“Poor quality and undersized”

Written on: 10/05/2013

Thought I would buy something to help the poor factory workers. Bought underwear in the largest size which does not fit and obviously cannot return. Uncomfortable material. Will not buy from again. Staff none too helpful. (read more)

“One star still too much. ”

Written on: 30/04/2013

After trolling the high st for a specific black pleated skirt, i heard primark had some. I've not shopped there for some years, but i knew what to expect (hey, a girl can hope right?!) Awful manners. Staff backbiting about customers. No smile, no hello. Can't blame the assistants, management should treat them better. Staff don't even know their own refund policy. (I had to ask as I am weary of their products) If you want to be ignored, primark is the place to be! As expected, the item... (read more)

“Cheap but not safe”

Written on: 12/07/2012 by John1009 (4 reviews written)

I have had shopped to primark many times, the quality of things is not really good but it is understandable you get what you pay for.. the main thing is the rush in a store and there isnt any security. things get lost in a store so easily, last week my partner lost her purse in store and the security camera's didnt even caught that which is really upseting us. We can cancel the cards but what about the cash amount? IF camera's arent able to find then whats the point of hanging them on... (read more)

I work in Primark and I'm not sure which one you went to but we have at least 2 security guards in the building at all times. Cameras are always being watched for anyone looking suspicious also so I wouldn't judge that situation on all of the stores, very unfortunate it happened but it is that one store you should be highlighting

“Overrated store with poor staff service”

Written on: 04/05/2012 by bryand

Went to Primark in Glasgow today to find some clothes for my 17-month old son. Found the selection for children's clothing to be an absolute mess. Very difficult to find anything, but eventually found a few items. Noticed that there were 3 staff standing behind the 'Customer Service' desk doing nothing, so decided to pay there. Once I was at the desk the girl working behind the counter asked me if the items I had were returns. I said no. She said,'well you'll have to go to the cash desk.... (read more)

“Cheap and cheerful”

Written on: 03/03/2012 by clare2011 (8 reviews written)

Ok you basically get what you pay for in there. Some of the stuff looks very wow but sometimes it wont last the weekend. Its very cheap, items often reduced to £1 or even 50p. The makeup dries up very quickly and if you buy something like shoes and wear them every day, don't expect them to last much more than a few months. I l;ike it because of convience really say I need something but cant afford to pay for good quality right a way, Primark is a great store for 'disposable' jackets, shoes... (read more)

“Customer service - cheaters”

I've recently bought lovely double bed duvet with pillow cases, where should be 2 pillow cases as it was described on the package. I haven't had any suspicious to control them at the store, because I've never had a problem with the store. When I've come home, I found that one of them is missing, so on the next day I went to the Primark and explained them an situation. Cashier went with my issue to the manager of customer service and even to the back , where I couldn't see her. And they... (read more)

i think that primark is discriminating the larger gental men as they only cater for men of xs s m l xl not xxl or even xxxl in shirts jumpers ect and even in jeans & trouser you only go up to a size 40 and not size 42 44 46 and so on its the same in your suits you only go up to a size 44/46 and no higher46 48 50 .it out of order i wish you would do something about it.

Because Primarks prices are so cheap, it means that you can get so much more for your money than you would in a overly expensive shop like river island, it may not be the same quality, but its so cheap its easy to replace. Its to my knowledge, that for some of the goods that are sold they use the same manufacturer. They sell so many different things, its amazing! (read more)

I usually pop in to my local Primark (MetroCentre Gateshead) on Monday's as i would hate to miss a bargain, also visit the Newcastle branch on Friday's when i'm in town, now a funny thing has happened, have Primark's buyers got something against us bra size 36A and any A size upwards as they seem to have stopped stocking them, you can get A cups up to 34 and then nothing higher, come on Primark, sick of paying M & S prices for mine these day's.

“I have only worn one of the tshirts - a red one ”

Written on: 23/11/2010

I have only worn one of the tshirts - a red one
To my horror, the white bra I wore underneath is covered in red fluff which isn't coming out easily - I daren't put it in the washer with other clothes in case it spreads.
Primark was the only store anywhere with a range of colours in round-necked tshirts, so this is disappointing. I would have happily paid more for the same design in a better quality. As I will probably have to replace the bra, it would have been more economical.

What a fab shop! Shame the nearest is 50 miles away. The prices are brilliant! The trouble is, I've found that every one I've ever been to always looks like a jumble sale, as the clothes are on the floor and dumped in piles on display stands. People have the attitude that because the clothes at Primark are cheap, that they don't have to have the respect that M&S or Debenhams have. (read more)

I always go to Primark to buy basic items, such as t-shirts and vests tops, as their prices are very good. They also have a good choice of colours and sizes, although their smaller sizes tend to go quickly. They also sell 'copies' of fashions that are in high street shops at cheaper prices. The underwear/lingerie is great value and they always have lots of choice. In general, the items I have bought from there lasts for a while and is good quality.

The Primark nearest me is like a jumble sale when I walk in it. I must admit that nobody buying respects the clothes, probably because of it's cheap pricing, it's all just flung everywhere normally! Also the staff that work in this particular store are ever so grumpy & the majority of them are actually foreign.
Anyway, I do love this store. It is good value for the price, can you really go wrong £1 for a pair of flip flops?! I mean, come on! In New Look a basic pair of flip flops like that... (read more)
