“Warm, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent customer service and always happy to help. Garry the Pharmacist was absolutely wonderful and I was so grateful for his help. They all work so hard and we are lucky to have such a great pharmacy nearby. 5* team!”

“Love this chemist. Love the service. My brother took my 84 year old Mum for her booster on Saturday morning and got so much attention she actually enjoyed the experience. I went with my husband and son in the afternoon and was equally impressed by the service. Highly recommend. Thanks so much.”

“Amazing service, the ladies who helped me with my elderly father were wonderful. Very accommodating & so friendly. Thank you so very much for helping us through a stressful morning.”

“Oh keep me away. Specials are fantastic even if you don't want them!! Good deals.”

“My family and I drove here from out of town after a horrendous experience with a terrible, arrogant pharmacist and we are so glad we came here! Not only are the products affordable but the pharmacist who helped us was so lovely and helpful (unlike the one that was so arrogant in the town some 180km away). The pharmacist was so patient and spent so much time helping us even though she seemed quite busy, I think she was the manager but she took us to look at multiple options and explained them all so we could pick the right product Also feeling so so sorry for what they have to deal with. While we were there some horrible man was yelling at the staff blaming them for something that sounded very much like the guys own fault. And based on the reviews too. Some people really just dont understand how things work. Of course ID's have to be physical, anyone can present a digital/photo of one...thought this was common sense. Another one...it can't really be their fault if they havent got your prescription, it's your own responsibility to follow that up, how rude to expect them to do it for you. Also most companies who hire guards/bouncers source them through other companies so how is it the pharmacy's fault who they get as a guard? Shouldn't complain via a review about a guard but to the company the guard works for probably Honestly many of the people complaining about being treated like they're dumb do sound dumb... Give this pharmacy's staff a raise especially with all the idiots they seem to have to deal with yet they still provide great service. We will definitely be back and will recommend them to others”

“Today my daughter and I went to Life Pharmacy in Riccarton for our flu vaccinations. We had a wonderful experience, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the nurse who administered our vaccines. I’m truly sorry and a little regretful that I didn’t get her name—but she is, by far, the best nurse I’ve ever met. My daughter has always been very afraid of injections, and today she was extremely anxious. But this nurse showed extraordinary patience and used incredibly effective techniques to guide my daughter through the process smoothly. Afterward, my daughter kept telling me, “Mum, I really like that nurse—she’s the best nurse in New Zealand!” I hope that by leaving this 5-star review, I can help pass on the kindness she gave us to others as well. We are so grateful to have met her—what a blessing and a privilege it was.”

“Went in for a vaccination, didn’t even get to mentioning my needle anxiety, Micah brought the needle in discreetly palmed and it was over and done with before I realised it had even happened! Highly recommend.”

“I am often followed around and approached multiple times while shopping but that hasn’t happened to me here before. I am always greeted when I walk in and then I am able to browse peacefully until I find something I would like to purchase. It’s also never too busy which is good for me as I have a young daughter and often need to take the pram into shops with me.”

“Very tidy and clear aisles. Staff super busy. At prescription counter staff all heads down working. Phone ringing and attempts made to answer it between servings customers. The man who served me was lovely”

“We have enjoyed many years of wonderful service from friendly and helpful staff.”

“Excellent products, and prompt service. I used to have to wear support bandages on my knees, and use a walking stick to get around, even then with considerable discomfort. A friend introduced me to Koru FX, and after using it for only a short time I was able to move more freely, with less pain and no longer had the need for the support bandages, or the walking stick. I have not used either aids since. I have also tried Koru FX Pro, and found that very effective too. If you have joint pain I recommend you give one of these a try.”

“Staff are beautiful and kind and berry knowledgable they know all the info about my medication. Wonderful experience 10 out of 10”

“Free prescription which is what everyone likes. There is usually a decent line and quite busy during peak hours. Its a good idea to phone in and ask for them to get your prescription ready. The store itself has a decent range of products for your pharmaceutical needs.”

“The pharmacist working on Sunday night was the most helpful pharmacist I have ever dealt with. So helpful and kind. A credit to bargin chemist.”

“I went to the pharmacy two days ago to get medication for my mother, and honestly the place is excellent and the service is extremely good. I was welcomed by a male staff member who was very friendly, kind, and helpful, with an excellent medical background. I can see a big improvement in the staff, as it’s clear he is new to the place, and the pharmacist on duty was also very, very cooperative.”
