I used to get directed to Quora occasionally when posing an online query and found it quite useful.
Recently I was directed there and was dismayed by some of the distasteful images and comments that were unrelated to the subject matter I was looking for. I really can't take Quora seriously now because it seems to be a platform for some rather disturbed contributors.

I have been shopping at this online ladies clothes shop for some time now. Apart from sizes varying with different garments it's a great place to find what you want. Generally nice quality, good selections, great offers, speedy delivery and returns easy by post at a cost of just £3.
As high street retailers are disappearing by the week, Roman offers a reliable alternative source of attractive dressy or casual outfits.

Tip for consumers:
Well packed. Easy returns.

Products used:
Dresses, skirts, jackets, tops, cardigans, blouses, shorts, Capri pants, jeggings, trousers.

Outgrown their ability to serve their customers.
Gardening Express started off well, I used to love them, but after bombarding you with emails with good special offers, the ability to deliver plants within a time frame or deal with queries is now woefully inadequate.
Gardening Express promises much but delivers little.
I had a real problem with my last order in particular, only after several emails over several weeks did I get a totally unhelpful and fruitless reply.
DO NOT ACCEPT THE TRUSTPILOT 5 STAR RATINGS. I have no idea where the reviews are coming from but I doubt they are recently genuinely satisfied customers.
The reviews here reflect what I suspect are the majority of customer experiences.

Products used:

Why is it that you only find these reviews after you have bought from these dodgy firms? It will teach me not to rely on the 5-star ratings they put on their Google listings purporting to come from trust pilot!

Got sent the wrong battery, emailed them about it and they gave me a link to get the right one which arrived today. I think it was their fault, they say it is mine. They said they would refund me after I returned it. The post office wouldn't accept my return as it's a battery and this company won't send me a returns label for hermes or collect plus to ensure a safe easy return.
Their emails started off ok but ended up fairly curt and after a week of this I am giving up and will have to bear the loss of the wrong battery.
Conclusion: they are cheap……. But only if they work properly and you don't have to return one. I wish I hadn't bought the second battery from them now…. I hope it holds its charge. From other's comments, I suspect it might not!
Right…. The second battery…. Held its charge for 1 hour only on Zoom.
Gone to mediation to try and resolve.

Tip for consumers:
Be aware that you have to return yourself with very very strict guidelines to follow. You can’t use the Post Office for returns. Any emails may be answered but the replies seem to be at cross-purposes with yours somehow!

Products used:
Replacement laptop battery
