One unfortunate day, I was hanging out with a friend and we decided to leave her apartment and head…read moreinto Newmarket for a bit. As soon as I stepped outside, I started sneezing. Hello hay fever! We had to catch a bus in 5 minutes so I pretty much ran into The Auckland City Pharmacy and explained to the pharmacist that I was in a hurry and need of hay fever medications. Before I could even fish out my wallet from the bag the medication was already in a bag and all they needed was a payment. Such fast and prompt serve is rare in a pharmacy,they usually take a while to get to you. I was beyond impressed.

Okay, so if you're going to a pharmacy at night, you're probably feeling pretty much like you need…read moreto be seen to semi urgently and it can't wait 'til the morning. So maybe you're not A&E bad, but you're not good. This is why Newmarket Day Night Pharmacy is the man. It's open 'til 11pm every night which means hypochondriacs can go and get their mysterious flu medication after dinner and not feel panicked the whole night. Also good for that emergency prescription you need filled because you're leaving the country early the next day. Other than the long opening hours, the pharmacy is pretty much like every other one. Stocks the same things and staff are pretty nice considering they're there late at night dealing with stressed sick people.

I come here for random pharmacy supplies, the odd script, hairties, perhaps a lipstick once in a…read morewhile, and it's pretty good. The prices are generally not too outrageous for a pharmacy, and the service is quick, although the staff at the front till are really less than friendly, the ones down the back who deal with scripts are really nice. I've had some excellent bargains here too, including Dr Lewinn's products for absolutely dirt cheap, and the range of makeup is much better that at other Queen Street parmacies.

I don't go to chemists all that often, and when I do it's because there's something wrong with me…read more This place has a whole range of makeup and stuff but I can't comment on that, I only come here because I have a pain or an ailment that needs fixing. I can't be alone in this. Bearing that in mind, the service here is kind of disappointing. I mean not outright rude or anything, but definitely not friendly, and even to call it polite is being generous. I know it must be boring working as a cashier at a pharmacy, but suck it up. The people you're serving probably also work boring jobs (this pharmacy is in town, you know), and they've probably also got hayfever or bunions or something - that's why they're here. You don't have to sympathise with every single one of them, but yawning and rolling your eyes is not helping anyone. You're not too good for this job - you know how I know? Because it's your job.

Two weeks on from when I ordered, I am still waiting for a refund of $943 - despite five phone calls, repeated promises of callbacks that do not eventuate, and three unreturned emails.

But I was so happy when I arrived at the sunscreen section of the pharmacy - so many options that are reef safe, and not tested on animals!! I ended up going with the Natio SPF 50 sunscreen as it had been recommended by a friend. The 'screen was regularly priced at $15.00. The customer service here is truly exceptional. When I was taking a gander at all the options, an employee came over to me and asked if I had any questions or needed any help. I told her I was just taking a look and she told me where she would be if I needed help. When I checked out, the woman behind the counter could tell by my American accent that I wasn't local, and she took the time to warn me about the sun here and told me to just make sure to reapply sunscreen when I'm in the sun. The pharmacy is small but still has a great assortment of health and beauty products, and lots of options for vegans! They stock quite a bit of the Natio range and have a wide variety of supplements and vitamins. I'll continue buying my sunscreens and other health/beauty needs from here! Great place and I highly recommend

I usually get my prescriptions here if I'm doing the supermarket shopping - just drop it off, do the shopping and pick it up on the way out of the mall. Handy. They also have all the major big name cosmetics and perfumes in stock. I generally bypass the expensive brands and just visit the Revlon display (which is huge), and there are usually some great deals. And often there's a bargain table out the front with clearance cosmetics - always worth a look!

I often get sucked into coming to this pharmacy even though I don't really like it. Perhaps it has…read moresomething to do with their careful product placement - it's all Clinique gift time at the entrance, and the prescription stuff doesn't start showing up until you right down the back of the store. It's very clever. One of the constant problems with pharmacies is that they try to sell us ordinary stuff at extraordinary prices, and this one is a good case in point. How do they keep going when they charge sometimes up to double for the exact same product you can get ten steps away, across the mall at the supermarket? (It happened to me once with shampoo...never again!). I guess it's the nice makeup brands and pretty extra, like candles, that make this place appealing.

I came here a lot during uni, not because I was sick and needed drugs but to use the post shop…read more They have a post shop! The staff here are very friendly too. One time I had to come for eye drops and one staff member saved me the trouble of going through all 25 different products to inform me there was only one suitable for contact lenses wearers. They sell hosiery which came in handy twice for me when I had managed to destroy mine somehow. You never know when you're going to need the sorts of things a pharmacy offers, tweezers for example, antibacterial wash (uni keyboards) nail polish, they have it all. They also do passport photos. I had mine done here for a new student ID card only to discover after that I was entitled to a free card with photos from the clock tower. Don't forget it is here, tucked behind UBS, and yes if you need them, they can supply you with legal drugs.

I had to go looking for this one, I thought surely there's a pharmacy on campus, but where is it?…read moreJust tucked behind UBS. And it has a post shop! Super handy. I went here to get a prescription and the staff were friendly and helpful and I didn't have to wait long. Or rather, while I was waiting I just went and found other stuff I needed anyway. All your usual over the counter drugs of course, and then pretty much everything else that any pharmacy has (yeah! leg wax!) so you can run your errands in between classes. The other cool thing is there was a bunch of stuff that had campus specials so if you're sans prescription you can still find some non-full-price antihistamines or restock on contact lens solution. When you're a student you know you need every discount you can get.

I generally head here before I go to the doctor because the pharmacists are really helpful and often have exactly what I need which means I don't have to pay a hefty doctor's bill. They definitely know their stuff and know what products are best. I was there and an assistant came over within two minutes of me being there and helped me with what I needed. And when you're not feeling too good so good retail therapy often does the trick. Here they have so many amazing perfumes! I could spend hours trying them all out. And also, I buy my makeup from the ladies here too. There's loads of different brands so you can pick and choose from them as you please.
