This comparison site remembers details from year to year which makes getting car insurance renewal qoutes quite straightforward. Offers a range of insurers including well known brands. Has saved me hundreds of pounds for not much effort. And now get some extra cashback rewards too. However, site doessn't immediately register that you have purchased a policy and keeps sending reminders of quotes received which is a bit annoying.

Enables me to collect Points to spend in M&S, so its been my default credit card to use for several years. On the rare occasions I've had a problem- eg getting a refund for cancelled flight during covid; fraud alert (false)=blocked card)- I've been able to achieve a resolution (although the paperwork was a bit muddled for the flight refund). So, very happy with the service overall.

Nice modern shaker style doors arrived after choosing them on the website. All in good condition after delivery. Joiner installed the four doors over a couple of days. Pre-primed made the finishing painting job that much quicker for me. Happy with the quality and delivery service and a good value update to the home.

Using this service to maintain my landline number after switching to full fibre internet service and therefore losing the old copper BT telephone line. Transfer of landline number to this service very staightforward. Have used the web portal to set up forwarding of all calls received on landline number to my mobile number-all working. Very happy with the service received.

My local council recycling page had a link to LoveJunk. it worked well. I received several quotes from registered waste handlers to take away and recycle four internal heavy glazed doors. The quotes varied a lot-I chose the cheapest and agreed a collection day. All went well-got a call an hour before pick-up. Once signed in to the rather basic website, there is an option to pick up local recycled stuff for free. An app would be useful. Great service.

Good range of doors to choose from. Good website
with clear pictures and dimensions. Could get singles and a double door set. Doors were delivered when requested and were undamaged. Happy with my purchase.

Good value door handle pack with latch bolt/plate and hinges included. Handles look good with a modern design. Quick delivery too and well packed. You may need additional or larger hinges to hang a heavy glazed door.

It took three weeks from contacting EON (who also supply my power) to getting the Vestel charger installed. This required a video survey of my property electrics which was helpful in suggesting a good location for the charger. So, reasonably prompt for a straightforward install. The email trail could have been better though and I was for example emailed an app from VIRTA ( who?) saying I had been registered to them and their app was needed to connect to the charger. Not so. The electrician didn't need this from me and connected me to EON Home app which is what you use to operate the charger. Electrician also struggled to set up my connection because of poor 4G signal in my area- the worst part of the job he said. All the paperwork quickly arrived on email following installation- Building Regs, Electrical Certificate. I was left with the Installation Guide but no User Guide- I only found Guides on the website later. Two emails from Nat Grid arrived a few weeks later telling me I must have a new main fuse upgrade otherwise I could not be allowed to connect my charger to their network. Booked in now. So, all working, professional install, but not as smooth a journey as it should be.

The Xmas perfume gift arrived in three working days by Royal Mail delivery. Unfortunately poor packaging/flimsy packet meant the presentation box was creased/damaged. Suggests a 'couldn't care less' attitude to customers.

I've used MyBuilder for several years now when I've needed work doing on my house, specifically bathroom fitting and interior and exterior decorating. I try to describe the job clearly and upload a photo. I have found that the tradesmen I choose from the shortlist generated respond quite quickly and are keen to pitch for the work- unlike some local tradesmen who I have phoned in the past. I've always been well satisfied with the work performed and I know what I'm talking about as I am an experienced DIYer. The customer reviews are useful but it always makes sense to meet the tradesman before agreeing to proceed. It's my GoTo site when I need work doing!

Good value breakdown cover. When I broke down away from home a couple of years ago they sent me a link on my phone so I could track my case. Unfortunately the local contracted recovery service was very busy so had to wait 2 hours for them to attend. It was a flat battery so soon sorted. Happy to renew.

Just received my second order in two years as needed slightly different reading strength. Straightforward website and prompt delivery (no tracking). For the low price the glasses are good quality.

Very efficient on-line ordering direct from VAX and quick delivery of cordless vacuum. Battery would not charge/was faulty on delivery so rang customer services who sent a replacement in three days. Blade 4 Pet cordless quite powerful and simple to use, not too heavy. Quite a bit cheaper than the leading brand. Too new to judge reliability.

On-line only good value SIM data and calling package on a monthly recurring contract for those who own their own phone or are out of contract. Uses the 3 network. Clear and simple website and app. Allows WiFI calling which is useful as indoor signal strength poor in my area- just remember to set it on your phone Settings. I added a family member to my plan and we both get a monthly discount. Pleased I transferred my number to them. Would recommend.

Straightforward and easy to use on-line shop which I have used to purchase hardware on three occasions. Able to compare models and prices. Most recent purchase was a replacement low/mid range laptop. Occasional promotions worth looking out for. Checkout process simple and tracked delivery very prompt. Trustworthy site and company.

I've used the parcel shop drop-off service quite regularly and find it convenient and competitively priced against other couriers for my parcels. I print the label at home. The speed of delivery and tracking is pretty good- I know when my stuff has been delivered and the phone app is good to use. Use a cardboard box to pack is my tip for minimising problems

Ordered the alarm/fall detector version from the website for a neighbour on her own and also submitted her personal information eg doctor etc, using the on-line form - as no kit is sent out until this is received on- line or by post. Kit arrived in 2 days and was straightforward to connect up to the existing landline phone. Neighbour performed test activation and call centre staff answered with her name, so we knew it was all working. Reasonable annual fee for the re-assurance it gives, especially if prone to falls as the base unit has built in microphone and speaker. Not to be confused with similar sounding companies-which may be or may not be as good!

Switched to Smarty because existing cheap service provider did not provide WiFi calling which I need as in a poor indoor reception area. Good outdoor coverage using the '3' network. Very happy with the service and value for money monthly plan. Recommend making the switch and transferring existing number. Simple app with dashboard.

Very pleased with my purchase of secondhand books, condition was as described, price was good and delivery fast. Held a good range of non-fiction/factual books too. The fact that most of the books are purchased from Charities is an incentive to use them again.

Easy and quick service. Produced useful encapsulated A3 prints of building plans from uploaded PDF, which should stand up to mud and rain. Would definitely use this service again.
