We like this liquor store because it's local and has friendly staff. The prices are average to other stores but it's the convenience we like and the smiley face! Also nice to shop somewhere that isn't part of a big chain of stores

We purchased all the plants for our backyard here and the price was great. I understand the comments below and where they are coming from, the only 5 star I give is for value as like I said I thought the prices were great. The rest didn't bother me as I didn't have kids with me but can see why that would be a worry.

Oh I just loved my visit here, we went at approximately 31 weeks and got the most amazing photo's of our bub. The sonographer took her time to make sure we got some beautiful face shots, she had me moving around to get the best view. I got 16 printed shots, over 60 shots on a disc and the whole video of the scan for only $150. It was about a 20 minute session and I'd pay it again in a heartbeat. Sonographer was also really enthusiastic about the scan which I thought was really nice considering the amount they would do

Approximate cost: $150

I really love this canvas place, they do some awesome deals. I placed my order and had my canvas within the time frame promised. They were sent all the way to WA and there was no damage at all and I was completely happy with the quality. The lady I dealt with was genuinely nice and helpful and also gave me another special offer to use next time - which I will be using for sure. I found they were much cheaper than other canvas companies (including the big guys like Big W, Harvey Norman etc)

This review is for Babyroad, Myaree WA

This is a great baby shop, I made some small purchases here on the weekend. I actually took some items back to a competitor for a refund as I found them cheaper here however in general I find babyroad a bit expensive. That being said they were more than willing to price match competitors. Staff are really nice, the lady had no issues showing us how to put up and down the 3 different portacots and also explained why she thought one was better over the other (and it wasn't the more expensive one!!). I have been to stores where they hate doing this so it was nice to get someone so helpful. They didn't have in stock an item we needed but offered to order it in and give us a call when it arrived, again much better service than other places who told us to check back in a few weeks to see if it had arrived

Approximate cost: $50

This review is for City Farmers, Cockburn Central WA

This City Farmers store has only recently opened and it's great to have them near us, although there are now 3 pet shops in the same area! This store is HUGE with an awesome range although I was disappointed that they didn't have any of the clam shell pools which is what I wanted to buy my dog for this weather! That being said the staff were helpful and suggested where I might look, they welcomed me and asked if I needed help as soon as I walked in the store which I like as it saves me walking around aimlessly trying to find what I need. I find they are generally the cheapest of the pet stores, especially their own range ie pet beds.

This review is for Pet Magic, Bibra Lake WA

I haven't shopped at pet magic in the past as I prefer pet stores that don't sell cats/dogs etc (ie better pets & gardens, city farmers etc) however I went in to this store as it's close to me and was really impressed with the friendly helpful staff and the huge range they have. They don't stock the food my dog eats but straight away offered to order it in for me even saying that if I want to buy regularly they can order extra so that next time they will have one out the back for me, I thought that was great service. I also signed up to be a member which means I get a 10% discount and when the food is over $125 this saving adds up every time. I was also given free samples of food to try for my dog and recommended certain mind stimulating toys etc. I will shop here again based on the great service.

Approximate cost: $125

I was shopping online for car seat covers for my Holden Cruze, this company was the cheapest for the best quality. I was able to order and pay online very easily and the covers arrived within a few days. I was kept informed of order progress via email etc - thanks!

This review is for Micachinos, Cockburn Central WA

I felt like chips and gravy so went to this cafe after my shopping at big W. The guy that served me wasn't very polite, didn't even speak to me once, just looked at me. Oh he did tell me how much - $5.50 for chips, a tiny amount of chips. I felt like it was a huge rip off, but I don't know probably average these days. The chips weren't fresh. Maybe eating at the cafe rather than take-away would prove a better experience

Approximate cost: $5.5

This review is for Backyard Bins, South Lake WA

verified email - 18 Jan 2013

I emailed this company (after researching for competitive prices online) and they got back to me within 24 hours. I wanted a bin right near new years and they were able to accommodate no worries at all. They were able to deliver when I wanted and pickup when I wanted, also offering extra days at no charge. The person who dropped it off and the person who picked it up were also really nice. I would use again in a heartbeat (but hopefully I don't accumulate so much junk again that I need a skip bin ha ha!)

Approximate cost: $250
