Reviews about «ALLTRONICS LTD»
The service was professional fixed my digital display device for my indoor rower I was very happy the staff are professional and accommodating to your electronic needs and the price is very fair no job to small no job to big .

Im a gamer girl and i love my playstation 4 but the HDMI was hit n miss since xmas but Sony wanted the price of a PS4 to fix it, i was recommended Alltronics from a guy on buy and sell, i called was told it was same day fixing, and thats the exact service i got, took it it friday morning and picked it up friday afternoon, great service, and affordable and i highly recommend Alltronics.

I was recommended to the retailers out of guarantee repairs agent only to be told my blue ray player could not be repaired as the components where no longer available from the manufacture.
I then took the device to ALLTRONICS ltd and was told it was a common fault with this make of player. It was repaired ready collection 5 days later.
Moral to my story: don’t take out of guarantee equipment buck to the retailer for repair they only want to sell new equipment. Take it to the people at ALLTRONICS ltd who still know how to use a soldering iron and repair things.

Reviews about «Revive PCs»
People of Eastwood...you don't realise how lucky you are to have the best computer/phone/gadget repair shop in the world on your doorstep
2019.03.30 15:35
First visit we waited over a month for the item to be fixed , unfortunately it wasn't fixed properly so has to go back in , waited another month (with numerous calls for updates as communication was so bad) , in the end I asked for a refund and went somewhere else ! Would not recommend poor service and workmanship unfortunately.
2019.07.14 07:13
Great service.
2019.04.12 19:15
I bought my Mac in on Monday, hadn't read the review previously posted and was really surprised once I had! Personally I found they were very efficient & friendly, explained everything simply as I don't understand technical jargon in the slightest! My files were restored in a timely manor (even had a couple of courtesy calls just to let me know the progress) and price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend.
2017.03.16 19:15
For anything Mac related, I would advise you actively avoid using Revive PC's. I found the sense of urgency woeful and whilst you could argue the cost was very low, they recovered NO files for my hard drive in the right format, so I guess in that sense, paying for nothing is actually extortionate. Never was there a true explanation aside from words that most of the general public wouldn't understand which I would hope most people could see straight through. I found them unhelpful and whilst apologetic, they didn't come across as particularly capable... especially with Mac related issues.

Reviews about «Currys PC World Featuring Carphone Warehouse»
Much like the halls of old Norse castles, I like to stroll the corridors looking for new secrets. A great selection. A great service. A true asset to the area.
2019.08.26 08:35
Got what we wanted. Just a shame the guy who served us did have any customer care. He said he doesn't deal with computers, which is what we bought, he said I'm just here to get you your computer i dont deal with laptops or computers. Gave us the receipt and said wait over there and someone will come down with your computer and walked off.
2019.09.07 10:29
Got ignored by staff that were standing around chatting to each other. Went over to tills for help, customer service has got to be the worst I've ever experienced. No eye contact, no general politeness (please/thank you). Managed to get what I wanted with no help from staff. Won't be returning or recommending.
2019.08.30 13:12
Surprisingly helpful. Expected a rubbish service, but got a great service... well done.
2019.08.19 12:32
Great staff member Billy Holiday, very helpful and knows exactly what I need for business equipment

Reviews about «Team Knowhow»
Had new fridge freezer and washing machine delivered and paid for collection of both old my old ones. They took my old washing machine away but left my old fridge freezer outside to be collected the following day. They did leave it outside right in the middle of my neighbor's parking space. To say he was not happy is a understatement as he could not park his car. I have tried to contact Team Knowhow without success and my fridge freezer is still outside it has not been collected as promised. I have left messages for someone to call me guess what no phone call. They also broke a sentimental figurine given to me by my friend when my mum died. I was told just phone customer service and put in a claim. Phoned customer service told the call would cost £6. Guess what after hanging on for ages your just put on hold. So I am now left with a fridge freezer out the front and a broken figurine which I am so upset about. Will anyone contact me your guess is as good as mine. Not a happy customer.

Reviews about «Bournes Green Post Office»
Love the staff here. Always helpful and happy to aid and answer any questions I have. Always go here even though The Broadway Post Office is closer. Staff here are so much better and willing to help
2020.01.05 17:43
Exceptionally helpful family run business, always have a smile and offer outstanding service, started to use them when the larger PO within Waitrose was being remodelled and have stayed as a loyal customer. The service is far quicker, friendlier and extremely customer focused and I would highly recommend them to others.

Reviews about «Shoeburyness Post Office»
Helpful and friendly staff on the post office section, with good advice, especially over sending parcels. Good selection of papers,snacks,groceries & drink in the front section of the shop. In short, post your letters & parcels with confidence, then treat yourself to something to eat & drink!

2019.03.26 07:27
Wonderful, friendly service and excellent advice given regarding my parcel which I was sending to Germany. They really went out of their way to help me. Thoroughly recommend this business😀
2017.11.16 12:59
Good friendly service from this post office however most of the time there is a que and it’s pretty slow. Lots of people get confused about where to stand for either shop services or post office counter services...
2017.12.15 08:50
A great convenience store and post office offering a large selection of products including spirits beer and wine with friendly staff and great service, highly recommended ..
Thank you
Michael ( the watch man )
2016.12.30 19:43
One staff charges more than everything else on postage and they dont tell courier companys that there are parcels are ready to be collected.

Reviews about «Woodgrange Drive Post Office»
Be wary of using their post office. Went in there to send something special delivery, told them the value of the item (£800+) I was sending and they advised special delivery before 1pm next day. I was happy with that and I took my certificate of posting and left.
9 days later I track it and the item is listed as still with the Woodgrange Post Office. I call them up and they say, that's an error with Royal Mail, they've sent it and it's not their problem, I'd have to chase Royal Mail.
I chase Royal Mail and they say there is a £500 max compensation level for the item I sent.
I went back in to complain and the member of staff said to me, that once it is sent special delivery, it is the responsibility of Royal Mail. He said it is not their problem and not their responsibility. I said to him, "So to confirm, despite me advising the item value, you pass everything over to Royal Mail and you're washing your hands of the situation?" He confirmed "Yes".
I will avoid using the entire shop in future but I would certainly recommend everyone avoiding their post office. I believe it is a terrible service and that they couldn't give a damn about the customer.
2019.09.07 12:18
I like to help my local shops to save them from closing and unfortunately I will not be using this one again. The customer service skills were non-existent, very rude felt like I was an inconvenience to them. Don't actually deserve one star but I can't give none won't be back ever!!
2019.06.23 06:10
Couldn't be more helpful :) don't go any other post office.
2019.08.21 19:17
One word "Rude"

Reviews about «Westcliff-on-Sea Post Office with ATM»
I used this post office before and never had any issues with it, a good a reliable service. But today there was only one staff member behind the till the queue was very long and needed more staff to get through queues efficiently. Not to mention I had to queue up twice!
2019.08.31 12:33
Always excellent service at the post office in Hamlet Court Road.
2019.12.05 08:15
Great service, will use this now instead of the one up at the high street. This one is friendly, bright and airy. The one upstairs at Southend High Street is claustrophobic and has no windows, just has an institutional air to it.
2018.04.20 13:57
Went in to drop off a pre-paid parcel and they told me flat out that I had paid the wrong price. This could be forgiven but only an hour earlier was I told by the woman in there to pay online as it made it that much cheaper. Seemed reluctant to take the parcel and made me feel rather embarrassed in front of other customers. Won't be using this location again.
2017.08.01 14:33
No customer service whatsoever. Beware if you prepay for Royal Mail postage online as your parcel may be refused without a reason. I now choose alternative couriers where possible just to avoid this branch of the Post Office.
2018.03.23 15:26
Reviews about «Leigh Road Post Office»
It's convenient enough, but if you don't get the chap who runs it, the service can be awful, and there's zero sense of urgency to reduce a growing queue.
2018.12.08 12:34
Looked online at opening times and it said 5 30pm but when I went there it as closed, at 2 15pm. They must do what they want at this shop, the other post office was still open.
2018.12.31 15:22
Opening times keep changing and the staff are rude
2018.12.15 14:35
I've always found the staff very helpful and the queues are a lot shorter than the main Post Office
2017.03.11 17:18
Great team. OK it's busy, but Southend PO caters for such a large area the queues are horrendous.

Reviews about «Post Office»
Not enough staff...just one person on the counters with another one running around not serving. No envelopes for travel money.
2019.10.12 13:26
Since paying off their regular staff about a month ago to bring in lower paid non trained staff....it had been a nightmare !!
Often the self service machines have been closed and only two staff at counters with queues going back to the door....
One day I waited 45 minutes to get served...........Staff now shabby and NO customer service...probably due to the fact they do not know what they are doing!!!....Disgusting!
2019.03.19 07:33
don't use their manual service much, the self service machines are good and efficient, open long hours on weekends is a plus, no complaints from me.
2019.08.23 21:00
Queues of about a mile - and just one counter open. Utter disrespect and disregard of their clients. Exchange rates marginally better than others though. Still, not worth the wait
2019.02.05 14:04
Posting your eBay parcels or just got a quick Return parcel? The self service machines are simple and quick to use and you can also buy your stamps from them. Friendly, happy Staff makes using the this Post Office a pleasant experience!

Reviews about «Belfairs Post Office»
Handy to have a local Post Office but the staff are quite rude and without any urgency. You'll be lucky to get a "goodbye" let alone a smile.
2019.07.31 10:45
I was dreading going into town to get more Euro's then I thought what about the local post office. ..drove up parked..was greeted by the guy behind the counter , I said I was going to ask a stupid question. ..he assured me it wasn't ...5 minutes later back in the car ready for the airport. ..Result
2018.06.07 09:05
Always happy to help, great selection of gifts and cards too!
2018.06.07 08:31

Reviews about «Leigh on Sea Main Post Office»
I use this post office frequently and have never had anything other than efficient service from friendly staff. Since this 'new' post office has opened, the queues have been much shorter and the service speedier. Thank you all!
2020.01.07 08:23
I came into the post office to return an item to a clothing company yesterday, with instructions that the post office had to scan the QR code and a return label would be printed and attached to my package. Instead the woman behind the counter refused and said they didn't off this service, even though this post office has done this for another parcel of mine. I took my parcel into another post office today, no questions asked! My code scanned, the returns label printed and attached to my parcel. really bad customer service by the leigh post office! The woman flatly refused to even read the details on the return. A complete waste of my time, especially due to how busy it was in there!
2019.11.14 12:55
Closed at 18:05, so clearly not open until 18:30.
2019.05.22 17:07
This post office is advertised as open until 7pm but arrived at 5.30pm to be told the counter was closed for stock taking. I only wanted to send a pre paid parcel back. The post office has gone downhill I actually avoid companies that use Royal Mail and post office services due to how inaccessible most post offices are now. Even checked the opening times on their website before making a trip and no mention early closing. Really poor service
2018.10.10 16:42
Very handy and the staff are really quick!

Reviews about «Thorpe Bay Post Office»
The staff in this post office are rude and are liars. I recently attempted to return an eBay item for which the eBay website produced an underweight label. As it's an automated process, I had no control over the declared postage weight, so they refused to take the parcel, which I accept, but it was the way she rolled her eyes and then started to blame me for doing it wrong, she then turned to her colleague sitting next to her for back up who then happily joined in an told me quite bluntly that she does it all the time and that i have done it wrong by not selecting the weight. In front of a large queue of people, I was basically told to go away and process the parcel correctly. I contacted eBay who admitted there is an error in their returns process resulting in underweight labels, so the counter staff were lying to me and very rude about it.
2020.01.09 12:18
See I don't know if it's an age thing or what, cause I'm 21. But 90% of the time I go in this Post Office they never post my stuff cause they have a miserable can I be bothered attitude. I went in there Once where the staff were actually happy probably cause it was empty and there was no que and I was only picking up a sheet of paper. Why are these unhelpful staff still working here it's actually laughable.
2019.11.25 13:40
Rude staff who were seemingly unwilling to help. Tried to post something to my relatives abroad and had looked up a price on the Royal Mail website already. However, the price the staff quoted was completely different and they were unwilling to admit the online price at all. Ultimately decided to go to another post office instead
2020.01.05 17:42
Never a smile, always a sigh. Often chatting while you are waiting. Never a helpful explanation. When asking about the contents of your package it isn't enough to refer you to the prohibited items list a full contents breakdown in required. Mostly I prefer to use Myhermes or the post office at Waitrose. I have tried my most disarmingly polite demeanor with no effect. They obviously have protected jobs. It is sad because obviously I am not the only person who braces themselves before entering. Thorpe Bay is a lovely little village atmosphere. Visiting the post office could be the nicest part of the day.
2018.05.29 11:53
Absolute disgraceful staff and very rude.
Wanted to drop a parcel in but had my little dog with me and even though it says no dogs allowed I thought just picking him up as no-one was even queuing I knew I wouldn't be long.
No..this thing that works behind her counter pointed her finger at me and said NO dogs allowed and it does say on the door. I explained that she had no customers and I just wanted to drop this parcel in..30 seconds I would have been thats all..
A kind lady who was in the post office helped me though and dealt with my parcel with this Jobsworth bint..
It's no wonder the Post Office is dying off with these sort of idiots working for them..

Staff very polite and helpful. There are queues but counter staff are well organised and minimise them wherever possible. Financial advisors definitely seemed to know their stuff when I used their services last year.

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 are some common power supply or battery-related issues that a PC repair service in Southend can assist with?
A PC repair service in Southend can assist with various power supply or battery-related issues, including:
- Power supply failure: If the power supply unit (PSU) of a computer fails, it can cause the PC to not turn on or experience intermittent power issues. A repair service can diagnose and replace a faulty power supply.
- Battery replacement: For laptops or portable devices, a repair service can replace a worn-out or faulty battery that no longer holds a charge or causes the device to shut down unexpectedly.
- Power surges or voltage fluctuations: Power surges or voltage fluctuations can damage the power supply or other components of a computer. A repair service can diagnose and repair any issues caused by such electrical problems.
- Overheating issues: Overheating can cause the power supply or battery to malfunction. A repair service can clean the internal components, replace faulty fans or heat sinks, and ensure proper cooling to prevent overheating.
- Charging problems: If a laptop or portable device is not charging properly or the charging port is damaged, a repair service can fix or replace the charging port, power adapter, or charging circuitry.
- Battery calibration: Sometimes, the battery of a laptop or portable device may not accurately display the remaining charge or may drain quickly. A repair service can calibrate the battery to ensure accurate readings and better performance.
- Power management issues: Issues related to power management settings, such as sleep mode problems, power-saving options, or power button functionality, can be resolved by a repair service.
- Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) setup: A repair service can help set up and configure an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the computer from power outages or provide backup power in case of electrical failures.
