with email's on the daily and sometimes more!! Newsflash to the twits running this idiocy, this is NOT customer service, smashing someone so much!! It was the same a few years back with the texts from them. Way too many and in the middle of the night waking me up!! I don't have a problem with the shop but if this invasive, intrusive crap doesn't stop I'll bail on the program and stop shopping there!!! Get some brains and moderate the invasion of privacy scheme!!!
Edisons 🏆 2026
I recently purchased a Unimac 100lt silent air compressor, it was working fine then it wouldn't kick in the pumps to get it going I had to push and… Read more
pull the on switch and the pressure swith had a fault, I emailed Edisons about the fault they were great they were very quick to reply at no time did they mess me around, I'm a relief maintenance fitter I sent them a video what it was doing and told them the fault in the pressure switch, Edison sent me a replacement switch with in a few hours I put the new unit on and it fired up no problem at all, So I highly recommend them they don't sell garbage there gear they sell you can be assured they stand by there products, as for the 100lt Unimac silent air compressor they fantastic no problem keeping up with every thing you throw at 1 of the best ones I've had and doesn't annoy your neighbours

caused). Negatives - Incorrect Garage was Delivered. No Picking Slip provided. Very Inconveniently delivered on Wrong Day. Part of my Garage (Custom Side Door) ended up at another Customers Site - Very inconveniently took days to correct. The Roof Sheeting is very narrow guage - Impossible not to bend - My Stratco Garage Roof now has a number of Foot Dings. Stratco Management have indicated they will look at what went wrong and attempt to improve - I hope so.

models sold by other suppliers, such as Bunnings. Because the Sydney Tools website did not provide a complete and accurate description of the item, I could not make an informed purchasing decision and found the advertisement misleading. Furthermore, the website indicated that the item was available at the Castle Hill store. However, Alex, the salesperson at the Castle Hill store, advised that the item was not actually in stock and would need to be ordered from the supplier, with an estimated delivery time of approximately one week. Given these discrepancies, I requested that the order be cancelled. Alex assured me that the cancellation request had been submitted and would be processed within five working days. Relying on that assurance, I proceeded to use the funds for other purchases.
I was therefore surprised to later discover that the order had not been cancelled as promised. Had I been informed that the cancellation request had not been processed, I would not have committed those funds elsewhere. As a result, I have been inconvenienced and placed in a difficult financial position due to my reasonable reliance on the information and assurances provided. I requested to purchase the Kärcher K7 Smart Control pressure washer, paying the difference. The manager at Castle Hill refused my request. So my advice to any future buyers who are not sure whether what they are buying is right for them is to buy at Bunnings, where returns are accepted.
I advised buying tools from Total Tools, where the staff is very friendly and helpful. external link . This… Read more

Timbecon state free shipping for orders over $149 excluding large bulky items. Sounds reasonable right? Well that free shipping has a maze that you… Read more
need to navigate to determine whether you actually qualify for free shipping or not. There’s a couple of rabbit holes. 1) is the stock in Melbourne or Perth. If stock in your order happens to be located in both places then no free shipping for you 2) if you happen to be located just outside a metro area (according to them) then you’ll also not get free shipping. There’s heading should read “Roll up Roll up, spin the wheel and see if you can guess if you get free shipping or not”. Compared with other suppliers this convoluted approach to free shipping is not fair and is beyond the control of the consumer. If you see something you like, I’d suggest using google to see if you can get it elsewhere actually with free shipping. Timbe-Con by name and nature.
These guys still wont give up. Had another cold call from them today despite me asking to never be contacted again. We had an extremely unpleasant dealing with this company including broken promises and deception. We wont deal with them again!

received. The Online ordering system showed all goods were in stock at point of order and payment in full made but no order processing for picking had occurred until I finally decided to initiate an enquiry 5 days after my order payment as each day I had checked my system generated account and the order was classified as “PACK”. The reply I received for despatch on 10/9/26 after my enquiry early on 10/9/26 showed no real care or concern for the forgotten order and no apology was at all offered. No invoice was sent with the order, only a picking slip. Arrogance may be existing here in this business operation. Keep aware. I will not be returning as a customer as I view the experience as contemptuous and I need better despatch reliability and less frustration than this business has delivered to myself.

We had a really difficult situation with some very old skylights. The Justrite team came up with a flexible solution and the workmanship was better than I expected to be honest. I was so grateful for their commitment to getting a good outcome for us.
Have purchased three large truck boxes from Ozy toolboox. 2x delivered to my home and 1x collection from Brendale. Super impressed with how well they have held up to trade use. Sam day collection, point of sale was easy. Thanks again team.

I would like to recognize Masooma of Bunnings Shepparton. Online/Phone order.. What a competent and pleasant professional customer service person.… Read more
After a less than poor experience at Yarrawonga form a quite snappy arrogant person, Masooma confirmed product stock efficiently orchestrated delivery and followed up exactly as she said she would by text then by a further standard Bunnings confirmation with the product arriving in the 2 days she said would likely be the case. With over 40 years customer facing and business experience I can confidently state "She epitomizes Customer service" I suggest she train all Staff what a gem
Second time I've bought from JTA with shipping to NZ. By accident they got the order wrong and were super fast in making it right without any extra cost. Very helpful and fantastic products - will buy again in a heartbeat.

tools. So given the weight of everything, sturdiness and reliability are very important. Whilst the accessories aren't cheap, their performance lives up to their price. Very happy.
Furthermore, Arthur was super helpful and responsive and went out of his way to make sure the delivery got to my place, which wasn't straight forward given it was a new build and so not listed on Google maps.
Five star business – Have been dealing with Bill for over thirty years and won’t go anywhere else. Great service and job always done on or before time. Have introduced others to them and all agree they are always trying to help their customers.

some quotes from companies. In the end after waiting for callbacks, I decided to attempt it myself. I rang around and discovered that Trade glass depot was one of the cheapest for supplies and gave me all the advice I could possibly ask for. He rejigged my plan, gave me the measurements that were necessary and with very detailed instructions, I called a couple of friends that would be able to help me as some of the glass is quite heavy. I followed the instructions to the letter and I was very surprised at how it turned out. I am very very pleased with the result and I cannot thank Phillip and the guys from trade glass of depot enough. If you take your time and don't rush it you can do a job as big as this I highly recommend this crowd they were great
