Lollyworld is just amazing! They have such a huge variety of chocolates and lolly both Australian and overseas. They have some great bulk buys deals and often have great seasonal specials for Halloween, Easter andChristmas . They also sell wedding chocolates so they really have something for every occasion.

The prices are the best I have seen, postage is very reasonable and very quick!! We ordered a one kilo chocolate Easter bunny from them last Easter it was well packed and delivered in one piece.

The brands are well known like Allen's and red tulip so you know your getting quality products at great prices.

Highly Recommended!

This review is for Domayne, Kotara NSW

verified email - 03 Jan 2013

After seeing an advertised special from Domayne (30th Dec) my husband decided to place an order on the online store. The order was processed very quickly and they took no time at all to charge the credit card.

We received an email to say that the order been shipped in full on the 31st Dec. As the 1st January is a public holiday we assumed we would receive our order on the 2nd. When nothing arrived I contacted Domayne because the tracking information we were sent returned "no scans" my message was passed on to the store where the item was being sent from where I was informed it was sitting on their back door ready to be collected by the courier today if I would like to pick it up from the store I would need to notify them IMMEDIATELY.

I've a. paid for delivery and b. if I wanted to pick up in store I would have selected the "pick up from store" option or went into the store.

I kindly informed them that as my husband works 30km away and we only have one car this wasn't an option please just send it with the courier.

I was than told it could take up to 2 days because "of the time of the year"

It is now the 3rd of January, I am yet to see my item and the tracking still does not work. It turns out that we live less than 15km from the store it is being sent from...

Also what was an advertised special with postage for $101 was advertised elsewhere with postage for $90.

I am so disappointed with their service I have sent a complaint directly to Domayne. I am awaiting a reply.

4 days and 11km... The store manager could have drove it here after work... I could have walked there and back... Really not worth the time and hassle of "convenience"

This review is for Cock & Bull, Cairns QLD

The Cock & Bull is pub grub at it's very best! My in laws visit here every time they are in town and when we went to visit we had the pleasure of having lunch here as well.

The meals are of a very high quality, the service is excellent, the value is AMAZING!! It's a must visit if your in Cairns.

The meal sizes are the best value for money I have ever seen. I had a chicken schnitzel (served with chips and salad) and was offered about 3 different sauce selections. The food was fresh, well made, tasted great.

My husband raved about the "Death by Chocolate" dessert as he had eaten here before and WOW it is a real chocoholics dream! But be warned if you order this it is one your going to want to share as it's a very large dish but it absolutely amazing!

I think you would be hard pressed to find a location which could match these prices with this quality!! While it is in a pub the venue is very family friendly and pretty quiet though I hear it can get very busy for lunch!!

Loved it! Can't wait to take another holiday just to go back!

This review is for Sniddy's Schnitzel Steak and Seafood, Hamilton NSW

verified email - 02 Jan 2013

We ordered from Sniddy's restaurant via restaurant express delivery service. They rang us to confirm the order and the meal turned up within the given time frame and was surprisingly great quality and still hot.

The food tasted great, the value well it's not too bad as the meals do taste really good but they could be bigger found the main servings were a little small for a full meal as we didn't order entrees.

Great quality and service!

This review is for Yu Wah Restaurant, Uralla NSW

verified email - 01 Jan 2013

Yu Wah is a family run business which as been operating in Uralla for over 20 years. In all this time they have remained the best value for money Chinese restaurant in the area. The service and quality as only gotten better with time.

The Yu Wah is open for dine in, take away, special functions and weekly smorgasbord.

The meal sizes are very generous and good value for money, always fresh and made to order. The service is always friendly and as you coming back again and again.

Over the years we have been a customer of the Yu Wah we have tried out every service from dining in to taking away to cater for more than 30 people for a family event. The quality and service as never been less than perfect.

Highly recommended!

This review is for Salina Restaurant, Belmont NSW

verified email - 01 Jan 2013

What a real disappointment, we called in a take away order on opening to be picked up in half an hour. We went into the restaurant within the time. First thing I noticed was the stark boring white rather unappealing appearance of the restaurant, the next thing I noticed was the amount of waitresses standing about with apparently nothing to do...

We walked to the counter with no less than four waitresses... eventually someone asked if they might be of help after staring at each other... We asked for our order... They couldn't find it... The waitress went to ask again so we were standing at the bench waiting... during this time we were asked no less than 3 times by different waitresses if they could help... Seriously? We had been standing there already for about 5 minutes and they were all standing there when the first waitress asked...

Eventually our order was found... It was wrong... We had ordered and extra side of chips but we got no chips as we were not charged we didn't bother making a fuss since we had now been waiting about 10 minutes we just wanted to collect our order and go home...

They took our payment and threw our order into a plastic bag tipping the trays over... having the sauce run out...

Once we got home unpacked our order we were very disappointed in the portions sizes given the price. The soft shell crab was very nice but the portion hardly justified a main meal. The pizza they call "gourmet" well I've had better and cheaper from Domino's and it was the worse Oyster Kilpatrick I have ever had in my life. The sauce what little of it that was left in my oysters was was runny and very tasteless.

Bottom Line... I'd return perhaps if it was under new management. The service was terrible, there seems to be no communication between the staff at all, the value and quality of meal was terrible while you get a 10% discount for take away meals it also seems they deduct this from the quality and service as well.

Approximate cost: $From $20

This review is for Canopy Cafe, Dorrigo NSW

verified email - 31 Dec 2012

The most stunning thing about the Canopy Cafe is the setting. Nestled on top of the gate way to the Dorrigo National Park and sky walk it is the perfect stop for a lunch or a snack and a coffee after a walk through the rainforest.

I've had the pleasure to dine here on several occasions. The coffee is very nice and the snacks are always fresh and yummy. The lunches are always fresh and taste lovely. My one complaint would have been when we ordered the grilled baramundi fillet which was some what under cooked, but once this was brought to the attention of the staff it was taken away and cooked properly.

The value isn't too bad. The service is like wise. For me it's more about the location than anything. If you eat out side you will find the brush turkeys are more than friendly and would love to share your lunch so don't take your eyes off your plate.

Nice place for lunch after a beautiful walk in the national park, full of wildlife and well shaded.

This review is for Lisnagarvey Cottage, Dorrigo NSW

verified email - 31 Dec 2012

Lisnagarvey cottage offers you a beautiful luxury accommodation self contained farm stay in your own private cottage set on 186 acres of working cattle farm.

Lisnagarvey was the setting of the beginning of a beautiful relationship it was the fist place myself and boyfriend (now my husband) took holiday. It was beautifully romantic and we enjoyed our week stay there immensely.

Nestled out of the town boundary you get a sense of being in the middle of no where while being just a few minutes out of town. Your only neighbors are the lovely people whom own Lisnagarvey Mark and Elaine. Who are very welcoming and leave you to enjoy the cottage in peace.

The cottage boasts a private deck with an amazing view out over the property. The location is excellent it's well with in range of town and things to do such as the national parks and galleries.

The cottage is well maintain and comes with a well stocked kitchen with some of the basic pantry ingredient supplied. Breakfast is included upon request at the additional charge of $20 (continental) or $35 (fully cooked) per couple per night.

The chocolates and port on arrival are a nice touch. It is a beautiful romantic getaway set in the beautiful green mountains of Dorrigo. Perfect for a week or a weekend.

Highly Recommended!

This review is for Uncle Festers, Woodend VIC

verified email - 31 Dec 2012

I have been a regular customer of Uncle Fester's for close to 10 years now. The quality and service of their items as never wavered if anything it's just got more impressive.

It was a real shame to see them close the doors of their physically store due to the economic down turn but the online store is still going very strong.

The are the best online store for all your new age needs that I have come across, along with the regular items such as incense, candles, books, CD's, clothing, ornaments and everything in between they stock a wide variety of Alchemy Gothic products, Giftware and Hayden's special hand made creations.

My most recent purchase was for my wedding we bought a whole bunch of "Uncle Fester's Lucky Charms" for our bonbonnieres the guests loved them!

Uncle Fester's also offers monthly clubs from beginners to advanced, these are fantastic every month is a surprise and great value for money. There is also a weekly newsletter to keep you informed.

Margaret is very helpful so if there is something your looking for you can't find drop her a line, they have many many years experience and this guarantees you the very best quality and service at great value!

Postage is charged at reasonable rates and is always quick!

Highly recommended!

This review is for Valued Opinions, Dawes Point NSW

verified email - 29 Dec 2012

I have been a member of Valued Opinions for a good couple of years now and I've always found the website easy to navigate and surveys easy to complete. It is really the luck of the draw how much you earn and if you are accepted on surveys but you can expect to earn between 50 cents and $5 on most surveys... once you reach $20 you may claim a gift card for several outlets such as Coles, Dymocks, jbhifi etc...

In all the time I have been a member I think I have received my gift card with in the 28 days period perhaps 40% of the time. I find that I am constantly having to contact them when I have not received the gift card...

Now I live in Newcastle.. the cards are sent from Sydney it takes no more than 2 days worse case senario for anything to get here from Sydney so I do not understand why it takes more than 28 days to get the card... When inquiring about this I am always told "you must wait 28 days" regardless of what I have emailed them asking... I have asked directly why there as been a delay or when/as my card been sent only to be told it is on it's way... it is very frustrating.

I only cash in one gift card at a time as I find I am always waiting.. I claimed a card on the 8th Dec still not recieved it yet on the website "Star Member Rebecca" claims cards are received within 10 days of claiming them.. my experience no no they are not...

Quality.. No frill it's just another survey site.
Service.. Horrendous!! Like automated robots are the responses...
Value.. It's free it can't get better than that!
Overall.. Service is the let down!!
