I returned an online order in the Kingston H&M. They said “all ok, we’ll refund in your original payment method” A week later I realised that they never refunded me. I ask in their Hammersmith store and then their online support to explain - they asked me to go back to Kingston, to investigate! Terrible service and behaviour
I am reviewing the experience I had with presales only (not the insurance itself). Pascal was very helpful, responsive and knowledgable. He explained everything I asked clearly and transparently.
Well, what can I say about Aegean? Where do I even start?
As a Greek living abroad for many years, I have flown with them over a hundred times. You would think that level of loyalty counts for something, but apparently not. My experience can be summed up in five words: Expensive, Unhelpful, Untrustworthy and Dirty. Maybe add 2-3 more. SMALL LEG-SPACE
The Perks are a Myth: They promise "perks" like business class upgrades that, in my experience, never actually materialize. It feels like a bait-and-switch.
The "Aegean Pass" : Recently, I missed the deadline to use my prepaid tickets (Aegean Pass). We are talking about 8 tickets in total (4 members x 2 journeys). I accepted the loss of 6 tickets, but contacted them to see if they could make a small exception for just one family member (from the "genAIration") so it wasn't a total loss.
Patronizing Service: Not only did they refuse to help—effectively cashing in on 8 prepaid tickets without providing a single seat—but the response I received was patronizing and downright rude. Being reminded of "the terms you accepted" in a condescending tone is no way to treat a long-term customer.
If you are looking for "Company Values," look elsewhere. They are more interested in keeping your prepaid money than keeping their customers.
Paypal used to be ok-ish. Now it is close to scam. Especially the credit! I made purchases free of interest if paid by xx date in THE FUTURE. They charged me interest. I asked them to provide a break down in the bills. NOTHING. I asked them to make sure itis CLEAR what amount will be charged with interest in EVERY BILL. NOTHING This is absurd, i will stop using them
Also continious nonsense messages that my address is not accurate (or the same with the bank)
Charged £59 pcm without a prior notification. I Can’t even find the payment method in their site to delete it. Value for job finding is very limited. After reviewing here and complaining to them (3-4 emails) I got a refund.

PHISHING SCAMMERS!!! Charged for a subscription I never bought. I started an IQ test (my son) and at the end I was asked to pay a £7 fee (classical). Apparently somewhere in small letters there was a subscription(????) for £24.95 (for what?).
Changed to 3 stars after getting a refund!

Some of the key information was hidden in a screen that you had to click 4-5 times from the home page. It wasn't even in the documents I was given prior to payment. Staff was friendly on the phone but even they couldn't find the info and they had to put me on hold for 5-10' !

I paid for shipping and then paid again for return. This is online shopping from the 80s. Had the product information been accurate on their site, I would have avoided funding courier companies.
The reply below is just for show. After 3 e-mails they just restated their policy (which is my review!)

Paypal credit is a scam. I Paid with paypal credit an amount of £397, paypal credit “promised” to be paid back in 4 months. After spotting that the direct debit will take the full amount, I contacted them and they ensured me that this is not the case. Come the direct debit date it took the full amount. Now they do NOT respond.
Speeds are good, very small issues with stability. WiFi repeaters are needed with the VM router (depends on the house architecture I guess)

Hey Theo, thank you for reaching out and taking the time to leave a review today. and I'm sorry to hear you're having an issue with your WiFi connection. There are so many things that can influence a WiFi connection some of which include but are not limited to, a fish tank being in the same room, walls being built with concrete instead of brick, it could even be that your next door neighbours router is interfering with yours. Due to this, we are only able to offer limited help. Please have a look here: https://virg.in/wifisos
The Hub's location could also be causing the coverage problem so we do need to check the positioning of it. Can you please ensure the following: > Out in the open > Next to the TV not behind it > Away from large bodies of water (e.g. fish tanks) > Away from baby monitors and cordless phones > Away from microwaves Think of the Hub as a radio, and WiFi as the sound - the further away you are from the radio, or the more obstacles that are in the way (walls, electronic devices etc.), the quieter the radio & the poorer the WiFi.
If that doesn't help, if you have the Hub 3, you can download our Connect App which will allow you to scan areas of your home and will offer help. You can view more information on that here: https://virg.in/connectapp.
If after going through the self-checks, you still need some help, feel free to pop along to our Community Forum where our staff and users have a wealth of knowledge and experience to help you out: virg.in/CoBb.
Please do feel free to contact us on any of the methods below:
AVOID!!! scammers. Headphones weren’t working, they asked for a photo evidence (for real???), after 5 uploads of mp4, they refused to take responsibility. Escalated to ALIexpress or whatever they are called, but they are the same
Appalling service, envelope with important papers to a government office was returned back after 25 days. I called to ask what happened and they said they “couldn’t get access”. To a public office!
