Ridiculous policies and poor customer service
Last week I purchased probiotics and unfortunately the wrong type had been placed on the shelf of products I required. They looked exactly the same so I missed it until later.
I took the product back to the store and was advised that due to hygiene reasons they wouldn't return the product despite clearly being tamper free (the external seal completely covers the bottle) and having my receipt. I was told to 'give it to a friend' seeing I couldn't exchange the product.
I made a formal complaint and they again refused an exchange or refund. I kn...Read more
ow I go to Chemist Warehouse for their service and cheap prices but what's the point when you have to throw $25 away on a poor excuse. Since this instance I have also heard of complaints where the same thing has occured with baby formula and perfume and each were denied yet after complaint refunded. It should not take so many complaints. Chemist Warehouse need to copy some other large companies that have customer service right such as Wesfarmers. I will not be shopping at Chemist Warehouse again. I have been well and truly turned off.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Always best price!
Always I find what I need in Chemist Warehouse. All their product are cheaper than any other chemist. Staff are friendly and polite but some of them don't know where are the products.

Perfect assistance
Went to the Liverpool chemist warehouse today the lady that help me was so friendly and didnt mind walking around the store with me showing other products that I may have been interested in. Very knowledgeable and was in all a great experience. Ended up buying more then I intended to. But was worth it. Great sales.

Olympic Park Store - Terrible Service - Fragrances
Rude staff not service focused. Stood there and was ignored. I finally got their attention after they had walked passed me 3 times. When asking about what the new fragrance was in a particular brand they had no idea. I asked test a fragrance and was told that they didn't have any and that I would need to search on my phone for the fragrance I wanted, then the staff member walked away. I instead needed to go into Myer and purchase a fragrance. I would expect this type of service from McDonald's not Chemist Warehouse. Staff should be trained up before allowing them to deal with customers.

Buy The Discounts
Only purchase when there are good real specials. Staff don't always know where products are but are always polite and helpful. Consider price/performance as good as are a discount store.

Great store...shame about the staff
My first visit to the newly opened CW at Stirling Central will be my last. The store looks great, clean and well stocked but being ignored by staff behind the counter was terrible. I asked if I could pay for the two items and was told no because she was busy with click and collect. If I put an online order as priority over a walk in customer I'd be looking for a new job.

Not the original Jean Paul Gaultier
I have been using Jean Paul Gaultier perfume for more than ten years .
Few months ago I bough one 125 ml bottle from Chemist Warehouse at good price.
The price was good but the perfume is not the original.
Thats why is all cheap, because is all not original.
I should say is a bad fake perfume.
Never ever I will buy again.
Money thrown away ......
If you look for a perfume, I suggest to spend more but get one from a department store.

Rude employee
Certain staff were inexperienced, they did not know where many things were. A young female employee of european descent whom I enquired about certain perfume fragrances did not know what brand I was referring to and asked a superior, she then had the nerve to turn around and mutter in a rude tone about how she couldnt understand my indian accent. Extremely horrible experience, I do not expect the employees to be able to fully understand my accent but her behaviour was incredibly rude.
Products however are quite good, and for a good price. The...Read more

Artarmon NSW - so called SURPRISE and MYSTERY Sale on Cyber Monday, 2/12/19 from 4pm to 8pm
I was given a flyer at checkout when I shopped a few days prior this so called surprise and mystery sale from 4pm and 8pm and thought I'd check it out. One of the sales person did not know his products, keep saying that he did not know what the product look like and was hopeless. He did not seem to know what was on sale/special and what was not. Instead of saying I don't know, try using words such as "I am not familiar with the product but I will check this for you". Chemist Warehouse artarmon, this guy is not worth keeping. You try to make your mark in Artarmon NSW so prove it that you are worth the while!

Greensborough Plaza Store shocking customer service
I accidentally picked up the wrong Metamucil product (same colour packaging). I live a 30 minute drive from the store so I left it til the next time I went to Greensborough (within the 7 day return period) to ask if I could exchange for the Metamucil I normally buy. They had to call up the product manager as the girl on the register said that they don't exchange consumables. Bossy young woman said no, it was against the law to exchange it, even though it was unopened and seal in place. I pointed out that it was not on the list of exemptions...Read more
on their refund policy poster but she was adamant. I explained that as a pensioner, I could not afford to just throw it out and buy another one, and she said "I understand" to which I replied that she could not possibly understand. I replied that I would not be shopping at Chemist Warehouse in future and she said "Good shop where you live then", I replied that she was very rude and she said I was rude to her, I pointed out that she was being paid to be professional and she ordered me out of the store. I was half way out of the store by then, so I called out "Don't worry, I will never be back" They may be a couple of dollars cheaper but treating an elderly person, a good customer, in such a way is deplorable and disrespectful. December 6th 2022 Update: Update on complaint I recently submitted a review of Chemist Warehouse Greensborough Plaza which was a complaint about very poor customer service. I m happy to say that I received a phone call two days later from Manager Laura, with an explanation of the store's regulations and an offer to exchange the product accidentally purchased. Very happy with the follow up, unfortunately the product manager I originally spoke to couldn't resist adding insult to injury by making inappropriate comments when I returned to the shop.Similar opinion?

3 Strikes Taylors Lakes Chemist Warehouse
Tonight my husband and I went into Taylors Lakes Chemist Warehouse to have several of my prescriptions filled. We live in the area and have been going to this Chemist Warehouse since it opened. I am dependent on quite a few medications. It was about 25 to 7 and this store closes at 7pm. I went to the counter and handed over a number of scripts. Once I had received my medications and paid for them and was on my way out to the car, I thought something is not quite right; the pills I had asked for and the pills I paid for didn't add up. Sure enoug...Read more
h, they hadn't filled two of my scripts. I immediately headed back into the store only to be stopped at the door by security who said "Shops shut". It was 5 to seven, it's my understanding that the store closes at 7 but I figured given that I wasn't given all of my order, that it would be fine. I explained what had happened to the guard and he said "No, the shops closed, that the registers were closed and the pharmacists don't get paid overtime after 7pm". Another worker came over to the doorway and I then explained it all again to him, that the chemist hadn't dispensed all of the scripts that I had asked for. As he worked in the store, I went on to explain that one of the scripts that they hadn't filled was for blood pressure and I had specifically come to get that tablet with the intention of taking it that evening. He told me to wait at the door and he would speak to the pharmacist. When he came back, he said "Nah you will have to come back tomorrow". As I needed to get these extra scripts filled, my husband I then had to drive 12 kms both ways to another Chemist Warehouse. Unfortunately I have found this level of customer service from this particular store to be the norm. I have another ongoing script that I have to have filled that sees me receiving 100 tablets at a time. Most times, this means I receive 7 boxes with 14 on a sheath, plus 2 extra tablets = 100 tablets. I have had the script filled at the same Chemist Warehouse in the past at Taylors Lakes only to find I have a whole sheath missing 14 tablets. As previously stated, I am a person who uses Chemist Warehouse in Taylors Lakes very frequently, so on one visit I asked how much we have to pay to reach the PBS / PRF safety net I have been told "they are too busy to tell me that information". Seems that they are always too busy. We all make mistakes but it has happened all too often at this particular Chemist Warehouse and I believe I was treated appallingly. It wasn't my mistake and they should have dealt with it in a professional manner. The pharmacist's duty of care requires more than just spotting obvious dispensing errors, pharmacists are expected to recognize potential risks and intervene to prevent harm to the patient, while exercising professional judgement and discretion. Thank you to the team at Milleara Road for being so helpful, if only you were closer to home!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

incompetent and dishonest
provided script and was advised a wait of 20 minutes. Went and did something else for 1/2 hour, came back to pick up script and was advised it wasn't ready. Waited another 15 minutes before asking for my script back. Another 5 minutes while they searched for the script before locating it with the medication. Upon being queried about this the pharmacist said he'd called my name. I replied that I had checked whether the script was ready when I came back to the store and then waited and my name was not called out. He repeated that he did. Same pharmacist throughout.

Chemist warehouse is WORST!!!! I called customer care for some enquiry but nobody picks up ever.
I bought some medicine from chemist warehouse oxford street, I went back to the store for a refund but the customer service i received was horrible and rude. The pharmacist or manager was asian lady who came and talk to me while she was eating, by looking at that i felt disgusting, so unprofessional.
Never go back again

Misleading 7 days return policy on receipt...
Chemist warehouse needs to be more clear on their return policy on the docket. It should not misguide the customer by giving them half the information. It is mentioned on the receipt that refunds and exchanges will not be accepted after 7 days but when you go there to return with in 7 days they tell you another story which is not even on the receipt. Then you get harassed by the manager they question on your English and manager called it an argument when seeking clarification from the staff .
Really Horrible Experience.

Not so cheap at Chemist Warehouse
Have been to the Greensborough Plaza Chemist Warehouse on 3 separate occasions now to get script medicine done. On the first 2 occasions they tried to overcharge me by $3 on one of my items stating that they could not get the generic brand so I would have to pay more for the original brand. On those occasions I refused to pay the extra and asked for my script back and went to another chemist in the Plaza who had generic and charged me the correct price. Went back there today and specifically asked whether they had the generic brands before I...Read more
gave them my scripts. They stated they had the generic. Went back half an hour later and guess what??? No generic and tried to overcharge me by $3 again!!!! Check what prices you are paying there and if they treat you like me, go to Priceline Pharmacy where they do the right thing by you.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Dirty tricks done "dirt cheap"!
The pink ticket on the Sauvage bottle says $140 but the yellow ticket says $139.99, even though it advertises a $9.99 discount. Hello!!!
What is the meaning of this conundrum? So I asked for an explanation but neither the security guard, who was out of his depth; nor the snooty girl on the floor, who tried to intimidate me by saying: "listen, this is multi-billion dollar industry", which, I suppose, means I had no right to question the elephant in the room; nor the supposed manager would admit that it's all a dirty trick to get me to buy the fr...Read more

Won't go there again
Went to the on located in Epping. Customer service is average to mediocre. However, we've been charged much more that quoted twice now. The first on was in June, and we didn't realise until we got home and didn't have time to come back as we were in a hurry to travel. The same happened yesterday, where the price on the shelf was different from what's on the receipt. Again, forgot to check until home and didn't want to bother coming back and deal through some drama for $3. Will just avoid their product from now on and use our local chemist shop from now on. At least, we get much better service there and there is no surprises like this.

Poor customer service.
Poor customer service. Went into Chemist Warehouse Murray Bridge looking for something, and couldn't find what I was looking for. So asked a lady who worked there and she didn't even look up and look at me and replied we don't have that here go to another chemist and find it. I work in Customer Service so I know how tuff it is but this was unacceptable. Will not be returning my business there!

Questions & Answers
Suzanne W.asked
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.
