HI, I am wanting to purchase a Breville appliance for my husband for Christmas this year and have been researching. I phoned Appliances online and was told they would price match. Hooray! They then offered me a further 15% off, (which was great). I enquired about the returns policy.. I was speaking with a guy, he told me he didn't know and I would need to phone back on the following workday. I did this and was rudely spoken too over the phone. I was told that even though I am buying this item for Christmas (which means he wouldn't get it until the 25th Dec) he would only have 7 days to return it from the date I purchased it. The customer service was terrible.. No discussion, no acknowledgement of how this wouldn't work because its a gift. I am so disappointed. Up until now I have been a loyal Appliances onlne customer and have always recommended them to family and friends. I know there have been many people who have used them.

They do not honour warranties. Deny they received your registration for warranty. Refuse to honour Consumer Protection Warranty which is automatic for a 2yo dishwasher from Esatto. Forget buying from them. They are a gigantic pain and send daily harrassing emails that blame the customer rather than take responsibility for their product failing.

Order number: SI07666354 Booked a specific day for delivery, arranged a work from home at 3PM received an email that the driver is 30mins away at 4:45PM still no one showed up, and no missed call nor intercom buzzed called them, be told that the driver got my mobile number wrong, but still not an excuse not to ring my intercom, I was then told to wait for 10mins and the driver is coming back. waited half an hour outside, no one showed up, called again and was told the driver has finished for the day then before I finished, the call got hung up and no call back nor follow up email for the situation I sent a long email, got no reply (up until today) The next day, got an email of missed delivery attempt, I was not at home but my family was at home no intercom buzzed, no missed call on my mobile no one reply yet to my previous email I emailed again, replied that a specific delivery can be arranged, I replied yes, no answer until 5PM then I called again, to be told that it will come the next day between 8-10am and a confirmation email will arrive in an hour or 2 later at 7PM still no confirmation email, sent a chat request and be told the warehouse has closed and can't confirm but should get a confirmation in the morning (up until I am writing this email, I am the one who always chase up, never received a follow up) The next day in the morning, tried to call, put my number in the queue for a call back, then got a 1 sec call that I couldn't even answer and hung up straight away Sent a chat, being told the system is down and can't track my order and the status is unknown Asked to be escalated to management but only told that it is passed to Customer Experience team wasted a lot of my time and effort not worth buying from them even if it's a bit cheaper This is also the 2nd issue, the previous order right before this also had delivery issue with the same no communication that the delivery date has been changed, except it was quicker to resolved and the driver buzzed my unit the next day. 2 similar problems happened to me in 1 month.

The rudest behaviour I’ve ever seen I had a dryer delivered to my address, and I had a mask on, because my body was weak and didn’t want to risk getting Covid especially given I’m asthmatic. From moment I opened the door, delivery person showed the rudest behaviour and asked why I had a mask on, I said I didn’t have Covid, just trying to be careful. Later I asked would you please move the washer with your wheel a few centimetres first so the laundry door closes, he denied, I asked if I could use the wheel he was again rude. He wouldn’t bring the dryer in he said I had to unpack it outside. The whole interaction was very rude. I don’t care what you think of Covid measures during the pandemic, wearing a mask doesn’t mean you have any right to be rude, I’ll wear it whenever I want for whatever reason. So get your act together.

On 6/8/24 I ordered an 85-inch Samsung QLED TV from Appliances Online and requested delivery for 4/9/24. The TV was delivered and placed in the TV room where it remained unopened until it was unboxed on 13/9/24 mounted on the wall and switched on. Unfortunately the TV had been delivered damaged and not fit for purpose. I immediately telephoned Appliances Online to report the major failure. I was asked if the TV was installed by Appliances Online and when I replied no, I was told that because it was not installed by them, they would refer my complaint to the manufacturer. This is contrary to Australian Consumer Law, and the stated return policy of Appliances Online. I was not provided with any help from them. Three days later I contacted Appliances Online again, this time by email restating the TV was not fit for purpose, and I wanted a replacement. I did not receive a response to that email until 17/9/24, by which time I had arranged through ongoing communication with Samsung for a Samsung authorised repair technician to assess the TV. When I finally received a response to my email from Appliances Online (17/9/24) they simply confirmed they had been advised by Samsung that Samsung was arranging for the TV to be assessed. Appliances Online Customer Support did say that once the TV has been assessed they will be able to determine the appropriate remedy. The TV was assessed on 23/9/24 by two Samsung authorised technicians. I was told by the technician the damage to the TV was internal; there is no indication of any external impact on the edges or screen; and no chip marks on glass screen. The TV was checked for length of time it has been switched on, that time is recorded as zero hours. The technician told me in his opinion the TV likely fell over while still boxed; and this could have happened either in the warehouse, or during transit. He said he would submit his report to Samsung, and I should hear from them within a couple of days. On 27/9/24 I received an email from Samsung advising “…the damage is considered to have occurred upon delivery. Appliance Online, the retailer from whom you purchased the television, should be fully liable for this. They may consider that the TV was damaged in their warehouse before delivery or during delivery. Please contact them to seek a remedy for your unit.” On 27/9/24 I emailed a letter of demand to Appliances Online for a replacement TV. On 1/10/24 I received a reply from their Customer Support requiring I send them a copy of the technician’s report, which is held by Samsung, together with the correspondence between myself and Samsung before they will advance my complaint. I have now referred my complaint to the Office of Fair Trading. My experience has taught me that Appliances Online do not provide 24/7 help as their website states. They have not met their warranty obligations in respect to Australian Consumer Law and they have not followed their own policy in respect to returns. I do not recommend Appliances Online. Their prices can be matched by most other retailers, and the lure of free delivery is simply not worth the fight for your consumer rights when they deliver a product that is not fit for its specific purpose.

Your service is none existing, 2 x items are missing parts. No urgency to rectify or help. Never again will I use your service. And I will let everyone know.

I purchased a new dryer in April. $600 There was poor communication regarding delivery. I stayed at home two days when I was told.it would arrive and NOTHING. Contacted them and received no response. When it arrived I had come he.from.work and needed to get back ASAP as I had left disabled kids without support so could not have it installed. I arranged for my builder brother who has installed many laundries to put it in. It made a rotten noise so I got him to put it in the garage and reported to Appliances online. . They passed me.to someone else and here we are 4 months later . If I'd purchased from Good Guys or Harvey Norman..or any white goods store I would be able to take it back exchange with out a headache...but not Appliances online. They get the manufacturer to repair it. Well here I am 4 months later and still have to run the dryer in the garage due to noise! Essato will be my next review. . But if I'd not bought from Appliances Online. I wouldn't be making ANY review. I purchased a TV that had a sound issue last week. Took it back to Good Guys, no questions asked , replaced the TV!! It cost more than this dryer! I have experienced serious emotional challenges in this time. I don't have it in me to argue. I should have made a claim ages ago. I will through consumer services. You DONT buy brand new items to be messed around with inspections and repairs!! Appliances Online are the ones who took my money so should be their responsibility. Update. Contacted by Appliances Online they claim they need to make sure its not my fault..as if I could break a dryer I just received in one use. I had a problem with a TV at twice the price from Good Guys. They don't ask if you broke it!! They exchanged it without causing me grief or stress because customer service is their priority. Appliances online have ignored messages and passed the buck. At the end of the day they are the ones who took my money and it is their responsibility! I hope this review helps others to spend that little bit more to buy from a store!

We purchased a washing machine, but had to go back due to being faulty, paid extra for a better quality one. When it arrived the 2 delivery guys swapped over the 2, but also had to move out our small freezer due to the power being behind the small freezer. When they did this they knocked out the electric plug to our freezer, we weren't aware of this until several days later when we opened the freezer door, the drawers were full of water and the meat was defrosted, and could not be safely eaten. I contacted appliances online 8 times over 6 weeks, got the run around. In the end they refused to accept what had happened and refused to pay the $180 for the damaged butcher purchased top quality meat, even though we had the receipt for the meat and photos. We were regular customers of appliances online, spending a few thousands on all new white goods, but will not be buying from them anymore. Buyers beware they pass the buck and won't accept responsibility for their mistakes

We got a washing machine installed, guy never brought any tools or spanner’s to tighten the water pipe, so leaking everywhere after the man’s left. He text me asking to turn the tap off and never returned. Told me I should go to Bunnings to get plumber tape. Spoke to a plumber and he’s told me he’s installed it a hot water pipe and not the cold like it should be Joke of a customer service!

Like some other reviews here, after many years of buying products from AOL, now the first time we ask for support for a defective BBQ, we are endlessly buck-passed and avoided. Again this would appear contrary to Australian consumer law and although we asked for a refund, we got nowhere, instead being deflected to the wholesaler & who aslo has done litttle. Buyer beware. AOL's 'customer support' is completely worthless in our experience.

Ordered a fridge. The first one came dented so they said they would send another one the following tuesday. The delivery driver walked up the stairs and said it wouldn't be a problem getting it up. The following week the delivery driver said he would have to organise a 4 man team to bring it up. So delayed another two days. Had to take 3 days off work - no compensation or offer of a discount or voucher. Just glad my old fridge hadn't completely broken down. Just disappointing all round.

What a total scam this lot are - order a fridge with a 6 week lead time due to it being shipped from manufacturing location. 2 days prior to agreed delivery date get a call saying no longer manufactured and I can buy a different brand stocked locally. You reckon they find out 2 days before delivery its not coming.

UNBELIEVABLE and i have been an extremely loyal customer that has been raving about how great they are for years- this time, there was something extra that needed to be done. Have called, emailed, written on their main website. We have had NO contact from them whatsoever, no washing machine and clearly no interest in follow up. Beyond poor service and bitterly disappointed by the experience as they have been so wonderful in the past

Disgraceful from start and, still going. I've waited over two months for delivery. Online chat and call centre useless. Every person you speak/chat with gives you different answers. Very disappointed and certainly don't put customers first. (customers keep you in a job! You seem to forget that) l don't recommend Appliances Online. I'd rather pay more at one of the many competitor's stores than buy from here again. You assured me item has been posted..aussie post has no record item has been posted. First pic, answer from appliances online. Second pic, answer from Aussie post.

We purchased a series 6 BOSCH Dishwasher from AOL in OCT 2021. I would NOT recommend this unit or other BOSCH UNITS. Here are the issues...... 1 - The logo and lettering keep coming off, we are very carful when we clean the door however over time the letters come off. BOSCH have replaced the door twice and now that it is out of warranty they don't want to know about it, the unit is no good. 2 - E15 Error - the unit can not not be used, it has flooded somehow the day before Christmas. Again, not a good unit. 3 - On / Off button does not work sometimes. 4 - Now that we are out of warranty, we have to use the AOL extended warranty, third party company and non Bosch service company.....

Absolute appalling after sales customer service, bought a TV, fitted it to the letter of the instructions, eventually plugged it in, half the screen doesn’t work!!! Appliance online palm me off to the manufacturer TCL who asked me why I hung the TV….what???? They say it’s not their problem!! It’s obviously been done in transit but appliance online have been shocking to deal with, all I want is my TV to work……,$1800 spent and nothing to show for it!! This has been going on for a month…..do not purchase from them, the back up is disgraceful….

Very disappointed. Bought and organised delivery of an appliance with a weeks notice. Was waiting until 11am day of delivery only to be called and told the warehouse had not loaded. And then it would take another two days. Not good enough
