Review of John Banks Group


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent sales support and advice

Great choice of reliable cars. The Honda range is very good. From my first conversation with Rhys everything went like clockwork. He took time to listen to my thoughts on my choices based on wanting to go smaller than my CRV. He encouraged me to test drive the ZRV and HRV and carefully went through the model options. Rhys ensured that I understood my purchase choices and helped me make a good decision about my new car. I am very happy with my HRV Advance thanks to the support and good advice from Rhys at John Banks Honda Ipswich

Grand Tour of Japan

An incredible opportunity to see so much of Japan in one visit. The Grand Tour of Japan took us from North to South visiting 4 islands and included the classic tourist locations. All the trip went like clockwork and the clients were looked after very well by our Tour Manager.
Packing in so much in 15 days does mean it is fast paced and tiring. Most days we walked 13K-14K steps. There is little "free time" and as most stays are one night and activities arranged for every moment of the day often ending with transfer to the new location (so you have to miss the whole day if there is something that you do not fancy), there is very little opportunity to pursue personal interests and rejoin the Tour, though it is probable that you could arrange that in advance.
The first of two group meals at a beer hall was very poor and so early in the Tour caused concern.
Our local guide was friendly but used the Internet for location info on most occasions rather than personal knowledge. He only engaged with a few people on the Tour and did not always offer the respect that our Tour Manager deserved.
There are a few little details that would be good to have in advance e.g. the immigration form (it can be done in advance on-line); cards are accepted in most places with ATMs available so large amounts of cash are not needed. It would be better if someone with personal knowledge of the Tour was available for clients as Customer Services staff have very little specific knowledge and, in my experience, do not follow through on commitments made.
The tip suggestion did not feel right to me particularly in a country where tipping is not practiced. If all clients had given the manager and guide the suggested £5 a day they would have got over £2000 tax free each for 2 weeks work!
If you want to see all of the key locations in Japan and have the energy for a packed adventure then this is the trip for you.

Appoint a better courier

Product is of good quality.
However, the chosen courier delivered the parcel to the wrong address and despite several messages and photographic evidence failed to acknowledge its mistake. Eventually ignoring all my emails.

Update. Ann I am so glad we managed to speak to you and that your neighbour had taken delivery of your order delivered incorrectly by the courier. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience once again.

Well planned and well delivered

Trainer was engaging and eloquent. The time was used very effectively. All participants were involved and made to feel that their contributions were valued. The content was interesting and enabled participants to understand the necessity to drive within the speed limit at all times.

Excellent fitter

Excellent fitter who worked very hard without a break for 3 days. Bedroom looks fabulous and exactly what I asked for.
Fitting dates changed to later at last minute was very inconvenient, especially to a Bank Holiday weekend.
Parts missing (5 door knobs) so fitter will have to come back.

Missing box

Delivery in good time. Courier was delightful and very friendly. However on unpacking boxes discovered parts were missing so couldn't build the bed. Called and was told that the 4th box had gone to the wrong depot and would not be with me for another 24 hours. Two fails - box delivered to wrong depot but mainly I was not informed until I telephoned.

Great product over packed

First use of powder looked good so happy I have this transparent face powder to seal my make up.
Disappointed in a company that uses so much packaging though.

Great service that is so helpful when it works well which is does most of the time. However, on two occasions lately the pharmacy has been out of stock with one of my items and did not let me know. It was nearly two weeks before I received the medication

Good morning Ann Snowdon

Thank you for your review.

I am pleased to hear you are happy with our service and welcome this opportunity to discuss this further.

I am sorry one of your medications was delayed due to stock issues, our current process is that if medication is due to be delivered to us within 1-3 days, the timescales given by the manufacturers, we do not inform patients immediately, as we generally find stock can be received within 24 hours or certainly within our delivery timescale.

I am pleased to advise that we will be shortly rolling out a new process with out of stock medication, where an automated email will be sent to the patient as soon as the stock order is placed to let you know immediately of any delay and from this email you will be able to select a button to ship out the rest of your order.

I do understand this has not helped you on this occasion but hope you will appreciate we are continuing to work to improve the service we provide for you.

Kind regards

Vivienne

Best private healthcare provider

C S Healthcare has provided me with exceptional care. Simple and easy to report your needs and get advice and you get what you have paid for. I have had minor surgery, financial support when I was in an NHS hospital following a car crash and now treatment for breast cancer.
It feels good to pay into a healthcare provider that is not focussed on profit and to know that the NHS doesnt have to pay for my treatment. If you are in a position to pay for private healthcare insurance this is the company to use.
Great to see staff at NAHT Conference again!
