I opened it and saw a tiny…read more'table' the size of a small domestic notice board slid in with some bubble wrap. honestly this thing would have fit in an extra large plastic envelope. only fairies would use this. when I stood it down o the floor it reached a little higher than my ankle I asked their so called customer service to send a return label and refund me when they got it back. surely if DNP deliver they'd have an agreement for returns? Nope. I have to pay either DPD or a post myself. I don't have an account w either so they would charge me the dimensional weight of the oversized box not actual weight. alternatively I can drive it to their store costing me fuel and parking not to mention a waste of time. I'll never buy anything with this company again.

This big blocky brute of a shopping centre dominates central Dun Laoghaire. In many ways, it feels…read morelike it was here first and everywhere else was just built around it, hanging off the fringes. Like a shanty town on the edge of some medieval castle. Still, it's a good shopping centre. One of the few shopping centers, in fact, that doesn't impose wrist slittingly mundane easy listening on you. This is something which makes the place tolerable, pleasant even, by comparison. Further allusions towards the civilised world include the welcome addition of a public house and, most important feature of any shopping centre, multiple exits.

First time buying anything in this shop but I had a Grandson in tow and I wanted some quick…read moreshopping for the beach - small child near water having fun - you know the story and a change of clothes may come in handy. In the childrens' section some of the clothes were well laid out but finding some shorts for a nipper was impossible...lots of girly stuff but I could not find shorts for the right age anywhere. I did ask a member of staff and was sort of pointed in the right direction but still could not find any. Anyway found a polo shirt (red), sun glasses (red) and a baseball cap (red) all at a reasonable price. Although I did try and persuade nipper to have a cowboy hat instead but as it had a bit of pink around the brim it was cast aside in disgust despite my pointing out we could change the pink to something which would be more 'tough guy'. Slightly thinking about getting cowboy hat removing the ribbon and putting other more guy stuff on it.

I admit to initially being wary of the cheap prices and potential copy-cat (i.e. poor, cheap replications of finer clothes from more renowned stores) approach resulting in clothes of a dodgy quality but Penneys avoids this stereotype admirably. Penneys stock is very resourceful, it was the perfect store when I required the appropriate kit for a Rubix Cube Party recently. The idea of the party was that everyone had to adorn clothes that feature each colour seen on a rubix cube. I was very relieved and happy to find all of the colours I required under one roof, each garment a different style to the next. So not only did I manage to get the diverse array of colours together but managed to pick up a miscellaneous range of styles of garments too, those being an orange hoodie, a red polo t-shirt, green leggings, yellow slip-on ballet shoes, blue ribbons and white-rimmed sunglasses - to underline the wide ranging stockpile. Of course, Penneys being Penneys, the total for all of this as well as a few pairs of good quality €2 socks was incredible value for money and from this visit I was massively encouraged to revisit very soon after.

Nothing wrong with the shopping centre itself however the manager of the shipping centre is a…read moredisgrace!! I overheard her giving out to a mother because they child was crying when getting his hair cut, in a KID FRIENDLY hairdressers! This behaviour is absolutely apwaling and despicable! A parent should be entitled to get their child's hair cut. It is a stressful time as it is for both parents and children, the last thing they need is a grumpy staff member to add to it. The manager of the shopping centre should feel ashamed and be held accountable for making customers feel this way. The staff member in Kiddies Kutz was brilliant so this is no reflection on her but the manager should be ashamed of herself! Wouldn't return.

Terrible customer service!…read more My mother purchased a Samsung fridge/freezer from Power City. Size is far too big for her kitchen. Although no seals have been opened or removed from the fridge, and she has the sales receipt, Power City are refusing to offer a refund/exchange as the unit has been removed from the box. Punch line....Power City took the box back with them after delivering the unit! Have been emailing back and forth the customer service desk, with absolutely no real customer service provided. Have even attempted to contact Samsung as the manufacturers to see if they could provide us an empty box....to which Power City replied our 'contact is with Power City and not Samsung'. In addition, Power City have not offered to check with their own suppliers for a box, or to check their own warehouse for said box seeing as their couriers took back the box!! Although I have very clearly explained the situation to Power City and that my mother is not in a financial position to be out of pocket €1929.95 with a fridge that is basically the size of her entire kitchen...Power City's response has consistently been a one liner email saying 'sorry we can't refund' Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from a reputable company...
