Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- SunderlandcatSunderland, UK115 contributionsMy daughter and I were in Manchester for a concert, and we wanted to spend some time shopping in the city centre before heading home, as we had already done both the Trafford and Arndale Centres.
My daughter loves alternative style and we found Afflecks courtesy of google and google maps.
I had intended on hitting the road before 3pm, however finding such an aladdins cave of absolute treasures, and a lovely cafe upstairs, there was no way we were heading back to the North East anytime soon, or empty handed!!!
Badges, posters, pictures, jewellery, you name it Afflecks had it, such a myriad of alt shops with such a huge range of merchandise which we haven't found elsewhere, my daughter was in her element.
The cafe had a lovely vibe to it, the staff were friendly and welcoming and the food delicious.
We would love a return trip to Manchester, we both felt very safe and my daughter especially felt at ease as an LGBTQ+ teen with severe anxiety.
Wish we had gone found Afflecks before our Melanie Martinez gig, we'd have been sorted for all our concert needs - next time
My purse and plastic need a much needed break !Written 24 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The staff are all very friendly and passionate about their job. The shop itself is very well set out and the staff are always keen to help in directing you to shirts or answering queries. Highly recommend even going for a look round if your a football fan.Written 16 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Miss B17 contributionsI was really looking forward to visiting web2b in Liverpool, but left feeling very deflated and disappointed.
I wanted to try a particular dress I had seen on the website to be told they didn’t have it in store. Nor did they have anything similar.
We didn’t get an opportunity to look through any of the dresses ourselves and I was handed dresses to try, by the sales assistant. She stayed with me the whole time whilst I was getting unchanged, and gave me no privacy whatsoever. I didn’t actually mind this, but I felt like I wanted time with my family to discuss the dress without being listened to.
I actually found a dress I quite liked. However, it had make up on it and it didn’t fit quite right. Surprise surprise, they didn’t have it in my correct size.
I nearly said yes to this dress, but the make up and the poor fit made me hesitant. The sales assistants kept encouraging that after having alterations, it would fit fine. But, I just didn’t quite feel that was true.
After decided to leave the dress, the sales assistants because quite pushy. All of a sudden, there were 5 of them complimenting me (which was very lovely of them!) but it felt very false and pushy. Once I got changed into my own clothes, they kept repeating that once I walk away, the dress will go back on the rails and may sell - I was ok with this.
At the end, the manager (I think) asked our sales assistant if she could show my dress to another bride. I work in sales - I know this was a sales technique to try and apply pressure to me. This actually put me off buying from them.
So all in all, very disappointed and would not recommend.
Also, side note you’re not allowed any drinks or food. We asked for a cup of tea, which was refused.Written 9 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
