In-Excess - Salisbury Store

Excellent prices for all kinds of products - from ironmongery, cleaning products, stationery, garden stuff and everything inbetween. My kids call it 'the dinosaur shop' because of its famous life size dinosaur models (which 'come alive' if you put in £1). Well worth it to stock up on the basics and more

Good diverse stock. Staff always helpful. Fun place to just browse, or buy. Excellent coffee shop too :-)

I really like in excess. We live in Salisbury so close to their main store and garden centre and we'll normally get most hardware or garden products from here. The main store isn't huge but makes the most of inside and outside space. Out the front is mostly pallets of garden supplies, compost, pots furniture, gravel, slabs etc and then out the back is the wood yard. Inside is a huge variety of things. They have a great loose fixings counter, tons of boxed fixings, household cleaning, tools section with everything from saws, axes, drill bits, power saw bits etc. There's a garden aisle, home section and paint and decorating area. There's also lots of bulbs and lighting equipment as well as some limited items for your car and fishing. There is also a small but well priced cafe on site. In the car park are some pretty amazing dinosaur models that come to life when a pound is put in the box and that's all for the local stars appeal. I've rated four star only because what is stocked can sometimes be quite random. This is understandable as it's the nature of their business. Most of the time there are items you can guarantee will be there, however things in the wood yard (for example) change around fairly regularly so sometimes you're not sure what you'll find. Staff are always helpful and there seems plenty on hand. Overall a great shop and one I'd recommend highly.

I have to say that the staff there are nothing short of amazing. Special thanks to Sally (manager I think ) and a lady called Katy and to the unknown member of staff who helped with my wood oil problem. It is all resolved. More firms should employ people who are willing to help. Merry Christmas.

Good place to pick up a bargain. Also their garden centre a quarter of a mile up the road towards Wilton had some Christmas lights in stock unlike most shops at the moment!
