Unhelpful when it comes to fixing their errors

Such a painfully long and unproductive customer service experience.
for my online order, they wrote the wrong name on the package which is a problem because the package was going to student accommodation and they need the correct name to find the student in the building. There is no apology for the mishap and then shifting blame to me when I wrote the correct details when I made the order. Because the order had already dispatched with the incorrect name I was told there was nothing they could do. the CSO was quite rude so I asked to speak with supervisor and i had to ask 3 times because he refused the organise it.
Don't waste your time buying from them. If something is amiss with the order, they are so painfully unhelpful and no accountability. spend your money elsewhere.

Spoke to Ben on the phone from The Good Guys Home Services he was very rude. Just had a simple inquiry about wanting to check on the status of an order, I had only been given an order number and he kept asking for a HS number and was completley silent and unhelpful when I said I hadn’t been provided one. Awful customer service, treat you like you’re bothering them by calling. Do not recommend

Toowoomba Good Guys

Went to store in Toowoomba and purchased an item. Was told that the delivery fee would be waived - supposedly a good deal. It would be sent to my address in about five days. Waited two weeks and nothing. No call to advise anything!!! Rang to be told "I will look into it and get back to you" ...no call .... rang again and told a fob off "It is on a pallent... somewhere etc etc". Said I would wait for another week and would be asking for a credit. That did nothing. Finally went to store and got the credit after them supposedly looking to see if the item was not "in store"!!! It was clear to me that they were trying to see what they didnt have anywhere and this was a means of getting one's money and no doubt using it to make interest. What a sham!!!

More like BAD GUYS

I purchased a fridge from Good Guys Bayswater. Was given a delivery day and 3 hour window which was fine. The fridge needs to go upstairs so when I purchased it I told the sales person this and they said they would send out 3 people. When they arrived at my property the fridge wouldn't fit at the top of the staircase in the box, but of course they can't take it out of the box. Said they would let me know when they will come back with 4 people. I didn't hear anything, so went to the store as I couldn't get through - phone rings and rings and nobody answers it. They said they would message the delivery team and they would get back to me. Surprise, surprise, no response. Have called 3 times today and still nothing. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM THAT NEEDS TO BE DELIVERED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Their online purchasing service is a complete joke

I ordered a 90cm induction cooktop to replace one that was damaged on the 11th January. Feedback from the Goodguys about the delivery was vague. No details given to me until the actual day that the top was supposed to be delivered and that was after seven phone calls to my local store who disavowed any knowledge of the purchase because it was online. Was finally put in touch with the web team who informed me that it was in a store 90 km away and would be delivered as soon as I made a booking for it to be delivered. Today when finally delivered I opened the package to find it completely smashed. Now I have the drama of having to coordinate the damaged item's return and subsequent replacement. Delivery time is ridiculously too slow, the follow up and feedback with online purchasing is terrible. DO NOT BUY ONLINE from this mob. I cannot stress this enough!

Order not delivered when it was supposed to be and rude customer service

Ordered an appliance and was told to expect delivery one week later. One week later, received an email to say there was a delay with the supplier. I contacted online support and they said my goods would definitely be delivered the following week. The following week I received the same email about the delay with a supplier. Went back to online help. I said I needed a delivery date or I would require a refund. I received a rude reply from a representative called Stefan saying they couldn’t give me a delivery date and he would process the refund. I asked him to send me an email confirmation of the refund and he said I could take a screenshot of the chat! No apology. No explanation. The Good Guys had my money for over two weeks and the refund takes 3 to 5 days to process. Unacceptable. The money should only be taken off a customer account once you KNOW you have an item in stock to ship!

I went to purchase a washing machine…

I went to purchase a washing machine late on "cyber Monday" and the Lutwyche store was crazy busy. I was served by Rebecca A and she was incredibly calm, assured and helpful in a stressful environment. I also want to thank the Manager Ethan C who also went over and above to make this truly one of the best customer experiences I have had in years (I am 63 years old).

Shocking service all round, including the young woman on the chat line.

Actually, they don’t even deserve a one star, I will never deal with Good Guys again. First of all they didn’t have what I ordered online, I had ordered on 13th Jan, they informed me they didn’t have it the day BEFORE delivery supposed to be on 21st, so I tried to get a refund They came back with they have found one, it somewhere else and would send it to me. now I’ve learnt on the 24th that it will not be delivered until the 28th. Original delivery date was the 21st.

What annoyed me more than anything was that the customer service on chat, a real person who I was chatting with she said ‘just wait for it to arrive it’s holidays, and closed the chat on me shocking service never again.

The good guys Auburn is hopeless and…

The good guys Auburn is hopeless and inconvenient
Being a tech company they don’t the simple thing to change the ownership
When I first mentioned the reason of my visits they told me instantly they can’t do it
When I was reluctant and told I was redirected from Telstra and their online support they eventually agreed to try after checking with manager who was unhelpful and seemed uninterested in resolving my issue, the situation didn’t improve—there was still no solution offered and no accountability taken ,
Manager was in phone and eating and talking whole time In front of customers she totally was avoiding me and handed me a number to call or go to another provider what a joke when they were the one where I got my number from , another Asian lady Ann was rude she needs to learn some basic customer service rather then saying can’t do can’t do , I don’t blame her might have got from her manager
It’s was a horrendous customer service
Lack of knowledge The lady manger KAIRA needs a training on handling the issue , employees needs to trained
Went to Voda phone they did it instantly and laughed how good guys couldn’t do it
Also BIG NO don’t use there MOBILE PLAN because they don’t know what they are selling or how to deal with future issues & DONOT FALL in VOUCHER scheme is a SCAM
I wouldn’t recommend anyone to use any plans from good guys esp this Auburn branch

No wonder why their reviews are so bad

Installer issue

Purchased dishwasher and $389 installation and removal of old dishwasher. Dishwasher is fine, their installer put the dishwasher in but it doesn't push all the way back because the tubing was in the way (not long enough to lie in the recess along the back bottom of the dishwasher so now it's protruding beyond the benchtop, looks silly and also gets in the way of adjacent cabinetry door from fully opening. Tried to communicate with installer directly, he acknowledged the issue but said if I wanted him to fix it he would charge a call out fee and additional $66 x 2 per extension tubing installation. OR YOU COULD HAVE DONE IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. Currently waiting on Good Guys to resolve the issue.

Do not bother; waste of time and money

Purchased a fan online with delivery. Received a kitchen mixer. I am unable to travel to a store or post office to return the mixer. I completed the return form as instructed. Nothing happened. I had to call their 1300 number several times and each time was promised I would be emailed a label for a courier to collect the mixer. This did not occur.
At this point they were holding my fan hostage until the mixer was returned, but they were not facilitating the return.
I finally phoned my closest store and the staff there were helpful and prompt, emailing me the courier label. I received a refund once the mixer was delivered.
One star as I never received the fan I ordered, or a refund for postage of the mixer. Customer service on the 1300 number was 0/10. Store staff did their job. I wasted several weeks chasing this up.

Unbelievably Poor Service and Disrespectful Delivery Handlingappointed with The Good…

Extremely disappointed with The Good Guys online purchase and their so-called “resolution” team. They do NOT disclose delivery time windows before you complete payment. Only after the order is finalised do they suddenly give you an unreasonable all-day window from 7am to 5pm, as if customers have no jobs or responsibilities.
I called to explain that I would be available after 1:30pm and tried to find a reasonable solution. What followed was an absolute nightmare. I was transferred from person to person, forced to repeat myself over and over, and treated with zero empathy or professionalism.
One staff member was unbelievably sarcastic and actually suggested I cancel the order, then casually added that my refund would take 3–5 business days — clearly said just to frustrate me further. That is not customer service, that is intimidation.
I need this item urgently, yet instead of helping, they made the process stressful, time-wasting, and disrespectful. This is one of the worst online shopping experiences I’ve had in Australia. Completely unprofessional, poorly trained staff, and a delivery system that shows no respect for working customers. I deeply regret buying from The Good Guys and will not be using them again.

Received item that was not new 8 Jan-received replacement, new item 6 February

Ordered a carpet shampoo machine 3/1/26. It arrived 8/1/26, not new in the box, no packaging, parts missing, no instructions. Could not find a way to contact them via their website. Online ''Chat'' is AI. Finally phoned the store it came from and was immediately given a 1300 number. Rang to be told 'it will be easiest to just take it a store and swap over'. Not for me. If I could have bought in a store I wouldn't have got it online. They emailed that day asking for all the details so they could ''get the ball rolling'' in 2-3 business days. OK, good. On 13th received a phone call telling me 'it will be easiest to just take it a store and swap over'. I said not for me, as above. Then "Oh. I'll contact the team for someone to collect". In hindsight I should have ordered from one of the other retailers who had the product at the same (sale) price. Disinclined to request a refund as now I will have to pay full price somewhere else.
Having heard nothing, phoned them again on 16 and 23 January. Email 28 Jan advising that delivered item will be collected today. However, Team Global Express did not turn up. Phoned the Online Orders office 29 Jan. They arranged for collection Monday 2 Feb - it was collected. Email today, 5 Feb, to say that new item will be dispatched tomorrow. ITEM RECEIVED and is packaged, brand new, in box. When I assembled the machine I discover than AN ESSENTIAL PART (A CAP) IS MISSING. Have messaged Bissell but fully expect them to say I have to purchase it.

Great service.…

My husband and I visited the Tingalpa store in Qld today and was served by Jay. She showed us the product efficiently and we purchased it at a very competitive price. She put us both at ease with her and would like to say it was a pleasure to be served by Jay. She was an interesting person and we found even though we of a different age group Jay was very easy to talk and laugh with. Thank you Jay.

Worst online experience ever

Worst online experience ever. Ordered a dishwasher in Regional Victoria and they didn't pick up the order twice, it took 10 days to chase them and they had to reinstate the order a third time! I was so annoyed that I had to do all the calling and wasn't provided tracking as well as arranging tradespeople to install something that never arrived. And they charge for delivery!!! What service??? Useless customer care the store manager was full of excuses so cancelled our order and went to Appliances Online Australia and they delivered for FREE in 24 hours. That's how it should be done!!
