Just avoid Noel Leeming at all costs

Bought some headphones from Noel Leeming online. I used them for a couple of weeks for short periods, but having started work in an office, wearing them for extended periods they have begun to really hurt my ears.

The sound is good and they are not damaged, but the design of the headphones is causing me pain. There are many people like me on the internet who have had a similar experience.

I have explained this repeatedly to noel leeming, and they insist I have to bring the product into their store for an assessment. I do not live near a store, and I have repeatedly explained that there is nothing to assess, they are not damaged/broken. It is as if the customer service staff simply do not read the e-mails, and do not engage with the detail of what you're saying.

Great Sales, appalling delivery and customer service

Stayed home waiting for delivery of a new Fridge/Freezer on the delivery day promised. When no one showed or contacted me I lost another 45 mins on the phone lines the following day, as no one answers the phone - it just rings endlessly (Store or Delivery depot). I eventually spoke to customer service, who told me the item couldn't be delivered as the invoice was outstanding (I pointed out I had paid a week prior via bank transfer as instructed by the sales staff). Was then told 'Oh we don't deliver to Warkworth'??? Have now been told I 'might' get delivery next week? Surprisingly, I now have zero confidence in this business and will not be giving them my business in the future. A pity as we made a point of buying local to support our local store.

Jon Gartside, Chris Thomason-Tata and Jack Rees- Noel Leeming Commerical Division

Being a property manager, I manage properties from Houses, to Apartments and I couldn't think of the best trio to work with. I come from an appliance background so speaking with them about products, availability, and space to put things in has been an asset to the trade teams, the Owners, and tenants.
There is perfect communication from all of them, if one is away the other will pick up the request and see it through. The service from this team is number one, my go-to when I need products and they do put it right if there is an issue, for example when I needed three ovens installed and we found out that three houses had a low amperage to run the ovens so we couldn't use them, advised the team and new ovens that would work in this situation were ordered, ones that couldn't be installed were taken back with no issues, and all parties happy with the result.
Keep it up, team :)

Nobody answers the phone

Nobody ever answers the phone, tried 30x over last two days. Our problem was installation we paid for not done and old machine we paid to be removed not taken away, but whatever the issue, they are not picking up the phone so it's not happening.

Thank you to Matt at Hornby

I would like to express my thanks to Matt at Hornby store. I took my elderly mothers tablet in to try and sort out a tech issue and within 10 minutes he sorted it out. The tablet is my Mum's lifeline and keeps her mind active. She had no access to the app store and lost her beloved You Tube. Thank you Matt, you don't know what you have done. Ka pai.

Purchased a laptop from Noel leeming…

Purchased a laptop from Noel leeming with warranty package. The laptop was not turning on and had to be put up for repair which was within the warranty period. It’s been more than a month and still haven’t got my laptop back .
I keep calling the Hastings centre but no one picks up . Been there several ones and all they do is blame it on the hp( laptop s a hp ) and who in return feel that the delay was from Noel leeming. Such a horrible customer care , would never recommend anyone to purchase any products from Noel leeming . I have given my laptop for repair on 29 April and still waiting.

A less than dry experience …

We ordered a Lg Dryer and paid for it on Tuesday the 2nd of May on the advice that it would be delivered on the Fridaythat week . No delivery on Friday . Phoned the store multiple times but nobody answered the phone on any of these calls . So went in on the Monday and was told it would be delivered on the Wednesday of that week . No delivery on Wednesday and so drove to the store on Thursday to be told we would be rung by the Noel Leemings Whangarei delivery service with a delivery date . No calls by the Whangarei people until Thursday the 11th. when they advised that they would be making delivery on Friday the 12th. between 11.30 and 12.30 . Truck arrived at 11.00 and I immediately unpacked the dryer only to find that is was damaged on one side . Took photos of the damage and drove to the store to report that the Dryer was damaged . Another dryer will be delivered and the damaged one picked up . Very sorry but because there was no stock of that dryer available and delivery will be at least 2 weeks away .
We have been loyal customers of Noel Leeming for a number of years .
This will be the last time we will be purchasing anything from them

Bad Experience - avoid them if you can

Bad experience. Bought a $2000 TV on Thursday at westgate and thought it might be there by Saturday having only need to come 30 minutes from Wiri.... still not there the following Thursday. Should have bought from Costco which was about $5 more but I could get it immediately

They must be broke

Beware and read the reviews for this company! This has been the worst experience. Over 1.5months to get a dryer repaired and 16 staff members 9 emails and over 7 phone calls all to be told to contact the repair agent or laughed at for asking for a refund when the product could not be repaired in a timely manner. During this experience I have been told I did not have a warranty by a customer care team leader, to deal with the repair agent directly, that 6 to 8 weeks is a normal timeframe awaiting parts and perfectly legal, laughed at in store, 1 week waiting for a complaint to be acknowledged by the management team, no way of raising a formal complaint through their website. This all appears to be actions to avoid their responsibilities under the consumer guarantees act.
I also confirmed there is no person who can authorize a refund in store on the weekend in Hamilton. In short they will take your money but good luck getting it back. We feel we have no choice but to progress with legal action just to hold this company responsible for their behaviour.

I will never use Noel Leeming again

I will never use Noel Leeming again. Brought a pH was unsure about it but paid $1100 and a damage warranty. Had problems from day one pH was sent back 3x 3 being a spot on the screen. I was so pissed I had to pay $100 claim on damage. The damage wouldn't have occurred if they didn't remove the screen protector. They contacted me to say it's UpTo Samsung I was so irritated with Noel Leeming I said dump it. I then get a call from the Samsung service department saying it's fixed. So I thought mmmm and asked for it back but they tell me they dumped it. ( Hey I did ask but I was really pissed off) they should of asked me to collect it. I then asked if it's been dumped or onsold which I get no reply. I'm totally over Noel Leeming which I've dealt with for 20 years with no issues. Never again.

Awful

Awful, no idea of their obligations under consumer legislation - taking them to the disputes tribunal.

I bought a modem from N.L

I bought a modem from N.L. Dn store. Needed technical assistance to connect to internet provider. The person I talked to, and sorry I can't remember name, had the patience to talk me through the process even though I took ages to get it right. Success after an hours phone call (3.20-4.26 pm). Many thanks.

If I could give no stars I would

If I could give no stars I would! This company has appalling service. I have been waiting over 5 weeks for my delivery! The problem is we are no longer living in a society where free market competition regulates quality and service and consumer watchdogs have been castrated. If you dig into google you can find out who owns Noel Leeming and most other companies, ultimately you will find the name ‘Vanguard’, and other corporations such as Blackrock and State Street which eerily all have connections to one another, this is the reason why appalling wait times, shoddy service and lack of commitment by stores like this can flourish because they no longer have any competition or regulation, they only exist to make a profit for their ‘stakeholders’. I doubt that repeat customers even figure into their profit equation.
Bad reviews ultimately mean nothing to these people because they can dictate to to you on what, how and when to buy since they run every aspect of the processing chain from mining to delivery. The consumer is just the mailable idiot at the end of the process who is easily manipulated into parting with their hard earned cash. The only way to get out of this nightmare is to support NZ made independent stores who have somehow fallen through the talons of these creepy monopolies and still have ethical business practices.

Bad Service

I paid for a 3yr product protection plan on a Samsung watch at the Paraparaumu store.
Now faulty they have had it 2 weeks and still not arrived at Samsung service.
They do not want to know or return calls or emails, Could be away for weeks to get fixed if fixable.
Not good enough when they should refund as we paid for the extra cover.
Will not buy from Noel Leaming again.

Purchased a washing machine online…

Purchased a washing machine online after my one broke down, it was over 10 years old. Spoke to local store that had in stock and was told delivery could be arranged in 5 days. That was just over 3 weeks ago. Turns out NL didn’t have stock and and after following up with the call centre I’m now made to feel like I’m the problem because they can’t tell me where my washer is or when it may be delivered.
Be careful, NL will take your money and then act like a passive aggressive child. Management don’t care and corporate office is not interested in helping customers… meanwhile I just need to wash some clothes.
