Review of The Range


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Mirror Mirror (not YET!) on the Wall!!

Just missed buying this mirror at the REALLY knockdown price but still happy with what I eventually did pay! It’s replacing an equally large one on an outside wall and hope it will last as long, despite being termed ‘indoor’! (As was it’s predecessor!!)
It’s still in its box as the weather hasn’t been conducive to hanging BIG mirrors in Monsoon conditions! I am relying on the usual high quality of goods from The Range to still be there once unwrapped and hung!

Review of Furdeco


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Delivery spot on despite flooding all around!! At the time of the anticipated delivery…

At the time of the anticipated delivery I was flooded in at another address. I emailed Furdeco explaining this and asking that the driver call me half an hour or so prior to delivery as a friend would be on duty!
Furdeco not only responded to my E mail but their driver also rang, giving me time to alert my neighbour! Everything went as smooth as clockwork- apart from the weather!! Thank you Furdeco!

Somehow my £50 introductory payment was missed but with just one mail Bongeka sorted the blip!!
Any contact with Octopus on any service related query is dealt with fast and efficiently!! Makes a welcome change when compared to other main providers!!
Bravo Octopus AND Bongeka!!

Review of Gardening Express


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Ardisia Crenata - a lovely plant for all seasons!

I have bought from GardeningExpress before so was not anticipating any problems or disappointment!

I was correct in my thoughts. My plant arrived and is a lovely specimen - Ardisia Crenata is the name of the plant I bought, having first seen it in a friends office in Istanbul! I am now the happy owner of one here in Dorset!
Thank you GardeningExpress…….you will no doubt be hearing from me again in the future with another order!

Review of PAVERS


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Mixed emotions!!

Arrived at my chosen store within the 5 day estimated delivery time. Full of optimism I went off to collect……and there we came adrift.
Colour and flowers exactly as depicted on line but once on my foot………it resembled a leg with a football on the end! Allowing for an inner sole and thick sock I think my foot would still have been adrift within!! (I have an average size foot!).
Heartbreakingly I had to ask for a refund. This was promptly given without a murmur. A pity that such an attractive ‘summer wellie’ should look so unattractive once worn. If it ever reappears in a normal foot shape and size I would definitely risk a second go!

Review of LPL


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

LPL A pleasure to do business with

Wanting to use a local solicitor to do the conveyancing on a property in Manchester while living in Dorset LPL was suggested and I went ahead with them.
It was the smoothest sale from start to finish. Queries I had were generally responded to within an hour or so and even any mail sent over the weekend also received a prompt reply rather than an ‘out of office’ note and having to wait until the Monday or even later!
My buyer was also impressed by LPL and wished he too had chosen them!
I don’t think I need to say more. I would have no hesitation in recommending LPL and George to anyone in need of prompt and courteous service! If only more companies were like them!

Not much to say really……….

Not much to say really! You always come up trumps - order placed and very soon afterwards order received! What more could one ask for?!

Another convert to Music Magpie………..

I introduced my son to MM as he was wanting to buy me an early Christmas present. I have bought from you before and been extremely pleased so why not try again and hope for the same outcome!
It’s only been a week but everything working as it should so far!!! Ask me again in a year!

Review of Avanti Travel Insurance


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

To be honest the ‘proof of the pudding…

To be honest the ‘proof of the pudding would be in the eating’!! However, as I HAVE renewed for perhaps the third time without doing any homework or price comparisons I may not be the person to write a review!! Luckily, during the past few years I have not had to claim for anything so can’t even extol the possible virtues of Avanti!!
I was being asked for a review and I have done my best! Watch this space……..if I have a disaster on a future trip my ‘happy ending’ may turn out to be anything BUT…………

Review of Yodel by InPost


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Short but sweet!

Short but sweet!! He arrived, knocked, placed inside my door and left! What more could I wish for! Excellent service from the distributor too - when I checked last evening on delivery status it showed an area in Canada! I almost passed out! Just a glitch I guess but I did wonder if I had paid money to a scam! Very happy it all came right in the end!

Wonderful WoB!!

It seemed I had hardly ordered my book and there it was awaiting me on my return from a day away! Quality just as promised and in fact, an extra bonus too! It had originally been signed by the author and presented to someone on behalf of a third party! Very special!
Thank you WoB for your excellent service!

Review of Lights4fun


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Emma in Customer Service saved the day

Emma in Customer Service saved the day! Of my two water feature orders one was broken in transit and one was faulty from birth! My 10% discount code arrived after my order had been accepted! Emma managed to give me a retrospective discount! Then I was given the choice of replacement or complete refund - I chose the safe route of the latter! I can’t fault either Emma or Lights4fun and will certainly use them in the future, hopefully with better luck!

Review of Justmylook

PAN STIK FOREVER!!

Having been frightened by the fact that Max Factor Pan Stik seemed to have become obsolete I immediately looked on line before the rest of the world also looked and bought up stock!!
I bought two ‘stiks’ on the assumption they will see me out (as I am not a teenager!!). My order arrived in no time at all and I am thrilled with my two ‘stiks’!! However, on a subsequent visit to my local, Sainsburys super store, I saw they had Pan Stik in stock!!! I have no idea if Max Factor responded to the outcry of aged fans of their product and brought it back or whether there had just been a blip in production…..either way……I probably now DO HAVE enough to ‘see me out’!!😬

Review of Vitality


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Hard to review……….as I have only just…

Hard to review as I have only just joined Vitality and only today did one of their representatives call me to talk me through the perks they offer! She had the patience of a saint (Alanis Finn) while talking an ‘Ancient’ through the sign up and login process!
I have since answered a number of the questions asked to advance things further. However, on reaching the end of the ‘form’ and clicking ‘submit’ it refused!! So, I may and may not have another try - or I may just give up on it all as an irritation and not of my making!

Review of Right to Health Limited


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Fingers crossed for the future…….

In the old world I was generally away at the time my insurance renewed. So, this year I am stuck in the UK and had time to look at what might be on offer. R to H had contacted me suggesting I review my cover as I had been with the current company for some time and perhaps it would be good to compare what was on offer. Within a short time of contacting them they came back with a couple of acceptable options, one of which I have chosen! Let’s hope I chose the right one and don’t get struck down with a mystery ailment next week! Either way it will have been my choice and not that of Right to Health!! Will continue to think positive!!

A Copper Glow.......

The pair of tear drop candle holders arrived even faster than expected. I bought the copper on black which give a lovely warm glow. I am more than happy with my purchase and great to see they were made in the UK too!
