The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about the their stock. the prices are very reasonable and if they dont have anything there you want they will bend over backwards to get it for you. i would recommend this shop.

If you have ever seen those unbelievably irritating cash my gold adverts with the tangoed ball of…read morefun that is Dale Winton then you will know exactly what to expect from this place. The Gold Centre is another one of those opportunist establishments which is doing a great job of stating the obvious fact that gold is worth money. This place looks tacky and really is, the quality of the products is terribly poor and the staff verge on being outright rude which is understandable given their working environment. There is nothing except desperation for money which draws people to this shop which is basically a dressed up pawn store. On the whole this is not a very pleasant place to visit and unless you are REALLY strapped for cash I can not find any reason for people to frequent this store.

I visited London Road Cash Converters last weekend in search for a TV/DVD player. I was greeted by…read morea very friendly salesman. I chose a television that came with a DVD, freeview and remote. When I asked if the warranty included refund the salesman informed me it did. He was very pleasant and helpful and I asked if I could put the TV to one side and pick it up in the morning. The next morning I paid for and took the TV away. That weekend I tried to play four DVDs (which I had bought especially) but all of them cut out after the first hour or the screen became heavily pixelated, rendering the dvds useless. The remote was also faulty. Naturally disappointed, I took the TV back to the shop for a refund, preferring to opt for a brand new television from somewhere else to avoid further disappointment. I was then referred to the manager, Darren, who informed me a refund was impossible and that he could only repair or replace the TV. I was annoyed with this as I didn't particularly trust the store at this point and I had been told the previous day before the purchase that the refund option would be available. I felt naive and fooled by a sales technique. However, the manager, after some debate, eventually agreed to replace the TV, and made it his personal task to find me something suitable that I could trust would work. He took my number and rang me the next morning. He'd found me a better TV with all the same functions and fully functioning remote etc. It was worth an extra £10 but he gave it to me for the original price I had paid. What could have turned out to be a very disheartening experience with Cash Converters ended up being a satisfactory purchase thanks to Darren's excellent customer service skills and generosity as a general manager. As a result I would recommend Cash Converters on London Road to anyone in the future.
