This WHSmith store is a fair size. However, the magazine/impulse area is cramped and the newspapers are hidden away in the corner.
Generally, they only sell chart DVD's, but at the moment there is a decent selection of DVD's at very cheap prices. Some starting at just £1. Many bargains can be found in this area. Some are even cheaper than Tesco's and the majority of them are a lot cheaper than HMV. I bought Peter Pan in WHSmith for £10, whereas in HMV it was £22.
The stationary area is extensive and includes a few ranges of fashion stationary, computer peripherals and the usual range of pens, paper, art materials, childrens art materials, photo frames and albums and office adn student essentials etc.
WHSmith can sometimes be expensive, but it is important to know that there are always bargains to be picked up here. A large selection of stationary is usually on sale at the front of the store, especially around Back To School times, where calculators and the like can be found at up to 75% off.
The books section is an okay size and is well organised. It can still be difficult to find the book you're looking for however. It's always easier to ask, the staff are extremely friendly and happy to help. Just ask at the desk and they'll check to see if they have it in stock and they'll find it for you if they've got it. If they haven't got it, they are more than happy to order it in for you. I have ordered a few books and a few items of stationary in with them previously. The items usualy arrive within 3 days to the store with no charge for delivery.
The staff are very helpful in this store and always polite and friendly. They are always chatty and they always brighten up my day when I shop here.
Hope this has been helpful for you. read more
