“Quoted £19 or £25 for a replacement watch battery to be fitted to my Rotary watch by Timpson in Maidstone Kent by a very patronising employee. Had one fitted by a nearby jewellers for £5. Not sure how Timpson can justify such a rip off.”

“This is a thieves house. I called timpson because of a lockout, they took my address and asked for a 50£ deposit for someone who would come in an hour because they are on another job. Ok, I paid the deposit. Less than 5 minutes later, I got it sorted out, I canceled the job. They refused to return the deposit stating that they already contacted someone to come while they just told me it would take an hour to send someone because they are on another job”

“Called in at Timpson Asda, Rotherham to have a battery fitted into my waterproof Timex watch. I was honestly expecting the cost to be a lot more than what I was charged, and when I was informed that the cost included a lifetime battery, I was really pleased and surprised. My watch was checked for waterproofing before any work was carried out, and again after a new battery was fitted. Ian was so pleasant and professional to talk to, and explained the full process in layman’s terms as he fitted the new battery. Very impressed by his attitude and dedication to his work over what is basically a cheap watch. Would have no problems in recommending Ian and TIMPSON to anyone.”

“Fantastic service by Andy in sainsbury Bury st edmunds ! At one point we didn't think he could tune my new key in because the chip wouldn't allow but he found a way. Provided a nice new 3 button key, programmed & key cut at a great deal 👌 Great going mate, especially as you were dealing with 3 different things at same time ! this is why I'll be back !”

“Was charged £18.95 for a replacement watchstrap. The price is £14.95 online. I'm guessing the worker in the shop in Hove is scamming people. Customer Services apologised and are refunding me. The prices should be written up in the shop to avoid this happening”

“I have just returned from my third visit to the store in Wandsworth Southside shopping centre to key one front door key. None of the original four keys worked so i returned to the store for a second try. No apologies for none of the keys working just issued with four new keys. The second set of keys also failed to work so a got a refund. No apology for none of the 8 keys not working and my third visit to the store. I have also incurred three lots of £2.30 parking fees and still have get new keys cut! Timpson's serve as a low cost key cutting serviced but have failed miserably on this occasion, will not use Timpson's ever again. Will happily pay more for a 'get it right first time service with a smile' organization. This member of staff clearly needs re-training on cutting ordinary front door keys and his level of customer care really could be better. Disappointed customer, expected much better! Complete waste of time.”

“Wow, took my watch into Timpson for a battery, but turned out it needed a service. The guy told me how much it would be and I agreed to it, paid for it and was told 3-4 weeks before it came back to me. 3-4 weeks later I have just received a message from Timpson telling me that service will cost something completely different from what I was quoted and paid for. I have obviously asked them to explain. Stay well clear.”

“Tried to get 2 front door keys cut from a working original. The first set they cut did not work.. one key only went in to the lock part way and the other went in, turned partially and then got stuck. 45 minutes later we were on the verge of calling out a locksmith when my partner somehow managed to wiggle the key out of the lock. I returned to Timpsons (Eastgate Bristol) to get a refund but was told by a surly shop person that their (Timpsons’) policy was to try again with different keys before giving a refund. No apology or even the slightest bit of empathy for the distress caused. I was clear that I was not happy with this policy, but having little choice gave them another chance. This turned out to be a further waste of everyone’s time as the second set of keys cut would not even go into the lock. I will go back again tomorrow for a refund and see how that plays out. In the meantime I’ve contacted Timpsons, who despite their auto response telling me how important my email was and claiming that they would get back to me within 24 hours have so far (24 hours later) been in touch. Very poor customer service and useless product.”

“Been to two different timpsons in as many weeks. Why do the staff seem to have an attitude problem? Don’t get understand they have a job because of customers? The way Timpsons bang on about great service isn’t the reality!”
