we had a tv, still under warrenty, it had a fault. Went in 7 months ago, someone was surposed to ring us..never did. We went in again, finally several weeks later tv was taken away. Told 2 weeks max to fix. About 4 weeks later i went in, and was told the following week it would be back. i wailted in all week. no tv, i went in that friday and was told that it would be there monday...guess what..no tv, i waited in mon and tue, on wednesday i went in and was told that it couldnt be fixed. They would replace it...hooray. 3 weeks pass, i then get a phone call from the IUG people (who deal with the extended warrenty) and was told yes we will replace it, but we need to decide what model we will give you, another week goes by and yet another person rings from IUG and says they will indead relace it and tell me the model they will replace it with....guess what not available at the shop ...or in neighbouring towns for us to look at and decide. This lady tells me this matter has just come across her desk, and was surprised to say the least that I knew they were replacing it some 3-4 week before and i have been waiting. The story gets worse, apparently there was a fault with the model that we purchased, and the original one we purchased blew up about 3 weeks after buying it, and when that came back to us after going away for repairs, was not fixed....the best they did on that occasion was replacing it for a shop model. About half way through this time we were offered a shop voucher(no amount mentioned), as a way of smoothing things over, yesterday when we went into the shop and finally spoke to the manager(who had apparently told the saleman about the shop voucher) , made out like he knew nothing of our situation. He was totally unhelpful, and fobbed us off to a saleman...we were in the shop 2 hours yesterday trying to sort this out...the conclusion is we will pay the difference to upgrade to a tv that is available!! Shame on you noel leemings. Apparently figures say consumers shop in this type of shop once a year, becasue of the cycle that things need replacing...in 5 years we have spent in excess of 10 K in this one shop alone...guess what....never again as loyality means diddly squat!

I would never shop at this Bond and Bond store ever again. Staff are surly and rude and lack knowledge of the products. Recently I had to order in a part for my laundry. Despite being advised it would take 10 days to arrive, it took over 4 weeks and was the wrong part. Had to wait a further week for my refund despite paying by credit card. I know these things happen, however each time I spoke to a member of staff to try and find out the latest status I was gruffly told that they would ring me when they knew. Which they didn't. At one point a staff member took my receipt and threw it down on the counter at me, he would not look me in the eye or answer any of my questions. Instead he would only talk to his co-worker. Behaviour I would expect from teenagers, not so called customer service professionals. Went to an independant appliance store in Lower Hutt, they had the correct part to me in under 24 hours.

Recently went to this store looking for a dryer bracket for an older model dryer. I had little success with the big brand-name stores who just kept ordering the wrong part. However, the guy I spoke to at Wishart knew exactly what I was talking about straight away ... such a relief! He ordered the correct part and the bonus was I had it in under 24 hours. Fantastic service. The stored is a little out of the way and a bit difficult to find so maybe given them a call first.
