What did the Consumer Fair visitors say?

We asked visitors to the first Jerey Consumer Fair for their feedback and comments. Here's what some of them said.

“Many congratulations for putting on such a very informative Consumer Fair – well done.”

 

“It was great to be able to give feedback to the Carbon Neutral Team and the Price Comparison team on their services and how appreciated they are.”

 

“Thanks to everyone for all their advice. Handy to know about electric boilers and how to avoid scams.”

 

“I have found a lot of interesting information, thank you. Prices.je was kindly set up on my phone.”

 

“It was very informative with a well-set-out display, thank you.”

 

“In all, the advice was generous and useful from all the stands I visited, and food for thought to be a better consumer.”

 

“Excellent opportunity to discuss concerns with positive advice received. Lovely team at Jersey Consumer Council and Trading Standards.”

 

“Good advice with a friendly attitude, many thanks.”

 

“Excellent. The people on the stands were very friendly, particularly as I am hard of hearing. I found it very interesting. Thank you, Citizens’ Advice, for bearing with me and for being very helpful.”

 

“Excellent information. Pensions advice and who to call.”

 

“Well done for organising.”

 

“A very useful Consumer Fair, with friendly, informative people at hand to give advice. I can see this event becoming a regular feature in the Island calendar. Well done.”

 

“Very valuable advice on how to shop around and the tricks supermarkets use and how to check what is public about one, re data protection.”

 

“Lots of information about essential topics. Very clear and helpful representatives. I have taken a lot on board and learnt a lot of valuable facts. Thank you.”

 

“Great idea to do this event rather than a black-tie posh party!”

    Storm Austen didn’t cause the kind of damage we saw when Storm Ciarán hit in 2023, but last week’s high winds and heavy rain still left their mark on some homes across the Island.

  • Sending parcels to Europe? New EU charges start this Sunday

    Islanders posting parcels to friends, family or customers in the EU are being reminded that further customs changes come into force on Sunday, 1 November, and they could mean higher costs for the person receiving the parcel. From that date, all goods sent into the EU will attract a new €2 Union Handling Fee. This is on top of the €3 customs duty fee that was introduced in July.

  • Storm-proof your home – and your insurance

    With autumn storms on the way, now is the time to get your home – and your paperwork – ready.

A little preparation now can save you a lot of stress, and money, later.
