Review of Hastings Direct


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Good insurance provider.

Well the purchasing of the insurance was pretty straightforward. The price was good and options on the policy was what I wanted. Let's see how things become if I have to make a claim. So far, very happy.

Top hifi/av retailer.

I have always found Peter Tyson to be a top rated retailer. Used a handful of times and they have never let me down. This time a bought a soundbar and subwoofer end of line bargain. Such a good price. Very happy. Will definitely use again. Wish they were closer, so I could browse round the store.

Review of Tayna Batteries


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Great product. Terrible dispatch time.

You cannot run a business, where the item takes a week for delivery. Especially car batteries, when people often need them within 24 hours. Having too many orders to dispatch is not the customers problem. Problem solve and sort it, or people go elsewhere. If you cannot sort out the problem, find someone who can. I was happy with the price and happy with the product.

to wales and back for my mazda 6

so the product i went to purchase was whats called a clearance, or part exchange. it's a bit of a strange one, when it comes to car dealer ships. because there is no warranty, the onus to purchase is really on the customer. there were issues with the car and when i got home, after a very long drive, i found more issues, but this is how it works, if you are not buying from there main, warrantied stock. i still like the car i bought and the car dealer was kind enough to pick me up from the train station, as the dealership was a few miles out of town.
this particular dealership was massive. they obviously turn over lots of cars. would i buy from them again. yes i would. but i hope that i could afford a car from their warrantied stock. it is right and proper to expect that part exchange, or clearance cars, won't have the same kind of preparation standards. but, if i was running the dealership, i wouldn't care and still present any car i sold as proper stock. so, the car passed the mot, but the brakes were really rusty all around. i need to change them all. i would have done this and perhaps charged a little more. but that's just me. overall. a happy customer

Hi Peter and thanks for your review. The clearance section is as described, and we really appreciate your understanding about this - you're spot on! As you rightly said, we provide a fully-independent MOT and service the vehicle ourselves prior to sale, but we have to strike a balance between affordable and good value when it comes to all our stock. We really appreciate your kind words and understanding - we wish they were all like you! ⭐Hope to see you again in the not too distant future! 🫡

Review of Dialdirect


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

strange request

So, i was sent an email from Dial Direct. They asked me to write some text on Trust Pilot about their customer service. Bit strange, as i have had no contact with Dial Direct. I did buy my car insurance from them a week ago, or so. But that was done online only, through compare the market. I wasn't sure what i could write. The purchase of the insurance was very affordable and i can't see what more they can do, as far as navigating througt the website. and i can access all my documents very easily. So the only mistake they have made, si to ask me to write them a review about their customer service !!!!????? but as they haven't done anything wrong, i'll give them 5 stars. lets see what happens when i actually need them for something.

Review of Laptops Direct


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

ACER OLED LAPTOP

Having never bought from this company before, i was a little unsure if the product would come in the condition that was promised in the advertising. the shrink wrap on the laptop was damaged and i thought; here we go. but when i took off the shrink wrap and put it under a bright light, i was impressed. not even the slightest mark. the laptop was immaculate. trust me. i tried to find a mark. so well done. its not all good though and that is why it gets 4 stars. the product was £559 refurbished, but it looked as though it was just an open box. it only came with 3 months warranty, so i extended that to 1 year for £29. then it was £5.99 for delivery. so now we are up to nearly £600. After i bought the item, i search the internet and found the exact same product for £649. brand new in original packaging and with 1 years warranty and free delivery. i feel that the deal isn't that good anymore. The £649 price came from a major high street retailer, with plenty in stock.
if a firm sells something as refurbished, then it really should be more than a £50 saving. but i will keep this laptop, as its immaculate and looks like its never been used. plus, its the best laptop that i have ever bought. very high spec.

Blu ray purchase review

I have bought alot of items from Cex over the years. Everything that has been delivered in great condition. its great to see so many titles available. thats the real plus point. However, your main competitor is Ebay and many of the secondhand items are postage free. you postage fee is too high. i get that posting has a fee to it. may i suggest you take a bit of a hit to your bottom line and reduce the posting fee. if i buy a £5 blu ray and then add £2.99, it becomes £8. Then the same Blu ray might be £6 on ebay with free postage. you have lost on many of my purchases, because you posting too expensive.

Washing machine repair

It didn't take long for the engineer to figure out that there was a problem with the water pressure, rather than the washing machine. So he was in and out in about 10 minutes. However, in that time he was polite and professional and checked the valves on the machine, to make sure it wasn't a fault on my LG. Good visit. No I need a plumber.

You can hardly miss the offer to enter…

You can hardly miss the offer to enter the million pound house draw. The social media campaign is relentless. I found the advertising a little overwhelming, but the way the offer is presented to the public, makes it hard to ignore. it took a couple of months to think about it and then i eventually relented. The film and pictures were professionally done, so well done and i hope alot of money is made for a worthwhile cause.

Fast and efficient service. Good customer service call when there was a problem. Not the cheapest, but parcel force has never let me down.

Will continue to use and recommend to others.

I have used CEX for years now

I have used CEX for years now. I mainly buy dvd's and blu rays. I have always been happy with the service and I keep coming back because of the huge library of movies to choose from. But sometimes i want to buy several films at once. The postage is just too high. CEX has lots of competition that don't charge for postage. Music magpie, ebay, World of books etc. I can't give 5 stars, because I am not really getting a good deal. I find the same title in one of their competitors at a similar price, without the high postage fees. E.G. I bought 5 films for CEX. came to £15. But because the films were coming from different branches, it was an extra £10 on top for postage. Sorry CEX. That's not competitive.

It's so easy

It's so easy. Tell them what you have. You get instant quote. They pick it up and test it. Money in PayPal account within two days of them receiving it. Fantastic. Will use again. Hastle free transaction. Obviously you will get less than selling privately. But it's so easy.

Review of UKposters


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

print quality.

I have ordered many prints and posters from online shops and i learned quickly that the colours and shades are not always as stated. what i mean by that, is if you are fussy, like me, there is an expection that b&w should b&w. and the shades of grey, should represent the image you see on the screen. you would also expect the prints to be pin sharp and not out of focus. some companies do not pay enough attention to the printing process, or their printers are not up to the task. enter uk posters. i saw a very stricking image of 2 b & w lions. it was incredibly cheap at £9.99 for a 40 x 40cm print. free delivery after £20. the packaging was over the top. too much for one print, but at least i knew it would not be damaged. i cant quite work out what the paper is. it was fairly thin and very glossy, but as its going in a frame, that doesnt really matter. now for the image quality. 10 out of 10. i used to be a photographer. i have a very critical eye. the black is proper deep black and the shades are perfect, along with the detail and focus, which is spot on. so why 4 stars and not 5. i ordered the print on the 30th december and it arrived on the 15th january. The website says 6 to 7 days. i understand that it was xmas and i also understand that the company is based overseas, but i still think its too long. i ordered a dvd from america and it came in a week. also, the selection of sizes are a bit odd. not standard. very difficult to buy a frame. all in all. great company. superb choice and excellent print quality. 4.5 out of 5.

cex review

I started using cex, because i am a film fan and wanted to add to my library of blu rays and dvds. Prices of new dvd releases are too high and i am happy to wait until they come down in price. But price is not the only consideration. to have this massive library of films to choose from, really helps if you want old, recent, or nearly new films. so, because of the lower prices and the huge library, i give cex 5 stars. one word of caution. if you buy 10 films online, these films are not picked from a central warehouse. instead they come from individual stores and that means you might get 10 different parcels, instead of 1. that also means paying 10 different postal fees. it does add up. but its still cheaper than driving around from store to store, to find the items you want.

Review of Surfshark

surfshark review

i searched for sometime, to find the vpn that was right for me and value for money was a key consideration. there are dozens of vpn providers each claiming to be the best. i chose surfshark for the following reasons. 1. over 1000 servers worldwide. 2. they have a feature that always connects to the fastest server. 3. great customer service. i did have a problem and they got back to me quickly. 4. they are always innovating. they have plans to add more upgrades to their service in 2020. 5. and this was the deal clincher. the price. if you buy the 24 month plan, its amongst the cheapest out there. its not all perfect. the vpn slowed my internet down by about 30 percent. I have been in contact with surfshark. They have informed me that a 30 percent drop in speeds, is to be expected. they also told me that during 2020, their ambitious plans to upgrade, should improve performance. Therefore, i have no hesitation in recommending surfshark. i wait with anticipation, to discover what upgrades are on the way.

Hey ,Peter! Thank you for your detailed review! We are happy to hear that you have chose us. Up to 30% drop in speeds is indeed to be expected while using VPN as it is affected by various factors. We do indeed have high goals for upcoming year, and hopefully the performance will improve a lot!

happy film nut.

i ordered a number of dvd's. they obviously had to come from a number of different branches, owing to the number of large envelopes that turned up over the next few days. i was amazed at the charge of £2.50 for postage. quite incredible. really impressed. well done. i ordered around 35 dvd's and they all showed up within 2 to 3 days.
