This was my first Pottery Barn shopping experience and I am happy to say it will be the last. My…read morepartner and I visited the store and noticed a dining table for sale with 40% off, on speaking to the shop assistant she stated it was no longer for sale and removed the sale ticket in front of us. However she said if we were to buy it she would honour the sale price but only on this occasion so we had to think fast and not leave the store (nice sales tactic). This obviously created a sense of urgency and we ended up buying the table as it was a great price. Then came the $153.95 shipping fee on top (why not have a Australian supply?). But imagine my disappointment when I discover a few days later the table is on sale online for cheaper than we paid in store! Finding this out I attempted to cancel delivery but it had already shipped and now I was liable for a 20% restocking fee. Long story short, this happened on 9th August, it is now 23rd August. I have left a message for the store manager to call me back but no luck, on 2 occasions American Pottery Barn staff have said they will call me back and no luck. Today I have been told again I will get a call back and not only that a full refund inclusive of shipping and restocking totalling $957...I await to see if after 5 phone calls I can finally forget this shopping experience. p.s - a further 2 phone calls (taking the total up to 7). Store manager still have the decency to call, assistant called and no question about the poor service received just asked for card number. It is free to say sorry, explore why customers have had poor service, reassure and take steps to make sure it doesn't happen again and customers shall return. I'll only be returning if there is a sign saying under new management.

Ensuring that you get the genuine, good stuff is the key and at the hospitality superstore, you get that by the truck loads. HSS is the source of where restaurants order their fit out and utensils. It features everything you can possibly think of needed for the home kitchen or a restaurant, including ovens and cookers. For me, I went through a Chef Ramsay stage, where I'd care deeply about the ingredients and subsequent tools I would use to turn those things into robust dishes. I didn't know about this place, and I'm kinda glad I didn't because I would've dropped a fortune on getting the perfect mixing bowl or an industrial strength blender (no cheap Brevill here, thanks!). It's all good stuff and it's expensive. But you truly get what you pay for.

What I thought I wanted turned out to be both outdated from a design perspective and suboptimal from a cost perspective, so I was fortunate that he took the time to educate me and change my mind. I appreciated his candor, professionalism, and integrity in putting his client's interest above his own, traits normally difficult to find in a contractor. His prices were more than reasonable relative to the value he brought to my home and the headaches saved from not having to deal with carpenters and installers. He'll be the first person I call to design my next home's kitchen.

Be prepared for a full on treatment of condescension, disdain, and passive aggressive belittling. These ladies think they really are the bees knees. When I could not find anything to my liking to exchange for the returned piece, I was told -and I quote "You know dear, this is a very affluential area and the ladies who shop here would be pleased to buy anything from this shop" !! So, no matter who you are dear customers, I suggest, to avoid being spoken to and treated as a complete undesirable, ensure you have a form of ID with your local Bulimba address -and an up to date payslip showing your salary is of a significant pay scale. You will then avoid the patronising and humiliating situation these "ladies" gifted to myself! By the way, I suggest buying from the gift shops further up Oxford Street - same products, not over priced!
