Reviews about «Wizard Computers»
Can't fault the service and expertise from these guys. Everything from computers, laptops, printers and accessories, there help and advice has been invaluable over the past 20 years. Just got a refurbished HP laptop from them for my husband, at a very reasonable price, and he is really pleased with it. Would highly recommend them.

I popped in to wizard computers this afternoon as my iPad had locked up & I could not shut it down to re-set. They sorted it for me in no time at all. Fantastic service thank you very much ! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I contacted Wizard Computers when my iMac, which I need for work, was running painfully slow. Their Apple specialist, Rob, was able to diagnose the problem remotely for me. He then replaced my failing hard drive and the 4-year old Mac is like a new machine. Would highly recommend.

Reviews about «Jubilee Computer Services»
Excellent service. Quick (free) diagnosis and great communication. Kept me up to date all the time and did a very reasonably priced fix. Saved me a lot of trouble. Great little local business well worth supporting.
2019.01.30 11:10
Really good service, fixed my laptop and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend. Much better than PC world.
2019.01.29 20:08
So where do you go on a Saturday for computer parts.....tried all the others which had good ratings by Google. All closed or not even there. Even tried shock horror PC W......
Alas no luck. Last try a computer ship that was shutting in 15 minutes and I'm on the wrong side of Chorley.
Anyway I get there with 5 minutes to spare and I find a computer shop that actually looks open and it looks like it might have the psu I need.
The guy behind the counter informed me the shop had been there 20 years. After the good service and some double checking by the man I walked out a happy customer knowing that I was well on my way to my 10 year old machine firing up again.
A pleasant experience and somewhere I will definitely be returning to for my next pc.
2018.10.06 15:53

Absolute waste of time, took a PC in to sell and was rudely told I needed the keyboard and mouse even though the exact product on cex website showed no keyboard and mouse and also didn't state anywhere that it comes with a keyboard and mouse or that a keyboard and mouse is needed to sell the PC!
Definitely won't be going there again!
2019.08.04 10:07
I traveled from Wigan,too check out the town of Chorley, CEX ,the lovely Australian gentleman gave 100% customer service and made me feel very valued as customer! Would definitely recommend a visit if you're a gamer.

Reviews about «Advance Technologies»
Took my Xbox One in to be fixed a couple of weeks ago as had no power. Yasin was really friendly and helpful. He kept me in the loop, keeping in touch with me when it went to diagnostics, right through to getting it back. Console is working perfectly now. Very good service and would definitely use again!
2017.10.21 09:59
Very friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and this guy knows his stuff, got my computer running smooth as silk. He will definitely be the first person I call if I need any IT help in the future.
2013.10.26 16:37
I have used Advance Technologies once as I was recommended to use them to repair my ipad air as the screen had been smashed, they said it would take a few days and cost 75 pounds, Went back picked it up and though nothing of it started using it and realized that it had come back in a worse condition then when I sent it to them, the metal casing of the ipad was bent the secondary screen had what looked to be laser burns on it, also the touch screen was not working took it back and they gave it to there engineers and they said there was nothing wrong, so I took it to another company were they had to replace the screen the metal casing and a few other things. I then went back to Advance Technologies with an engineers report and they would have none of it, they were then very rude and defensive when I asked for my money back. I would not recommend this company to any one there are other company's close by how are a lot better and cheaper
2017.09.10 16:18
Took my computer because it wouldn't turn on, great guy very helpful. Was recommended by someone and I'm glad we were. When I got my computer back I was curious why I could see nothing on the screen so I rang up and he explained what to do. (I put the cable in the wrong part). Would definitely reccommend.
2014.02.25 10:10
Very happy with service, laptop repaired and returned within 24 hours, would highly recommend. Good customer service and experience. Thank you Yasin.

Reviews about «Coppull Post Office»
They do a good job but never stick to their opening times. Close early on weekends and sometimes just leave a note on the door saying they’ll be back in 5 but 30 min later they’re still not back.
2019.11.23 13:19
This post office has nasty habit of locking up during so called open hours and sticking a sign in the door "back in 10 mins". No time on it when they locked up. Have tried waiting 10 mins to no avail. Three times this has happend to me in last few weeks. Very unprofessional and sure way to ensure customers go elsewhere
2019.08.14 13:31
Apparent wrong closing times online? Says 5:30 online yet I walked in at 5:15 and the guy behind the till told me it was closed? But the door was still open? The guy said the closing time are wrong online and need updating but seemed like he just couldn’t be arsed.

Called up in regards to a missed delivery note that had just been shoved through my door without attempting to knock or ring my door bell which I’d like to add is in fully working order.
Whoever the jobs worth was on the phone was extremely rude, wasn’t helpful in the slightest and quite frankly needs the sack .... I’d feel sorry for myself if I was him.
2019.12.31 12:11
Grateful to have held a job for 30 years

Thank you so much to the postman who found a pound coin in our drive last Thursday 10 th of May and called to see if it was ours sorry we forgot to ask his name .Wonderful to see honesty is still around .Thank you once again Chelmsford Place resident .

Generally pretty good. Helpful and approachable staff. Parking can be tight at busy times.
2017.09.09 08:15
Postman couldn't even be bothered to write the reference number on my card so I could not organise re-delivery. Now I have to attend the sorting office. Not good service at all. 👎🏻

Refreshing to go into a post office and be greeted with fresh faces. Even when busy the staff are friendly and helpful.

Inept staff slow and wrong attitudes...….won't be going in again.
2019.07.08 11:58
All I wanted was to get a stamp for a card to the Netherlands and I was asked so many questions about other things. The man was obviously trying to get more business for the Post Office. The queue was growing, because there was only one person on the counter. I will never visit there again.
2017.12.01 08:20
Brilliant service. Convenient business hours.
2018.11.10 13:14
Drove for 1 hour to be told that the person that does the biometric registration is not there!!!!
They said it says on the website to call first BUT IT DOES NOT!!!! It actially advises you to go on a Tuesday as its less busy. The manager must be a complete moron if he lacks basic common sense to either warn people on the site to call first or at least have more staff that can do the biometric test! Please get better managment at least one with half a brain.

Reviews about «FedEx Station»
A depot that has let the side down,lie after lie and almost a week later the parcel is still in the depot and no one appears to want to take it to the customer or call me the sender or the customer to say sorry your over an hour from the warehouse and we can't be bothered. Another customer lost.
2019.11.19 10:00
Had text from fed ex CHORLEY i understand saying my package would be delivered on weds 24th cancelled my appointments as package is stock for my show marquee no package waited all Thurs no package ? contacted on web and was told driver package tried on two occasions to deliver but no body in? LIES i have been in my front garden in this heat for two days the only way into my property? i have now lost a full days trading thx to FED EX will never use them again and will speak to my supplier who has rushed this order through for me the situation
2019.07.25 17:02
I send over 100 parcels a week with these guys (not for much longer) and they can’t even be arsed to answer the phone EVER terrible service would NOT recommend !
2019.12.10 16:52
It’s been 8 days, and I’ve waited in every day for this parcel..
Fed Ex are terrible, every day I have been promised that I will receive it tomorrow, it still doesn’t leave the depot..
You could replace customer service with a recording which promises that “you’ll get your delivery tomorrow”
Apparently I’ll definitely be getting it soon
What a crock..
2019.03.21 13:59
I waited in for three days for a package for a package that never came !!! Driver said on all three days that he had tried to deliver package but that customer was not home!!! I was home and driver left no card!! Then on day 3 driver claimed package which needed a signature had been delivered.... No package was delivered, no signature was given and no one answering the phone at customer service so I can find out what has happened to my package ! I can see from other reviews that many other customers have had the same experience as me...... Really bad service!!! I will never use fedex again!!!

Reviews about «Nationwide Building Society»
If your wanting to open a savings account at this branch I wouldn't bother trying! I called and they said they don't book appointments so I would just have to turn up and I will be seen even if I have to wait a little while. I got my 10 week old son ready on this Saturday morning took him in and they took his details and asked for us to wait which we did. A lady then came over to us and told us she wouldn't be able to set up the account as they are to busy! I'm sorry but we are no different to any other customer who walks in and wants to be seen so why di they put other people behind us a priority! Such bad service and now I am reluctant to open a savings account for my son due to this bad service!

If you want to be let down every time you need to use mobile banking and anything associated, then this is definitely the bank for you, more maintenance than a footballers wife.

friendly staff and convenient location especially with the new car park across the road. Just wish they had more staff as there is always a queue. I do my business banking with Barclays and there are some essential things that you just can't do online or via app etc
2018.12.10 02:14
I've only really used the cashpoint machine since they stopped opening on Saturday mornings a few years back. The machine itself is quite effi cuenta but far too loud, and the buttons are (presumably) conveniently misaligned with the screen for the use of wheelchair users but mildly confusing for everyone else. Ho hum.
2017.07.17 20:44
The opening hours are completely useless/unreasonable to the majority of people, considering most work 9-5. It needs to be open till atleast 19:30 on weekdays and open on Saturdays, because even if they open on Saturdays people would have to wait all week to see an advisor unless they stay open till a reasonable time on weekdays. There are many things we cant do through telephone/online banking so adjusting opening times is vital!
2017.02.16 17:24
Needs to be open on Saturdays so much for personal banking, I can't get to see anyone personally because I work the same hours you do. Monday to Friday

Staff at the front doing nothing whilst one person serves at the cash till, massive queues !!! , poor effort all round.
Any other Bank or Building Society are much more customer focused.

Staff are rude and not trained well at all
Use discriminatory practice , talk about issues wirh other people listening

I'm changing banks enough said, they notify me by text of suspicious money taken from my account then can't sort it out!!! useless!! stop drinking coffee & tossing it off while people are waiting for ages to be seen too....
2019.09.27 15:39
Only one person on the paying in desk with a large queue waiting but three assistants at the front of the bank stood around?
To make matters worse one of them directed me to a paying in screen (against my better judgement) which apparently couldn't deal with my needs (paying in cash at a bank???)
So I am then sent to join the queue I was originally going to join but by now it's increased by three more people!!
When I finally get to the desk I am told that I can't pay my money in because I don't have my paying in book with me although I have my sort code and account number and it's my local branch? Instead of leaving I challenged the cashier and she then changed her mind and said that she could pay it in with their own slip??
Please stop keeping customers waiting when you have staff available. I understand that you want to signpost people to the automatic tellers but don't do it at the expense of people's time. You may educate some but you are alienating too many others.
2019.03.07 14:48

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.
