We called him up to inquire about installing our new dishdrawers, which was more complicated than usual since there was no obvious plumbing left behind from the previous home owners. Regardless Nick came around the next day and said it wouldn't be a problem for him to install the dishwasher straight away. Within the hour we had a functioning dishwasher. Winning all round! Highly recommend.

After wasting a bus trip based on the recommendation off a previous Resene location, all I…read moreencountered at this Resene store location was unprofessional excuses and INCOMPETENCE! I needed a color-matching to a sample I brought with me, and the color-matcher '"professional" on hand, named Andrew, was incapable of being able to help me. Apparently, Resene is NOT well-equipped or capable of meeting customer needs at anytime of the day. Their lights are not well-calibrated and apparently they rely on sunlight for optimum results. My, how ancient! In the United States -- where I'm proudly from -- color-matching paint is NEVER an issue at places like Home Depot or other paint retailers. But New Zealand continues to struggle without success to catch-up with the 21st century! And today made me realize I can NEVER count on most New Zealand services to be prompt, efficient, or satisfactory to any degree! As Andrew rambled on about the poor quality of surrounding light, I just stood there dumb-founded realizing I was, yet, encountering another Kiwi excusing himself from being in any form effectual with his job. Without any further acknowledging of him, I just turned-around and left. His incompetence couldn't even halt me half-way to exclaim some other resolution to my issue. Truly, what POOR customer service! Ladies and gentlemen... HR professionals of the world: This is the so-called illustrious "Kiwi Experience" New Zealand employers expect of their native employees, and if you as a foreigner living in New Zealand don't possess these "qualifications," consider yourself excessively unemployed! "Kiwi Experience" expects you practice effectively: Laziness, incompetence, excuses, lack of fore-sight, not being proactive, thinking squarely and never outside of the box, quitting on customer service before even trying, and volley-balling customers from one salesperson to another in order to avoid - that's right - working. Avoid this Resene store. If not, avoid all of them!

The last time I had to hire a plumber, Hoffman Plumbers came to the party with flying colours…read more What you will get from Hoffman is a solid work done for a fair price. Old school, no nonsense, great work and no heart attack when the bill comes. That's what you want, and that's what I've had from Hoffman Plumbers. The vanity unit the plumber connected is heavy mahogany, marble and brass. That didn't stop the guy lifting it, and somehow carrying it through the bathroom and setting it down at the right spot before connecting it. That alone shows the above and beyond level of service - you can trust these guys to get it done correctly.

This is where I come whenever I need another key cut (which does seem to happen more than it…read moreshould). They do it while you wait and it costs buggar all for a key in the colour of your choice. I know there are places all over the show now that do this sort of thing but these guys are The Pros. You can tell by the enormous shop that has everything from key chains to massive safes, and you can tell by the fact that they have several branches of the business including what I like to call the "oh shit I locked myself out" service. They do the whole lot - cars, keyless entry, padlocks, home automation systems, you name it. I really can't imagine why you'd go anywhere else for your security requirements. They're also nice blokes who (in my experience) don't act like sleazy tradies. It's sad but true that a lot of the traditionally "male" industries are still badly behaved but not so here.

I bought my backpack from here when they had a special on, and got a pretty good deal. The backpack has lasted me for a few years now and has seen its fair share of travelling. Every time that I've been in here they seem to have a pretty good sale on, which is brilliant because the retail prices of most of their products are quite steep. Expensive but good quality. I guess you want good quality gear that's going to last the distance when you're going for an outdoor adventure. Nothing worse than having a crap sleeping bag or a backpack that snaps when you're out in the middle of nowhere. Very friendly and helpful staff too.
