Homeart was born. Located in the distinctly suburban Aspley, this place is a hit with mums (and that rare man who digs homewares.) Crammed on every shelf the products range from cookware, manchester and outdoor leisure gear to fitness products, bathmats, toys and electric salt and pepper mills. I've grown up around this store, but when I came back to it recently I was surprised at how small it was. (Or maybe I've had a freakish growth spurt without realizing?) In anycase, if you are around the hypermarket area this little shop is well worth a pop-in.

At one time back in the 1990s, Centro Toombul was one of the biggest and busiest shopping centres…read moreon the north side, until Westfield Chermside came along. Centro Toombul, which once had a big cinema, is now a shell of its former self - the cinema closed down years ago and David Jones finally shut its doors last year. However, like a Phoenix rises from the ashes, Target has now opened its doors in the old DJ's location, bigger, better and brighter than before. That David Jones was so sad and old and depressing, but the Target is huge! It has really rejuvenated the shopping centre, and I believe there is talk of a new cinema opening up in late 2012. Toombul is a great shopping centre when you don't want to battle the crowds of Chermside, as it has all the essential shops - supermarket, discount bargain shops, fashion stores, food courts, deli, bottle-shop, fruit and vege shop and more. It also has an Aldi, which Chermside doesn't have. There are a number of good eateries both in the food courts and outside the centre, including Sushi Train, Zarraffa's Coffee, Billy Baxters and Mehfil Indian. There is also a 24 hour McDonald's on top of the Toombul shopping centre.

Much smaller, and nowhere near the range of Chermside, it can also be a lot quieter than Chermside. The cinemas have reopened here under Event, and thankfully they've had a refurbish, and it's a nice quiet spot to catch a movie. Groceries? Bi-Lo is gone, it was replaced for a while by a second Coles in the complex, but you still have Coles and Aldi. Something new is coming, we'll see. Admittedly I rarely do my groceries down here, I'll head to the 24/7 Woolies close by. Is Chermside a better shopping centre? But this is my local, I can walk here if I want to, and sometimes you just don't want the mega-mall experience.

So, with a feeling of embarrassment at having signed up to a 'Lease' for the Note 9 back in September 2017, this week I was unfortunate enough to have a screen crack occur. I figure, no biggie, I will go in store and find out what the damage in $$$ is for either a repair, or to cover the 'fair market value' of the phone if I were to upgrade to a new phone. I get assigned a place in queue and when an associate finally comes to where I am sitting, I explain the situation and the current condition of the phone. During this the sales associate just stands above me while I'm awkwardly sitting at the table I was waiting at and only answers the bare minimum of what he thinks I am asking. I went there to explore my options which ranged from pay the repair costs and conclude my business with Optus in a few months, through to seeing what the upgrade costs would be to re-contract and how a cracked lease phone would be addressed in billing. Optus text chat couldn't help with this which is why I went in store, however in store they are also unable to assess if a phone has a cracked screen and require it sent away for repairs to be quoted 'Between $290 and $495' for repairs. No idea why text chat couldn't of told me this. A flagship store doesn't have a tech to assess repairs before sending them? Sales Associates aren't taught that one crack in the screen is that same as a dozen as the whole screen gets replaced either way? The Associate I dealt with thought that because there were 'so many cracks' the repair would be closer to $495' which demonstrates a lack of training as a screen replacement with Samsung is $280. He did not look at my account, did not engage me with my problem to offer solution I wasn't myself proposing, and made no attempt to provide any real service, I suspect he tuned out once he realised I was possibly going to be a hassle by lodging a repair request. But what really disappoints me is that I went in to look for a solution, willing to spend more money with Optus and I couldn't even upgrade as if I did, I would be obligated to accept the 'repair quote' for my device before the quote would be given since it cannot be done in store. I remember taking home the Nokia 3315 from the store when I first got to pick a new phone. And the N-gage. Hell, I even worked at the Chermisde Optus years ago and the level of service I received would of gotten me in a whole lot of trouble if a manager saw that interaction or had any idea a new contracted service was at stake. Fair warning, the lease options are predatory and I should of known better. They offer $240 discount in exchange for your $1500 phone over 24 months. Not sure what I was thinking when I agreed to it. The store is nicer then it used to be, but the service somehow has just degraded, or maybe I'm just unlucky. Either way, with the way the plans are priced you're better off buying a phone outright and jumping on the more competitive telco's offering 40Gb of data for $40 a month rather then $100+ a month at Optus if they 'subsidise a phone" at $60 extra a week over sim only plans, catching you for $1440 extra Bad deals, and bad service.
