Very poor experience from seller, ebay,paypal. Cancelled this item within 3 minutes of purchase…read moreafter realising the postage cost more than the item itself.Multiple cancellation messages were sent via eBay and PayPal over the weekend.While I did not expect a response outside business hours, the seller did not read nor check any correspondence before posting the item at 9am Monday. The messages were only read hours after posting, making the situation entirely avoidable. 3 weeks later, refunded.

Pharmacies used to be just the place to get your prescriptions filled. Not so anymore. These days,…read morethe pharmacy is the place for primary health care so it pays to go to a regular pharmacy where the staff and pharmacist are familiar with you and your family. For instance, just the other day I ran out of my prescription medication and couldn't get into the medical centre. My regular pharmacy was able to contact my doctor, organise all the paperwork and provide an emergency supply over the weekend. Healthy World Pharmacy in Mount Gravatt is my pharmacy of choice for its friendly staff, convenience AND huge range of cosmetics. I'm not kidding. They have a huge range of cheap cosmetics. I remember their original pharmacy in Stones Corner use to be known as make-up and perfume specialists. Well, they've brought the same range to their Mt Gravatt shop. It's great browsing through their discounted Loreal, Maybelline and Elizabeht Arden lines while waiting for my prescription. For those more into their health than make-up, Healthyworld also offer a full time naturopath and specialise in sports/ body building and nutritional supplements. Their downstairs location is directly next to a bulk billing medical centre with both male and female doctors. So for those people living in the Mt Gravatt area, taking care of your health is now quick, affordable and convenient.

This discount chemist always has great bargain bins chock full of $1 tissues, toothpastes, washing…read moredetergent and handy wipes. It's a great incentive to make me want to shop here. Unfortunately, having shopped here a couple of times, their prescription service is not very effective. They have this system where customers go to the back of the store to get their scripts filled or purchase over-the-counter medications. Once your script is filled, you take it to the front of the shop for payment. I think they have set up this system to make a clear distinction between the health care component and the general shop. At the back of the store, you can get pharmacist counselling and pick up prescriptions. However, money exchanges hands at the front of the shop. It sounds good in theory except when you just want to buy $1 tissues but you're stuck behind a pensioner who forgot to hand in his pension card and therefore his prescription had gone through at full price. The poor sales assistant had to run to the back of the shop with the pension card, the pharmacist had to re-process the script, the sales assistant had to come back, then the pharmacist realised he also had to re-process the repeat prescription, the pensioner had to hand over the prescription again. The entire process took five minutes longer than it should. Needless to say, the line of people waiting to get served was pretty restless. So while this may be a convenient pick up point for toiletry, think twice before going in if you're in a rush.

I like to go to this store as the people there keep an eye on my partner as he has multiple health…read moreissues. Sometimes, like at the supermarket, when somebody forgets their number for their card, then they have to pay cash, then they don't have enough so have to put stuff back, there, also, people get muddled.......maybe we all have to remember that we are all getting to that age as the days pass. They do have generic brands available for some medications and also offer a tablet fill service, where the daily tablets go into special trays for ease of taking.

Whoa, this is a huge chemist. Usually the only chemists this large are those discount ones that…read moresell everything at slightly cheaper prices and somehow manage to fill entire basketball court sized shops with products. This one is not especially welcoming from the outside and they don't have anything of great excitement on their shelves, but it's a chemist and they've got heaps of stuff so it's certainly a useful one.
