Review of Bob


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

BOB is the reason I drink.

BOB is the reason I’m now paying for Meta (Facebook) to avoid being shown these types of products. BOB was the final straw.

It’s rubbish. Pushed upon us thinking we are saving the environment and it’s a great washing product. It’s not, it’s rubbish. Shampoo with a shower scrub is still far superior! Avoid this product.

Hey James,

We definitely wouldn’t recommend drinking because of Bob. As three ordinary men behind the shower curtain who read every review and spend every day trying to make Bob a product men genuinely want to use in the shower daily, we’re honestly gutted to read this.

And we certainly didn’t mean for our co-founder Mike in a towel to be the reason you ended up paying for Meta! He hates being in front of the camera.

What we’d really love, if you’re open to it, is to understand what specifically didn’t work for you. Whether it was how it washed, how it felt, or how it compared to what you normally use. That kind of feedback is invaluable while Bob’s still young.

If you’re willing, please drop us a quick note at [email protected] and let us know which bits, in particular, you didn’t like. We genuinely want to learn from your experience, and if you do email us, we’ll get Mike to pay you the £3 towards Meta (Facebook).

Thanks for being brutally honest, even when it’s tough to hear.

Much love,
Bob

Review of Hammonds Furniture


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Avoid this company at all costs!

We paid Hammonds 90% upfront (not on finance) which sets a clear expectation of a premium, well-managed service. Sadly, that is not what we received.

On the agreed installation start date, one of the fitting teams simply did not arrive. This immediately caused disruption and overrun to the project, including clashing with pre-existing medical appointments later that week.

What made matters worse was the lack of communication. Despite raising concerns with the office, no one called us back on either Monday or Tuesday to follow up or provide reassurance.

Hammonds’ proposed resolution for missing the agreed start date was £100 compensation, which frankly felt insulting given the amount already paid and the level of disruption caused.

One fitter, Ryan, was excellent and went above and beyond to help where he could — but that only highlighted a bigger issue. From our experience, installations appear to rely heavily on subcontracted teams, and when something goes wrong, Hammonds seem to have very limited control or ability to respond effectively.

This is not the level of service you expect after paying such a large sum upfront. Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend others think very carefully before choosing Hammonds.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about the disruption and frustration you’ve experienced, particularly around the missed start date and the lack of communication that followed. We understand how disappointing this must have been, especially given the level of trust and commitment you placed in us from the outset.

We’re pleased to hear that one of our fitters was able to support you positively, but we recognise that this doesn’t outweigh the wider issues you’ve described. Your comments around communication and coordination have been passed on internally, as this is something we’re actively working to improve.

We can see that a final visit is scheduled for 07/02 to complete the remaining works, and our team will be focused on ensuring this is handled as smoothly as possible.

Kind regards,
The Hammonds Team

Review of Hillarys


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Expertly fitted shutters.

Colin Meppem from Hillarys came to our property on the 23rd of December to fit 14 shutters.

We were initially worried that, being so close to Christmas, the job might be rushed or left unfinished. However, those concerns were completely unfounded.

Colin fitted every single shutter with care and attention to detail. Every one looks fantastic, and the build quality is exceptional. Although it’s still early days, we are genuinely amazed by the overall quality and finish.

A brilliant job from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Bottom of the barrel designs

The “cool” designs you get sent in maybe the first box are a one off.

Shortly after this you will receive bottom of the barrel designs. I have a draw full of rubbish.

Review of Laithwaites

Unethical service.

Just to confirm this. You can subscribe to anything via their website but to unsubscribe you have to call them.

I thought I had unsubscribed and it wasn’t until I got an email to let me know wine was being dispatched shortly I had to call!

Praying on the vulnerable and the not so tech savvy.
