers website and order online or via telephone depending on the supplier and the product.For example, they are advertising a JVC ...
