The bird bath I bought is brilliant

The bird bath I bought is brilliant, for less than £20, including delivery, it is worth every penny.
It looks smart in the garden and the birds love it, it has really helped them in this heatwave.
I chose this one because you can fill the base with gravel or sand to keep it sturdy, when the bigger birds land on it.

3m Banana Parasol

Bought a 3m banana cantilever parasol from Christow last year and initially all good, but quality is not up to standard. On a windy day, the poles tore through the canvas points (no rounded edges inside, so easy to tear) easily. Completely not up to standard for British weather conditions.

I’m confused by all the positive…

I’m confused by all the positive reviews, it’s been four weeks of nightmare. Ordered a parasol and weights, weights arrived but parasol stayed at delivery depot, I couldn’t get a response from Christow - it seems to take seven days to get a reply from each email. After three weeks Evri finally came back and said it was now out for delivery. I actually waited in for three days this week because I kept thinking it would arrive as it was ‘out for delivery arriving today’ evri finally replied to say they had attempted delivery, they didn’t, I have a camera doorbell so I would know. And it was now being returned to sender. It still says it’s out for delivery on the tracker.
Now four weeks on from ordering and Christow still has my money, I have weights and no parasol, it’s been hard to be in my garden without shade. The worst part has been the painfully slow replies, seven days at a time to my emails, and the phone just rings out when I call.

Dreadful customer service & faulty product

Dreadful customer service. Faulty item received and has take nearly 3 months to be resolved. Even then the replacement item is faulty but by this point I didn't have the energy to deal with them anymore, so have found a workaround. The most infuriating system of emailing them and they take ages to respond and then don't include the email chain. They were reluctant to replace the faulty item at first and eventually agreed. Then Evri failed to collect it on 5 occasions. Christow never acknowledged receipt and it required further phone calls and emails to resolve. I will never ever buy from this company again. Needlessly stressful and terrible customer service.

I bought a parasol and base

I bought a parasol and base. The parasol is lovely but the base has never arrived so I had to get one elsewhere.
Evri I think have lost it.

I ordered a parasol and granite base

I ordered a parasol and granite base. Both arrived and the base was missing crucial parts meaning I can't use the parasol. Emailed customer service with pictures and was told 'we can't replace missing parts, sorry.'
No offer to return the base, no offer of a refund. So now I've got a base and a parasol that I'm unable to use!
