Review of Calsport


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great price & great service!

I bought a pair of Rizoma RS Radial mirrors in black for my latest bike. These are my favourite mirrors. I don't particularly like the look of bar-end mirrors & certainly not the Micky Mouse-ear OEM type. I preffer the traditional look. I have these fitted to my 2013 Bonneville, 2020 RE Interceptor & now my 2020 CCM Spitfire Bobber.
The only downside I have is that they are very expensive, but having said that, they are of exceptional quality & work very well!
I bought them from Calsport because they were offering them at the best price. They arrived relatively quickly & were easy to order online.

Review of Emerald Struts Ltd


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A new pair of tailgate struts for…

I bought a pair of tailgate struts for my 2009 Mini Cooper S R56 because I liked the idea of my tailgate opening on the press of a button.
Online ordering was easy. Emerald Struts kept me up to date with my order & I had a tracking number for the package. It arrived very quickly & the struts were well packaged. Installation was relatively quick & easy.
Now, my tailgate opens automatically at the touch of a button. That's great, but the only downside is now I need both hands to shut it! Pushing down against the new struts is noticeably more difficult, which I guess is understandable.

Review of Electrical World


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Watch out you don't have to return anything!

I ordered x4 T4 slimline flourescent tubes. Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong length & they turned out to be 10mm too short!
I requested a return following Electrical World's instructions given on their website. This was easy to do & Electrical World provide a pre-paid delivery label via Royal Mail service.
I had to wait two weeks after Electrical World received the return before I received a refund. To my horror, Electrical World had deducted a fortune for the cost of the return, which equated to half the cost of the order. If I had have known that they do this, I would have used Royal Mail's 24hr Tracked & Signed for service for a cheaper price!
Not a pleased customer, who will be shopping elsewhere..

Review of PANZERA Watches


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent watch. Love it!

I bought the Panzera Flieger 46 silver case with black rubber strap & red stitching. I love the look of this watch. Its bold & chunky with an easy to read face. The 3-line date is easy to read even when the hands are at the 3.15 position. The silicone rubber strap is very flexible & comfortable to wear. The watch looks really classy & oozes quality! So far the automatic movement has kept perfect time.
My only very slight gripe is that the clear back case doesn't really have anything impressive to show. You can see the automatic movement but it looks very plain.
I live in the UK & ordered my watch directly off the Panzera website, who kept me up-to-date with regular tracking updates. Shipping only took about 7 days, which I think was great considering the journey it made!

Review of Range and Country Shooting Supplies


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

My favourite RFD!

Amongst other items, I've now bought my fourth rifle from Range & Country Shooting Supplies. I find their prices are very competitive & their service is excellent. Its so convenient having your new rifle delivered directly to your door without incurring the additional RFD costs.
This month, I took advantage of their free delivery option for my new rifle & together with my money-off points accrued from my previous purchases, made it such a blinding deal!
Deliveries are normally done by Peter, or Lawrence. Both top blokes & do their best in providing a great service. Well done

First class service!

This has been the third PCP rifle that I've purchased from Range & Country. I find their prices are very competitive, especially when you factor in that they're prepared to deliver directly to your door.
Peter has delivered my rifles to me in Bournemouth on the South coast. He is a friendly chap & eager to help.
First class service, thank you!

Review of Range and Country Shooting Supplies


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great price, great service!

I was looking to purchase this particular model PCP rifle & I found that Range and Country Shooting Supplies had it in stock at the most competitive price. I sent a couple of emails to them prior to purchase just to confirm it was the exact model I wanted & they replied to my emails promptly with the answers I needed.
I found it very convenient paying on line via PayPal as they offered me 4 months interest free credit. But the most convenient option is Range and Country offer store to your door delivery for airguns, which cost a reasonable £20. Otherwise, when buying airguns there is usually a transfer charge for sending to a local RFD of £20 plus, another £30 by the receiving RFD. In some cases these RFD transfer fees can be more.
I live on the south coast, about a 5 hour drive away from their store, so I chose their store to door option.
Range and Country Shooting Supplies kept me up to date with when they could arrange delivery. Peter, the chap who delivered my rifle in the evening was very pleasant. He telephoned me the day before delivery to let me know when he could deliver & he was even prepared to meet me at work. All he required was ID.
When I received the rifle, it was fully charged with air & I could see that it had been tested with a check list & chrono' report of the power output.
So, all in all, I'm very pleased with my rifle & the service I received from Range and Country. Well done!

Worth a Try!

I was looking to buy a pair of 'Motion Pro' tyre & beadbreaker levers but saw these 'VEVOR Tire Changing Tool, Tire Iron Set, 2pcs Motorcycle Tire Irons, which looked exactly the same as the Motion Pro's but at a fraction of the cost. I decided to give them a try & was impressed because I found Vevor kept me up to date throughout the order, dispatch & delivery process of the items. They only took a few days to arrive too. So, all in all, I was very satisfied with their service. Thank you

Review of Outfox Energy


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I used the on-line chat

I used the on-line chat. I had to wait because I was 6 in the queue. I wanted to request a reduction in the review to my monthly DD. Due to the recent price increases OFTM wanted to increase my monthly DD by £80. I felt that this didn't consider that my account was always in credit & currently over £200 in credit. The customer advisor was careful in explaining how OFTM wanted to avoid my request to reduce my DD. However, the advisor must have taken into consideration that I always provide my monthly meter readings & always maintain my account in credit because they agreed to increase my monthly DD by a more reasonable £65, rather than £80,

Reply from Outfox Energy

Hi there Gerry,

Thank you for your review. We understand your frustration. Due to the price increase, we must ensure that your account has a healthy balance to act as a buffer and your current DD will be able to cover your future bills based on your energy consumption. Therefore, we retain credit that is set based on the market price and your annual consumption for the past 1-2 years. We do normally conduct Direct Debit reviews every 3-6 months on all accounts to ensure that you’re paying the right amount for your energy. Please do see clause 12.1.4 under our Terms and Conditions.

Regardless, we are glad that our team member is able to explain the situation to you during your recent contact with us. Thank you and have a great day!

Regards,
Team OTM.

Excellent service!

Excellent service. I received my stamp the very next day to my exact requirements without any fuss. Very quick service indeed. My only slight reservation is that your prices aren't the most competitive. But I guess if you want speed & quality, use these guys!

Review of Tredz


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Since getting back into cycling.....

Since getting into cycling, I've bought a few items from Tredz & that includes a brand new Mondraker Panzer R e-fatbike.
I find that their prices are normally very competitive & they dispatch their items out very quickly. The process of buying the new bike was very easy. I simply selected the bike, chose 0% interest free credit over 3 years, which was approved there & then after completing the on-line application and that was it. 8 days later my new bike arrived well packaged via courier. The bike was very safely protected in its box & after unpacking it, it was easy to put the pedals on & straighten the bars. Tredz included all the necessary easy to follow instructions, manuals & even the tools to do the job in a handy bag.
I must say, Tredz continued to keep me up to date throughout the progress of my order with emails & a telephone call confirming the delivery day of my bike. I would definately recommend checking out tredz before you buy your new bike or accessories. I just wish I lived closer to their showrooms, i'd love to take a browse round!

Review of TicTacArea.com


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great service & a great watch at a bargain price!

I live in the UK & purchased a TW Steel Volante watch from TicTacArea.com because they were selling this particular watch at a much better price than anywhere else that I could find. They have some good reviews & promise to give good service therefore I trusted my purchase with them. The watch arrived safely with me in the UK 15 days from when I placed the order. The watch was brand new in its presentation box, complete with its authentication tag & protective covers still attched. I was pleased to find that TicTacArea,com had even gift wrapped the item for me. Thank you! My experience has been good & would certainly recommend Tic Tac Area to anyone else.

I've bought quite a few items from Toolstation because I find that in a lot of cases their prices are very good compared to other similar outlets. I live just over the road from my nearest Toolstation too, which is handy for me!
The only slight gripe I have is that in a few cases they're out of stock of some of their items -even when showing on line that they have stock. I've noticed that this is happenenig to other customers too. Perhaps you should review your stocking system!
Sometimes, especially at weekends, you have to queue to be served but I guess this is the same at the other similar outlets too. Toolstation are certainly worth a look, being able to view & order on line is convenient too.

I've placed a few seperate orderes now for 6' LED tubes with LightBulbs Direct & I must say that their prices are very competitive & their delivery times are excellent. Unfortunately, their packaging is very poor. I know that 6' glass tubes must be one of the worst things to send by courier, but please at least put them in a rigid cardboard container, not just a flimsy cardboard box! Most of my seperate orders were received broken, but they do send out replacements quickly. Thanks LightBulbs Direct!
