I remember Smith & Caughey from years ago. I was 5 years old when I first visited with my great aunt, and it was one of my favourite places to be. I think she had a friend or sister who worked there. I loved the beautiful chiffon scarves, the hosiery, the perfumes and pretty umbrellas and all the girly stuff. This was a store that could make any little girl feel like a princess.
I grew older and Smith and Caughey became a place to visit and continue to dream. As the first woman in NZ to work as a petrol pump attendant I was not very well received when I visited on pay days. The shop assistants chose to turn their backs on me or simply refused to serve me when I had enough money to buy them. Too bad about that, but the pleasant memories still put a smile on my face.

Loved the Xmas Santa Elf thingy, but wont be taking the kids this year as the waiting was agonizing with small kids.

The items are genuine and sale days are great! Just had an incident where I got billed with the original price instead of the sale price (just a difference of $30). Just noticed it when I got back home. I think the cashier should ensure price being billed is correct, that's the purpose of sale, right? To get the discount! Anyway, what I really love about the store is they never run out of perfume testers so the customer is free to try anytime, unlike Farmers where some of the pricey perfume tester bottles are kept in the cabinet and you have to ask someone in the counter to see it, not good for a customer who does not like to be forced into buying something because she's feels obligated due to the extra assistance from the counter lady. I'll definitely shop with S&C again, I love perfumes!

Hi Janilane - thanks for your positive feedback of our Fragrance Dept and support of our store. We're sorry to hear of the overcharge during the Sale - we can certainly sort this out for you. Do you still have your receipt? Be in touch and we'll get your refund organised. Thanks.
