“I needed my heels repaired and regretfully I had worn them down more than I should. I went to Timpson, Mary Street, Cardiff and spoke to Eddie. He assured me he could fix them. When I picked them up they looked like new. I am so pleased with the results and his friendly manner and helpful service I wanted to write to show my appreciation.”

“Absolutely disgusting customer service. Man in the shop screaming in my face and in 19 year old daughters face. Got keys cut and had to take them back as they would not work in the door, man was abusive and ended in him throwing the keys at us, saying there was nothing wrong with the keys. Will never be going back, disgusted with what the experience i have had”

“Terrible! stay away! Last time I brought watch. There was 1 pin missing. they said they can do it. All they did - they scratched it, but did not fix. the part fell off in zero time. This time I came to copy keys. simple, regular ones. it is a straggle to open my door now with that key.”

“Anas was so friendly and helpful..... the prices were very reasonable.....I was expecting them to be much more......I went into morrisons to do my shopping and when I got back the keys were ready....my son came in with me to collect and Anas remembered him from when he had been to have his watch fixed a few weeks earlier...and asked him if his watch was still ok.....lovely friendly service...”

“The last THREE times I have had keys cut, I have had to return because they don’t work! I’m not sure if it’s the person behind the counters fault doing them so quickly or the poor quality of the key now. Never again. Reading the reviews on this site, I think they need a shake up”

“Had a battery changed in my watch. Timpson broke the watch. Offered me £20 in compensation. Don't take a watch too Timpson for a battery change. Timpson staff are not trained to do so.”

“Timpsons - Princes Street, Mayfair. London. The manager Lee provided superb service repairing my boot heel which had come away from my boot. Fast, efficient - a quick rescue fix.”

“Bought some shoe polish in store for £3.95 online it shows the same product for £1.95 I spoke to customer service who said they can basically charge what they like in stores! I think this and the attitude of customer services is totally out of order!!”

“I have purchased several of the lifetime battery guarantees quite happily to sell these guarantees And take your money but I took two of my watches to Timpson’s in Sainsbury’s Blackpool I was told that one of my guarantees did not Match the watch and I said look at it again because I’ve been using this guarante for five years without agreeing with me or saying anything just took my watch and said come back in 20 minutes now the chap you have in there Mark could certainly do with going on a customer service course as manners are free However Timpson’s have honoured the lifetime watch guarantee and the batteries have lasted a good while and always done a good job on replacing the batteries”

“Ordered 2 memorial plaques for my recently departed Dad. One plaque arrived no problem the other not so.. have rung on numerous occasions the web shop with no answer. Tried sending timpson customer care emails still no reply. Eventually found a number for complaints to be quickly and abruptly put through to a different dept before even having a chance to say my complaint. I’ve got through now to the “web shop” having been put through again to be told plaque was sent out 10 days ago.. I said I have had no emails nothing to confirm delivery anything. Transpires the plaque has apparently been lost by Royal Mail and so now I have to wait for a new one. (Which I have paid 3 weeks ago at £40). Terrible customer service and won’t be using this company again!”

“Visited Timpsons in Penarth with my grandsons football boots as insole kept sliding. The lady who served me Dawn could not do enough to help, she stuck existing insoles, helped me choose another pair, cut & stuck them in smelly boots for me. Amazing customer service thankyou”

“I had keys cut in the Westcroft morrisons that didn't work. Had to go back and went to get another set done but as he went to cut them I asked if they are going to work this time. All I got was " you do not trust me yep I'll gove you a refund and as he was doing that he was singing. What a Tw-t!!. So unprofessional and a waste of my time. Never never never going there again. And by the way you was using the wrong keys !!!”

“Located in Knocknagoney Belfast. I left a set of keys in, one of which ( bronze in colour) required cut. I bought 3 for £12. When I got home I discovered they had cut the wrong one. I returned to the store today and was TOLD by the manager that it couldn’t possibly be their fault and replacement would be £16. I had one key to get cut. I handed them the right one, but it was his attitude that stank. Dreadful customer service . I will never give them my business again ( which is a lot as I’m a landlord)”
