My grandmother had some work carried out on her slowing laptop at Alfreton Computers and got ripped off by someone there named Mark. What she was charged was an absolute disgrace and suspect they ripped her off by taking advantage of her age and lack of knowledge regarding computers. She was immorally charged an extortionate fee, somewhat close to the cost of a brand new laptop! From calling them twice I sensed I was getting nowhere and to cut our losses. From now on, I will take care of my grandmother's laptop.
We do not wish to speak to you again. This shouldn't have happened in the first place!

Reviews about «Enterprise PC Care»
I Recently purchased a new screen for my i-phone and several weeks later the phone developed a fault and the screen only came on intermittently, I called in the shop to ask if they could have a look at it and I was asked to leave it with them for a few hours. When I called to collect it I was told it was all working again and that the fault couldn't be identified exactly and so he had replaced the screen for a new one and it all works fine again now. We have had several dealings with this company and they have always been very helpful and pleasant, nothing seems too much trouble for them and they replaced my screen without any quibble at all. I would definitely recommend these guys and will be dealing with them again in the future. Thanks guys for a brilliant customer service.
2016.09.26 16:10
Really great service! I took my computer I with a broken screen and not even a full 24 hours later it was fixed and at a very reasonable price. I asked the employer who I dealt with if he could get it done as quickly as possible for me and I definitely can't complain at that!! I will definitely be using them again!
2016.01.14 20:10
My PC was running very, very slow and I was unable to get anything done on it. I dropped it into the guys at Enterprise PC Care and was told that they could sort it out and speed it up, so I left it with them. one day later I had a call and it was all ready to go and all this for an amazing price!!!!!
Will be using them again next time I have an issue with my PC
2013.04.15 12:51

Reviews about «South Normanton Post Office»
Great post office with nice, friendly staff who are always willing to help. They really do go the extra mile on customer service. Very good selection of cards, stationery etc as well as all the post, bill paying and banking facilities.
2019.07.09 13:28
I'm new to the area and everyone was so pleasant, friendly and welcoming. Especially the gent who did my mail redirection. Thank you for helping to reduce the stress of moving that little bit
2017.11.28 14:48

Helpful staff, often the queues are too large, but that is not the fault of the staff. Appreciate their goodwill and help over the years. Recommended.
2019.09.10 21:05
Excellent service - I've visited twice in the last few days with huge amounts of items to post (at least 2 Ikea bags full of packages on each visit) and the service has been fast, friendly, efficient, and patient both times. Thank you!
2019.04.25 10:53
Alfreton post office has a Christmas Angel working for them. He made it possible for an elderly clergyman to enjoy his Christmas dinner by going out of his way to deliver this special parcel. A very grateful thank you from the person who sent it. Wishing him a wonderful blessed Christmas.
2018.12.21 18:13
Took some parcels in today and the lady behind the counter was very helpful and was able to keep conversation going while working.
She was very polite and made a normal post office visit seem less dull, i will make sure to come back and hope to be served by the red headed lady again.
I will also mention the gentleman behind the counter who also joined in on the conversation and went out of his way for good customer service.
Thank you to these guys
2018.07.31 17:26
I posted a parcel last week and the girl at the post office put the sticker next to my return address on the back of the parcel that clearly says SENDER so I took it back in and they made ME pay the postage again for there stupid mistake!! I'm fuming as the stupid girl didn't even apologise for what she'd done! Totally wrong and disgusted with what's happened. Need to hire new staff... someone that actually cared about there job and is more friendly and polite... and the worst employee of the week goes to the red head at alfreton post office!!

Reviews about «Swanwick Post Office»
Great post office and staff who work hard and put plenty of hours in to provide a great service to customers.
Hands off Royal Mail, you should be opening more places like this not closing them
2019.10.09 15:57
Doesn’t even deserve one star, I am appalled by the behaviour of the staff at this shop. The owners wife and another woman were extremely nasty to my 8 year old nephew who has autism. Talking about his ticks in a derogatory way and telling him to stop making noises. This unsettled him very much and gave him a lot of anxiety and he was extremely upset after this encounter. His school noticed his anxiety the next day and my sister has informed the staff what the horrible women in this shop said to him and how they behaved. They have told everyone they know not to visit this store again. There is a shop just down the road with much nicer staff, don’t put money into these peoples pockets. They need to learn how to respect and treat other people, especially those who have autism and other conditions. I will also be contacting the select and save group.
2019.04.08 11:42
Extremely rude members of staff. Will never come here again and will take my money elsewhere .
2019.04.08 12:36
Great Service
Very Friendly Staff
Large Selection of goods.
Recently been revamped (2018)
2018.03.20 22:33
I witnessed a street fight between the owner and a local cage fighter. And afterwards I was robbed of my ham and cheese sandwich and then I figured out it was the owner. The shop smells of black tar heroin fresh from Mexico so it's safe to say I don't recommend this place

Reviews about «Morton Sub Post Office»
Very rude lady that runs this place. I walked in with a parcel that was very large. I was then shocked at the shouting old hag from the kitchen she screamed at me asking from afar “what weight is your parcel!” Shocked I proceeded to the counter then she told me she won’t take the parcel.
Her daughter extremely rude as well.
I am absolutely baffled to how disgustingly rude these individuals are.
How they can be running a post office I don’t know.
Her lack of knowledge on how the postal system works is below par at best.
I would suggest using a different post office. Let alone eating any of the food cooked here.
Genuinely never been spoken to like this in my life from someone providing a public service. 👎🏻
2019.05.12 20:17
I moved in next door to this lovely quaint little post office, they serve the most incredible food and are so friendly. They go out of their way to help anybody. Would absolutely recommend :) x
2017.12.21 09:56
A shop that hardly ever has what you need and Overpriced is an under statement. Milk and bread prices are ridiculous!!!

Reviews about «Royal Mail»
Been waiting for a parcel for over a month now. Status shows delivered but no parcel has been delivered, not even a card to say unable to deliver or whatever. I've rang n rang for days now, several times a day n guess what no answer... Absolutely appalling if you ask me. If only I could post without a star rating.
2019.12.13 12:44
Rang several times but nobody answered the phone. No wonder companies prefer to use DPD, Hermes etc. for Parcels, or email for correspondence.
2019.11.27 17:18
The post service is bound to have hiccups and ever changing demands and changing of the seasons, the people at this post office are always friendly and always do there best to help...
2019.12.25 08:11
Sat at home waiting for a delivery 3 days later still nothing what a load of incompetent work force the Post office have, how come they haven't gone under. The daily mail is just as bad post arrives late on most dates delivered by a different person on most days. Absolutely c_ _ p
2019.06.29 14:05
Checked my tracking for an item said delivered to Royal Mail no card through door and after constant ringing no answer !!!! Why post a number if u have no intention of answering it 😡

Reviews about «Newton Post Office»
The younger two family members that work there are extremely rude and intimidating and after receiving my last rude insult today (following many snarky comments over the years) I have decided not to shop there anymore. The lack of customer service in the younger two is a discredit to the exceptionally friendly family owner and his eldest son, who are lovely to deal with.
2018.02.26 14:59
Felt intimidated. I was charged small parcel rate for a standard issue padded envelope that was within the measurements for a large letter. When I said I thought it would be a large letter, he got annoyed, said it's clearly a parcel! I was under the impression that a large letter needed to be an item that was within 35cm x 25 cm x 2.5 cm (which mine was) not literally a letter in a paper envelope? I'm not the type of person that likes confrontation so I paid and left feeling horrible.

Reviews about «Natwest»
Always a queue, slow service and a pretty dingy environment. Staff are helpful and experienced, but there needs to be more staff. You need to set aside 15 minutes is you plan a simple visit to Nat West in Alfreton which in my opinion at least in unacceptable. So my tip is ALWAYS allow 15 minutes for a visit, parking nearby is 20 minutes only, so your visit may be very costly.
2019.10.10 18:22
Very friendly and helpful. Disappointed when I arrived at 9.45 Wednesday morning to find they don't open until 10.00am, website has not been updated and says 9.30.

Reviews about «NatWest»
Absolutely useless
All I wanted was a simple transfer between accounts
They refused to do this stating I would incur charges, I assured them that I wouldn't but they still insisted I would and stated that they would not and could not do it in branch even after I told them I'd take a chance on the charges (knowing all along that I would not have any penalties)
The only thing they would offer was a card with a customer service contact.
On returning home I called the number and surprise surprise it could have been done in branch the guy in customer service was excellent (unlike the one in branch) and sorted the transfer out with no fuss
Just as a final note the young man in branch was also very rude and condescending when I advised that I didn't trust the natwest app
If it wasn't for the excellent customer service I received from the call center I would be switching my account
I will not be using this branch again
Final footnote
I didn't rec any penalty charges
2019.09.02 08:51
ive always found the staff here super helpful and smiley particularly the sutton in ashfield branch..its location is just off the main road thru and so is easy to find, very clean, warm and welcoming inside..if there are any queues they go down pretty quick so waiting time is kept minimal and stress free.
2019.10.26 07:41
The woman with black hair and glasses has to be the most saracastic and spiteful worker I’ve ever met at a bank (sorry, mafia corporation). Give her some more training on how to properly conduct yourself when speaking to people.
Always coming out with NPC answers. Can tell she believes in voting and watches TV. Indoctrinated. Try and see another person if you can.
They’re never awkward when illusional money comes their way. They soon put their hands out and grab it. No wonder they’re all corrupt.
Illusional money does something to the mind. Stop making it your God.

Excellent branch with staff that simply cannot do enough for you. External cashpoint and internal ATM's for deposits/withdrawals. Customer service desk inside and they will always help you with queries, transactions, account questions etc. On a pedestrian street, no vehicular access. Nearest car parking areas are the Idlewells multi storey or the Market place, although you can park on the lower end of Forest Street, near Lloyds/Nat West if you have a disabled parking permit
2019.04.13 23:21

If I didn't have to bank there (I make a weekly business deposit), I would not. Though the employees behind the glass are nice enough once you get to them, they never seem to have enough people on. Today there was one person behind the glass, and the woman in front of me wanted help with paying into an ISA. So, the rep came from behind the counter and sat down with the woman for a nice long chat. Meanwhile, the queue got longer and no other employees seemed interested in waiting on us. The man behind me left, then I did. My time is important too.
2018.05.15 11:42
Absolutely awful customer service!!! Staff do not want to help you out and are rude. They sit there gossiping while other people struggle to use the self-service machines. Avoid at all costs!

Cant begin to tell you how rude one particular woman was at the desk... even if i was going to bank there i wouldn't now.... what a miserable woman with no people skills
2017.10.05 09:44
Is normally really good when I go but I can only make it one day a week because of the opening times! So I get early off work race into belper get to the bank at 4:44, there are people still in the bank, for some smug git to mouth we are closed though the glass door. No you are open for another min it I only need to pay some money in!!! Not happy at all! Really messed up my week and all my bills! Thank not

Reviews about «Barclays Bank»
At our visit regarding changing current account we were very disappointed with the service we received. Halfway through the meeting without any explanation the member of staff left us while she went to look out of the window as someone said there was a fight taking place.
She returned to continue the meeting and due to false information we received from another member of staff we were informed we could not transfer our account. She apologized for the information we received but then said she did phone but we obviously didn't grasp what she had told us.
So after 35 wasted minutes we left and went to make an appointment at another bank witch she wrongly informed us was due to close . Thank you Barclays you have lost a customer.

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.
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.
Windows backup and restore
You can create backups in Windows both with the system tools and third-party apps.
-
📝 File History
File History is meant to keep versions of all files in a certain folder or on a specific disk. By default, it backs up such folders as Documents, Pictures etc, but you can also add new directories as well.
-
🔄 System restore points
Restore points are the way to save copies of user folders, system files, registry and settings for a specific date. Such copies are either created manually or automatically when updates are installed or critical Windows settings are modified.
-
📀 Recovery image
A system recovery image allows you to create an image of the system drive (you can also include other drives if necessary). Speaking of such image, we mean a complete copy of the entire drive.
-
📁 Registry backup and restore
In addition to restoring user files, Windows gives you an opportunity to cancel any changes you may have made to the system registry.
-
📀 SFC and DISM
System files and libraries can be recovered with a hidden recovery disk by using the SFC and DISM commands.
-
🛠️ Recovering file system
Often, data can be lost because of a data carrier failure. If that is the case, you don’t have to rush to a PC repair shop; try to restore operability of the storage device on your own. If you see the “Please insert a disk” error, a device is recognized as having a RAW file system, or the computer shows a wrong disk size, use the Diskpart command:
-
👨💻 Restore system boot
If data was lost and now the operating system seems inoperable, and Windows can’t start or gets into a boot loop, watch this tutorial:
-
♻️ Apps for backup
Third-party backup applications can also create copies of user files, system files and settings, as well as removable media such as memory cards, USB flash drives and external hard disks. The most popular products are Paragon Backup Recovery, Veeam Backup, Iperius Backup etc.
Mac OS backup and restore
The backup is implemented with Time Machine function. Time Machine saves all versions of a file in case it is edited or removed, so you can go back to any date in the past and copy the files you need.
Android backup and restore
Backup options for Android phones and tablets is implemented with the Google account. You can use both integrated system tools and third-party apps.
Backup and restore for iPhone, iPad with iOS
You can back up user data and settings on iPhone or iPad with iOS by using built-in tools or third-party apps.
In 2024, any operating system offers multiple solutions to back up and restore data. You may not even know there is a backup in your system until you finish reading this part.
