better than the big chains for this

Compared with ordering direct from the big chain, this was a bit quicker to find what I wanted. First order though, so I was a bit nervous about whether it would turn up right. It did, though the delivery took a day longer than the tracking first said. Packaging was decent and the item matched the photos.

reordering the tea every month

I've had the loose leaf breakfast tea from them every month for about six years now. Last order I noticed the packet looked the same as always, which I like. Delivery has been on time every single time, and the customer service person who sorted an old order for me was kind and quick.

decent value but not the cheapest

Compared them with a big supermarket delivery and they were a bit more for the same stuff, though the basket total wasn't far off once you factor in the delivery charge elsewhere. Everything turned up in one go which saved me a second trip. Packaging was fine, a couple of tins had a dent but nothing that mattered.

Quick order but slow to ship

Ordered a phone case, it came in a few days but took longer than I thought it would. Got a bit annoyed when no updates came through for a while. Still, it's fine and the case fits.

Needed a replacement charger fast

Needed a new charger for my laptop before a work trip so I was in a rush. Ordered in the evening on my phone and it turned up next morning, just in time. Checkout was easy enough on mobile, saved my card details and everything.

Tried a few places for a drill battery

Compared a few places for a spare drill battery and this one had the best price by a fair margin. The item I got was the right one, though the photo made the connector look a bit different from the real thing. Arrived quickly and the packaging was solid.

Best of the lot we looked at

Went with them after comparing about four other sites and they came out on top for the money. The order arrived when they said it would and the box was properly sealed, which I always check for. Would happily order again, the checkout took me about two minutes start to finish and I didn't have to make an account.

Good value but delivery was slow

Compared it with a shop in town and the price was a fair bit lower on the same kitchen scales. Delivery took well over a week though, and I had to chase them with an email. The scales work well and the value is good.

Needed a gift last minute

Needed something for my mate's birthday on Friday and this was the only place that still had next day. Ordered on my phone during lunch, took about two minutes, arrived Thursday. Easy, nothing to complain about.

Good value for garden bulbs

They are good value for the money, the tulip bulbs were around a third cheaper than the garden centre and the bag was full. Ordering was simple and the confirmation email came straight away. Delivery was the usual courier, nothing to report.

Compared to the supermarket app

Compared with the supermarket app this was quicker to search and the prices were easier to see. Ordered on my phone during my lunch break, took about five minutes. Parcel landed the next day, all in one piece.

Checked three sites before this

Checked three other sites before settling here because the price was lowest on the bits I wanted. Basket was simple and I got an order number straight away. The dishwasher spray arm I got came on time.

Bought a cheap desk lamp

Honestly this is a good buy for a desk lamp, I paid less than I expected and it works well. I'd ordered from them before for a bit of stationery so I knew what to expect. The lamp came in a box with no damage and the light is bright enough for late night uni work. The only thing I'd say is the cable is a bit short, but for the price I'm not bothered. Would sort it again.

New kettle arrived well packed

I ordered a cordless kettle from them last month and it arrived in very good order, packed neatly with plenty of padding round the base. I did wonder whether it would be a fuss to send back if needed, but I haven't had to find out yet. It boils quickly and the switch feels sturdy, which is what I wanted.

sign up was a faff

Needed a new phone charger so I went to sign up and the verification code took ages to come through. Then the basket kept dropping my item and I had to add it again. Eventually got it, but I wouldn't rate the checkout much.

sign up took a while

The main thing I noticed was how long the sign up took, the verification email took about twenty minutes to arrive and I had to check my spam folder. Once I was in, ordering the garden hose fittings was straightforward and the price was fair. Delivery came two days later, which was perfectly reasonable.

Still my first choice after years

I've been ordering from them for close on ten years now and the quality has stayed the same. The customer service people have always been helpful when I've needed them. Delivery is reliable and the prices haven't gone up as much as elsewhere.

ordered a printer ink bundle

Bought a bundle of printer ink as my first order here and I was really happy with it. The bundle had all the colours I needed and the price was clearly lower than the high street. The order confirmation came straight through and it was delivered the next working day, no problems at all. I'll be ordering again when the cartridges run low.

Cast iron pan seasoning

The pan came pre seasoned which I liked, though the surface is a bit rougher than the Lodge I had before. I know cast iron well and I'd have liked a bit more detail on the page about the weight. It cooks evenly and the handle stays cool enough.
