I recently booked and paid for our first ever AirBnB place for January next year and found out after I paid that if I applied a code I would have had a discount for my first ever use. I asked Airbnb about this as I was not familiar with booking on the system but they refused to allow me to use it or apply it on our next stay. Very disappointed.

Approximate cost: $160

This review is for B.B.Q. Spit Roast Catering, North Rocks NSW

verified email - 27 Oct 2014

I ordered a Meat Only Party for 60 guests and did the salads and desserts etc myself and hired Ken, the chef from B.B.Q Spit Roast Catering to carve and serve their food. He did a great job and cleaned up beautifully. The meat was as tender as described on their website and the party went well. The staff who took the booking were helpful and professional.

Approximate cost: $604

Lovely food, high quality ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with the food. Prices a bit high though.

This review is for Redpawpaw, Bondi Beach NSW

Signed up and paid for a year's worth of samples delivered by courier. After 2 months a month was skipped and then came the bombshell that they would now be adding an extra delivery charge to the scheme after I'd already signed up for the year! Also a clause was edited making no guarantee of the value of the samples in the box...when I signed up and paid for a year it was stipulated that you'd get $30 worth a month. Deceptive and misleading...

This review is for Dr John Flood, Hornsby NSW

verified email - 07 Jul 2014

Called Dr Flood's rooms to make an appointment for one of my children's large disfiguring moles to be removed and I had a GP referral. I was told that the Dr is "far too busy to see us and can only see skin cancer patients who are in high need" and that I'd need a whole new referral to someone else. Interestingly the website heavily features and advertises "breast implants, breast enhancement, breast lift, and breast reduction, liposuction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), body lift, fat injections, and body contouring and facelift, browlift, necklift, eyelid, chin and cheek implants, wrinkle reduction treatments and more!" Why advertise these services if you only take "skin cancer patients"?? Very disappointing and misleading.

Friendliest and most efficient Post Office ever. The staff are always cheerful and happy to serve and the queues are non existent although now people know about this great PO the queues may never be short again! The owner gave my son a toy a few times just for using their postal services.

This review is for Grill'd, North Ryde NSW

Went to Grill'd for the first time for lunch with the family and their burgers were really good and filling with a variety of ingredients. Service was pretty fast for a crowded Saturday.

This review is for Monkey Mania, Ryde NSW

Had my son's birthday party here and everything went smoothly and was well organised. The play centre was great fun and a big hit with boys and girls alike. The only suggestion for me was to improve the party food, it was a bit unimaginative and not as appetising as it could be for the price. The staff were wonderful.

This review is for Boobytrap Warehouse, Cowandilla SA

verified email - 18 Jun 2014

Signed up to register with the Boobytrap Warehouse after being sent a link by a friend. We have 3 females in the family so hoped to be able to do some bulk buying. In the sign up email back in early May the Boobytrap Warehouse promised me that they "hope(d) you found the experience a smooth and pleasant one. As a welcome gift we will be forwarding you two complimentary bras from our Lucky Dip range. Please enjoy these beautiful free bras on us."
These bras were never received and when I asked where they were a month later I got an exasperated reply saying that "we have now reached our limit of available bras under this promotion and we are therefore unable to send out any further free bras. "

This is not good business and to make matters worse many posts made on their facebook page weeks after I registered indicate that they are still sending bras out and people are still receiving them as recently as today. I asked why some people were still getting theirs while I was not and they've removed my posts.
If Boobytrap Warehouse cannot keep their word in a basic thing like this, I won't recommend them as a business to deal with.
