the-e-dealer Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Yes if you buy from Naked wines they will send you a voucher. If you dont use it they will assume acceptance of it means you wish to pay them ?20 a month. THey told me when I complained that its all above board and approved by the ASA!

reddulwich Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Interesting reading some of the comments here.Tell you what, why stop at shutting Iceland, any shop that somebody earning less than ?30k uses must be shut immediately and replaced by a deli, or perhaps a shop selling huge overpriced buggies made out of organic veg. Come on people, if Iceland didn't make any money, it would shut. As it does, people of all social classes must be using it. Why should people be forced to shop in wall to wall William Rose and Waitrose. I kind of assumed that people who lived in East Dulwich, wouldn't be so right of centre and snobby.No wonder this forum made it into the Guardian diary for those bonkers comments about a Waitrose during the riots.

Plus they hook you in via a scheme which seems to be good value but actually isn't.It's not often I can't force something down, but I had to throw some of their wine away because it was undrinkable.I keep meaning to complain to Heals, but now all and sundry seem to be giving away their vouchers.Sorry admin, off topic.

HR Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Iceland serves a purpose on the high road as not everyone can afford to buy food from M&S and Waitrose. there are enough over priced food shops on lordship lane now and something a bit more affordable in a recession is needed for those people not propped up on high salaries or banking bonuses!

No keystone cops though please.I hope they splash a lick of paint on the outside though or festoon the wire protection nets with banners and flags. That would be cool. Maybe Iceland could do the same and lighten the mood of the earnest shoppers.

DulwichFox Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 People who claim to dislike Iceland seem to have an Over-rated Sense of Importance. It would seem that to them, that shopping there is below them. Well, they need to get over it. Unlike some other outlets, Iceland has the survived the Test of Time by providing the kind of service that many people want. Fox.

jojo123 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Brushing aside all the 'ghetto' jokes I shop in mostly all the shops in LL including Iceland Point to note - the staff in Iceland are amazing ! They say hello , thankyou and are actually very pleasant and welcoming .Some of the staff in the so called 'upmarket' shops on LL would be wise to visit this store and see good customer service ! Go in there and see for yourselves! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13822-iceland-eyesore/page/10/#findComment-499695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I like having Iceland there. The staff there really are lovely - the manager let my son use the staff toilet when he was dying to go the other day, then when they overheard us talking about his birthday gave us a free cake to say happy birthday. I like having at least one shop on Lordship Lane i can get a bit of a bargain, not that I don't appreciate how nice and lovely (but expensive) the other shops are.

MsDulwich Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I agree the staff in Iceland are AMAZING! Especially one guy who bought a shopping basket over to me when he thought I was struggling. It's nice to see good old-fashioned customer service with a smile.

Nero Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Iceland is great for good value basics - cream, tinned fruit, frozen prawns, spuds, bananas, baked beans, olive oil, milk etc. It's not that busy, the staff are friendly and efficient and the shelves are always well stacked.

Iceland is very good value for a lot of things - (not the turkey twizzler kind of food that some people seem to assume is all it sells)..Unfortunately it's often more convenient to do one large shop in one place, eg S********s, even if it turns out more expensive, because they have more of the stuff I need to stock up on regularly.
