I first started to purchase chocolate from here way back in about 2002, I went mad buying from them. My fave were Carribean white chocolate gin truffles and the Calvados milk chocolate ones. But then I found over the years the quality seemed less, the choice less varied, so I took to buying from another shop where you can choose what you get. In the Hotel chocolat boxes there seems to be too many chocolates that are just "meh" in flavour, some too strong, some just there for the sake of them being "different".
The boxes are classy, they scream expensive but are sadly in my opinion lacking what they used to have.
So if you want to impress buy from them, but if it is for your own taste I recommend another store.

When ever I want to send a chocolate gift I always use this company, the chocolates are divine and best of all you can choose what you want put in your box... you can also choose what box, colour, size and shape!
As someone who adores boozy truffles this is great, my mum likes caramels so I can just choose that sort for her and ones without nuts. When buying you can really personalise the assortment, so no ore throwing out the strawberry/orange cream or Turkish delight!
A perfect service all round, customer service is very polite and efficient, the prices are reasonable and the chocolates are worth every penny.
I used to use Hotel chocolat but now I find it much more expensive than it used to be. I have been buying from them since 2002, but changed to Kennedys about 6 years ago.

Well I have been using George (Asdas stores) for some years now. I moved to Spain 15 years ago and started to use the online store. For price, range and quality it cannot be beaten. For bras in larger sizes it is wonderful. It used to be that I´d end up with a boring dull bra, now they are sexy and cute. I also used to pay over 30 pounds for a bra, now on George I only pay no more than 16 pounds and as little as 8 pounds. My only beef with them is this: Since they changed from shipping their own items the delivery is shoddy and the bags arrive ripped, taped back up, the clothes are all scrunched up. They changed to www.borderfree.com and it sucks big time. Items are missing from the package, sometimes you wait for one item to arrive separately and it does not. They cancel your order as the stock is not available. Two of my parcels which I tracked arrived to Spain but were returned because it said the address was wrong. But when we checked on the parcel site it was correct. Tried to order again and half the items were out of stock. Paypal no longer works on it, they only use it when THEY invoice you! I think this is so we cannot use the added insurance from Paypal when Borderfree fuffs up! When I pay from my visa debit card Borderfree takes the amount out straight away from my account but then does it again when they send the items out in individual parcels. I have been billed twice many times and I have to argue for it back. They give you some rubbish about the bank holding the funds but then oddly the money is refunded to me from Borderfree. NO ONE apologises at all and they just spit out the same story. George was wonderful, but now it is hit and miss if you get your full order. I always headed there for clothing for my grandsons and daughter before any other store. Baby and childrens clothing are a bargain, Great place for skinny jeans too :o) Toooooo many leggings/jeggings though (hate them). But now sadly less likely to bother due to all the hassle. Https :// global. George. Com/george/clothing/10, default, sc. Html--------------Update due to borderfree.com I would NOT recommend George clothing if buying from abroad. Asda customer service seem to be indifferent when you complain, telling you to contact Borderfree... which is complete cr*p. Shame as I normally spend hundreds of euros here a year! I have heard many people complain on Facebook groups about Borderfree, seems double billing is a thing they do a lot then deny it. NOT sure what to think of Asda/George any more as they seem to just back Borderfree and make excuses up, seems customer views mean very little to then, which is odd because without us they are royally fuffed!-------------------------------NEW UPDATE 2019 MARCH -------- Seems that someone has sorted themselves out a lot, now you can pay with Paypal again, so Borderfree cannot con you and charge you twice! The site allows you to log in to your George account, no more going to Borderfree. The orders arrive in nice packed bags on hangers which are NOT broken, seems George has listened and put things straight. And the orders arrive properly. So I changed the star rating from ONE to FOUR!

Dx.com is a wonderful site to pick up bits and bobs, gadgets for the kitchen, parts for pcs, mobiles, usb keys etc
The smart phones are cheap and worth a look at, some last a year (we got one for 40 euros) some up to three years and is still going (that one cost 98 euros)!
Free postage, good customer service and a wide range of goods.
Just remember that you get what you pay for most of the time, read the reviews that people have left. Never had any trouble with refunds or items not arriving.
Well worth a look at!

Clothing is nice, BUT sizing is hard, everything is too ample!
Also the material used is a tad hard to wash/iron and keep looking nice, much more work than other materials.
I looked like a bag of potatoes in several of my items as their sizing is very generous and I could not be asked to send it all the way back from where I live in Spain. So measure and double check with them, do not just assume you are a size 12 (their size 12 will be more of a 14).
Nice range and made well, good for hippies like me!

I got a tablet from here, it came from their European warehouse (I live in Spain) so all was good. BUT when it fuffed up and stopped working properly that was when the trouble began. I was told to return it for another or a refund, but returns are paid by YOU not the seller, even if faulty. Fair enough, I live in Spain and it came from Europe so I was prepared to send it back at my own expense.
That was until I was told that ALL faulty goods have to go back to China, to their warehouse there. SO I complained as they expected me to send it special delivery/signed for and that would cost me $60 plus. In the end I had no other choice but to look around the net and mend it myself! Found a really good forum and downloaded a new system etc
STUFF them I would never buy from them again!

Unless you are willing to pay huge custom fees then I would stay clear of buying from here, you get walloped at the door and have to pay loads in tax.
Only good for shop/store owners etc.
It is more of a wholesale kinda place and even if you think you have a good deal you can find the item somewhere else (Ebay normally) and the price will be higher but the buying process is easier.

Changed slightly 10/04/2019
Now their are more sellers sending single items.
If you cancel an order you get a refund within a week, they have buyers insurance much like Ebay now.
Raised up by 2 stars.

Never had trouble using Amazon, there are just good at what they do.
Their customer service is good, the return process easy and the PRIME free delivery is great! Prices are good and bad, so just have a good look around the site for the best one.
YES YES YES buy from them :o)

---------------------------------
UPDATE
Took 2 stars of because there are loads of Chinese stores on there now, which you do not know until you complete the purchase. So a lot of low quality items, false advertising and photos, lengthy delivery times, more returning of goods, more fake items
Etc

Okay this is a hit and miss site!
Many of the sellers are fine folk, honest and just doing what they know best BUT then there are absolute bastards who con you.
When you complain ioffer.com does NOTHING!
They simply hold up their hands and say "We are merely a selling platform".
The thing is they are a platform/stage for fraud and they are well aware of it.
I have reported them to numerous people (The FBI internet unit, Consumer groups etc) and yet still they are doing what they do best... turning a blind eye while people are being robbed!
If you use your visa you will suddenly get more junk mail and sadly maybe even your card will be copied, as soon as I used the site I lost money from my account and it was from a Chinese registered business. Had to claim it all back through my bank insurance. I have been using the internet to buy things since 1997 and NOT ONCE has that happened before using ioffer.com.
The tracking info for parcels is fake, many are just numbers linked to no where or it will say the info has not been registered as it is too soon, but still it does not show.
It is a shame as some sellers are good people, but how can you tell?
Not all the reviews are shown, ioffer.com always says they will remove the bad seller but they either don´t or they do and the seller comes back under their other listed store name. MANY of the stores are the same people.
Returns are almost not available as it costs more to ship back than to buy most items, the sellers normally ignore any bad feedback or problems you ave anyway.
It is a relative pirate sort of store, there be bad uns! Hiding behind the kindly written adverts.
SO STAY AWAY! Or if you like a risk go for it, pot luck so to speak :o)
