What reviewers often mention

🎯

Service quality

Customers often mention helpful pharmacists and attentive counter staff. Some reviews name specific team members and describe hands-on clinical support, including help for vulnerable customers. Many also note quick service when visiting in person.

💰

Value for money

Buyers who received their orders often call the prices competitive and good value. One reviewer linked the low price to slower customer-service replies after a delivery problem. Overall, price feedback is positive, with occasional caveats tied to order issues.

User experience

Most reviews describe an easy online ordering process and fast delivery. One clear example mentions a wrong product image that led to the wrong item being sent. Smooth checkout and quick arrivals come up frequently.

🔧

Product quality

Several customers say items arrived well packaged and in good condition. At least one review reports an old-stock deodorant that was faulty and did not work properly. Quality complaints appear, but they are fewer than the positive product comments.

📞

Communication

Multiple reviews describe poor follow-up after purchase: unanswered emails, ignored refund requests, and parcels later marked as lost. One reviewer said no confirmation email arrived even though the delivery did. Communication problems form a major negative theme.

Overall experience

Feedback splits between strong ratings for staff and speed, and weak ratings for delivery handling and customer support. Many five-star reviews highlight service quality and fast fulfilment. Several one-star reviews describe unresolved delivery problems, missing refunds, and product mistakes.

Jennifer Luwis 5/5

My business is a small one that is failing, and I needed a breast pump as soon as possible. My husband is also working long hours, and my baby needs to be fed.

Because I had to work full-time, I didn't have time to look for what I needed.

I was immediately impressed with how easy it was to explore the website, how many alternatives there were, and how reasonable the costs were as well.

I'm overjoyed with my MAM Manual Breast Pump, which I purchased recently.

It's so simple to use that I've been using it on a daily basis ever since I received it.

It is also simple to clean and comes with a storage compartment.

This product would be highly recommended to a friend of mine.
