This shop gets really busy but there's lots of tills and staff to deal with it. It's in West Gate so there's a nice big car park attached, that's fairly cheap and is pay & display.

I have bought a lot of home ware from here such as prints for my living room, cushions and also bed spreads. The price is so cheap and I have never had any issues with the quality. What is even better now is that you can peruse all their stock on line and they deliver in store for you. This is located on the East Gate at Basildon and the car park is right next to it. Be warned it fills up quickly so try to avoid peak times on Saturdays.

Whilst the shop is large there are too many displays, which often are too close together to walk through and there is ALWAYS clothes on the floor everywhere. IF you can't find what you want on the shelves have a look on the floor. The staff do run round trying to sort this out but they simply can't keep up. If you don't like having to fight your way to a shelf avoid this shop on a Saturday it gets manic!

Obviously with this chain of stores it is always extremely busy but one thing I will say is that they always have plenty of staff manning the tills so that the queues move quickly. The store has more of a structure now but I would still advise to make this the first stop on your shop as by the end of the day half the stock is on the floor. The majority of the staff are school kids and are not the most friendly or helpful but you have to expect that the service won't be amazing as this is one of the more affordable stores. Always a good bargain to be had and they always have out a variety of sizes.

This shoe shop is tucked away down a lane just off the High St opposite Oxfam. I bought my son a…read morepair of shoes and after a week he started complaining they were hurting and his toe was very near the edge. I went back to the shop and they were incredibly helpful giving me a new pair in a larger size. The selection of children's shoes is great, everything from Lelly Kelly to Startrite school shoes. The shop is roomy, so the children get to do a catwalk style check in the mirror. Absolutely lovely shoes and the staff couldn't be nicer. I'm always keen to recommend good service and you get it here.

Unfortunately having used this shoe shop on many occasions over the years we had the unenviable…read moretask of having to return a pair of sandles purchased in June. They were very pretty and my daughter had saved them to wear on holiday once she had broken up. She wore them twice, the second time rubbing her badly and the sequins on the top on both shoes started to come unstuck. Today we returned to Gimme Shooz to be told that they have a 28 day returns policy and although we stated that they had been only worn twice, it was suggested that my daughter had damaged them, thus inferring we were lying and the item wasn't faulty. This has left a nasty taste and unfortunately we found out the hard way that customer care is only good if you are within the 28 days. A real shame as local businesses should be better than that.

We made the mistake of attending one of the shows operated by these guys. It was an utter shambles…read more The "free parking" consisted of trying to find a spot at the side of the unmade road leading to the venue where there was sufficient width that your car wouldn't be scratched by every passing vehicle. That "free parking" involved a walk of almost half a mile to the venue. When we got there the show was on the fifth floor and we had to wait in a 20 minute queue to use a lift that held about three people. Then they had the brass neck to charge us to enter the little market. The place was overcrowded and hot and wasn't even worth the ten minutes we gave it. I'm sure "Sincerely Yours" made a bundle of money out of this fiasco, but no way will I ever go near anything they organise in the future. I wouldn't trust them to organise -- insert proverbial phrase of your choice, rude or otherwise, here --.
