This review is for Rock Salt Lamps, Essendon VIC

Beautiful salt lamps, selenite lamps and candles - they've got everything to make your home your happy place.

I started purchasing when I moved out by myself a few years ago and my collection has grown, I won't go anywhere else. The candles smell delicious and I now have a lamp in the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and two in the lounge, plus a selenite lamp to share the lounge.

Great with special orders - I asked for a darker lamp and I was not disappointed, I got a beautiful deep red that looks amazing.

Although they work mostly through online sales, being a local it's so easy to make an appt to go in and see what new lamps come in, or to pick up orders - they were wonderful when I asked to have one shipped to NSW as a gift too

The name says it all

They were late to the job, drove 15kms under the speed limit, it took them 45 minutes to get to Moonee Ponds from Essendon (usually a 5 min trip in peak hour) we also had a drop off to do prior to my things coming to my place, and they packed the first things out at the back of the truck, so wasted more time and money getting them out

They took hours to unload, and severely damaged most of my furniture

$1,000 butchers bench, they broke the wheels off, and tried to put them back on (twice) but only caused more damage

$500 chest, deep scratches and dints all over, and chips and chunks taken out of it

$600 fridge, no longer working

$200 white shelving with scratches all down one side

boxes were brought in upside down - so don't put anything in that will open

Have contacted the company on numerous occasions, with the promise of a resolution, but nothing as small as a phone call back as yet (almost one week)

The manager even said the removalists never saw the fridge in working order, so it can't be confirmed it they are at fault for the fridge, which is interesting, because when they arrived I was emptying out the fridge and they asked if they could have some of the cold water from the fridge

I should mention I was made to pay full price because insurance would cover loss and damages!

*update* was offered $250 compensation, or insurance with an excess cost of $450 payable by me (more than the actual cost of moving) - now in contact with my lawyer

**UPDATE**

OVER $2,500 WORTH OF DAMAGE

Disgusting, after nearly two months of trying to come to a resolution regarding the damage to my furniture, and the company sending me back and forth for quotes - they then had the audacity to say the drivers never saw any damage, therefore the company isnt liable (even after agreeing to have insurance cover the loss and damage). They also said they received my job sheet saying the furniture was received in good condition

I took a photo of the job sheet, outlining what they broke - they weren't too happy when I told them I have evidence!

Approximate cost: $425

This is my local doctor, I go here when I have the sniffels, but have learnt not to go there if I feel my symptoms could be worse.

My partner went in there soon after returning from overseas due to little rashes coming up, they said he had Golden Staph, withour testing. Then finally 2 months later, he is informed (by one of the more qualified doctors) that he actually had scabies!

My friend went in also, she has suffered from eczema her whole life, and she went in with a round rash, which had gotten worse over time, and ended up on the other leg. She went in a number of times to ask what was happening and they kept telling her it was eczema which had become infected - 12 months later! I told her to go back because it looked more like ring worms - so she did, she saw Dr Tran (also a better Dr) and he confirmed they were ringworms, she's finally cleared up after them cream and antibiotics he gave her have started working.

I went in, with yellowish eyes and tired, they took a blood test and told me I have the same symptoms as someone with AIDS! luckily for me, and thank goodness, I simply had a virus!

What a dissapointing experience, considering I've been going to Le Taj regularly.
First time for my other half and he'll never be going back.
Sad to say they didn't get the order right and then argued about it.
What a very, very upsetting and dissapointing experience.
Honestly, I cannot explain just how dissapointing, unpleasant, displeasing, unhappy, upsetting, annoying, frustrating and down right poor and disgusting experience I had.....
I was told they would fix the order and deliver what they had forgotten to make us, then I received a call saying they wouldn't deliver it because they didn't forget anything.
After trying to come to sort of an agreement with 6 hungry mouths to fill, I was then demanded to take the food back.
Upon taking the food back they searched the bag and asked if I wanted cash or the money put back on my card, after 5 -10 minutes, I finally got cash back!
By 9:45pm I finally finished at the supermarket and cooked butter chicken for $15 - for 6 people let me remind you, of course there was no naan or Chicken Tikka, but, I'll always look back at it and laugh.
Mainly laugh about the amount of money and customers I had given them to wind up having such an unpleasant experience.
I'll never be going back, unfortunately neither will my 150+ co-workers
And to think this is what they have listed on the home page of their webiste - "Our consistency to quality and service has voted us the Top Local Favourite Indian restaurant by Melbourne Leader Awards 2010 in West & North Melbourne Region."

I think the fact that this is the only Vietnamese restaurant I continue to return to says it all! They are lovely, all of them.

The food is superb and fresh, and it takes you straight back to Vietnam! This is my all time favourite restaurant!

Approximate cost: $10-15

First time I've ever gotten my eyelashes done, and I can promise it wont be my last.

What a wonderful surprise, and great experience, she was absolutely lovely.

When I finished getting my eyelash extensions done, I went to a social gathering and my friends complimented me and asked what mascara I was wearing, when she found out I wasn't wearing any, she questioned why I usually do when my eyelashes look so pretty naturally (my little secret) - this is why it wont be my last visit

They look beautiful and natural and LONG, but not over the top. I love them, I can't stop looking at my eyes which is rather awkward. :D

I think I might even try a colour next, I love it!

I wake up with awesome eyes, and never need mascara! Thank you so much!
