Replacement filter sorted

Ordered the replacement water filter on my phone while waiting for the kettle to boil. Arrived next day in a proper box. Fits perfectly and the taste is back to normal. Would order again.

Ordered the hair straighteners

Ordered the hair straighteners at lunch on my phone, checkout was dead easy. Arrived the next morning in a little padded bag. They heat up fast and the plates feel nice. Would buy again.

Sound value for the money

This is good value for what you pay, and I'd say that's the main reason I'd order from them again. The site is easy to use and the item turned up in good nick. Only small gripe is the shipping charge on a small order, which made it less of a bargain than the headline price suggested.

The price per unit sold it

The price per unit was lower than the two other places I checked, and that's what made me go with them. Ordering was quick and I had a question about sizing which they answered the same day.

The returns bit was fiddly

I've bought from them a few times over the years and the range is still good. This time I had to send something back because the size was off, and the returns form made me jump through several hoops before I got a label. The refund was fine once it got there, just took longer than I'd have liked. Would keep using them for the everyday stuff.

good stuff for the price

I compared a few options before ordering and this came out cheapest for the same brand of baby monitor. It works well and the picture is clear enough for what I need. The only niggle was that the delivery slot I picked got moved by a day, but the parcel came in one piece.

Good shout

Honestly really good, would use again. Ordered on a Friday night, had it Tuesday, and the box was fine. Only thing was the checkout asked me to make an account first which was a bit of a pain.

the replacement fuse box cover

I was after a replacement fuse box cover for an older cupboard and the detail that stood out was how clearly the fitting instructions were laid out online. The cover came in good order and fitted the existing screws without trouble. The price was sensible and delivery was prompt, which I appreciated. Everything I needed was there when it arrived.

Sorted the boiler service booking

Booked my boiler service through their site and the first available slot was about ten days out, which was fine. The price was a bit more than the local firm I usually use, so I did wonder if I'd overpaid. The engineer turned up on the day and did the job properly, nothing to complain about really, just not the bargain I was expecting.

quick and cheap car insurance

Got my car insurance quote on the site in about ten minutes and the renewal price came out lower than what I was paying last year. I didn't have to ring anyone which suited me. Documents came through by email straight after I paid, and the cover is exactly what I asked for. Renewed again no bother.

better than the big chain

I used to buy this kind of thing from the big chain down the road, and switching to this place saved me a fair bit on the same kit. It's taken a few orders now and every one has arrived well packed and on time. The sizing guide on the site helped me pick the right one first time. Long-time customer and not planning to change.

Needed a new pair of slippers

I needed a new pair of slippers because my old ones had worn through at the heel. I've been ordering from them for years and they've never let me down.

first order and really pleased

Really pleased with my first order, the pair of bedside lamps arrived in one piece and the bulbs were already fitted. Signing up took a couple of minutes and the checkout was quick on my phone. The lamps are a bit smaller than the photos suggested but they still look nice in the bedroom, and delivery came the day after I ordered, which I didn't expect. I'll be back for more.

The electric pressure washer

I bought the electric pressure washer last summer to deal with the patio and the drive, and it has been reliable ever since. The hose connections clicked together without any fuss. Delivery came in a sturdy box and nothing was damaged. I've had a few from other shops over the years and this one is the one I'd pick.

tried a few places first

I'd looked at three other shops for the same garden hose reel before going with this one, mainly because they had the cheapest version in stock. The reel itself does the job but the hose kinks more than I'd like and I had to fiddle with it. Ordering was quick and it arrived in two days. A bit of a bargain but not perfect.

slightly more than the rival

I've been a regular here for years and this is the first time I've compared them against a rival site, which was marginally cheaper on the same item. The order was easy and the goods were well packed. I'd still probably stick with them for convenience, as the returns process is painless when you need it.

way smoother than the last place

Compared with the high street shop I used to go to, ordering here took about five minutes and I didn't have to queue or find a parking space. Everything arrived in one go and it was exactly what I'd picked. Very happy so far.

Lovely replacement shower head

I ordered a replacement shower head with the matching hose from the site last week and it arrived very well packed, which I did appreciate. The fitting was a doddle and the spray is far better than the old one. Customer service on the phone was patient with me when I had a question about the thread size, and I'm grateful for that.

Needed new kitchen gear fast

We needed a replacement kettle and a set of storage tubs quickly because ours had both cracked within a month. I wanted something that would last without costing a fortune. The prices were decent for what you get and the delivery was quick. The packaging was more than it needed to be, but the items were fine.

Not what i was hoping for

We've been using them for years for our Christmas and birthday bits because the range is usually good and the prices are fair. This time the order came in a week later than the date they gave me, and when I rang the customer line nobody got back to me for three days. The item itself was fine but I expected better after all this time.
