Good value for the money

Compared with the high street shops I was paying about a third more for the same item here. The price was the main reason I went with them and I'm glad I did. Ordering was easy and the parcel came in two days. Good value, nothing extra to pay on top.

Good price, sensible service

Paid well under what I'd have spent elsewhere for the same drill bit set, and it does the job. Nothing about the order was complicated and it arrived the next working day. Good value, plain and simple, and I'd buy from them again for anything I need regularly.

Decent but slow to arrive

I bought a set of kitchen scales from them as a first order and they did the job. The problem was delivery, which took just over a week when the site said three to four days. Customer support was fine when I emailed, just a bit slow to reply, a couple of days. The price was a touch higher than I expected too. Works fine now, but I'd think twice about needing it in a hurry.

Still my first choice

I'd say they're still the first place I look for garden tools, and I've been a customer for about ten years now. The quality has been reliable and the prices are fair for what you get. Returns have always been straightforward when something wasn't right, and they've never made me jump through hoops. The whole thing runs smoothly, which is what I want from a supplier at my age. I keep going back because it's just easy.

Way quicker than my usual

Compared to the big name site I usually use this was miles quicker to check out, no faffing with account logins. Ordered on the bus home and it was sorted before I got off. Delivery came the next day which was a nice surprise. Would use again for sure, its just easier on my phone.

Needed a birthday present quickly

I'd forgotten my sister's birthday until the week before, so I needed something I could get in time. Found a lovely candle set on their site and ordered it at lunch. It turned up in plenty of time and was packed nicely with tissue paper. Very pleased, she loved it.

My go to for baby stuff

I've been buying nappies and wipes from them since my first was born, so this is my third round. What I bought this time was a pack of muslin cloths and they're as soft as the last lot. Shipping has always been on time and the order emails are clear. Nothing has ever gone wrong, so I'll keep going back.

sizing was a bit off

I've bought plenty of work boots online over the years so I know my sizing. These came out narrower in the toe than the listing suggested, which is the main thing that stood out. The leather itself is decent and the sole feels well made. Delivery was prompt and the boots arrived in a sturdy box. I went through their returns process and it wasn't too bad, though it took a while to get my refund sorted.

ended up choosing them

I needed a new travel kettle for a holiday flat and wanted something compact. I compared three sites and they had the best price on the model I wanted, so that's the main reason I went with them. The order was easy enough but the delivery took four days when I'd been told two, which was annoying. The kettle itself is great and works well on the foreign plug adapter. A small niggle, but otherwise I'd order again.

First order, mostly good

The first thing I noticed was how clear the product photos were, which made picking a pair of trainers easier. They arrived in good condition and the size was right. Only issue was a faded sticker on the box that stuck to the sides. Otherwise fine, and I'd order again.

Booked the gig tickets

Got tickets for a gig through the app and it was dead easy. Paid, got the QR code straight away in my wallet. Took about two minutes start to finish. Would use again.

Same reliable service for years

What stands out to me after years of ordering is how consistent they've stayed. Even when the range changed, the delivery windows have stayed reliable and the tracking updates are accurate. I've had maybe one slow order in all that time. Staff have always been pleasant when I've needed to ring them.

needed a new pair of blinds

We'd just moved into a flat with awkward windows and needed blinds that would fit without too much drilling. I wanted something cheap but decent and this fitted the budget well. Ordering was painless and the blinds came within a few days. They're lovely quality for the price and the fitting instructions were clear.

Sensible prices

Compared to the supermarket online, this was a fair bit cheaper for the same brand of tea and biscuits. I'd been putting off ordering because I thought it would be fiddly. It wasn't, and everything arrived well packed. Happy with that.

No fuss, good value

Wanted a replacement shower head and this was a good deal against the plumbers' merchants. Ordering was quick and the price was lower than I'd paid before. Fitted it myself and it's worked well.

lamp arrived fine

I looked at a few places before picking this bedside lamp, mainly because of the reviews and the price. The lamp arrived in one piece and looks just like the photos. The only thing that let it down was the instructions, which were pretty vague about the bulb fitting. Had to look it up online to sort it out. Otherwise it's a good buy.

way easier than the other app

Compared to the other app I use for this stuff, this one is much quicker to get through checkout. Didn't have to type my details in every time and the saved address just worked. Order came next day, nothing to moan about. Would use again.

Smooth first time

Really happy with how it went for my first time using them. The application took about ten minutes on my phone and I got a decision the same day. The money landed in my account the next working day, no problems. Repayments are set up by direct debit so I haven't had to think about them since. Good, simple process.

Needed a new charger fast

My old phone charger had packed up the night before I was going away for work, so I needed something quick. I found this site through a search and was a bit wary as I'd never bought from them. The order went through without any fuss and I had the charger the next morning. It works perfectly and the cable feels sturdy. Nothing to complain about at all, I just wish I'd known about them sooner.
