Poundstretcher Reviews

I recently went into a pound stretcher store 20 miles from my own town. I purchased a solar light which did not work after a few days. I of course had a receipt but after some time in the store the young man at the till was unable to process the transaction , his manager told him to tell me that I needed to go back to the other store I was given an incorrect slip of paper with the wrong email address and ended up having to phone what a shambles and seriously why would I spend time and fuel to get back to Newbury 20 miles when my local store how ridiculous

Do they really believe the public are this stupid. They double the prices then advertise 50% off .I hope they get shutdown

Boycott these stores, refused new polymer note . Shopping for/with with a totally blind person and their rudeness was off the scale !!
Will never shop with these again.

How can they deny they doubled prices when, after their 'sale', the sale prices are now EXACTLY the same as the standard price? Liars and fraudsters. Hopefully Trading Standard's have taken note, and will fine them again.

Absolutely horrendous store in Newtown. Staff are terrible. I tried to return a product and the child I can only assume to be the manager as aggressive and completely ignorant. What an absolute nightmare. He had no clue what he was talking about and treated me like I didn’t exist. He looked right through me. While his crony staff just watched and smirked. Seriously needs the sack!!!!! I’ve never met a more cold person in my life!!! No compassion whatsoever

Would have given zero rating complained to head office about being ripped off got a reply that showed head office don't understand the 50% and when mixed with other store offers and basically it was due there extra costs of transport etc will never shop there again avoid at all cost I was overcharged by £5.25

Not only did they hike up the prices in order to con us into thinking we were getting a 50% discount the discounted prices were more than in many other stores. Thank goodness I only bought a few items, will never shop there again.

Was in poundstretcher today 50 percent off sale.every price was marked up to double before 50 percent discount .I wonder why people go in to a shop where this is happening .I certainly won't be back.

The prices they are charging with 50% off is the original price, the ‘before price’ is a load of rubbish, complete scam, never going in again

The staff at poundstretcher didn't know if they stocked washing capsules for clothing, I had to ask and then find it myself, found Surf.Purchased lamp ( cream) as the lighting wasn't working at the council flats/ rooms on Church Road, they( Theori) wouldn't fix a light bulb straight away, they delayed for days.The lamp kept making the light bulbs not work, and I had to keep replacing the fuse?Lamp not 'purchaseable'.

What a complete rip off this is everything has been hiked up to double the price of before this promotion so it looks like your getting 50% off but actually you are paying the full original price! Shop elsewhere people you won't save anything in this shop..... bizarre!!

Visited poundstretcher to find high inflated prices already on shelf the whole spend a fiver and get all ur basket for 50,% off is a con i spent a fiver and my basket contained 8.90 . If it says on all the hype on the boards outside its 50% off when u spend 5 pounds then half of 5 is 2.50 the ad is misleading and the sales assistant was miserable aswell saying all prices were already half price. I went next door after my shop in poundstretcher and found the exact products alot chraper . Poundstretcher is a con avoid it unless u want to pay for over priced products. I wont be goin back.

Terrible way to treat customers. I shop there regularly but now they are having a 50% discount sale but the prices on the shelves are the price you pay and you do not realise this con until you have checked out. Will not be going back and more customers will be lost.

Retail watchdogs should throw the book at these chancers. I went to the Paisley branch in Scotland and fully expected 50% off my basket's price but was shocked to find that the original price of everything on my receipt was at least double their labelled shelf prices...thus making the "discount" null & void. They can't even be bothered to keep up the pretence of saying customers have to spend at least £5 to get the imaginary discount. I heard the teller say to another customer "never mind that, it's a badly worded poster, basically everything's half price". The shop was also virtually empty, so it looks like this disingenuous ploy has deservedly backfired on them.

This store is confusing and deceiving the customer .
It's says on window of our store ...spend over £5 .00 and receive 50% off Ur total basket .
It's stupid way cos the goods on shelf are already reduced to 50 % they deduct it from the till and yet I had no idea the price stickers already been marked at 50 % but not until you get to till .funny way of having a sale
And one of the items I bought was damaged when I opened it up prices were broken.
