David's Emporium - Manukau

What an awesome store. You can find a wide selection of items at a very affordable price. Tools, arts and crafts, sewing stuff, materials, costumes, homeware, kids toys, etc, etc. Enough space for pushing baby in pram. Very well organised too!!. I especially love the selection of ribbons and buttons available here, very unique and beautiful!!

Not the best experience yesterday. I contacted the store beforehand asking if we could cut fabric that we bought from them 2 days prior for funeral arrangements. We thought we'd have time to cut it ourselves but things got busy for the family. I also let the staff member know how much fabric we had. Any additional costs we were willing to pay due to limited time we had to get it done. She said it was fine and we could come in and get it done. It was a relief to hear so we made our way there. Another staff member at the fabric table was rude from the onset and pretty much looked at us like we just wasted our time and there's no way they could do it in the time we needed it. Totally understandable, however, new information to me as we were never told that over the phone, obviously we wouldn't be there and wasted their time had we known sooner. The lady then got her manager who was very nice and professional. Also gave us advice on what to do. My only thing is to make sure staff are across all your processes to avoid misinformation and time wasted for both parties.

Love this place. Perfect for all my craft needs. Nice staff that I've come across.

Its fantastic. I almost want to keep it a secret. Good prices, plenty of variety.

Lots of different textured and style fabrics, costumes for kids, teens and adults, hardware and some stationery.

Something for everyone. They had friendly staff and just what I needed for a great price

Good place to buy craft supplies but the staff punched wrong product which higher in price. When I communicated the mistake, there is not much help from the manager, no apologies; instead instructed me to bring back all, docket, tags and skirts where I put the zips on. Seriously? I told them the school skirts belong to a customer and I could not drive right there and then and the skirts are going to be collected. Before I could speak more she told me she there is nothing she can do over messenger or phone. I get the manager's point but her tone says it all.

Always seem to have the item I want at a good price

Great for a your bits and pieces and more. Great price and service

This would have to be the worst customer experience ever. I went in there with material asking for assistance on getting more of the same. I was referred from one staff to the other. The lady looking after material department basically told me she has lots of work to do and if I can find it then good. If not, come back later and she might be able to help. Not once did she even look at the material I had with me. Also noting that the store only had 1 other customer shopping there at that time. On my exit, both the staff were having a good chat at the till.
