1380083 2014-07-25 04:45:00 Visiting a web site with a view to purchasing items should be a pleasant experience and not like going down some back alley in a third world country and being confronted by pesky sales people.
I find the Duty Free site - http://www.dutyfreestores.co.nz to be so intrusive and frustrating and wonder if their management every try and experience it!
NO I do not want anything on their damn pop ups - if I wanted @&$?! Black Label I would have @&$!/ brought it - don't hassle me - if there was only an alternative.
If anyone can supply their management email address am happy to share some of their damn products!
Rant over.

service@dutyfreestores.co.nz - or - Just enter a message in the message window on the contact page. I'm pretty sure it will get "escalated" to management.

No pop-ups here, I wonder what's blocking them?

Hmmm, as I type I remember a mate mentioned this problem and he tracked it back to Internet Explorer as I recall. I'm using Firefox for what its worth.

1380089 2014-07-25 06:36:00 I used that site a few weeks ago, and wasn't bothered by heaps of pop-ups. The only pop-up I saw is when you view your cart and a "specials" pop-up displays. This is easily dismissed with the X or "No Thanks" button. It doesn't appear again.

Not much different to supermarkets stocking their check-out aisles with sweets/oddments in the chance you will add them to your cart while waiting to be served.

Rant over. Just tried with both Firefox & IE 11 (W8.1) no popups on either, no blocking software/plugins either on the browsers.

Had a look at some of their prices -- Are they friggin kidding ? Some of their pricing is more than a regular shop on some items.
