On Saturday we went to El Corte Ingles in Marbella to purchase and Apple watch as they had it on offer. We were served straight away and the gentleman was excellent. He asked the right questions and made me realise that for 4 years I had Cellular and really didn´t need it. Not only is the watch way more expensive, you have to pay for a multi-sim every month. Not only that, when you purchase Apple through El Corte Ingles, you have 1 year with Apple and El Corte gives you another 2 years. Obviously, many things won't be covered, but this is still better than just one year. So I purchased a watch saving 70€ on Apple prices. Removed my multi-sim, saving nearly 100€ a year, and have 2 extra years of warranty.

Not only this, but the Apple store in Marbella is so busy and so hard to talk to anyone. For years we have always puchased at Apple but from now on will go to El Corte Ingles for the calm, quiet service and the warranty. I think the gentleman's name was Adriel.

I purchased a pair of cream cords from them in Madrid whilst on a weekend break. The shop staff were lovely. I was deciding between a 36 and 38 and I am so pleased I went with the 36 because after one wear they stretch and look absolutely awful. The quality is awful. Going from smart to scruffy within a short amount of time. They look awful. The company offered a refund but I HAVE TO GO TO EITHER MADRID OR BARCELONA. LOL This will cost me at least 15 times the cost of the trousers. They have online, so I do not understand why I cannot send them back. So they give on one hand but take on the other. So, 100€ totally wasted.

Sadly I’m not very happy. I use inpost for Vinted and I feel something bad is happening somewhere. In the same week, one parcel went missing. Another is very serious. I sent an iPad (160€) and there’s a possibility that the iPad has been swapped over for a locked one. The buyer sent the iPad back and it’s not mine. The buyer is adamant this is the iPad she received. I’ve read online on Reddit that this has happened before with inpost. It’s put me off using Vinted and inpost now.

If this is not rectified, I will have no choice but to make a denouncia with the police.

Very good. Easy to use.

We just purchased our second Jensen Bed and we are so happy with it. It looks amazing and is so comfortable and know from experience it will last years.

You can buy cheaper beds, base, mattress & headboard but they will not last as long as these beds. Our first bed is over 10years old and still looks and feels brand new.

Quality sleep is so important, especially as you get older. Cost per sleep over 10 years is nothing (0.82cents per day) (bed cost 3,000€). You spend more on coffee a day.

Great beds. Great service. Highly recommend.

If I could give zero stars, I would.

This year, I decided to buy fewer items but of higher quality. LK Bennett is supposed to be a premium brand, so I expected much better.

Quality of the Shoes:
I bought a pair of LK Bennett shoes in July while visiting the UK. They retail for around €500 where I live, but I found them for £124 on sale in the UK. I bought them specifically for an evening event — just a few hours of standing and sitting.

When I arrived home, I was shocked to see the shoes were already ruined after a single evening’s wear. LK Bennett’s response was that the shoes are “delicate” and that this was my fault. I completely disagree. Shoes, especially at this price point, should be designed to be worn — not fall apart after a few hours. Even budget brands like Primark, Zara, or Mango last far longer under longer periods including dancing all night.

Customer Service:
I contacted LK Bennett immediately and explained the situation. Despite the shoes being clearly faulty, LK Bennett refused to exchange, refund, or even repair them. This is not what I would expect from a brand that markets itself as high-quality and premium. Under UK consumer law, items must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. These shoes clearly do not meet that standard.

Pricing Practices:
Collecting the shoes was also unnecessarily difficult. I was told they had arrived at one store, only to go there and find they hadn’t. Then, at another store, I was excited to see an “extra 20% off sale items” promotion — only to discover the sale prices had been raised beforehand, effectively cancelling out the discount. This might be technically legal, but it feels extremely misleading. To be clear I purchased these for £124 but had to get a refund as the shoes went missing. As I arrived at another store, I was excited to see “EXTRA 20% off”. Therefore taking shoes down to £98. But NO! The price was raised to £164 with the “extra 20% off” taking them to £131 more than I originally paid. Due to having proof of original price - I did get my 20% off the price I paid.

Summary:
I’m left with a pair of shoes that cost £100, worn once and already destroyed, and a brand that refuses to take any responsibility. This is not the quality, transparency, or customer service one expects from LK Bennett.

Right now, my experience has been nothing but disappointment.

I wish I read these reviews. Firstly I called one company for aircon problem. Then I get this company calling me - so the first was subbing it out or they are part of this too. TechnoMarbella is the actual company I called first.

I was told the problem was my electrics and that I needed an electrician. It was odd because the button was not even down/tripped. Sometimes you have to put the buttons on the electric box up slowly.

So they left - paid 118€ and called an electrician. They also left me with zero water too which I managed to fix.

Electrician says no problem with the power going through. It’s all working.

Then another guy comes and says this is a job for Samsung only. The problem is not my electrics box it’s the actual aircon unit.

I think TechnoMarbella could be a scam too. I thought I was calling a proper aircon company but it seems like a call center or it’s all one big scam.

If you have a car to sell, I highly recommend using Compramos Tu Coche.

Quick, easy, efficient service. We were very happy with the price Compramostucoche gave us. They sorted all the paperwork out, and we received the money very quickly.

Highly recommend!
