“I purchased a tv that was apparently on sale which was ending a few days later. When the sale ended the price of the tv was actually reduced by $240. Harvey Norman are a bunch of crooks and I will never purchase anything from there again. I hope they go under and all of the people who work there (absolutely liars) lose their jobs.”
“I bought a TCL 65 inch qled TV from Harvey Norman online the troubles started from the beginning they were posted delivered to me in Donegal but I have to go and pick it up in Sligo.
2 years and 21 days from the date I picked up the TV the screen went black they were lights on the TV no pictures and sound I contacted Harvey Norman after a lot of trouble as because it was brought online they didn't know which I had bought it from so I have to ring each one until I could find where it was actually came from.
When I got through to them they said there's nothing they can do as it's 21 days out of warranty.
I then contacted TCL customer service which I found really frustrating ready unhelpful I eventually got a reply from their customer service and they passed me on to their repair center because we 25 Euros told me to take a video and then told me the TV was unreadable.
So anybody thinking about a TCL TV I would recommend them pay the extra by eithe her Samsung or a Sony or lg anything but a TCL
So the overall experience very disappointing

“I purchased a matching outdoor patio setting and dining table in all around $6,000 I only could see the dining setting online as it wasn’t in store but lounge chairs looked great sadly I didn’t actually touch the wooden looking coffee table as the chairs I thought were most important to look at and sit in. I waited over 3 weeks for the dining setting to arrive as none were in stock I was shown it on line when it arrived I heard tin sound when assembling the table I said is that table got metal legs I then went out side to look the whole tabke was aluminium to look like timber very convincing if you didn’t touch it. But once you realised and looked hard it was cheap and nasty and not what I thought I ordered and paid for. Now that I rang and asked them to return it and give back my money no one will speak to me saying oh the boss is out out we will get back no ringing back of course I said I have a legal right to return this if I am not happy with it. So at this stage it looks like I have a fight on my hands. I have purchased he asked nearly all my furnishings from this store in gympie and niw for me to be treated like this is appalling I want my money back and for you to take away this monstrosity you call a quality setting”
“Absolute Scam bought washing machine paid 5 year warranty it looks like they have a subsidary called product care whos job is to auto decline any warranty complaints but first they send another party out to assess thats says no
If you protest there are processes with obstacles and delays to frustrate you I am a quadriplegic 7 this has been a nightmare & still on going OVER A DOOR SEAL
Dont have anything to do with them”
“Do not get your photo’s developed at Moorabbin Harvey Norman.
Don’t waste your time and money!
Very poor quality standard now. Pictures look yellow, not white and bright.
The printer they have now is terrible, but the staff will try and convince you that it is fine. Treat you like an idiot! Quite rude.
I was not impressed by their poor customer service.
I have been developing photo’s there for many, many years, so l definitely know what lm talking about with picture quality.
They have lost a loyal customer.
Afterwards, l had the pictures developed at Kmart where the photo’s were high quality and white…… not a bland yellow colour like at Harvey Norman.”
“It's end January. Christmas present ordered well I'm advance of Christmas has not arrived. Harvey Norman don't seem particularly bothered. Don't order from them!”
“Harvey Norman run scam online sales, which take money from hard working Australians but don't deliver on products ordered. Stay away! Their Fraud Review process is simply a way for them to cancel non profitable sales.”
“Very Very smooth Salesman offered many great deals on a mobile phone deal. Got the paperwork signed and not until the final settlement I realised I was coned. Be very careful these people will tell you anything to get a sale.”
“Please, please do not use them. You place the order, they charge you full amount and then cancel the order. Read other reviews, there are so many victims of these scammers.”
“Bought a TV roughly 5 months ago, it started producing purple lines through the screen. Rang Harvey Norman for the warranty and was told somebody would get back to me. 2 months went by and nobody hadn’t contacted me and so I called them. The person I spoke to was awesome and told me to come in for a replacement Tv as this was unacceptable. I knocked of work, went home and grabbed my TV and if I went to Harvey Norman. When I got there, they were nothing but rude and unhelpful just wanted me to pay more money and to top it of they did not have any TV available for me. I ended up leaving empty handed, I even had to go back inside to ask them for my TV that I had bought in to have replaced. The manager bought the TV out to the car for me, I not only have a TV with purple lines through it during any screen time it now also has this little crack/scratch looking part on the top of my screen. Will never purchase anything from you guys again. Bad service and does not stand up to the requirements of the warranty. I rang the head office and they said they will find out what’s happening and it’s now been a week and I still haven’t heard anything from you guys. Bad communication and service all round.”
“I had my mum buy a USB-C to headphone jack cable. Gave her a screenshot on ebay selling for $2 with details.
She calls me and says the guy gave her a $20 and its by apple.
I come back with a lightning cable to headphone jack and its another brand but it's compatible for apple. Something is not right.
1. wrong cable
2. wrong brand”
“Bought a sofa for over 5k. Within a week the recliner sqeaked. I had the entire mechanics replaced under warranty. When it was replaced, I sat on it and the new one immediately sqeaked. The repair man from HN said it was normal. A few months on, the 5k recliner sofa is now mostly used as a regular couch because of this problem. Clearly they believe this is normal.”
“Bought jbl sound bar and remote reciever stopped working around after 3 weeks.i Went there and they told to fix it and keep it for warranty repair. They didn't tell me any thing how long it will take. When you go to buy they treat very good but if you have some problem thay ignore you. They should replace as the product is bought just 3 weeks ago.
Get back my soundbar after few weeks. Now having another problem chromecast is not working. Called the jbl , they said that it not possible to connect with the right person. I have to call again. And their timings are Mon to Fri till 5pm . They should also know that we are also working from Mon to Fri til 5pm . They should make their timings for sat and Sunday also .
Just adding more the problem in soundbar again comes after nearly 3 months and harveynorman service is more then worse don't have any words .
Just remembering the goodguys service its good . Once bought electrical kitchen appliance and gets faulty. When I went they replaced straight away.”
“If shoddy workmanship, ignoring warranties, dreadful customer service, and deny, deny, deny is what you're after head straight to the Flooring Department at Harvey Norman Moorabbin!”
“Worst customer service ever seen in my life, very bad experience from Nunawading store tiling department. The sales personnel showed passionate when wants to get the sales but after sales service very bad. I was asking help on the returned of the new extra tiles that purchased more but the department head Sam resist to help and showed very impatient and very impolite which shouldn’t be exist in service line. I will not go to Harvey Norman anymore.”
“Click and collect is a lie, and poorly managed . After sending a text saying I’m on my way . I’m in the car park. I send message to say I’ve arrived as instructed. The sign says sit tight . I waited 15 mins in the car park . Then went inside and all the staff avoided me . Finally I was sent to a queue . I was given not accurate instructions to go outside drive around the back to a tiny window for click snd collect. Staff all agreed the system stinks so the fault lies squarely with Management. The experience requires grit and the patience of a saint.”
“Disgusting experience. The service is just trash, I made the phone call earlier the day and was told that my product would be in stock at the warehouse, but they actually didnt. Wasted me 2 hours and I made another phone call explaining the situation and they transferred the call five times and denied it (lied) 5 times, with extremely horrible attitude. The arrival time was changed from 1 week, to 2 weeks, and then 3 weeks and now next month. I dont think the customer service team knows ANYTHING they are doing or saying. This company is just full of disgusting LIARS. I am rating one simply cuz i cant do -100.”
“I started writing this review and it turned out to be rather lengthy so instead of providing details all I will do is recommend avoid purchasing via Harvey Norman Online. If you have an issue and/or a query the only way to contact them is via their web chat, you just get their scripted standard answers, and in my case issues do not get resolved or escalated until you reach your breaking point and indicate you will take further action and contact Fair Trading.”
“Bought an online item from Harvey Norman, who unfortunately use Toll. Have made two email queries and one phone query to Toll to the delivery of my items.. According to their tracking, my item was out for delivery twice, and twice returned to their depot. At no stage did I receive any sms or email notification. Also, my home security cameras showed no attempts to deliver my item. I am at a loss to determine how I can get my good delivered.”
