The Quadrant Shopping Centre is great as it is indoors and with our lovely welsh weather it is nice…read moreto be in from the wet and cold. There are loads and loads of shops in the Quadrant like HMV, Game , W H smiths , Clinton cards and Debenhams. It can get pretty packed out with shoppers at peak times and especially with the run up to christmas. At christmas there is usually a lovely christmas tree with lots of decorations which make it look really nice. The shopping centre always looks clean and tidy and you will always find a cleaner pottering around.

The Quadrant is like many indoor shopping centres across the UK. It mostly houses chain stores like…read moreHMV, Clarks, WHSmiths, Faith and so on and so forth. Shops you find in every town in Britain. The Quadrant itself is quite pleasant though, it has a predominently glass roof which allows it to be very bright and airy inside. There's a gallery cafe which looks out on to the main concourse of the shopping centre which is great for people watching. The bus station also comes out of one end, so finding it is very easy, and also you won't have far to carry bags to get a bus. Or even to get to your car if you choose to park in the NCP which also adjoins the Quadrant. You can also get to Swansea Market via an entrance in the Quadrant. The largest store by far is Debehams, which is a large department store and takes up almost an entire wing of its own. ANECDOTE: I was sick on the doors of Debehams one Christmas as I was shopping for presents and very rapidly came down with a virus. There are public toilets (free) upstairs which are clean and well maintained. The buidling is decorated according to the seasons, and a large Christmas tree is the focus during the winter.

I like this branch of Marks and Spencers!…read more It's only a small branch, but has a good range of women's, men's and children's clothes. They also sell a good range of food and drink. Obviously you won't get the same choice that you'd get in a branch in a larger town or city, but they stock a good range in a variety of sizes. I'd agree with Jane-Elizabeth - the staff in M&S are exceptionally friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. Something I love there at the moment - their dine in for £10 deal, which runs every other weekend up until Christmas. For £10 you get a main course and side dish, dessert and a bottle of wine. Great if you want to spoil yourself and have an evening out of slaving over a hot stove!

A fairly small branch but very good nevertheless. The best thing about M&S is its present movement…read moretowards ethical trading. They have pledged to increase their use of trade-fair, environmentally sustainable items (that are not tested on animals) as part of their new image. The clothes are good quality but a bit expensive for me; however, their range of toiletries is marvellous and not particularly expensive. The big bottles of coconut milk, and cocoa butter and vanilla, body lotion (300 ml) are gorgeous and only £1 each! I thought that was a mistake when I saw them first. There are really lovely gifts on offer this year too (leading up to Christmas as I write this), with lovely packaging - especially the scented toiletries and also children's toys and games. Of course, all branches of M&S will sell all these things, not only the one in Neath (but that's the branch I was in today)! I was struck by the helpfulness of the staff when I asked where something was; they are trained well in customer service.

Tk Maxx is located on the Morfa retail park , it is a huge shop with 2 floors…read more On the ground floor you will find ladies and mens clothing , bags , shoes and gifts. On the upper floor you will find babies and kids clothing , toys , books , homewares. You can find some good bargains if you have the time to hunt around the store , I find it a little big and at times impossible to find what I am looking for. The quality of the clothing is very good and is not badly priced. There can sometimes be long queues but the checkout staff try and open up as many tills as possible

I found that everything had been packed really well, the items were really nice and they are selling well. On the odd occasion when I have had a problem the lovely customer service staff dealt with it efficiently, politely, promptly and friendly. I am quite fussy as I am a retired customer service assessor, but I must say I was very impressed with this company. I would recommend them.

Buyers Be Warned !!! They LIED To Us Multiple TImes…read more These people gave us our most horrible online buying experience. If you are a buyer and need a business which you can trust, a business which delivers their promises and which does not LIE to you, then go look to shop somewhere else Here is our experience with them: 1. While they promise great packaging, they sent us 4 boxes filled with mason jars and only one box arrived safe. They had opened that one box and filled it with white chips and then closed it so it arrived safe. The other three boxes were sent bare and with no white chips inside nor wrapping outside!!! Therefore they arrived with broken jars!!! They sent glass with no wrapping!!! Nothing!!! So shocked until now by the brain they have!! 2. We immediately emailed them and were IGNORED for 2 WEEKS!!! We had to send a follow-up email 3. Their Customer Care Manager finally replied to us and immediately promised us either: A. Credit or B. Send box of replacements to us 4. We requested the second option and the next day she told us she had the replacements picked and she even went further to tell us the replacements would be sent to us THAT SAME DAY. Few hours later, she emailed and asked us to split the shipping cost!!! WHAT??? 5. We refused and we did offer our best to help find a much cheaper quote with the courier we use (65% cheaper), which will come to less than their half she was implying they were willing to pay, consequently saving them money!!! 6. She, out of nowhere, replied to our offer with: "I am afraid we have to refund for the damaged items."!!! That is it!!! She went straight from replacements, supposedly on their way to us, to just refund!! Can you deliver a promise? And can you lie less? 7. We talked to their Director but he was just useless. He was not willing to pay £35 to ship the replacements with our courier and fix their mistakes. He implied that this amount of money would cause a loss to their business!!!! (The kind of person interested only in short-term and self benefit) But he really did not care for our business where we are losing over £750!!! And will be stuck with their stupid items Dealing with their business was just horrible, on all levels from bottom to top, from the stupid packer, to the fake and sneaky customer service manager to the selfish director. Waste of time and money. If we were in the U.K. we would still be asking for replacements, and we believe they would have found themselves obligated to send replacements. But since we are overseas our hands are tight and they chose to basically not care P.S. To your fake customer service, DO NOT reply to this review and pretend that you are compassionate and want to resolve the issue bla bla. Do not lie no more. We have seen enough fake. You lied to us and we did our best to have this issue resolved but you chose to show who you really are!! Nothing but ruthless scumbags and you know it! We have all the proof and would be willing to show it. Their behaviour is not welcome in any regarded community

Marks and Spencer lately has been doing an offer of £10 every other weekend for what they call a…read moremeal for two including wine, dessert and side dish. It has been widely advertised but I would say anyone interested needs to carefully shop within the offer, depending on your choices you can get save over £10 or as little as £2. If you shop within the offer carefully it ends up as a meal for 4, large chickens have been part of the offer sometimes and ready meals that serve 4 plus they had a great cheese board in the offer last time but by lunchtime on the Saturday no cheese boards were left or restocked on sunday. Unfortunately the most expensive items in the offer do sell out very quickly and sometimes, at least in the Swansea shop, they run out of side orders and desserts making the offer no longer available early on in the day.

Marks and Spencer on Oxford street in Swansea is quite a large store and does have a food store…read moreincorporated. Prices are high and I do find the selection of clothes a little boring and aimed at the older person. The food they sell is lovely but dont expect to be able to do a weeks shop here as they just dont stock enough range. Its worth noting that they dont sell anything other than their own brands. Also remember that if your buying lots of food you have to walk it all back to the car and since this store is in the middle of Swansea then that may be quite a walk. They do do good 3 for 2 offers on xmas pressies so look out for them.

This is the Neath branch of Next, with a selection of their men's, women's and children's clothes…read more The shop is relatively small, so don't expect the full range of clothes that you may find in larger towns and cities. It's located on two floors - menswear is upstairs. However, I've always found them to stock a good range of sizes, and the staff are very helpful. If you want to order a particular size or something from their catalogue, they'll help you and you can have it instore in a couple of days. I may be a bit biased - I'm a bit of a Next addict, and I could spend most of my money here!

I finally had a browse round here the other day and was pleasantly surprised. It's a large store…read morewith a lot on offer, nothing over £1 in price, and many things which are good quality - not the rubbish I'd expected if I'm honest! You'll find many things for the car, home and garden, a large range of toys and party goods, stationery, batteries, gifts, confectionery, and much more. There are nicely packaged gift bags of Potpourri for £1 (which will cost five times that amount in M&S) and many other nice, small, gifts. The CD and DVD cases are very good value as well. There are also many recognised brands, including Cadbury, Mr Sheen, Flash, Colgate, and many others. My only criticism is that it's a very busy store (that's why I hadn't been in sooner) and you have to queue for a while. Definitely worth a look though. Why pay more?

Very good prices - cheaper than some of the nearby places like B&Q etc. I find it useful for lampshades, bathmats/towels and electric plugs and the like - and women's tights are surprisingly good quality and FAR cheaper then anywhere else I've found!

Not sure if Sarah P actually left the Quadrant...Swansea also has an M&S and BHS, which I my memory…read moreserves me right are both department stores...and of course it'll be smaller than Cardiff...most stores in Wales outside of Cardiff ARE small. Anyway, Debenhams. I do like it, especially during the final days of their Blue Cross sale, when things go buy one get on free. Because of this, I managed to buy 4 bras for the princely sum of £12 - two of them the fairly pricey Miss Ultimo bras. I was impressed. I could spend ages in Debenhams, and more so now that the Benefit counter has expanded to include an eyebrow bar - now if the one in Leeds could just follow along with that, it'd be much appreciated!
