Bonds socks used to be great however the ones I've purchased recently have gone out of shape quickly in the foot and are now baggy and too big for me.

Slow, wrong and poor quality

This is an example of a company that doesn’t embrace innovation or customer service. The online order took over two weeks for delivery which isn't consistent with online delivery expectations. It also contained undesired and unusable substitutes which is just inexcusable customer experience. The quality isnt what it used to be with material piling after a few washes. If you want to buy Bonds go in-store, or do what I have done since then; consider other brands because Bonds doesn't care about you and they aren't really comfy quality anymore.

My go to for decades but the engineered obsolescence has crossed the line with my last purchases.

I used to buy men's socks and boxers in bulk, so I'd probably wear a pair once every 10 days but they just don't last. I'd rather pay more for a reliable brand than have to replace my Bonds, even though they seem to on sale every other hour.

Bought a few things from an outlet store recently including some tracksuit pants for my husband and they started pilling after the first wash! Quality has turned to garbage. Very disappointing, will go back to buying trackies from Kmart!

What happened to Bonds?!

Such a disappointing shopping experience with Bonds recently. My order was lost so it took three weeks and multiple follow up calls to receive my order. The track pants are decent, but the amount of lint they shed is unbelievable! I’ve washed them three times now and there are tufts of black lint constantly strewn throughout my house.

Another underwhelming factor is the left-wing agenda they’re pushing - keep your politics out of my undies! Go woke, go broke. I’ll never shop from Bonds again.

Terrible experience with Bonds customer service

Terrible experience with Bonds with an issue of a lost (expensive) order - with customer service ending my chat whilst I was trying to get to an acceptable response and automated an unhelpful responses over email and no other way of getting support. As of now, I am almost $300 out of pocket with no accountability accepted by Bonds.

Don't understand all the negative posts here.I placed an order on the 16th of March to the UK and they arrived on the 27th.
I purchased 2 mens thongs and they were both stylish and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend bonds for both quality and efficiency.

UNAUTHORISED DEBITS!!!

TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR CART BEFORE PAYING!!!! FALSE PROMOTIONS & UNAUTHORISED DEBITS!!! I was overcharged almost $100 MORE than what I authorised at Checkout and told I could not have any amount refunded without proof via a screenshot. Spoke to LOUISE & HEIDI who not only wouldn't deal with me after saying I didn't have a screenshot and cant be refunded or have order cancelled and then hung up on me, but also proceeded to mockingly tell me that everything was "clearly in T&C's".

They pretend to help, but don't

Following my previous review, Bonds posted a public response claiming to intend to help me. I reached out to them and they are not helping me. In other words, their comment seems to have been just for show.

Bonds Men's White Singlets Inconsistent Quality

Bonds Men's White Singlets have been a part of my wardrobe for over 40 years.
It is increasingly difficult to find my size (usually 28 now 26) in stores, so I buy online.
I note a quality difference in the same size depending on the retailer and country of origin.
For example, Singlets purchased from Amazon (.au) come from Cambodia and those purchased from Target (.au) come from China.
The singlets manufactured in Cambodia are longer and wider and lose their shape easily, even when first worn. They also feel "thinner."
The ones from China are closer to size specifications, stay in shape when worn, and fit better.

Without doubt the ones manufactured in Australia were the best for shape, feel and longevity. However,
I understand the economic imperative to move manufacturing to overseas but a Branded product should be consistent regardless of the country of origin.

Thus, I will no longer risk buying from Cambodia, and I cannot buy from any online retailer unless I know the country of origin of their stock. Unfortunately, Amazon does not always make the country of origin clear.

I sent the details direct to Bonds as requested by them on: Tuesday, 21 February 2023 2:39 PM and I have received no acknowledgement nor a response.

Bonds Raglan T

The classic cotton Raglan T is now made from cotton nylon and is feels aweful. Bonds have managed to ruin a classic.

Only worn twice and the undies are already falling apart. Got them for a Christmas gift. Contacted Bonds customer support about getting an exchange and they said I needed to contact the person who gave me the undies, get the receipt then go back to the retail store where they were purchased from and try and get an exchange from them. Haha, no worries Bonds. You've just lost a customer and I'll post this review on a few more websites for your poor customer service.

Do yourself a favour and buy the generic undies from Kmart. Avoid bonds at all costs, overpriced garbage!

Zero Customer Care and Service

Firstly, I wanted to mention I was not allowed to publish this on the Bonds Review website. Therefore I feel they are not being transparent with the customers.

Like others who have left a review, I never received my order.

I made my purchase on October 16th, and it was shipped out on October 21st and would arrive between the 24th to the 26th of October. After October 26th, it was continuously delayed until Australia Post contacted me and told me I would need to flag the issue with Bonds. That was fine; however, it is already November at this stage.

I sent detailed emails to Bonds forwarding the official emails from Australia Post and what they needed to do moving forward, and I also stated that I would like them to resend the items as I had used a coupon. There were highly competitive sales when I made this online purchase, and I did not want to lose my voucher and the sale prices.

However, Bonds would send me extraordinarily vague and generic emails that appeared to be computer generated. I attempted to call, but I could never reach someone.

I wasted a lot of my time and energy on an issue that Bonds could have resolved by resending the "lost in transit" package, which was not my fault.

I was automatically sent a refund on November 23rd with no further explanation. I lost the $20 coupon that Bonds had sent me and the multiple sales they had at the time.

I will not be purchasing from Bonds Online again. All in all, terrible experience with bots for customer service.

Bonds needs to put their customer first, not last.

They are unreliable and do not post the items you pay for.

I made a purchase on the 30th of October and have received no notification what so ever. It is now the 8th of November. I have sent an email asking about the status of my order and they are so rude they have not replied. I am lucky I paid with paypal because I am now going to lodge a dispute with paypal and get my money refunded. Don't buy from this company, they are unreliable and it is not worth the hassle to now have to go and get a refund.

Very poor and rude staff in Dfo Essendon store. Keep on interrupting badly while shopping and have hanger obsession. They don’t let you remove hanger from clothes even if you are buying them

Disrespectful worker

I had the absolute worse experience in Broadmeadows Bonds. One of the workers had very poor customer service and an awful attitude. I was unhappy with the service and disappointed in Bonds for having workers who have no respect, not any customer service.

The quality of Bonds mens singlets has deteriorated greatly since manufacturing went to China. The weight of the cotton is getting lighter & lighter so they wear out quickly & I’ve noticed even the sizing is smaller than the last one I bought. Absolute rubbish & I won’t be buying anymore of them. Very disappointing BONDS !!!

Website broken, bad customer support.

I recently attempted to order a number of items during a sale on bonds.com.au.

When I tried to check out and pay, an error appeared on the website which resulted in my card being charged, but no order actually placed on their system.
I contacted support about this, as I was concerned that I had been charged by hadn't received an order confirmation email.

I immediately contacted support about this issue. After about a week, they finally came to a "resolution", which was simply to refund the original transaction. So now it's a week later and I'm still without the items that I ordered, and of course I can't just order them again because they all cost 40% more.

I contacted support again and suggested that perhaps they could send me a voucher code for the value of the discount that I originally received, so that I may order the items again and not be disadvantaged by their broken website. They quickly responded and told me that they are "unable to honour sale prices for any orders that were placed outside of the sale period".

So basically, their website has bugs and can't be trusted, and if you are misfortunate enough that something happens with it, you can't rely on customer support to offer any form of support whatsoever except for your money back eventually and to waste your time.
