Reviews about «PC Revamp»
I first came when I smashed my phone 2 days after getting it. It was a great price, and looked as good as new. There is a comfortable sofa for waiting. Over all it was great.
2019.06.20 15:27
They fixed the screen on my phone whilst I waited. It didn't take long, the shop was smart and pleasant and the staff helpful and easy to deal with. I'll be using them again.
2019.09.02 22:10
These guys were amazingly kind and helpful!!! My phone had got wet in my pocket while it was raining and came up with the blue screen of death... I took it into the shop after leaving it off for a couple of days and they dried it out fully and got it working back to normal within about 15 minutes!! And they didn't even charge me! :) I know a lot of places probably would have done so I really appreciated this and just how kind and friendly they were. Thank you so much, I'll definitely be coming back here for any other problems I have! :)
Oh and I also really loved the gerbils :)
2019.08.19 16:44
Amazing service.Amazing prices. The staff were very helpful & knowledgeable, sorting out my 2 phones within minutes. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.
2019.05.06 16:36
Excellent service, polite and professional staff, easy parking. I can't recommend this company enough. Thank you.

Reviews about «Genius Services»
Genius Support was originally recommended to Lancaster Samms at the perfect time, as we were due to relocate our office. As an estate agent we could not be a moment without the use of our I.T and the whole transition ran smoothly with no effect on the business. Since then David and the team have always been quick to respond at any time of day to resolve issues.
2014.01.23 09:42
Fantastic! Finally, an IT Support company that could actually resolve our business issues. We have tried so many companies in the past who sell their products and services, but then almost disappear. Now, working with David and the team from Genius Support, we have fast network storage, and great network and a new phone and broadband system. We can always get hold of the team on the phone and are never left in the lurch. Thanks Guys, you deserve this review. C Fenton
2014.01.22 13:14
We are very fortunate to have discovered David and the team at Genius support. They are incredibly helpful and informative and always come up with positive solutions to any problems we have.

Reviews about «Engage Computer Systems»
Great place. The staff are really friendly and helpful. They have a way of explaining IT without getting into the finer details of how a computer works - which is great if you are not a computer gyke b
2019.04.18 13:39
Fantastic shop. Staff are always helpful. I've never had a PC problem they couldn't fix.
2019.05.09 17:05
Over 12 years Engage Computers have supplied me with 2 computers made to my specification-they've been spot on. Recently they converted my Windows 7 pro to Windows 10... No glitches, no messing about and they even installed free security which works perfectly.
They've always given me good impartial advice.
I totally reccommend Engage Computer Systems.
2018.12.02 22:35
Engage Computers are a great company to deal with. We've had the pleasure of dealing with Andy and Mark and they're genuinely really nice guys who know their IT.
Have a lovely Xmas guys and keep up the good work.

Reviews about «Jennings Computer Services - York»
I took my MacBook Laptop here for a battery replacement, from start to finish, the service from the staff was fantastic. I left my laptop with them on Monday morning and it was ready on the Wednesday afternoon. The service is pricey, but at the same time, it's worth it. My MacBook works much better and like it's brand new. Would highly recommend Jennings Computer Services to anyone within the York area and would definitely use them again. Thanks Jennings Computer Services.
2019.01.31 12:53
Great place to get your computer fixed. Really friendly staff.
2019.04.25 16:25
Absolutely fabulous service! Came in with my broken Macbook Pro, was sure it was a goner being nearly a decade old. Leon went above and beyond in helping me out with it on the spot, and staying a little bit after closing time as I came in quite late in the day. Ended up leaving with my laptop in working order again within the hour.
2018.08.20 22:54
I took my virtually new MacBook Pro to Jennings after it very abruptly became unresponsive. I can't actually put into words how upset I was at the thought of the laptop being unrepairable and having to fork out for a brand new one. I was far from hopeful when I took the machine in, but Maxine immediately made me feel like the laptop was not yet doomed! Her customer service was faultless, in fact, she almost made me feel like she could fix it herself based on positivity alone! After a week with Pete (also known as the miracle worker), my laptop is back up and running and actually performing miles better than it did before it stopped working altogether. Thank you so much Jennings, 1000000% recommend!
2017.11.09 18:09
Provided an excellent and understanding when my iPad was exhibiting strange screen behaviour. They took the time to understand what was actually a very subtle defect in an iPad and then arranged a replacement with Apple, they even arranged a second replacement when the first replacement had the same problem.
When I've spoken on the phone they have always been honest and upfront about what they think the problem is and whether they can help. I never feel like I'm given the run around like I might be with official Apple support, and official Apple support would only send me to Jenning's anyway so may as well skip them out and go straight to the local experts.

Reviews about «CeX»
Really like this shop for my gaming needs . Great selection of games and movies . Plenty good quality electronic items such as phones . Consoles VR headsets and good selection of retro gaming. Nice big shop good staff a must visit .
2019.08.25 14:32
Really helpful service can't recommend highly enough!
2019.09.07 20:34
Your Cex Clinic service is exceptional. I dropped off my Surface Pro 2 to have one of the fans replaced as it had become unbearably noisy.
The job was done perfectly, with no loss of data and no damage to the rest of the machine. But what I liked most of all was that you went the extra mile and replaced some missing keys on my type keyboard for me at no extra cost! Thanks a lot
2019.05.13 09:26
Good deals on second hand goods very friendly staff
2019.08.18 12:35
Good. I bought a webcam and discovered a defect (a circular mark on the sensor which would show all the time). I took it back and swapped it for another one, no problems.

Reviews about «Currys PC World Featuring Carphone Warehouse»
Very good and informative The younger generation are very skilled at technology and are keen to help us older folks.
2019.09.14 06:43
Lack of sales assistants and eventually we found out the price to fit and remove old appliance was very expensive. John Lewis better value for fitting and removing old appliance.
2019.09.07 15:51
Poor service. It seems that the bloke standing at the counter waiting to part with his hard erned cash is not that important. As I moved towards the counter the Currys staffer moved away and busied herself in some paperwork. Then the guy at the next counter finished serving his client and went to help with the mystery paperwork. These two staff did not even acknowledge my existence let alone offer any service. After a few mins I called out and asked in a loud voice if there was any chance of getting serverd. One of the unsmiling staff grudgingly dragged himself over and eventually served me. Am I having a whinge? Yes I am ....I run my own business and if I treated my clients like these guys I would'nt last long.
2019.09.03 10:40
We have just been served by Jack at Curry York. His knowledge and his approach could not have been better. You have an excellent member of staff here. Thank you.
2019.08.24 15:22
Took my Asus in for a clean and tidy up. Bit of a technofobe so I have difficulty doing anything other than using the bits I need. John was extremely helpful. Thank you. I await it's return wirh my faults amended and corrected

Reviews about «Acomb Post Office»
Excellent Post Office staffed with incredibly friendly and attentive staff. This post office also has an array of stationary items, cards, plus a few sweets and drinks. They are very good at allowing you to package up your items on the desk and then pay all at once, some places insist on making you pay for packing material before using it. They’re also very good at giving advice on what method to post things.
2018.04.21 08:06

Fantastic service from the family running this post office. Always helpful and smiling! Thank you.
2019.11.10 17:18
Always friendly and helpful in this post office. An asset to the community - so many individuals and small businesses couldn't do without it.
2019.10.21 14:07
This was my first visit back to this post office in a little while. I used to use it now and again and usually use Copmanthorpe or Tadcaster Road post offices.
What a lovely, happy, friendly and courteous gentleman! He made my short visit very enjoyable. As did the lady who was working alongside him. I had a few parcels and he was helpful and most agreeable in the extreme, offering advice and suggestions to improve and help future postings. I think your nature shone out, sir, service with a smile - understatement. Very highly recommended this hardworking "new" owner. You deserve every success and you are definitely in the right job with your excellent customer service skills. Thank you and see you on my next visit. Wishing you every success. 😁😁 One of the easiest 5 🌟 ratings!
2019.08.21 06:48
Came here to return a parcel since the old branch at Lendal closed down. Expected a particularly slow service but was surprised at how quick my parcel was handled. Could do with a little bit of reorganizing in terms of selecting the packaging on the shelves but can't complain much. Staff were nice and helpful too.
2019.05.13 15:17
lovely man behind the counter. treated the parcel I posted with respect, and was so friendly and helpful. a really good experience for a tourist like me in york :)

Extremely efficient post office with lovely, helpful, friendly staff. We did n half miss you when this place was closed!! A much needed and appreciated service, you might not be told it every day or week, but we think you're fab, you always go the extra mile.
2019.07.25 12:40
The Post Office has returned to the site and the staff and owners are a huge improvement on the previous tenants, who themselves had taken over from a long-standing owner who had retired.
The Post Office counter staff now are polite and helpful and the queues are no longer long and slow.
This review supercedes my previous, negative, review.
2019.04.23 07:08
Good prices and good service when I have been in. We like to support local when we can.
2017.05.13 12:37
No longer a Post Office, list its trading license. 20/12/2017. It was bloody awful anyway so no surprise.

Reviews about «Royal Mail»
Very polite staff. Although queue was long we were seen too quickly considering the time of year
2020.01.04 11:15
Great polite staff, but not enough of them. Privatisation kicking in? Contradicting but correct information given out in comparison to a Local Post Office Counter. Not enough on-site parking, more space needed as the amount of customers proved!
2019.11.29 12:58
Efficient friendly, where would we be without royal mail. No one comes close
2019.12.30 10:15
Staff is very efficient. Although the parking may be an issue, there is a huge parking lot walking distance (2 min).
2019.12.11 04:37
Parking very awkward. If you can find a space, you often can't get out again.

2019.10.01 14:15
Staff were helpful. I was hesitant to go here because of all these one star reviews but the staff aren't rude. One was a little brusque but you can't expect everyone to be sunshine and daisies 24/7! (Especially when they're busy.)
Don't worry about it, the 1 stars are being silly.
2019.01.28 16:48
Rude, absolutely unhelpful and given wrong information about a parcel, causing massive inconvenience.
2019.05.15 12:39
I seem to agree with what others have said here. This is a great location and could be the potential to be a fantastic post office and convince store. The staff here, one in particular, though are incredibly hostile and very unfriendly.
I have heard some members of staff being nice to some customers however, this seems to be a select few that they seem to know.
I'll be doing my best to avoid going back into this post office branch.

Always great service and helpful I post numerous items a week there
2020.01.27 19:04
Tried to pick up a parcel during the advertised opening hours - the gentleman over the counter said they’re closed due to shortage of staff. All this when the shop’s clearly open and staffed. Would call it appalling service, but it’s not even service.
2020.01.18 14:14
The owner is a arrogant, unhelpful and gives you false information, so he can charge you more for unnecessary services provided by him. I went to a second Post Office to check if the information that he provide me with were accurate and of course it wasn't! I won't be coming back!! 0/10

Reviews about «Post Office»
I was not allowed to pick up my parcel using EU ID. The staff told me that it is an invalid ID, because 'this is UK, you need to show a UK passport'. The EU ID is an official document, accepted even by boarder police at UK boarder!! I did not expect to be discriminated against in a place like a post office.. Is refusing to serve a person due to them not being a UK citizen is even legal???
2019.06.20 11:36
Deliberately unhelpful & obstinate Postmaster. Refused to accept my ID when picking up online currency order because my passport is in married name and the payment card is in my maiden name (this caused no problem when ordering the currency!) - He wouldn't accept marriage cert as proof of ID until he'd been told to do so by Head Office - who I had to plead with him to call. The suggestion throughout the entire miserable exchange was that I had stolen the bank card, he even made the person at Head Office accept full liability in case the card did turn out to be stolen - an utterly embarrassing and wretched experience.
2019.08.22 16:01
A great little Post Office. Very helpful staff.
2019.05.10 20:56
The staff were deliberately unhelpful and spouted anti-EU propaganda the entire time I was there. They even used the word "polish" as if it were an insult in an of itself. I was utterly disgusted by the bigotry and ignorance displayed. Stay away.

Reviews about «Nationwide Building Society»
Thank You for your reply. I am appreciate the time you have given to get back to me. I will change from 1 star to 5 star, as you have been prompt to reply. I understand as regards AER, that it is up to 5%. I want you to know that this account is the best out there as regards interest. I noticed in branch that there was excellent customer service. Sorry for the inconvenience of my review, and hope Nationwide best for the future.
I would be very happy to contact someone in branch or over telephone, as regards the interest, because I am unsure about withdrawals, and if it may effect it. I will try reinvesting, to correct this.
Thank You, and all the best.
Mr Thomas Amesbury.

Quick service, friendly and help staff. Often busy on a weekend
2017.01.14 11:32
Rude staff and inability to open an account despite the application being approved over a month ago. No communication from them whatsoever and I have had to chase up on more than one occassion with no resolve to the situation. Worst customer service I have recieved from a bank or building society.
2020.02.07 15:31
All the staff are very helpfull

I like the bank for a couple of real simple reasons. They don't bother me with lots of questions when I'm making a deposit and it's smack in the heart of York city centre.

Reviews about «Lloyds Bank»
Visited this branch yesterday to get a mini statement of money in and had the most dismal experience at the "help desk".
"I don't think we can do that"
"Well your colleague did it 2 weeks ago"
Face like stone.
No hello , goodbye, nothing.
If Lloyds are trying to encourage people away from using branches, this is the way to do it.
2019.02.12 16:53
Its a bank like all others

2018.08.01 11:28
Terrible, slow service. Even the most basic of transactions or questions demand a lengthy amount of time at this branch.
2019.01.01 18:41
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.
