Awful caterwauling

Awful caterwauling. Presumably retail psychologists have advised this to attract a younger client base but it merely deters existing customers.
More till points would also be an asset

Trust?pilot

They can stop using Trustpilot, which is far from trustworthy and a total waste of money

Review of Salter


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Who trusts Trustpilot, anyway?

The parcel arrived promptly but was followed by this silly feedback form. These were longlife cookery items that have not all been used yet, and for which a period of at least a year is needed to see how well they perform.

Good Morning,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We’re pleased to hear your parcel arrived promptly, and we appreciate you taking the time to comment on the feedback process.
We understand that some products, especially long-life items, need more time to truly show their performance, and your perspective is helpful.
Our goal with feedback requests is to make it easy for customers to share their thoughts, but we’ll certainly take your comments on board as we review how and when we ask for feedback in the future.
Thank you again for letting us know and we value your input and hope you enjoy your items for many years to come.
Kind Regards,

Useful pair of gloves and the silver helps with touch screens. Pity about the idiotic follow-up feedback form. Better to save the TrustPilot subscription and reduce prices. Who trusts TrustPilot?

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your feedback.

We’re glad to hear the gloves are proving useful and that the touchscreen-friendly silver fibres are working well for you.

Regarding the follow-up feedback form. We’re currently reviewing how we collect feedback to make the process less intrusive and more helpful for customers.

Your comments about external review platforms are noted, and they’ll be fed back to the team responsible.

If there’s anything else we can help with, just let us know.

Kind regards,

Daft I call it

What do you expect? Only idiots trust Trustpilot!
Bring your prices down even further and scrap the silly fake questionnaires.
Try responding to the comments instead of what you imagine was the point. Just don't trust fake review sites - none of these services is accurate or reliable. Customers will vote with their feet - only idiots trust these fake reviews.

Review of Arighi Bianchi


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

What do star ratings really mean?

Very solid and suitable piece of furniture, up to Arighi's usual standard. Delivery was somewhat pricey given that I am fairly local and it was a fairly swift delivery.
Pity that they waste money on these pointless reviews. Do companies really expect to be cited as above average? Is that above average for the industry, the town, the universe, or just for the company?

Reply from Arighi Bianchi

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind comments about the quality of the furniture – we’re really pleased to hear it met the high standards you expect from Arighi Bianchi.

We do understand your feedback regarding delivery costs. Our charges reflect the use of our specialist delivery teams, who handle, transport and deliver furniture with care to ensure it arrives safely and in excellent condition, even for local deliveries.

We also appreciate your thoughts on reviews. Customer feedback is genuinely valuable to us as it helps us understand what we’re doing well and where we can continue to improve, and it also helps other customers make informed decisions.

Thank you again for sharing your experience – it’s very much appreciated.

Thanks Team AB

Uninspiring

JL have consistently neglected their cafes -understaffed and under supplied; over priced, if anything. They could be a 'loss leader' if more resource were pumped in, attracting in more customers.

Lots of empty space

Lots of empty space, not many products. It would have been good if they brought the cafe back - there is certainly enough wasted space.
I keep asking for Sockies but noone bothers to source them.

Thank you for placing your review and for your product request. We're unable to source the original Sockies but I'm pleased to tell you we now stock a similar product and I've included the link for it below. Thanks again, Jacqueline.

Its not just the goods on sale.

John Lewis need to remember that its stores provide a shopping experience. This includes its catering outlets. These have been pared back in recent years and the Place to Eat at Cheadle offers much less choice. On this occasion we spoke to five members of staff, including two chefs, to try to obtain a suitable gluten-free offering.
The quantity of goods in the Sale seems much reduced and there is confusion in the labelling, making it dificult to understand which items are at a reduced price. We approached one "partner" in bedlinen who was most unhelpful and basically told us that some goods were reuced and it was up to us to find out which ones!

Good afternoon and thank you for visiting our Cheadle shop.
I am sorry for any disappointment caused by the selection on offer in our Place to Eat, we will share your feedback with our Central Catering team.
The quantity of goods available in any sale will always vary. It's disappointing to read of the response provided, our Partners should always offer to help confirm the price of any item on display. ^Alan

Good on books, useless on using dubious questionnaires

The transaction went well but they sent me a very pointless questionnaire that calls their wisdom into doubt. The use of questionable "surveys" is a waste of money so the firm is either profligate or could lower its prices. The feedback that I received to my comments suggests that Blackwells do not listen or take their academic image seriously!

Daft I call it...

I placed an order with Blackwells and immediately received this stupid survey. This is not the only company to behave in this silly way but I thought that Blackwells had intelligent staff who could see beyond spurious surveys and questionable questionnaires.

Dear customer,

Thank you for posting your feedback. At the beginning of the year we claimed ownership of our Trustpilot account so that it could reflect the true overall experience that our customers receive when ordering books with us. The most important purpose of automatically requesting reviews is that it allows us a connection to our online customers, for them to be able to offer feedback on their ordering experience, as well as giving us a chance to assist some of our customers who use this platform to ask for help.

We apologise if this survey caused frustration or inconvenience and thank you for purchasing your books with Blackwell's.

With best wishes,

Pester pester pester

But something from H&B and they will pester you to fill in a ridiculous "syrvey" that is totally unscientific and meaningless. Clearly they are making too much profit if they indulge themselves in this way.

What? Another stupid request for a review? Daft I call it.

The service was so average that I cannot remember...
What is it with companies these days? Do they not know that reviews on Trustpilot are rubbish and even in-house questionnaires are designed by incompetents? Does anyone actually take notice of the drivel that is written? (more fool them - never trust anything that you read on the internet) Why do firms not save the money and use it to reduce prices?
