Gadget shop in Wellington

“I find the staff at Jaycar to be very knowledgeable and really helpful in finding the most suitable products especially for DIY projects. Would definitely recommend visiting this store.”

“Fonecare Mobile Shop went above and beyond, leaving me pleasantly surprised. The salesman didn't simply sell me a car holder. Even a simple car holder, he went the extra mile by showcasing various options, laying out their strengths and weaknesses with the precision of a surgeon's scalpel. Their professionalism and customer service are truly in a league of their own. I would enthusiastically endorse them to anyone in need”

“You can find the smallest of knick knacks, art & craft, simple hardware that you need there. Extremely fun place to be. It is organised enough as a place without being too 'frilly'. Baskets/trolleys for customers available as it is a big warehouse place.”

“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.”

“had lunch in the cafe there served by wonderful staff & also helpful friendly staff in the bookstore - great range of books in all areas”

“Edit: the morning after posting this review, a manager at Service Plus called me to apologize for my experience and immediately resolved my issue. Mistakes and confusion happen, owning it and fixing the issue rarely does—thank you! I've updated this review to 5 stars to reflect how I felt after this was ultimately handled. Original review: I went in with a broken iPhone and dealt with a lovely guy who had me fill out a form, disable Find My and pay $50 for a diagnosis (broken back, broken camera). He confirmed the extent of the damage was such that a full replacement (about $1,400 or so) was warranted. This was fine by me, so I left and filed an insurance claim. Predictably, the insurer wants to see a quote for the price of the replacement, however when I called Service Plus just now, I was instructed to go back to the branch, drop off my phone again, and wait for the diagnostic to be completed—which I've already done. Despite explaining this to two staff members, start to finish, I was told that there's no other path forward than to go back in and repeat what I've already done, and that I 'probably' wouldn't have to pay again. So, I'll need to find another couple of hours to burn getting to the store and waiting for the same answer as before. I wish I could bill them for my time :') Please improve this process (perhaps log more info/a policy to add more thorough notes?) and do better next time Service Plus Yours sincerely, A frustrated customer”

“I have had a few dealings with this store over the last couple of months and spent a lot of money on 3d printers and consumables. Dealt with both the young manager and slightly older sales staff member. Found them both extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. The manager is very accommodating and patient (I had numerous questions that he helped with). I would highly recommend this store. They even have their own parking which in the city is amazing.”

“Very helpful young guy at tye counter. He pointed me to what I needed. All good”

“We love the cafe in this Mitre 10. Their fries are much better than all other Columbus Coffee in town. Apart from the cafe, we look for interesting plants there as well. It never let us down.”

“5 star review for the lovely young Pasifika woman (apologies I didn't catch her name but wanted to make sure she was identified) who assisted me on the 25th of June around approx 5/6pm with my dehumidifier. I brought in my dehumidifier (almost at 2 years old) due to electrical faults and concerns, wanting to check my warranty and if I could get some help. Initially I was assisted by an older lady who misunderstood my request thinking I was after a return/refund, after I had specifically asked for some help with my machine that had sparked when I plugged in & was wanting to know if it was still under warrant and/or if someone could help fix it. She then proceeded to tell me I needed a receipt even after I showed my online contact with Mitre 10 noting the staff could call the shipping store upon arrival to assist and get the receipt details as it was an online order, but she told me to ring the store myself. As I went outside to grab the machine from my car & brought it back in with my daughter, I hear the woman telling the young lady I was after a refund/return which was in fact untrue, I quickly corrected her and this is where the young lady came in and helped me out. As I purchased online there was no physical copy but she was super helpful as I showed her the email contact with Mitre 10 & online details i could provide, The young lady got the initial staff member to call up the shipping store and was just super helpful and sorted it out fast and efficient. Great customer service, attentive, listened to what I needed and I was able to get a replacement as I was still within my 2 year warranty. The difference in service was visible & I think shes a great example of perfect customer service. Thank you very much to this young lady- approachable, super helpful and super happy with the outcome.”

“I love this shop. You must check expiry dates as some of the products are cheap because they are expired. Otherwise, you can find good deals. I go there to buy snacks and household products.”

“Always nice cheap stuff there. A variety too. Young island girl is very helpful and always smiling. This is an awesome place”

“Great shop and service! My favourite local store!”

“Super helpful staff great selection of hardware, garden goods and more. A bit busy on a Saturday but there was even a sausage sizzle on the go - what could be more Kiwi?”

“Pak n Save is handy for a quick shop and I have never found it to be super busy even at the weekend. The produce is good and I like the size selection in the bakery section. It's got a cover over the car park so Great for not getting wet when packing”

“The staff here are so friendly and helpful. I love them. And it's hard to beat the prices though you sometimes can.”

“We were served by a lovely young lady in the paint department who helped us find the right paint to match the small sample we gave her. She was very professional and went out her way to find what we needed. If we could remember her name we would recommend people go see her.”

“Amazing communication when we were waiting for a book to arrive. Super friendly too”

“Patrina went above and beyond, I'm in debt for how awesome her and staff were! Daughter 6 years old bday asked for toy called Furreal Friends Snackin' Sam The Bronto, and she was super helpful in agreeing to help, while I arranged a courier to be shipped for Auckland. I really appreciate her help in making my daughter's day. And she provided the toy at a discounted rate, which was a nice unexpected bonus. Highly recommended, thanks! :D”

“Bunnings Warehouse Porirua is much more than a hardware store; it's the ultimate hub for all home improvement, gardening, and DIY projects in the Wellington area. This store is a cornerstone of the community, consistently delivering a top-tier shopping experience characterized by massive variety, competitive prices, and truly exceptional team member support. The sheer scale of the product range is impressive, covering everything from essential building supplies and high-quality tools to stylish home decor and an extensive outdoor nursery. The user-friendly layout and clear signage help make navigating this mega-store surprisingly efficient, ensuring you can quickly find the exact item you need, whether it's a single lightbulb or a full kitchen renovation kit. What truly elevates Bunnings Porirua is the fantastic staff. They are consistently friendly, highly knowledgeable, and ready to assist with a genuine eagerness to help customers solve problems and find solutions for their projects. Beyond retail, the store demonstrates a strong commitment to the local area, frequently hosting engaging, free workshops—including popular Kids D.I.Y. sessions—that encourage learning and creativity within the community. Coupled with convenient services like Click & Collect, ample parking, and the iconic weekend sausage sizzle, Bunnings Porirua makes home improvement feel accessible and enjoyable. It is highly recommended for professionals and D.I.Y. enthusiasts alike.”

“I think the people who came here and left disappointed and gave a poor review of this place missed the point. I came here for the first time with no expectations and risked paying $10 just to have a look and expecting to find nothing of any interest. But I was really pleased and surprised with the treasures I left with. I highly recommend you have a look yourself.”

“Everything you need (& more) in a modest-sized, well-organised store. Efficient, friendly staff and good quality products.”

“I use the delivery option...the personal shoppers are always very good at substituting items that are out of stock and also when there's free samples, they're good at making judgements and choosing based on the rest of my shopping. The delivery people are very nice too, my dog yells at them but they calm her down by chatting to her through the door. Using the delivery saver is cheaper than it would be for me to travel there and I don't have to carry anything up/down stairs or hills”

“New World is very close to my house and the best place to go shopping to. It has food for years, has food for anything you’re looking to get. They have a good service, very easy shopping with the staff and clearly marked aisles. They have kind chatty staff and the staff can easily help you find what you’re looking for. They never run out of stock, so if what you’re looking for isn’t there, ask staff to get it. New World is definitely one of the greatest shopping markets in NZ.”

“Friendly staff onsite and over the phone were very helpful. Great deals as well in the shop and online.”

“Frequent visitors to this store because of how well catered it is for kids. Our 3 year old had an accident at Bunnings Petone on the weekend and the staff were so incredible - knew the process,everyone helped accordingly and followed up with a phone call later that day and a gift sent via post. Couldn’t have felt better looked after and cared for - thank you team !!”

“This place has heaps of free parking while I grabbed some groceries, I ordered angry chicken from the neighboring takeaway for the first time and it was so delicious.”

“Woolworths is a convenient one-stop shop for all my grocery needs. The stores are clean, well-organized, and usually well-stocked with a good variety of products. I especially appreciate the fresh produce section and the easy-to-use online shopping platform. Prices can sometimes be a bit higher than other stores, but the quality and service make up for it. A reliable supermarket for everyday essentials.”
