“I didn’t catch the names but had amazing service from the 3 lovely ladies working at Lulu on Lambton this morning, had the seam rip in my tights and they easily swapped me out with a brand new pair. Absolute legends! xxx”

“Kyra was so helpful In helping me find the right items I was after. She even held my items whilst she gave me suggestions. Very knowledgeable on the rain jackets and tents. Now my family and I are all set ready to go camping for Waitangi. Amazing service saw me as a person rather than a sale. A role model manager! Thank you again”

“Staff at this store are one of its best assets There is a pool of staff members who have been here for years and they never seem to tire giving great customer service. .I often see them helping older people etc with such care and patience. If something isn’t quite right it’s not a problem to help Well done guys. It’s one of the reasons I shop at Woolworth Karori.”

“⭐ Excellent Service at Kmart! I went to Kmart to exchange an item but had lost my receipt. Chinnu was incredibly helpful — she went the extra mile to find my transaction even though I had the wrong date. Her patience and dedication made the whole process so easy. Super service — thank you, Chinnu!”

“Just want to say thank you so much to the young girl on security this afternoon around 5pm. She was super helpful, i had my baby as well as a full trolley and some chairs and other items to carry to my ute. She willingly helped me without having to be asked and did it all with a smile on her face. Big ups to her, 10/10 customer service.”

“Would highly recommend purchasing from Elite Fitness. Brilliant service and with a fantastic range of equipment. Very knowledgeable and asked all the right questions to understand my needs. I would certainly buy from them again. Shout out to David who put up with all my questions with a smile at all times!”

“Lewis and Amon helped me to find the shoe I wanted in the right size, and were very helpful and communicative throughout the whole process! I was also impressed at the efficiency at which this was done with such great customer service.”

“Coffee Outdoors is the absolute best! I love that Shev and the team stock the gear they genuinely use and love, it feels like getting a trusted recommendation from a friend. Beautiful, high-quality gear, outstanding customer service and the fastest overnight shipping!”

“I was using another bike shop close to home for things from time to time. Decided to head across town and into Get Lost Cycling for a fork and shock service. The travel and time it took to get there was totally worth it as the team down there were amazing with their advice and service. Definitely changing bike shops now. Highly recommend this bike shop. Friendly staff with great knowledge. Bike come back running mint.”

“The team were eager to help and let me take multiple test rides which helped me feel comfortable making my purchase. I’ve just had the 6 month service and it’s back to riding like a dream. I’ve only had positive experiences all the times I’ve been in to both the Petone and Wellington stores.”

“These guys are awesome. Friendly, super helpful and knowledgeable. They sorted my broken (by a tree) roof rack out for me - no problem. Amazing service!”

“Camilla, our Open Water Instructor at Dive HQ Dive Center Wellington, was absolutely fantastic! She was patient, kind, and maintained the perfect balance between seriousness and fun. There was never any pressure to meet requirements immediately—she guided us with great communication and a deep understanding of divers' concerns, both in the pool and the ocean. The entire experience was enjoyable and confidence-boosting. Dive HQ Wellington was also a great dive center, making the whole learning process even better. Highly recommend both Camilla and Dive HQ!”

“These guys know their stuff! Really helpful and on the ball to help wherever they can. A bit more expensive than their competition (sometimes) but I'm more than happy to pay the difference due to their excellent service. They also have a great returns policy. Also the more you buy the greater discount you get, so consider that when comparing retailers. Went there to buy some football boots this time and very happy with the purchase after a lot of patience on their behalf trying on many different options. Please support our local, high quality traders like Shoe Clinic! Definitely recommend.”

“I really love their products. They have very friendly and helpful staff as well to attend to enquiries via email, phone and text. I got my bokkens from their shop. It's hard to come by the a bokken made of Kamagong Wood and I found it here.”

“An absolutely amazing store to do business with. There products are high quality at awesome prices. I brought 2 pairs of DVS shoes, they didnt fit my big goofy feet, the Bro Olly at Empire Skate was the most kind and helpful person at talking me through a super easy exchange process so i could return the shoes in exchange for a larger size. Amazing communication thankyou Olly and such a pleasure to deal with. Empire Skate most definitely has me as a satisfied and happy customer for life, i will be making many more purchases from your store. Appreciate you all. A huge big shoot out to the bro Olly, i can not thankyou you enough. Many thanks, Josh”

“There is a very wide variety of equipment related to guns, outdoor sports, hunting and fun for the entire family. Service was great, very kind, professional and helpful. Thank you very much and I will definitely come back.”

“I've gone into this store a bunch over the year and a half that I've jumped back into cycling (daily commuter, on a fixed gear/single-speed). These guys really know what they're doing, charge decent prices, are very polite, and are very quick. I think the closest thing I'd have to a criticism is that they don't appear to have as much fixed/track bike parts and knowledge, but honestly not every shop can do everything. I cannot remember his name, but the American mechanic is really onto it.”

“Shout out to these guys. They fixed an annoying creak on my Fuel Exe which is quite well documented across the interwebs. The bike shop I bought it from didn't know about this issue but PP did so I took it to them and now it is creak free :). Definately be back here for future purchases as I previously didn't know they existed in Wellington. TVM PP.”

“Fantastic e-bike rental shop. Hugely knowledgeable staff and excellent quality rental bikes”
