Tamworth Buslines offer a good service, but it really needs to be more frequent. The service which they offered during the Country Music Festival, running busses every half hour, 7 days a week (including public holiday) until 2-3am with a ten day ticket for ten dollars was fabulous. If only this level of service could be extended to locals; we only get busses every hour or two and they run only 6.5 days a week and only up until 6pm - and NEVER on public holidays when they are most needed.
The introduction of at least one later bus in the evening from town would be of great benefit for pub, clu, movie goers and late night shoppers.
Having said this, the drivers are fabulous and look after us all!
I have only just signed up with YOURVOICE.com after reading reviews on WOMO... this far I am impressed. Only 200 points are required to receive a $20 reward card and after 24 hours and only two surveys I am almost half way there.
It takes months, literally on most other survey sites to aquire $20-30 in rewards.
I like it when sites appreciate their 'workers' and treat them as 'worth their salt'. It takes nothing to show a little professional decency.
Last week I bought a cheap vodaphone pre-paid mobile for $19 as I was told by the girl at the counter that I could use a virgin sim in it. Turns out it was a vodaphone 'tricksy trick' and a few people have been caught out by this (you can use virgin sims in any vodaphone but not on the cheapest 1616 model on the market)
The staff at K-Mart were fabulous when I rang today and said just bring it in and we'll refund or exchange it for you, no problems. That's service as it should be.
I'm very greatful and very impressed.
These people are fabulous fabulous fabulous! I cannot recommend them enough. Online ordering is so simplistic and delivery as far away as tamworth only takes a day or two, depending on how early in the day you get your order in. I am always checking for clearance items! Their refund policy is spectacular, no problems, instant refund if not happy and over the phone they are helpful like you wouldn't believe.
If all online businesses used this as a model, the online shopping world would sky-rocket! I'd certainly do more of it!
I love Eagle Boys Pizza's. These boys (and girls!) have always gone out of their way to give me what I love. Once when they got the order mixed up they fixed it and gave me a full refund. Another time they forgot the tomatoes and sent an additional pizza with tomatoes on it, free of charge and sent me a desert in apology! Ray the manager was was great. Good prices, fresh ingredients and fat pizzas! Love 'em!
The locals would be lost without the drivers who do the local bus routes for Hannafords in Tamworth. These guys are fantastic; friendly, attentive. Nothing is too much trouble; they are always helpful. Other bus company's sometimes make you feel rushed and as though you are somehow an inconvenience in the fact that you are stepping aboard, but the drivers at Hannafords make you feel an individually valued member of the community. More than once I have had one of these drivers divert their track (a little, once, and a whole LOT another time) to get me where I needed to be safely. I for one would be lost without their flag down service from anywhere, if they're passing.
An invaluable asset to the Tamworth community.
Approximate cost: $1.50 - $5.00 to anywhere in town it goes
I couldn't get into this website either. It was disappointing, as I need cheap lights and heard this was a good sight from which to procure some!!
FREE website hosting, VERY easy to use. I had no experience whatsoever with building websites and within a week I had mine set up. They have great search engine ratings. Every website has a built in contact form. Ptretty much you just fill in the spaces and press save; website built. The best web host on the web in my opinion; only trouble is you can't buy your own domain (for a DIRT CHEAP price!) unless you're a German citizen. Frankly though, you don't need your own domain. The web address is simple (yourdomainname).beep.com
I like Amazon, it has a fantastic range of products for great prices. I wish the postage was cheaper. My biggest frustration is that if you want to sell an item on there you can only sell a product that is already listed.
It takes so looooong to upload videos on youtube; you really need to be sure your happy before you do! I like the sight and use it often to hear rare songs or look for music. People say they make a lot of money out of it, but I can figure out how! :(
