Will never shop here again

I had bought a product to be delivered in 3 days and pre ordered a product to arrive in mid January. After noticing my product did not arrive and I had not email notification about deliver, I contacted customer service. It turns out mightyape has no record of my order despite taking my money and having an order confirmation email and order number. Not sure how this can even happen if the system has issued me a unique order number.
Customer service would not re-place my order on my behalf and required me to create a new account to place a new order which also seems completely ridiculous to me since they were going to process me a refund anyway. It has taken them over a month and multiple follow-up emails to even start issuing the refund to which now, I cant even buy the original product I wanted since it is no longer available.

Ridiculous. Waste of time and I will never be shopping here again

Hi Samuel, I'm very sorry to hear about the disappointing experience you have had with us. We have checked and we haven't had any recent contacts under your name, so we've not been able to locate your support query in order to investigate further.

We would strongly encourage you to reach out via orders@mightyape.co.nz so that we can assist you further. All orders in our system are linked to the customer email address, so if you have received an order confirmation email from us, our team will be able to locate your order with ease and can assist you from there.

We hope to hear from you soon so we can understand what has happened and help set things right.

Ordered a linen blanket Thursday…

Ordered a linen blanket Thursday morning and arrived Friday morning super early! Very impressed by fast shipping and this is the 2nd linen duvet I’ve ordered from here and it’s exactly as described and i loooove the look of it on my bed, definitely worth the price. I only decided to buy this second ine due to my first one being so good and happy I ordered another one again because it’s just as good.

Hi Jye, I'm sorry to hear you haven't received a response from the seller you purchased this item from - that's incredibly disappointing to hear.

If there was something less than a star…

If there was something less than a star I would.

Ordered a book on 12 Dec 2025 which clearly said in Stock. Now I have been told there is a three week period till they receive it from the supplier and then ship it to me? Why were you not transparent about this on the website?

If I was aware of this I would have never ordered from you guys in the first place. I ordered it because it said in stock and delivered 9-13 Jan. This was a gift purchase and now you tell me if you would like a refund we can do that. No I don’t want a refund I want the product I ordered that you said was available delivery 9-13 Jan.

I really am sorry to hear of this and any stress caused. I can see that this was ordered in from our supplier once you placed the order, and your confirmation email confirms this would be delivered by 9th - 13th of January. Our items being shipped in from suppliers do not display in stock, but show that they will be shipped to you by a specific date. I really am glad to see that this has been marked as delivered with you however and has arrived

Not in stock items should be labelled as preorder

Please make it more obvious if an item is not currently in stock and will be shipped later. I placed an order at Christmas and when one item didn’t arrive I checked my order confirmation and saw the delivery said January. If the item is not currently in stock mark it as a preorder! This should be spelled out to customers! I went back and checked the listing as I never saw a delayed date anywhere, eventually found it but had to scroll much further down the screen, I had just seen the item, wanted it for a Christmas gift and added to cart without scrolling that far so not knowing the item wasn’t actually in stock yet.

The same thing has just happened to a friend of mine where they have been wondering where an order is (a birthday gift), checked their order and seen the delayed delivery date.

Most companies will have ‘preorder’ mentioned in the actual page title so it’s very clear

Lack of compassion

My son ( just turned 14 yrs ) purchased a mouse worth $119 with his birthday money .
He found that it wasn’t compatible with his gear so we contacted mighty ape nz and sent it back exactly how it arrived in pristine condition
Well because he opened it ( which you can’t tell it was boxed and bubble wrapped exactly .
They won’t refund as they have to resell I’m so disappointed by the refund team’s response THIS WAS A BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR A KID .
Lack of communication more worried about a bad review
I find your lack of compassion disgusting
As for myself and all my family we will Not be purchasing anything through might ape again 🤬

Thanks for you’re reply but no this wasn’t change of mind return
We returned it as it wasn’t compatible with my sons gear
All sorted now that we have purchased one from somewhere else and we’re happy
As I said before never again through you guys

Hi Michelle, I am sorry to hear about this and for this experience, however I can see this as a Change of Mind return which typically we cannot accept under our returns policy if these have been opened. I can see that our team provided you an exception to our Change of Mind policy and allowed a return even though the item was opened, however I really am sorry for the disappointment caused by this

Extremely disappointed that Christmas…

Extremely disappointed that Christmas presents which had a confirmed delivery date of by 23/12 when I purchased them have not even been dispatched yet as of 3pm on 23/12. It’s impossible to speak to a human about this. A bot advised my issue has been escalated then marked the issue resolved and closed the chat. Now I have to go out and spend money on alternative presents and who knows what I will be able to buy in Whangamata. I will never trust Mighty Ape again. They won’t even cancel the order and process a refund before items have been shipped. Really poor service. Don’t promise a delivery date if you can’t deliver then refuse to refund. That’s basically theft.

Thank you for your review and we're very sorry to hear that your order didn't arrive on time :( I can see that 2 of the items in your order arrived on schedule, but the final item was delayed in our warehouse. These delays are rare and we're sorry for the impact it had on your Christmas present. The item had been shipped by the time you requested a cancellation, but rest assured we are happy to provide a return at our cost for the item that arrived late. We're sorry to have let you down and hope we can make it up to you in future.

Order Marked Dispatched, Never Delivered. Refunded After Price Increase

Mighty Ape NZ wasted 16 days of my time before Christmas.
I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra on 6 December as a Christmas gift. The order was marked as shipped, but the tracking never moved beyond “shipment information received” — the item was never picked up by the courier.
After 16 days, Mighty Ape refunded the order citing a “stock shortage,” even though the same product remained in stock the entire time and is still available now at a higher price. Instead of honouring the original price for the same in-stock item, they chose to cancel and refund after weeks of delay.
This left me unable to replace a Christmas gift and shows a lack of reliability. If you need certainty for high-value purchases, use a different retailer.

Hi Nadia, we're incredibly sorry to hear about the disappointing experience here. It looks as though this item was sold to you by a third party seller on our Marketplace. We hold our sellers to a high standard and are sorry to hear you've been let down on this occasion. Our team have responded to you with more information and a case has been escalated with the seller you've purchased the item from to ensure that you receive assistance and an appropriate resolution.

Rest assured we will make sure this is resolved for you, but I understand it's been a poor experience so far and we are sorry that this seller has let you down.

Well it's the first time I have used this site, ordered 2 products, 2.5kg drinking chocolate which i received 2 days later and hair shavers mens grooming kit, partner loves this. Overall, the bulk grocery items will save us money. An the hair shavers, others would have cost us a lot more
