Easy ordering from great Bramblecrest website, which details the various parasol models and options. Delivery was within declared timeframe, for which in this heat we are grateful. The high quality 3 x 3 Ely parasol with rolling granite base was simple to assemble, and up and shading us in no time at all.

Purely Nutrient Ethiopian Black Seed Oil is a scam. The company deliberately misleads its customers. You do not get 60 capsules as stated in the advertised pictures. You only get 30. I ordered the three jars plus two free. I got 5 x 30 for UK @ £90.

The standard jar costs £27.90, which equals £0.93 per capsule, or bloody expensive @ £1.86 per day, for just 15 days. That rate is equal to £55.80 per month! Seriously? This is also (UK consumer laws)misrepresentation.

The company also ropes customers into a subscription that is not readily apparent when purchasing. Customers then get billed without realising their obligation. Even after cancelling, the company ignores the request and keeps on billing. I cancelled my card to be sure.

I have been conned.

When you complain, they only answer the first message, then ignore you.

Do not waste your money, or be taken in by the hype. Amazon sell 120 Alpha Zero One Black Seed Oil capsules for under £10. The THQ (thymoquinone) is around 2%, the industry standard.

Do not waste your money.

Delivery was well within allotted time slot. Nice chap, who also actually ring the doorbell, unlike the lazy Evri drivers who just chuck on doorstep...too lazy to even ring the bell.

As others have stated, avoid this company at all costs because they will take your money, confirm your order and delivery dates, but then leave you hanging waiting for delivery. The only way to complain is via email. There is no contact number, despite the terms and conditions stating that one can call or email the firm to complain. In my view, based upon my experience, Kitchen Box should be avoided like the plague.

The first I knew that the goods I ordered (a Miele freezer, well under list price) would not be delivered was when I received notification from Kitchen Box of a refund this morning. There was no prior communication to inform me that they could not maintain their contract. If a company takes your money, telling you that the goods you ordered have been dispatched, and then for some reason decide not to deliver, then that is a breach of contract.

Looking at the negative reviews on this page, it’s obvious that something is wrong with the way that this company does business. They really let me down, but I suppose I was lucky to get a refund.

NB
I have since further considered the business methods of Kitchen Box; I now believe that they are operating a scam. As with other reviewers’ experiences, they take your money for apparently in stock items, but then inexplicably give a late delivery date. My notice of refund was only given on the date of the expected delivery. This implies they are taking customers’ money, banking it, and then using the funds as cheap monthly capital, only refunding by the late delivery date to avoid scrutiny by trading standards officers. Just a thought!

AVOID! - AVOID! - AVOID!

In relation to my experiences, Notino operates by ignoring consumer protection regulations in relation to its website product information. Goods must be as described, including when sold via website imagery and descriptions. Not so with Notino! Apparently, it is okay to offer goods for sale that do not conform to the image of the product, or its description. In my case, I ordered six cans of Old Spice Wolfthorn 48 Hour body spray. There are several products and sizes of products in the range: one can buy Wolfthorn in either 24 Hour or 48 Hour freshness, and in either 150ml or 250ml XLLL sizes. I ordered the 150ml, 48 Hour product, but received the 24 Hour product, which is noticeably weaker than the 48 Hour version. I complained because I had not received the product ordered.

Notino refused to accept the goods back based upon their paying for the return postage. I argued that the mistake was their fault; however, Notino insisted that the product had been “innovated“, and that it was now no longer available despite the fact that the confirmation order detailed the 48 hour product, which was of an entirely different design of canister. They insisted that the product was the same and that I would enjoy it! Bloody cheek!

A number of emails ensued, but the company would not budge and would not accept that they are in breach of the consumer protection regulations by offering products that do not match the description in their website imagery or details. As this is not much money, I’m not bothered to continue to argue with them; however, I’m putting this notice on Trustpilot because I believe people should know that this company is not prepared to go the “extra mile” for its customers. In the event, I went with another company who provided the Old Spice product I wanted i.e. 6 cans of Old Spice Wolfthorn 48 Hour Freshness 150ml. This was exactly the same product I ordered from Notino, but who sent me a different version because they thought I wouldn’t notice or care. in all the circumstances, Notino attempted to deceive me, and then dug a deeper hole by continuing to claim that the products I wanted were no longer available, despite them listing the correct product on their website and the image provided in the order confirmation.

I will not order from this company again. Cowboys.

Excellent service from &Sons. Fast delivery, often less than two days from ordering. Keep it going!

Once again, excellent and speedy service from &Sons who supplied me with their perfectly fitting Bomber jacket. Overall, very pleased, but: please include a hanging loop as a design mod!

Super-fast delivery, comprehensive stock, including plenty of older Bathstore parts

A varied and superbly tailored clothing range, which actually fits me off the peg. Very fast delivery, often next day. Good discounts for loyal (Pioneer) customers.

Simple, fast, easy to update details.

Really fast delivery of my Mason Club summer shirt in blue. Superb tailoring, perfect fit, very happy with this item and all my &Sons clothing. Previous purchases include: Drover Boots in brown, Baker Boy Cap in charcoal, Coast Shirt in army green, Logger Shirt in red. Great kit!

Warning! Do not buy from Desertcart!

They unlawfully disguise their “Pro” membership behind standard terms and conditions, going on to charge you £179 for subscribing, when you did nothing of the sort. They offer free shipping from anywhere in the world, but behind what is too good to be true, is a ruthless business model run by Rahul Swaminathan and Nihal Taj.

There are thousands of complaints online from customers whose cards have been unlawfully charged the subscription fee. Not just UK, but globally. DO NOT BE DUPED INTO BUYING GOODS WITH “FREE SHIPPING” FROM DESERTCART. Think!

You buy, say, a pair of cheapish headphones costing under £20. You take the free shipping from, say, USA. You pay your money to the drop shipper and the goods arrive. One month later you are hit for £179! Why would you knowingly buy goods for £20, knowing that to do so will in future cost you £179? Rest my case…a scam company out to steal as much as possible from innocent consumers until they get wound up.

Check out “Pissed Consumer”. You’ve been warned!

Great ethos! Traditional clothing, good range with timeless appeal. Just love my flat cap. Will buy something else in new year.

Storage Works at Old Sarum run a very well organised business with seven day access. It is simple to arrange storage, easy to access lock-ups with very helpful staff. The site is clean, warm and dry, carpeted throughout with easy to use lifts and useful transport trolleys to hand. Competitive pricing. Highly recommended.

Wessex Water have consistently provided an excellent service.

When the pandemic struck, as many others, I fell into debt and suffered from ill health. I opted to go on a metered supply to save money. As WW stated, I immediately saved a great deal, my water bill falling at times when away a lot to just £7 per month; I now pay just £19.50 and some three times less than the standard monthly charge. I remember the water meter installer as a great guy, really nice to talk to.

They often put out helpful flyers, and their public website is choc full of interesting advice and well-written explanations about matters more technical.

If you read this review, and have been wondering about changing to a metered supply, where you are a small family you should save a considerable amount. Of course, self-control and water use go hand in hand. Thing is, I never left the tap running when cleaning my teeth - good habit! Further, as I have a power-shower, I am acutely aware of how much water I could consume; once again, it’s about self-control.

I usually shower in less that 2 minutes: 1) Get in cubicle, stand away, turn on water, as soon as warming get under; 2) Soak, then turn off water- 30 secs! 3) Shampooing and soaping with shower off - always. 4) Thorough body rinse - 1 min! 5) Spray with Cif for showers ‘Power and Shine’; 6) Using hand shower, rinse off and squeegee down - 1min 45 secs. Easy. I’m clean, and no cleaner than someone who just stands for ages getting warm. By being frugal in other areas, such as: not flushing every pee, washing larger loads, not running tap too hard when washing up, not using dishwasher for a few items, buying higher eco-rated machines, shallow kettle, water butts, etc-etc we can all save a bomb and our reservoirs.

No hesitation in giving a 5 star rating to Wessex Water.

Simple, effective bike insurance. Easy online purchase. Highly competitive premiums, saved on comprehensive “add-ons” and £££s cheaper than existing insurer.

Really nice socks, great website with fast delivery. Very pleased with my purchases.

Prompt, courteous, friendly service. Better than DPD!

As others have said, great marketing - poor customer service. One cannot call to request an exchange, all done via email, via China no doubt. I did not know I was buying direct from China, as would never have ordered - so many scams etc.

So, I received my Baerskin yesterday, after around 3 weeks of waiting - too long. It is a size L, and is way too large measuring 25” wide across the chest. I do not have a 50” chest! Additionally, the sleeves are so-o-o long, and far too wide in the lower sleeve. In windy weather this garment will billow, as the hood is also massively too big, the peak thingy just pointless as not wired.

I want to be fair, so will return for a size M. That said, 2 emails so far - one to the support site, the other to Stephanie in support. So far, no response. I’ll give it a while longer, or it’ll be a bigger complaint.

I have had a succession of Phillips Aquatouch shavers, all of which failed after around 18 months of light use. All were well looked after, and cleaned and dried after use.

Whereas, I can only state my general experience in relation to shaver products, Phillips tend not to quibble if the product fails within the two-year warranty period. In the (likely) event of obvious electrical/mechanical failure, Phillips will issue a new, equivalent shaver; however, as is normal, your warranty will still be based upon the original purchase date. In my view, the durability of Phillips Shavers is the issue, not the service response.

I believe Phillips could do better; the fact that all my shavers failed, within 12-18 months of purchase, or warranty replacement, is appalling. If a purchaser knew that their £70 Phillips Aquatouch shaver was only going to last for 1-2 years, I doubt whether many would buy this brand. If it isn’t the battery, it is the circuit board or motor; just not good enough. For these reasons, I do not recommend the Aquatouch “Wet and Dry” models - they are just not durable enough.
