But recently when strolling past I happened to notice that had some Christmas wrapping paper in the window. Christmas was getting closer and closer and I always panic that I haven't got enough so went in to take a closer look, in all honesty expecting some thin, 'cheap' paper, how wrong I was! the paper was Lovely, the sort of quality you would expect from a reputable store such as m&s. I ended up buying reems and reems of the stuff. They also had some lovely gift ideas, and had I not already done my xmas shopping, I would've found lots of useful bargains here. All in all.. I was quite, quite impressed!

It does vary on the day and sometimes I haven't bought anything and another day have staggered out with bags of stuff .It is ex-catalogue stuff and now and again they have a sale and sell stuff off really cheaply ,i have had trousers for 62p and skirts and tops for silly prices.I have a much admired padded jacket which I bought for £2.49.It was a size 28 and I altered it to an 18 but it was well worth the effort. They sell some furniture and household items. They get televisions dvd players and a host of other electrical stuff.

It's quite spacious considering, and they stock a particularly good range of food and drink. Service is friendly and there are plenty of checkouts so it's fine even at busy times. However as is inevitably the way with pound shops, they never stock the thing you go in for; you always come out with something slightly different, or completely different. Also, be wary of the quality of some of their electrical goods, like headphones, some of which are utterly terrible. And don't get too caught up in the one pound is a bargain! mentality- you might find yourself paying a pound here for something which will only cost up 60p in Tesco But otherwise, it's great.

When I lived in Victoria Park I would always pop in and see Jaz on my way home from uni. He always recognised me and had something to chat about. He sells everything you'd expect to find in a discount store - 4 cans of pop for £1, chocolate bars, laundry baskets, clothes airers, Christmas decorations, pens, notebooks, loo roll.... I've actually bought all of the aforementioned goodies here and they are of surprisingly good quality. I bought a dirty washing basket from here for £1 in 2005 and it's still going strong! On more than one occasion Jaz has offered to pick me and my friends whatever we wanted up from the cash and carry and he's even requested our advice on pricing. Once he asked me how much I'd be willing to pay for a horrid talking Christmas tree. Not wanting to offend him, I told him I'd pay £5, which I think was a bit ambitious. Top marks to Jaz for providing an excellent level of customer service for the local students and families in the otherwise deserted Vicky Park.

Today is April 19th 2022 This is my terrible…read moreexperience at poundland in Shepherd's Bush in West 12 I am carrying a guitar on my back and my backpack on my left arm and a full shipping bag on my right hand. i walk inside the store and get a large 2.5 liter bottle of soda (fizzy drink) and a karge bag off salted peanuts. i wait behind three people as I am waiting my turn to pay on one of their self service machines or the counter person. my turn comes and my total is 2.50 and the machine asks me if I want a bag or not. I definitely need the bag to carry the heavy soda. So I pay a total of 2.70 i come to the counter to get my bag and she says she has no .29 bags. she says I can get the £2bags. I say ok I think to myself I'll put the large drink under my left arm and the peanuts in my large jacket pocket. i just have to get my 0.20 back. the lady to my right who was being Checked out by the counter person had a lot of items. So I had to wait for a long time. her bill came to £56 pounds. All this waiting with my heavy bags tired me and I decided to just go without the 0.20 as I start to move I notice its physically uncomfortable for me to carry all of my items because now I am tired and walking a few minutes with these items is going to be terrible m. The weather is a bit hot so it's not good. I realised I could not take them so I just said just give me my money back and the lady called a guy to refund me the money and the guy who seens to be working as se unity as well tells me I cannot refund the money for food. I said I have not even taken the stuff outside the store. He said when it is scanned it is considered purchased and there is no refund. come tomorrow and talk to the manager. I repeated the phrase I have not taken the stuff out the door yet. But to not avail. i said I can't take the stuff with me because you have no bags, and I can't physically carry them by hand either because I've been waiting for 19 minutes waiting for 0.20 so they have £2.70 of mine and I said fine I'll leave and give a review online. bad policy for not having enough bags for me to take my purchases home. If you run out of bags make a sign stating you are out of bags. this way I dont waste my TIME ENERGY & MONEY £2.70 When you know people will be purchasing bags which you do not have and so you have to give them the 0.20 back, have some 0,20 nearby outside the register to hand to customers and don't make them wait for next customer 's purchase to finish just to be able to get out 0.20 to give me 0.20 I was so appalled by the lack of this ridiculous way of handling things , essentially lack of customer service that I declared, I am never shopping here again. And I mean it.

Every branch is always a shambles, probably because when everything's a pound people have less respect for the products because they know they're so cheap. This is not a particularly big branch so is maybe more messy than most. They cram everything in and the aisles are small so avoid if you have claustrophobia. Tips: come here for branded toiletries - they have some things which you'd pay more for in Boots or Superdrug or the supermarket. Also, toilet paper - they do 6 packs for £1, which is cheaper than most other places. Obviously this is after you've decided that you won't lose all of your pride and dignity by shopping in Poundland. Also a good place to pick up small gifts, stocking filler type things, like gadgets, sweets and toys.

This shop will suit you if: (i) You want a 'designer' watch that weighs less than a piece of paper and doesn't tell the time. (ii) You want to see all the worst films ever made in one big pile with no organizing nonsense such as alphabetizing or chronologizing principles. (iii) You are just too calm and want to get stressed out fast. If you don't fit this criteria (you'd be surprised how busy this establishment is) then stay away.

The signs outside say proclaim that it is going out of business, so hopefully the shop will turn into something useful or cool, but I have a feeling it will remain a terrible cheap shop for years to come. If you want something decent for a quid, then you'd be better off heading to Pound Empire or Quality Save.
