Reviews about «GigaFix - Computer repairs»
My daughter was studying the Oxford this summer and ran into some MAJOR issues with her computer. We are from America, so I was obviously very far away, so we found GigaFix online and she visited there. Andrew and his team at GigaFix were amazing. They were very kind and very helpful, and did everything they could to get the situation fixed. I would recommend them to anyone who needs computer help!
2019.08.08 15:00
Had a laptop that wasn't working, GigaFix diagnosed the problem within 2 days. The hard drive needed replacing and they charged a reasonable price for the repair. Friendly staff that knew what they were talking about. Would recommend to anyone. Great service.
2019.07.22 14:12
GigaFix recently did a great job for me. I needed a replacement battery for my ageing iPhone 6A. More worryingly the re-charging connection wasn’t working properly, and I thought I was going to have to buy a new phone.
Less than 3 hours after going into the GigaFix shop they had replaced the battery and solved the charging problem for a fraction of the cost of a new iPhone. I’m delighted with the result.
I should also say how helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly the staff are.
2019.08.03 07:43
Came to get a stripped and stuck heat sink screw removed and replaced. Unlike all the other shops around these guys actually knew the equipment they would need. (Note that they do charge more than other places due to their superior expertese)
Turned out their extractor set was missing the right size bit so it took a few days longer than expected but they cleaned out those hard to reach fan vents as compensation. :D
Very pleased overall.
2019.08.09 16:38
Friendly, fixed my laptop and were very clear and transparent about how their pricing works. Would definitely use them again.

This was a most delightful experience, they were helpful, polite & very informative. I was helped and updated throughout the whole process. And I will most definitely be in contact when I have queries & repairs. Thank goodness for Computer Assistance Oxford brilliant. All of the members of staff as amazing as the other. Thank you.
2019.07.23 19:27
Wouldn't hesitate to use them again. All those I had contact with were knowledgeable, friendly & polite. Listened to my requirements & gave me different options & then went through them all with me to see which would best suit me. Didn't blind me with computer speak so I could actually understand what they meant.
2019.08.06 06:46
I rely on Computer Assistance to do the jobs on my Mac that I don't want to do, like upgrades and installing antivirus etc. They are always very thorough. This time Jimi did several jobs and it's all worked out fine. I also got some good advice from Peter on a couple of long-standing issues, so that was really useful too.
2019.06.20 15:46
Golden service! It is so refreshing to find a business as professional and helpful as Computer Assistance, providing old-fashioned customer care in the rapidly-changing world of IT. Despite my arriving near the end of the working day, staff advised me carefully, found me exactly what I needed and emailed me the links for software and accessories, so I was able to get set up the same evening.
2019.05.09 09:09
People here very helpful and approachable; when I had difficulty with my updated desktop, help was forthcoming over the phone!

Quick and friendly knowledgeable.. thanks for sorting my laptop mark.
2019.04.27 20:47
Wish I had gone to Mark first rather than sending my broken laptop back to the manufacturers. They were going to charge a fortune and didn't offer to recover my data. He turned my supposedly broken hard drive into a portable one for a very reasonable price and gave it to me with the key files on it.
2018.09.15 19:51
Great service.
2019.03.08 07:47
I don't know how the services are because no one is picking up the phone or be at the adress. I've tried several times to call, but was all for nothing.

Reviews about «Oxon IT Support Oxford»
On of the best services I have chosen for laptop computer repairs, was very reliable fast and accurate with his work. Great business and would recommend it to any one, as the prices are cheap and fast service, they replaced my laptop computer screen within 40 minutes if not less! 5 star service. Thank you
2019.05.26 09:34
Not a very good experience. Arrived under the rain in the morning and the office was closed. This was after calling ahead and letting them know I was coming. Had to wait under the rain for 5mins. Very impatient and really poor customer service. Solved the technical issue though. But not my best experience so far in Oxford.
2019.07.23 10:18
Always very helpful with my PC and laptop computer issues. Certainly recommend to others
2019.08.07 12:03
Quick on-site computer support. Computer and printer issue resolved. Thanks
2019.08.14 09:52
Naveed has worked wonders with my laptop and pc. I was about to replace them both but on his recomendation I'll be getting 3 more years good use out of them by simply replacing the hard disks with faster SDD and updating the operating system. With climate change irrevocably in the news...everyone ought to bring in their slowing IT kit to Naveed's to make it run like new again without costing the earth.

Helpful staff. Convenient access. But there again I am a share holder lol
2019.11.29 17:15
Well a little less really. I went in to see if they had a package which I had sent for. According to them it was delivered on 27th,possibly because it wouldn't fit the letterbox. But I had no notification and only fou d out from ebay. Anyway the assistant said it had been delivered to my address that day. I get home no package!!! I think they just said it to get rid of me. So not happy!

Reviews about «Northcourt Post Office»
Jobsworthy thieves.
I came in to get a certified copy of my passport, the guy happily took £12.75 for the privilege of stamping the copy I gave him, and did not tell me I was entitled to three copies.
Found this out, came back for my other two copies, and explained this to the woman who happily stamped my copies and then demanded another £12.75 .
Don’t come here, they will try and rip you off.
2019.08.05 10:59
Tried to send a pair of teeth retainers and paid 40 pds only to see them delivered back to my home. Staff didn't spot the problem and refused to refund, refused to contact parcel world and did not offer a claim form for non-delivery claim. Staff at the desk two ladies completely clueless and hapless. One did make an effort to be kind the other went inside and refused to talk to me. The manager a chubby young man equally incompetent. If staff cannot cope decently with the public they should stay well hidden in the store.
2019.07.20 19:56
Very slow service, the man and woman serving the customers could see there was a massive queue and still decided to move slower than ever with her current customer and the man let people push in the queue and not say anything, I would rather travel to a different branch in or even OUT of Abingdon to send my parcel rather than come here, the staff need to sort themselves out and have 4 at the desk! slow service!!!

Unfriendly , always on the phone , tuts if you have more than 1 item to post.
2019.09.27 18:35
According to the Post Office Branch Finder website, this branch is "Open today 08:00-20:00." Imaging my surprise when, around 19:20 today, I arrived with a parcel to drop off, only to be told that the Post Office had already closed. I pointed out the difference from the hours stated online and asked that they accept the parcel nonetheless (the delivery had already been bought, paid for, printed & attached) but was told this was impossible.
2018.08.22 18:38
I went in to get cash out for the bus, I asked for a tenner and he took out 30 from the account. I almost walked out with only a tenner as that was what I asked for... then he took his time reading through the receipt and checking my card before letting me have the rest of my money and I missed my bus, making me late for my train, costing me £15... and my time...

Friendly and professional. good range of services. Continued presence VITAL to Abingdons survival as a community.
2019.09.20 14:51
Booked an appointment to open the account. Got the text with confirmation.
30min after appointment time I asked one of the staff about when I gone be served.
They have been suppressed that I’m here at all as they have not recorded the appointment at all. Also can’t be served today as there is no available slots. So I took a day off work, paying for the car park and fuel and waisted my time and nerves to be send away. This place is proper waist of time. I didn’t aspected so unprofessional treatment from bank society.
I guess that it’s not for me and will have to go somewhere else to open my business account.
2019.07.03 10:06
Very fast service, the team were professional and they sorted out my request. It’s a lovely building and seems all new inside. It almost doesn’t seem like a bank! Very happy with this NawWest bank!

I am very disappointed that it is impossible to get through to this bank direct. I have tried phoning constantly this morning, with the direct number, so that I can arrange a visit with a disabled client. They pick up the phone after ten minutes and disconnect it.
Really not impressed.

Reviews about «Santander»
Well try and get through to the tel number shown on the Abingdon Bury St website, absolutely impossible, all I wanted to do was cancel an appointment as I had a heavy cold, tried 5 times put my card number in as requested and the voice said does not recognise the number. When I eventually got through to an advisor she put me through, the phone rang and rang and then the line went dead. After more calls I got through in the end, but it will drive anyone up the wall especially when not well. Next time I need to cancel an appointment I would rather just not show up not worth the hassle and cost of the calls.

I've always had good experience with them either it was when my card got blocked they solved it quite easily or any other transactions ive made
2019.07.06 07:12
On 2nd of March 2019 I did an international money transfer (£6000) from Oxford Branch. The bank employee told me that will take 48h for my money to reach my GBP account in Romania. On 6th of March I called the branch because the money did not reached the Romanian GBP account and I was told that happened because of an error (caused by the bank) and my money were on hold. The branch assured me that the money will be in Romania by Friday 8th of March, but that did not happened. On Friday 8th I was told that the next Monday 11th or Tuesday 12th that amount will be in my Romanian account, but without any luck. More than that, without consulting me, on 11th of March 2019, TSB put back in my account that amount but with £34.43 less!! I do not recommend.
2019.03.11 23:10
My wife lost her card from our joined account and we called the bank to block it when she found it out then went to this office for ordering a new one. She received a new one but it was issued for me! Ok, we went there second time and ask to issue a **contactless** card for **my wife** again. Just received the card today and it was indeed issued for my wife but this time it wasn't contactless, even though we explicitly asked for a contactless one. And, moreover, her card wasn't blocked when we called the bank but, of cause, it's not this branch's fault.

If there is no decent PC repair shop in your area, send you storage device to data recovery lab from the nearest post office. You can pay for recovery services or software registration at any bank.

Data recovery in the laboratory will cost from £149 and last up to 2 weeks.
Stop using the device where you used to keep the deleted data.
Work of the operating system, installation of programs, and even the ordinary act of connecting a disk, USB drive or smartphone to the computer will create new files that might overwrite the deleted data - and thus make the recovery process impossible. The best solution would be to shut down the computer of power off your phone and outline an action plan. If turning off the device is impossible, try to use it as little as possible.
Make up a list of devices where the necessary files have been saved.
Try to remember the chain of events from creating the files to deleting them. You may have received them by email, downloaded from the Internet, or you may have created them on another PC and then brought them home on a USB drive. If the files in question are personal photos or videos, they can still be available on the memory card of your camera or smartphone. If you received the information from someone else - ask them for help. The sooner you do it the more chances you have to recover what is lost.
Use the list of devices to check them for the missing files, their backup copies or, at least, the chance to recover the deleted data from such devices.
