Review of Budget Car Rental


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Avoid at all costs.

Be careful. Budget have charged my credit card with £400 for excess insurances that I specifically rejected as I had paid for my own insurance policy. As a result I am chasing a franchise office in Dubrovnik who put me on hold whenever I call them. It is a massive fraud.

Review of Opodo


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Car hire danger

I booked a car through Opodo. I payed in advance and bought their excess insurance. I hired the car from Budget, rejected their excess insurance etc. I have now come home and my credit card has been charged for £400 of insurance charges. The voucher seems to have been offset on my statement but never would have covered the rental costs.

Review of Sytner Group


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

They don't focus on service outcomes for their customers

I have found Sytner difficult to deal with. When making bookings, they seem to need you to book about 2 months in advance. Then when I booked for an MOT and service I was told I didn't need a service only to later be told that I did when I turned up for my MOT. This meant that my service was finally completed 4 months after I had tried to book it.

I had a strange fault where my heating system was tripping out all winter. I asked them to review it, was delayed until the diagnostic check was on site, then was charged £150 for the diagnostic only to be told they couldn't find a fault! They clearly haven't had to drive 200 miles with no heating in January!!

Overall, the showroom is glossy, the building and services is great but the service counter is their weak link.

Had the right tool for the job.

Had the right tool for the job.

As DIY stores close and there is less and less choice for DIY equipment I found Toolstation. Their online process of ordering what you need for the job is quick and efficient and there was no queue at the store.

Review of Denby Pottery

Always good quality

Always good quality. It is shame some of the ranges are coming to the end now, but I have enjoyed Denby pottery for 30 years now and it has never let me down.

This company is a cowboy company

This company is a cowboy company. I have tried to get my boiler serviced. I have had no shows and service engineers be removed from your repair list before they come to undertake the work.

They don't carry out the work and then most recently they auto renewed my contract with my permission and are now threatening me with a debt agency because I cancelled my direct debit.

DON'T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SIGN UP WITH THIS COMPANY.

Review of ZOE


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Expensive and glitchy

So the science behind Zoe is really interesting and what it is nudging you to do with your diet seems a really good idea.

However, it seems ever so expensive - I can’t see what costs £50 per month! I mean this is a huge subscription cost and all you get is access to an app and the app seems to regurgitate the same advice over and over. There is limited interactivity.

Then this week, with no warning Zoe goes from recommending I eat 90-144 grams of protein per day (I weigh 90 kg so this seems an appropriate target for me) to eating 41-65 grams of protein! No explanation has been given for this sudden change to what would appear to be a wrong target.

All told, it is a lot of money for what it gives you.

EDF energy hi

I use the EDF energy hub to help me to understand what energy I am using. It gives me good analysis on my hourly/daily/monthly usage.

Review of best4hedging


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Dreadful customer service

I placed an order 3 weeks ago expecting delivery within 3-7 working days. 8 working days later I got an email saying it had been despatched. 2 days later parcelforce said it was delayed - I chased up on it and parcelforce sent me to best4hedging. I telephoned and emailed leaving my contact details asking for some feedback. It is now 3 days later and I have had no further contact. I am not sure if the company is fraudulent, incompetent, swamped or what the cause is but I would steer clear of using this company. I am now having to claim back my payment via my credit card company due to the lack of feedback and the fact they took payment on the original order (rather than on despatch like most retailers do).

My order number is #143363

This appears to be a fake website

This appears to be a fake website. I have not received any responses to my questions about the order I have placed, the email given doesn't seem to be active and there is nothing online that indicates this a bona fide website.

Review of Wiggle.co.uk


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Poor customer service

I placed an order 2 weeks ago for delivery 3 days later. My order is now 9 days overdue and I have had no correspondence from wiggle.
I have emailed them every day for the last week, but none of my emails have been responded to.
There is no way of contacting them other than through their website and they don't seem able to respond to emails.
I am really disappointed.
