I was disappointed to find no Salomon trainers for sale (after 2 visits) at Blacks Newport IOW. However the salesman was very helpful and suggested I order some on-line and assured me I could return them to the shop if they were not suitable. However the trainers arrived and are great!

Absolutely lovely people

Absolutely lovely people - we had to return an item that we'd had delivered with a part missing, the staff in the shop were lovely, they took the 1 back and ordered another item for us = collected and this time was exactly as it should have been.

Thank you to Michelle & The Team

Thank you so much to Michelle and all the team for the great customer service from ordering our tent with you through to delivery. I will now always go into Blacks for camping equipment rather than shopping in other places or online. There was a problem with the distribution centre delaying delivery but fortunately Michelle knows the importance of excellent customer service and ensured great communication throughout and done whatever she could to speed up delivery. It certainly helped, Thank you!!! :) we cant wait to go camping.

We've recently had a van conversion into a campervan and have bought several items for the van in Blacks. The staff have always been very helpful and cheerful 😊. We were served by Michelle the other day and she was as happy and helpful as ever 😀 I would recommend Blacks very highly 😀.

Small changing room

Hubs popped into Blacks to pick up a pair of lightweight trousers in the sale. Service and everything was fine, small changing room and we had to wait a while before we could get in. Otherwise ok
