King of the Pack Chirnside Park

King of the Pack in Chirnside Park, Victoria, is your typical suburban tobacconist with a bit of a mixed reputation. They’re open most days, running from 9 in the morning until 5:30pm Monday through Wednesday, with extended hours until 8pm on Thursdays and Fridays. Weekend warriors can pop in Saturdays from 9 to 5, and they’re even open Sundays from 10 to 5, which is pretty handy if you’re running low on supplies.

The store stocks all your usual tobacconist goods – cigarettes, rolling papers, lighters, and a decent range of smoking accessories. We’ve heard from some visitors that they carry a good variety of products, though opinions on pricing seem to bounce around a bit. Look, some reckon they’ve found great deals here, while others reckon the prices are a bit steep. Guess it depends what you’re after.

When it comes to customer service, well, it’s been a bit hit and miss lately. Some folks rave about the friendly staff and top-notch service they’ve received, while others haven’t had such a ripper time. We’ve heard stories about problems with water pipes and such, and some customers mention the staff could be a bit more helpful when dealing with product issues. One bloke mentioned they held onto his receipt when he tried to return something, which isn’t exactly best practice.

They take all sorts of payment methods here – cash, card, EFTPOS, whatever suits your fancy. It’s worth noting that experiences can vary pretty widely depending on what you’re after and who’s behind the counter on any given day. Might be worth keeping your receipt tucked away safe, just in case you need to sort something out later.
