Wish I could give this a zero star. Absolute worst customer service that I have ever dealt with. Claiming my items were never returned so after making me purchase the return label, are now not giving me a refund and not offering any type of help. Avoid shopping here at all costs.

Really pleased with the items I brought but it's the staffs attitude that stood out. Couldn't do enough to help even down to items that would have to be ordered to the store.

My husband was in desparate need of a coat. Tried one on in River Island st The Fort Erdington, looked at other shops went back to River Island and they had closed letting all staff leave but a very kind lady allowed us to buy coat. Very impressed plus the coat ended up reduced so even more impressed.

I placed an order on Wednesday that was due for collection on Sunday as soon as the shop opened. I heard nothing on Sunday, so I went in to the shop on Monday but it still hadn’t arrived. I had an email on the Monday at 12.37 stating “IT’S ARRIVED”. Talking to other people, this is the norm for River Island. Why is that, when other similar shops can ensure delivery within 24 hours at NO extra cost? Nobody in the shop apologised for the late delivery - I guess they’re used to it!

I have never wrote a review before even though I often say I will ( I always tuck the receipt away and never get round to it) but over the last 2 weeks I have Xmas shopped at your Gateshead Metro Store and the level of customer service has been exceptional! From the staff on the sales floor, the staff on changing rooms, the manager ( sorry I never took his name but he has worked there approximately 7 years) and above all Hannah the lovely young lady on tills who has gone way beyond all expectations (even going so far as modelling clothes I was buying for my daughters for me, thank you, it really helped ). Nothing was ever a problem. I was so impressed with the service that I even found myself telling staff in other shops about the service I've received in your store. So there you go my first review and well and truly desverd Gateshead Metro Centre 😀

Metro centre Some old blond bird refused me entry 10 mins before closing . Thanks for that I spent my £249 in Top Man , I actually work in the Metrocentre and my shop remains open until our advertised closing time, quite often I remain until my customers are finished shopping. What made it worse, she actually turned to a younger colleague shaking her head and muttering to her about how sad I was coming shopping 10 mins before the store closed. Once again Thanks it's a cheap lesson in "Where not to shop" I should of known better, they don't even open on time either. Complacency at its best.
