Reviews about «Tech Master IT Services»
Got my Macbook Pro display replaced! Great service and best price given out of a few shops I asked. The only issue is the screen turned out to be a lot brighter than the normal macbook pro screen display. I've really sensitive eyes so would always prefer to go with dimmer light on screen and now even the dimmest setting looks really bright! But I wouldn't blame the shop on that since it should be the manufacture factory's default setting on the hardware itself. Anything beside that is great! Highly recommended!
New Update: Turned out my previous screen wasn't perfect as there's some issue with the camera as well! I returned it to the shop and they offered me to replace the screen! Took them another few working days to get a replacement and now I've got my perfectly working screen! Really great service from the staffs and definitely recommend anyone who's looking for great service with cheap price!

I would highly recommend this company. They fixed my phone screen within a few hours. After using it over the weekend, I noticed a slight glitch (which they couldn't have know about) and they fixed it for the the same day. Will definitely go back!

Having used their services before I returned to Tech Master as I trust their work, and professionalism, and like their friendliness I was not disappointed. After an open and honest discussion, I took his advice, and couldn't be happier. 2011 iMAC hard drive update and increased memory has proved to be money well spent. Great advice, great service, reasonably priced. Thank you. Happy to recommend to family and friends. Pete

Great professional service from Tech Master, wanted my iMac repaired in a day due to excessive traveling, they couldn't be more accommodating. My iMac is now back firing on all cylinders after the repair. I Highly recommend Tech Master for any Apple related problems.
2019.06.06 18:09
These guys have helped me out with my laptop twice - once setting it up when it was new and once replacing the keyboard after I'd spilt coffee on it. Professional, friendly, efficient. I'd recommend them without qualification.

Reviews about «Currys PC World Featuring Carphone Warehouse»
Bought a laptop from there a few months ago which has developed a serious performance issue. I spoke to one of the staff a few days ago who asked me to bring it in and they would run a diagnostic to find out what the problem is as it's still under warranty. I made the 30 mile round trip today to do this and the young lady in there was fantastic but her pig of a manager would only let her run the diagnostic if I paid £49.
Obviously the warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on and this idiot shouldn't be put in charge of a chimps tea party. He knows nothing about customer care and has a "Gimme, gimme, gimme" attitude.
Disgraceful.
2019.08.04 13:14
Not the best buying experience... I needed a new laptop fast. The staff had extremely limited technical knowledge, so we're little help selecting the best model for me. Then when we had chosen the whole process of taking my money took over 15 minutes, as the poor chap had to fill in the most ridiculous amount of information, then have to do the same thing all over again 'on their other system'! Completely archaic and irrelevant these days. The only reason for 2 stars is that at least the laptop was good value
2019.04.01 13:07
Can't go in there and look without being harassed multiple times 😠😡🤬 which is very off-putting

Lunacare Cymru often uses Curry's PC World as its go to source for camera equipment and the useful advice on the latest technologies available the store has great staff all around and well manned, inside the store itself is a friendly layout easily view-able.
There are also very helpful business tailored staff on hand that have personally provided invaluable information and advice.

I love this shop. It has everything. Especially when you just need to pop to the corner shop. Has been a lifesaver on Christmas Eve but to top it all now it incorporates a post office that is open out of normal hours which has been brilliant for me who can not get to a list office usually. The staff are so friendly too. Support your local shop

Excellent mailbox company at a good price! Been with CSBS for a year now and can`t fault the service. They always reply to emails and phone calls, 5 Star service. Thanks from funkyfragrances.co.uk
2015.11.03 12:57
I find the services offered by CSBS to be first class - there is always someone to talk to should you need it and the staff are competent and helpful and friendly to boot. They offer a complete package of solutions, which has worked very well for me. Furthermore, their pricing is extremely competitive. I would highly recommend CSBS.

Reviews about «Royal Mail Group»
There's usually a small queue, but they take very little time in finding my parcel and the other people in the queue before me. Plenty of parking spaces, much easier than years ago, when you had to go into town, and find a parking space and then walk to and from with a heavy package. Staff are polite and friendly.
2019.12.20 17:22
It's the post office what more can I say.
But remember to take ID when picking up a parcel
2019.10.10 07:32
Just a post office collection point nothing special to say, other than, some staff are rude and unhelpful.
2019.12.16 21:31
Sometimes they leave parcels in my shed, sometimes they don't. The last experience I had, I arranged for the parcel to be redelivered to my local post office 3 times but it never arrived. I visited the depot 3 times afterwards and they couldn't find my parcel.
But the 2nd time, they handed me a parcel saying it was mine but it was the wrong name and address so more than likely they gave someone else my parcel.
2019.12.16 19:25
Came here once to pick up a parcel. It’s nice to have a 7 day week opening with various hours. Some collection offices usually have 4 days a week with only a few hours a day opening. The staff were pleasant enough for a Sunday afternoon. Nice easy accessible location with parking out front. An accessible access with automatic door. Not too bad at all.

Reviews about «Heol Llanishen Fach Post Office»
I hesitated to go to this Post Office branch for my holiday money after the awful reviews but it is my closest and I wanted to check it out for myself.
I was very pleasantly surprised - the two lady staff smiled and said hello as I approached the counter and the lady who served me was very helpful and friendly. I told her about the reviews and she was very taken aback. Time to redress the balance!
The phone number listed on the web-site is incorrect by the way!!
Oh - and this is Liz, not Sam!!
2016.07.22 14:24
Unhelpful as others have said. Main counter was closed so went to the spar store tills where they have a small post office counter set up, however the staff (though pleasant) tell me noone there at the time was trained to use it. This counter has been there possibly a year now and still noone can even use it. Might as well just say the post office is closed on sunday, instead of advertising online and in store that it's always open.
2016.05.29 14:03
Always helpful at the main Post Office counter. I use this branch regularly.
2016.12.07 08:40
The staff here are rude, unfriendly and unhelpful. I won't be coming back here again. Every experience has been a nightmare to be honest.
2015.04.27 15:05
The problem reconfirmed by the other reviewers dates all the way back to 1993! I suppose that hot tempered bully Hilary Rowley can't still be in charge after this long? She told off an old person for tripping on the step and hurting themself. She came to a customer's house and made a scene when she received a complaint about a worker shouting "I don't see what you're going to do about it" over parcel post.

Reviews about «Post Office»
A rude and abrupt middle age (55-60) woman does most of the shifts, I always come out feeling uncomfortable after she serves me. There's another lady (early 30s) who is lovely but I've only seen her twice. And sometimes there's a guy serving who is also very kind and helpful. The post office itself is quite small but has the essentials you'd expect, and is convenient if you live close by. Next door is a hairdressers one side and card shop the other, either side of those is a new fish and chip shop, and a darlows agents. Opposite them you have a small barbers, Jeffery Ross properties, Natwest bank and a medium size Co-Op, as well as a pharmacy, take a few steps further and you'll see a flower shop, tea room, small bakery, opticians, charity shop, Barclays bank, another hair dressers, Peter Alan, principality building society, and a Mc coll's off licence.

Royal mail won't leave parcels with a neighbour and then you have the pathetic opening hours. If you work you can forget being able to collect your parcel until the Saturday.

one star is a very generous rating. Their survice for a lost missing parcel is a complete discrace.

Why do g/y/Garth sorting office hold on to mail I have just received mail posted locally dated 27. Dec delivered today 4 th jan is is happening all the time ,I have called onto the depot but am fobed off with excuses
2018.01.04 10:52
Terrible opening hours. What's the point. Useless.
2018.05.02 10:35
Ridiculous opening hours. Why close at 12.30 everyday when the majority of post that ends up there, does so because the recipient is in work until 5 o'clock.
It then takes 2 DAYS to get this package sent to McColls in Radyr, which probably a hour walk away.
Close this terrible excuse of a delivery office down and let us use Cowbridge Road East which has customer friendly hours or change the opening hours so it actually of use to anybody who has a job.

Reviews about «Asda Caerphilly Superstore»
Just got home from Asda Caerphilly.....really disgusted that we couldn't go through self-service area. We had a trolley with only a few items in it.....we had a trolley because my husband can't carry a basket due to constant pain. We were turned away from the area even though the person turning us away knew of my husband's condition. The 'baskets only' sign only appeared recently.....we and many others have gone through that area with trolleys...festive spirit ? I don't think so!!! Bah Humbug to Asda Caerphilly!!!
2019.12.23 12:15
Excellent news Caerphilly asda has done away with plastic bags for your fruit and veg perhaps now they will do away with their friends pre packed apples and other fruit so if I want 3 apples in can buy 3 instead of buying 6

2017.08.07 15:50
staff inside are great, but a long wait sometimes if one member serving or problems arise, they need a simple enquiry desk. Annoyed about the saturday closure, the community here are pensioners , again we are being pushed into the online access where you cant simply speak to a person in seconds withut going through endless questions and options. The time where banks literally disappear will be a problem indeed.
Last year my card was locked for security reasons , I had to go to my local branch to show ID etc, grateful that my branch is down the road and not in the city centre, here we have the failure of the online services they can only do so much as it all over the phone or online, still had to visit the bank in the end.

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.

What steps does a PC repair service in Caerphilly take to recover data from a computer that has been affected by a power surge or lightning strike?
When a PC repair service in Caerphilly is tasked with recovering data from a computer affected by a power surge or lightning strike, they typically follow these steps:
- Assessment: The technician will first assess the extent of damage caused by the power surge or lightning strike. They will inspect the computer's hardware components, including the power supply, motherboard, hard drive, and other peripherals.
- Repair or replacement of damaged components: If any hardware components are found to be damaged, the technician will repair or replace them. This may involve replacing the power supply, motherboard, or any other faulty parts.
- Data recovery attempts: Once the computer is repaired, the technician will attempt to recover the data from the affected hard drive. They may use specialized software tools to extract data from the damaged drive.
- Transfer to a new drive: If the damaged hard drive cannot be recovered, the technician will transfer the data to a new drive. They will install a new hard drive or SSD (Solid State Drive) and copy the recovered data onto it.
- Data backup and restoration: After the data has been successfully recovered and transferred to a new drive, the technician will ensure that the data is backed up to prevent future data loss. They may also restore the recovered data to the computer's original state or assist the user in restoring it to their preferred configuration.
- Testing and quality assurance: The repaired computer will undergo thorough testing to ensure that all hardware components are functioning properly and that the data is accessible. The technician will check for any software issues or data corruption that may have occurred due to the power surge or lightning strike.
- Recommendations and preventive measures: The PC repair service may provide recommendations to the user on surge protection devices or uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems to prevent future damage from power surges or lightning strikes. They may also suggest regular data backups to minimize the risk of data loss.
It's important to note that the success of data recovery depends on the severity of the damage caused by the power surge or lightning strike. In some cases, data recovery may not be possible if the damage is too extensive.
