Avoid HOD Health at all costs. They are happy to take your money but do not send the items you paid for, and then take weeks to issue a refund. This behaviour shows a complete lack of professionalism... See more

Needed some tools for my house renos…

Needed some tools for my house renos and purchased from these guys. Very impressed with service - one package was damaged by the courier. Customer service was very helpful and organised to pick up the damaged one and send me a new one straight away! The other one arrived with no issues and I received regular tracking updates. Will be going back to them again.

This behaviour shows a complete lack of professionalism and respect for customers. I will not be purchasing from them again and strongly recommend that others stay away and choose a more reliable company instead.

Hi Kerrie, we are really sorry about this. It took a little longer to cancel because we were attempting to find a courier that would take a 500kg item out to you for somewhat of a reasonable price. The error occurred because logistically you fall into a very large region and parts of that region closer to Brisbane are only a few hundred dollars to ship to, while other parts can be thousands for a package that heavy. Sadly we were not able to find a courier that would not be a thousand dollar loss on the sale. Sadly there is no real fix to this due to how freight companies and markets do not allow us to price per postcode only by region, which always results in someone losing out. Again, we are really sorry.

DO NOT SHOP WITH THEM

You are wasting your money and effort dealing with these fake guys! Extremely poor customer service, rude and they refuse to confirm delivery timeframes unless you’re expected to pay extra.

Worst customer service and delivery!!

Worst customer service and delivery!!! When following up about order delivery delays they kept changing the delivery timframe (from 5-10 days to 5-15 days then 3-20 days) instead of acknowledging that the order has been delayed and apologising. Customer service also made inappropriate comments about order details. DO NOT SHOP HERE.

DO NOT BUY FROM HOD

Health and Home NZ (HOD) has been an extremely disappointing experience. The product photos are misleading and what arrives is not what is advertised. However the main issue was shipping it took way over two weeks with very little communication.
When I contacted customer service about the delay, I received a very abrupt response that made it clear they were not interested in helping.
Unfortunately, I also realised I had purchased another HOD product through Mighty Ape without knowing it was the same company — and that order is delayed as well, while other orders placed afterwards that I selected standard shipping for had already arrived.
Overall, this has been a waste of time and money, and I would not recommend buying from HOD.

As for HOD’s response it only further highlights the poor level of customer service. Firstly, I did not purchase a dress — the order was incorrect to begin with.
Secondly, your response was highly unprofessional. The issue raised was about delivery delays, yet instead of addressing that properly, you chose to publicly discuss a customer’s order details and the amount they spent. Why is the price relevant?
Are you implying that because a customer selected a cheaper shipping option or did not spend over a certain amount they deserve poor service or excessive delays? Because that is exactly how your response comes across.
Bringing up a customer’s spending in an attempt to justify inadequate service is inappropriate and reflects very poorly on your business. Every customer deserves respect and reasonable service regardless of how much they spend.
For reference, I spent more than the customer you mentioned and still received the exact same treatment, which only proves my original point.
Thank you, and good day.

DON’T SHOP WITH HODS

DON’T SHOP WITH HODS! Health and Home Worst service, delivery time is horrendous the staff are petty and rude if you select the standard delivery time you are not a priority and the standard delivery time is longer than any other website I’ve shopped from so according to HODs because you haven’t paid more, the delayed delivery time is your fault don’t bother buying from them.

Looks like its an ecommerce store

Looks like its an ecommerce store, dont think they have stock in hand to ship it. I have ordered an item, it has been 2 weeks and I still haven’t received anything and no communication either. The tracking number doesn’t work too.

Hi Divashni, we’re happy to confirm that your order was delivered within the estimated timeframe. As an Australian-based store, shipping to NZ involves a freight forwarding process before NZ Post takes over, which can cause a slight delay in tracking updates. We sent several email updates to you throughout this process—please check your spam folder for these. We're glad you have your item and hope you enjoy it!

Second experience with this store as I…

Second experience with this store as I wanted to purchase a matching chair for my existing outdoor furniture. Impressed with customer service when I asked for help to find a match, and it arrived faster than expected.

Very impressed with the service

Very impressed with the service. My package was lost in transit and they offered me a refund or replacement. My replacement arrived with no issues. Would buy from them again as they were helpful with great communication. Cheers guys

Buyer beware

Ensure you look up the return policy. Horrendous customer service who will ask you to open items for the purpose “to check they are in working order” but in actual fact it is to void any possibility of return if change of mind according to their very ridiculous returns policy (need to pay 20% of item price if you wish to return an item) and untruthful delivery times. Conniving and would not recommend as awful customer experience.

Hi Susie,

If we ask you to perform a task, the responsibility for that action lies with us, not you. Furthermore, it is a violation of your consumer rights to penalize you for following those instructions.

We always aim to do the right thing and fix any situation, I am unable to find you in our database as a customer.

If you have proof though please contact me straight away at

The item was not delivered to me

The item was not delivered to me, after multiple updated delivery times from the delivery company. Never received my item. No communication from the company. I am trying to get a refund.

* To Reply To my Review*

Firstly, I work from! I am home ALL day. Your item was supposed to be delivered to me in November, early December........NOT on Christmas day hahaha!! And, I requested a refund - not a change of address. I requested the refund, because I could not wait for your package (also didn't know if it would even arrive!!). So I had to buy another fan. Do you understand? You put me out. And still did not heed my request. Yes, I did finally receive your item. I now have 2 fans. Yay. Thanks for that.

*Reply to a Reply*

So you guys just dictate delivery times then? If I got the item in a year's time - at least I got it yeah?

Hi Julie,

We believe in transparency, so we’d like to share the facts of our multiple attempts to complete this delivery:

Fast Dispatch: Your order was processed and sent out immediately to ensure a holiday arrival.

Multiple Delivery Attempts: The carrier attempted delivery on Christmas Day and again on December 31st. (proof in the carriers tracking found below)

Package Security: Since no one was home and there was no secure location at your property, the carrier acted to prevent your items from being stolen or damaged. It was not a cheap item after all.

Support Integrity: Our team has remained professional throughout our correspondence. While we understand the frustration of missing a delivery, we do not allow our staff to be subjected to the language used in your emails.


We did our absolute best to get this to you during the busiest time of the year. The full tracking history is available here for anyone who wishes to see the timeline:

https://www.yuntrack.com/parcelTracking?id=YT2535200706796089.

P.s Simply put the proof is irrefutable regardless of your accusation, we support our customers and I would like to point out we emailed you several times during this process explaining what was happening. As you yourself said, it did arrive as we promised it would.
