    You get 20% off using the Entertainment Book

    • AbhiC on 07/01/2017 - 00:07

      It is useful for those who have already used the Entertainment book one and also for those who doesn't have Entertainment book.

    • Geryatric on 07/01/2017 - 09:40

      Entertainment book also costs $65

    I bought one of these in the past. It can be used on online only and you have to spend the whole amount in one go. Most likely have to pay for shipping too. They don't accept returns for change of mind (even for unopened, non hygienic items).

    Ended up being more hassle than the $5 saving.

    • AbhiC on 07/01/2017 - 00:19

        Unlikely you can combine it with the groupon, since the checkout only allows 1 coupon.

        • AbhiC on 07/01/2017 - 00:58

    To save $5 you need to buy at least $100 to avoid the shipping fee and wait for over 10 day for voucher sending and delivery. It is really rubbish option.

    • suhail on 07/01/2017 - 02:05

      You are correct. I purchased 2 vouchers last time and regret my decision. Reluctantly we end up paying more money

      you're absolutely right this is a rubbish voucher, may as well not even have it. Unless , like some peeps these customers are buying to re sell it in a certain country for profit we all know where, really it is extremely stupid to even take up this so called miserable stingy offer. Looking at the customers at certain suburb where Chemist warehouse are located, you never know who are the real customers and who are the ones buying to re sell in a certain country you all know where. That's also the reason why supermarkets are forced to limit these people to only able to buy no more than X number of certain items as they all know these are just business people not customers but pretending to be customers usually buying in bulk and spending money like water without any emotions because the money is not theirs.

      • jv on 07/01/2017 - 12:49

    you can't return vitamin eventhough still sealed. woolies and coles have no problem with unopened vitamin.
    make sure you know and need what to buy

    • MrFrugalSpend on 07/01/2017 - 09:37

      Good, I'll buy my vitamins here then. As pharmacists, Chemist Warehouse have got this policy right because they need to be able to ensure the quality of the products, such as correct storage to avoid adverse changes to the medicines/vitamin supplement's chemical composition.

      I'd hate to think someone has previously bought medicinal products, not stored them correctly (e.g. too long in the car, in the sun or heat near a window, or moisture of a bathroom) then been able to return them for re-stocking on the shelves before I buy them thinking they are new and assuming they have been correctly stored.

      It would be like being able to return meat or cheese to the deli because you changed your mind. The supermarket shouldn't re-sell it because it may not have been refrigerated to the correct temperature.

      Its not like buying trousers that I haven't tried on yet, it's going to be a pre-determined decision before I buy a vitamin product whether I need them or not anyway.

        as a previous employee of MY CHEMIST WAREHOUSE in one of the main distribution warehouses I can assure you that your vitamins are NOT correctly stored as you would like to think . I assume you think these products are stored at correct temperature and in some sort of sterile or clean environment , sadly this is not the case . your products have been shipped via ocean , air and road , packaged in hot containers , stored in dirty warehouses , handled by unhygienic packaging employees and traveling and being stored in huge temperature varience places . so next time you look at your supplements/medications think about what it went through before it got to you

        • MrFrugalSpend on 07/01/2017 - 11:53

          Sad to hear there are potentially cowboys in the industry - hopefully regulators or customers catch up with them. There are many regulations and guidelines on this issue. There are also good operators that know what they are doing. E.g. HPS won't allow returns specifically for this reason because they need to ensure temp compliance. The huge Australian Pharmaceutical Industries (API) warehouse west of Brisbane is insulated and cooled/air conditioned to ensure it doesn't get too hot.

          IATA has air transport guidelines for pharmaceuticals. TGA regulates the industry in Australia with the Australian code of good wholesaling practice. Pharmacies would be used to complying with this and may apply it to all products including vitamins (as some are vulnerable) as well as pharmacy medicines. Section 1 is Buildings, Section 2 is Storage Facilities, Section 3 is Personnel, Section 4 is Stock handling and control, Section 4 is Transport and Section 6 is Management of return of unused or damaged goods - that covers all parts you mentioned.

          For example:

          • 1.4 "Buildings and storage facilities, including bays, docks and platforms used for the receipt or despatch of goods, should protect the medicines from contamination and deterioration, including protection from excessive local heating, cooling or dampness, or undue exposure to direct sunlight."
          • 2 - "Policies and procedures should be in place to provide storage conditions that ensure the maintenance of quality and safety of stored medicines."
          • 2.1 "Storage facilities for medicines should protect the medicines from deterioration."
          • 2.2 "Temperatures in facilities should be monitored using suitable temperature recording devices and the results recorded and analysed so as to demonstrate the suitability of these areas for their purposes."
          • 3 - "Policies and procedures should be in place to provide staff with the necessary skills and knowledge to ensure the maintenance of the quality, safety and security of the medicines stored and handled…"
          • 4 - "Handling and storage of medicines should be in accordance with established procedures designed to prevent contamination or deterioration of the goods, damage to packs or confusion of products."
          • 4.12 - "Importers should take all reasonable measures to ensure that goods are not mishandled or exposed to adverse storage conditions at wharves or airports."
          • 5 - "Transportation conditions should maintain the quality of the medicines being transported."
        • jv on 07/01/2017 - 12:54

          @MrFrugalSmith:

          The huge Australian Pharmaceutical Industries (API) warehouse west of Brisbane is insulated and cooled/air conditioned

          And what happens to the products before getting to the warehouse?

        • MrFrugalSpend on 07/01/2017 - 22:53

          @jv: As it says above, IATA has air transport guidelines, and importers are to take all reasonable measures to ensure that goods are not mishandled or exposed to adverse storage conditions at wharves or airports, and procedures are to be in place so that Transportation conditions maintain the quality of the medicines being transported.

          Companies like Toll Group, DB Schenker Logistics, Southern States Group, Dean Tigers Cargo, Andrews Transport, BT Logistics and many more offer healthcare transport with temperature controlled freight. Many healthcare companies even pack data loggers in their packages that record if the package goes over a specified temperature.

          I don't know why it would be hard to believe, how do you think Milk or Ice Cream gets to the supermarket?… Cows being milked out the back of Woolies? The transport industry can manage refrigerated transport, so I'm sure they can keep health care products below 25 degrees celcius if contracted to do so.

        • jv on 07/01/2017 - 23:24

          @MrFrugalSmith:

          You can't cost cut by delivering milk and ice cream unrefrigerated. you can with vitamins.

        because they need to be able to ensure the quality of the products,

        Absolute rubbish.

        It's to increase their profits.

        • MrFrugalSpend on 07/01/2017 - 22:59

          Not at all. Most companies are more than happy to offer returns policies because it actually increases their profits because customers are more inclined to buy on a whim knowing they can return their purchases (but then rarely do). It builds confidence.

          Read their returns policy:

          https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/AboutUs/ReturnsPolicy

          As it says they are happy to refund anything as a Change of Mind Return with a receipt within 7 days which isn't damaged / unopened.
          The exceptions being for Medicines, Baby Formula, Fragrances, and Vitamin Supplements - all things which are damaged by heat / light / improper storage.

          @MrFrugalSmith:

          These are also the things that make the bulk of their profits

        • MrFrugalSpend on 07/01/2017 - 23:26

          @jv: Such a cynical view. Clothes shops make the bulk of their profits out of clothes, but you can return them?!

        • jv on 08/01/2017 - 07:16

          @MrFrugalSmith:

          ut you can return them?!

          Not all.

  • paloverde88 on 07/01/2017 - 09:46

    most people stick their vitamins and supplements in the oven as a normal practice then on a whim, decides to return or exchange because it is so damn convenient and fun, only a few intelligent ones do not.

    • MrFrugalSpend on 07/01/2017 - 11:36

      Honestly I can't think of why anyone would return vitamins, however the oven has nothing to do with it, leaving medicine in the car or in the sun near a window will happily ruin it in no time. In fact, experts say that storing medications over 30 degrees, a fairly typical summer temperature in many areas, can have a significant effect on their potency.

      Studies have shown that potency of some medicines decreases by 75% if it reaches 36.6 degrees - i.e. you'd need to take 4 times the dosage to have the same effectiveness (which causes other issues)!! A product left near a window in the sun can easily reach this temperature and a car parked in the sun can reach like 70 degrees if the customer leaves their products in it.

      Most pharmaceutical products should be stored below 25 degrees celcius. Most houses in Australia get above that daily half the year.

        • MrFrugalSpend on 07/01/2017 - 23:33

          @jv: Well they do, but its powdered so besides the point really

      • brongz on 07/01/2017 - 23:11

        what about woolies and coles storage? does it mean the vitamins they sold not up to chemist standard, since customer can return vitamins?

        • MrFrugalSpend on 07/01/2017 - 23:31

          Who knows. They aren't regulated as much as medicines, if chemists temperature control their supply chain and store room for pharmacy medicines, and also vitamins, than I guess its theoretically possible these are better treated, but on the other hand supermarkets temperature regulate cold produce (but that's probably separate).

          Coles and Woolies make billions, they do so by having generous policies that allow you to take things back on a whim because you aren't satisfied with it, even its something they have to throw out (if of low value e.g. <$15) - its all about boosting people's confidence to buy in the first place.

      No.

      • nahkk on 10/01/2017 - 23:58

        Thanks for replying. I am guessing you have to make a purchase of exactly $50 for each voucher then.

        • AbhiC on 11/01/2017 - 01:54

          You can make the purchase of more than $50 but rest of the amount needs to be paid by 💳 card.
