This review is for Chalmers Tyre, Alexandria NSW

verified email - 17 Oct 2013

Flat tyres are no fun - especially on the week-end. First thing Monday morning Chalmers had the tyre fixed, and back on my car in double quick time. Really great service, and it didn't cost the earth either. What really made me happy was the quick 're-fit' of the repaired tyre onto the vehicle; they didn't just say "Here's your repaired tyre, now you refit it"

Approximate cost: $28

Best price for 'Advocate' (Flea & worm treatment) for my dog, in Sydney was $117. Got it for $89 from Budget - and it only took 3 days by post. Great saving, and great service. I'll be going back to them - rather than local vets/pet stores

Approximate cost: $89

Staff are cheerful, efficient and helpful. Meat is always good quality, and prices are reasonable - better value than Woolworths Meat

This review is for MegaBuy, Lawnton QLD

It took them over two weeks to deliver the goods. They DON'T have any stock - in their (so called) store - they merely ship (from a warehouse) in Sydney. I'm only 5 kms from their warehouse - and it still took them 2 weeks to deliver to my home. Imagine what would happen if you lived in the outback of Queensland, or West Australia. They took forever to respond - and kept giving nothing but excuses. By the time I added in the extra cost(s) they put on the order I could have got the items faster, and CHEAPER, by driving to Officeworks, or Dick Smith.

Approximate cost: $50 +

This review is for ALDI, Marrickville NSW

George, the Manager, is generally fairly good. But (especially) the girls on the checkouts (particularly Kala & Suzanne) are really great. Always smiling & helpful - and really try to look after everyone in an excellent way. They're fast, and efficient, and get things flowing the way they should - unlike my experience(s) with Woolworths. The value at Aldi makes me a repeat customer - because of the better deal than you get at either Coles or Woolworths.

Approximate cost: $120

This review is for Erskineville Chemist, Erskineville NSW

They've re-opened after the last 'mob' raided the license - and then moved up to Newtown. That left us without OUR Pharmacy - they didn't care. NOW we've got honest, reliable, service again - far better than the dis-service the last mob passed off as 'service'. Thanks to Rainbow Chemist for 're-opening' the (much needed) Pharmacy in Erskineville.

Approximate cost: $11.20

The girls are very professional & competent. Always happy & cheerful. Prices are good - compared to many to-day. The guys in the hairdressers are very skilled. A well run family business, that offers great service.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Pet Vets, Petersham NSW

Extremely professional. Got straight to the problem with 'Sheba' that other vets hadn't. Extremely courteous & competent, and quite reasonably priced.

Approximate cost: $110

This review is for National Warranty Company Pty Ltd, Traralgon VIC

This 'mob' are a "rip off". If you're offered a (so called) Warranty for your car - and it's from them - demand the car dealer give you the amount they will pay for the (so called) warranty OFF the price of the vehicle. YOU will be better off. This company is a JOKE - and I'd suggest you NEVER DEAL WITH THEM.

Approximate cost: $1000

Ther most incompetent business it has ever been my experience to deal with, They offer cheap prices - and that's what seems to bring the people in - but they are the most incompetent pharmacy I've ever dealt with. The Government should investigate them - and remove their license to operate
