Site for posting product reviews

Surely you should be contacting the company and let them offer replacements, even if you do want to leave a review somewhere?

People seem to think too much of these specific 'companies'. It's probably only a company as income. It's very likely to be a side hustle of someone buying hot water bottles at 20p-50p per unit and selling on with some cheap tat cover.

I don't think people realise how common this sort of trading is. If you see a website selling a very narrow range of products or focusing on a niche then it's probably someone's side hustle. I know lots of people who do this and yet, for some reason, people keep buying their tat!

Or, if the company has a twitter account, use that.

Trust Pilot is a best place imo. Twitter is solid too but obviously reviews/ratings don't get aggregated together and will soon get lost.

If they have a physical location than google reviews as well.

Ironically by posting the URL for the vendor, it's probably pushed it up a bit in Google's natural search algo. (Unless Google can tell that the words associated with it are negative).

Unless it's in a page that contains material or references Google considers unsavory, like Brazilian Fart Porn.

Buy covers somewhere else. Etsy, ebay, get cross stitching....

Definitely. As a small business owner myself, do give them the chance to put it right before going in all guns blazing. Things go wrong - maybe this is a bad batch - but the true measure of any company is how they well they put things right. If they try to give you the runaround, then go for your life.
Trustpilot seems a decent review site, and they do carry quite a few negative reviews so don't seem to cater just to the companies.

Is Trustpilot not a thing anymore?

I recently bought a couple of hot water bottles at £15 each from https://hotwaterbottleshop.co.uk/, and the fecking things leak significantly, even when I tighten the top as hard as possible.

I'm hesitant to send them back because I quite like the covers, but I am pretty pissed off by the obviously poor quality of the bottles themselves. This company, by its very name, "The Hot Water Bottle Shop", sell only hot water bottles, and they only have to get one thing right, hot water bottles that are leak-proof! But it seems the technical challenges of this are beyond them, despite the fact that rubber hot water bottles must have been around for a century at least and presumably not leaking for most of that time, certainly not when brand new!

So, to cut a long story short, are there customer review web sites where I can post a scathing review?

P.S. Anyone know an online shop where one can buy good quality hot water bottles?
