Cash Converters is one of my favourite stores of all time. CDs are almost all priced at three quid,…read morewhich is astonishing considering the excellent condition of the goods. DVDs are similarly priced, making for huge savings in the long run. Second-hand electronics are also available, which I have never had any issues with over the past ten or so years. Staff are always helpful and welcoming, which is more than can be said for some larger, more famous stores. In all, a brilliant shop for cheap entertainment, even if it is somewhat far from the town centre itself five stars.

As the store is part of a long chain of shops, big brands can be found alongside the usual bargain bin fare. At the time of writing, Belkin computer cables and Coca Cola are both available for purchase. Although the tills can often get rather busy, I can only recommend a visit to see for yourself. Therefore, I am giving Poundland Colchester four out of a possible five stars.

After calling into the shop the next day I was informed that they don't have to give me a refund for the difference! I believe I was taking to the Manager but was also informed that she didn't have to give me her name.. so what's the point of being a manager !! After speaking to citizen advice apparently they have not broken the law but most shops would of offered this difference back as a good will gesture.. The reviews from The Range at head office are very poor on this company which is incredible you still have a business. Luckily for me I managed to find the same garland on line at a cheaper price so have returned at another branch with a smile on my face. This shop certainly should not be trading and I certainly won't be spending anymore money at your company. Shame on you

Just like Wilkinson's in the town centre, the Range has a huge, well, range of goods, from…read morehomewares and pet food to stationary and snacks. Although some of the products on offer are somewhat cheap and nasty, most are of a high standard and sometimes even branded. Pet food is one of the best buys at the Range, with cheap fish, dog, cat and bird food. Plants are also available, but make sure to check them for dead bits or other problems. In all, a really varied store that offers a huge range but is let down by the poor quality of some products.
