Professional & Amazing Customer Services

As I mentioned earlier, that was my first time visiting your clinic in Manukau. I was truly honest when I left that day; I told myself this service that provided by the staff was so amazing. Well-trained and professional staff, from the reception to my final check-up by nurses and doctors, were so kind and treated people with care and respect.

Absolutely recommend these guys!

If you want to go to a Specsavers. Go to the Massey branch. Best experience and customer service I had!
Their staff really understood my need and went the extra mile as opposed to other stores I previously went. Very friendly and professional.
Absolutely recommend these guys!

Repeat Order

As it had been awhile since I'd ordered online I was unable to use the re-order function.
This took additional time to place my order as I had to find my lens boxes to confirm the lens sizes I required.

Specsavers Palmerston North

Specsavers Palmerston North. I am writing this to inform customers of a hidden policy Specsavers have - the 10 minute cutoff : I have been a customer with Specsavers for over 20 years. I had booked and confirmed my appointment. I live 45 minutes away by car. On the way to my appointment I encountered a delay with stop/go traffic management at a site where electrical work was being done on the side of the road, and on arriving at the shopping centre I had a challenge getting parking. I was 12 minutes late for my appointment. I was told my appointment had been cancelled because they have a 10 minutes late cut off. I needed to book another appointment. I then spoke to the manager, she was not interested in my situation and repeated the message about the 10 minutes cutoff and offered to book another appointment. I asked her where on their website or correspondence a customer is told about the 10 minutes cutoff - her answer was “it’s not stated on our correspondence or website, it has been our policy all along, you need to book another appointment”.

Hi Cheryll, thanks for taking the time to get in touch. We're sorry to hear you were running late for your appointment and weren't able to be seen in store. It can get quite busy in store and there may not have been enough time before the next scheduled appointment to fully complete your examination. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and if you would like to discuss this further, please visit the link below and a member of staff will be in contact soon. Many thanks, the Specsavers team.

Bought one of the most expensive frames ands despite gentle use broke in well under a year- wrap flimsy product so inferior to the equivalents offered by OPSM. No warrant offered despite not being over $500 and not fit for purpose in less than a year. DO NOT RECOMMEND- very poor frames at high price and worse service
