Nice enough store with plenty of easy parking on the roof. Some departments feel like they have a limited range of goods. Overall a good shopping experience if you know what you want in advance and check that its avaliable first.
Ross, 4 months agoI was looking for a car seat for my baby and Crystal went above and beyond with the service she provided me yesterday. She helped me with finding the right car seat considering our budget as well. She’s very patient and very kind assissting and explaining how to set up the car seat. Another lady Sian was also nice bringing the car seat to my car. Super satisfied and thankful for the service!
Ayen Santos, 10 months agoHad to return a new immersion blender, purchased from Farmers, that had a badly cracked blender mug. I realised, looking at the box later that it had been damaged in transit. Went back to Shirley Farmers today and the young female assistant asked me if I wanted another blender of that model, went and got it for me and, something that does not happen these days... apologized for the inconvenience! Thankyou!
