I can not fault the service provided by Chris. His workmanship is amazing, I have very high expectations, yet Chris delivered a standard beyond what I imagined was possible. I have reccomended to my family and friends. Thank you for your excellence and experience Chris.

Friendly and professional service. Will recommend.

Very friendly service and the best range of ocean and airliners in the country.

Interesting place with friendly helpful staff

Wasn’t open

Great coins

My partners mum bought me a Groupon voucher for my birthday I was very nervous and I hate going to new places but the girls there put me at such ease and I couldn't off been more comfortable with the service i recived. I had the hot stone massage (I have never had this before) and I don't regret it I was so relaxed and comftable. I will definitely be returning and will recommend to family and friends. Thankyou girls for putting me at ease and giving me such an amazing first impression.

Excellent customer service nice and professional definitely recommend and will be coming back !!

Never disappointed! Strongly recommended!

Fantastic staff and service. I'd recommend anyone to go there

Very happy with the hair cut and for a really good price! Will definitely be back.

Staff are friendly, polite and always extra helpful. The goods and produce are always excellent value for money. Thank you for great service Waitrose second to none.

Love this store. Best coffee in town and THE BOOKS, LOVELY, LOVELY BOOKS. If it's not in stock they'll get it for you very quickly. Good children's section. Helpful friendly staff.

A good stationery and book shop with a nice selection of cards

A delightful retail establishment. They processed an exchange quickly and efficiently with no problems after 5 months. Highly recommended.

Homely, friendly and knowledgeable. A coop bookshop offering a lot more than just books.

Great little independent bookshop. Good for kids too.

Great local car accessory store ,always helpful for what ever I have needed and always has something to get you out of trouble

Excellent knowledge, always got time for you. My first port of call EVERY time - highly recommend 👍🏼

I always get served quickly and efficiently here 😊😊😊😊

All the car parts you need

I bought my Wavetrac differential on October 2015 and got it fitted right away. Once I got my car out for a test ride, I use my car mainly for back roads and fast "canyon carving", I wasn't sure what to expect. All I said was "Oh my god"! It's like I had a totally different car! Superb handling and the differential feels awesome. It's not snappy or violent, you can feel the lock and suddenly you have all the grip in the world, provided the road is of somewhat good condition and not slippery as hell, and the car just pulls itself on the inside of the corner and follows the line you want. Just perfect. I think this is by far the best purchase I have done for my car. I LOVE IT. It's almost 2 years now and I had no problems at all. Worth every penny.

Had a Wavetrac in my MK5 Golf, Alpina B10 and Porsche Cayman S. Just about to fit one to my BMW M3 E92 and will more than likely continue to fit one to every one of my cars. Track day performance is incredible, especially in the wet or on tight tracks. Excellent on my daily Alpina too, rain, ice and snow - it's an all weather machine despite being an automatic BMW!

Amazing place! Everyone is really friendly and they get the job done so quickly... 100% great work!

Hugely helpful with my car audio issues and went to no end help me out.

I really don't know who the malicious individuals are writing the previous reviews but I can only speak from my own experience dealing with this Cobra Security. Cobra have undertaken several different aspects of security work for my company. They have provided security guards on short term contracts of normally 6-9 months. Their guards are always polite, very professional in the way they behave and their uniforms are always presentable. They also undertake security patrols on a few premises we own in vulnerable locations. They use a very good software reporting system which enables me to view exact times of any visits or response made. They always provide professional and clearly written reports. I particularly like the fact they use guard dogs with their patrol drivers. I have not found any other company locally who actually does this, despite their claims to the contrary. I have been so impressed with this company that they also now hold keys to my private residence which has proven very useful whilst I am away either on business or holiday. Keep up the good work Cobra!

Cobra provided a mobile response and site alarm system. Absolutely brilliant! Very efficient mobile units with excellent dogs. Instant results and solved my issues. Dont know what id do without them. Highly recommended!

Fantastic quick service, very friendly staff and reasonable prices. Autotechnix is an excellent company to work with. Thank you for your professionalism and hard work. Pro Cars Southampton

Excellent service got me back on the road after my immobiliser started playing up, now I've got central locking back too and all for £66. Very happy customer. Thank you 👍

Top notch sound specialists, friendly staff who really know their trade. I bought a set of Cambridge Audio SX60 stereo speakers, had the chance to do a full demo in store, great for the price. Also bought an Audio Technica AT-LP5 turntable, which wasn't up to scratch for my needs, which I was able to refund hassle free a few days later after leaving a less than positive review on their website and being contacted directly by their customer services to discuss my options, how's that for going above and beyond? I'd go back in future for sure, planning to actually. Can't say enough nice things about the place!

You guys are awesome. My boyfriend is really pleased you took the time to help him set up his amp. Friendly and reliable service from you guys! Top notch! Definitely would recommend to friends and anybody else 😊

Very kind and helpful staff. No-nonsense store with quality equipment, good advice and easy to deal with, without the superfluous babbling of other competitors. I made a purchase I'm very happy with and would shop there again.

Very good advice on working through the modern world of hi fi with streaming, DAC and FLAC etc.

Always do their absolute best to help you! Terry just rebuilt my bike in a day after my back wheel and everything attached to it was stolen

Bloke on the cycle counter called Terry really knows his stuff very helpful and friendly they don't hold a lot of stock in store these days so most probably have to order online for collection if it's not basic stuff your after, you can also wheel your bike into the store which is a plus as the bike hoops outside are those stupid spiral things that make it difficult to lock both wheel up to.

I've bought two cars from this garage within the last 3 years. The first I was able to part ex my vehicle for a really good price and picked up a cracking Honda Civic. To this day (touch wood) we've had no issues with it at all. Within the last year, I returned to Paynes to buy myself a cheap run around and received the same stellar service. Found a car and was able to get a decent deal with no issues or fuss. Highly recommend Paynes to anyone looking for an affordable second hand car. Scott is a great guy and really does all he can to help. I'll be returning in a few years (maybe sooner) to upgrade my civic!

Bought an Astra back in February. Love the car but experienced a fault almost straight away. I live quite far away from this garage and they sorted the fault out for me no problems. 5 months later unfortunately the head gasket decided to go. They were fair and professional and fixed the problem without any arguments. When I was without my car they loaned me a vehicle to use whilst mine was being fixed. Great customer service throughout and now very happy with the car. Would use again. Have had bad experiences with used car garages before but would class these guys as one of the best.

I have been a customer for about 6 years now and I always find the service they provide to be excellent. The staff are attentive and friendly, services are never pushed as the staff always give full explanations and options. I've never had to have any work 'redone' as the quality has always been good. I particularly like the new feature video where the mechanic talks you through the checks on your car and points out any issues. I will continue to use them in the future.

On Monday the air conditioning went on my car. At 2pm I contacted Doves and got it booked in for the following morning at 8am. By 11am that morning I had my car back with a new heater unit and control unit. They really were fantastic. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Had the opportunity to sit down with Dave and Lee today. What a wonderful down to earth team. They are honest and genuinely wanted the best outcome for me. They care. And it’s what makes the biggest difference as I was truly looked after from beginning to end. This customer service has rubbed off on the rest of the staff. Fantastic people

Excellent service. Got picked up at the airport as arranged. The car was presented ready to drive away in perfect condition. The car was exactly what I wanted and at the right price. Would certainly recommend Hollybrook Car Centre and I'm from Belfast ! John Dalton

Convenient location and price is always reasonable but sometimes queuing to get in to the station can be dangerous as it backs up onto the main road.

All been done out and looking good well stocked shop

Great place great stuff and food and petrol

Great helpful workers happy to help

Best selection for interesting drinks, could do with better ice cream section, the jet wash is good stuff

Really nice people and quick the fuel last long in my car price changes fast sometimes.

Good customer service especially in this amazing weather

Standard ,small car paking area,now closed for upgrade

Fuel is ok. Pumps can be a but awkwardly positioned. Jetwash is great no complaints. Staff are ok, helpfull and give you good advice. They dont try to sell you more than you need.

Great range of all grocery , wines and beers,chocolate,frozen food inside and coffee as well

Great place

First class service from Hampshire motorcycle centre. The guys there were very friendly and professional. Attended to my issue really quickly. Kept me well updated throughout and carried out the work very swiftly. Just got my bike back and it looks impeccable-No exaggeration to say like it was brand new. They have a stunning selection of bikes and gear as well. Highly recommend them. I will be returning for my annual servicing. Both the guys there were great. Thank you so much @HMC

I commissioned a custom through Rob. I provided the bike, a 1978 Z400 and Rob did the rest. Anyone who has frequented the shop in the past few years will have seen the bike, the red Z400 cafe racer. The bike went from and ugly duckling to a thing of beauty at the hands of RH Customs. Nothing on the Z was left as was. She has been reworked down to the the smallest bolt and tiniest detail. I was missing a few items in order to ride the bike to its new home in Norway 1200 miles away. Helmet, jacket, gloves, trousers, boots and, oh yes a lock! I went to the front of the shop and asked Gary for help, everything I needed was provided, even when I was being difficult about a lid, Gary went to the store room and came back with a carbon fiber Roof lid that was perfect for me. The bike drew a lot of attention whilst traveling through Europe. Everyone commented on the uniqueness and tidiness of the little racer. A few said it looked uncomfortable. I can say that after each 10 to 12 hour day of riding I was no worse for wear and woke up every day with a smile on my face knowing I had a day of riding the z racer ahead of me. Thanks to the whole team at HMC for an amazing service, on time delivery and not least of all for staying well within my wife's budget.

If a bike goes wrong it can kill you. That's why I always bring my bike to Double Take. At least that way if I bin it I know it was me and not the bike. Always happy with the workmanship. Only people I let touch my bike apart from the wife, and she better not touch it for too long or I cracking open a can of Stella and putting a vest on. Solid lads.

It was the first time I had DTM work on my bike, which looks exactly like the one in the photo, a Suzuki GSXR 750 XK5. It's a rare bike with only about 90 in the country so it needs expert care. I was greeted with courtesy and respect by friendly helpful staff and a major service plus changing the chain and sprockets arranged for three weeks time. They are a busy outfit with lots of work which tells you something about their quality and popularity: bikers are fussy about these things. Being SORN they collected the bike and four hours later the bike was done and road tested. This is excellent customer service and fine workmanship. One or two small wrinkles were sorted without charge, thank you, and I was given a discount on the delivery charges, thank you again. With really knowledgeable staff and great service, you get back a bike in tip-top condition, so why go anywhere else? Highly recommended: and I have very high standards which were met in full. Lastly, for that quality you pay an awful lot less than many other places, very very reasonable charges.Thanks guys, appreciated.

Friendly, helpful staff, who seem to know their products very well (which makes a change from some places) and also didn't just try and make me buy the most expensive kit! Stock-wise they seem to have a very nice selection of products, including clothing, helmets, bags, chains and bike covers. Also VERY impressed that they have a dedicated motorcycle parking bay right out front of the shop. Oh, and they do 0% finance on more expensive purchases. Didn't buy anything this time (not quite payday yet!) but will certainly return in the future and buy some gear.

Excellent staff very helpful and go beyond. Lots of gear really a one stop shop for getting all your bike gear. Good parking behind shop.

I donated some crystal glasses, porcelain plates and women tops as this is a beautiful shop, I found 4 lovely items if clothing which were in good condition and sales help others including children, the staff are a friendly bunch

Always helpful and friendly staff with a varied book section

While my old review was 5 stars, I'm downgrading it for a number if reasons. The shop has really gone down market - the quality of the records has dropped dramatically as has the number of releases that are of any desire, leaving only tat. A shame, but market forces are such that vinyl has become too in demand for a charity shop to be stocked properly

Good selection of CD all on sale for a very good cause.

Often good furniture in this shop. Prices fairly reasonable. Often find some prices are little to high compared with other similar shops. Parking is tight, particularly with a can. Worth a visit.

I have picked a few really nice furniture bargains here over the past few years. Always worth a browse.

Absolutely Fantastic. Great staff, very respectful, curtious, friendly, decent staff. Nice atmosphere. Well heated in winter and nice and cool in the summer. Good array of moisturizers and creams. I Highly recommend going to this chemist either for prescription or over the counter medication. My rating is 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

Ask staff a question and they will help you where possible and if they're not sure of the answer they will ask the boss for further assistance. Mr Roy seems to know all of his customers well and politely greets them by name. This pharmacy has improved a lot over the last few months. I prefer to use Mr Roys pharmacy over other local pharmacies.

Fantastic opening times, open early until late on Satirdays AND Sundays, friendly staff....what more do you need, folks?! The senior pharmacist even saved me nearly £5 yesterday by suggesting I used generic brands of painkiller and mouthwash, instead of the more expensive 'labeled' brands. The ingredients on the products I purchased were literally exactly the same as the branded goods! There is plenty of free parking too. I have seen some negative reviews here, which surprises me a little. I have neve experienced the staff being rude or unhelpful. I suppose it's like anything in life...if you are rude to the staff in the pharmacy, then they may bite back a little. I would. So show them some respect and a little patience, and they will treat you very well and professionally.

Amazing staff. Made to feel welcome from the start. Went to the podiatry dept and was told all options clearly and they made me feel so comfortable and aware of everything they were doing. Thank you to all concerned 😀

I've never had any problems picking up my prescriptions from here. I'm always helped by the same person behind the counter (Dominic?) and he is always so friendly which makes this place very approachable.

Quite a good pharmacy, well stocked with experienced and friendly staff who go out of their way to help, but parking is very limited. My biggest complaint is actually with other customers, who seem to think that the double yellow lines outside don't apply to them. There is a good chance that if you do manage to park on the forecourt to this pharmacy, you will be blocked in...

Matalan a high street wonder. Cotton shirts at affordable prices, pleasure to wear and wash well. I love the range of goods. Had much fun biding up a birthday mountain for my daughter. Will return and so accessible from the station when passing through en route to London or Bournemouth. Keep up the great work. Retailer of the year in my book.

We bought a few items for our holiday and a couple of causal trousers for my husband, very good quality and reasonable prices. Excellent service, we didn't time in the queue, very friendly and helpful staff. Wheelchair accessible entrance and parking very close in front of the shop. Massive spacious airy discount, well stocked retailer offering classic and modern clothing and accessories for all ages including homewares. 10/10

Friendly, helpful staff who were very supportive when my daughter screamed her head off! Baby changing facilities available. At the more expensive end of baby products but a good range, free parking and lots of space for pushchairs.

We buy all our stuff there. Love it

Wide range of children's clothes, bedding, toys, car seats, prams and everything you would need. There's also a good selection of maternity wear ! Handy they have a Clarks in store. Staff are very helpful.

Everything for babies and tots. Great facilities and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Nice shop with very helpful staff. Sourced a jacket for me & am very pleased with the price too. All round service was fantastic. Thanks. Scott

I haven't actually bought anything from here because I'm poor but staff are friendly enough and seemed to know about materials and brands. They should do more deals and clearance sales but the stuff is quite nice so people will buy from there and be content

Pricey store, but always great selection in extensive range of sizes. Great shame the stores are closing down very shortly.

Great shop shame it's about to close, all that customer care will be lost!!

Good to shop and browse.

Cute checkout guy - your 19 go out and party! Life is way too short.

Fab shop with lots of variety

Love this shop. great clothes. lovely staff.

Love!

Its okay, mens section is a bit of a let down. If you find yourself shopping with someone (Gf) and you get bored there are seats in the back by the changing room.

Kind of awkward to go in there as it's not very friendly however the clothes are very nice and good quality

Friendly and effecient IT help . Polite staff who know what they are doing.

I have used Home Computer Help several times in the past and I never been disappointed. Today I had a home visit from Alex to my home address desk top with a list of questions and issues that I wanted to resolve. A very productive one hour visit and extremely effective regarding resolving all my issues. A customer does not have to be a computer expert but it makes all the difference if one comes to your home in a timely manner. Extremely cost effective and very professional 5 star treatment Alex Regards Terry (Hedge End)

Great department, great university, really. Awesome place to study

GREAT WORK DONE HERE very helpful and plenty of product knowledge to help you- AUSTIN top of his game !!

Excellent especially the young lady behind the counter having her porridge while she was working thanks dave

Amazing

Friendly service and reasonable fees too. Always ready to help. By appointment only.

1st class friendly, efficient and professional service with equally excellent online back-up used to resolve a couple of unforseen niggles. Great job and highly recommended.

Awesome Motion systems - great product

I cannot recommend this IT company enough. They have supported us through all our changes and I always feel they care about us. This is one company you feel safe with, and always have your back. Each IT support person is always amazingly helpful!

Amazing service

A lovely place to get some beautiful items. Very help staff and not badly priced. I spent £100 easy in there and came away with so much.

Best souvenir shop around.

It's a very good place and it is very cheap I bought a huge card there for only 25p

Cheap prices but quite slow

Good range of cards

Love this shop! Very conveniently placed in the city centre. It's a reasonable sized shop with a good mix of craft stuff, books, kids books and crafty items. Don't forget the kids toys, stationery, gifts oh and they now do birthday cards! There isn't a lot you can't get, no clothes or shoes! Good for click and collect too.

Lots of interesting good priced things to buy here. Arts and crafts books storage boxes and so 9n

Here you can find anything you need! Crafts, DiY, all the Party staff, soooo much more! Love it, and very cheap prices!

Really recommend Pete at make it magic for fireworks. He was so helpful and and took the time to show us videos to pick exactly what we wanted. Thank you

I'm not gonna lie its a small place but you can get pretty much wot ever you need at a very cheap price

Peter and his team are mega helpful types — gave us loads of time to try out the bikes we were interested in and ask questions, offered tonnes of help with accessories and finance options, and even helped us stack our new bikes, Tetris style, into our slightly too-small car! Thanks guys, great customer service 👍🏻

These guys saved the day after a broken rear mech whilst on the south downs way. Took a piece off their last show bike in order to help me out. Super friendly, happy atmosphere.. Highly recommend.

As a total amateur road bike owner who commutes every day I've had my fair share of punctures over the last few years and this morning I turned up on their doorstep 10 minutes before they were due to open, very late for lectures... Manager let me in and replaced it himself - great customer service!

Very good service, experience staff , reasonable prices best bicycle shop in the area

Absolutely top class service . Arrived here on a Saturday morning at opening time 9.am with rear wheel with one broken spoke. As I was desperate I asked if it would be possible to get repair done on the same day? They said they would do their best and took my phone number and said they would give me a call later. At 11.20 they phoned to tell me that repair was done and wheel was ready to pick up. This must be the best cycle shop in Southampton hands down,fantastic customer service with knowledgeable staff and very competent mechanics. Have recommended this shop to friends and will definitely use them again without hesitation. If I could give them 6 stars I would.

Had Gary do my bike fit the other day; made to feel very welcome by all the staff members. Attention to detail was brilliant, I left with a perfectly fitted bike and a load of useful knowledge Gary passed on to help me out going forward. Two rides since, and setting pb’s without 100% efforts, bike handles brilliantly and gets the power down so easily. Would recommend anyone who hasn’t had a bike fit before to get Gary to do one, it’s made a bigger improvement to my riding than anything else has so far!

Have shopped at Homebase store for years now but was very disappointed as my husband's disability means he is in a wheelchair. Ours has a flat tyre so we asked if we could borrow the stores but there one was broken and unavailable. Surely they should have more than one wheelchair. So we went round with our punctured tyre. The lift upstairs for disabled people was difficult for my husband to get out of . The door wouldn't open for him. I had gone up the stairs to meet him and had to get him out from the outside. This store needs to look at making life easier for disabled customers as well as the fabled.

Amazing help and service by assistant Dan - Thank you so much. There's no way I would have survived without him today - I think he needs a bonus. 😀

Does a particularly good line in supplying and cutting foam. Generally, low prices and excellent service.

Fantastic range of hardware products, friendly knowledgeable staff 😎😎

Very helpful staff, friendly and great prices. Amazing range for a small shop.

Great store and has a bit of everything! Staff are friendly and helpful.

Good service from the counter staff & delivery person. Good knowledge of tools. Reasonable prices has well.

Excellent hire shop

Trade tool hire counter. You can only rent with an account here they do not sell tools. If you use speedy, it's the same as all the rest

It is a very good place to work at

Quick...

Excellent service! This company is exceptional and wish they were based in Cardiff!

Good service

We love this store, it always has such a great selection of things to buy. It's the best charity shop in Southampton, and we always make time to go down there when we visit the city. The staff and volunteers are always so pleased to see us and they're so friendly. I'm particularly pleased with my recent purchase, a pair of boots, wasn't sure if they'd match my outfit. I spoke with the Manager, she said I could return them with tags and receipts if needed but didn't need to because they were perfect fit and they matched my suit. Great advice and help, thank-you Southampton BHF!

This charity shop has a wide range of furniture that is in a good condition. This includes cupboards, sofas, tables etc. The shop is a little crowded which makes it slightly difficult to navigate. There is a cheap car park just around the corner which makes it easy to access.

Needed special gel battery for Audi A4 found and delivered the same day. Excellent service and friendly man.

Thank you for the lovely flowers sent to our poorly friend yesterday and delivered earlier than I thought so thank you very much and will use you again Jaqui Peters

I have found the staff very accomodating , offering helpful suggestions if you arnt sure about certain flowers or plants, which I have always found fresh and healthy, so last a long time.

Jackies service is second to none. Made my wedding anniversary. Delivered on time in perfect order. Advised going on cruise and she made sure I got the right type of packaging. Lasted a full two weeks and still in pretty good condition. Thank you Jackie. Please everyone to patron her outlet for flowers. Worth 10/10 and ten stars. Exceptional service and beautiful flowers.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful flowers you have done for my mums 60th birthday they are perfect!!

Best flowers I've ever had. Very helpful lady

Ordered flowers for my lovely mother in law. They were beautifully presented with a real wow factor. Delivery can only be described as first class. I will definitely be using ABC Flowers and Balloons in the future!

I love this place. Living close to the bridge so I often find myself buying vegetables, pickled stuff and dairy products here. Staff are friendly and speak english quite good. The shop itself isn't big but still there's a wide selection of everything they have.

Great service, especially Renata and wide range of Polish food.

Great shop. Not many like this but lucky to have one in Southampton not only does it sell completely vegan products but it serves fresh vegan lunch and cakes bits from there I store deli which are always delicious. The refill bins are great value for money and I love having that option and everything usually tastes fresh and yummy. Some shelf products are expensive but that’s usually as they are imported but it’s nice to have the option to try all these new things when usually you wouldn’t get the option. Beauty and medicine products are expensive but that just reflects on the companies that put all the extra effort in to being vegan, organic, eco friendly and all that :)

This shop is amazing! I come here to get the granola which is cheaper than it is in the shops. I love that they have plastic free cucumber and lettuce! We got the lettuce over a week ago and it’s still fresh and crispy. I will definitely be coming here to buy my cucumber and lettuce, only place near me that sells it without packaging. I also had one of their vegan cupcakes and it’s the best cupcake I’ve ever had!! They also do organic oranges which make a mega tasty glass of juice!

I think the Vitamin shop is the best shop in Southampton if you need a good protein or any other products, and they give you the best advice to get your goals as well.

If you're needing heath and body building supplements and advice, there's no better place than this store. Recommended to anyone and everyone. You won't be dissatisfied. The people here are very knowledgeable about the industry and provide you a bespoke service to tailor to your nutrition needs. 10/10.

Very helpful staff in assisting what I was looking for and a friendly atmosphere too.

Very helpful and polite staff,well done 😃.

Popped in here today to grab some nutes. Chap was happy to help and exchange advice. Didn't try to push any one brand on us like many do as there buddies with the supplier. Always nice to find a place where you can tell there not just there for profit but because they love the joys of growing.

This is the best place to go

Purchased a bracelet but realised when I got home one of the stones either wasn't set properly or was cloudy but it was so small it was hard to tell, so I took it back to EJ and told them I thought it was either cloudy or misplaced and I was told "It wouldn't be cloudy because they're not real diamonds", this is not true because cubic zirconia can get cloudy, if anything, it's more likely to get cloudy over real diamonds. Also, I knew they werent real diamonds when I purchased the item hence I referred to them as stones. She agreed it wasn't set properly and ordered a replacement, but they should know better,

I have used Ernest Jones Southampton a few times now and every time they have been extremely professional and helpful. They have a great range of products in stock. The watch I wanted wasn’t in stock however they ordered it in and it was delivered very quickly. Sophie who dealt with my purchase was very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended! Thank you.

Brilliant service from Darren the asst manager today who helped us for over 30 mins choosing an eternity ring, thankyou for your help and advice 🤗

Absolutely brilliant customer service from a store worker called Darrel. Clearly a highly self motivated worker with a high level of professionalism. He made no assumptions and is generally interested in ensuring the customer is fully satisfied.

Smart looking store within the West Quay shopping complex. Popped in to have a chat about the new Tudor watch range. I was warmly greeted and had a great chat with one of the sales guys. Tried on a number of watches which helped me understand the brand a little better. Very tempted. Great experience.

Great range of watches and jewellery with very helpful and friendly staff. More high end than your average jeweler but well worth a visit

Staff member called Chris helped me find a good pair of walking boots that fit properly for the long distance walk I am doing. He answered all of my questions and even taught me a couple of different ways to lace up my boots. Thank you!

Met a man called Michael, originally when I came in with my family, we only knew we wanted to try camping, so we were really lost, but Michael came up to us upon entry, greeted us all, asked how he could help and whisked us right to where we needed to go! He had an amazing knowledge of what everyone needed and wanted, and was even able to entertain the children for a few minuets while I discussed with the misses! Absolutely amazing customer service, will be coming back.

I like it that you can walk in and browse in peace. I bought some trainers for only £30 and they are x1000 better than the plastic sports soccer sell. Want one of them nice coats next. Thanks.

Well worth a visit if you want out door gear

Helpful staff. Had to change a damaged tent. No quibbles

Blacks Southampton simply three stars staff members don't seem to be very enthusiastic in their jobs never look really happy either it has an ok selection of clothing footwear and other camping accessories when a company takes on youngsters and nothing against youngsters either they need to be training them so they understand what the customers need the times I have walked in there and I've no idea if it's a manager or what not quite sure if you can sell a pair of these shoes to me this is a manager saying this to a person who wants a job if you can sell me a pair of these shoes tell me what's good about them we will take you on don't get me wrong everybody deserves a fair chance in this day and age but come on the times I have been in there some staff members haven't got a clue about products which is a shame I've gone in there plenty of times I'm very much an outdoorsy person I love to go wild camping so therefore a lightweight tent helps when you say to them between 1 and a half kilos to two and a half kilo tent it shouldn't be too hard but when they bring down a 4 kilo tent and I literally just wanted to bang my head on the wall and the excuse was this is the lightest tent I could find so keeping my cool anyway as I work in the same industry I politely declined this tent and went elsewhere.

Pretty standard to most of the Pets at Home chain. Wide selection of food, toys, bedding and accessories for most pets. Have also started stocking more in the way of reptiles as well. The only let down is that there is never enough people on the tills and when it is busy the person at the tills rings a bell but often it's ages before anyone arrives. There seems to be no rush to help serve, nor is anyone checking on the tills to see if its getting busy before the need to ring the bell arises. Sometimes I spend more time waiting in line than I did looking for my items. Staff are friendly but just need to be a little more aware of the customers and tills.

A great store where you can buy pretty much anything you need for your pets. Staff are always really helpful and friendly too.

Great staff always give you one on one service, nice selection of corals and marine fish, have been in a few times and will continue to come back. Worth the drive from where we live (60 mile return!)

Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful always going above and beyond for all there customers. Go innovative!

Really good comprehensive range of stock for all manner of sports and leisure activities. If you are a brand-slave and won't wear anything unless it's got your beloved three stripes or whatever ... forget it. But if you are a person who wants clothing, footwear, equipment that is well-designed and well-made at very decent prices, then go to Decathlon. Excellent enthusiastic staff who are happy to give advice and clearly interested in the stuff they're selling.

Drove all the way from poole decathlon after a bad customer experience with the manager . Spent my money here , well worth the long drive . The manager in poole needs a heads up on how to treat customers ! All staff great as usual 👍

Nice staff and alot of choices to choose from. They sell loads of brands from Nike to lionsdale. This is a great place to get your sports gear and shoes. They have a machine that finds the correct exact shoe size for your feet and it's just amazing.

great products always new gear, poor customer service, 0% communication between staff, waited 45 minuets to get a pair of shoes brought down to only find they had been sat behind me for 30 minuets.

A lot better then the old one. It's so tidy now and so easy to find what your looking for... Big improvement

Pretty good sports shop, reasonable range of stuff. Lacklustre service.

Just had a fantastic experience with Office Outlet today - it’s how customer service should be! Peter the manager is fantastic - professional, friendly, accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for him. I have bought a great office desk set - good quality German engineered functional desk... having searched for a while, I feel this is the best I could have bought anywhere and via any medium (internet etc). Thanks Peter - pleasure to meet you and I will be back because I want to support you and the store. Best wishes Iain

A fantastic store with very helpful staff. Whether you are after office supplies or the copy and print centre, this store will help you in abundance. Located where the old staples store was, head on down and see what we they can do for you!

Absolutley fantastic company / service. So glad I found it and I probably won't ever go anywhere else now.

I have used various office supply companies and A&A are by far the best, always competitive on price but above price is the service, i have recently used them to supply office furniture after refurbishing one of our offices, the furniture was of a very high quality and Rees the sales guy even put it together for us.

The staff member who helped me sort out a delivered order and then replace a faulty item could not have been more helpful. She had a great professional and personable manner and delivered all around great customer service. I'm now the very happy owner of a shredder!

Helpful staff and a post office.

If you want a new piece of electrical furniture for your house then go here, but just keep in mind that you will have to pay extra for the privelige and I don't mean a couple of quid I mean vast amounts of Dosh. I would rather recommend that you just put a tenner a week by and when you have enough buy the item from somewhere like Curry's or Argos. Less debt and less expense. My rating for bright house is 4 stars out of 5 as this represents an ideal solution for the people with a low income. Thanks for reading my review. Jon.

It is what it is, staff who offer good customer service to people who normally can't afford the product at full price, why four stars, its the interest payment amounts if they were lowered it would be five stars

5 stars all for Isobel on the TV section in Hedge End. Absolutely brilliant, she was young but came across very mature. An extremely knowledgable girl with great customer service skills and I’m sure she has a bright future ahead of her! An asset to your company!!! She managed to sell us a much more expensive television than we were orginally looking at without being pushy at all.

Hi we bought a washing machine, very friendly and helpful staff, good selection of stock, plenty of parking, x

The reason for me being there was because I had bought fit bits for both me and the good lady. As we are at an age that doesn't get much exercise it seemed a good idea. I did however have to buy another phone as you can't put 2 fit bits on 1 phone. The Salesman there was 'Absolutely Brilliant". He showed me and helped to connect all items together. In some strange way he has helped us to get more mobile than we have been for quite a while. Given us a new lease of life you could say. THANK YOU John Lewis.

This was a big John Lewis & they had a good selection of items. The technology department had so much cool stuff (I love tech & gadgets etc.) but I have been told that other stores have more headphones on display then they did here. As it's been so hot recently we picked up a fan & looked at the West Elm furniture also. They even had a cafe right at the top which is always useful. Great store & friendly/helpful members of staff.

Lissy did my hair for my wedding along with my 3 bridesmaids and mother. She did a fantastic job and I had exactly the look I wanted. Our hair all looked great all day and I would recommend her services highly. Thanks Lissy :)

Melissa is amazing, really friendly and is so easy to work with. She did my ombre in time for my holiday and it came out lovely! I've found that hairdressers in the past don't always get my cut right and don't like to talk but Melissa has always been flawless in her work and very talkative! Will be seeing her exclusively from now on! Thanks!

Hampshires premier hog roast company!

So glad I found "Cake workshop" for my son’s first birthday cake. Not only was the cake exactly what I wanted - simple, elegant, delicious, good value - working with Wendy was great. She was always very responsive and just knows what she's doing! All my guests LOVED the cake, both in design and flavor. Definitely recommend. Thank you!

Stakataka Pokemon cake is what my boy wanted. He said it looks like the real Pokemon and couldn't tell the difference! Tasted nice too.

Super helpful and friendly staff everytime I've been here. I cannot fault their service!

Collecting campers I tried all sorts on offer. Nobody there but Harry was an excellent guide.

Popped in last night bought lovely bottle of wine and page 24 beers which were excellent but can’t buy that beer anywhere live in redditch any ideas

It's my regular haunt for wine and whisky. Huge selection, some excellent priced offers always available. Best of all a very down to earth and knowledgeable owner.

Great value products, if you want to buy in larger quantities. Special offers can be very good, and sell out fast. Expensive foods like meat are especially good value and offer a huge cost saving versus smaller quantities in the supermarkets. Just make sure you have a big car and a bigger freezer to store it all.

On arrival everyone gets a large parking space, bigger than the parent/child or disabled spaces at most shops. There are always plenty super large trollies more akin to a DIY store than a supermarket. All shoppers are members but you pay of your membership fee pretty quickly with the money you can save. There are always lots of deals and goods are good quality. Meat, fish, bread, cheese etc is cheap and good qaulity, as are most foods. In the booze section there are always one or two deals but you have to know what competitors are charging in this section if you want to save money. The staff are incredibly helpful and the canteen is very good value.
