In Excess Avis 

In-Excess - Charlotte's Cafe
We have visited Charlotte's Cafe, Harnham, almost every week for the past eighteen months. It is a lovely Cafe and the staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are always very friendly, cheerful, helpful and efficient. The food has always been very good there too and is good value for money. We have no hesitation in recommending a visit to Charlotte's Cafe, Harnham.

Very good online shopping experience with these guys. Everything safely and considerately packed, and it all arrived quickly. Many thanks. I'll be back!

Excellent product and great quality. Fast delivery. Thankyou.

The own brand black sacks don't tare away easily. I advised a member of staff to be told that's why they are £2.59 for 25. My friend also had a homophobic experience in harnam store. Perhaps they need some customer service training and Diversity training. Disappointed

Prompt, efficient, Polite and professional.
Clearing out the house of a loved one is difficult.
In-excess took a great weight off my shoulders. Thanks to the guys, the office staff and to Steve.

Normally extremely good store
But today 30/1/2026 @ 14.09 they young girl on checkout at fair Oak
Seemed to think she was doing me a favour by serving me

Truly awful. This company sent an actively moth-infested jacket with eggs and casings all over it.

Upon reporting, the company were initially apologetic and assured that a replacement would be sent out. They requested that the original item be sent back - god knows why - and offered to send a PDF or a physical return label in the replacement. I opted for the PDF.

5 days later, I'm told that they still haven't despatched the replacement because they're waiting for the original item to be returned. What?

(FYI - it was sent back the very same day!)

I think Trading Standards should be notified of this two-bit operation. Clearly they employ warehouse pickers who have a complete lack of attention to detail, and warehouse managers that have no idea how to correctly store goods to prevent pests.

Visit the store in Ringwood when passing and it's full of anything and everything for the home and garden. The garden centre is great and we have brought many lovely plants from there. The website is good and the search function is reliable.
Prices across the store are good value and postage for online orders is reasonable. Plant prices are very reasonable and plants excellent quality.

First class service and quick delivery.
The items are quality and the best price... anywhere!

A huge thank you to Tony and Oliver, In-Excess, Ashley Road, Poole who quickly and efficiently went beyond the call of duty to replace the batteries in my bathroom scales. I find this shop so useful. I also bought meter box keys and day before screws. Everyone so helpful. Excellent customer service.

I ordered two pairs of indigo blue socks and received grey ones.

Ordered 2× fence posts.but only one delivered, phoned up the shop and the missing post was delivered within the hour..excellent customer service 👍

I was sent wrong item a basic item was sent when a more costlier and better item ordered and paid for. I can only assume this is not a reputable company at all and a bunch of rogues I am very disappointed

Ex mechanic! Lots of good tools before anyone criticise this post! I've got Milwaukee and snap on kit
I was in this shop in excess! They stock
Cordless tools! Called total.
I have bought friends presents of this kit. This week I got an impact gun. Wasn't too sure about it! But it's as good as my Milwaukee and snap on kit
Staff were amazing as always too!
Nothing too much trouble. Great shopping experience at great prices

Very nice place. Lisa in the restaurant at fairoak is allways very helpful,happy and upbeat which adds that little bit extra and makes it more worthwhile visiting.

Really amazing . The smart led price were so competitive. I save a lot £££.
Thank you .

Friendly and efficient. Really easy to work with and very helpful.

Recently visited Landford garden centre, not impressed with check out operative (am).
The lady was not at all customer friendly, felt she didn't want to be there.

We have recently purchased garden furniture from the Fair Oak store. Sales advisor Tracey was super helpful offering advice and giving us her time regarding our purchase. We took delivery of our furniture yesterday. The delivery team were efficient and also very helpful. We are very pleased with the quality of our furniture and our whole In Excess shopping experience. Would highly recommend.

We visited Charlotte’s restaurant at Landford and found the food excellent and low cost and the staff were really friendly and helpful.
