Food section is excellent! All foods looks nice and well presented. I like cake section, the cake is so beautiful and tastes really nice. Leônidas choclates are ace. It is always hard to choose !! read more

Selfridges is quite a posh department store and more expensive than it's counterparts Next, Debenhams, House of Frasier and Marks and Spencers. It has a lot of choice and everything is high end with plenty of designer goods and jewellery. There is a lovely food area with international foods, Krispy Kreme donuts, sushi, take-away food and seasonal goods. It is a bit too expensive for my pocket unfortunately but I do love a browse there. My only criticism here is that the staff can actually be a little bit rude, maybe they can tell I am too tight to pay their prices?! Anyway, as nice as it is to see such lovely things, I think I'll stick to John Lewis. read more

don't be put of for looking for a bargain outside of sale times in this store! have been on various occassions and always walked away with something nice! and at a price i don't mind paying! you don't have to buy anything, just looking is enough for me at times, well,..... looking, drooling and sobbing quietly as i walk away from the new prada handbag, the black and yellow striped one, looks so ugly, its a must have! i always find the food court in the basement, to have fab reductions towards the end of the day! great for when you fancy olives, pork pies, cakes etc as they reduced the near dated stuff by 75%! but you need to watch that they mark this on the containers before you take items to the tills. and the tills can get very busy and don't have a proper queueing system. so it can get annoying when some people push in, by accident or on purpose! the candied insects (scorpions, maggots, ants) are good, never tried them! just as novelty presents for friends that have everything or will try anything! the yo sushi can get very busy, but consistantly good as the others i've eaten at and the little cafe in the corner opposite with the good coffee and cakes. they have little bite sized brownies in a bag, these are a must have treat! to console yourself for not being able to afford the designer bags etc. also good for bribing small childern into behaving! the wines section is nicely laid out and the samples are always welcomed! the beauty section on the ground floor is exceptional! my fav perfume is la prairie midnight rain! (they do not have a la prairie counter) and as i can't easily get it in the uk till near christmas, i asked the man on the perfum section for help and he knew his stuff! sent me in the right direction for a replacement scent. though some were very slightly similar, none matched or came close. but he spent a good 10mins plus helping me! in a dying cause, (as for now the midnight rain is a unique scent!) and that is what i call service! he even gave my poor bored son a chocolate for waiting so patiently for us to stop yattering! the perfume section also have out of sale reductions, damaged boxes etc so worth looking into when passing. the other beauty counters are just as helpfull, willing to give samples of products, when in stock. as i never buy full sized items without a good try! so the feel good factor that the store generates for the beauty counters is 5stars! don't be afraid to ask for samples, even if your not buying that product at the time, as the way i see it, the companies are asking for £30.00 plus on there face creams etc, so you really don't want to get one, and after a week of use, the cream does not do as it's advertised or worse causes a reaction with your skin! i loved the cosmetics counter (near one of the exits) where you can make yourself up at, but i forget its name, all its products are laid out for you to try on, with assistants to help you obtain the look you want! for a posh department store, the assistants are all very helpfull, non of this nose in the air business, you can get in some other stores! some are dressed to kill! much to my partners delight as we followed one up the escalators. (she was wearing hold up stockings) men! the only complaint, mainly from my partner was the easter event, they advertised sexy easter bunnies to be in the mens wear department, between the hours of 1pm till 3pm (it was the only reason he took me shopping that day!) so i left him and our son there as i shopped, and when we met back up, the poor man was ever so upset, as none appeared! but on the plus point our son got a free chocolate in the chocolate section in the food court area (they were wearing yellow bunny ears) so, at least my son was happy with the easter bunny promise! though i think my son was expecting them to be in a full rabbit costume, bless him. read more

I do love Selfridges as everything is in the one place. There is a definate ease as you can go from floor to floor using escalators. I do feel a bit paranoid while looking at the designer goods though as you are definatly kept a watch on, but over all nicely designed and layed out. read more

Packed with everything you need to keep up with the most glamarous of lifestyles. Everything is designer clad, brands such as Dior, Juicy couture, Louis Vuitton and Diesel to name a few. Famous shoppers are the likes of footballers wives and other celebrities, mainly because they are some of the only people who can afford this kind of stuff! There are restaurants and bars within the massive store and a wide range of mens and womens clothing, with plenty of designer brands to choose from. If like me, you cant afford any of this stuff, its still good to walk around and have a butchers!! read more

My favourite shop in Manchester. A good range of male clothing, and far better than Harvey Nichols across the road!

There bis a good range of products in here at a range of prices. I find the food hall great for unusual presents at good prices, such as pink champagne for £10, and scorpion lollies for the more adventurous. The cosmetics floor has a brilliant Mac outlet where the staff are very heplful. Then there are some floors which I usually skip as they sell the more high end clothes, with high end price tags! The top floor is my favourite as it sells a range of clothes from many shops all in one place. They also have amazing sales with some realbargains to be had! read more

I'm an avid shopper of the store, with my favourite counter being MAC as the staff are always so friendly to me there. Other counters, not so much. I feel judged straight away by staff members, especially from the clothing department, as though I don't have the money to be shopping there. It's easy to realise that the store is tailored for the luxury, high end shopper. Everyone else, in their eyes, can go shop elsewhere it seems. The store itself is very big, with plenty on offer from bags, to jewellery, watches, clothing, beauty etc. I will say, however, that having shopped online a couple times as well as in store, its easy to realise that there is a huge problem in communication between the shop and Customer Services online. I've never had any problems in buying in store, but ordering online has always resulted in damaged/faulty goods, arriving way past the day of delivery, etc etc. read more

A great place for designer clothes, perfume and beauty products. They have designers which include Stella McCartney, D&G, Burberry and Marc Jacobs. However the prices are expensive so not best if you are on as budget. The best place to shop in Selfridges has to be the food hall, they have imported food from America and you can buy real candy there. They also have a Sushi bar and drinks section but the best food has to be the novelty exotic- chilli worms, a scorpion in vodka and chocolate ants! Recommended. read more

This is the best place to shop in Manchester. It has every single thing you could ever want under one roof. From food, to handbags, to jewellery they have it all. It's the kind of place you would love to visit when your pay check come through. The have concessions of different designer stores from which you can buy the latest designer gear. For ladies, there is a handbag heaven at the ver top floor. Having said that, selfridges is relatively alot more expensive that your conventional high street shop, its just the kind of place you go to if you feel like splashing out. read more

Selfridges is an expensive department store situated in the centre of town. It stocks a vast array of clothing, food, electronic goods and, naturally, fridges. The prices of these goods are, for the most part, exorbitant. Example: one candy bar will set you back at least twenty nine pounds (a slight exaggeration perhaps, but seriously it is dear). There are many nice foods to be sampled in the food hall; I had an especially nice sausage there a few weeks ago. The clothes range will cater for most needs, although the blatant obsession with labels will be nauseating for many. Big shop, big prices. read more

great place when you get paid, but nice layout and some great labels, always bump into one of the footballers or celebrity. Great perfume counter too and electrical side is small but good. Great cafe for coffee and snacks too. Well worth a trip out and close to all the other shops too read more

Ahhhhhhhh, NOW you are talking. I love this shop. It has EVERYTHING and such a calm atmosphere after the bustle of Manchester.

My favorite shop in the Trafford Centre.The beauty/perfume section is a delight with some of the more 'select' designer labels- however as you would expect it can be expensive.Nice though if you're wanting something a bit more exclusive.There is a large range of designer clothes and accessories including shoes and handbags.The food hall in particular is worth a look with some lovely food and drink on offer.The layout of this store is quite special but is reflected in the price you pay. read more

Great food section.

I know this isn't the biggest Selfridges & Co store in the country but that's why I like it. The Manchester Trafford centre branch has everything I want and I can easily find it. Yes the bigger stores may have more choice, but they also have a lot of rubbish I don't want to see. I like the concise collection they have to offer. I can always find things I like here, I often walk away wanting to spend more but I have already blown my budget. I know its not cheap but you get what you pay for in this world so I will be sticking to Selfridges. read more

Selfridges divides itself from others because of its superior quality and customer service it offers to customers. All customers have the choice to have a personal shopper to assist them purchasing form the latest trends in town. The sushi bar is quite popular for health freaks but I don't personally like it, the different foods are extremely delicious and exotic that you will find hard to find in your local supermarket. The staff that work here know the products inside out and are very helpful in pointing you in the right different if they don't sell what you're looking for. The electronics are well priced with other leading retailers but the clothes are a tad on the expensive side because it's the latest fashion and not common in other clothes shops. read more

Selfridges is located right in the middle of the Traffford Centre. It has three floors (that I can remember!) that sell furniture, televisions, music players, designer clothes, high street clothes, jewelery, fragrances and cosmetics!! Selfridges is quite expensive but it is worth looking through. The after christmas sales are great, but it can be a little scary when the store is full of tall people and you can't see anything (though I am quite small)! read more

The layout of the shop is good, but I don't think that it is any better than any of the other large department stores, such as Kendals. The staff - Every time I have visited the Manchester store I have felt uncomfortable. I cannot say that I feel like that when I visit the Trafford Centre store, where I have found the staff to be very pleasant. I went into the Manchester store to buy my girlfriend a new concealer from the Clarins counter. The sales assistant spent the first 10 minutes ignoring me, and when she did finally ask me if I wanted any help, she answered my questions with yes/no answers, and did not really put me at ease at all. In fact, I thought she was a little frosty. The only thing that she did do was recommend a gift set, which included the concealer that I wanted and two other products that I thought she'd like, which worked out at better value for money. However, I am sure any Clarins Counter representative in any department store would have done this, and to be honest, I expected that in a store like Selfridges you would receive better customer service than in some of the other large department stores. I did make my purchase, but I think I will go to the Clarins counter in a different store next time. read more

Selfridges & Co has to be of the most expensive, but yet stylish and awesome shop in manchester it has very good customer services, the customers don't judge you by how you look and they are friendly to you. Even though sometime i get annoyed when things are too much and i feel like I'm getting robbed lol, but their customer service is good and that is a key thing in any business ! read more

my favorite store in the whole world. i love it! totally recommend it

If you want really good service the go to Selfridges in Manchester. I went Christmas shopping there last week with a list of things that I had to find for my family. I hate Christmas shopping *unless for me) so I dint have a clue how to find a dress that my sister wants just by the product information she game me. I asked one of the shopping assistants if she could help me and she was probably the nicest assistant I have come across when in any shop before. I knew because it was Selfridges their staff would have to be polite but she really did seem happy to assist. She found all the stuff I wanted and showed me to the till and even struck up a conversation without being forced!!! If Selfridges wasn't so expensive I think I would shop here all-time time. The store look amazing with all the Christmas lights up, I just wish everyone else in the Annandale was a festive as the girls in Selfridges read more

a very nice store to look at but theres not a huge amount of choice in it. they have the usual makeup and accessories floor food hall and sushi bar downstairs ladies, mens and the usual in a department store. compare with the size and choice of some of the other department stores in manchester its not as vast they do have some choices that arent avaliable elsewhere in manchester but with more botiques opening and harvey nic across the street its not that out there for fashion. they have a large louis vutton concession which is new to manchester, not as much choice as id expect. read more

It is not soo expensive. There are other shops which you pay the same for things but you dont get the service at. Here if you ask for anything they will go out of their way. On one occasion the assistant was so slow it was painful and i had to bight my lip not to say anything but generally a good expereince read more

This is a great branch of Selfridges ideally located in the middle of the Trafford Centre. It is spread over two floors and sells a really wide range of products, from clothes to food and beauty products. Downstairs it has a big make up hall with all the top brands, a big shoe department which is a great place to drool over designer shoes! and a mens clothes section. Upstairs is the less pricey women's clothes section- with branches of Topshop, Miss Selfridge, French Connection, Oasis etc. Also upstairs are childrens clothes and homewares and electricals, alongside the food hall, which is probably the best bit. There are several counters offering a wide range of food, a juice bar, and a Yo Sushi counter where you can sit and get fab sushi. Not cheap but very nice! read more

This shop is a lovely modern place but some things can be very expensive and a few of the staff members can be quite snooty, however most of the staff are very nice and helpful. There are lots of things to buy, some of which are very unusual. The technology department is very well stocked and good. read more

Selfridges is definitely not a shop for those on a budget. The mixture of upmarket tailors and other outlets make this definitely worth a window shop at the very least, however a Ted Baker suit is definitely not in my student budget whilst living in Manchester and at University. read more

On the 2 nd floor is nice bar if you have some extra many to spend that is exactly place to by. Overall Department Store looks good there are many branches where you can find nice clothes read more

Awful customer service, rude and arrogant floor manager Ms C Hughes, unresponsive floor staff who don't follow up as promised (Erlinda). I bought a Barbour jacket for my wife as a Christmas present on the 11th December. It didn't fit so we took it back on the 30th December only to be informed that we could only exchange..this is fine but for the fact they had no stock of the correct size! (in fact stock was ridiculously low in all styles and sizes except 6 and 8). OK then can you order the correct size please, no but we can call our other branches to check stock and call you back. No call after two days so we called them to be told there was no stock anywhere! Really, really awful attitude and service levelsDO NOT SHOP AT SELFRIDGES if you expect even the basics of customer service. read more

What a contrast, I love some of the stores within selfridges but have little time for selfridges itself, I had cause to complain about an item i bought from them recently, the service I got from the supervisor / manager can only be described as appaulling, I have to bite my lip to enter the store these days. read more

When Selfridges came to Manchester taking over half of a struggling M&S store it seemed like a sign of things to come for Manchester with unique and exiting brands that could only be found in London before this time. However 8 years on and it feels like perhaps Selfridges has lost some of it's sparkle. when purchasing a scarf I was ignored by sales assistants while waiting at a till point which was covered in note books, stickers and other unsightly clutter. On approaching a member of staff requesting them to put through my purchase they were very pleasant delivering the high level of customer service you would expect from an exclusive store however looking around seeing an unbelievably dirty ceiling while other staff laughed and joked with one another it is hard to see the Exchange Square Store in the same league as it's counterparts in London and Birmingham. Perhaps this would help account for the extremely high turnover of concessions and why mid week it is more like a lonely Mall sparsely populated by customers. As opposed the unique shopping experience it promises to be. read more

i love selfridges, it really does have something for everyone. i could spend hours looking at the different brands in store and staff are so lovely and always willing to help. read more
