Delivered in a timely manner and called by 2 staff members as one size was not available.

For the garden only

Advice always available at hand if needed. Only problem is you could over spend. Left eating beans til pay day. Anything I bought plants brilliantly.

Two of the raspberries plants didn't grow at all. Seasoned grower. Strawberries were good.

Important to support local businesses

A bit pricey so wouldn't spend too much.

Terrible customer service, rude and totally unaware of Irish law. They sent me something different than what I ordered. They then told me it was more or less the same item. They don't understand the products they sell. I told them I couldn't use the item they sent and they informed me they wanted a restocking. Showers of money grabbing people who don't care about customers in Ireland. Avoid - deal with at your peril

For 17 years, the “cattle mart” atmosphere of our A&E departments has not improved — in many ways, it has become worse. What is happening in 2026 should shame every level of health service management and government oversight.
Why are patients expected to sit for 12+ hours on hard plastic chairs?
If these chairs are acceptable for sick, vulnerable patients, perhaps hospital managers and senior decision-makers should use them in their own offices every day.
Why are A&E waiting rooms still functioning like temporary COVID tents years later?
What was once presented as an emergency measure appears to have become the accepted standard of care.
How has it become normal for patients to receive treatment in chairs instead of beds?
Just before my son’s Leaving Certificate in 2025, he spent 30 hours receiving treatment in a chair. He lost over a stone in a single week. No patient should endure that level of neglect and exhaustion.
Why is there only one chair outside resuscitation in May 2026?
Families waiting through the worst moments of their lives deserve basic dignity and somewhere humane to sit.
Why are ambulance crews forced to queue for trolley space?
It is common to see six or more trolleys lined up waiting for placement. Ambulance staff then have to search for another trolley just to transfer patients. This level of dysfunction delays ambulances from returning to emergency calls and places the public at risk.
Why is there often only one spare trolley available in resuscitation?
In May 2026, we waited nearly two hours because the final trolley had to be kept available for emergencies. This is not safe healthcare delivery.
I have been bringing relatives to A&E departments for 17 years.
It was a hellhole then, and in many ways it is worse now. People who worked hard, paid taxes, and contributed to society all their lives are told they are “lucky” to receive treatment in a chair. That should never be considered acceptable healthcare.
People experiencing mental health crises deserve privacy and dignity.
Hearing vulnerable people openly expressing suicidal thoughts in overcrowded waiting rooms was heartbreaking. They deserve compassionate care in a safe and private environment — not chaos and noise.
Elderly patients are routinely overlooked and neglected.
I cannot count the number of times I have had to help elderly patients while attending with my own relatives — helping them get water, retrieve phones, or attract staff attention. Seeing older people left in soiled clothing or sheets is utterly heartbreaking. They did not choose illness or frailty. The very least they deserve is dignity, humanity, and basic care.
The standard of food provided is appalling.
I have relatives currently admitted in May 2026 and have witnessed the same issues repeatedly over many years, including September 2025. Much of the food is tasteless, inedible, and thrown away. Public hospitals can provide good nutrition — the Rotunda proves that. Poor catering standards should not be accepted as inevitable.
Staff are working in impossible conditions.
Healthcare workers are forced to walk sideways through overcrowded corridors while managing aggression, intoxicated patients, and relentless pressure. It must be an exhausting and distressing environment to work in. Staff deserve far better support and working conditions.
These failures are not new — they reflect 17 years of systemic dysfunction.
This is not simply a staffing issue or seasonal pressure. It is a long-standing systemic failure in healthcare delivery. Patients, staff, and communities are being failed year after year, while the same conditions continue unchecked.

Love the products, really suit my skin. I love the samples and little gift bags. But holy crap the prices are steep. I ordered my mother a serum and it was €108, that's nearly half a pension in Ireland. It's 2026, when everything is so expensive in this country.

10 of out 10 for marketing. 1 of out 10 for product. I ordered it for my mam. Product is chinese so you won't know what's in it. They may have a "registered "location in Switzerland but that's probably a virtual office to fool customers. It's Chinese Shein/Temu rubbish. Unregulated chemistry. I actually saw a video of a chinese town painting a barren mountain green with paint to pretend it was healthy, as the inspector only checked from the road. That's the extent some people go to fool others. It's on YouTube. After that I bought nothing from China that touched my body or my family.

You get great freebies.

Tin for your collagen.

You can't go wrong. Am only a week in, so too early to notice any difference. You can add the collagen to your coffee which is ideal for me.

Bought a bag as a gift back in early November. 23/12/25 ,and has arrived. Their tortoises are working overtime and I should get it in another 2 or 3 weeks.
If you can't cope with business online. Just stop. Because I wouldn't buy the brand again EVER. I had to go to Next and a gift was delivered 2 days.

If any business uses GLS, i won't buy from you anymore.
They should be embarrassed by their appalling business conduct.
In 2 months:
They don't reply to people looking to source a delivery
They don't even allow you to talk. The phone is cut dead.
Emails are ignored.
Biggest shower of wasters.

Update: Nothing

CEO & Managers you don't cherish your customers.
Don't bother returning phone calls or emails.
Does anyone have a lend of 2 chairs for Christmas?

Because despite ordering back in November. I still don't have my full order which I paid for. In 5 weeks they couldn't send chairs 15 minutes away. Utterly incompetent.

Buy here all the time.
Had only one with issue and resolved quickly.
Good selection of items.
You could over spend if you're not mindful

Always deliver in a timely manner. Prices not bad in comparison to others. Would be happy to use sgsin

Bought 2 double beds. Both irish made. Exceptional standard and was ready within a week.
Coolock

Fab fluffy towels. Delivered within a day or two. Had bought from next and Arnotts before. They were the best and much cheaper

When you buy something online, you expect you receive it in full. Bought 6 chairs at €582.49 only 4 arrived and 2 went into the some abyss only known by GLS.
I sent 2 emails to Oxendales and they weren't answered. I sent a complaint form and that wasn't answered. I rang 3 staff members who promised to call back, they didn't. They were apologetic and polite but did nothing. 4th staff member advised me to cancel the order and reorder. She was the only use who actually attempted to help. I did this even though I ordered all 6 together. She hoped it may arrive for Christmas. I ordered and paid in full for the chairs 16th of November. The standard of customer service is disappointing to say the least. I won't ever purchase from Oxendales again. The hassle this was caused me is extremely unfair and I feel like I have to beg for information. I have family coming for Christmas and not enough chairs.

You use GLS you get substandard care. GLS are notoriously woeful, the lowest price isn't always the best.
