   Disappointed to see that I walked in store at 3:50 only to have a worker come up to me and say "we're actually closed." I asked, did you guys already close or will you be closing soon. She stated we're already closed. Clock on the wall above till showed it was 10 till 4. I Put what I was browsing at away, didn't make a fuss (although I felt as if she was lying) and left. I had a look online only to see there were a solid 10 minutes left until they were supposed to be closing. Could have gone back in and made a statement. But realized some people lack integrity and are better left to their own devices. Bad for customer service. Do better.

   Understandably the store wishes to make money, however Bric a brac prices were way too expensive for a second hand store, and in many cases, were priced with no relevance to actual value. The selection of books was small and of poor quality.

   Price variation on books ridiculous. Books published over 10 years ago for 15 dollars plus. 18 dollars for a book published in 2019. You don't just get to pull a price out of thin air and stick it on. No consistency or system with pricing.

   Great selection, good prices. But fix those ridiculous potholes! My poor mother nearly had a fit being shaken and thrown about when we pulled out of the store, but she was very happy with the blouse she got.

   Always love stopping at this Waipuna Hospice op shop. Tidy and well presented. Car park needs help though.

   The shop is beautifully presented but unfortunately usually very overpriced. For example a pair of second hand shoes for $40 is outrageous or an old frame for $25. Seems like one of those op shops that is trying to get as much money as possible from each item rather than pricing to sell. It's ironic because selling more fairly to the community members who want to come in and support the cause would actually lead to better fundraising because. No one wants to be ripped off or support that.

   A good larger op shop with a good range of items. Fir me this time I was after some specific books and having them all sorted by author made it much easier to search. I have had success here for clothes and other items as well in the past. Most prices appear fair and reasonable.

   A good little second hand store, lots of variety. The service is always friendly. Can find some real bargains here and occasionally a great item to take home!
