Paihia Pharmacy Ltd

We come from London, where I work in the retail/service industry there.
I have never felt so unwelcome in a store in my life. The staff were unfriendly, rude and made no effort to help us locate what we were after (as we blatantly were looking around various shelves) and I would urge you to try to use the Four square, Countdown or any other town pharmacy option that you have available before shopping here. I realise they have a pretty captive market, unfortunately.
To top it off, the four products we ended up buying were REALLY expensive. I am not sure if this is NZ for these items in general, or it is another shortcoming for this retail outlet.

Pharmacy had what I needed plus more. Friendly service

Extremely rude staff and not very nice to deal with.

Very impressed with this pharmacy. Whole in holiday, I forgot to bring a medicinal cream that I really needed. They didn't have it in stock, so they ordered it in for me & it was the within 24 hours. It can be quite expensive as they have the monopoly where they are positioned, but staff are very friendly & helpful. Highly recommended.

I do not recommend this place. I visited Bay of Islands from USA on a vacation this month. I found the clerks at this store to be very pushy, and the prices to be very high. But most of all, the pharmacist there was the only rude person I really encountered in my 12 days of vacation in this wonderful country. He especially is not fond of Americans. So visit the other shops for all your needs, there is a great dollar store down the street, but avoid this store!!
