Primark Is Overpriced For The Service & Quality

I popped in to Primark on Boxing Day, hoping to find some bargains but was out of luck. It's overpriced for the quality of product and the service you receive. It's not worth it. Looked at the homeware section at blankets, £30 for a medium sized one. Clothes wise, cheapest reductions for tops was £10, some jackets were £55! They used to have some great bargains but not anymore. The experience in store has gone downhill too, my local one has more queues now because they have put self service card only tills in and closed the upstairs tills, meaning long queues downstairs. Out of 7 tills, only three were being operated. They are charging Next prices for a discount store service. I've noticed the clothes don't wear as well as they used to either, the stitching isn't as good and the duvets there are laughable.

Yep. It’s not cheap any more. Clothing hasn’t improved.

It was so cheap when I was a teen. I wont shop there now as their clothes cost the same as other clothes shops now, if not more & the quality hasnt improved

I still think it is cheap - they just have more range and a few more expensive items.

I bought my daughter a sweatshirt and joggers recently and the bobbling is shocking!
I ended up recycling the fabric after 2 washes as they looked so awful.
a waste of my money and the resources of the planet!

If Primark sold all of its products for 1p they'd be overpriced. They are disposable tat. I'm not sure why you'd expect otherwise. Buy less stuff and better quality and pay what it costs to produce without involving child labour.
