New Zealand's Favourite for Fast, Affordable Natural Health
Welcome!
It’s been a while since the last printing of our catalogue. Now that most of our business is
done through our website, we weren’t sure that the hardcopy catalogue was still needed.
Well, we got the message loud and clear; the printed catalogue still has a valued place in
the lives of HealthPost customers. As so many of you have asked for it, we’ve spent many
hours finding a way to create a catalogue that is cost-effective to produce while being easy
to update. The booklet you hold in your hands is the end result.
Please bear in mind that our current Specials and Offers change daily and our product
range is being revised and expanded every week. To reflect this in printed form is close
to impossible. We therefore encourage you to check our website www.healthpost.co.nz or
contact our friendly Customer Service Team on 0800 148 148 before placing your order. There
may be some great current deals that we don’t want you to miss out on.
For environmental reasons we prefer to limit the number of copies we print each year.
We send our catalogue to selected customers that may have limited access to the internet
and to customers that request a copy. If you no longer wish to receive a printed catalogue
please let us know.
We hope you enjoy the read (on the couch with your feet up or out in the sunshine with a
cup of tea) and feel free to contact us with any feedback or comments.
Yours in Health,
The HealthPost Team
