   Today the lovely lady went to the trouble of searching boxes out the back to find what I wanted! Bonus, it was on promotion so cheaper than first thought. Super happy - I will be back! Thank you so much.

   Excellent service. The time from placing an order online to delivery in Papamoa was just under 48hours. Communication was excellent. Thank you.

   Lovely store and great for gifts! Staff are always willing to put time into working out which option will suit me best. Staff have been fantastic at helping me find gifts for people especially when working with different price ranges. So lucky that this store is so central!

   I went in recently and a very kind shop assistant helped me pick out everything I needed. She was incredibly kind and very knowledgeable about products, and I walked away with the perfect set of frying pans and a large pot. Couldn’t have been a better experience.

   Up to my last visit I would have said it's a nice store. Customer service was particularly with main one person otherwise it could be hit and miss. From my last visit I was causally browsing at items on a table that were for sell. Talking to the salesperson she showed me different parts of this lunchbox and what it can do. There was a container you could freeze separately and slot inside to keep the food cold on the good. I asked if it was water tight and this was an important thing for me to ask. I already had a bunch of watertight containers at home of another brand but I liked that I could put different elements dry and wet foods as well as keeping it cold. Unfortunately it wasn't watertight, that morning I had turned the container on its side, just want to check before putting in a leather bag. When I rang in telling what happened and then having to argue that it has to be fit for purpose meaning that you can't sell someone an item like this container, telling them it does something when it clearly does not. She had no interest in refunding me the container despite me explaining her that this container is now no good for me, that I wouldn't have bought it if I had been given a more accurate discription of the product. The only compensation she was willing to offer was store credit of the container. I have spent hundreds of dollars in this store and she has lost a loyal customer for the sake of a $30 container. She was imminent that she wouldn't help pay for the cost of cleaning my leather bag, it's almost like it's my outlook. I was the silly one for trusting the sales pitch. Having worked in customer service myself sometimes a customer doesn't know just how good a business is until something goes wrong. It should have been a genuine opportunity to show how honorable and trustworthy they are and they have ended up showing me the extent of the opposite. If my experience is anything to go buy, be weary when you purchase your next item there.

   Following up on a review I made. When I asked if the timeline was the reason I could only get store credit I was told "something like that" and they never clarified that they had seen that I had only purchased one dinner plate instead of the two and I felt unheard. I understand it's hard right now, but no need to treat me like a Karen. I would have been perfectly happy getting the $85 in cash or on card. I would have even been fine to be turned away and I would have sold it on Facebook marketplace. Thanks

   Terrible policies on refunds. I bought a couple of things from them last year and the services was great, but I didn’t end up using a dinner set that I bought. I brought it back, nothing out of the box, easy to sell again. I showed them a bank statement of the amount I spent and when. They claimed I bought two dinner sets and a can opener, which I didn’t and I told them that, and then only gave me $85 out of $117 I spent in “store credits” because “we usually have it at 50% discount”. I feel like my moneys been held hostage. Not happy

   Great store for homeware, price on the expensive side, great range and selection, from cooking, baking, to kids cutlery. Awesome place for gift ideas too. Highly recommend.
