False advertising

I bought a product on Mighty Ape as they advertised next day delivery. That was 5 days ago and the product has still not been delivered even though they are advertising same day delivery on this product now.
Not impressed at all as I needed the product by yesterday, definitely false advertising.

I am sorry for any disappointment on this, I can see that this order has been shipped out and we had some delays originally on this, and we do apologise. The order has now been misdirected by NZ Post, and I can see you have not been in touch with us about this order. Please reach out to us directly so we can assist on this and ensure you get your order.

Please note, same day delivery is an optional express service for orders, and incurs an additional fee. Your order was shipped out on standard NZ Post

Terrible experience

Terrible experience. Purchased item on 19 March. The item was advertised as estimated delivery on 1 April but it is now 1 May and the item is not even delivered yet!! Misleading advertisement on delivery times I am still waiting for customer service response. I will never buy from Mighty Ape again. They are not reliable at all!!!!

Ordered a pot set

Ordered a pot set. Order too far away so canceled. No refund. Just a credit. Asked for a refund no response. Trying to order something else and no where to apply my credit on the order!! So frustrating!! Will not be buying from Mighty Ape again.

I am sorry for any confusion on this, I can see our team are communicating with you about this. As you cancelled the item, you selected "Account Credit" as your form of refund as we do not typically give credit refunds unless customers request this. As you chose this, this is why it was refunded back in this way. Our team is currently assisting you with this to get this refunded to your payment method instead.

Truly disgusting service

Truly disgusting service! I preordered an item through Mighty Ape. Days after the release date of the item and it not being shipped yet, I contacted support to be told the item had been "delayed from the supplier" (despite all other stores in the country receiving stock).
Only a couple hours after this, I received an email saying my order had been cancelled and I would be refunded because they "oversold" the product. Which is disgusting practice. If I had been told before the product released I may have been able to track it down and buy it elsewhere, but it was a popular item and it was sold out NZ-wide by the time this all happened, so I missed out entirely because of Mighty Ape and their terrible practice. I am incredibly disappointed.

We really are sorry to see this, sadly while we do our best to ensure the stock our suppliers are confirming with us is accurate, occasional issues can arise and in this instance our supplier was not able to supply the amount of stock we had planned. We've refunded you fully for this order, and we reached out to you as soon as we had confirmation from our supplier that this was oversold. We do apologise again for this experience and understand the disappointment

Great products

Pretty straight forward process when ordering online. I've never had an issue purchasing products on this website. Great delivery service as well.

Insensitive approach

One of the top most frustrating and disappointing customer experiences of my past 25 years of my life! I ordered a robux gift card for a boy who had a birthday. The website mentioned that it will be instantly delivered to my email. It never arrived even on the day after his birthday. Ruined it. There is no way to ring the customer service. They don't even respond to my several messages left on their chat box. I cannot believe their insensitivity and escapism. They don't even offer any assistance or support to help you deal with this issue and no reparations either. I can submit the chat history to show how they deal with such issues, highly disappointing and cortisol raising experience.

I'm extremely disappointed with the level service I've received from this company.
I've placed an order with the expectation that it would be delivered within the promised time frame. Unfortunately not only was my delivery delayed but I was also informed that it has been postponed to an even later date. What's most frustrating is the lack of reliability and poor customer service.
I would not recommend this company based on my experience, and I hope they seriously improved their delivery process and customer communication moving forward.

primate not worth it

I have used mighytape since 2010, and had very good experience until this year. the shipping cost is absolutely ridiculous.
First primate free shipping became very limited.
2nd, the cost for shipping calculated by each item, when I try to order 8 manga books, the shipping cost was $70

to be honest, i don't know what's wrong with this company. the standard shipping is more expensive than JBHIFI and the warehouse. and the deal is not that great anymore. Kogan certainly is a good failure example.

I think all primate members should seek for law protection our right and report them. as mightape claim they have 99% products for free shipping, and I think it's a fake and misdirect customers

Certa 3.9m extendable ladder

First order. A+. Dispatched on a Sunday; very reasonable delivery charge. Delivery was next day. Top tier service; well beyond expectations. I'm now much more likely to buy again from Mighty Ape.

Mighty Ape is no longer worth buying from.

I have been a customer of Mighty Ape from the beginning. I ordered two packages of Thermoskin ice wrap on 1st April. I expected to get it within a couple of days, I have heard nothing apart from the initial 'we're on to it'. I went into the account to find that (a) it was not in stock and is coming from Australia, not obvious on the website. (b) It's still sitting in Aus waiting to be shipped (c) No communication from mighty ape about this at all, just silence (This is my last purchase from Mighty Ape ever. Utterly disappointed.

I am sorry to hear this. Mighty Ape offers a Marketplace platform, that lets third party sellers list items and directly dispatch them. Their listing pages will show that they are shipping from their own stores, and not directly from Mighty Ape, and will provide rough shipping times at the checkout as well. If you're having issues with this order or its late, please get in touch with us

Would Definately Recommend Mighty Ape!!!

It was really awesome when the company would let me know where and what date my package would arrive. I extremely thought it was even better when they informed me that my books were delivered and they were!!!! Great communication 🤗🤗🤗

Have purchased multiple items & found the entire experience to be totally awesome, I now check Mighty Ape first when looking for products. Prices are 99% cheaper in comparison and this can be verified by the Price Spy site as well.

The system continually keeps you informed with delivery progress via emails and product ETA.

Very Fast Delivery!!!

They also, have the best mobile plan in NZ, don't tell anyone!!!
I purchased a one-year sim card plan on an annual basis which has saved me hundreds with unlimited Calls, Texts & Data (Choose your required data speed).
I then purchased another one-year sim card plan with a promotion - 2 sim cards for the price of one ULTRA-Fast plan literally saved thousands of dollars in comparison to other mobile providers.

Data availability being the real deciding factor here, I
was sick of being charged for going over my data limit every month.

Good Luck

Absolute worst experience

Absolute worst experience. They advertised a expected delivery day of 17/3/26 and its now 2/4/26 and I still havent recieved it. I have 'live chatted' with them 5 times to resolve this. Apparently the order got lost in the system - we are talking two full Queen sized matteress. Avoid at all costs. Would leave a negative review if I could
