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.
We have had Questor Hire Car Excess insurance cover for many years and use it because it is more competitive than cover offered by hire companies and gives us peace of mind.
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!!
We have just started with Vida and from experiences to date the site seems easy and clear to operate. We also welcome the competitive savings rates and hope they will remain.

Hi Dave, We're happy to hear that our site is easy to use. We appreciate your feedback on our competitive rates and hope to continue meeting your expectations. Kind regards, Vida Savings
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.
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.

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your feedback and we are glad that buying all your products from us in one go has worked out well for you! We aim to offer a top level of customer service to all of our customers and so your feedback is most appreciated. It's great to hear that Stephanie was able to help you and we hope you'll consider shopping with us again soon.
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

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.

Once again Active Quote and in particular Madi for this year have managed to get us a more competitive Health Insurance quote - saving a further 7.5%. Clearly, as pensioners we would have liked a lower premium but Well Done Madi for your efforts - most appreciated.

Good morning Mr Manning, We are delighted to hear that Madi managed to secure you a discount on your Health Insurance premium this year. Thank you for allowing us to help you. Tracy
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.

Hi Dave, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a brilliant review, it really means a lot to us to know you are really happy with the service you have received from Lina. Thanks, Anneka :)
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!

Good morning Dave,
Thank you for the 5* review! We will be sure to pass your feedback on to Jodie. Please do let us know if there is anything further we can assist you with.
Viator have a wide range of tour options but not always the best timings or prices. So we selected some but not all. The website is certainly worth a look though.
