The same tracking message, ‘The parcel is stored in the parcel center,’ has appeared every day for the past week with no real update. It’s frustratingly vague, especially when DPD usually delivers next day.

Review of Teslary
The accessory that arrived wasn’t as good as I’d hoped, though not completely unusable. I didn’t receive any reply through their website chat which ruined the overall experience for me.
Review of Baseus
The earbuds stopped working after a month. I unpaired then paired again with phone and they seem to work again, but I haven't experienced this with other earbuds so I deduct one star for that. I will update review if it becomes an ongoing problem but hopefully just a one-off problem.
Below were my initial impressions:
I got Baseus Bowie MC1 Pro Open-Ear TWS Earbuds directly from the website, though interestingly they seem to send through Amazon which is reassuring, as well as they had a delivery promise option for a small fee. The headphones fidelity I find outstanding, plus good comfort for wearing all day. Excellent battery life for such a tiny thing. And they are waterproof which makes them unique. I've tried other headphones form factor and this open ear style is far superior for my needs compared the format of the typical brands.
Review of track718.us
Website said delivered after month of waiting and dodgy updates such as being transferred within my country about 5 times which never happened with any other courier. Nothing actually was delivered though.
Review of Spkluv
I ordered a product from Spkluv after finding it via Google search—at a price three times cheaper than competitors. However, the tracking email linked to the notoriously unreliable track718.us, and after waiting over a month for shipment from China, the physical item never arrived
Review of Vodafone Ireland
Been a happy broadband customer for last few decades. I see improvements over the years, such as the new SIRO network, and generally recommend them to others. Interactions with customer service have been good in my case
Review of Electric Ireland
Been a reasonably satisfied customer for over 30 years in different properties , though I haven't had to use customer service much and I was able to afford the cost
Review of Kilsaran
A Kilsaran delivery driver in my area, in their concrete supply truck with Kilsaran logo on it, is rude and drives dangerously too. I witness regularly and am amazed that Kilsaran either don't know about him by now or don't care. The concrete products themselves are innovative and popular so it is unfortunate
Review of Maps Google
They censor my most negative reviews but post my neutral, mildly negative or positive reviews of places in Google maps. In fairness to Google maps it does have positive aspects though, like photos of everywhere and somewhat accurate routing compared to other apps
Review of Grundfos
Noisy pump that sounds like a door slamming downstairs followed by sounds of aliens communicating. If dishwasher is running it will sip water every few minutes which makes the Groundfos start up and yelp each time. Makes my insomnia worse. Many complaints from neighbors with same pump brand, some desparate

Review of Amazon.co.uk
Compared to all other companies, I have found Amazon to be amazing. Delivery, returns, friendliness, quality. Quality will depend on brand for example so choose carefully. Not the cheapest only occasionally, so they could consider a price policy to match prices
Review of TP Link
Mesh routers working extremely well for past year. Support were helpful when setting up
Review of Nolantransport
Seen a worse than average, obviously extremely poorly trained, downright dangerous trucker of this firm's vehicle, An evil hazard to others he was. Look at legal proceedings againsg them too such as recent newspaper report "Nolan Transport family members wanted to mask intention to use pension funds to pay debts, High Court finds" - Irish Times
Review of Trustpilot
As of January 2024 compare discrepancies between reviews on Google maps, like Pinergy Ireland utility company, which proclaims proudly it's corporate ties with Trustpilot on its front webpage, and where Pinergy gets a happyclappy 4.5 out of 5 stars yet just 2.7 stars on Google reviews with which Pinergy doesn't have as strong corporate ties.
My experience of Trustpilot singling out for censoring my slightly embarrassing review of another company that also has corporate ties with Trustpilot would explain this discrepancy to my current knowledge. None of my Google reviews have been censored by comparison.
Trustpilot would likely say that Google reviews are less verified compared to its rules. However I have found it beneficial to check ratings on both websites for a fuller picture of a company's behaviour rather than trusting Trustpilot alone
Review of Andersen EV
The only beautiful charger on the market to my eyes. And customer service sent a firmware "over the air" update for a request I made. They were most helpful. I am so delighted. Works perfectly with Tesla also

Review of eFlow
One of their phone lines claims open except bank holidays yet they are closed Friday December 23 but it is not a bank holiday (edit: reply says they were open, but they were not when I phoned early in the day even though it was during the opening hours suggested by the phone line robot). Will Eflow pay a penalty for this? No. Can I pay online a penalty? No because they have to snail mail a journey number for me to pay. Who may or may not deliver this snail mail? The same government that receives some of the money from penalties. Big conflict of interest and extraordinary technical backwardness all wrapped into one

I found this plumber talented, experienced and hardworking. I would use again
Review of KORE Retrofit
Didn't show up to initial appointment even. No follow up. Nothing except fake appointment arrangement confirmations by email. Somewhat untrustworthy and disorganized if they can't even manage an appointment system. It's even more annoying because I had to wait a long time just for an initial appointment and had to fill out an online form with what felt like 40 questions. Electric Ireland Superhomes were at least reasonably honest by comparison, though my subjective impression is the entire one-stop-shop insulation industry has generally a careless attitude, because so few of them exist I guess, therefore little competition. I did see Kore doing public advertising after my experience which I thought strange thing to need to do with over a year lead times being quoted to me by Electric Superhomes for example

I sometimes wondered if Lorraine is actually an angel
Review of Screwfix
So far my experiences buying at the store have been positive. Nice selection, handy website, reasonable prices and superb time to have ready for collection. I wish more of the items were in stock not just own brand
