Chemist Warehouse Mailer This Week

Chemist Warehouse NZ latest catalogue: a monthly rhythm

Unlike a supermarket, Chemist Warehouse does not roll out a new sheet every Thursday. The two editions we hold, of 40 and 32 pages, are both valid from 1 to 28 October 2026, which is a four-week window. Because edition dates shift from one catalogue to the next, treat the dates printed on the front of each edition as the schedule to follow. The retailer's NZ website has a Catalogues link in its menu, which is the place to look for the newest edition when this one ends.

This is a discount pharmacy and beauty chain, and the feed lumps it in with groceries. We link it to the nearest hub below, the department store and fashion catalogues, because beauty, perfume and gift sets sit closest to it there.

What Kiwis search: sales, perfume and stores

Google suggestions for New Zealand show the retailer's two faces. One is the sale crowd, typing Chemist Warehouse NZ sale, perfume sale, lipstick sale, Black Friday sale, Boxing Day sale and gift sets. The other is the practical crowd asking how many Chemist Warehouse stores there are in New Zealand, where they are, whether the store can fill a prescription, and whether it ships to Australia.

Price promise: 10% off the difference

Chemist Warehouse's FAQ, as it appears in search results, says that if you find a cheaper price on the same item at another New Zealand registered pharmacy or retailer with a physical store, it will match the price and take 10% off the difference. It is capped at one of each product. In store you bring the other retailer's catalogue as proof. Online, you send a direct product link and your order number within 24 hours of ordering.

The exclusions matter: international orders, online-only offers, and competitor items that are out of stock, short-dated, clearance or discontinued, or part of a promotion like buy-one-get-one-free. Price matching cannot be processed through Click and Collect. Consumer NZ's guide to price guarantees lists Chemist Warehouse among the stores with one, and separate Consumer NZ coverage says pricing under the recommended retail price is the company's business model.

Returns: seven days, and not for medicines

The New Zealand returns policy allows change-of-mind returns within 7 days of purchase, with the receipt or online tax invoice, if the item is unopened, unused and still in saleable condition. Goods bought in New Zealand stores can only go back to New Zealand stores. Medicines, both prescribed and over the counter, are excluded from change-of-mind returns, and so are baby formula, fragrances, vitamin supplements, consumables and face masks, according to the search summary of that page.

The same page says it does not limit consumer law. For damaged items, contact customer service, who may ask for photos of the item or packaging. Phone orders are on 0800 001018, Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.

Delivery, click and collect and Afterpay

The NZ site header advertises free standard delivery on NZ Post orders above $99 (exclusions apply), free Click and Collect typically ready within four hours, and same-day and next-day delivery. The payments page lists AliPay, Mastercard, Visa, Zip, WeChat, online EFTPOS and Afterpay for online orders.

Prescriptions and pharmacy hours

Prescription queries are some of the most common, from free prescriptions to repeat scripts. How a return, refund or price-adjustment request is handled depends on the retailer's policy and on local consumer rules. Read the conditions at the till or on the receipt, and keep proof of purchase.

Opening hours differ by store, and the header links to Store Location & Hours. For public holidays, Employment New Zealand says most shops must close on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Christmas Day, and on Anzac Day until 1 pm, with possible council policies for Easter Sunday. The government's page does not discuss pharmacies, so phone first on those days.

Who is Chemist Warehouse?

Chemist Warehouse started in Australia, and Wikipedia gives the founders as Jack Gance and Mario Verrocchi, with headquarters in Preston, Victoria, and more than 540 stores across Australia and New Zealand in 2023. Its products range across pharmacy, health products, supplements, perfume, personal care, baby products and cosmetics. The feed points to chemistwarehouse.co.nz, which is the New Zealand site of that business.
