I still remember the 1st time I went to this shop to ask for help with my camera before going o'seas. Young Harry spent more than 1 hour trying to help me resolve the problem with it & after fixing it, he did not charge me. I never forgot his kindness & since then (some 4 years ago) I have had all my photo printing & special orders for gifts to my friends done by him & his team. I can't remember once I was not welcomed with a nice friendly smile by the young son of the family owned business & when I met his mum, I immediately could see where he got his impeccable manners & willingness to help his clients. The stock is extensive & it ranges from frames & photo albums, to the best & latest of cameras & equipment. Prices are competitive & printing very reasonable THE BEST THING HOWEVER FOR ME is the friendly & professional service I get...a rare thing now a days & for such low prices!

Going there feels like going to an Italian Festa rather than a Hair Salon with great music, a very happy atmosphere &...having your hair done beautifully!
I loved all of it ...it felt like opening a Pandora Box just looking at all the incredible memorabilias covering the walls & the tables, great laughs & interesting conversations with the owners & the other clients, great coffee!

THIS YEAR RESOLUTION for:
TVSN - WORK ON YOUR FOLLOW UP SERVICE as there is
none at present!
Aust Post - Review chores for your postmen & set up proper &
much needed rules
Potts Point PO - The other Post Offices should follow your
example!
5 stars to you all & a Very Happy 2013!
Here is what prompted my comments:
______________________________
I have never really liked buying over the phone & prefer instead to buy directly in shops, but after having seen one at a friend's place, I ordered an Oreck Air Purifier from TVSN.
Despite assuring me that it would have been delivered home, I pointed out to the operator that the parcel should be sent to the Potts Point PO, much closer than the Darlinghurst PO.
He again assured me that they "have a special agreement with Australia Post for which items are delivered to your door & there was no need to add the note..."
BUT
By 7 Dec I had received a card advising me that the parcel was at the Darlinghurst PO!
I spent endless hours talking to various people at Australia Post & TVSN customer service and...
Aust Post at first tried to justify my "being carded" with: "Well, we only card a client after the postman has attempted to do the delivery & no one is home"
I explained that on the day in question I was in fact home sick in bed & that no one had actually rang the bell...
Then I was told that - "some post offices do door to door delivery, but it is up to the person doing the deliveries & most do not want to & prefer to leave a card...
If you want the parcel transferred to Potts Point you will have to pay the fee..."
After numerous calls & much frustrating waiting time on the line, trying to locate the parcel, trying to make sense of the procedure used by Aust Post, eventually I was promised & assured they would transfer it ... "please ensure you call them to check..."
But since contacting either post offices had been an impossible task, I was forced to call the Australia wide number each & every time, having to relate my situation, waiting on the line for them to locate the parcel & figure out what had happened...some operators were nice enough, some ...!!!!
By 21 Dec I was told that - "Inexplicably, the free gifts which came with the Oreck Purifier have been transferred to the Potts Point post office, BUT NOT THE ACTUAL PURIFIER!"
and
"We suggest you contact the PO after Xmas to check if it is there..."
YESTERDAY, after cueing up at Potts Point & still with a long cue after me, the guys at Potts Point could not find the parcel. I suggested they would call me when less busy so to avoid the others waiting...
When I called TVSN customer service, I was shown very little concern with "well, you should take it up with Aust Post for once it leaves our warehouse, we have no idea what happens!"

CONCLUSION
My last call to TVSN was today, when the operator told me I could not speak to a supervisor & after asking me to explain the reason for my call, interrupted me to "Yes, yes, I don't want to listen to all the drama,...."
After pointing out that "the drama" had been caused by them & that I had no wish to start the New Year getting frustrated with uncaring operators, I asked her to cancel my order & return my money asap.

MY THANKS TO JOE & ANNE AT THE POTTS POINT POST OFFICE - who called me only 1 hour later to inform me that the Oreck purifier seemed to have been sent back but a smaller parcel had been transferred to them from the Darlinghurst PO.

Approximate cost: $499 + $199

I was walking along McLeay St, looking for gift ideas when I saw this fantastic shop called "Campo Marzio" at 87a Macleay St Potts Point (the old Elizabeth Rosa card shop).

The inviting stylish & vibrant interiors are designed to embrace & reflect a whole new concept from Italy with everything for your office or study & more, the colours and quality are simply stunning.

I must say I was very impressed with the owner - Elizabeth - who showed patience in dealing with my indecision as to "which colour to chose for which friend" & gift wrapped each item in the most beautiful packaging...all from Italy.

Undoubtedly my choice for the coolest shop in town, I did most of my Xmas shopping there & walked out with a fantastic array of gifts I know my friends will truly appreciate.

A must for the discerning buyer, you have to see it!
....Happy shopping!

Oh by the way Elizabeth told me that for those not in the Eastern Subs, there is another shop in the Queen Victoria Building.

If like me, you expect True Respect & highly Professional Care for your body in the strictest of Health Regulations
- then you should consider having all your Beauty Treatments by Body Bound.
I have had nothing but sheer satisfaction in all counts since Prescilla (the owner of the business) started coming to my home to give me treatments a few years back.
My thanks to her & my highest recommendations to all serious about their treatments.
