This review is for GoGet Carshare, Glebe NSW

verified email - 15 Apr 2011

I've been a GoGet Member for almost two years now and all in all am happy with the company. However, there a a customer service issues that they need to work at:

1) Often the monthly Invoice they send out has not been calculated correctly. It is quite time consuming to constantly make them aware of this, only for this to happen again.

2) I do not understand how a business of this size only operates Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm. If one has an issue that arises before 9am or after 5pm or on weekends, it takes forever to reach someone at GoGet. Totally frustrating, imagine having a car accident or you booked a car and the card will not work (happens a bit), and you cannot reach someone at GoGet. This, in my opinion, is a huge negative point for GoGet.

Other than that, being a GoGet member can save you a great amount of money and I certainly recommend it.

This review is for Liberty Hairdresser, Sydney NSW

I agree with the previous review re the cost and value at Liberty Leichhardt. I dropped into the salon the other day for a quick cut, I didn't have an appointment but they were nice enough to fit me in. The salon itself looks very dated and could definitely do with a renovation. The trainee who washed my hair was, like the previous review mentioned, very harsh and it hurt quite a bit. The cut was over in 10 minutes and cost me $45, which I found excessive given the service I received. I mean, this included no blow-dry, the cut did not take longer than 10 minutes and it is not a modern high class salon. Especially in this day and age of daily deal vouchers with many well known hairsalons offering a whole package below $100, I don't think Liberty should charge this prices without offering better value. The girls in the shop were ok, not overly friendly but also not rude. Be warned though as they will try pushing products on you. Overall, happy with the cut and grateful I got in without an appointment, but unlikely to visit again.

Approximate cost: $45

This review is for Find A Babysitter, Pyrmont NSW

Fantastic site for parents looking for a nanny/babysitter and for nannies/babysitters looking for jobs. I have found various babysitting jobs through this website, can highly recommend it. Parents pay a fee to use their services, but caretakers can contact families for free.

This review is for Melbourne Metro YHA, North Melbourne VIC

verified email - 13 May 2009

A few girlfriends and I recently went down to Melbourne for a few days and had booked a 4-bed dorm at the Melbourne Metro YHA. Fantastic value for money, everything is new and the whole place looks like a hotel, but for backpacker prices. Will stay here again next time I am in Melb.

Approximate cost: $33/night pp

I went to Photoland to have passport photos taken, received fast, friendly and efficient service plus its location is very convenient for city workers. I paid $24.95 for a set of 4.

Approximate cost: $24.95 for passport photos

Aussie House Sitters is a fantastic website for homeowners looking for someone to look after their house and pets while they are away on holiday. I have been a housesitter for the past 2 years and get many of my housesits through this website, highly recommended!!

This review is for Bookkeeping Is Jellybeans, Annandale NSW

Julia has been doing my bookwork for nearly two years and is fantastic! She has certainly got my business running much smoother, I just don't know what I'd do without her.

This review is for Housecarers House and Pet Sitting Directory, Merewether NSW

I had been registered with this website for two years without getting any housesitting jobs, there are just too many housesitters and not enough housesits available. I have been registered with a different housesitting website for the past year and get about 30% of my housesits through them, the rest through word of mouth. For homeowners I definitely recommend www.housecarers.com as they have a lot of candidates to choose from, but as a housesitter I would not recommend this site, especially considering the yearly fee one pays.
