Harvey Norman stores are all owned directly by the company. The stores are not independently owned or franchised. They have stolen from the Australian taxpayer and abused their staff using this system... See more

Absolutely hopeless online business

Absolutely hopeless online business, I get better and quicker service from Chinese companies. Placed an online order and my payment was taken, after a week the order has not even been processed, and I have now been waiting a week to just get a response out of Harvey Norman. Keep on getting promised a response "within 48 hours", but never get one.

Don't accept any furniture that's faulty

Can't give no stars, but I would if possible.
Purchased a modular lounge, had it delivered, delivery guys found a piece was faulty, took video n pics, not delivery guys fault. Contacted Harvey Norman store, sent info n picture, got an email yesterday saying it'll be assessed in 6 weeks n then if it's their fault they'll remedy it. WAT THE
It is ur fault, it is faulty, why am I being punished for your incompetence at warehouse level? I've paid for it so you've got your money and I've got almost a lounge? Absolutely appalling customer service, this is not how you treat customers!

Harvey Norman are NDIS fraudsters now

Harvey Norman are now selling wheelchairs via marketplace with Gilani Engineering. I returned a product as it was not fit for purpose 81 days ago. They will not refund my $8500. Harvey Norman is actively engaging in NDIS theft/fraud now.

Should have read the reviews first

Should have read the reviews before purchasing. Also wish I had never purchased an electric recliner. Customer service may as well be non existent for all the good they have been. Have a problem with the wiring on my electric recliner and need to purchase a new motor. Customer service ordered this and said it should be here in 3 weeks. By the 4th week I chased them up 3 times. She has just advised that part was never in stock and will be a month away. In the meantime I have been stuck with my couch in the recline position since before Christmas and I am moving house next week (end of Feb). They have no solutions. Bundall store.

If I could give 0 stars I would

If I could give 0 stars I would. I bought a new computer and printer online two weeks ago. It said it would take two weeks to deliver. No computer or printer. Customer service palmed me off. I went into an actual store and got no help. I put in an official complaint. No response. DO NOT buy anything through Harvey Norman online. You won’t get your item/s and then have to wait WEEKS for a refund. Disgusting 😡😡

BEST support person, Aitish

Purchased logic docking station DV4 and issues with setup but here comes the best news, phoned Logic support (03) # and the service provider Aatish was what you call the perfect support person. Calm, professional and extremely competent, well done Aatish and thanks

AVOID ONLINE WITH HARVEY NORMAN

BEWARE - DONT SHOP ONLINE WITH THIS COMPANY!

Purchased a Vuly Trampoline Cover $149 + Shipping Order No. 31001589953.

Harvey Norman sent the item to an address not mine or the one on my invoice/order.

9 x emails and online enquiries with no refund or item replacement.. or any contact other than sending me the same tracking details showing it was not sent to my address!

Belive the negative review.. don't shop online, and I'd suggest avoiding in store as well.

Worst customer service, and would go further to say testament to fraud taking money without supplying the items.

False Stock Levels No Help

I ordered a TV on 1/12/24 based on the Harvey Norman website stating ships within 2 - 4 days. This TV was advertised as in stock so I purchased it for $250 more from Harvey Norman - instead of The Good Guys or Betta Electrical who had it $250 cheaper but they were not in stock and were back ordered until 6th Jan.
The DAY AFTER ordering - less than 24hrs I got an email and a text stating the order was delayed. Not timeline.. just delayed and upon checking online it said backordered. I spoke to Graham from the Carindale store on 12/12/24 who advised he could see shipping on 16th Dec which put my delivery at around xmas/last week dec. I spoke to him again on 17/12 after a number of rude emails from the HN online help department emailed me over a week after I sent an enquiry about the delay, He then called me back after speaking to Hisense who told him its bad news and now wont be until the end of January. This is an absolute joke - I should not be waiting 2 MONTHS for something I spent $3000 on. ESPECIALLY when it was noted as in stock/available and 2 - 4 days. This is going be at least a 2 month wait and I am out of pocket the additional money i spent with HN to end up having to wait even longer then the other places i could have purchased from. False advertising stating what was stated and very poor form to sell something you cant even get stock of.

Bought a kitchen aid in Black Friday…

Bought a kitchen aid in Black Friday sales as a Christmas present. Was convinced by staff to pay in store as they had 3 on order, rather than ordering online and paying delivery fee (approx $30). Now it’s Jan and still no kitchenaid, have stock in other stores but are stringing me along and won’t let me pick up from elsewhere. Keep offering me a refund so I can go buy it at another store for an extra $400. Keep telling me they will call with updates and never do. Ridiculous.

I bought an Apple watch on-line two days before Christmas when the computer said there were 3 available, however, when I arrived, there were none there and, despite promises to do so, they failed to even organise one in time from an alternative store. Now, they simply don't even answer their phone at the Noosaville store. Useless as tits on a bull!

I bought a new mobile

I bought a new mobile, from Harvey Norman. The technician transferred all the data for me. His Name is
Rowell & works for Harvey Norman, Cairns. He was patient & understanding, as, I am not a wizz with a mobile. Explained things clearly, so, I could understand.
I was happy with the price of the phone & the staff in
general.
The layout of the store, makes it easy to find the things you want & if you can't, there is always a polite staff member to help you. My experience was a very happy & successful one. Thankyou

Do not buy from Harvey Norman online at all

Do not buy from Harvey Norman online at all. We simply purchased some items online for click and collect. However they did not have the products. Online system advised us to contact the physical store and the physical store pushed us back to the online system. This had been going on for about 2 weeks and they could not find a solution for me. What a ridiculous system!

Toaster had my name on it!!!

So I am building a new house. For which I have purchased a big screen TV, French door fridge freezer, 2 drawer dishwasher, music system and new lounge, all from Harvey Norman well over 12k in the last couple of months. I ordered a Smeg kettle and toaster, of a particular colour. Bairnsdale store had the toaster and having made the order, the toaster was set aside with my purchase order attached, i.e Sold. Just waited for matching kettle to arrive from another Victorian store. Went in today, as kettle had arrived only to find they had sold the effing toaster. No customer loyalty at all it seems. No apology, no nothing.

Harvey Norman raincheck policy doesn't exist

They advertised a sale item that was not in stock then refused a raincheck for this item , difference being $170 , customer service has gone down the toilet with this company and I have usually had no trouble with them , the online chat is third-party operated so they can't achieve anything for you and just blame individual franchisees for their problems , how convenient lol . I will personally never shop there again as if you can't follow your own guidelines/ policies then what can you do ? You are not protected nor will they give a shit even when they are at fault .it's Modern company response 101 Hervey Norman have been training themselves well in this style of customer service , and losing customers by doing so.

Returns nightmare

I tried leaving this review on their website which Harvey Norman has rejected to publish:
There's no return policy for any pillows.
Extremely firm, which is impossible to gauge online and with no warning of no returns on their site, and with Harvey Norman, each store being an independent store, which means you need to find the store that has sent you your item and actually call that particular store and that particular department to begin any process, which you have no idea at checkout, it makes it quite a hassle. Not sure why you would buy online with Harvey Norman knowing this, but no one knows about this till they're faced with a daunting task of a return. I don't think anyone who's experienced this once would ever go back shopping with Harvey Norman, at least online anyway.
