I am writing this review/complaint to express my deep disappointment and frustration with my recent experience at Appliances Online. On November 17th, I contacted the company to purchase a fridge, and I was assisted by customer support representative Estella Graham. Initially, Estella was helpful in negotiating the price of the fridge as per my request. I specifically mentioned that I wanted to use PayPal to divide the payment into four installments, and I also emphasized that the fridge needed to be delivered by the end of December. However, while I was on the phone with Estella, she unexpectedly asked for my credit card information. Unfortunately, as soon as I finished providing my credit card number, I received a notification from my bank indicating that I had been charged over $1500 in one go. This immediate charge caught me off guard, and I promptly informed Estella about the issue. She apologized and offered a $100 discount as a gesture of apology. I then requested her to send me an email explaining the situation, assuring me that I would receive a refund and that the payment would be rectified with installment payments. Despite being understanding of mistakes, I was concerned about the large charge and wanted to ensure the situation was resolved. After three days had passed, I still hadn't received any refund. In an attempt to reach out and seek clarification, I sent Estella three emails. On November 21st, I called her again, but she apologized for not having the time to respond to my emails. She assured me that my money had been processed for refund a few days ago and would take up to three days to be returned to my credit card. Trusting her words, I patiently waited for the refund to come through. On November 28th, as I still hadn't received any refund, I emailed Estella again. Unfortunately, she didn't reply, so I called her, requesting a call back after 1 pm. Much to my disappointment, she never called me back. When I tried to reach her directly, she did not answer. Consequently, I decided to contact the customer support line and requested to speak with a manager or supervisor. To my dismay, Sasha Pobereznic, the manager/supervisor, answered my call but displayed a complete lack of empathy or apology. In fact, he was sarcastic and aggressive during our conversation, until I expressed my dissatisfaction with his conduct. During this phone call, I discovered that despite my earlier conversations with Estella, Appliances Online had mistakenly delivered the fridge to my future house in WA, while I reside in NSW. This mix-up caused a significant inconvenience as I had to track down and inform the individual residing there about the delivery error. I proposed to Sasha that they leave the fridge at the property as at the end of the day I will be moving there until my refund was processed, at which point they could arrange payment via PayPal. Considering the circumstances and the mistreatment I had already endured, I also asked for an additional discount. However, Sasha rudely dismissed my request and insisted on collecting the fridge before refunding my money, claiming it would take a maximum of 2 to 3 days. Today, December 4th, I am still awaiting my refund. Appliances Online has collected the fridge from my future address I. WA, but I have yet to receive any reimbursement. Yesterday, on December 3rd, I emailed Sasha once again to seek clarification, and he assured me that I would receive my money by the end of the day. Unfortunately, no refund has materialized. The distress and financial impact caused by this ongoing issue are difficult to put into words. At this point, I cannot recommend anyone to make a purchase from Appliances online at ALL! Kind regards Andre V.

This company USED to have good prices and excellent service, but no more... I spoke to the salesperson on the phone on Monday to price match. I was told they can't do next day delivery but Wednesday is fine. My order was processed and payment made. Wednesday morning, a bit suspicious that I didn't get my usual sms from their dispatch around 6am with delivery timeframe, I follow up with the phone call, to be told that delivery should be happening A MONTH from now as not all of the items are in stock. They were surprised that I was promised this delivery in the first place as it is quite evident that those items are on backorder. I have cancelled my order and hope there won't be any issues with the refund.

I ordered a vacuum and unfortunately missed the delivery for it. I called up to reorganise the delivery and was told that I can rebook it for the following Saturday and change the address and he said this was fine and that he rebooked it. The Saturday it was supposed to be delivered it wasn't so I called again and asked what had happened. The girl (who was amazingly helpful) said that there was never any changes made or anything booked in from my last phone call and that there was actually a cost for Saturday delivery. I was happy to pay this cost, despite being told it was already booked in last time. This was processed to be delivered the next Saturday. On the Thursday before delivery, I missed a call and received a text saying there was a delay to my order and to call back. I called back and was told that there were no notes on my file and that my delivery was still scheduled for that Saturday. The Saturday came and no delivery, so I called up for a refund because I couldn't wait 3 weeks for a vacuum and was told my refund would be processed. 4 days after this I got an email saying my vacuum would be delivered on the Saturday. On the Saturday morning I got a text saying a delivery window so I called up and said I hadn't received my refund and that vacuum was still coming, the girl processed the refund for me (which finally actually happened) and then said she called the delivery person to make sure the vacuum wouldn't be delivered. The vacuum still was attempted to be delivered. I have never bought off a company that got so many things wrong at every step of the way.

Avoid at all costs. 2023, ordered a stove online. 2 days before expected delivery called to say they are out if stock. Will be another month. I emailed back 2 weeks later, they still didn't have stock couldn't tell me when it'll be in. 3 emails over 2 week and they wouldn't reply. I called now 5 weeks after the order, still didn't have stock and will be another month. Horrible customer service horrible experience. I've now been 6 weeks without a cook top, and only now are going to refund my order. Avoid this company

Absolutely horrible. Home at arranged delivery time, no delivery. Customer service was an experience. Caught them out lying, moved onto “supervisor”, Told to that they could not redeliver until l provided my mobile number. Asked why they required my private mobile number. Crickets…….. cancelled order and requested refund. Not worth the hassle.

When I say I work from home on a Monday and you say pick up of wrong order is a Monday - I expect you to arrive on a MONDAY the one we arranged- not me ring at 1pm on the pre arranged MONDAY and be told that’s organised for TUESDAY- LEARN HOW TO READ A CALENDAR FFS.

Had a quote for Winnings, the installers for Appliancesonline, to install my new oven. Got my own quote which is less than half the Winnings quote. Shocked by this blatant rip-off

Always been good previously, however this time they are useless. They did not take our old washing machine away, stating there was no room even though they took the new one out of the truck, they proceeded to place the old unit out the front saying that SOMEONE will picket up in 2 days. guess what after numerous phone calls, it is still there. Do not think you a doing right by the drivers/deliverers by allowing them not to take it away straight away. You will never come back

The installation wasn't done properly, the installer had a very short time for the testing so it caused a few problems and delays. Second a previous home address was used from 7 years ago which was stressful and delayed my problems with my delivery. I'm not fully impressed with this outcome this time dealing with Applances online

Appliances Online 1/ I bought an item and at checkout they automatically added $80 for "2 Year Replacement Plan For Home". Apparently I had to opt out rather then the normal business practise of checking a box to opt-in. 2/ The item wouldn't fit in the allocated space in the kitchen. The item was still in its plastic wrapper but the box had been opened. They asked me to take a photo of it and send it to them. They then told me the box had been opened and I would be charged an extra $80. 3/ The correct item did arrive the next day but late at night long after the scheduled delivery time.

I have ordered from them twice now- the first was a SMEG freestanding oven and range (cost over $6k) at the time during COVID and the range was damaged once opened to be installed but the team rectified this ASAP with a replacement. Today I have been delivered a dishwasher Bosch brand (cost $1800 with additional warranty support) that states on my receipt connection AND removal of the old dishwasher if disconnected. We disconnected the existing one and cleared the cupboard under the sink in preparation for the new one. The delivery guy arrives and says here to drop off (not install) but will take away the old dishwasher if disconnected - says "Looks like it is still connected" and says to call the company once disconnected and leave it on the edge of the street for connection of be home for us to pick up. So I explain this to my husband who did the disconnection and he gets cross as he did what was required. As we are unpacking our dishwasher I open the door and see water spots staining on the inside of the door and base of the machine and note the moldy and mildewy smell emanating from it. I call the customer care line and am told it is normal. Says it's part of the testing by Bosch and they don't air them out very long. Says I have been fortunate in that my dishwasher was tested and I should be happy then further that no dishwasher can be installed unless by a licensed plumber at a cost of $205.00 fee. Otherwise, we void our warranty. I said well that wasn't explained to us otherwise we would have arranged for a plumber to attend and not have a stinky dishwasher in the middle of my kitchen not connected to anything.

Poor customer service when it comes to faulty goods. Customer service is not at the forefront of their priorities. They take no accountability for any issues with stock from their warehouse. Wouldn’t touch them again.

Service was absolutely appalling. In the end I got my order refunded after waiting around for 2 days and they couldn’t even deliver. No one knocked on the door, they just left, called multiple times and finally got someone to rebook the next day. No email came with delivery time. I had to call twice. Promises of calling back. No one did. Finally I called to be told it wasn’t coming. WORST SERVICE. Go elsewhere.

Ordered my appliance, given delivery date and promised a phone call for delivery time. All good so far. Delivery date came and went, no phone call. Rang their customer support line, left details for call back without loosing place in line. Guess what! No return call. No delivery. No service or support. Have used them before and recommended to others. Not any more, they are only in for the money, my money with no goods delivered. Maybe it will show up before my up comming long and protracted argument to get my money back from these greedy people.

Unbelievably inept and the worst customer service ever. I ordered a stove that was in stock, waited all day for delivery, not to hear anything from them. I called and they advised that the stove was missing. The next day, I was told that the stove was infact damaged and they couldn't deliver. Refund processed. The next day I ordered a different stove from them, 5 in stock according to their site. Received confirmation of delivery the night before. On the day of delivery, a phone call early in the morning advising that the stock was damaged and it wouldn't be delivered. When I asked the caller "are you serious" he laughed and said yes!!! will never buy from them again and don't recommend them at all.

Shocked and Appalled. I ordered a refrigerator online. It said that there were 'only 5 left' when I bought it, but the order went through. I purchased it on a Thursday, for delivery on Monday. The fridge I was using was taken back to its owner. Long story short, it wasn't until Tuesday lunchtime that I eventually found out that Appliances Online doesn't even have the refrigerator that I ordered! And on Wednesday, it was confirmed, with just a refund of my money. Nothing to compensate for all the mistakes made by Appliances Online. So now I have no fridge for who knows how long with no compensation! If I had known they didn't have it, I could have arranged to keep the temporary one! Or if they had told me on Monday, but to leave it for me to ring them for 2 days in a row! Shocked and appalled.
