The usual blither on the title page and then - none of the links work. What's the point?

Back down to one star, RM has gotten rid of the proper online price finder that allowed you to input size/weight/value and see relevant services. Now all you can do is download a crummy pdf. The old system was quick and easy and useful for finding insured services for high value items. Its like these companies go out of their way to employ useless morons to run their websites.

UPDATE: Has improved some what; compensation is easier to get and they have finally adjusted the rates more in line with others. However, still no ability to get normal tracking service from a post office counter, if you buy online with a personal account you CAN'T drop off at a post office! Insane. A lot of online options not available at post office, this is because Royal Mail and The Post Office are two companies due to moronic privitisation. Whole thing needs to be renationalised and run based on customer service not profits to shareholders!

Only use Royal Mail for the smallest and cheapest contents. Their large parcel rates are a joke and most importantly their 'compensation' scheme is an absolute con. The site is a joke - Reference numbers don't work, reCaptcha's don't work (work on every other site I use) meaning it is almost impossible to make a claim. Also be aware that if you are an online seller they DO NOT compensate the value of the item you sold only WHAT IT COST YOU (and you need proof of buying it) - so those antiques you inherited with no receipt are WORTHLESS according to these people. This organisation deserves no sympathy and at the moment I would happily see them go bankrupt.

This is a review for the app as much as anything - the site just sells rubbish with a logo for a barely working app on it - crashes constantly, can't remove photos and most importantly no direct way to remove an account so god knows what happens to your data. Just cos people are stoners doesn't mean they have to accept this lazy garbage.

UPDATE: Unfortunately requires flash player which is not supported by ANYONE anymore (including adobe) as its a security black hole. Shame, be nice if they updated it but probably won't happen.

This is a great little site that I'm surprised is not more popular. It basically gathers all the news for all over the web and presents it in a simple graphical way using just boxes. Different subjects (world news, entertainment, science etc) are group by colour with items varying in size depending on how well read and popular they are - the bigger the box the bigger then news. You can also select your location so that the news is localised (to some degree).
It does occasionally go down for maintenance and can be a little slow to load but that's not surprising considering all that fishing it doin! Also the smallest items shown need to have the mouse moved over them to read and it includes items from paid news services which can be frustrating if you just want to read one item.
Overall though this is a cool little site - so much so that it has been my home page for some time now!

UPDATE: no longer the same site, is a wordpress site about musical instruments mostly in a language I don't understand.

Yet another rip off site, this ones just a bit (tiny bit) more clever than the usual. Rather than making you pay to send messages you pay to read them. This is only made clear on the upgrade page and is absent from all other info. There does appear to genuine people on here but the fact that this site pretends to be free to message when it is not is inexcusable.

Totally slow and unresponsive, riddled with scripts that don't work and make the site unusable. Hilarious for a tech site really...
