What Our Client’s Are Saying
The salesperson Lisa was amazing to quickly understand what type of shoes I was after. Instead just saying for the sake she herself read the specs and double chcked even after I confirmed thats the material I am looking for. Her small effort of showing care for the customer need helped to decide quick in 2 min and get the shopping done less than 10 min. Many ppl at my workplace are asking me about the shoes. I have recommended them the brand Manuka and the best shop in Perth The Workers Shop for workers gear.
Just purchased a pair of Steel Blue boots, their prices were the best I could find online, free and prompt delivery Perth to Melbourne, can't ask for anything than that.
Always a great experience with 'The Workers Shop'. They have great stock lists and the customer service is top notch! Thanks Nicole for looking after me yesterday. I am all ready for site!
I have been here 4 times now. Every time has been a pleasant experience. Attentive but not pushy, knowledgeable without arrogance. Pretty sure I never dealt with the same person on each visit, so having all the staff being so professional is quite impressive.
Great place, the guy who works the staff member that assisted me on last Saturday was really helpful and with a great attitude
Didn't end up buying but tip top non pushy customer service. Happy to shop there any time
