Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 62 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the customer service, finding it unhelpful, difficult to reach a real person, and often leading to unresolved issues. Customers frequently reported problems with their orders, such as receiving incorrect or damaged items, and experiencing significant delays or complete failures in delivery. The online purchasing experience was often described as woeful, with issues like items being out of stock after an order was placed, or products arriving in poor condition. Though some customers were satisfied with individual staff members, praising their courtesy, professionalism, and helpfulness, a minority of people were dissatisfied with the staff, citing instances of rudeness, unhelpfulness, and inappropriate conduct. Reviewers also mentioned issues with products, including quality concerns and items not matching descriptions.

DONT BOTHER WITH THE SALES

DONT BOTHER WITH THE SALES, IT IS RUBBISH. Bought a Dolce & Gabbana top online. The original price was $2,300 discounted to $686 two days ago. Didn't bother getting anything else. Received email today that it wasn't in stock. What rubbish. How can they sell online, you pay for it, then be told it is not in stock. So now I don't have the top I am after and all the good designer wear is sold out. Rang customer service and waited an hour before hanging up. Rang again for a call back and was offered a $100 voucher, ARE YOU KIDDING? David Jones didn't have the decency to refund my money yet. Never again. What a waste of time and a huge disappointment. Not surprised they got sold so cheap.

Only store in QLD to range a certain 'expensive' shirt from England. Waited almost half an hour on Sunday 13 Nov for the chat bot. The text icon on same page states: Why wait? Text us & a team member will get back to you once available. What They don't tell you is that meant 25 hours later. The following day at 2:15 arrived in Brisbane 2 hours away.
Thought David Jones was in Queens Mall, My Fault.
It was Queens Plaza. Only put one hour on my park. My Fault. Couldn't find Queens Plaza. My Fault.
I left without the shirt. My Fault. Got back in my car and the text came through. Quite happy actually that I didn't find them. Thanks David Jones. Good result.

Avoid David Jones online shopping

Online shopping experience is appalling. They drop ship most of the items then refuse to provide refund if the order is unfulfilled and instead blame the vendor or Australia Post. I am still waiting on my order from 7 weeks ago, and David Jones take 1-2 weeks to respond to emails, they don’t even provide courtesy of including their name. Avoid david Jones online shopping!!

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE
It took me 4 hours before being able to talk to someone. They don't respond to phone calls - chat works only sometimes and they just ignore emails.
I can't believe such a big company delivers this kind of (non-existing) service.

David Jones, New Zealand

Purchased a pan at DJ Wellington before it closed, was charged incorrectly, took it back for refund where I was assured it was processed and was charged a second time at correct price. 2 months + no refund and a pan I have paid for twice, completed impossible to complain in NZ. Never trust DJ!

I want to pass on a commendation for Mandy in Customer Services at David Jones Doncaster store. What a patient, helpful and pleasant lady she is! My thanks to Mandy for assisting with my enquiry today. She was an absolute delight.

Parramatta DJ

Parramatta DJ. Staff accused me of returning a poor quality item. Despite me returning a brand new top with tags and receipt and original untouched DJ bag. What gobsmacked me is that the top is designed to be sheer and the staff was so rude and blunt to accuse a customer of something they have not done. If she walked to the shelf and compared it to the same item, her brain would have realised her incompetence. Appalling behaviour. Just horrible. KMART, TARGET, MYER and even Best and less offered superior customer service to me on the same day.

I would give David Jones less than one star if I could

I would give David Jones less than one star if I could. They make promises but don't deliver on them - false and misleading. I am waiting for a winter item that no-one appears to be able to find. It is cold now, and I would like it or my money back. Instead I have been getting the cold shoulder. I wish I had seen these reviews first - I would never have shopped there.

Was excited to order new items for a work function. David Jones sent me the wrong top (someone else's order) and the customer service was terrible. Forced to wait for them to get their act together for the wrong item that I received. They would not send out what I had ordered, even though I have the order number etc, nor process a refund. Their team's response has been disappointing and slow

Be careful when buying a sleep maker mattress from David Jones, slept on ours for one night and hurts hips. Some stores have a try out policy, but not David Jones so have a $2700 mattress we can't sleep on. The David Jones sleep maker person said to go to Kmart or Target and buy a bed topper. Be careful where you buy.

I had purchased an item with a promo gift card, item had been ordered 2/02/2022 and delivered 7/02/2022. there was a gift card with a expiry after 1 month after the purchase which was 3/2/2022. what is going to happen to the days which the item was delayed for the delivery you should consider that in your promo expiry qq items are not shipped the same day so why aren't you considering the delivery delays in the expiry. very disappointing and not a good customer service my card was expired on 3/3 and they didn't even extend it for a day! ordno: 91523000

Poor customer service

I ordered an item online that arrived damaged so I went to Macquarie Park David Jones to refund/exchange.

The staff who served me was inconsiderate and clueless on how to refund payment and was reluctant to assist me. So INCOMPETENT!

Also after the staff realised she processed the payment incorrectly she tried to blame me!
DJs would appreciate if you can train your staff to NOT blame your customer for not knowing how to refund payments!! APPALLING!!!!

Never experienced this at any retail store!!

Drove 2 hours to speak to someone in the Ella Bache section to be told there's no one who can help. I was treated like I was a nuisance. I bought two products and the girls didn't believe there was a bonus offer - I had to google it and show them on their website. Then I still didn't get the bonus offer, and the product they sold me was not the same as the tester they showed me - after they finally found one. They kept telling me they don't have testers. Won't go back.
