Reviews of H&J Smith Invercargill
J.
Yes I went Shopping again looking for a bag. A very lovely lady assisted me and we got chatting I had a very nice experience looking at the bags
Good variety seeing its nearly Christmas.
The department store was very busy.
Unfortunately when I went upstairs a staff member wasn't quite as helpful and while I was talking to her,
She started walking off back to the counter.
Restaurant inside
H & J Smith.
Then I went for lunch
With my Husband
And we ordered
2 x bowls of hot chips
To eat in
And 1 x meal to take away.
And a rude waitress
Gave us hot chips in a box each, instead of in a bowl.
My husband said we are eating here, and we don't want to eat out of a box, we ordered one take away meal and two - orders to eat in the restaraunt.
The waitress was adamant that the Chef said you have to eat it in a box and walked off. We were shocked
We said we don't want to eat out of a box!
Once again we were in the middle of talking to the waitress when she walked off.
Even other customers by us were commenting.
Thats strange we would be given hit chips in a box.
So Fortunately we asked to see the Chef
And explained what happened and the Chef was very apologetic
About what happened
And The Chef kindly came back a second time not only with an apology but with some sweets on the house.
The Chef was the Hero
Of the day. with
Wisdom and, great Customer service she
Saved the day for us.
Very genuinely.
Will we go back?
Of course mistakes happen . life's too short
To hold grudges
But hopefully it won't happen again.
Thats why customer service is so important it can either make or brake your
Experience.
R.
I ordered online and the package arrived promptly, but what really impressed me was the signed note from the staff member that processed the order thanking me for my purchase. It's a really nice touch and I will definitely shop here again
J.
Fantastic service today from the young guy in the bike dept.
Very helpful and friendly.
And then when I was parked in the loading park outside loading my new bike into my ute the wonderful guy who guards the loading area put my bike in for me!
Made my day!🙂🙂🙂
R.
Love H & J Smith's, great selection. Walked in said I wanted shoes, 5 minutes later I had the perfect pair. Thanks to helpful staff. Still my favorite department store, shopping nights are wonderful for working people and they have great staff, great products and great service.
P.
Buying school uniform, excellent service from staff.
As I am not from Southland, the service was genuine, and made the shopping so much easier.
J.
They store itself is beautiful however the staff member who served me was rather condescending and made me feel I was unwelcome in H&J Smith
M.
Always love this shop! ❤️ Great staff, great service and wonderful goods to satisfy😊
M.
Two sales personnel were helpful in choosing my winter wardrobe and my scent. Bit it would be great if the price of the product is shown at the back. It saves time asking someone, while browsing or having a look around
J.
Expensive but good old fashioned store with high quality goods. You get what you pay for in the end. Would hate to lose them.
T.
Loved loved this shop everything you would ever need, also a great history of the fastest Indian
I.
Another popular shop in Invercargill, i only go there when is a sale is on .
J.
Great store. Got everything, great quality stuff too. Great staff. Remember it being magic going here as a kid (remember mice and model trains?) and is still great now. Lots of good clothes shopping, also lots of good shops along Kelvin St.
G.
Exceptional variety something for everyone type of store.
H.
Lovely shop assistant and I purchased some beautiful products from the MOR marshmallow. Very happy
J.
Awesome service. Felt very well looked after
S.
One of the best stores in the South Island offering a wonderful choice in every single department. Ladies clothing general everyday and a boutique section. A superb selection of ladies underwear and night attire as well as shoes and a large selection of clothing for men, sports wear etc. Upstairs the furnishing department is always worth browsing even if not buying. Curtains, Manchester, Crystal. Ornaments, kitchenware and other items for the home.
L.
The person who helped me fit a bra was called Brenda. I shopped at 1:46 p.m. 10/11/20 and purchased 3 bras. I want to thank her for her expertise in her knowledge and obvious experience of fitting bras. Such a rare ability. In addition I found that her professional approach made me feel comfortable. She also made entirely sure that the bras fit exactly right.
S.
Always a great store to shop in. Staff are awesome & always there to help
K.
Invercargills only real department store. Excellent brands and the staff are lovely
Great cosmetics section too.
S.
I'm a card member and enjoy shopping here. Fantastic range of clothing and other items also fantastic food available. Highly recommend.
J.
An expensive store to shop at but is clean and plenty of space to move around.
The copper kettle tearooms is not anywhere near as good as it was.
S.
Spent most of the day there. So much to see
A.
Finest quality but comes with price.
Can get bargains when sales are on or Card holder day.
Pretty baby clothing n soft toys.
Home decor is beautiful and very good quality.
Jewellery and watches plus fragrance and aftershave are really great gift ideas.
Paper plus got good stationary
Altogether a store with latest fashion n Style +++
for all ages.
J.
Always & Always will be Invercargills biggest Retail store!🙂
J.
Went to the Cooper kettle for lunch. We used to go here many many years ago.. great memories. Great food
R.
Very busy this time of year. A young student part time at paper plus served me a suggested economically viable options to post an item. Friendly and cheerful well done.
K.
Past its glory days but still a cut above the competition
J.
Its a really nice and rather classy place to go shopping but it is super expensive.
K.
Anna from the curtain department was extremely pleasant and helpful. She suggested and got a wrheelchair when she saw Dad struggling along with his walking frame. Shethen went and got it, and arranged care for the walking frame. In fact she was willing to bring it to the car in the shop's car park, but we didn't need her to.
The women in the menswear department were extremely knowledgeable about the stock and helpful with choice and fit.
We had a very pleasant shopping experience. Thanks
D.
Immaculately clean and well presented. My only criticism would be that a lot of the products here are overpriced - but there are occasionally some specials that make prices more reasonable.
M.
We come here to eat in the up stairs cafe. They serve the usual cafe food. There are always families with children in this place. The furniture and home ware department has very nice merchandise. I bought a few pieces there. The person in charge was very helpful. When they have a sale is it really a sale. I come to this shop every time I am in Invercargill.
B.
For someone who has gone through breast cancer the ladies in H.Js are simply lovely no stores in Dunedin stocking those special bras.
E.
Another great shop.Staff are very helpful . lovely clothing and footwear, neat children department, Cooper Kettle has great food and a postoffice on ground floor where I do all my posting.Also car parking.
P.
Friendly, helpful staff who are willing to help when needed.
S.
Only saw a small section of this department store due time constraints. Nicely laid out, easy to see products
N.
Great store to buy gear for all ages. Bought outdoor gear for the grandchildren and presents for my daughters and a great pair of shoes for my husband and a dress and lovely earrings for me. All under one roof!!!
J.
Biggest shop ever. Lovely there and could have stayed all day.
T.
The guy in the uniform area was so helpful and really lovely. It's a really nice change from having staff, standing around staring at you, but not acknowledging you. Visit H&Js at Xmas 🎄🎅☺️ it's so easy to get lost in the atmosphere.
D.
Great to be back - good sale at the moment.
R.
Interesting place. Really run down old building. Looks like a place from when I was a kid. Creaky floors and all that. They have some great stuff but totally way out of my price range. Best feature I would be the bathrooms and baby changing area.
M.
Great store with a wide selection of quality products and friendly service
C.
Love this place. Great service in all depts. Great Cafe and restroom.
D.
Good customer "care" - as always, polite and helpful. The associated "Paper Plus" is a plus Indeed with knowledgeable assistance who are interested and keen to help. A very comfortable shopping venue!
K.
Absolutely love this store, great helpful staff, quality

Always enjoy visiting, love Paper Plus great selection on good books.

Love this place, staff are great, reminds me of shopping with mum when I was a little girl. Old fashion service that we all miss a but modern at the same time.
B.
Copper Kettles prices have gone up a bit for what it is! I think they are carrying too many staff. Good xmas shopping and xmas uniforms in the store though!
D.
Privately owned department store with something for everyone. Visiting H&J's makes a nice chance when compared to visiting "World wide" chain stores which are all the same and quickly becoming the norm
B.
Wonderful to visit a place which holds happy childhood memories and see it still has its charm
B.
Awesome, lovely friendly staff, so happy with services and food for value is great. Did the pork roast of the day, and granddaughter did kiddies fries with fish fingers. ...all gone
J.

The quality and variety is excellent and the staff are exceptional, I call in every time I come down south.
B.
Being from the North Island I have not been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to shop at this great department store
S.
Huge store with lots of variety for everyone. Including the bike and hunting stores.
J.
Heaps of parking in the car park across the road with a covered walkway access and free parking if you buy something.
Close to other shops.

A traditional departmental store in Invercargill, Dunedin Queenstown and other Southland and Otago towns.
The staff is loyal and well trained
Well stocked covering most needs, including sporting and firearms.
As with department stores it has a restaurant.

Update: Thank you for taking the feedback. I do realise the changes while I had a little browsing while waiting for my appointment in the benefits. I appreciate it. Well done, H&J.
previous experience (3 stars) : amazing customer service in revlon and perfume department and benefit . a bit disappointed with the shiseido customer service. I use shiseido even before I move to New Zealand. I bought in h&j because its offline store so I don’t have to wait for shipping. just because I wore slippers the lady keep telling me “its expensive and more than $100” and the maybelline customer service keep following around. I think h&j must come to David jones in wellington and see how their customer service. not to judge people. David jones products even much more expensive than h&j’s products.
