Puchased a medivape+ ultra on Friday evening, delivered Wednesday the following week. Best price I could find and very easy process from start to finish. Highly recommend Chempro online chemist Show reply
I placed an online order on 4 March 2026 for items listed as “In Stock.” Two days later, I was advised that the items were actually out of stock and was told they would be restocked and dispatched within 7 days. When I followed up near the end of that timeframe, I received only a generic response repeating the same information, effectively… Read more
extending the delay to 14 days without any meaningful explanation or proactive communication. My second enquiry then took a further 5 days to receive a response.
This level of service is unacceptable, particularly given that these are medical items, not discretionary purchases. Stock availability for essential products should be managed far more carefully, and customers should not be left chasing updates after being given inaccurate timeframes.
Overall, this was handled in an unprofessional and irresponsible manner. I would not recommend this store, and anyone considering ordering from them should confirm stock availability in advance.
I went today to have my Covid19 boost at Chempro Mt Gravatt Plaza. Staff was polite and professional, I waited a few mins after filing in the form and a young girl called my name letting me know they're ready for me. In the clinic room, the girl… Read more
confirmed my details while preparing the shot and then she just gave me the needle. She didn't put on gloves, didn't wipe the spot, just collected the things in a couple of secs after that and took off! I was so shocked I didn't say anything and I'm bad at confronting people. I should have though. Very unprofessional and bad hygiene.
Follow-up · I did not feel pain and the room seemed ok, I did not pay much attention. I didn't have any experience with a shot so far that the medical provider did not wipe the skin before and not wearing gloves so this was shocking.

Bulimba Chempro sold me two asthma inhalers that had less than two months left on the expiry. At the time I stated they were for an emergency kit at school. When I took them back three days later (after I tried to sign them in at the school and saw the dates), they told me that they can sell medicines right up until expiry date and there was… Read more
nothing they can do. I had to buy another inhaler with a 13 month expiry and it doesn’t have a Dr’s name on it because they used my script to give me the old ones and now I can’t use it for school witgwith Dr’s name. Incompetent and unacceptable behaviour from a chemist.
Go anywhere else! – Does not operate as a full pharmacy, does not listen to customers, poor customer service
Inala Amcal Chempro Chemist – Extremely expensive! Same medication, same brand costs almost double the price at other chemist. Won’t buy things from that chemist again.
Are you able to match the price?
Absolute attitude problem – I called in to drop off a product return as this chemist had previously handled them. The guy I asked about it was rude and said if I handed him the return, he’d “chuck it in the bin”. A polite comment would have been sufficient, but this fool is an absolute moron with an attitude problem. So, if they have dropped the agency, just say so politely. I wasn’t to know.

I wanted Vicks roll on but although the site said it was in stock I was directed to a Deamazin product .it did not work in the container, was out of date and overpriced by about $7 compared to other chemists. This is the second and last time I will ever go there. Luckily I got .y refund without a y argument.
Follow-up · The refund process was quick but selling out of date products doesn't help. I have decided I will never go this chemist again. In this case 2 strokes and you're out..

I had a hip replacement surgery and had a friend purchase a making life easier disability reacher grabber tool for use during my recovery. It broke very soon and as I was still recovering I was unable to get it back to the store until 2 months had… Read more
passed. They flat out refused to replace or refund as “too much time has gone by since purchasing” dispute my fact i simply was unable to get back soon due to recovering from hip replacement surgery. This is outrageous and I’ll be also complaining on the manufacturers website too. It’s made of cheap plastic and I don’t recommend it or this chemist for their rudeness about this issue
Follow-up · I was asked by the company to contact them In regards to this situation so I emailed them using the address they supplied. I immediately responded and sent email and I’ve Heard nothing back from them since over a month ago. Terrible customer support

Excellent customer service and they price beat their competitor without giving grief! Such a pleasure dealing with great merchants. Will be moving all my future purchase to Chempro! Their competitior (Discount Chemist) just lost a repeat customer. Show reply
Always have wonderful staff, customer service next to none, nothing is a problem and we wouldn't think of going elsewhere as staff treat us like family. Jennelle Hartmann. Show reply

Better Than All the Rest – I would like to say a few words about our local pharmacy, Chempro at Peachy Road, Ormeau, Gold Coast. The service here is absolutely top notch. They also do vaccinations. Sell gifts and the odds and ends that we all buy. Pharmacist James, the owner of the business is top notch and always has time to help if customers need information or… Read more · 4
recommendations. Andrea is also a pharmacist so if you need help with female issues and prefer to speak to a female she is available for a confidential chat. The ladies here are always helpful and they price match if another pharmacy is cheaper. They know their stuff too. Very obliging and always greet with a smile which is good especially if you are feeling off. Definitely this is like the old days as far as customer service goes. Simply the Best!

⚠️BEWARE!!! Lovely people, great service but absolute thieves with their pricing, don’t go to any chempro, all are the same. regular pricing was $40.85 more than chemist warehouse!!! I complained and ended up with a $44+ refund. This is the second time I have been so badly ripped off by a chempro pharmacy and second time I have fought for a sizable refund . Don’t go there!!!!!!!

Ordered then 3 days later get email to say item out of stock. My usual supplier the order to delivery is 3 days, so 3 days to advise out of stock after showing as in stock on their website is not only comical, but incompetence. It was my first and now my last order with this shambles of a company.

The Chempro store at Ashmore has good prices but what's the point if they lose your scripts. I've been using them since Nov 2023, I went to place an order in Feb 2025 and was told by a staff member the number of scripts I had in store so I placed an order. After no response I rang and emailed back several times, eventually getting to the bottom of… Read more
it. They had new staff members and admitted poor communication but one of the new staff members has misplaced or lost my scripts and they are trying to cover it up rather than just admitting it. For someone with health issues who relies on this medication, this is a big deal. I also emailed the Chempro head office and they didn't even bother to return my email. They've just lost my business.

Chempro prioritise profit over customer choice – I feel really disappointed after my experience at Chempro today. While it’s not my usual pharmacy due to their higher prices, I went out of convenience as my husband had surgery yesterday and I needed the closest option. I put in four prescriptions, only to find that the pharmacist automatically dispensed generic brands instead of the brands… Read more
listed on the scripts—without asking me first. I find it completely unacceptable that staff would assume I want a generic medication rather than giving me the choice to stick with the prescribed brand.
Given that pharmacies often make more profit on generics, this feels like a case of prioritising profits over customer choice. Surely any change to medication requires the permission of the person taking it, rather than pharmacy staff making that decision on our behalf?
I would appreciate some clarity on why this happened, as it doesn’t seem like ethical practice.
Thank you for taking the time to share your… Read more
Poor delivery service – Text received yesterday from Chempro advising the package from them I was waiting for would be delivered by 4pm yesterday. Further message receivedd advising 'no one was home so left parcel at local post office'... No one attempted to deliver the parcel yesterday at all as I was home all day and I did not receive the parcel I had paid postage… Read more
for. Phoned Chempro wishing to advise them the delivery service they use is not delivering to the home address as I was led to believe it would be. I attempted to make a formal complaint regarding inaccuracies around the delivery service. I contacted ChemPro via their live chat service, spoke to a female who advised her name was Mary. As I was explaining the situation I am not happy with she became very defensive and either deliberately or not, refused to understand my complaint. I asked to speak to her senior and was advised by Mary the superivsor was 'at lunch', the time wass 1510hrs approximately. Initially Mary had been very helpful but did not understand my issue and the more I attempted to explain to her she seemed to misunderstand further. The delivery service ChemPro used yesterday was allegedly dishonest regarding the delivery of the package. ChemPro looks like you have several clients who are unhappy with parts of your service and instead of staff attempting to shift the blame to the Post office and blaming them for poor service, why don't you listen to your clients and attempt to resolve isues instead of using staff who are obviously not familiar with conflict resolution stratagies to deal with these issues of complaints.

Chempro withholds prescriptions – Redcliffe chempro chemist told me they are too busy to fill my candor prescription saying, we don’t have enough staff to fill “these kind of orders”. This chemist looks down their nose at candor orders. Every time without doubt there will be a problem with my order and I’m fed up with them treating me like I’m some sort of pot head.
Excellent customer service – I would like to tell you what a wonderful employee you have in Maria at the store in the Q shopping centre on the Gold Coast. She went out of her way to help me find an eye crayon that I was looking for. It was not in stock in her store but she found where I could find it at another Chempro Chemist. She is just a lovely person, so friendly and… Read more
helpful. One of the nicest experiences that I have had in a long time. Thank you Maria, Chempro are lucky to have someone as lovely as you
Disgusting – Over priced and rude. The pharmacist at Annerly is the most condescending and rudest person I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Contacted another Chempro for assistance, they were extremely polite and helped, they called me back and said she was even rude to them! Seems that they can do whatever they want. Avoid at all cost.

Flawless – Cannot Fault the Service and Professionalism of Craig and The Team here. Genuine interest in Customers and Nothing is too much trouble. Thank You Everyone
Debit transactions – Was quoted $6.99 for pain meds. Charged $7.00. Only a cent but if done on all transactions, a little earner. It is actually not allowed by the visa debit rules.
Never go, only ggod things hannah daniel and maybe aircon – I was told to not come bavk after the owner heard me say i lwft a 1 star review from being denied my mental health medication the week before. Who knows why i bothered the last time
Happy 1st Purchase – I have to admit i had second thoughts of buying from them after seeing the negative reviews but i decided to give it a go getting my usual hair product at more than 30% savings compared to Chemist Warehouse. Placed my order on a Saturday and received the product 8 days later. Item received as described, timely delivery with free shipping! My first purchase experience is simply pleasant!
Unprofessional Service – I would certainly agree with the majority of Reviews here. I myself worked in Pharmacy for over 40 years. I Recently put a brand new script in at Chempro. Never used this medication before. Explained this to the Pharmacy Assistant. Usually when it’s a Brand New Script the pharmacist would come out and explain the side effects etc. Not this pharmacy at Coombabah. First and last time I will ever go back there.
Defective merchandise, no refund or apology – A couple of days ago I I bought a 4 pack of Duracell 312 hearing aid batteries at the Buranda Chempro. One of them lasted only a day. I replaced it with another, and that one was completely flat. The fourth one, when I unsealed it, was clearly defective, leaking battery acid. So yesterday I went back to the Buranda Chempro to get a refund… Read more
or at least another pack of the batteries. I explained all to the manager, and she said Chempro does not offer refunds on products that have been unsealed. I showed her the corroded battery and she was not inclined to accept my explanation, implying instead that I might have had a corroded one that I had put into the pack.
In short, she was calling me a liar. I don't know who would go to the sort of trouble she was envisaging just in order to score something that costs only a few dollars. She would not budge, was very cold in her manner, and only referred to "company policy" as though Chempro policy is written on one of the stone tablets brought down from the mountain by Moses.
I will never go there again, or to any Chempro outlet, and am advising everyone I know, on social media, not to do so. That response from the manager--and, I have to surmise, Chempro itself--was shameful.

Love everyone at my local IPSWICH QLD – First I just want to say- the overall reviews are really unfair considering Chempro is a franchise and different pharmacies are owned and operated by different people! Just because some stores might be crappy- that would affect peoples decisions to go to another- who very well will be owned and operated by someone completely different. So pls… Read more
don’t judge other stores based on these reviews. My local Chempro is Ipswich Limestone Chempro (QLD). I have been a customer since they opened, and I honestly couldn’t speak more highly of them. Angela the owner and pharmacist is an absolute gem of a lady, so very warm and friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Yes some of the prices are higher than say Chem. Warehouse- but remember they are much smaller, privately run businesses. I recommend IPSWICH LIMESTONE CHEMPRO QLD- so highly, everyone knows your name, your story, you just don’t that kind of service at a bigger chain chemist. I will be a customer for life, for the incredibly caring, personalised, customer focused service. 100 stars to Angela!
Unfair policy – My doctor accidentally gave me an extra item on my script to fill which I did. I was then told to stop taking it (blood thinners) It was unopened and cost me $31, I asked Chempro in Bundall if I could return it and they refused. I now have a $31 script that is no use to me. Incredibly unfair. I am a pensioner and can not afford to lose $31 for no good reason.
