Norfolk and Good

I called to change the delivery postcode, the lady took all the details and said she was leaving work but for the weekend but would pas it on to a colleague for update Saturday morning message. It was delivered to teh original address aka the wrong address.
The delivery was scheduled between 4:17 and 6:17 and it arrived at 2:37 when I wasn't home. If I had been I would have refused the delivery.

Review of Zizzi Ristorante

Gloucester Quayside

Shocking service. Waited and ignore to be seated. Once seated was relocated to make way for a 'big' party. Asked for order but wasn't ready, then kept waiting and waiting for service. Staff are either blind or ignorant.

Review of Creation


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

A technically inept company

A technically inept company. I have two agreements, neither one set up by myself, that was done by the merchant. I log into my account with the same email address and p/w but can only see one agreement. This is because one agreement was set up with the name Chris and the other Christopher. Creation are unable to merge the agreements or amend the user name without, proof of id etc all done by post and the process (advised) can take 3- 4 weeks. So I can't manage my new agreement on line, change direct debit dates/details, check balance etc. etc.

Oldham VW

Oldham VW, utterly useless. Sales team lack product knowledge on EV’s. Make promises that they don’t deliver, i.e. quotes on a range of vehicle options I’m still waiting over 2 weeks later for them to contact me. Their web site is out of date re finance options and T&C’s. Their loss because I took my business elsewhere and bought a car. Seems they can pass up the opportunity of a £40k sale.

Good Morning Chris,

Thank you for your one star review.

I have cascaded this to Senior management within the dealership . We can see you made an enquiry on the 3rd July 2023 and you were dealing with one of our new Salesmen. The range we quoted were the specification of the manufacturer. We are sorry that you were unable to take us up on the offer of a test drive on the day due to not having your drivers license with you on the day .

Thank you for the business opportunity you gave and we trust you are enjoying your new vehicle.

Review of daals


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Unfortunately I can’t give a zero

Unfortunately I can’t give a zero, if I could I would. Items ordered arrive damaged, looked like a return or shop soiled and was missing both arm rest, crucial and integral parts. I was insulted with a 10% price refund to keep but in all honesty I wouldn’t keep it if it was free because it’s useless without the missing parts.

Update….

The 10% being offered was the same as their extra 10% Easter holiday special, so nothing really offered.
I asked for a replacement which I could have providing I disassembled, reboxed and sent them a photo as proof first. Unacceptable customer service, so I’ve changed my mind and gone for a refund. They don’t deserve my business.

Hi Chris,

Thankyou for taking the time to leave us a review, it's much appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear about the damage and missing parts with your order, it's definitely not the standard we would usually expect.

I can see that we initially tried to replace all the missing and damaged parts, unfortunately on this occasion they were out of stock.

I apologise that you felt insulted by the partial refund that was offered, I can see that an exchange has now been authorised.

All the best
Lauren

Too many items out of stock and on next day delivery. No good if it’s a weekend or you’re in the middle of a job.

Review of barstools.co.uk - the bar stool and chair specialist


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great Company

Fantastic choice, great price however best of all is the delivery and communication. Ordered 4 stools which came the next working day, received despatch and delivery information and arrived on time as promised.

One stool slightly faulty but doesn’t spoil the experience. S**t happens, it’s how a company recovers from it that should be the judgement and they were first class with a next day replacement.

I ordered two 2021 graduation charms and received both in plastic bags the size of postage stamps in ONE gift box as if they had come from eBay. I expected two gift boxes which would have both fitted in the outer packaging. How do I give one as a gift as intended without the box.? It looks cheap. Ironically I could have bought the same copied charm with a Chinese origin in silver for £11 instead I paid you £35. Disgusting.

Dear Chris Watkin, Thank you for sharing your opinion here with us and we are very sorry to hear about this situation. At the basket page, customers can request for each item to be individually packaged by ticking “This is a Gift”. If left unticked all items will be packaged together without a gift bag. We will highlight your request further so that a Customer Care Representative can reach out to you in order for you to receive the packaging you need.
We hope this situation has not caused you too much of an inconvenience. We appreciate your patience. Best, Pandora

Review of Boux Avenue Limited


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Boux Avenue is ageist

I was in the Manchester Arndale store on Sunday 4th July at approx12:30 and the assistant asked if I needed some help. I said yes I was looking for some lounge/sleepwear for my wife. I'm 56, my wife is younger and bear with me age is relevant here. The assistant asked me how old my wife was. I said 'why what does that have to do with anything'. So the assistant replied, 'we don't sell things for the older end of the market' (I kid you not). At that point I think she knew she'd f'd up so in an attempt to recover she followed it up with "I'm having the same problem trying to buy something for my mums birthday" at that point I told her to forget it and complained, recounting my tale to (the only black lady in the store at the time (not that colour matters, but it may identify the individuals)) lady who 'looked' like she might me in charge. I got a feeble insincere apology, I was never asked to identify the assistant and I don't think for on second she really cared.

Hello Chris,

Thank you for your review.

Please accept our sincere apologies for this recent experience at our Manchester Arndale store. As I am sure you will appreciate, this is most definitely not what we wish for our customers here at Boux Avenue. Providing exceptional customer service at all times is something that we pride ourselves on and this includes any situation or experience that may arise in our stores.

Please be reassured that our products are suitable for all ages and we do not approve of this store agent's comments. This will be fed back to the Area Manager and Operations Manager to discuss. Thank you for highlighting this and as stated, it really is never our intention to upset our customers and this will be dealt with accordingly.

Once again our sincerest apologies for the negative experience.

Kind regards,

Boux Avenue Customer Services

Review of Crocs

What an utter shocking company to buy…

What an utter shocking company to buy from. One star because I can't give them a zero. Bought a pair of Crocs on line and decided to cancel the purchase within 10 mins (as per remote selling 'cooling off' period) and was told it was too late as the order had been processed. Arranged a returns on line and I'm still waiting for the 'how to return' e mail almost 4 weeks later. After several e mails they tell me that they are really busy satisfying orders and I will have to wait, meanwhile they have me money which I want back. Do not buy direct from Croc’s.

This is a company that attempts to deceive it's customers. The Dec 18 web page states up to 30% off 2018 bikes. Great? Not so great because they just change all the models I.e. The Brompton range to 2019 when clearly the same models were and are for sale at exactly the same price as they were last week when they were the 2018 model !! Can't wait for them to go bust so that the customer can pick up a 'real' 'fire sale' bargain.

Poor despatch service

Poor despatch service, not as promised on the web page in actual fact despatched 3 - 4 days later that promised. If you want it quickly pay for premium service otherwise shop elsewhere.
