CTC Surfers Paradise

CTC Surfers Paradise in QLD is a tobacconist that’s gotten a bit of a mixed rap lately. Look, I’ll be straight with you – while they stock the usual tobacco products like cigarettes, rolling papers, and lighters, we’ve heard quite a few concerns from visitors about product quality issues.

The shop keeps pretty decent hours, running from 7am to 10pm Monday through Saturday, and 7am to 8pm on Sundays, so you can pop in whenever suits. They take all the usual payment methods – cash, card, and EFTPOS, which is handy enough.

Price-wise, it’s a bit of a rollercoaster. While one visitor reckons the prices aren’t too bad compared to Coles, others have reported some worrying experiences with unexpected price increases and additional charges. Bit dodge, if you ask me. We’ve even heard tales of seriously inflated prices on basic items like rolling papers.

The customer service… well, that’s where things get a bit rough. Visitors consistently mention having less-than-stellar experiences with the staff. Many have described encounters with rude service and a general lack of professionalism. There’s been quite a few complaints about staff being dismissive when customers come in with questions or concerns about their purchases.

The shop’s had its share of drama with product authenticity too. Multiple visitors have raised red flags about potentially counterfeit products, which isn’t exactly filling anyone with confidence. When customers have tried to sort out issues with faulty products, they’ve often hit a brick wall trying to get refunds or exchanges.

Look, every shop has its off days, but the consistent feedback suggests you might want to keep your wits about you if you decide to give this place a go. Maybe double-check what you’re buying and keep your receipt handy, just to be on the safe side.
