Last minute shopping
I visited the store late one evening for some last minute shopping for a trip the following day. Eric and Lea were so friendly, helping me find all the items I needed and making the experience of panic buying more enjoyable me and less stressful than I anticipated. Thank you both!

I visited Blacks in Aintree today and received excellent service and got what I needed.
I visited Blacks in Aintree today looking to buy a base layer t shirt. There was a large variety of products and sizes to choose from and the staff made themselves available to help. Abbie was very helpful and made herself available for a friendly chat whilst doing her other duties while I had a bit of a wait for the changing room. She put a smile on my face whilst I was waiting and helped me but exactly what I wanted. She above and beyond what you'd expect and little things like that make a difference. Especially when she was hard at work and and everyone else is enjoying the weather. Made up with my purchase and the service I received.

Excellent service
I’d been trying for over a month to buy a tent carpet and tent footprint from other retailers that were running a promotion, but without any success. I popped into Blacks today, and the customer service was outstanding. Eric was incredibly helpful; after I explained the difficulties I’d been experiencing, he took the time to make the necessary enquiries and was pleased to let me know that they could match the price. His assistance and professionalism made the whole experience hassle-free. Blacks will definitely be my first choice next time I need something.
