    This branch of Wilko is quite a large branch in Bolton centre, I've visited here twice now which is…read moresurprising as I haven't had chance to review it yet. This branch is on Deansgate in Bolton, in the city centre and is fairly close to MarketPlace, the town's main shopping centre. The store is basically a typical Wilko store, albeit it is quite a large size especially compared to other branches such as Harpurhey, and it possibly could stretch to be bigger than my most visited stores in Middleton, Manchester, albeit I can't comment for certain as they are similar. The staff didn't seem really friendly and welcoming, just average and the location could have been better as it could have stood out and been better in the Marketplace Mall, which is nice and has been recently refurbished after putting in a dining quarter. but still the store would be slightly smaller then, yet the location would of course be better so that brings in this situation where Wilko "Can't win" in a way without spending intense amount of money. Overall, there isn't lots of things which makes this store stands out and it sadly is around the average mark, but not enough to warrant anything over two stars I'm sorry to report.

    Do people still call it Wilkinson's? That's how I know it and I'm not sure what they were trying…read moreto accomplish with the name change to Wilko, but I still stop in for bits and bobs. I really liked it when I was a student studying in the UK for a semester because it was cheap and now I like it because sometimes I need something practical that I can't seem to find anywhere else. I might also like a bit of pick 'n' mix :) While shopping in the town centre, I was looking for a place that sold pet items since I had struck out at some of the other shops I had been to. As I was walking to the bus stop, I saw this Wilko and thought I would pop in and see if they have what I needed. This store has two floors... home goods, kitchen items, etc. are on the bottom floor while toiletries, cleaning supplies, and pet items are on the ground floor. I forgot how inexpensive Wilko is and will have to go back for some Christmas lights! At the back of the store I found the pet section. While it is not a Pets At Home, it does the trick if you are in a pinch. They sell food, litter, cleaning supplies, and even toys... for dogs, cats, and other small animals. On my way to the till, I did not spot the pick 'n' mix display (probably for the best) and check out was very quick.

    Sadly since Qype have been taken over by Yelp all of the atrocious reviews for this company have…read moredisappeared. The company now seem to have gone bankrupt and taken all of their customers money with them. On the plus-side they have clearly been told to remove their website. Yelp were only able to locate one of my reviews (from August) below. I think it's still worth posting in case A1 Mirrors rear their ugly heads again. "Call me cynical, but it seems that for every bad review a customer posts strangely two or three '5 star' posts appear the next day to bring their ratings back up... Avoid this company like the plague. They seem very charming when you first place the order, but we have had to resort to the small claims court to get our money back. They did not deliver for weeks and we had to several letters before we could even get delivery. When they did eventually arrive the specification was wrong, rendering the mirrors useless to us. They have not rectified the fault. The company DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. They have a third-party answer service (absolutely nothing to do with A1 Mirrors, they just take messages) - the answer service are very friendly, but not much help to us. Once A1 Mirrors have your money they are not at all interested. If you have problems with A1 Mirrors PLEASE, PLEASE REPORT THE COMPANY TO TRADING STANDARDS. If you don't report them they can just carry on their cowboy business, taking money from people and not delivering the goods."

    Was told my mirror would arrive in 5-7 working days. I am still waiting 2 weeks later and when…read moretrying to ascertain how much longer I have to wait, my emails and phone calls have been ignored. 'We will call you back', what a load of rubbish! Deal with it now like any other professional business would do. Very disappointed, not a 'dedicated mirror company' as stated on their website. Would not recommend this company.
