easy transaction and quick delivery to Victoria. Great service Thank you.
SLOW, unreliable. Took 6 weeks to get to Queensland. Absolute joke. Do not recommend.
Avoid at all costs. A week after ordering emailed to confirm which products I wanted (isn’t that obvious from the order?). Followed by slow shipping. Then they sent a the incorrect product, which I can only assume was deliberate given they had confirmed and the item I received was cheaper. Then it’s been a nightmare to resolve. Never again.
Shipping policy says flat rate $14.95 but is charging me $24 at checkout for a few bottles of mouthwash which definitely do not exceed the 5kg limit. False advertising.
Took 3 weeks to be delivered and only after I emailed after 1 week with no information from them. They didn’t have what I ordered in stock, and had to refund me half of my order, but still took another 2 weeks to be delivered?????
As I am unfortunately on two non PBS meds that are expensive in Victoria I found one was cheapest online and they deliver for free if order over $80. (To save money I was not paying for expedited shipping). I placed order and copied and pasted my escript tokens but site is basic and only has space for one. I was then contacted asking to send… Read more
screenshots of escript QR codes. From date of ordering 14/1 to package being sent was 19/1. Which is not ideal... and Aust post app tells me I won't receive until 27/1-28/1! UPDATE package arrived perfectly with my pharmacy receipt on Fri 23/1. So Aust Post just gives inaccurate estimates :) If you are trying to save money make sure you order your meds a fair way ahead. Thanks team, you saved me money!
I placed an order and needed to follow up and i was able to speak to a very courteous girl who took care of the matter and said new stock had just arrived and my order is now on its way. Great price and very courteous customer support so im happy to buy from Michael’s.
Purchased a probiotic and opted for Click & Collect, which, according to their website, pickup within 24 hours (Monday to Friday). That didn’t happen. I called the store, no stock. When I asked for an ETA, the staff member couldn’t provide one and simply repeated that I’d receive an email when it's ready for collection. I'm very familiar with that… Read more
process, this isn't my first time using Click & Collect. I didn’t even receive a confirmation email for the purchase. So if you're looking for something urgently, I’d recommend shopping elsewhere. You’d expect that an item listed as available for store collection would actually be in stock there. But apparently, that's not guaranteed.
Great prices and fast shipping! – I am so impressed with Michael’s Chemist online! I found their price on the probiotics that I wanted, to be the most competitive, and although I was skeptical about ordering online…. knowing that Michael’s chemist is located in Perth, this set my mind at ease a little. I had read reviews and some mentioned that their orders were delayed and not… Read more
shipped in a timely manner, however I could see that Michael’s chemist replied to each and every one of these reviews, apologising and trying to make up for the inconvenience, which goes a long way for me.
I placed my order and emailed them from one of the links that they posted on the reviews page, to ask that my parcel is shipped in a timely manner, as my family were going to Bali in a couple of weeks of ordering and required the probiotics for our trip. I placed my order on the Saturday 8h June and received an email on the Monday saying that they had received it and it was being packed, and by Tuesday 12th, it was delivered Highly recommend!!!
Thanks so much Michael’s Chemist! I will definitely be returning with my custom!
Wasteful and environmentally irresponsible packaging – The product was as advertised and arrived on time but the packaging was ridiculous and completely environmentally unfriendly. One little bottle of probiotics arrived in a big box (like 350 x 350 x 350mm) jammed packed with polystyrene balls, when one small piece of bubble wrap would have done the same job. I won’t buy from them again just for this reason.
Go somewhere else – Old lady at the counter pretends that she is a pharmacist and dispenses Pharmacy only products without checking! Very rude and imposing unlike the younger pharmacy assistants.
Dear Ana, Thank you for bringing this to our… Read more
A Very Happy Customer! – First time buying from Michaels Chemist and I couldn’t be more happy. I live regional WA and ordered on Christmas Eve (PM). My order was shipped to me on the next business day over the holidays and reached me within 24hrs. I would have expected it to take at least another week. The prices are the cheapest I could find and I also got a holiday… Read more
discount along with free shipping. Will definitely be my first choice in the future and happy to recommend.
Excellent service – I have checked prices for BioCeuticals brand products locally here in Sydney and against Michael's advertised on-line prices. Michael's is way cheaper. I have placed two orders for 6 units of product. Instant posting, 2nd time, free posting, and both deliveries arrived within a matter of days. Definitely will be using this service in the future.

Easy Helpful Service CHEAP Prices Too! – I'm delighted with Michael's Chemist! Their service is top-notch, and I recently placed an order that arrived quickly and well-packaged. Their website is user-friendly, they have a wide selection of health products and their prices are competitive. What sets them apart is their exceptional customer service. I had questions about my order, and they… Read more
addressed them promptly and courteously. I highly recommend this online pharmacy for a convenient and customer-focused shopping experience.
They've earned my loyalty!
Advertising "discontinued" product – Ordered some common cold and flu medication online for delivery, order was cancelled and they claimed the product had been discontinued. Not only is this untrue but the product continues to be advertised on their web site for anyone to order.
Very Poor services in Wembley – Price differences between shop and their own website Received a voucher so I went to their website and check their price . When I went to the shop in Micheal’s Chemist Wembley , most of their products costs are way more then what they advertised on their website. The staffs were not aware so they ask the manageress. She was not friendly at all… Read more
when I ask why was it such a big different .
She would not do whatever their website price and tell me to go else where. “You can’t compare, you hv the choice to go else where” she said . She is right and yes I hv the choice But I am wondering can a product price be so much different from their own website?
Micheal’s Chemist website Neutrogena Deep clean Cleansing 200ml $14.58 In their shop $19.95 Neutogena oil free eye makeup remover on their website is $8.25 In their shop $12.95 500ml cancer council unites sunscreen on their website is $25.25 In their shop $34.95 ( wow! $10 different ) They drop in vouchers to many . On the other in shop , The price can be $5 or $10 more then their own website Picture :The Neutrogena oil free is one of the products they advertise on their website .
There are better chemists – After moving home,I thought that Michael’s might be my new chemist but not going to happen. North Perth was OK but 3 visits to Wembley and experienced very poor service, staff lacked product knowledge, staff had no interest in their job and there was no loyalty program on offer. Did not match Blooms or Greenleaf.
Overcharged Prices on Prescription Drugs – Went in this morning 2 asked about the overcharged of my Prescription Fees. But [Name Removed] was very sneaky that he showed me on his Monitor that I didn't gave $50/ to his staff but a $20/. So he Avoided what I went in 4 in Regard 2 the above topic. Also, he did Mentioned that he saw my Review so he was very well prepared 2 Changed the subject 2 his Advantage & he kept mentioning that your old.
Terrible online shop – I ordered from them over a fortnight ago. Instantly received an order confirmation that stated that the items (worth over $100) would be shipped within a couple of days and never heard from them again, neither received the goods. After almost a fortnight, I asked what’s going on. No reaction. Today, more than 2 weeks after ordering I told them I’m… Read more
fed up and wish to cancel and get a refund. Almost immediately after, a reply, stating the order would be dispatched today. My reply: nope, I’m over it, I want a refund. Next thing was that I received an email saying the items were shipped. Terrible company. Never again.
Fast and easy transaction! – Purchased a few things from Michael's Chemist online store, pleased to have them all come under the cheap flat rate shipping. Although 1 item had to been put on a back order the response from the service team was swift and friendly resolving the issue quickly.
Never received product – Ordered a product, they never sent it and didn’t respond to my emails! Couldn’t find a contact number for them either. I don’t recommend them as you may not receive your goods!!
Dear Amal, We sincerely apologize for the… Read more
No problem with this company! – I'm already using PayPal to get a refund from another chemist (dodgy online crowd that doesn't deliver the product and is uncontactable, so I've discovered), so I checked Michael's Chemist on productreview.com.au before ordering (this is the only other company I can find stocking the item I need). Given the couple of pretty ordinary reviews, I… Read more
actually rang the company and was assured they had the product in stock, so I went ahead and ordered, in some trepidation. However, no need for concern because within a couple of days I'd received an email notice from Aust Post to say they'd received shipping information, and the package arrived yesterday. Absolutely no complaints from me, so thank you!
Online ordering system not good! – I tried to order some items online through Michael’s Chemist as they seemed to have a good range and good prices. It has now been a month and I still haven’t received my order, or any tracking details. I’ve not had any luck getting on to them to find out what is going on. Luckily I paid with PayPal so they are looking into getting a refund for me.… Read more
I’m not sure they use their online ordering system? Might be better to visit the actual shop in person.
