Opening at Level 2
We are excited to be open during level 2 and are taking all the precautions we can to ensure safe shopping.
There is hand sanitiser at the door along with contact tracing. The government is not requiring contact tracing for retail but we have chosen to do it as we feel it makes sense to do so and are happy to go above and beyond.
Extra cleaning is happening to ensure that all touch points are being cleaned before another customer comes in contact with them.
For those who don't live nearby or prefer not to go out, we still have our online store operating 24/7 with free shipping.
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, we're always happy to help :-)

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
