Cheap products that are difficult to return...

Purchased a $30 USB hub from this online reseller.
Paid for express post and received it very fast which was good.
Plugged in the device and everything seemed good until i went to turn it off, it wouldn't actually turn off. So the only way to turn it off is to unplug from the cigarette lighter.
Contacted company and went thru the online warranty claim and even sent a video of the fault.
Received a reply email from them who told me to send my one back and he would post out another one at the same time. Explained to him that i had glued my backing plate to the truck and don't have original packaging anymore and that if he just sent me the replacement hub (only) first i could avoid downtime with use in my truck and could then just do a swap over and send back my faulty hub in his replacement packaging and he could then RMA a complete faulty set when he received it.
Apparently this was not possible so instead i will just throw it in the bin and use the replacement one i purchased from amazon. Customer service like a brick

Hi Andy, sorry to hear you are having issues with Outback Series 95L Fridge App. Below I have listed the steps to connect to the fridge app.

1. Download the app named KA Outback (Please note this app is different from KA Outback Proof Gear)

Available on the Google Play Store & App store

2. Ensure your Outback Series Fridge Freezer is turned on & locations services is enable on your phone

3. Search for the Fridge Wifi Network on your phone or device. It will look similar to JTZNBX_123987

4. Open the the KA Outback App press the "add new fridge" icon and your Fridge ID will automatically show up.

5. Select your Fridge ID and you will now be connected to your fridge

If this has not helped and you are still having issue with connection can you please email us marketing@australiandirect.com.au and we will take look into this further. I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Regards,

Dylan

All i can say is stay well clear of Australian Direct and Kickass if you actually need after sales service or warranty, my Kickass fridge stopped working while on a trip out in central Oz just what you need while travelling. then tried contacting them for repairs thats when their true colors became apparent.
The customer support number sends you a guy in the yep you guessed it the Philippines who will promise you that someone will call you back and get the issue sorted, nothing called again same story and it goes on, maybe they work on the theory that you will just give up and go away, not likely.
Klaiton tells us all in his video that he has personally designed the fridges to his own specs to suit, wait for it, the unique Australian conditions. what a load of crap and actually misleading, what he is flogging is a discontinued fridge from another manufacturer
Do yourself a favour and buy an Engel

Hi Steve, I'm sorry to hear you did not have a satisfactory experience. I believe our warranty manager who is based in Australia has contacted you multiple times to come to a resolution. In regards to our fridges we use to supply EvaKool Fridges however, we have not sold EvaKool fridges for several years and have put a lot of research and development time into our current fridges.

Service and Products

Australian Direct. I found there website and youtube videos very informative and easy for me to understand which helped me decide which options would be best for our caravan set up. I also contacted via phone to clarify some points. Very happy with the service and email communication. Waiting on order so haven't tested products yet but all the reviews seem very positive. I have ordered an AGM battery, DC-DC charger kit and AC-DC Smart charger.
