Reviews of wilko

R. T.

Large Wilko shop set in modern type arcade. Easy and adequate access all round display points. Very reasonable prices on items for everyday use .. Not really for browsing and perhaps just personal choice, not for me. Wandered round and left empty handed

S. E.

I love Wilko for the sheer breadth of its offerings. I can buy hinges, and razor blades, and a sparkly cushion. Brilliant

A. W.

Polite,friendly and helpful customer service staff.Everyday products available at Wilko that are priced fairly and realistically.

G.

This used to be one of my favourite shops in the precinct, not any more. Not many bargains to be had, the place seems soulless. No wonder these stores are closing.

J. E.

Quite a big store, everything is easy to find, products are well priced, staff are always polite and helpful, they usually always have a shelf and a container near the tills of reduced items, I always find a great bargain at discounted prices

W. P.

Shelves were pretty empty but normally well stocked

r. a.

Very friendly staff. Very well laid out in store with lots of well delineated areas. Managed to get a couple of bargains in here well worth a visit especially as they have now closed the one in Bournemouth.(or will have after today)

S. B.

We visit each week when doing usual shopping. Always worth a visit. Nice staff.

T. T.

There was a queue but as we were paying by card a member of staff did the self service for us! Still not easy to find things but we did get what we needed.

B. S.

Yay for Wilko. So much more to wait for uncle. Will be back tomorrow night so hopefully we'll have time to look at the weekend.

T. B. M. C.

One of my fav store's even when I don't need anything still seem to find something.

J. R.

please don't ever close. Such good value

H. D.

A lot of shelves were empty and there was only 2 tills open. I got what I needed though. Not very wheelchair friendly tills

P. M.

Can usually find what I need there... But Poundland and Super Savers have same products and cheaper prices..

l. j.

Reasonable selection of goods, garden stuff especially. Average prices

G. O.

Very convenient shop that has a bit of everything! But best of all is when the pick n mix is half price!! £2 for a large cup!!!

J. F. -.

Staff were extremely helpful plus the choice of the merchandise is excellent. Yep I'll be back again.

T. J.

Much better now they've introduced self service checkouts because it moves a lot faster. Nice big shop with a good range of stock. My son likes their kid's toothpaste because it isn't minty.

A. B.

They have a wide range of household goods

C. X.

Lots of offers were on whilst I came here, nicely stocked shelves and an easy layout. Also quick service when you pay for your shopping however this is mostly due to self checkouts.

T.

Good value for money bit shelves are empty a lot.

S. S.

Great range of products for a good price. Large home section as well as toiletries and a garden section too. Always efficient service in there and friendly staff

R. M.

I understand there are issues with lorry drivers etc but half the shelves had either NO stock or just cardboard

D. W.

A very large store so a great selection of products at Wilko good prices. Easy to find. Lots of parking around with easy level access.

s. b.

Not what it used to be to be honest, il only go in there if I have to

S. P.

Good prices, quite good selection of goods for size of store, very few staff members on floor. Also only one till is available to use money out of the eight tills. Over all needs lots more staff

M. L.

Ok but as with all major stores suffering from stock shortages due to current situation. Hope things improve for them in 2022.

Z. J.

Good shop. Store assistants are lovely and very helpful. The shelves aren't always stocked but you can find most things and at a bargain price

L. M.

Lots of nice stuff for the home mostly well priced. I found the towels were same price as M&S and not as nice, disappointing. Handily located close to public toilets in Sovereign Centre, Boscombe.

M. V.

Fairly clear flow of shopping traffic through the store. All staff seem to take the current Covid situation seriously helping customers to feel confident and safe whilst shopping. Good communication throughout and well stocked.

T. M.

Only one check out. One of my purchases was a card that had to be scanned which meant she had to leave her station to obtain my purchase. Subsequently creating a long que. No impressed.

L. E.

Great store! My only complaint Is never seem to have enough people to serve. Waiting times can take ages

U. B.

Well organise. Great service

k. t.

Wilko is I assume suffering from delivery issues pre covid and Brexit the shelves were full they haven't been for a while but noticeably even more bare shelves

J. V.

It's a small shop, but there is a variety of products. You need to pay for parking in the centre & then you can access all shops in the Boscombe. I've always found a stag member to help if needed. The prices aren't low, but they are reasonable

R.

The store layout is more of a maze with only a rough idea where things will be, quite alot of products but not enough variety & i often leave without buying. Seems to be quite a few staff yet no one to ask. Never been sure as to what you'd class the store to be!

R. L.

This is another great store with lots of variety of products to choose from. The prices can sometimes be cheaper than Poundland. They also do offers occasionally with different products all the time. Quality is good and customer service is great. There is parking around the area but not in the place. Thank you.

M. B.

I have always had the best of friendly service in the boscombe store especially from staff members Joseph neb Mary Beth Janice and all the other members too many to mention all of whom are exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable I can't praise them enough .

P. A.

Cheap and cheerful, great service

D. S.

Everything from painting to gardening Store has a easy layout Great selection of fixtures and fittings Bird food at a great price Self scan check out Covid safe stores 100% Helpful staff ever time

c. s.

You spend more time looking for items you want to buy.

L. W.

Store perspex shields are badly placed and designed, other than that they're well set up for people to keep a distance. Customers not always so good. I'd wear a mask next time.

J. B.

Nearest shop to much missed woolies. Can get most of what I want from here.

I. B.

Good sized store with a wide variety of goods with competitive prices Staff have been approachable and helpful in finding items in store

A. W.

Good selection of hardware, home, garden and cleaning products. Not the most comprehensive for each, so isn't extensive for each section, but covers most things you need. Often the best value for things like pick and mix screws, toothpaste and washing powder, but price competitive on most things.

A. B.

Great place to shop can always get the things l need all in one place.Also great value.

K. J.

I love Wilko! Always great prices and I can always find what I'm looking for. Lots of great offers on laundry and cleaning products. Shops are tidy and staff helpful :)

One of the best if not the best shops in n Boscombe, the staff are really helpful and I am always surprised at the wide range of items on sale. Oh and the prices are normally the best aswell. Thanks my lovelies :)

M. P.

Great variety of paint and home products! Not many staff on shop floor as tills seemed to be busy but easy to find your self around the store.

p. y.

Staff friendly and helpful normally got in stocks what I need for small DIY jobs

P. R.

Wilko is one of my regular haunts..staff very good and always helpful..even their pots of paint are good enough for me..my home has been painted completely with wilko products..def worth checking out for all sorts

S. P.

I am a fan of Wilko for their range and value. This is a good sized store with a comprehensive range of stock. Toiletries and proprietary medicines are particularly good value. The store is within the Sovereign Centre, so its under cover and close to the car park

R. B.

Clean. Helpful staff. Pretty good range of items. Ok prices.

D. J.

You can get absolutely everything at wilko. Hardware, stationary, home cleaning chemicals and even make up! Reasonably priced and always lots of specials.Paid parking available in the Centre

D. A.

This rating is based only on my visit to the plant section. Where once again, indoor plants were placed in the section for outdoor plants , which is confusing to customers like me (novice gardeners). Also the evergreen shrubs, at £3 each, are currently only £1.79 in ALDI, with a wider range

P. R.

Just a quick visit for an essential. Helpful friendly staff.

T. A.

A nice sized store selling a good range of various items including household plus cleaning goods, car maintenance, kitchenware, cosmetics & toiletries, confectionery, gardening plus artificial flowers, paint & selected wallpapers, tools & stationery plus much more, nice staff to serve or to assist you.

L. G.

Have been using Wilko for years all 3 local branches , online for about everything and anything. Always comes top in service, value , quality . Even beds and wardrobes online. Excellent in every way.

E. R.

Geest choice of products, good proces and promotionele. The store is clean and tidy and stage are reality friendly.

s. s.

Friendly staff ready to point you in the right direction. Great prices

D. M.

Asa usual, the right products at highly competitive prices. Wilko continues to give the budget supermarkets a good run for their money!! Well done Wilko. 👍👍😁

P. N.

Almost always find what I want and at good prices too. This store has taken the place in the High Street of Woolworths, pet stores, hardware stores and many more. They have a great business model.

E. R.

Have good products for good prices. I usually go here for stationary but it's good for lots of things. Also like the pick and mix available in most stores.

E. N. (.

Allways have what i want at great prices sometimes very quiet

p. k.

Quite a nice store with good variety

A. R.

Can't find at least a galon of varnish display.

P. S.

Wilko is one of the places I go to for dyi stuff. The 4 stars is for items that are poor quality. BUT many item are really good for good price. And the service is good enough. And it is spacious, I like that..

J. S.

lots of reduced home items. Loads Christmas stuff. I'd wanted garden items no luck. Brilliant reductions in pet food. Staff helpful

B. G.

B. M.

T. M.

We have long loved Wilko for many reasons and over many years. Wilkinsons stock all kinds of things that are difficult to find elsewhere. You need electrical, plumbing, household, kichen, cleaning, gardening ..etc..etc. or you want to make some wine or beer; then come to Wilko. This branch is our favourite in the the Bournemouth area. It's clean, brightly lit and open plan. The staff are friendly and most helpful. The shopping complex adjoins the high street, a bus station and a multi-story car park. A resounding 10 out of 10.

B. W.

Love this place as its so cheap and you get good itens they s sell every thing but food!! Lidols next door though x

K. E.

Found everything I wanted. What a shame that the Bournemouth branch is closing

z. z.

Staff are very helpful. I love Wilkinson - good quality & bargains, diy, chemist, seasonal stock, cosmetics etc - I really like the home interiors.
