Asked for an application for support for our school. Was told to write a letter and take it in or email to the manager. Asked for managers card and was told they dont have these. The customer support then rattled off the email address to me. I replied "good luck to me for trying to remember it" I walked away at this point. Not sure what to make of how difficult it is to get sponsorship drom countdown.
Countdown Whakatane is the most expensive supermarket I go to. New World in Opotiki, Kawerau and Whakatane are all cheaper for most things. But NZ supermarkets rarely carry the entire product range from a given supplier, so sometimes I have to go to Countdown for specific items. As a positive, Countdown have - by far - the best range of low carb / keto / organic products. Definitely a big plus. You have to watch out for product information that doesn't comply with NZ law. Today, they had the US-sourced "Garden of Eatin'" range of corn chips for sale. Three of the four products in the range had no NZ-compliant nutritional info. Instead, they had the useless American information. it's impossible to work out how much carbs or fat or sugar is in the item. They also don't say who the NZ distributor is. I brought this to the attention of the supervisor at Customer Service. She wasnt much interested and told me to write the US-based manufacturer. She's actually supposed to record my complaint and pass it up the chain. That wasn't happening. This experience sums up my history with Countdown generally, anywhere in NZ. Take it or leave it Don't want to know. Reminds me Woolworths in Australia. That's why I most often either go to New World or order things online.
Love shopping here!
Good range of goods and mostly fair prices. Check out can be a bit slow at times
I TOTALLY PREFER COUNTDOWN OVER NEW WORLD WHICH IS THE SUPER MARKET IN OPOTIKI
