Review of Wise


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Fantastic banking

First off, I think Wise is a breath of fresh air in the world of banking. I have no idea how Wise handles this situation, but I needed to talk with another bank like now! In a stressed situation it was hard to get a phone number, I just wanted this situation resolved. Help now, on a website is not a chat bot!

It’s insurance what can I say

It’s insurance what can I say, the proof is how they handle the claim! What I will say is to many advert emails.

Review of Yeomans


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

VW UK poor oversite on the dealers.

Disappointed in Yeomans Indian Queens I took my VW to the Murry Groupe Plymouth for a small fix under warranty. I was told that the front tryer was an MOT fail because the cord was braking out of the tryer wall. In the next three weeks the car had an MOT & a service from yet another VW dealer & the tryer was never mentioned? You tell me????

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am aware that the Head of Business from VW Indian Queens has called you today to personally discuss your concerns.
Upon reviewing our internal records for the past year, we couldn’t find a record of your vehicle visiting our VW Indian Queens dealership for maintenance. During your conversation with our Head of Business, it appears there may have been some confusion regarding past experiences at other locations.
While we are always happy to listen and improve, we want to ensure our records are accurate. Since we haven't had the opportunity to service your vehicle here recently, we feel this matter has been addressed as thoroughly as possible during your call.
We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us and wish you the very best.

THREE FAILED DELIVERY DATES.

OK, I see the reviews & can only assume my purchase was a complete mess, but read on & take notice.
This order (Your order ref: 3934574) was placed on 12 January but here we are on failed delivery date number three! I have just been informed by Every that the radiator I was promised would be here today is still being processed by them. The expected delivery date is now sometime in the next three bloody days, what a shower, try telling the truth instead of wasting other people's time & money, unbelievable!

Hi Alan,

We’re genuinely sorry for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the repeated failed delivery dates, we completely understand how unacceptable this has been and how much time and disruption it has caused you.

While we process many orders each month, unfortunately on some very rare occasions things don’t go to plan, and this is one of those occasions where we have let you down.

While you have been waiting, we have been actively chasing the courier ourselves on your behalf to try and push this delivery through as quickly as possible and to get you a clear and honest update rather than further uncertainty. We are doing everything we can to speed this up and make sure your order reaches you as soon as possible.

As mentioned on our call, we’ve also applied £25 in compensation as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience caused. Please be assured that we are taking full responsibility for this situation and are doing everything on our side to get it resolved quickly. We will continue to keep you updated on any progress until your order is safely delivered.

Thank you for your patience, and again, our sincere apologies for the trouble this has caused.

Review of Ship It Appliances


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I will continue to buy from Ship it

I have used Ship it prior & they are still one of the best for price & service their is. I gave 4 stars as they didn't have stock of an item I wanted, I know it's mean & I would have given them 5 stars, but I might have to pay for delivery because of that.

No staff at Truro, be prepared to que for ages

Click & collect is a great time saver only providing the product is ready for collection. But it wasn't as if that's bad enough we then had to que & that was seriously 20mins. The staff were seriously embarrassed & under staffed, not their problem, POOR management!

Hi Alan, We're so sorry we've been unable to offer you a joint account on this occasion. We appreciate this can be disappointing news. As a regulated bank, all customers are required to pass certain checks before we can open any accounts.

While we're unable to share specific decline reasons, you can find more info on how we handle our applications here: https://www.starlingbank.com/legal/privacy-notice/

We do appreciate your interest in us and hope you'll consider us again in the future.

Just DON'T

I was involved with this company via Alexander Aurelius Auctioneers, ibidder was not interested & I took to court Alexander Aurelius for misrepresenting the goods & unfair contract terms. If you have a good case go to court I did & they paid up prior.
