While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Went into the Glasgow store (Townhead) looking to buy named grid switches (cooker, fridge, microwave etc) but unfortunately there were none in stock. It was a Saturday and near closing time (almost noon). Despite that, the guy in the store went out of his way to get me the codes for the items I needed so that I could order them online when I got home. That's great customer service. I could have went elsewhere for the switches but why would I after his help. Got home and ordered them and they all arrived very promptly.
