I have been with this bank for almost 20 years during which time I have dealt with fraud and dodgy tradesmen. The advantage of someone at the end of the phone who speaks decent English and is supportive is like gold dust. Even if they cannot solve the issue, they have forwarded the call on to an appropriate dept. I never feel fobbed off.
The web site provides enough information to address my account queries.
However, purchases on my credit card are sometimes slow to be recorded. Perhaps this could be a bit more instantaneous.
Good on personal loans and terms and conditions.

Hi Mary, thank you so much for the 5-star review. It's great to hear how much you appreciate the service you receive. We have a lot of helpful people over lots of specialist departments so, even if you can't get it from the first person you speak with, you'll always get help from someone. We appreciate the feedback in regard to the credit transactions. It's just the way the y are processed that causes a short delay and unlike the debit card, they won't show the initial authorisation. We are always looking at improving our services and hope it's something we can look at in the future. -Ashley

As Successful transactio

As usual the telephone call and consultation was prompt and covered a good deal of the transaction.
I find F D phone service the best and not frustrating.

Great quality and fun designs

Great quality and fun designs. Generous sizes. Expected smaller sizes due to their origins, so ordered smaller size in later purchases.
Wash well becoming softer with subsequent washes.

Dear Customer,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review — we’re absolutely delighted to hear you’re enjoying the great quality, fun designs, and generous sizing of our shirts!
We’re glad you’ve found the perfect fit, especially after adjusting your size choice based on our cut. While our roots may influence our style, we design with real people in mind — and we’re happy our sizing works well for you.
And yes — we love that the shirts wash well and just keep getting softer with every wear! That’s one of the perks of quality cotton: it breaks in beautifully while holding its shape.
Thanks so much for being a repeat customer and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate your support and can’t wait to see what you order next!
Best regards,
Tokyo-Tiger Customer Service Team

Found access to App the best way to deal with day to day issues.
Phone contact is prompt and help/ advice offered appropriate.
Security issues ie voice recognition never seems to work . Each time it has been set up I need to renew the process at the next phone in.
Concern over fraud has been on trend and useful

Review of Vintage Cash Cow


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

An easy process in selling items Better than auction

The process could have been intimidating but the telephone assessment was reassuring and helped me decide what I could forward to you.
Finding a box big enough was the only problem. I had not expected it to be so heavy! Postage straight forward.
The return phone call was informative but I would have liked to know the value of the more valuable items.

Hi Mary,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of our service.

We are pleased to hear that you found our service accessible and friendly rather than intimidating.

It is good that you felt our postage was easy and phone calls informative.

We appreciate your feedback about the value of some of the items. Unfortunately to keep our service efficient we don't offer individual valuations for all the items in the box.

It would be lovely to work with you again soon.

Best wishes,
Natasha from the Vintage Cash Cow team 💜

Inputting the details required to produce the glasses was relatively straightforward. Some difficulty in getting the PD reading.
Choice of styles varied and the opportunity to “try” for choice.
Good service at a reasonable price
Thank you

Review of Vonhaus


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Disappointing outcome

Your team appeared to understand and respond to my queries and refunds were timely
But
1 subsequent responders to queries did not read the earlier emails hence multiple attempts
2 I had to discard the item bought three years ago as parts were incompatible .
Bought a more reliable make with appropriate spare parts if needed

Would have liked to drop off at local shop and not waste the day waiting for a pick up.
However, pick up generally ok and the download of documents clear and easily competed.
However, the courier’s expectation of documents was not the same as my instruction. He wanted both sheets outside the parcel and not one in and one outside as per the instructions
Otherwise, package taken and additional documentation provided by “office” . Courier professional and clear so hope DHL can clarify for future use. Always would use DHL as the company appears on the ball!

The first apt was cancelled and a new date proposed. The smart meter was installed with no problems.
The meter is showing the readings although I have been informed the energy company has not completely connected up to the device.
I would still like to be able to compare readings over successive months.
