This review is for Just Cuts, Doncaster VIC

verified email - 24 Mar 2013

I took my toddler son to get his haircut today and I am devastated with the result. I asked for a trim, not too much cut off and we've come away with his hair completely butchered. I appreciate that children can be difficult, however my son was sitting reasonably still, however because he started crying, the hairdresser started to quickly hack away and the result is the most awful haircut. I couldn't say anything at the time because I was so shocked. It is completely uneven from one side to the other around the back and one side is much shorter. I'm going to have to wait for it grow before I can take him to a better hairdresser to get it fixed.

This review is for Dr. Len Kliman, East Melbourne VIC

verified email - 27 Feb 2013

I was referred to Len by my sister-in-law when having my first baby and from the moment I met him, I was instantly relaxed. Len has a great bedside manner, very positive and being an older mum I felt that he was very thorough with my care. I ended up having a difficult birth and Len and his team of midwives were outstanding. I couldn't have asked for a better obstetrician. I'm now having my second child and back to Len. The cost of his service wasn't an issue as I've always been happy with the service he and the team provides.

I shop at this warehouse regularly as they have a good range of products and their service is excellent - they really know their products. I also think they are slightly cheaper than many other places so I think their value for money is pretty good.

This review is for Greythorn Motors, Doncaster VIC

As a family we have been using Greythorn Motors for years to service all of our cars - even following them to Doncaster. We completely trust Simon and the team and feel confident our needs come first. They give advance notice of any work they believe needs addressing and are very accommodating. I can't recommend them highly enough.

This review is for Bizzi Beez, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 27 Feb 2013

We used Bizzi Beez Mornington for a fortnightly cleaning service over a 12-month period. The standard of cleaning is very high and I would certainly recommend them based on their thoroughness. The only gripe I have is around their communication. I had to check every fortnight what time they were turning up as the time of day kept changing, so the first time it happened I wasn't ready for them. Once we had to postpone cleaning as we went away on holiday and the first clean we had back we had to pay a surcharge. I understood the point of the surcharge but would have appreciated them telling me about it when I postponed the cleaning. And since they went on holiday over Christmas I haven't heard from them at all when they might be coming again!

This review is for Pink Frosting, Fyshwick ACT

verified email - 27 Feb 2013

A couple of weeks out from my son's first birthday, I used Pink Frosting because of its range of products and the promise of 20% discount on my purchase. Their site was easy to use. I selected the items and when I paid I also had to enter the date of my event, which gave me confidence I would receive the goods in time. Oh, how wrong I was.

Five days out my goods hadn't arrived and I contacted the site and spoke to the call centre. They couldn't work out what had happened to my order but were confident it would still arrive. The day before the party my items still hadn't arrived, it looked like they had been delivered to someone else in Queensland and I had called the site every day for help with no-one ever calling back!

The following week after the party I rang again to demand a refund (which wouldn't have even covered the time and stress of racing around Melbourne the day before the party to find the same products to replace what didn't arrive) and was assured that it was in progress. Another week went by, I rang again and was told that in line with their Ts&Cs the refund would take three weeks. Six weeks later I am still waiting for my refund. I call on a weekly basis to find out what is happening and no-one from that company ever knows what is going on or ever calls me back. It would have to be one of the worst service websites in Australia. Please save yourself the time, stress and heartache by not spending any money with this company. It borders on fraud.

This review is for Dee's Kitchen, Dromana VIC

verified email - 06 Oct 2012

I have eaten a few times at Dee's and the food is sensational - especially the lunch menu and desserts. We have an infant and each time they have happily accommodated us with our pram in at the table. The two big disappointments I have had there are: 1. At breakfast I ordered a bacon and egg dish - I received one measly piece of bacon! And for the price I thought that was a bit rich 2. Generally the food is overpriced for what you get. The lack of value means it would be unlikely for me to eat there again.

This review is for Hello Charlie, Bundoora VIC

verified email - 22 Aug 2012

It was easy to order online and my goods arrived promptly. Hello Charlie keeps the postage low which helps when ordering bulk goods - it makes it easier to support buying eco products. I also got a personal message thanking me for my business - which was lovely to receive!

Approximate cost: $80
