Please be wary when signing up with this company. I was given incorrect advice regarding a tracker. If I had been given the correct advice I would never have signed up with them. Cancelling was a nightmare. They required the tracker back or would charge me for someone to come and remove it but couldn't tell me where in the vehicle it had been installed. A very unpleasant experience.

Dear Chris,

Thank you for your review.

We are very sorry to hear that you were not provided with the correct advice regarding the tracker and that you had experienced issues when wanting to cancel.

This is most certainly not what we wish for our customers to experience here at Radius.

Please be assured that we will be providing feedback based on your review, to ensure that we are providing a high level of customer service moving forward.

Kind regards,
The Radius Team

Review of Homewindows

Very poor experience with this company

Very poor experience with this company. The sales team were helpful but from there nothing went right. The windows and doors were delivered and the delivery driver stated he didn't unload. I was left to unload the whole delivery. Next the fitters didn't turn up after us taking time off work. After fitting four windows they didn't return for several weeks. Then they realised a door was not ordered. This arrived the following week and was the wrong size. Finally got the doors fitted in June. Work quality is ok. Just ok. Don't bother complaining. They weren't interested.

Absolutely shocking customer service

Absolutely shocking customer service. A straightforward delivery update was met with a totally uncalled for reaction. This guy hasn't grasped that without customers he has no business.
And his response to this speaks volumes.

Hi Chris, I'm going through the 3 email chains you had with us and I am struggling to find the uncalled for reaction?

Email from you on the 28th of February: "Hi. I ordered the n5 on the 13th of February and was enquiring if you had any idea of a delivery date. It's the Chinese variant."

Our response (12 minutes later): all orders ship by the 7th March

If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us by either replying to this email or using the links provided below.

Kind regards,
Mike

Email from you on the 6th of March at 15.49: "Could you possibly give me an update of when my N5 will actually ship. A tracking number does not give this information until FedEx actually have the item."

Our response (18 minutes later): Hi there,

Your order is in pre shipment status and is currently being prepared for shipping, which includes packing the device,
attaching labels, and final quality checks, but it hasn't been handed over to the delivery carrier yet. This is a normal part of the
shipping process, and you can expect to see movement on your tracking number soon.
Please keep an eye out for a separate email containing your tracking information if you have not already received it.

If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us by either replying to this email or using the links provided below.

Kind regards,
Samantha

Your response (10 minutes later): "I'm sorry but that is an ambiguous response. You haven't given me any actual information. I ordered this on the 13th of February and there was no mention that after the tracking number was provided there would be another delay. A tracking number in normal circumstances means it has been posted. Not that a label has been printed."

Our response (2 hours later): I understand Chris, the phone was not released for sale until 2/26 so it was pre ordered at that point in time. I can not predict when the package will be picked up by FedEx, all that I am able to tell you is that they are in the process of getting your order ready to ship, and once it has been scanned at the FedEx facility the tracking will update. Please be patient as they are making their way through several hundred orders for this device alone.

If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us by either replying to this email or using the links provided below.

Kind regards,
Samantha

Your response (50 minutes later): "I appreciate what you are saying but it is misleading to promise a tracking number that is in reality just a label and does not relate to tracking at all as FedEx hadn't even received the item."

Our response (10 mins later): Hey, how is it misleading?? the timescales are very clear on the website! we add the tracking to these phones as they are so popular and Fedex will only take 50 per day from our supplier so do not QUESTION HOW WE DO THINGS.

Kind regards,
Mike

The final chain was us emailing you initially about timescales on the 6th of March at 15.46, to which you replied: "Mine was ordered on the 13th Feb and I have a tracking number but FedEx do not have the item. Can you please confirm when they will have it to actually ship."

We replied (1 1/2 hours later): order being shipped tomorrow 👍

If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us by either replying to this email or using the links provided below.


Kind regards,
Mike

We were very cordial with you across all 3 email chains, whereas your emails appear to be quite barbed, Sam tried her best to explain in great detail our process for the N5 and Mike gave you a direct answer. Neither of these approaches seemed to satisfy you.

Thank you for your feedback though, we will endeavor to try and create a 3rd approach of customer service for customers such as yourself.

Yet another unhappy customer

I bought a head unit for Mercedes Vito. Arrived promptly and looked good. No legible instructions so had to.pay to have it installed. The unit has failed so they instructed me to return it which I promptly did but it arrived back within 48 hours still broken. Now I cannot get any response. Totally ignored all my attempts to get a solution. Beware.
Update to previous post. They have now replied saying it's out of warranty. It's hardly been used so obviously an issue with it. They have now blocked me for the audacity of complaining. Terrible after sales.

Review of Domino's Pizza

Buy one get one free

Upon visiting Tenby dominoes and ordering two medium pizzas I was advised to use the buy one get one free offer. A bargain I thought until I realised I had been charged 23 pound. What a rip off. Since when did a medium sized pizza cost 23 pounds. Never ever again.

Hilarious how this app is open to scams. I can honestly say I have never used it once in a number of years and had a genuine seller. Steer well clear.

Be very very careful buying on here

Be very very careful buying on here. It is rife with scammers. I report each one as I come across them but weeks later they are still there. Nothing seems to be done about them. Rule of thumb is use a method of payment that protects you other say goodbye to your money.

All the negative things I had heard…

All the negative things I had heard about we buy any car were all proved correct at my recent visit to them. I had a reasonable qoute from them of 16000 on a vauxhall less than a year old. In minutes there had it down to 14750. The car was as close to new as you could find. They were knocking 70 pounds off for numerous marks that I rubbed off with my thumb. Never ever again.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, Chris. We're very sorry for any disappointment caused, that certainly wasn't our intention.

Our online valuations are based purely on the information you enter online. The aim of the onsite appraisal is indeed to confirm if the vehicle matches the description given online.

Within the terms of the guarantee, it does state ‘if there are any discrepancies between your car and the details you gave us, or, if during the inspection, we discover something about the car that we were not previously made aware of, we may have to make an amendment to your quote.’ It appears whilst inspecting your vehicle the description did not match that provided online. This resulted in us needing to adjust the price we could offer you.

Experience tells us damage (scratches/chips/dents) on a vehicle along with missing items do affect the value of the car and subsequently affects the resale value. Our fully trained buyers therefore always carry out a thorough inspection in order to provide an accurate price.

We use exactly the same pricing system on our website as our buyers do in branch. Therefore if the condition/details of the car entered online matches our assessment of your car, then we offer a price which matches the online valuation. However if the details provided online are not accurate this will affect the final price offered.

We've taken a closer look at this for you, however and have found that when you obtained your online valuation, you didn't input the condition of your vehicle and as such, this was recorded by our buyer at your appointment and your valuation was amended accordingly.

Thanks,
The WBAC Team

Top spec boilers

Top spec boilers. Superior to several of the top priced boilers that seem to get all the praise.

I'm afraid I have had the same…

I'm afraid I have had the same experience as the other people on this page. I purchased a camera lens from this company 2 years ago. It was a bargain price and although it took a while to arrive it did eventually. I therefore had no qualms using them again. What a difference.... no reply from my emails for week after week. Eventually some daft story of stock being stolen...then... nothing. No refund, no response, nothing. I'm warning people now. Please don't fall for this like I did.
