The Peter Ross shop is very competitive considering that it isn't part of a large chain. You…read moreappreciate this as soon as you walk in. The owners offer a personal service, and it really feels like they are there to help you find what you are looking for, not buy the most expensive item in the shop. You are treated equally well, whether you've come to buy an HD ready TV, or a 3.5 m telephone extension. I like this shop because they havn't forgotten about customer service.

Here you get friendly and professional personal service, they really are customer focused. They have a really wide selection of TV's, DVD players etc, probably the widest selection in the area. Prices displayed are usually slightly higher than the big chains but once you start chatting with staff they are usually happy to give a discount.

They do go out of stock sometimes on popular products but this is to be expected.

I have to say the way this was dealt with was disgraceful given the size of the company. They refused to give the name of the MD and left no option but to issue court proceedings. Best to keep away from using this company, they are also very overpriced but have a good range. always check the price on-line, you will always find cheaper suppliers.

After a week my partner rang for an update on the phone, she was told that it couldn't be fixed, yet previously he said it could. When my partner picked the phone up the owner conveniently took the receipt off her and passed the phone back saying no it can't be fixed, on top of this the phone had been damaged further (the screws were damaged, the battery cover didn't fit back on and an electronic contact had been snapped off rendering the phone useless also the volume key was missing. Me and my partner visited the shop on the 10th April (A.M) to resolve this issue and we were told that ' this phone was never taken to the shop ' and he didn't have a clue what we were on about. This trader has been reported to trading standards and they have given us instructions and advice on resolving this issue. I would just like to add we are a couple in our 40's and don't have a habit of trying to get people in trouble but this is a really disgusting and incompetent way to treat the paying public.

The staff knowledge is good however they're pushy and pounce on you when you walk in, some training would help. A simple hello is good enough, I'm sure they do it to put off thieves but it puts off genuine customers too. The store is well laid out and easy to navigate but if you can't find what your looking for the staff will point you in the right direction. Keep an eye out for the clearance lines, you'll see them dotted around the store and there are some good deals to be had, especially if you're happy to have the last model rather than the latest model.

Not nearly as you might hope it's going to be, Allkinds seems to have set itself up as a sort of…read moreodds-n-sods, charity shop type store for electrical and audio goods. Of course the only - and I will go as far as to say major - drawback to this type of store is that it is rare that electrical goods will be the type of thing you will want to pick up from a charity/second hand store. It's not snobbery or a need to keep with the constantly rapid changes to electrical goods that causes this but simply that these goods don't really last that long. It may be that they're not built to last - as everyone now knows from the need to upgrade your mobile every year or 2! - but often it is usually the software or hardware that you need to use with these items. Of course you can see Allkinds as some sort of Be Kind Rewind thrift store for the analogue junkies who wish to preserve the beauty of tapedecks and 8 tracks in valiant attempt to stave off the digital onslaught. There is a growing number of people seeking out analogue gems in order to play their old mixtapes and being a vinyl fan I totally agree but be warned I am yet to find anything in such a store that will work well or not need a little work. However that is often the beauty of hunting down these items.

There aren't many places left in Liverpool or indeed even in the country which still stock and sell cassettes and vinyl's but it is nice to see that there are some places with real passion which are not letting this fantastic trade die. The selection inside was astounding with music from various different eras and even such classics as BBC sound effects albums last seen on an episode of Father Ted I believe. The owner of the shop could not have been more friendly as he indulged me naive requests and questions regarding old music as I was desperate to find out as much information as I could. Even though this place could do with a bit of a refurbishment there is no cause for complaint from me. It is like stepping into a simpler world and for a few minutes you can browse the store and forget the mayhem outside and if you have a cassette of vinyl player you might bag yourself a bargain.
