This review is for Comfort Shoes Warehouse, Tuggerah NSW

verified email - 16 Jun 2012

This store has a large range of shoes for men, women and children's school shoes. Quality brands such as Clarks, Hush Puppies and Planet stocked all either discounted or competitively priced. It is a self serve store but staff members are active all the time to help with finding what you want. My daughter purchased a great pair of leather boots at 60% off and I found a great pair of shoes for myself reduced by 30%. I will shop there again as there are not too many places that stock half sizes. One disadvantage is that the aisles are not very wide so with lots of people milling around it gets a bit awkward when trying the shoes on.

This review is for Temando, Fortitude Valley QLD

verified email - 11 Jun 2012

Temando has access to 200 carriers so that they can provide the best possible shipping/courier quote. The site is easy to use and takes all the hassle out of doing personal online searches. For Ebay users it can be integrated into your Ebay account or just use for a one off send and deliver. The website is simple and easy to use. For businesses that ship multiple parcels discounts are offered and for the business user eCommerce solutions are available. Communication is good and the staff member I dealt with (Jessica) could not have been more helpful and seemed to genuinely want to provide an excellent customer experience. This was customer service at it's best.

This review is for Allied Express, Rosehill NSW

verified email - 11 Jun 2012

This company was booked to pick up an item and transport it to Queensland. I waited in all day but you've guessed it no one turned up neither did they call or put anything in the tracking information. I tried to contact their NSW office via email but the page contained a very odd message that it had been shut down due to slander and abuse - what was that all about? It is now functioning again in a normal manner. The buyer who had booked this company phoned hoping for a following day collection but was told Monday would be the earliest. The buyer met with rudeness from the representative on the phone. Monday came but the driver was late, no word from Allied Express. Now I have to add that this was booked via Temando who are part of Ebay's delivery and postage services. I cannot fault them but I would be reluctant to use Allied Express again, my experience is that customer service needs a lot of improvement

This review is for Just Cuts, Tuggerah NSW

verified email - 04 Jun 2012

I made a spur of the moment decision to get my hair restyled although I had been thinking about it. Visiting the hairdresser is usually a mild traumatic event for me as I find it so hard to find hair stylists on the Coast who can cut well and let's face it if the cut is good the style will take care of itself. So based on past experiences I will not pay out for the more expensive hairdressers. My stylist was friendly and I had a picture with me of the result I wanted and she assured me she could do it.
As often happens I lost a little bit more length than I intended but the overall end result was close to what I wanted and I left the salon happy with my new style. I had my hair blown dry to finish it off. Just Cuts are always busy but once you leave your name there is no need to wait around as a time will be given to return. I like it that Just Cuts guarantee their cuts and because that is all they do the staff are very experienced. Some are better than others but that is true where ever you go. I also like that feedback is welcomed and important and a cards are on the front desk with contact details. My stylist was Alison - well done to her

This review is for Berkeley Vale Private Hospital, Berkeley Vale NSW

verified email - 04 Jun 2012

This was the first time I have been to this hospital and it was only for a day procedure. Parking was not an issue for me as I was dropped off and collected later. I found the staff to be pleasant and friendly. As a RN myself I can be more critical than most but the nurses I encountered 'went by the book'. The anaesthetists immediately put me at ease and my doctor excellent. I did not notice the cafe until I was leaving but I was pleasantly surprised at the variety and prices. Only small in comparison to other hospitals but that doesn't mean the quality of care is less - often the reverse is true.

This review is for Acropolis Yeeros Chinese Takeaway, Woy Woy NSW

verified email - 26 May 2012

I was taken to this takeaway by a family member and quite frankly it is not my cup of tea but I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken and chips I had and my companions all enjoyed their kebabs. Really weird name but they do a wide range of takeaway foods and everything is cooked to order so hot and fresh. You can order online via menumate.com.au and book a table. However, I think most people would be disappointed if they did book a table as it is predominantly a takeaway. It seems to be busy so I conclude it is popular with locals. They do a $6 lunch deal - that's hard to beat.

This review is for Darrell Lea, Lake Haven NSW

verified email - 22 May 2012

I am not a fan of Darrell Lea as I find their products too insipid for my tastes but judging by the number of stores in this franchise I am in a minority. They do a very good soft liquorice and I quite like their sherbert fountain although it is not as good as the UK one. My daughter loves the coffee creams but on this occasion found the chocolate casing was too hard and this spoilt her enjoyment. To be fair they have a vast array of 'sweets' and they always do special packs for events during the year. The staff are friendly and helpful

This review is for Holdsworth House Medical Practice, Darlinghurst NSW

verified email - 22 May 2012

I had to visit this practice when I needed an emergency appointment and I found the staff to be professional and the surgery to be efficient but relaxed. I was particularly impressed by Dr Gowers who really took an interest in my well being. If I lived in Sydney I would make him my family GP

This review is for Target, Tuggerah NSW

verified email - 20 May 2012

I have shopped in many Target stores because I think they offer good value for money especially for babies and children's wear and if I am not happy with a purchase I can get a refund with the minimum of fuss, They now offer a shop and drop service so shopping can be picked up later whilst continuing shopping elsewhere but what I found particularly good is that for a large store the staff are more than willing to help. For example I used a small trolley but bought more than I intended and without being asked the assistant had another staff member bring a full size trolley. the staff are always pleasant and friendly

This review is for Park Cafe, Alexandria NSW

verified email - 15 May 2012

I was taken here for a Mother's Day dinner and I enjoyed everything about this restaurant from the decor and charming hostess to the delicious food. Very nice atmosphere and good service. I know this is a popular spot for brunch and lunch but the evening menu is good and it is well worth a visit.
