Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 278 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Customers frequently highlight the exceptional service provided by the staff, describing them as helpful, friendly, and professional. Many appreciate the smooth and stress-free processes, especially when dealing with specific team members who are noted for their knowledge and cooperative approach. The efficiency of staff during collection and the ease of navigating sites are also frequently mentioned as positive aspects. However, some people were dissatisfied with the product quality and delivery service, citing issues like items arriving damaged, not working, or being misrepresented in descriptions. There are also concerns regarding delivery addresses being truncated, leading to delays or diversions, and a lack of care in packaging for delicate items. Additionally, some customers expressed frustration with high fees and slow processes, which they felt led to significant financial losses.

Smooth car pick-up at Grays

Smooth car pick-up on Tuesday at Grays. Lochie was outstanding, clear communication, right on time, and super helpful with the paperwork. Made the whole process effortless. Thanks, Lochie!

Undrinkable Wine

The transaction was easy and delivery fine but the wine is undrinkable - it tastes like vinegar. Who needs 12 bottles of vinegar!

Poor Communication

I won the auction for a commercial oven but there was literally no support to help me get it picked up and delivered to me. There was now point of contact from Grays for myself or the transport company. I’m still not sure it will get picked up

WORST EXPERIENCE

I won an auction for $211 including premium member fees.
WhenI checked online I found that the item worth only $50. I reied to email Grays customer servise who emailed me back to wait for 2 busness days and they will try to resolve the issue.
After one week, the item was shipped without sending me any email explaining what happened in my complaint.
So disappointed.

Not happy jan …

Half the items for sale or for auction are above retail prices in the shops or online, how are sellers on grays allowed to do that, buyer beware and when you do win a item sometimes takes up to a week to get a consignment note from grays or Australia post very unprofessional.

Too hard to pay. Needs fixing.

The Auction process is down pat. Fine. Their Payment process is badly flawed. Needs an overhaul. Kind of leaves a bad last impression.
