Nobody's Perfect

You can't please everybody all of the time:

  • Even the most-loved firms, books and cars have their critics (see the panel) and it's the same with businesses.
  • Most firms will admit to the occasional mistake but they also face difficult customers, with unreasonable complaints that can't be resolved.
  • Referenceline holds each complaint (usually for 20 days) to give the firm a chance to respond.
  • Remarkably, only about 3% of firms ask us to stop publishing their feedback (see all or nothing), even if they don't agree with what the customer is saying.
  • We think it's very impressive that firms will allow us to do this and we hope you agree.

 

 

Don't expect firms to be 100% recommended or 10/10 for Satisfaction. Ask them for their side of the story about any forms with low ratings.

Favourites have their critics, too:

Indiana Jones

  • Interruptions in the soundtrack, perhaps as anti-piracy measure.
  • The plot: "… it's almost unfathomable that this hoary mishmash is the best that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg could cough up."

Harry Potter

  • The focus on wizardry, leading to the books being banned in some schools.
  • The choice of Daniel Radcliffe for the lead role of Harry in the films.

Lexus

  • Wind noise
  • Noisy brakes
  • Seat belts failing to retract
