Reviews of Kmart Albany NZ

Probably could do with more big size clothes as most had already gone or not stocked.. needs clear signage and more checkouts even though I did not wait long.. happy cheerful security guard means happy shopping 👣🤙

L. S.

Large store, clean and tidy. Love the longer opening hours and normally visit well after the crowds and traffic have gone at 9pm, so parking is never an issue. I left my Xmas shopping a little late this year as working through so unfortunately there was very little of anything left … it was messy too so looked like someone stole Xmas 🤣😊 Hard to find staff members some times, love the price check kiosks and product range is great variety for my teen daughter. Love the self check out too - harks back to checkout operator games as a child 🤣. Always a first stop for anything we buy. Many products we’ve bought are still going! Need to monitor sanitising bottles as two separate visits and there was none left in either dispenser.

Your typical K-Mart with all the items you need. Compared to Sylvia Park branch, this store is tidier and cleaner. All the goods are well kept.

S. F.

I love this shop a lot and it has very good bargains. A bit disappointed with the fact they have such long lines outside Kmart (social distancing) But when you get inside the shop, nobody at all is social distancing (especially in the checkouts!) It just doesn't make sense!

Best KMart of the few Auckland wide, have frequented all stores. The staffs readiness to help, and tidy store wide sets this store apart. All other stores have opened and emptied products, strewn along shelves. Generally untidy.

Have a large range of products at Albany store. K-Mart is a good example to show Cheap doesn't always mean bad. However Anko is the only brand available now as they have stopped sourcing products from third parties. While this makes them unbeatable with the price quality of some items seems to suffer.

T. T.

Awesome. Finally found my dress travelled from Manurewa. While I was there found great Christmas decorations that I had not seen at my local Kmart stores. It was worth petrol and travel over the bridge.

S. G.

They don't have many clothes for older girls anymore but everything else is decent and you can find a lot of handy fun things around the shop.

Staff were super helpful. I went to this store to have ink tags taken off of items that I had ordered online and arrived with the tags on. Staff were very kind and helped me.

L. S.

It's Kmart... Busy and sometimes hard to find stock, but good prices. I'm not a fan of their web order service - stuff arrived separately or suddenly they couldn't find stock (yet still available on the website).

P. B.

I was very well taken care of by two wonderful female assistants. One of the assistants took me to different departments to help me find what I was looking for. Ten points for both ladies; I'm sorry I didn't get their names.

K-mart has a wide range of products. Their products are affordable and usually pretty good quality. They are world renound which means the store is always busy and bustling, this can mean that it does get crowded sometimes, but the stores are spacious and big. However, the store has a really random layout which means that you can't find your way around the store. a lot of the products are placed in very weird places. over all K-mart, Albany is a good enough place to shop.

Requires you to scan in and have to wait in a line before entering, doesn't take too long to wait especially during the start of December surprisingly. Pretty much the same old Kmart, recommended it for Christmas shopping and etc.

Helpful staff and quick lines - unlike Sylvia Park. A lot of product and was able to walk out with exactly what we needed.

Fully stoked up shelves during this busy time. Everyone is friendly.. great specials too

S. H.

Kmart Albany is probably one of the stores I like visiting the least. On my last visit it looked like the store had been ransacked. The shelves were all empty and the store was a mess. Also a store that always seems to have a que that winds around the checkout stations. Compared to other Kmarts this store always seems to be really badly merchandised and overwhelmed. I can only hope that they work on improving things.

Great prices, just be careful though, quite a few prices on the shelf don't match what you pay at checkout or online.

S. L.

Items are budget prices yet pretty reasonable quality. Click n Collect a bit disorganised, long wait despite being emailed and texted time yet another 40 mins wait in the car. Nevertheless the girls attitude was alright even though busy.

Fantastic place to shop. Plenty of products to choose from at great prices.. . 👌 I love going there often.. 😊👍

Most of the stock is gone from the shelves, gota be fast with this store

C. L.

Hate the shopping experience but the products seem to last extremely well. Many of them have the highest customer satisfaction and the positive reviews seen very accurate. Unavoidable when you want to try something you are not yet certain enough about to spend a lot of money. Many of these Kmart items became our must have favourite appliances. Years of use so far and when they do break down I will be back for more.

Your standard Kmart experience. At the moment during Covid time. Long queue to get in most of the time. And most popular items are sold out.

Great shop, has everything i needed. Love looking around has a great variety.

Albany Kmart is a great store, excellent customer service and really great understanding when we come in with our toddler.

Great prices, and much tidier than other Kmart stores that I have shopped at, today.

M. T.

Good place to shop,it has everything under the one roof.Customer service is okay,although they can do with a lil more training.they have a lot available like clothes,bikes,housewares,toys,shoes etc..self service checkouts,it can get pretty packed and the toys can be a lil more stepper in price then it's competitors.

How can a mum stop loving Kmart? It has everything I need for my house. And the price is absolutely good. More amazing thing is that the products r even better now of quality and looking!

The line was quite long, I appreciate they are keeping the congestion down in store 👍 Staff were very busy and helpful at the same time 😊

J. M.

It's great for inexpensive everyday stuff, but don't go for quality, designer gear as you will be disappointed. Checkouts are in the middle of the store, so queuing in Covid times can be unnerving with people standing right around you, less than 1 metre away.

Really good stuff and boxing day jam pack with people but Christmas items are half price

I needed food vacumm bags which showed online stock but sadly none. Pleasant experience no problems

It's a great kmart very organized and clean

Love it because you find everything you need there and the prices are very reasonable.

Great place to shop, affordable prices.

E. W.

K-mart is okay. Wouldn't be my first choice of store to go to. There seems to be a lack of tidiness of the displaying of products especially in the beauty and health. The quality of products seems to be alright. This K-mart is open until midnight which is nice. The layout of the store could be different.

Store good, staff great but shelves missing a lot of stock.

E. M.

I like the range of items that are available and the open hours are a bonus. Downside is there isn't always staff around the store to help you or answer any queries (mainly only at the checkout and you'd think with how messy the shop gets they'd be tidying shelves and making sure all appropriate stock is available and in it's correct space). Also not keen on the fact they can't order an item they've run out of from another store so you can pick it up from there. Myself and many others in the hibiscus coast community would love to see a Kmart open up in the area, possibly Silverdale with all its new developments, as I'm sure people also drive from Warkworth and further to visit the Albany store.

Always pleasant to shop here. Great products, and friendly, helpful staff. The store is clean and always have enough trolleys available.

OMGD Totally loved it..I'm so OVER Kmart Henderson. I so needed variety😎

One of the better kmart stores I've been to. Well stocked.

Website does not reflect what is in the store. Other than that, it is great.

One of the better stocked Kmarts. Was not dissatisfied

Popular, great range & well stocked. Not too crowded.

I get my Kmart fix here as it is closest to home. Usually has the items I'm looking for on the shelves.

Our family's favorite shop. We love this place.

Great range of goods. Line moved ok at checkout

S. C.

Visited later in the evening which is definitely the optimum time as it is quieter, the queues shorter & even non existent. A problem with the tag meant I was helped immediately & able to complete my purchase without holding up anyone else. Weekends tend to be a bit of a nightmare for all these reasons - queues, busyness, parking etc.

Great for finding things for a flat or house at low cost

Great place to find doggie Christmas prezzys if you are looking for that kinda thing.

Kmart has never been the same since late last year and not in a good way.....the warehouse is better

Seems like a cesspool of covid but always super cheap, tend to walk in trying to find something but end up walking out with something I don’t need.

i. l.

Affordable prices. And the best thing is they are open till midnight. I wish people would do more decent shopping there as if you visit on weekends most of the time the place is quiet messey as shoppers do not care place the goodies in the respective shelves specially on women's shoes section leaving more work for staff .

Never enjoy lining up not only to get in to shop, but checkouts is such a drag

Got a nice dress for a good price

J. T.

Always good to walk around and see what they have. Furnished a lot of our house with furniture from here. You might want to check the stuff to see if its broken before buying it though. Save yourself a trip back.

It's Kmart, cookie cutter model but great range at reasonable prices.

Good store location inside the mall. Parking is quite convenient.

They say they wanna make sure customers happy with purchase and allow for a return within 28 days. But when i tried to return the cat carry bag, they said because it was used and cannot be return. I just used once and it is clean. Also, how could I know i don't like the product if I don't use it.

Excellent selection of reasonably priced quality items.

Not enough stock with fans and air coolers and big queue

Very empty but it was good to browse and sort out my phone cover

K. L.

It was hard to find the items I was looking for. They seemed to be out of stock of a lot of different sizes and styles of men's clothes. Also, the store organization was a little hard to understand. Good products for the price (for the most part). On previous visits they have been out of stock of basic kitchen items such as coffee mugs. It's a busy location and there seems to always be lines, but the staff and self checkouts make the line move quickly. If the line is too long, I just leave.

If u want cheap stuff and look ok u must come here!

I recently bought clothing from the store. Unfortunately I dropped my wallet in the changing rooms. I am old fashioned so not only were my cards in the wallet but also a considerable amount of cash. I realised I had lost it when I got to the checkout and imediately went and asked if it had been handed in.To my relief the Iady working the rooms had found it and had given it to the supervisor. Well done that lady and Kmart for employing her. I hope she gets a promotion.

N. G.

Needed cheap cat toys and bed, great pricing and plenty of stock.

E. v.

Great shop, with nearly everything you need, from lollies and toys, to kitchen and household items, through to clothing and shoes for the whole family. Some good styles and many new to NZ looks for you and your house. We love going and browsing and most of the time will not leave without purchasing something!

Kmart!! The place with the most variety of different brands and products I haven’t seen before! I also liked how the staff was very friendly. And that the prices were all very low and had good deals, I would recommend Kmart to a lot of friends and family. I had a good time there! I never had to refund a single thing.

Great selection of products but empty and messy shelves make shopping harder than it should be. The self-checkouts are incredibly packed in, making it the most hectic part of the store. However, their online shopping solves most of these problems!

Pros- cheap and cheerful, wide selection of mostly quite impressive quality goods. Cons-super long queues to checkouts, not enough floor staff if you need assistance.

Early shopping today at 9.30 am. No crowds. Shelves a bit empty.

Great for homewares and clothing at very reasonable prices.

Got a $9 throwaway airbed to muck around with, gangsta as, was cheaper than the whoryhouse

P. M.

It's always like shopping in a jumble sale (will they have my size? who knows!), but was amazed today to find leather school shoes for the kids for $25 each. Fantastic.

Nice place, good customer service！

Overall well stocked with a vast of stock at a good price. But lack of staff and the illogical placing of the checkout is frustrating. Seemed a lot better when the checkout was by the exit and better staffed. Fell they are saving on staff costs at the expense of saving a buck and customer satisfaction

C. T.

Super clean, super helpful and stacked with your every need! Staffs always really helpful and well organized, however theres often a line so long it snakes right through the store. That being said checkouts generally quick and painless :)

Good shopping and good to see all customers wearing masks

H. C.

You know, sometimes when you scrape the bottom of the barrel, you'll find a nice fish tucked in on the rim - and that's the same sentiment I feel towards this Kmart when I found a cool Sprite T-Shirt here so it gets a tick in my books :)

B. C.

Cheap stuff at cheap prices. Never had a wait issue as I judge the time before I go. Kmart seems cleaner that the Warehouse. I do worry about their labor conditions for staff and where their goods are made which puts me off from shopping 99% of the time.

A complete mess. Dad because it used to be good but even their online service has slipped

Quite an interesting shop for reasonable clothing or household items.

B. H.

Hard to find items, shelves are often empty. They do have some excellent prices for kitchens. Cushions are also well priced.

Good value. Easy shopping.

S. H.

Lovely place. Happy shopping there. All inclusive and beautiful products with good price! Ps. Online shopping also is wonderful!

w. h.

Got a $9 throwaway airbed to muck around with, gangsta as, was cheaper than the whoryhouse

Exact same store layout as Australia... So much so that I walked in and directly went to the pet section without looking at signs or asking store staff! Very nice

K Mart is one of those places that just has everything! The prices are amazing, and the product pretty damn good. I love K Mart big time!!!!👍👍👍

I really enjoy to shop in the Kmart I'll always do the stuff he was very helpful thank you see you again soon

Some good bargains. A bit muddled. Specials seemed to be separate from their areas.

It's Kmart... you know what you're getting. Its fine for cheap homewares and toys - but keep your receipts because whatever you've bought will undoubtedly break. The website feels like it was made by someone who was intentionally trying to annoy customers.

You know we all love Kmart but jeez it gets busy and jeez stock disappears. On our most recent visit the shelves were bare... we found one thing we were looking for but the rest 🤷‍♀️

B. G.

This place has sharpened up immensely over the last 6 months. I had the pleasure if speaking with a someone named Kylie whilst in store she was friendly, helpful and polite. Keep up the great work

G. B.

I couldnt find what i was looking for. They dont have the soap dish that i need. It would be nice if they have more choices. But its lovely to see lots of other things in kmart -cheap price. Its just a shame it doesnt have what i need today

E. J.

Not a fan of kmart in general but I think the busy checkouts made it worse. Large store and easy to find where things are but it was a little messy. Could just be because of how busy it was.

Good price, variety of products

Friendly staff.. loved shopping there..

L. J.

Like shopping at kmart, you get what you pay for, cotton clothing will have shrinkage and not high quality but you have to expect that. Brought a deck chair to watch some sports for a day, cheap but surprising good quality metal and fabric director type chair. Very comfy. Brought singlets, bras, tees, pajamas for elderly mums new season wardrobe boost and she was very happy with the bright colors. Usual hectic chaos at the stupid checkout system they use. Good easy to see covid-19 QR code at the entrance.

Good place for house hold shop

h. b.

Perhaps the time of year but shocked at the poor quality of clothing here. Who buys such rubbish. Of all the Aussie stores in NZ this would have the poorest quality. Other products mediocre. It worries me how much stuff we import that doesn't last and ends up in landfills.

Bad customer service!! One of the workers lied to me that the humidifiers are out of stock and said I have to go to saint Luke's or some other kmart over the bridge if I needed one asap. Just on my way out of the shop I saw a whole lot of them!!

Had what we wanted at a great price

They have got everything. Friendly staff

Long as check out lines. But always best place for good bargains. Why do I always go home with stuff I don't even need? LOL

R. H.

It's nice to see Kmart have fun funky clothes for us big beautiful ladies♥️ Thanks Kmart for the cool clothes

D. M.

There is insufficient checkout to support the size of the shop. Even midday shopping excursions during the working week in the middle of a school term are met with queues snaking around the store! The selection of merchandise is also simply too wide for the physical size of the store and the approach of simply adding more shelving space has had the effect of making it more of a bazaar than a retail outlet.

This is a lovely dog friendly flat walk with achildrensplayground at the primaryschool the grand kids love it and want to go there when staying with grandad.

J. L.

It’s a Kmart - don’t expect help on the shop floor or the products to be life long family heirlooms BUT if you need that salt shaker or towel rack at 11pm on a Wednesday night... you know where to go. During peak times you will have lines longer than some traffic queues but they move pretty fast so don’t expect to waiting longer than 20 mins but in rush hour... you will be waiting 20 mins.

Well it is what it is, busy with people buying cheap stuff and ques for days. I decided to buy some items online, they got split into 4 different couriers and one item was never deliveted although it said it was. It was an $8 pair of track pants for my 3 year old so couldnt be bothered with the conundrum.

Exact same store layout as Australia... So much so that I walked in and directly went to the pet section without looking at signs or asking store staff! Very nice

A large scale store . Very tidy and plenty of stock available . Lots of staff in the store tidying up and restocking the shelves . Under a good Manager by the looks of it .

K Mart is one of those places that just has everything! The prices are amazing, and the product pretty damn good. I love K Mart big time!!!!👍👍👍

One of the best well presented K-Marts that we've been too and one we always pop in when in Rotorua. Shelves are always well stocked and staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Other K-Marts could learn a thing or two from this branch 👍😀

Lovely place. Happy shopping there. All inclusive and beautiful products with good price! Ps. Online shopping also is wonderful!

B. D.

Good store for when you are shopping on a budget. Good for cheap kids clothing. The checkout system could be better. The layout makes it had for most people to see around the corner on the customer service desk. This can cause a huge queue of people. Might be helpful to post a worker on the corner letting you know when a checkout is free.

Great price at great items.

Good service and great prices

I find this kmart has the best range of kids books and a bad selection of storage containers/baskets

Good and cheap everyday necessity stuff.

As always great selection, excellent products at keen prices

Kmart is budget friendly, super busy and really hard to find prices on ANYTHING!!! DRIVES ME CRAZY

A great place to shop. Friendly service, good restaurant area

Pros- cheap and cheerful, wide selection of mostly quite impressive quality goods. Cons-super long queues to checkouts, not enough floor staff if you need assistance.

Good place to shop.

The mega checkout queue is fast and the staff work hard, really good.

It has a good location and the customer service is good. Though it is a little crowded (in a good way). It is a great place for shopping.

A. C.

Not enough stores available across the city. Checkout system is good but struggles to cope in busy periods. Plastic Bags still available at Checkouts, thank God. Stock levels very high. Mens jeans good quality and insanely affordable. Finding staff on the floor to assist not a problem. Will shop again.

Just your usual Kmart, nothing too special

Love kmart really good prices

Kmart is budget friendly, super busy and really hard to find prices on ANYTHING!!! DRIVES ME CRAZY

Great variety of products but I'm not a fan of the self checkout in the middle of the store. I suppose it saves the business alot of money in staff numbers and that's really all that counts to businesses these days.

good deal for most stuffs

S. B.

Busy store, I don't enjoy going to Kmart. Staff were very helpful with my return. Have had to return this pot twice because I noticed it was damaged both times after getting home and taking the packaging off.

Value for money, good quality products, always new products/ideas.

Long wait standard K Mart things though

Very big. Very reasonable price

M. C.

Wow it's so cheap and genuine. You can, if your lucky, still see the tiny fingerprints from the sweatshop, child labour, workers fresh on the barely dry toxic painted toys they would love to be playing with if only they weren't working 80 hours a week. The irony! Perfect land fillers for your stocking. Get into it!

Hard to find customer service staff as they are always too busy. K mart should look to open up another store somewhere in takapuna or glenfield. North shore population has increased quite a lot hence there is opportunity for k mart

Chaos as always. Messy and long queues with inattentive staff, self service checkouts are a pain as they need to clarify that gift card payment is not actually gift cards at all, that's for store issued credit notes it seems. I try to like Kmart but its always stressful, which means I spend minimum time in store. Once I found a $50 note in this store. Took it to the checkout to hand it in. They took it. Said it would go out the back incase the owner came for it, and what do you know, they never took my details, and so I don't know what happened with this money and they may have never handed it to the rightful owner either.

Good place to visit to buy things, but there may be massive line if you are buying it's best to hurry like write down a list and then find it and get it line before anyone else goes.

Good place to shop, reasonably price things with variety of choices!

S. W.

Lots of goodies in store. Followed my daughter around for 1/2 hr and came out with what she went in for. Store is nice and clean and the staff are polite and present well.

Nice big store its pretty crazy seeing the big que but it goes rather fast awesome service

I really enjoy to shop in the Kmart I'll always do the stuff he was very helpful thank you see you again soon

Amazing large store with great deals, huge variety and extremely useful employees. Slightly messy but with such a large store it's understandably hard to manage.

M. S.

Nice and close to am entrance in the mall. This shop was well stocked on the two visit over the holiday season. However it was a bit of a mess with shelves over full after the new year. Stocks a good range of clothes, shoes, homewares and kids stuff etc.

I have visited several Kmarts and this one has the best floor plan. But like other Kmarts, it is hard to find price tags. And the staff are slightly more unkind compared to other kmarts.

Some good bargains. A bit muddled. Specials seemed to be separate from their areas.

One of the best outlet of kmart

A great place for almost anything you need. Where else can you find good jeans for $8? And the quality well its still lasting and its over a year now with the colour still the same. Thats just one of the things. Plus they have added longer trading hours.

Always a fun shop. Go in for one thing come out with much more. The shelves are looking a bit empty, probably due to covid but there are still some good funds to be had

Always get great deals here, although it's 50/50 whether the item will disintegrate in a week or last for a decade.

S. G. G.

Their opening hours of 8-12 a.m. is really convenient for some emergency buying. The place is well lit and easy to find what you want. Their stationary section gets kind of messy so it's best to check in time and again and buy just when they put new things up. The prices is cheaper than other stationary stores, I think. I find it's best to search on their website for stock availability first before going to the store to see and buy the actual product. They have a great baby section, too. Also a whole section dedicated to active wear. It's best to check the condition of the product before you buy just in case there's some damage to it that would make you not buy it.

If you have never been to kmart it is a must! Suuuuch gooood deals!!! Albany kmart is my go to, it has a very good selection of anything and everything!

C. P.

So very busy, worst idea to have checkout where it is. But still has a great selection of items. Sadly. There is always coat hangers all left on the ground in changing rooms and close in trolleys rather than on shelves. Still its kmart and I sure do love going

The place is fine. The issue I had is that their website shows items in store which have arrived but not unpacked. So, poor work in the information department.....

R. B.

We often go to Kmart as the products are pretty good at a reasonable price. I do find that having the checkouts in the middle of the store with a long meandering queue is a bit odd, but we've mostly gotten used to it now. If you're looking for cheap but nice then this is the place to go.

The queue is only getting shorter because people are dying of old age.

One of the biggest Kmart. Its same like most of the other store. Good ranges of products in a cheaper price and all of them open till 11pm.

Love this store for the sales, products, everything. The only thing that can be hard is the long queues for paying. Otherwise great work team!

N. M.

Great that they stay open till late but as always you have to keep a keen eye on the till when you go through as often what you purchase is dearer than it appears to be. I find their marked down items are displayed with similar items that are not marked down causing confusion and overspending if you aren't watching.

K. D.

Great range of fast fashion and homewares. Always pretty tidy considering how busy it is. Would score higher if their checkouts weren't so ridiculous- the queues often make us give up and leave

Cheap yet good quality.

Kmarts always great lol 😆 got a peppa pig top for $10 and coloring book for $1.75

S. J.

Nice and big really good prices for all most everything there. It gets pretty rather busy but the staff normally start managing were people go at cheak out and that helps a lot. Have never run in to any issues there even returned an item with no invoice and it was no problem at all. Even forgot my wallet and they held it for me while I ran to the car, giving priority when I got back just really nice and helpful.

ALWAYS INTERESTING AND GREAT BARGAINS

Oh, kmart, how do I love thee... Let me count the ways... Love the store lay out, products and most of all the prices!!

Kmarts always great lol 😆 got a peppa pig top for $10 and coloring book for $1.75

Love kmart it has the same layout no matter where you go!!

Great place, always lots to see

It's Kmart, cheap things good variety just don't expect top quality materials

Love this store for the sales, products, everything. The only thing that can be hard is the long queues for paying. Otherwise great work team!

C. C.

While everything I want is usually always sold out, the things I do get are excellent and deliveries are packed better than expected. In fact I can't fault Kmart and the service, as good as any store in any price bracket! Thanks Kmart :)

Huge savings at KMart. They have cheap quality products

Toys were cheap. Could find some good toys with cheap price.

Big shop and very competitive prices and good deals

most of time out of stock

Always a good time at Kmart buying the essentials and fun stuff as well. There is always some new little gadget or pretty thing for the house. Yes the line is always crazy, but it goes pretty fast with the staff ensuring everyone gets to a paying machine quickly.

More stocks compared to other branches.

Products are great but I seem to battle to find what I am looking for in store, I like browsing online first and have have purchased online a few times before

It has a good location and the customer service is good. Though it is a little crowded (in a good way). It is a great place for shopping.

Out of mens large underwear and t shirts

T. D.

Always an expensive place to visit... Not because things are pricey but because you always end up spending more time &.money in the store than you'd planned too because things are reasonably priced. Needs a better system for the line when there is a large queue - makes for difficult shopping when you have to weave amongst people waiting for checkouts.. unfortunately this isn't restricted to the holiday period.

Convienent with extended shopping hours open Monday to Sunday. They have loads of options for clothing, homeware, house hold goods, small furniture, kids/baby toys or accesories and personal grooming, tech, stationary and pet grooming. Prices are reasonable and wait time in queue's are not long.

It's Kmart, cheap things good variety just don't expect top quality materials

one of the best Kmart with all thew product availability.

Always good quality and value

r. d.

Good shop great prices But - - - they need to take a serious look at the checkouts it's just not correct I heard customers say look. At the queues not standing in that. They need a different system of servicing there customers quicker and more efficient,

I love Kmart so much. Everything has great bargains, and doesn’t seem to break, even after constant use. I have a couple of decorative pillows, which haven’t broken, and I’ve had them for a while. I also purchased a pair of ear buds for $2! They haven’t broken, and I’ve had them for a couple of months, and they even came with a 12 month warranty. It is a great store for all the essentials, and even some luxury items. They offer a whole range of different items, from home decor, to sports equipment, to clothes, and even hygiene and beauty products! Overall it is one of my favourite stores, and my friends and I go quite often, as we love all the deals and products.

I love this track, great for the family. Can cross the road and your at Orewa beach. Multiple restrooms throughout the track. Stop in at millie's cafe and get yourself a coffee.

B. N.

some good selection In all the areas of home and dining, you know the sort of stuff you would find in a Briscoes. but me being that type of person found a lack of lollie selection for the reasonable price and quantity. you would find 2 kg bags for like 7 dollars, and you would find little 12 gram packets for 2 dollars. So all in all a ok place.

Cheap and cheerful. Too crowded and under staffed. Payment queue was moving in a decent speed despite the silly length of the line, or rather spiral than a line.

Lots of variety bargains huge range of stuff here very busy love the price.

As always great selection, excellent products at keen prices

Nice and tidy store that's usually well stocked. Only gripe is that customer service is kinda meh and the checkout section is far too small for a store this busy.

Very busy. Lots of goodies.

A. T.

Their shops looks modern and stocked with plenty of stuffs. However, I feel that their design is exactly like their st lukes store; and exact replica, where the same items is located at the same spot in the store at both store. Though gives familiarity to their patron, I does feel that once I get into one of their store, I've been into any of theirs. Staff members are quite friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

K. G.

It's a Kmart, you know what to expect from them. The queue for the checkouts is often very long, but it tends to move along at a decent rate. I can imagine it being a lot longer during peak shopping hours however. Not somewhere you are likely to dash into and out of again.

T. A.

Wide selection and some of the cheapest prices in town. If you've ever been here you know what to expect. Beware though, sometimes the queue can go half way around the store. The price you pay for good quality, cheap goods.

A. M.

Good variety. Competitive prices. Flexible return policy and good customer service. Opens till midnight which I really consider a competitive advantage in NZ where life sleeps after five 😂

S. S.

Love to shop for home decor stuff, want good prices ? From Home Decor, to kitchen utilities, small furniture, fake plants to clothes. They have it all. Best of all its open till 12 AM most days, if you wanna avoid the traffic.

N. F.

Always find what you want here. Would have been 5 stars but the queues are always extremely long over the weekend. It would be a much easier and lighter shopping experience if the queues are not that long

S. W.

Love Kmart but they are becoming a victim of their own success. If you don't time it right the queues for checkout are absolutely massive Pays to go earlier or late at night in my experience

Can't get personal help here just do it yourself. Plastic boxes for storage had multiple lids that were broken not a good look.

M. B.

Great for setting up and shopping on a limited budget. A good alternative to IKEA. Expect the same quality. Wear a sweater 'cause they have the a/c on crazy high. Choose you shopping chart wisely otherwise you will be wrestling with it for the duration of your shopping experience.

R. K.

Just like many k marts it is complete packed during the day. The staff are patient, constantly making sure every isle is clean and almost every customer is catered too (there are only so many of them and so much more of us). But I can always trust the Albany k mart to have everything I'm looking for in stick. Unlike Henderson.

Very clean and plenty of great stores.

A. S.

Cheap stuff - no service whatsoever- be prepared to queue. The tills are self service but badly designed so the head of the queue cant see the tills so have ni o idea if they are empty or not. I've walked out with buying my chosen items before as till queue is too long and slow.

Great shop, plenty of product and freindly staff, only upset was no much prices wer being displayed.

Great click and collect service and amazing options for the home!

D. C.

This is the go-to shop for my 12 year old daughter for everything! They have a great range of products at quite good prices, and often have good sales meaning she can get more value for her money. I find the single-queue foe the checkouts an interesting concept but it really works well;very rarely do you have to wait long even when the queue seems to snake halfway round the shop!

Great click and collect service during level 3 lockdown. However during level 1, place is an absolute mess, very busy and not very friendly staff.

Very good, have everything i needed and have a good selection of Stuff :)

S. G.

Great place to shop for everyday living needs and essentials. The only issue I have is I feel sorry for the staff having to pick up after some of the lazy customers that look, pick up and throw items on the ground especially in the clothing department. All in all it's a great place to shop.

Always sweet as, loads of new goodies and coolio prices, like a child in a candy store I am in kmart lol

Always positive shopping here, provided you either shop early or late to avoid the huge crowds at Checkouts.

J. S.

Everything you might want at an affordable price. They have a great variety with needs for the whole family big to small. They have a great selection of workwear, sports gear, clothing, hand bags, crockery, tupperware, home decor, toys, sweets and so much more. Great spot to put together a last minute gift.

Forgetful as I am, I have almost lost my phone. But very helpful employees helped me find it. Thank you very much ! Good prices and wonderful employees!

J. W.

I like this shopping centre but had so much trouble finding it off the motorway heading north from the harbour bridge. I also had problems with the lightening, the smells in the shops and the load music in the stores. Must be getting older but had allegies and sore eyes and sneezed the whole time I was in there. Wasn't pleasent. However only go once every 3 years on average.

Difficult to shop with covid regulations in place

Good cheap reduced to clear products and huge store to find most yr shopping needs.

Cheap and cheerful. Bargains to be had. Only negative would be the check-out. Lots of patience required there.

KMart is pretty popular. If you want items ie coffee machine got to get in early. All my shopping experience is primo

Not keen on the self service checkout system. It was very chaotic! Shop pretty messy ...I know customers make the mess but staff should tidy up more. There were shoes all over the floor and sizes all over the place.

Website stock not found in store and staff not well informed on what is available. Good value for money on various items

W. O.

Nice easy shopping place.

T. E.

I love Kmart. It's always busy and not enough people on the counters/self check outs. Those machines always have issues so it would be nice to have more than one person there to help at busy times.

D. Y. A.

They are good and have lots of things, like everything in one place (except food 😉). However, what I don't like is the way of payment. Sometimes loooong queue because there is just one path for all costumers to pay. It's a silly mistake, Kmart administration. You have to make several lanes for paying with a separate lane for self checkouts.

M. N.

You find lots of things here for a fairly good price. They also are open late hours which means you can shop after work and have lots of parking space available. The only thing that troubles me is the long lines while waiting to pay for my shopping (applies on very busy hours only).

A great place to shop. Friendly service, good restaurant area

D. G. (.

it's K Mart! got these great planters for 50 bones each

J. d. P.

Huge savings at KMart. They have cheap quality products

J. B.

Full of landfill but you already knew that. It's great for what it is, but don't expect the products to last long. I shop here for the odd thing like facial wipes and cereal containers and really can't go wrong with simple things like that.

Great items with costs that wont break you budget however some of the boxes are ripped or opened already.

wide selection of items, very spacious and diverse, can get a LITTLE messy on saturdays at 5pm, pretty good overall. biggest peak was aidan darlington, he made it so much better

Staff were great

I like KMart. It has a wide range of reasonably priced department store products. It's also great for unexpected items like stationery ... so much more affordable than specialty stationery stores.

J. A.

A big shout out to Carlene, the lovely young blonde lady working in sporting section yesterday afternoon. I noticed what appeared to be either a big puddle of juice or wee on the floor in one of the aisles and could see it had been walked through several times from the track marks on the floor. I mentioned it to one of the staff who was not interested and looked like she was having a bad day (fair enough it was a busy Christmas period), so I mentioned it to Carlene who was packing items on the shelf nearby. She sincerely thanked me for letting her know and and immediately went to get items to clean it up, which she cleaned promptly. She was so lovely and polite, even when it meant cleaning up someone else's mess, especially if it wasn't juice :( Kmart should be proud to have staff like Carlene working there... people with a great attitude and who go the extra mile... very rare these days!!!

This place is so dangerous, love It

C. C.

I love browsing the place, see ideas for deco and the cheap items but I never actually have the patience to buy anything. The long queue discourages me everytime. It opens until late so I might take my chances in the evenings when it's less busy.

Same as other Kmarts

Who doesn't love Kmart? The place gets a bit hectic at times, but all things considered, the staff do a pretty great job at keeping everything running and tidy as possible...it's other customers that create the problems by tossing stuff on the floor and moving product to other areas of the store....but alas, I still love a good shop at Kmart.

J. C.

Always a great experience until reaching the checkout. Current self checkout POS system is clunky and relies on supervisors intervention too much often causing an unnecessary backlog of customers. An example of a self checkout POS experience that Kmart could learn some lessons from and is likely to work better is The Warehouse self checkout. A lot more responsive and streamlined experience. Once again great shopping experience in regards to product range but until the checkout experience improved I shall keep those 2 stars.

Not bad but the line for paying is weird and people cut you off and not much cash sales options

Usual Kmart. We all know Kmart is the most affordable place for stuff - I particularly go there for Kids cloths, shoes, toys, gift items, some cheap home-ware etc. For Albany K-Mart, I would suggest go in weekdays after hours (as its open until midnight), rather that on weekends; as its literally a mess on weekends - difficult to find your size, color /pattern options from the pile of things lying around. I wish there was some staff around to guide customers if needed.

m. l.

Price is always good however hardly have staff look after me when the self service cashier not working with my card payment. I try to find a staff twice but it was so busy. I stood there for more than a min. I finally moved to another cashier and finished the payment and left.

B. O.

Best shop ever! Lol. Great prices for a range of products from clothing and underwear to kitchenware, pots pans and kids toys. Big range of products. Products generally seem good quality for fair prices. One of our familys favourite shops :)

G. K.

Typical Kmart nothing majorly different than other stores but has a great selection of stock from toys to clothes to garden to home. Nice place to pass the time plenty to see and do friendly staff clean not over crowded. Plenty of parking opens late nights always have in store deals and discounts

G. G.

Good store where you can find pretty much everything. The prices are very good and lately they are backed by decent quality unlike 5-6 years ago when the quality was more towards 2 $ shop. Really their products worth the money

Very tidy

Finally have some stock on their shelves.

Called in to Albany Kmark and waited 25 mins in there line to get in to the store felt dissapointed how very low in stock that was on there shelves half of what I had on my list was not available to even buy but hard times but it is understandable for retail to get enough stock quick enough at the moment. looking forward to calling back in this week.

Love this shop. Such a variety of products and even when there is cues at checkout it somehow keeps moving really fast. Self serve is awesome too. I go to Kmart everytime I go to Albany.

Out of stock on many items Shelves looking bare in some parts. Great store, neat and clean

T. H.

good range of budget products. but the shop can be very messy sometimes. there are only self check out kiosks available. the check out area is in the middle of the shop with a single entrance, very hard to see if any kiosks are free in the far end during the peak period. the queue was very long. it seems the company tries very hard to cut down staff cost. i think the layout of check out area need some improvement.

Love the stock. There are some awesome purchases to be made. I hate the checkout system. The queueing can be horrendous and I dislike that there are so many self service checkouts

I just love Kmart it has everything you need and things you didn't know you need 🤣 it's pretty organized and well priced but don't go on peek hours it's a nightmare of people! Good news it closes at midnight

All sorts of groceries can be found here and most of them are very affordable options. Some, however, only come with decent but not great build quality, but you get what you pay for overall.

Hardly any department staff around to help, stock is good, but some sections are not tidy and garments just left on the floor...

Kmart in Albany seems more neat than the one in Henderson but it seems to have less stock maybe? 🤔

B. B.

lots of choices, affordable, and best of all,closes at 12am so you can still shop if you have urgent stuff needed the next day. i hope they could make it 24 hrs

K mart is k mart have what you need

Westfield Albany Kmart has great variety of products at great prices. We had to return a defective product and the service was seamless, only would've hoped to swap for a working unit instead of money back, but there was no more stock.

The website stock doesn't seem to be accurate, few products I was interested and showed they had in stock at the branch, when I asked, they told me they don't have in stock. Price is good but a bit messy their sections to find what you are looking.

Awesome shop with great selection and prices,lots of people enjoying all the great products. Another reason why I enjoy Westfield Albany. 😊

Busy but organised.

Lots of products to choose from very reasonably priced and quality very good. Most times I have found what I was looking for or an alternative.

C. C.

Great bargains but what a shambles of a store. There is not one rack that has a single style on it. It's all completely messed up. And I know this is a nation wide layout, but whoever the designed the checkout layout needs to have their head checked.

Hard to find staff, but those I found were helpful. Managed to find the item I was after.

R. A.

Regulation large Kmart store with complete range of products. The opening times till midnight are a bonus. Good customer service. There can be large queues for checkout on any day. Well stocked too.

Average kind of roadside cafe, whitebait a bit disappointing.

S. T.

Standard store full of low quality product. But when you need it, you know where to find it! Central checkout in the middle of the store might be statistically more efficient, but it feels like your there longer. And the tunnel of "last minute junk" you have to travel through to get to the self checkout is so obvious it's insulting.

Favorite place to be!. Good products at great prices. Always a good deal on.

Has a lot of stuff, one of my wife's favourite shopping places, although checkout ques can get long

Good pie makers but lollies are all made in chjna

I like walking around here it's pretty good for presents and prices are really great .I just don't like the check out counters where you have to self serve ...the bells keep going off and clients are frustrated I rather be served or have an option to choose the self check out counters ..too many people waiting I'm line and it was not even a weekend .

A. F.

Went to Kmart to buy a rugby ball for the kid. Price was great compared to other stores, but it would have taken an hour to get to check out. Left the ball and went across the road to the Warehouse.

T. C.

Easy to browse, friendly helpful staff when you need assistance. No issues when a product is faulty... although we've only had one in 20 years of shopping at Kmart.

Good and cheap everyday necessity stuff.

Can find almost everything you need, sharp price, reasonable quality for the price, if went wrong can always get another one thu warranty

Loads of stuff. It's mostly cheap, and the quality reflects the price. You can get almost anything here though! Checkouts usually have long queues, especially at weekends.

T. T.

Well they sell a literal hotdog... Need I say more?

most of time out of stock

I love Kmart but the line is always long. They have like 2 people working tills and managing machines so you're stuck in a line for 5 hours behind a mum and her crying child.

The mega checkout queue is fast and the staff work hard, really good.

Great choice of products and well priced. It's good that most of the stores have more or less the same layout, makes it easier to shop.

I returned a coffee machine that I oredered online that was faulty. However, it was delivered in 2 days, when returned, money reflected immediately. I left my keys in the store and had to return for it. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Pity the machine was faulty lol...

Love this place, have a lot off stuff and is very popular with people. Is always busy.

Good store, friendly staff but for toilet facilities quite far away especially with children.

Cheap robust products. Animates for pet equipment $200. Stuff that go to Kmart get everything you.need for $30. Boom!

Good place to shop.

According to the staff member I just asked the best time to go is at 2.30 as all the parents are busy picking up their kids and are not shopping!

Love the choices of things we can buy at reasonable prices. But the queue for checkout and customer service is always long.

Busy as usual plenty of stock

It was okay. Stock wasn't there which we were looking for but understand given situation with covid

I really like shopping at Kmart when I know what I need and I can just pop in and get it but if you aren't sure what you're looking for then it takes a lot longer than it should. The paying system is terrible and it's kind of hard to find staff to help you but it is VERY inexpensive and a great place to quickly go and grab one or two things

love me some kmart

Comfortable shopping experience

Y. L.

Good price and some quality products

One of my favorite places to shop, large varieties and good prices.

The next place is as close to the warehouse.

Always spend more than needed. Kmart is life!

Awesome experience i had

I find this store very overwhelming as its aleays so busy and quite messy

A must visit store for your everyday needs, open till midnight, it’s just amazing. The furnitures are stylish and very affordable, far better than the competitions.

It's got fantastic variety although sometimes you have to search for stock that isn't damaged as there seems to be a fair amount of that around. I might just be unlucky.

The online inventory does not match what is there. In fact the shelves were quite bare!! Covid flow one effect maybe.

I love the store the prices are good but they do not stock larger sizes x 7 x 6 which means I have to go to other stores that do I don't even mind Payne a dollar or so Moore☺

Quite chaotic on a pre Xmas weekend with products all over the floor and no available carts or baskets. Still have everything available though. Queue was super long around a quarter of the store and even more chaotic. Such is the holiday season.

It's the usual KMart experience but I find this store to be unusually efficient during times of heavy traffic. The also have a good selection of craft materials and colourful stationary.

Excellent for basics to get a house going. Stock levels always good and you can easily check online before you go so can go to another shop if necessary.

Open 'til midnight. I mean that should be enough 😂😂😂😂 lots of parking. In a mall with tons of food places and other shops. Just across from Albany mega centre . Easy access to and from motorway . Big branch . Never needed to go to another branch.... found everything I needed at this one

N. D.

Clothes section, particulalrly sports, has decent choice, but all the most popular sizes are out of stock. What's the point then. Very long queues to self checkouts too.

Gets super busy. Staff unfriendly. Self check out has long lines but it moves quickly

Good prices. Great for what it is. Makes my life better. Too bad the US Kmart is run by a bunch of muppets.

Big shop and very competitive prices and good deals

Love Kmart for all household products! Restocking takes a little longer than other stores though, and the queue can be very long on busy days.

Massive range of products, can be a bit hard to find things, staff are helpful and self service checkout makes buying items fast, less queuing.

Lots of stock, quite a large store, it was very busy at lunch time though. Quality is not great in some lines.

Well priced stock for those on a budget, but if you are concerned about Covid, avoid the place, no one socially distances

Super place for cheap and long lasting stuff.. long queue but all for the cool stuff.

I find stock is all over the place. And not organized. But if you keep looking you can find the product your after.

Loved it got what I wanted asked person at the door what I needed purchase, paid and left.

The Warehouse could learn from Kmart how present themselves better instead of looking an old manufacturing shed and how 2 make low cost goods look expensive. my wife loves shopping kmart
