    Hi Folks,

    I've was trying for months to get a keyring I liked (it had a ball in the centre, not that awful teddy one) and it was always "sold out". Now, checking again, it seems they've replaced it with another (the only one I want) and guess what... sold out! I can't remember now what else I was looking at (months back) but most of it was "sold out" also. I realise they aren't selling millions but surely they can sort out enough to have a constant stock.

    Anyone else have any experience like this with the "Superstore"? What's it like actually going in? I have no idea when I'll be in Swansea again but I might just pop in next time I'm down.

    I'm surprised as items like that don't take up a lot of room (stock wise), I'm lucky in that I can just pop in but for exiles it must be a pain.
    (I'll swop you one for a Home Centenary shirt :grin:)

    How big is this shop? I've never actually been in :emoticon-0111-blush

    Funny 'innit, you take things for granted when you live there and now I'm in the wilderness I really miss it. Granted, some parts are ****ty, like anywhere else, but the rose tinted specs help in that regard ;)

    Speaking as a buyer, the stock situation is shocking. Someone needs their wrists slapped!
    Maybe they should give me a job....

    I've emailed them about stock replenishment, let's see what they have to say.

    I find the club shop terrible. The level of stock is poor, the price is extortionate and the women working in there are the most miserable bunch of fcukers I have ever encountered. They must be on the blob 24/7.

    That said there is one bloke that works there and he's tidy enough

    To be fair the keyring I wanted is only £2.99. The postage however is £4.95!

    You should have sent Mikra in to sort them out :grin:

    I've always found the on line store pathetic, never anything available. Yet go in the shop and they have stock. <doh>

    It's been said time and again our commercial department is very amateurish.

    Phoned the shop once and after waiting a while, it was answered "we are busy" and they hung up. Not the most professional. They have done a makeover of the actual stock, but didn't bother putting in any changing rooms. With the amount of leisure clothing this would have been a good idea!
