Online orders cancelled due to…

Online orders cancelled due to verification fail.

Online query has not been answered after 3 days.

Phone help creates a ticket, then I get a generic email response about the type of problem I have which is of no help toward rectifying the issue.

Terrible Customer Service – No Response to Complaint

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with The Good Guys. I submitted a formal complaint over three weeks ago and followed up almost two weeks ago, yet I have received no response at all. The lack of communication is unacceptable, and their customer service is clearly inadequate. I will neither use nor recommend them in the future and cannot rely on them for support or account management.

I paid extra $85 for 'special delivery' which promised to do the installation and take the old washing machine but they left it here (still uncollected a week later) and scratched my floor tiles in the process. Do not waste your money and patience on their 'special deliveries'.

Also, it is impossible to raise the complaint with anyone. They do not answer emails at all and phones seem to be open only for taking new orders, on Saturdays.

Absolutely useless

Absolutely useless! Paid for premium delivery and installation- but 2 weeks later am still being told the item needs to be picked up. My sales docket states the item will be picked up and delivered by the installer. 10 phone calls later- it's a complete debacle. The customer service team have no idea- you'll be transferred from department to department- hung up on- told 'I'm sorry you've had that experience' but no one is capable of resolving anything. Save yourself the stress and call Appliances Online instead!

Avoid Good Guys Delivery

I purchased a Fisher and Paykel oven and had to wait several weeks for delivery. When I made the purchase, I specifically told Steve, the salesman, that I lived on the third floor, and he assured me it wouldn’t be a problem. However, when the delivery finally arrived, two delivery men refused to bring the oven up the stairs and insisted on leaving it at the front door.

I asked them to have their manager call me, and when she did, she claimed that they needed two people to carry the oven upstairs. I pointed out that there were two men standing right there, but she insisted that there wasn’t. Despite telling her that I was currently with the two delivery guys, she said I would need to reschedule the delivery.

I explained that I had taken time off work to be there and had even arranged for an electrician, which I had to cancel due to this mess. When I called the Good Guys Auburn for assistance, Steve was unavailable and too busy to help.

The whole experience was incredibly frustrating and poorly handled. I’d recommend going somewhere else

Useless

Useless. Avoid at all costs. Online order still not delivered after a month. They won't pick up the phone when i'm trying to find out why my order for a microwave is taking so long to be delivered. Zero customer service. Better off going to Harvey Norman, who are hardly normal, but leave these cretins in the gutter where they belong. Avoid , avoid avoid. I would give it zero stars if I could.

If I could give negative stars

If I could give negative stars, I would.

Buying a washing machine and dryer from Good Guys Artarmon turned into one of the worst customer experiences we've ever had. What started as a simple in-store enquiry became a multi-day ordeal filled with broken promises, rude staff, and shocking service.

We visited the store near closing time and were advised by Christian to call the next day to place the order, rather than buy online, because “support would be easier.” That turned out to be just a sales tactic — the nightmare began right after the purchase.

The order was placed smoothly and delivery was scheduled for Sunday, March 21st. Despite us clearly explaining that our building has no loading dock or guest parking and that off-street parking would be required, the delivery driver Rami arrived in a large truck, made no effort to find parking, and refused to stop in a common delivery spot used by tradespeople (yes, marked as "no parking", but regularly used). They didn’t even get out of the truck — they just asked us to figure out parking, telling us to “reserve two spaces” and even suggested we “use our own car” or “ask neighbours” to hold a spot. Then they left.

We called the store and spoke to Chaithra, who was unhelpful and unapologetic. We escalated to the store manager Ryan, who said he could arrange a “complex delivery” with 3 staff. We agreed — but also asked to raise a complaint about the delivery experience. Ryan insisted the driver was not unreasonable and at one point hung up on us when we pushed back. After calling again, he reluctantly agreed to file a complaint and said we’d get a confirmation call within 2 hours and a delivery text that night. None of that happened.

Monday: We followed up multiple times. Shikha said she emailed the delivery team and would call us back — never did. Christian told us to wait “another 2 hours,” then another hour, and eventually nothing came through. George promised Ryan or Christian would call us back. No one did.

Tuesday: We called again. Ryan was “in a meeting.” Another staff member transferred us to admin, who could not give any update either. After being told again that delivery would only happen if parking was available, we gave up and requested a full refund — we didn’t want another day of uncertainty. They said it would be processed in 30 minutes. Of course, it wasn’t.

We called back again and spoke to Chaithra, who told us she hadn’t done it yet because she was “too busy answering phones.” We offered to stay on the line while she processed it — she refused. Two hours later, still nothing. Called again, and she claimed it was already processed — but we’d received no confirmation. She then went completely silent on the phone for 3 minutes before a text finally came through with a refund receipt. No apology. No professionalism. We eventually had to hang up because no one was responding.

We were passed around like a ping-pong ball between staff who didn’t care, couldn’t help, or just didn’t want to. The lack of responsibility was appalling. We were made to feel like we were the problem. At no point did anyone take ownership or show any real intention of resolving the issue.

Being told not to order online because calling the store would be “easier” was clearly just a way to close the sale and earn commission. Once the sale was made, they couldn’t care less.

Save yourself the stress. We’ll never shop at Good Guys Artarmon again and would strongly recommend you don’t either. Literally any other retailer would be better.

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE CANT DELIVER EVEN WNEN A TEXT IS SENT TO CONFIRM DELIVERY

I am having such a lot of issues and difficulty with dealing with Good Guys. I bought washing machine online and it was out of stock I was told. Waited almost 2 months. Suppose to be delivered today - there is no driver. I was sent a text message that it will be delivered today. I am so frustrated at the moment. I will never purchase anything from this company Good Guys ever - very bad customer service

Processed order for a Fridge Freezer no…

Processed order for a Fridge Freezer no longer available!

We ordered online on June 30, 2025. Order number was S1211404553. Kept getting SMS and email messages saying the order has been delayed.

Eventually, I got a call then emails from a staff member called Inas M. (not mentioning full surname for privacy).

She informed me the Fridge/Freezer combo was no longer being made and offered us a couple of alternative brands. These were not suitable, so we asked for the order to be cancelled and refunded. She said this had been done and to allow up to 5 days for the refund to take place.

We waited. We waited more. We waited even longer.

I then did 3 email followups to Inas M and was completely ignored!

Finally today (September 18th, 2025) I called them. They person on the phone told me that my order was NOT cancelled. He has fixed that now, but this will be the last time we ever shop with this business. Never again. Not in store or online. Worst experience we have had in a very long time.

customer portal + customer service... rubbish.

Bought a dishwasher from them for a tenant... thus billing detials and delivery details are different... where can we start...
1. I ordered online, however couldn't see it in my purchase history. Apparantly - i had entered the tenants number into my mobile and the order is thus only visible to that mobile?
Firstly mixing up a stranger's mobile with your mobile is a very low chance dont you think?
1b. on the delivery details... apparantly i put my name in there also! When you dont want to tenants to see your name or details, then ring up goodguys to confirm that no invoice slip is sent with the delivery... yet somehow i mixed up delivery name and billing name as well? hmm....
2. Delivery processes - cannot even leave it with the building manager in a secure lobby. must be signed and brought into the delivery - no exceptions. Honestly....
3. Installation - installation date is not the same as the delivery - it means the installer doesn't do the pick up and thus must install on separate days. ie. at least 1 day afterwards.... lesson learnt.
4. The installers had my name (instead of tenant) however the tenants mobile to confirm the installation time... really?
5. Installers confirmed with tenants 1-day before hand. Why couldnt this be confirmed much before hand? yes - delivery dates may change but seriously???
6. Speaking to the online help... advised them of the issues. Basically couldn't care less... likely heard these types of complaints before. Nor did care about fixing their own systems..

oinline store promised items at good price and immediate delivery - FAIL

Wanted 2 electric blankets ASAP. Found 2 I was after at the Good Guys at a good price and available for immediate delivery. Ordered the items. Paid the money. Entered the correct delivery address which was to an Aust Post Parcel Locker. The Good Guys Marsden Park dispatched the order with half the address missing from the consignment. This was confirmed through the Aust Post tracking information, with the advice that the consignment would be returned to sender. Four (4) working days after the Aust Post advice of the item being turned around to the sender (Good Guys) I contact the Good Guys via their online chat-bot (the only option for online orders)..... describe what has transpired... get through to an apparent human who then tells me that The Good Guys dont deliver to parcel post lockers (this was never stated anywhere on the orders area, and they accepted the address I had entered). No comment from them about why half the address was left off the delivery docket when the items were actually mailed out! They also confirmed that I just had to "sit tight" and wait until the order was re-processed in store before I could cancel the order. So yeah they might be happy to offer you a good price and indicate quick delivery times, but if you actually want the item immediately (as they promise), dont be holding your breath. And just be prepared to pay out the money and then have to wait a week or 2 (from the actual order date) before they will then process a refund. *sigh* (first world problem)

DO NOT PURCHASE GOLD SERVICE EXTRA

Bought a laptop (all in good faith) and accepted the added Good Guys $139.00 for 3 years Gold Service Extra (hahahahah). Before I go on - DO NOT WHAT-SO-EVER purchase Gold Service Extra. Refuse it. There is no extra and nothing that reflects 'Gold Service'. Best advice I could give would be to walk away. Repair of my laptop would be 4-6 weeks. Who can ever go without their laptop for 4-6 weeks?? I use mine for work??? Blank response and nothing resolved from emails and phone calls. Took laptop to local repairer who stated he would NEVER buy a computer from Good Guys. Currently I have a report with the ACCC. Once again do not accept Gold Service - it does not exist.

I will never buy from them again

I will never buy from The Good Guys again. I bought about $6k of kitchen appliances for a new kitchen. On 4 separate days this week they have sent us confirmations and times slots for delivery and then they have just not turned up. They don't contact us, we have to chase them up. They don't seem to have any reason for why the deliveries were not made. When we ask to speak to a supervisor to help manage this ridiculous situation, we just get told that there are no supervisors to assist. Absolutely terrible service. And we still don't know when we will receive our appliances!

Truly shocking and upsetting

Truly shocking and upsetting. Ordered a click and collect back in August. Got SMS to collect, went in to store only to find it shut for renovations and some poor guy out front on a chair telling people to call the call centre. Went home, did that, long wait, hard to understand the person who answered. They arranged a delivery free due to the stuff up. 5th September, still waiting. Tried the courier to see where my parcel is. All robots, cannot speak to a person. Off to hospital so wanted this solved. Rang call centre again. This person was easier to understand but very argumentative. I wanted a refund processed and was clear about this. Lady just argued for about 15 mins telling me issue was resolved? You have my money and l have no product? Not resolved. She would not let me speak to someone like a manager who could make a better decision. Another 10 minutes on hold to be told my issue escalated like she had personally done me a favour and a refund would be processed today but not in my account for a few days. Order canceled with courier. Their problem, they chose the courier. So upsetting that this could not have been resolved at the start of the call. Thankfully call is recorded. As a senior citizen this is the worst purchasing experience l have had.

Poor customer service for delivery of my TV (55 INCH) purchased online. Delivery is appalling. The Good Guys used to provide great delivery service but nore its outsourced to Global Express - Won't be purchasing large items for delivery from The Good Guys in the future.
