I hired Peter Chung through Service Seeking to build a shed and gate for a total contract price of $4,300. He immediately requested a $2,000 deposit.… Read more

After delivering a small amount of material, he vanished and has since refused to answer any calls or text messages.

This experience highlights a major failure in Service Seeking's platform. They claim to vet their tradespeople, but our experience shows they do not. There is no requirement for tradies to contribute to a dispute fund or provide any real security for customers. They simply list names and collect their fees, leaving customers to bear the full risk.

This is not an isolated incident for us. In the last four years using this platform, we have encountered numerous issues, including tradespeople who have stolen property from our home. Another installer refused to return to fix an 85-inch TV that fell down a week after installation; we were fortunate it wasn't destroyed. I urge everyone to be extremely cautious when hiring through Service Seeking.

A genuinely great experience with Shannon. He was thoroughly honest the whole way throughout our conversation. We spoke about my current cover which… Read more

had a basic hospital cover plus an extras that I had for the purpose of dental check ups etc. Shannon advised me the extras cover i had wasn't worth what I was paying and I was better paying out of pocket based on my usage. He was honest in saying that after taking out those extras, there was probably not a better hospital basics that my current policy. A quick check later and Shannon got me on a basics hospital plan with the same coverage which included a dental extras to cover the full treatment costs rather than a % rebate job. Better package than I had at a cheaper rate per fortnight. Super friendly and couldn't recommend enough.

Have been signed up for three months. Have received only 3 leads. One of the biggest selling points is their excellent refund policy. On my third… Read more

lead I quoted the client. I spent time both by email and two separate phone calls with the client going through her needs and the quote. She accepted. I sent the meeting invitation, for the on site visit and inspection. She accepted. The morning of the appointment she then sent a scathing email saying she DID NOT ACCEPT OUR QUOTE. I have paid for the lead. Don't have exact amount of the lead but in the vicinity of 54 credits. I reach out to the Support team on 15th March - and provide all the detailed information and correspondence with the client. On 26th March I followed up. I was sent a reply email addressed to a different person, (always makes you feel very under valued, when a customer service team can not take the 30 seconds to verify a Christian name). I was then told they had contacted 'the client' (the one who messed me around, wasted my time accepted, then cancelled) and are waiting on her reply. Even though I have sent all the detailed correspondence and dates. I receive a subsequent email, which feels like a delaying tactic, asking me which exact clauses of One Flare's terms and conditions and refund policy I am referring to. I have, just a few moments ago, no lie, received another email from customer service asking me to show proof of where the client cancelled. This info was provided on 15th March, 16th March, and now, for fun, for a third time on 26th March. Who is actually running this show? Cancelled my subscription and these folks can go eat a worm.

What a handy site. Was looking for a new mechanic and found this. I wasn't dissapointed :) I recommend a look at least.

deciptive, false information, misleading Zembl rep calls me and introduces there electricity rates which were good but could not believe. I asked the… Read more

rep are there any other charges eg metering charges he assured there will be no metering charges everthing will be in email.

a Few days later

get an email from Zembl asking to log in and set up a password for easy access to pay bill, view outstandings etc. Which I did, first thing I checked was the rates they are providing

BOOM

The rates are higher then what was discussed, called back and spoke to the rep he said he will look into it. Later get a response

"Looks like a rate structure change. I think this will actually be better for you. As you will benefit from the off-peak and shoulder through the day time."

Which was not the case.

I would not recommend this company at all. They lure you in with low rates but the rates change when you get the welcome pack.

he was very understanding and has great listening skills super skill!

Very professional, clear to understand and not pushy at all. thankyou

This site is a modern day version of providing slave labour in a first world country. Most tasks end up working out to be way below minimum wage of $25 per hour. It slugs the tasker 22% of the task fee, and charges the task poster 15%.

I had accidentally signed up for utilities and asked them to cancel it for me. I didnt even get to finish and the Filipino lady sounded annoyed and hung up. Very rude when they realise they're not getting money from me.

Needed a Sparkie for a small job at home, I had rung a couple of places with no luck. Placed the job on hipages/service.com.au and within 4 mins I… Read more

had the first quote and in total I had 21 quotes. Picked a sparkie, he did an excellent job, very happy with the whole process. Will be using services.com.au again. Highly recommended.

Excellent service. Provides plenty of great tradies, very quickly. Made the whole process so easy, simple and fast!

Maggie was friendly and informative, and followed up as planned.

All the solar providers that I chose through the Solar Choice website contacted me back to give accurate quotes. Two parts of the Solar Choice system… Read more

didn't work. At the beginning of the questions I selected the option to get a price for solar panels and battery. The system only quoted solar panels. Then later i uploaded my power bill to the system but this didn't go through to the business's providing quotes.

Very helpful with finding the right price and the the right gas and electricity company

From an initial phone call 2 months ago I enquired about getting Solar on in the future we have been absolutely happy. As the initial call was 2 -3 … Read more

months ago and we weren't in the position to start and we advised to do some research and wait. Researching many various services the information from Solar Qutes was superb. Then requesting services to getting contact from their recommendations was within 48hrs. And signing on the day from our appointment with their sales representative ( who was not pushy ) 10 out 10 Regards Phil and Jules

It does what it says on the tin. I supplied power use figures and got a ranked list of retail electricity plans.

Consultant was very good and helpful and found a better rate with anther provider

Brad helped me with my vehicle finance, he was absolutely awesome, had my accountant doing things quicker than I have ever been able to get him to do lol! Highly recommend!

efficiency and professionalism – As a customer who had difficulties with DHL, I decided to try Parcel2Courier to deliver a letter internationally and return the signed documents.… Read more

From the beginning, they clearly explained that they work with DHL to provide this service but handle all the arrangements on my behalf. I was relieved to let them take care of it. The letter was delivered right on time, and their service cost less than going directly through DHL. I’m extremely satisfied with their efficiency and professionalism. I will definitely use their service again and recommend it to my friends. Excellent job, guyys! Thank you for your outstanding work!

Definately a great asset to the company as an employee. I would recommend anyone to enquire pricing this way and you would be very lucky to get Stephen. Thank you so much for your patience and empathy.

We found Felix to be prompt and efficient the contractor we chose completed the job as quoted very pleased with the whole experience. We will be utilizing this service again.

this service in the future, I would then be in a better position to comment regarding a review.

post online, I tried to call back the rep that rung me but I only got a AI recording which couldn’t help me fix the mistake. For the next 4 hours I got messages and calls from contractors from the wrong state wasting everyone’s time..

WASTE OF MONEY! Totally unqualified leads which are sold to more than 5 professionals. Dishonest company! DO NOT deal with them.

Cold called by GoSwitch with the promise of lower fees. I was mislead and diceived into thinking theyd put me on a lower rate. When my bill arrived, no switching incentive and energy rates more than 5% higher than original. Crooks.

I called the hotline for assistance thinking it was AGL (apologies for making this honest mistake), Brad picked up and listened to my query. Mumbled… Read more

something I couldn’t quite hear and then said some number. I asked what he meant and he repeatedly mumbled the number again and hung up before I could say anything. That was just straight up rude and definitely won’t be using your services based on the unprofessionalism of your customer service staff. Hire better.

- a big shout out to the whole team there as well! They always do everything they can to help and I've never felt like just a number to them!

I’d strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere. Communication and administration were incredibly frustrating. I provided the same details… Read more

across five separate phone calls, and when I finally said I wouldn’t repeat everything again, my application was withdrawn minutes later. Despite having more than enough income for a relatively small finance amount, they repeatedly failed to record or locate the documents I sent. The whole process felt disorganised and unnecessarily difficult.

Verry good. Quick & easy to use – Site was simple to use and enabled me to do an objective comparison of energy providers. After I'd selected my preferred supplier Energy Watch arranged for changeover within 24 hours.
