I really enjoy looking at the OZSALE site, but I'm not sure I would order clothing on there again. I have placed three orders in the past because the prices were great, but the quality of the items showed that you do get what you pay for sometimes. I would only use the site for brands I know of and can be fairly certain the quality will be good. I would also advise not to order if you want your items quickly. One order took over a month to be despatched to me as some are sent from overseas warehouses. Still fun scrolling through the sales though!

I love the brandsExclusive site. They have a good variety of sales, and I have purchased from them three times now. My first two orders came quickly, but I have been waiting a long time for my most recent order. You can usually find some awesome bargains on there, but just be aware that sometimes when you order small amounts or add in the delivery charge you may not be getting the items cheaper than in a store. Overall they are usually great value and it's a fun site to visit.

This review is for Woolworths Online, Sydney NSW

I decided to place an order with Woolworths Online after not using them for a while. I had stopped using them after one of my deliveries arrived almost an hour later than the agreed three hour delivery time. Today my delivery yet again has not turned up. I rang the call centre, and was left on hold for over thirteen minutes. Once I spoke to someone they said they would check their system for late notifications, and said the driver hadn't notified them he was running late. She tried to call him a number of times while I was on the phone, and said his phone was turned off. I was told she would keep trying and call me back if she got an answer. My delivery still has not arrived, and I have absolutely no idea what is going on, or even if it will turn up! Luckily I did not have plans for the rest of the day as I obviously am expected to just wait around and hope it gets here. Coles Online make you pick a two hour delivery time, and manage to arrive during those two hours. Woolworths Online make you select a three hour delivery time, so I don't understand why they are still late. I personally think their prices are better, and their web site is great, they certainly need to look at their delivery system and customer service though!

This review is for Victory Curtains & Blinds, Newtown VIC

verified email - 28 Mar 2013

I got new micro venetian blinds for all of the windows in my house except for one block out blind in the bedroom. I made some choices in the showroom, and then finalised color choices and styles in my own home when a measure up was done. I loved how patient they were when I made a few changes. The price isn't the cheapest on the market, but I wanted good quality and service, so was happy.

This review is for Coles Online, Hawthorn East VIC

I was using Coles Online frequently for a while, but I kept having problems with my orders. Things didn't turn up, I was over charged, items were damaged and one item was even mouldy inside the jar. The call centre staff were fantastic. They always compensated me for these issues, and were understanding, but the measures they took didn't stop it happening. The final straw for me was finding out that they charge more for most of the items I was buying online than they do in store. I had no idea about this, I thought the only extra cost I had was the delivery charge. When I worked out the total cost overall it was far more than I was willing to pay for this service.

This review is for Belmont Library, Belmont VIC

Probably my favorite of the libraries in Geelong, the Belmont Library is in a great location with free parking and updated facilities. The staff are friendly, and even though collections are rotated through all of the libraries, Belmont does always seem to have a great selection. You can also take care of any City Of Greater Geelong needs at their customer service desk in the same building. Very convenient.

This review is for Geelong Library, Geelong VIC

The staff at the Geelong Library are very helpful and friendly. I usually am given more information there than I am at the other two libraries that I use in the Geelong area. I usually pick the items I want from the online catalogue and arrange to collect them from the Geelong Library. They also have nice seated areas to relax and look through the books or magazines. Can't wait for the new upgrade to happen!

This review is for Waterlife Aquarium, Geelong West VIC

verified email - 28 Mar 2013

I started buying reptile food at Waterlife Aquarium after having difficulty with supply from two other stores. They are very well stocked and have never let me down. The store also has a good range of fish and tanks, snakes and lizards, rats, birds, rabbits and guinea pigs and most accessaries you may need. Staff are very friendly and the prices are reasonable too.

This review is for Anglesea Hotel, Anglesea VIC

verified email - 27 Mar 2013

Friends took me to the Anglesea Hotel for lunch, and told me that had been once before and loved it. I ordered the steak from the specials board. Our meals were taking quite a long time to come out. We asked the bar tender to check on them and the chef came to say they were nearly done. Once they arrived we realised why they had taken longer, the steak on my plate was about three times the size I was expecting! I was completely impressed, the meals were worth waiting for. I would have to say it was one of the best steaks I have ever had! I wish it was on there regular menu so I could get it regularly. Great quality and value for money. Highly recommend.

This review is for Buckley's Entertainment Centre, Breakwater VIC

verified email - 27 Mar 2013

I have had lunch with friends at Buckley's quite frequently because they like the location, but I have always been disappointed with my meals there. If given the option of chips and salad or vegetables I would suggest not getting the veggies as mine have been dry, hard and unappealing. The meals are a good size, just a bit bland for my liking. Overall pretty disappointing.
