Review of De'Longhi UK


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Excellent Bean to Cup La Specialista

We absolutely love the Bean to Cup La Specialista machines - brilliant taste, easy to use and great temperature control. Perfect milk preparations from the latte wand.
This is our second machine after the first experienced loose front knobs and very high price to repair.

Review of Clarks


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Great Clarks Sandals but Apalling EVRI non-service.

I have always bought Clarks shoes from shops - mainly sandals - and these from online were up to the same high standards.
Unfortunately their use of EVRI was a very poor decision - many emails received with no delivery timings, then one saying there was a delay but no timing and then luckily hearing a noise (on going to bed) at front door at 10.35pm and finding the delivery there - no door bell or knocking to alert me so they could have been there all night - or most probably stolen!!

Review of Garden Machinery Direct


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Overall Reliable supplier - if a little pricey.

While it was good to be able to get all our items from one source, the shipping costs were a hefty 16.5% of the order! And we had to rely on getting their emails to get tracking details - but order did arrive within quoted overall timescales.

Thank you for your review, Dave! We’re really glad your order arrived within the quoted timescale and that you were able to find everything you needed with us. We completely understand your concern about the shipping cost — we use a tracked, fully insured courier service, and the rate is generally the same regardless of order size. Because your order included a blade, it had to be sent via a specialist courier rather than standard post, which does add to the cost. We’ll also take your feedback on tracking communication on board — we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Great service and delivery support

I wanted the confidence / simplicity of buying all items from one source. So while I could have bought each item at a better price from different sources, I received excellent service - particularly from Stephanie - in getting excatly what I needed.

Excellent Service and Perfect Delivery

It was great to be able to talk to friendly, efficient customer sales staff to ensure that I was ordering the equipment I needed.
Stephanie was excellent - even changing an item part the way through to give complete satisfaction. Delivery process was also great - Andy arriving on time and providing an excellent handover; explaining how to use / adjust every item. Well done both. Great Value for Money

Review of caxton.io


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Update April 2025: Card still being declined !!

Update April 2025: I had another attempt to pay a holiday deposit in Euros declined plus one for $ - with both currencies correctly loaded on card!! What is wrong with Caxton???
Having had my Caxton cashcard declined on first foreign purchase use (embarrassing!"!) Kevin was the one Caxton employee who fully explained what had to be done to prepare the card for all future transaction use.
PS: Having made the first UK chip&pin purchase I am hoping it will now fully work properly.

Review of EDF


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent Service from Lina and EDF

As previous loyal EDF customers, Lina was friendly and kind enough to take the time to listen to me and understand our concerns. We have moved to the latest EDF fixed tariff (Apr25) and Lina made sure that we have achieved a very amicable changeover at best cost to both EDF and ourselves; such that we remain loyal customers. Thank you Lina and well done to EDF.

Excellent Warrantywise cover from Jodie in Sales

Having previously been covered by Warrantywise, I was interested to find out latest cover details & costs. I found that Jodie in sales was so helpful and understanding. We discussed all options and she helped guide me through to the best onward cover for my 6 year old Audi. We were able to find and agree a value for money cost and payment plan. Thank you so much Jodie - excellent work to put my mind at rest!
