Having been a customer of BOC for several years, I can honestly say that their service has been consistently poor. Enquiries go unanswered, products have been hard to find and it’s just generally hard to do business with them. I’m currently trying to pay my last invoice with them and this is wasting a ludicrous amount of time, principally because their website has not been built to work on a phone. Things shouldn’t be this hard.

I’m a long time customer and Heinnie is my first port of call and preferred supplier for knives, tools, outdoor gear and pretty much everything I need when just being me. Always lightning fast service (even during COVID) and on the rare occasion when there’s a problem, I know I can relax, because they’ll fix it. Awesome.

I’ve been using Jerry Cards for the last year or so. Always fast delivery and no problems at all. Good job Jerry!

I’ve purchased a lot of lights from these guys. Great service every time. Fast delivery and great products.

I was really pleased with my Hippobag service. I bought a big bag and got rid of all the junk from my garage without having to have a giant skip on my drive. Also - there’s only one visit from the lorry instead of two as there would be from a skip, so time bonus. Also the driver who came to collect my bag was really nice and friendly and took care not to drive on my lawn which I appreciated. I would definitely use Hippo again!

Simple order process and fast delivery. Excellent service.

I’ve now placed a few orders and each time service has been fast and hassle-free. I really like that the website takes Apple Pay, which means no checkout forms to fill in. I also appreciate that they have kept operating during the Covid lockdown. Well done guys.

Helpful when I called for info before placing an order and shipping was fast. I would definitely use Kenny’s again.

I Have ordered quite a lot of items from them now and have always been impressed by the quality of products, and speed of delivery. The first place I look when I want something.

Our plane was delayed by an hour, so Sixt claimed that they had given our car away because we were an hour late. This is a car that we had prepaid for the entire rental period. They then made us pay an additional charge per day for another (inferior) car. I will never use this bunch of ripoff merchants again.

I was impressed by my purchase from Montane. The buying process is quick and simple and communication about when the delivery would arrive was great. Looks like returns would be just as easy too, but I didn’t need to return the trousers I bought, they are excellent.

Set up our account, our store and our products, Took our money, let us go live. Then, once we were "locked in" started coming up with excuses why our account was "on hold" and why we couldn't be paid. They wait until you are selling so that you can't switch to a competitor without losing money. It's a con.

There was a time when the bbc had its place. That time ended probably around 1980. Now the programming is poor, even David Attenborough has moved to Netflix. Particularly bad is the news coverage, which is light on news and heavy on propaganda. It seems that there are no journalists left any more, just activists. I can’t remember the last time I saw an interviewer that didn’t hold an obvious bias. I’m not saying the BBC shouldn’t exist at all, but it should definitely be an opt-in subscription service. In the UK, we actually jail people for watching TV. That’s too ridiculous to survive.

After using Starling for about a year, I decided to switch to them as my main bank. I’ve been with Barclays for 30 years, but the stubbornness of the old High St Banks is beginning to show their clunky systems and clunky attitude. In fact when I tried to close my Barclays account, it took a month and a team of specialists - and they never adequately explained their charges during this period either. The attitude of Starling is completely different: Fresh, fast, simple. I usually get payment notifications before a shop has even finished the transaction on the till - and the ease with which I can now manage payments and standing orders is amazing. This is obviously the way that banking is going to go, and when the old banks start to announce that they are downsizing, it will simply be because they didn’t think that they had to compete.

Fast delivery and reliable service. Excellent.

Quick despatch, good communications by email so I could see what was happening with the order. Delivery on time and items great! Got a bargain too. Thanks!

Very fast shipping. Staff are helpful and quick to respond to queries. I’ll definitely be using them again.

Brilliant service from Adele at the Birmingham branch. Not only did she help me "McGyver" together a non-standard mounting system for my GoPro, external mic and sound recorder, but she even sorted a copy invoice for me when I was a muppet and lost mine. I've always had good service from Calumet / Wex as a company but the service in-store in Birmingham was also excellent and much appreciated.

Parts of the domain management interface just plain don't work. Easily (who have now apparently been purchased and answer calls in Canada if you wait about 2 hours on the phone and there's a following wind) don't care. I've lost count of the number of emails, phone calls and forms that I've filled in to try to get them to do something. Avoid at all costs.

Ascio bought my domain registrar, whom I have been using for about 20 years. Since they bought them, and became responsible for my domain name management, it has been a complete shambles. The online tools they provided are awful and many of the functions don't work. I am now left trying to get a human response out of this company so that I can manage essential DNS records for my domains. Nased on my experience so far I would recommend that you choose another provider.
