You'd think l would have learnt, but have ordered from chemist 5 times in perhaps 10 months. And each time, within a day or two have received confirmation that my order has been cancelled. No reasons given, no out of stock, would you like to wait or have a refund choice
I placed an order online for "fast delivery" ($22) which was indeed so fast that I couldn't get home in time to be present for the driver. It wasn't until after I'd paid for my order that it was communicated clearly to me that the driver would not leave my delivery at the door, and instead was returned to a nearby store. I was also not contacted… Read more
in any way to inform me of the return , or how I could go about retrieving my order. Obviously really inconvenient and poor communication on Chemist Warehouse's part.
When I called to find out more, I was told that it fell to me as the customer to be somehow aware of their delivery processes, which I told them was totally unacceptable and that I do not agree. I would then have to either collect it myself or pay for delivery again. Outrageous.
I submitted a complaint (not to the store but the online team) to request my delivery fee be refunded. I was flat out refused. These people do not deserve your money.
The site didn't indicate (clearly at least like other sites) that I wasn't buying from the Chemist Warehouse but from a 3rd party. Those 3rd party details are not listed. Their website put the wrong delivery and Billing details into the order. Their support is useless. I have now contacted the 3rd party seller. Hopefully this gets sorted out before shipping as it probably can't be delivered.

I just got my parcel today and was very emotional. I felt ashamed, embarrassed and mad at the same time. I ordered online and the store that provide the online order was in tenancy t5,joondalup,wa,6027. I order 2 bottled of exclusive vitamins for my friend's sick daughter, I was excited calling her and did unboxing together but I was devastated… Read more
seeing hair shampoo and conditioner and even detox soap, this not even the same the amount I payed. The delivery cost was too high but unsatisfied with the items I received. I got traumatized and felt being scammed to what I got. It was double the embarrassment since I ordered it for my friend which I will bring abroad. I was very upset. Still waiting for their line to open. I called like 5mins before closing and the guy told me just call tomorrow since we are closing. Wow. I will not call in the first place If they do their packaging very careful. As if I owe them too much time while the time I need to spend to get in touch with them and ask to what I payed was nothing? Let see what actions they need to do, this was a waste of time, money and effort,this feels like emotional damaged.

I have been a very loyal customer to Chemist Warehouse for many years. Last week I bought cenovis woman vitamin 15 bottles and other products to send to family In overseas, it come to my schock they send me three months to expire date of 15 vitamin bottles. I called the customer service to return the product. They said they do not have policy to… Read more
return for vitamin and they do not recommend Customer to buy bulk for vitamin supplement but In their availability we can buy up to 20 unit in each vitamin . Now blaming the Customer for buying too much. The customer service woman told me that they can sell any vitamin supplement as long as they have more than one month expiry date. I told him to understand that it’s a lot of vitamin and this is scamming for me. unfortunately she can’t help me anything because her boss say no. For me this is a rip of a scam. They just wanna get rid of their almost expired product and not care about Customer. I never thought Chemist Warehouse would do that to a customer.
I bought a 500-tablet bottle of Fish Oil on April 29th online but it expires in December 2026. Even if I follow the maximum dosage (2 pills a day), it's impossible to finish the bottle before it expires. The store is clearly clearing out old stock without considering consumers. My previous purchase of the same product( bought march 2025 ) had a much longer shelf life. Be very careful and check the date before you buy from this Nowra branch!"
We ordered $74.15 cosmetics products online and after payment it was showing some of the product was out of stock. Later, I didn’t get any product and the amount was also not refunded.
Awesome service with free delivery for purchase I made today- amazingly fast!
The latest update to the online ordering system is the worst EVER. After adding your products, select "click and collect" and choose the store that has all the products in stock. On to the details page, where you HAVE to enter an address, even though you are picking it up. Next, you're directed to the payment page, where a message appears stating… Read more
that not all products are available. Odd, they were one page ago... But you can't go back and change stores? The only option is to remove the products... EPIC FAIL.
The in-store experience is much better than the online one.
Misleading pricing. I purchased an Oral B iO2 elec toothbrush which was advertised as half price, costing just under $80. Unfortunately I thought Chemist Warehouse would be genuinely the best price. How stupid am I. An Ebay seller has the exact same product & free shipping for $50. The seller has 100% feedback on 15,000 sold items, ie, a genuine… Read more
seller. Another Ebay seller has them for $65. I now feel cheated. Who sets the Half Price/full pricing? Is it all a gimmick? Not sure that I will ever shop with CW again. I have sent a message to them, they responded saying they received my email, but heard nothing from them. NOT a happy customer. I now will see if they genuinely price match.

I'm trying to log into the CW app online to request for some prescription meds but I'm unable to login or reset my password. The app. doesn't send emails to my email address even though it said it has sent it. Tried this on Google Chrome and MS Edge… Read more
browsers. Checked my spam folder and it is also not there. In the Contact Me, there is also no link or help for password resets.
Follow-up · I have made subsequent orders by calling the local Chemist Warehouse store directly or physically at the store. Also I am able to log in via the Android app & hence have not used the desktop browsers to access my account in CW.
Be careful on the website to CHECK THAT THE DELIVERY ADDRESS IS CORRECT. I had several attempts to get mine correct. Once corrected, I immediately went through checkout believing all was well. Upon receiving the invoice, I found that an INCORRECT… Read more
delivery address had been used. Between to-ing and fro-ing between the PO and CW, I did NOT receive any package, apology or compensation. Always check your details before the final button. If you have form of trouble when ordering on line, just DESIST and buy elsewhere. That will save you a lot of hassle and your money!
Follow-up · In answer to reader's questions: 1. Payment was processed VERY quickly. Money was immediately taken from the account! 2. No resolution was received, nor apology from CW. 3. I have no idea where the address came from. It was on a state highway, near a town with a postcode I have have never heard of! I believe the gliche came from the website but… Read more

Entered my escript on their website on Wednesday, rang my local store to collect on Saturday as I hadn't heard from them was told the store never received my script. I now have to wait until Monday as the store doesn't carry stock, in the meantime I have run out of my medicine and are feeling the effects of sudden withdrawal!!!
Follow-up · I was contacted several days later after placing my review on their contact email and was advised that each store received online orders by various methods and it would pay for me to actually go to the store personally to ensure it was filled as they couldn't guarantee that each store would receive all online orders placed by the public. That seems like a very st^pid system that they have in place to me!!
Positive reviews
I have been with Chemist Warehouse for a few years now,I notified them I had no more tablets left (time got away from me) they sent my medication the day I ordered it and received it the next day!So appreciative of this thank you guys!
A round of applause to Chemist Warehouse Erina. Order delivered in 4 days, even though the parcel went from Erina (Central Coast NSW) to Sydney x 2 depots, and then back to Wyong (Central Coast NSW)
ordered 3 products recently and received them within a few days in our rural area, Really good and fast service. Previous order took so long, but really pleased now. Thank you

Should be a 0 star. I ordered online. And found out the auto read of address had suburb and street address same ending out attempted delivery was unsuccessful. Rang custome service line to provide the address. They ID and verify which is fair. Then she said you have to contact our supplier to arrange re- delivery. This is outrageous!! I said… Read more
ordered it through your website why don’t you contact your supplier why me. I have been charged already for delivery.
NO STARS SHOULD BE AN OPTION! Quorum Eau De Toilette is NOT authentic! According to the genuine manufacturer the bottle photographs I sent to them form what the Chemist Warehouse supplied me after purchase do not have the Authentic labeling. One bottle was three quarters full. One line customer service sent me an email to attach photographs to… Read more
which I did and sent. I received no response and went to the store at Mowbray Tasmania and spoke with the manager. The manager viewed the email and photographs and made some phone calls on my behalf and stated the email containing the photographs had not been received and would I please resend them. Which I did. The next day I followed up with the online customer service to make sure the emails were received. I was informed by the customer service representative the original email was received plus the recent, and the Chemist warehouse did not agree with what I had written in my complaint and was not going to enter into a discussion with me. I clearly stated the photographs I provided as requested were evidence that what I had stated in my complaint was in fact accurate and correct. The online customer service representative was rude and unhelpful. I would Not recommend anyone looking for authentic fragrance make their purchase from the Chemist Warehouse because in my experience the fragrance is NOT authentic and does not smell authentic when compared to the genuine authentic product. I know what I received is a counterfeit and it was verified by the genuine manufacturer. The Chemist Warehouse should investigate exactly where their suppliers are purchasing their stock and insist on verified genuine authentic fragrances. The Chemist Warehouse don't care about their customers only about the money. Once they have your money good luck getting any resolution for proven counterfeit fragrance. I hope my review is helpful to other people and prevents them from making the same mistake I made.
All is good until you have a problem and then see how little they care about the customer. In my case I had a a bad reaction to a supplement (Bioglan l-theanine for calm and focus) and reached out to them to let them know the product does opposite of what it claims to do and that the main ingredient pauses risk in certain individuals according to… Read more
numerous online reviews and advised them that there should be a warning of some sort. I also requested a refund which they declined. Moreover, they deleted my review of the product in question and in that way continue to mislead their customers which I find sickening. At least i was able to get promt response from Bioglan, who took genuine interest in my case and issued a refund after documenting all the side effects. Chemist Warehouse isn't concerned with anything other than profit and offers substandard customer service.

Worst On-Line shopping experience! Ordered a large order from Chemist Warehouse 27th May 2026 as I live in a rural remote area and need regular medication and supplements just to move. Had an email stating that I needed to contact them regarding an item I had ordered. I did this and all was good. I waited..... waited..... waited for the… Read more
shipping notification. Contacting them is an absolute nightmare and as I am in a rural remote location my phone service is not reliable. No Email address, No place to ask about an order... absolutely nothing. I finally found an email address not for orders, but hey anything was better than nothing. You can't tell them what the problem is and you receive a non replyable email telling you what your case number is? Case for what they don't even know what the issue is. Then nothing..... absolutely nothing....... no contact....... nothing? I have tried several avenues all with NO REPLY! I keep getting emails about my script on file and yet I haven't received the first one. It is now 16th June 2026 and I still have no order, perscription or items I now urgently require. They took my money and failed to deliver the goods? I am presuming my only option is ACCC if they won't speak to me? Never ever again will I be put in this position of such poor customer service and even poor supply of goods ordered and paid for weeks and weeks ago!
La Roche Posay Mela B3 Serum 50ml is on the massive 50% discount. However, there are no stocks in any store in my immediate 20km radius. We called to check with them. The staff kept telling us to order online as it is still available for sale while i'm writing this review. Things turned sour when we bought a gift card value just to purchase this… Read more
product todays morning. Received an email from them in the afternoon saying the product is out of stock and asked us to order something else up to the value or would refund the credit back to the gift card.
We just checked the website now and it is still available to order. Thats a fault advertisement. We dont want other product. And now we're struck with the gift card that we are not sure when we are going to use. We feel scammed to pay money for the gift card and there is no product to offer.
No more business with Chemist warehouse and will raise this with fair trading nsw.

I placed an order online to the value of $421.00 0nline11 days ago and I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED IT. I called the customer service but they couldn't trace my parcel.
Very disappointed with my experience with Chemist Warehouse. I placed an order during the sale period, but my order was suddenly cancelled without any notification by email, SMS, or phone call. I only found out after checking my account and seeing the refund processed. By the time I realised, many of the sale prices had already gone back up,… Read more
meaning I could no longer repurchase the items at the advertised price. I contacted customer support, but they were not helpful and could not provide a proper explanation or solution.
I understand stock issues can happen, but cancelling customer orders without notice — especially during a sale — is extremely frustrating and poor customer service. Better communication and support for customers is needed.
Their online system is a nightmare. I have 6 scripts with them and they sent me a reminder to reorder. This has proved impossible as they say they need a script although they have them on their records. I have tried their helpline but no reply.
Chemist Warehouse NZ. Saw their promotion for fast and free shipping for fragrances online. I purchased two fragrances on the 30th April well ahead of mother's day. Got an email about sourcing one. The first arrived the following Tuesday but no sign of my mother's day perfume. No email no shipping. Tried to call 0800 to cancel so I could drive in… Read more
and purchase. No working phones lines, no email response. So I had to drive 30mins to purchase another. In-store have no power with online orders. Got the shipping email on Saturday. Completely missed the mother's day time frame.
Their promotion and promises are false. What was supposed to be free shipping will cost me at least 60 in fuel. Absolutely worst customer service EVER..non existing.
Who's going to reimburse my fuel when you failed to deliver the basic of promotion?See less
Fix your Aus Post shipping issue. I live at 16/16 of a street, and EVERY TIME you remove the unit number as a duplicate. You are the only online retailer that has this issue. This means my order is NEVER delivered. I usually have to drive to a LPO… Read more
somewhere in the supply chain to collect it after it's been RTS'd. I correctly enter my details each time, confirm it, and it's my billing address too. Each time I raise a ticket with customer service and so far, no one has ever responded to me. It's a joke. FIX THIS.
Follow-up · What was the solution? I had to drive to an out of area post office to intercept the return. How did I collect it? By providing my license AND the order confirmation email to have the consignment released to be by aus post when it was already on the return to sender journey. What was the impact? Every single time I’ve ordered online the same… Read more
If I could leave a ZERO I would! [Name Removed] from HEAD OFFICE was so aggressively rude. I've NEVER experienced such POOR customer service. On 2 May I ordered my mother's day gift. I received an email that I couldn't respond to, nor could I get a response via email, but I received a case number. I called Friday morning 5th to advise I've… Read more
received a case number etc, but nothing further has happened. [Name Removed] was nothing short of rude and over spoke I welcome Chemist Warehouse to pull the recording. In the end I was so frustrated, it's not like there's only one store that can supply an order, yet NOBODY bothered to contact me in FIVE BUSINESS DAYS!!! Then for me to call and be (SO CALLED)greeted by this [Name Removed] is all so distasteful and unprofessional.
Ordered a considerable number of items approx 15 online. The next morning received an email saying order was cancelled with no explanation. Lodged an online enquiry with no response. Phoned and advised one item I ordered was not in stock so whole order was cancelled. Why does their website let you order items which aren't in stock and why can't the rest of your order be dispatched. Not wasting my time ordering online again.
I was charged for a click and collect order that was cancelled by Chemist Warehouse shortly after making the order and I was never refunded. I won't be using that system again.
