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.

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.

Had 2 other quotes and AHP were the best the price. Job was booked in and the two young guys that did the install were awesome! Were half an hour EARLY to the the time they said they were coming (unheard of these days!). Shoes off every time they came in the house - drop sheet on carpet to catch the small amount of mess and cleaned up and took all the packaging away when finished. Did an excellent job (commenting as a veteran tradie), set up the wifi unit - talked us through all that was needed to know. Job done in less than 3 hours. Love our new Mitsubishi Heat Pump.
