Excellent Quality Products at a great price (when on special)

Always dubious when buying from a business for the first time, but I was VERY pleasantly surprised with The Homestore - beautiful, excellent quality products and I was lucky enough to get what I wanted on special, so an extra bonus! Packaging was great so product was safe, arrived quickly and communication was fab too. Highly recommend.

Great quality product and fast delivery

Product was described well on the website and was also exactly as described when I received it. It was sent really quickly and packaged well. Really impressed with the quality of the apron, thanks again. Would happily buy from here again.

Excellent Customer Service Does Exit

Excellent Service, my good was faulty but the staff name Kelly sorted out the issue promptly. Could not be so happier as i thought great customer service is no longer exit until my recent experienced at the homestore. Strongly recomend this place to homestore lover.

I understand there were stock delays…

I understand there were stock delays which happens however communicating with your customers would be a start! I did get the explanation however it was prompted by me! The item has finally been dispatched and still hasn't arrived and no updates! The order was placed over two weeks ago!

Reply from The Homestore

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really sorry for the frustration caused. You’re absolutely right - we should have communicated more proactively during the stock delay, and I apologise that you had to follow up first.

I’ve checked your order and can see it was delivered a couple of days ago, but I understand the experience leading up to that wasn’t ideal. We’re already reviewing our processes to ensure customers receive clearer updates in situations like this.

If there’s anything more I can help with, please feel free to contact me directly at chris@thehomestore.co.nz.

Kind regards,
Chris
General Manager

Quick, no hassle purchase

They had the right product (cheese slicer wires) at a reasonable price and good quality. Delivered very well packaged and protected. Quick delivery too. I will be happy to buy from them again.
