Products out of stock and security tighter than airport

published

I was looking for two hair products, they had neither on stock yet the security guard wanted to check my bag twice after even seeing I did not walk around the store just spoke to a sales person..this security is ridiculous!went to Priceline and found the products even cheaper and received great customer service something that is non existent in chemist warehouse! Avoid chemist warehouse

Disappointing service

published

Big airy store, lovely staff, but very rude pharmacist who questions prescriptions, and doctor's instructions in a very arrogant condescending manner. Great range of products, great prices but not great service at the chemist counter and sadly after 3 separate incidents and witnessing more than a few incidences toward other undeserving people I have decided that I shall no longer shop there. It's one of two Corio stores this one is opposite Aldi on the Princes hwy, Geelong,Vic.

Disgusting and manner-less behavior of security guards in 592 Elizabeth St, Melbourne 3000 store

published

The product I needed to buy was not available in this store and on my way out of the shop a manner-less security guard wanted to check inside my handbag. If they need to look into ladies handbags, they have to keep a lady at the door. Since, I didn't want to behave rudely I still opened and showed him inside my handbag.
I didn't forget to mention to that security guards face their actions are disgusting. Yet, I hope it doesn't make any difference for those ill-mannered people.
Very poor customer service and prices are not much different from other pharmacies.
Will not shop at chemist warehouse again.

50% price increase

published

I have been buying Blackmore's triple omega for over a year for under $30. I buy it monthly so am very aware of price fluctuations. This year the price jumped to $45.99. That's very unreasonable.

Bad customer service at Rocklea with refund policy shown on receipt up to 7 days for refunds

published

I had purchased the wrong fragrance in less than half an hour And had tried to refund my purchase but the customer service and said they wouldn’t refund it and yet the receipt said you could refund fragrance within 7 days. They had brought in the retail manager to help discus the problem but he also said no refunds. Never going there again !!!

Poor customer service

published

Terrible customer service

published

Chemist might be the cheapest for perscriptions but the service is extremely slow and staff ask personal questions about your health when 12 people are standing around listening. I tried SMS service to speed things up and this made no difference. Still very slow and inefficient

Similar issue as disbelief

published

I bought some protein powder from a Chemist Warehouse in Brisbane and after discussing the powder with someone I knew they said it was the wrong one.

I took it back the same day still sealed and was told there was no refund even those the protein powder was not fit for the purpose I bought it for (which is a good enough reason for a refund) but after I ask them why there was no refund they eventually gave me a refund.

And I don't think no I know I won't get a response from Chemist Warehouse here as I contacted them through their website and through their Twitter account to find out why they advertise on the Alan Jones radio show and still got no response months later.

Don’t accept refund for vitamins???? Why not?

published

Their policy states they will not accept returns for vitamins. Isn’t this against consumer law. The product I purchased is unopened and was purchased in error. There goes $30. Big companies don’t care about consumer satisfaction.

A bit hectic at times but always reliable

published

I have been shopping at Chemist Warehouse for years, and my local Chatswood store (there are three, but I'm referring mainly to the small one up near the train station) has always been reliable, with friendly, really helpful staff. Occasionally I'll get an item cheaper somewhere else, but mostly their prices are great.

Why send from Sydney when its in stock in Perth

published

I ordered some common items that I have always been able to find instore online just so it could get delivered to my mother. A couple of days it said. 14 days later and no product. Had to go and buy them again somewhere else. Any online I have done before always came from a local store and quickly. Why send it from Sydney when they know that the fires are slowing down delivery times. Not good enough CW

They say they are The cheapest.

published

Medicine prices have increased and so is waiting time for these to be dispensed...and CW are not the cheapest...as they advertise. Check out Ventolin from different sites and CW is NOT the cheapest.
Share the pharmacy wealth and chose a different store.

Great Service, Great Place

published

Chemist Warehouse Essendon is one of the most organised and easy to navigate chemist I’ve ever been into, the products and service were great, beyond great, also Catia and Joseph aka... not Giuseppe are the friendliest part-time workers you’ll ever meet !! Great service throughout, look forward to going back

Everyone a thief at Tarneit store, so expect your bag to be searched

published

Long time customer at Tarneit gardens store, attended 28/12/19, was illegally detained when trying to leave as I wouldn’t allow my bag to be searched. When complained to the store pharmacist was told that it is store policy. I won’t ever again enter a chemist warehouse store.

APPALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE

published

Visited Tea Tree Plaza store this morning. Found what I wanted eventually. Went to pay at checkout and there was a queue around the isles of at least 20 people with 1 person serving. I put my items on the closest shelf and left the store in disgust. Only having 1 person serving for a queue like that is just ridiculous

Shocking customer service

published

Poor customer service. Given a womens fragrance instead of a mens. Store manager would not exchange. Rude and dismissive. Main office equally unhelpful. As a local I will never visit here again and tell everyone else of our experience. This is a multimillion dollar company. Jack Gance please explain?

Chemist Warehouse Physical Store

My daughter was given perfume bought from chemist warehouse lilydale vic for christmas. She hasn't opened it as any perfume with rose gives her a violent headache.
She took it back and explained the situation but they refused to let her return it. Even stating that the weather has been hot which could have damaged it?
Don't these big companys have any compassion? Is this fair? It is one of the more expensive perfumes........
Thanks and any advice would be appreciated....sue.
