Review of Blinkist


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Further to my previous review I have…

Further to my previous review I have not received my refund even after having shown a screenshot of the payment in my bank and providing the last 4 digits of my card. The silly AI doesn't understand and real people do not read emails. Sadly I am going to have to contact my bank and ask them to do a charge back. Everything about Blinkist is awful. The unwillingness to listen to customers feed back or fix bugs. Their email support is manned by an annoying AI that does not escalate even when you give it everything it is asking for. Iv waited 3 weeks and no refund.. dreadful.

Review of Ebuyer (UK) Limited


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Poor experience

Had to RMA some faulty ram back to manufacturer and rather than be without my system i looked up DDR5 8gb desktop ram and found a stick on Ebuyer. Paid £12 for next day delivery. Turned up and it was laptop ram. Checked listing and no mention of it being for laptop. Have to now pay £5 to return it. Out of pocket and have no ram. A bad experience with Ebuyer and couldn't even call them as their phones are down. Poor.

Horrible app and website

Horrible app and website. I was given a discount code for the subscription plan but the app does not accept them so navigated to their website and used code to sign up for the year. Followed email link to my account and my account was active. Great I'll unlock some books. Every time I selected a book it took me to the subscription sign up page not realising i already had an active account. Very annoying and could not get it to work so cancelled my subscription. Quite frankly the app and site is not fit for purpose and I am surprised it is still up and running. Overall a horrible experience and I will never use them again.

Ordered yesterday and arrived today so very very pleased. Very happy with the duty i paid. Setting up the Avalon Mini 3 was vety simple and im now hashing away. I havent used its super mode as electricity is too expensive where i live but im happy with night mode giving me 24TH/s. If ever I get solar panels I will be sure to crank her. Overall excellent service from Mineshop.eu.

Review of Prestige Flowers

shocking flowers

Order number 8960152

Hi,

Its my Mother in laws 70th birthday tomorrow so we decided to buy your large rose and lily bouquet. As it was a special birthday we opted for the large bouquet, What turned up today was what I would consider a £10 bunch from the Co Op and am thoroughly ashamed at what you have sent me. I would have been dissapointed to recieve it had i ordered your small bouquet, They look absolutely nothing like the picture and are tiny.

Who ever has made these needs sacking. is this the kind of service you send out to everyone? Seven roses and two lillies! Your advert shows thirteen liles and i got two. I complained and Aaron came back to me saying that the large only comes with two and they will sprout more from the stems.. what absolute nonesense no they dont. I have reported Prestige flowers to trading standards for misleading representation of the sales of goods act and hope they will be investigated. Had they just sent a replacement out and appologised I'd have been fine. Now when I give them to my Mothe inlaw she is going to think I bought them from a petrol station. Avoid these scammers!

Hello Darren,

We appreciate your review and are sorry the bouquet didn't meet expectations for such a special birthday. We regret that the arrangement size and flower quantity were disappointing, and that the resolution offered was unsatisfactory. We're taking your feedback seriously and will investigate the matter to prevent similar issues.

Kind regards,
Rosie

Bought two keys from CJS keys.

Bought two keys from CJS keys.. Avast driver update and Avast premuim. Both worked great then last night Avast premium stopped working and defaulted to free version. Obviously a dodgy key. reached out to CJS support but still no resolution. Only lost £6 but its annoying and now Ill have to go elsewere. Be warned.

Bought an Avast Driver Update cd key.

Bought an Avast Driver Update cd key.. was expired. Kind of cross sorequested refund which unofrtunalety went to my Kinguin wallet. Bought a second more expensive key and the same thing happened... expired key. I would never use Kinguin again, they are selling fake keys / out of date key. I have asked for a reund back onto my debit card but am doubtful this will happen especially after my review. Thankfully it wasnt much money. DO NOT USE KINGUIN.

Dear Darren,

Thanks for getting in touch—we’re really sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had, and we understand how frustrating that must be.

Upon reviewing your case, it looks like the code you've been trying to use is actually the Order Number, not the Activation Key. To retrieve the correct key, please visit your Kinguin Inventory (https://www.kinguin.net/library) and claim the code from there.

Once you’ve located the correct activation key, try using it with the software. If you still run into any issues, we’re more than happy to step in and assist further.

Additionally, we’ve reached out to you via ticket number: 1412047 with further details. You can view and respond to it here (https://kingu.in/MyTickets).

We appreciate your patience and hope to resolve this promptly for you.

Best regards,
Megumi

Very easy process for getting a solid quote for my kit. I sent it off and withing days it was checked and I was asked for my bank details. I was paid within a day and very happy with the price given. I would highly recommend MPB.

Review of Arthauss Furniture


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Could not praise Arthauss Furniture enough

Could not praise Arthauss Furniture highly enough. We fell in love with their wardrobes, but they did not deliver to me in Wales, so I emailed them and told them I really loved them and was happy to pay extra for delivery. They kindly agreed to deliver to me, but did not charge me any extra... so very kind.

The drivers were friendly and professional, and the instructions really weren't bad. However, I would have like to have seen labeling stickers on each piece to make identifying easier.

My glass sliding wardrobes look amazing and I really thought they were good value for money. They are very solid and well made... not your usual Ikea rubbish.

When putting it together, a gust of wind blew in and knocked one of the large mirrored doors over and smashed everywhere. I emailed Arthauss Furniture, and they sent me another one out for £100 and no delivery charge (normally £60)..

Trully amazing service.. and we got interest free credit too, so happy days..

Thank you.. woudl highly recommend.
