Advantages:
Disadvantages: too slow

Zoom is just so very slowwwwwwwww! I logged onto there basically to see if I could find any cheap principals goodies. After 10 minutes I gave up having really got know where at all on the site. Its difficult to navigate due to its slowness. A friend did get further than me but she said it was not worth the effort as what you did see in the end was no different from what was in the shops any way. Basically you'll find (eventually)the Arcadia group ... Read review

Advantages: Lets you see all the sales in your favourite shops
Disadvantages: Customer service could be better

I signed up to Zoom and got a Zoom email address because I got a £10 gift voucher for doing so. You also get Zoom points if you are a member, and buy in certain of their shops. These can then be spent in these shops. If you join, you can personalise your home page with local weather, different types of news, and offers for your favourite shops. It is a useful site to have as your home page. However, I ordered from them several times, and on one ...

Advantages: More than just a shopping site

It is laid out like a filing folder with the various tabs at the top of the screen. Click on the tab and it takes you to a brief description of some of the linked web sites - down the left-hand side of the screen are a whole host of web links. The areas covered ...
...jobs, money techstore and gifts. The gifts area will take you to a number of web links which will search out gift ideas. One of the opinions on this site by another writer says that the site is slow - I did not experience any speed problems accessing the site from my Pentium III computer at work through our fire-wall - perhaps it was either their computer , modem or ISP which caused the speed related access problems. ...

Advantages: None that I am aware of
Disadvantages: Number of disgusting SPAM emails

I have now stopped my zoom email address downloading to my computer as I receive on average 1000! YES 1000 disgusting spam emails per day. Whenever I try to go to the website to delete the emails my computer times out after twenty minutes waiting for the page to open. The problem is that I have quite a few regular emails that still go to that address so I need to be able to enter, find out which ones they are and redirect them to my new address. ... Read review
