  Verified Best Pool Supplies

Great company to deal with. Very fast dispatch and shipping. Good pricing and product. Plus I was allowed to return an item I did need.

Very few dramas with the internet over about 4 years, some issues here and there. They slowly increased the price to being not very competitive at all. I think taking advantage

that most people can't be bothered moving. They advertised as no disconnection fee but when I left they charged me a minimum 30days notice period. Not super impressed after using them for so many years.

  Airtasker

Dangerous. Don't use Airtasker for trade works, you're not covered. Use HiPages! – Dangerous. Warning to using Airtasker. Try HiPages for qualified trades instead. I had an advertised 'Licensed' electrician carry out work on my family home. A few weeks later

a call from Electrical Safety Qld asking to inspect the works (tipped off by another party). After the regulators inspection the work was deemed non-compliant and unsafe. The works were disconnected and a notice written to have it fixed. He used single insulation wire, exposed copper and then found at by the electrician 2.5mm cable on a 32A circuit breaker. Completely dangerous.

I contacted Airtasker asking for compensation to cover the rectification works - or even just a refund. I got told that per their terms and conditions it was not their obligation to refund and I should contact the worker (who now won't answer the phone). No offer of any compensation what so ever. Unbelievable. I will pursue further.

Don't use them. Contact HiPages where the trades are vetted and guaranteed.

  Verified Upwork

Warning to Anyone Using Upwork – Warning to all considering using Upwork. Anyone considering using Upwork please be very careful and tread with caution. You are not protected by using their services in anyway

shape or form. If you are a client using their services you have no protection.

I created a contract, paid milestones then had a freelancer just stop responding. Only responeded when I asked for a refund. I lost time and a lot of money. I found the hard way you have no protection and you will loose your money if a freelancer just decides not to finish the contract. And to top it off the freelancer is allowed to give you a bad review.

Such has been my experience. Many emails back and forward with Upwork's so called 'support' team (they should be called the un-support team). Upwork wash their hands of providing any support for such issues. I am only seeing it from my side but it was pretty clear cut that I had been ripped off by a Freelancer. I ask to be fully compensated and there was not one offer of any sort of rectification by Upwork at all. I would have been happy if even they returned the fees I had paid or offered no fees on a new freelancer but zilch and here we are.

  Aramex Australia

As a business, could not be worse – Paid a premium to have a shipment delivered within 3 days from Melbourne to Brisbane. Partially delivered the order 4days late. No way of contacting them to find out when the

other half will be delivered. Not sure why it's so hard to deliver on time or be contactable. All round rubbish service. I would not own shares in this company.
