caddylamb Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I like to shop for goods locally but two instances of town centre shop keepers who are lacking in the art of being pleasant human beings tempted me to go back to selling on Ebay and buying from the internet. However the EXCELLENT service from George Robertsons restored my confidence in local traders and I thought it would be good to be positive and say THANKS!

ariel Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 My mother also recently got very good service from George Robertsons when her washing machine broke down. They offer far better value than buying Sooth. I used to be very pleased with Lerwick Building Centre too, hope Jewson can keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'd like to "big up" LBC (soon to be Jewsons) thank you for ignoring the fact I was female, believing I knew what I wanted and actually being some assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHUCK NORR1S Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 As I said on a thread before, you can't please all the people all the time Go Geordie Robertson's, great shop, great service and great after sales. Never had an issue shopping there and also the Camera Centre, they're up there also. In fact, apart from Bolts Electrical a couple of years ago I've never really had any issue shopping in town, yes you do get the odd sales person who may seem a bit off but at the end of the day we're all human it's just they seem to get scrutinised and complained about on MoanLink more than anyone else, in my opinion. As for Bolts Electrical, I still shop there, i'm very easy going and don't hold onto bad shopping experiences. Touchy women, the whole male population is against them!!!!........blah blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girzie Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I agree wholeheartedly with Frances. The staff at the Camera Centre are so obliging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 As for Bolts Electrical, I still shop there really? do tell, where do you find bolts electrical now? (sorry but couldn't resist, hint - it's on the unit opposite the plates) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHUCK NORR1S Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 As for Bolts Electrical, I still shop there really? do tell, where do you find bolts electrical now? They moved what was left of the electrical equipment from the old shop in the main centre to downstair in the minimarket. Would you like me to draw you a map MJ?

MJ Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm impressed, not many know they're in the old MES offices. They've still got my old favourite radio (before I went digital south) It's still the same price 10years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuggie Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Bolts Electrical have been closed for years now. The electrical items you see is simply old remaining stock being sold off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitenessie Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 The craft shop staff are really helpfull, even advised a lower price item that was more suitable for what I needed.LBC great and Hayes, especially both carrying out the Ovoids to the car which is greatly appreciated.As mentioned before Geordies will give advice and it is an alladins cave with most things there.Thanks to all of you!
