Managed to get another great price on a DVD boxed set. £5 at CeX plus postage. Cheapest I could find elsewhere was £18, secondhand.

A star off because CeX charge postage on individual items. Seems like they could offer combined postage to save money.

Nonetheless, CeX are great. I always check their prices.

I recently purchased some e-store credits to use for my Nintendo Switch. I do so because you effectively get a small percentage of bonus credit - e.g. a £25 gift card for the Nintendo store is on sale for £23.99 at Loaded. It's only a small amount extra but it adds up.

After purchase you are then provided with a code that can be used on the Nintendo store to add credit to your account. This code arrives quickly and easily. The whole process is very speedy and transparent.

Loaded is now my go-to seller for purchasing credit in this manner. They are a great company that I would recommend.

Oh, and very lastly, if you have a Nectar account, you can collect Nectar points for purchases made at Loaded. Look at details on the Nectar app. Again, another little bonus.

Stumbled across LFLovers whilst doing some Black Friday shopping.

The prices were so low that I was initially skeptical. However, I read some extremely positive Trustpilot reviews and decided to purchase two bags. These arrived the next day!

The items were securely packaged; two beautiful, authentic Loungefly products. I will 100% order again for LFLovers. Highly recommended.

Recently purchased a Nespresso Vertuo Pop for my Mum's birthday. This came from a third party website at a very good price. I was, however, able to claim the 50 free pods from Nespresso directly. These were dispatched so, so quickly. They then arrived promptly and safely. Indeed, I am always so impressed with the speed and efficiency of Nespresso's customer service.

I purchased Wingspan Special Edition for the Switch, the physical edition. This was at an excellent price with free postage. It was dispatched super quickly and it arrived safely. Not sure what else I can say. I will always check The Game Collection when purchasing computer games. I would recommend them in the strongest possible terms.

I must confess I've been aware of Pro:DirectSport for a while but I've never used the company because I was suspicious of the prices. They are consistently some of the lowest on the internet - in terms of football shirts etc.

I finally decided to make a purchase, which included a decent Black Friday related discount. The item was exactly as advertised, the communication was excellent, and the shirt arrived promptly and safely. It was an authentic item.

I will definitely look to use Pro:DirectSport again. Recommended

I have used CDKeys before to buy DLC for a variety of games. I must confess, using independent sites like this, as opposed to Steam or even the Nintendo e-shop, has made me nervous in the past. The prices always seem a little too good to be true.

However, CDKeys are a provider that I trust. The price was accurate, the information about the download code / key process was clear and accurate. I downloaded the DLC the next day. I saved something like 25% over buying the product from Nintendo directly. I even saved a good 20% buying from somewhere like Amazon.

What else can I say? I would recommend CDKeys most highly. A 5-star experience.

I recently pre-ordered a Nintendo Switch game. HMV offered the cheapest price I could find on the web, including free postage. A couple of days before the game was due to be released, HMV sent a message noting there had been delays with the supplier and so they would not be able to dispatch the item in keeping with their delivery estimate. In the end, the game was only delayed by a couple of days. Indeed, it arrived promptly and safely.

Thus, I would recommend HMV based on this experience. A good price on the item, clear communication around an issue effectively out of their control, and a quick and safe delivery once the item was dispatched.

I typically go to Fanatics for US sporting products: NHL, NBA, NFL. You can get some good/ solid items and decent prices if you wait for sale codes etc. Be mindful with these prices and codes though. It's possible to find items much cheaper through other providers. Prices fluctuant enormously on this site.

To be fair Fanatics are usually pretty prompt dispatching items, and all my purchases have arrived safely so far.

One final issue: I detest how Fanatics charge a 'handling fee'. It's usually only a £1 or so, but it's just greed on greed, especially given the cost of sporting goods and the mark-up companies like Fanatics add.

So, what do I conclude: I would always try to find another provider, but Fanatics have cornered particular aspects of the market. If you have to use Fanatics then monitor prices and wait for discounts. In turn, have no fears about the customer service / delivery side of things. They seem to do well here.

I'm a big fan of Skinny sauces and syrups, especially when trying to maintain a calorie deficient when training. As I've said in a previous review, the sauces simply aren't as nice as their fuller calorie equivalents - they have a strange taste and texture. However, it's possible to acquire the taste of these products and with the addition of a little salt, the savoury examples can be quite pleasant.

I've reduced my score from a previous review by one star. I have two reasons: first, the packaging in which items are posted has deteriorated in quality. There's very little padding in the postal boxes. On a couple of occasions certain bottles of sauce have arrived cracked or damaged because of this.

And two, I don't like the transparency around pricing. 425ml bottles of sauce are often advertised as 'on sale' at the £3.99 price point, reduced from the RRP of £4.49. This is misleading. The items are never on sale for £4.49 so I'm not sure how this can be advertised as a genuine reduction. In turn, it's usually possible to find 425ml bottles of sauce in places like Home Bargains or B&M for around £2ish. Thus, the £3.99 'sale' price is expensive. Skinny do regularly offer bundles of sauces, but these fluctuate in price, and you can certainly pick up some sauces at £1.99. The latter feels closer to 'true' value.

So overall, some good products once you adjust to the taste but issues with postal packaging and issues with pricing. 3 stars. I'll continue to buy Skinny products but generally a bit disappointed since my last review / experience.

As always, I use CeX as my go-to source for out of print / rare / older DVDs. Their prices are always very competitive. 90 times out of a 100 they are cheaper than people selling on eBay. The item in question was delivered quickly and safely.

However, I did note with this recent experience that postage costs had increased by something like £1 per item. In many regards that's not CeX's fault. Britain is clearly facing a crisis with its postal delivery (thank you very much privatisation), but it does mean that CeX are now more costly to use. Just something to consider.

I ordered a Joy Toy Warhammer figure. This was priced very competitively. Indeed, it was a new item that mirrored prices for second hand items on eBay.

The team at Planet Action Figures kept me updated about the order and about delivery times. The figure itself arrived quickly and safely packaged.

Feels like a 5-start review is entirely appropriate here. I'll always check Planet Action Figures if I'm looking to expand my collection. Recommended

I bought six Funko Pops. The prices were very competitive and I was able to secure free postage. There was a slight issue with the latter - I was charged for postage by mistake - but this was resolved really quickly.

The items arrived safely and securely packaged. I will definitely purchase from Cutouts and Collectables again. Recommended

Recently purchased a second-hand Mini-SNES gaming system from CeX. It was the cheapest price on the web, much cheaper than eBay. It arrived safely packaged and in working order. As always, I am impressed with CeX prices and customer service.

Recently had an eye test and purchased some glasses. First the strengths of the visit. The eye test was excellent. The optician was very professional and knowledgeable, answering any questions I had. The experience of then choosing frames and lens was smooth, friendly and easy. Both these members of staff were excellent.

Second, the less positive aspects. The shop was extremely busy. The appointment was late by something like 15 minutes. When I asked about this, another member of staff, not the two already mentioned, responded defensively and without apology. Indeed, I got the impression that the store had overbooked appointments and was understaffed.

And the neutral aspects: glasses and lens are expensive, or they can be. I don't see Vision Express as being particularly price friendly but I also don't see them as being any less competitive than other high street opticians.

Overall, a constructive and positive experience. I'll use Vision Express again.

I've shared reviews for CeX multiple times now. In essence, I'm just repeating myself so I'll keep it short. For rare or out of print DVDs, CeX are one of the best online stores. More often than not, the prices for films or TV shows is cheaper than alternative provides, including eBay.

The items are always swiftly dispatched, safely packaged and in good condition.

I'll keep checking CeX whenever I'm in the market for a rare, old or obscure film or show

I ordered a couple of catnip plants on the Tuesday. These arrived rapidly and securely on the Thursday morning. The packaging was excellent - the little plants were in rude health on arrival - and the care instructions were very clear and helpful. The emails received from Herbal Haven were also friendly and useful.

It's obviously a little pricier ordering plants on the web, especially with the postage costs, but I would highly recommend Herbal Haven to you. I thought their service was excellent and reasonably priced, all things considered.

Ordered three classic films at a very solid price. Two of these reached me without issue. The final package arrived promptly but contained the wrong film. I contacted CeX on the same morning. They got back to me by late afternoon and the correct film arrived with me on the following day. In spite of the error, I consider that to be excellent customer service. I continue to be a big fan of CeX

A more than solid experience. Got a decent price on Boltgun on PC. A good 20% off the RRP. That was positive. As it was a pre-order, the code wasn't available immediately. That was fine but I had anticipated an email from CDKeys to alert me to the moment when the code was available. This didn't happen and I was left to manually check until it became available. This was a relatively minor issue and it wouldn't put me off buying from CDKeys again. Indeed, I found website clear and user friendly, and that all important price point was very competitive.

I would definitely recommend checking CDKeys if you're searching for PC games via download.

It's a message I repeat in my reviews of CeX: it's a great place to buy rare or out of print DVDs. I've just purchased a further batch of films. I obtained most of these from CeX for a few pounds each plus postage. On eBay or other providers, these films were often going for twice the price or more.
