4WD Supacentre

Went in to pickup some purchased batteries. All fine and good there. But like last time I bought from them several years ago... the staff still dont really know anything about what they're selling... conversation went about like: "whats the max PV voltage for that charge controller" 'its 100w mate' "no, the actual max input voltage, solar side'… Read more

'yea... 100w' "thats power mate, im asking what voltage it can take" 'oh, 12 or 24v' "Mate... for the solar side, not the battery... whats the max voltage panel it can take" 'well it'd be 100w divided by that voltage' .... This kept going a bit before he finally looked up the spec sheet. 50VDC was the answer... it took way longer than it ever should, with answers that clearly show they dont know even the basics... god help anyone without experience that they help put together a system together for. Very similar to my 1st experience some years ago, with a almost gruff 'wtf, why are you even asking, no YOU dont know what your talking about' kind of attitude to what should be trivial questions, a weird mix of frustrating and hilarious when the answers come back the way they do...

Amazing customer service from Rodney in orange store, found exactly what we were looking for straight away, provided all information required for easy installation, very friendly and professional 10/10

I think he’s name was Rodney at the orange store I went to get a few items was very helpful he spoke to me about the items cleared so many things up I was wondering so I give him 14 out of 10 he’s a gold member in my eyes Show details

I am very happy with the 4WD Super Store customer support and it's products. However, their freight supplier sucks! I had a parcel that was 3 days late and nobody could help me find exactly where the parcel was after the delays. I spoke with 4WD… Read more

Super Centre support and they advised they'd "escalate" my order asnd get nback to me in 24-48 hours. I also spoke through online chat and on the phone to Team Global Express - they couldn't tell me the address of the depot, or even the phone number, where my parcel was held up. After considerable googling, I found what was apparently the regional office, and they told me to try 2 different numbers in Tamworth. I tracked the parcel down myself and have arranged a friend to collect. The delivery process has been a debacle showing that Team Global Express are pretty hopeless at, well, delivering parcels on time and advising where my parcel is/was or where I could find it. But it all ended well. After hours of hassle chasing it down myself. Advice to 4WD Super Centre: find a new courier company because the one you have now sucks!

Disgustingly disappointing. Cool staff other than the one who placed the incorrect sized slim drawers on backorder that led to me boycotting Kings.… Read more

That's fine, people make mistakes. You ask for 1300mm and they process 900mm for some reason. The part that lost Kings a customer was when I notified customer "care" of the issue then Kings management said they wouldn't honour the deal that was on at the time...even though the error was made by the Kings staff member. Extremely poor customer service. Spending my money elsewhere from here on. Have already purchased from a competitor who was a breeze to deal with.

Customer service is that bad they will process a store credit without really asking. Hey Kings, maybe we don't wish to purchase from you any more. Should have just honoured the deal at the time that YOUR staff member made the error on, not me.

There have been 11 email's to Kings from 2/8 until now 14/8. Kings agree to refund the amount then say it'll take up to 5 days (5/8) then I receive an email stating the claim has changed from lodged to closed with the outcome being a store credit...this has happened since the start of August, over and over again then again this morning (14/8)...so again, had to contact Kings and now have it in writing that the refund was proceed 14/8...let's see Kings. The good thing about this pathetic lack of customer service is everything is in writing. Keeping an eye on the amount of days and my account.

So for anyone else unfortunate enough to still shop at Kings before finding out what they're really like to deal with and then end up here, see below...

I recently had an excellent experience with the 4WD Supacentre Claims Team regarding my Adventure Kings 24Ah Power Pack. The team took the time to review my case and handled it professionally and fairly. They offered me the choice of a store credit or a replacement, which I really appreciated. I decided to upgrade to the 36Ah Power Pack and was… Read more

happy to pay the price difference. The team went above and beyond by helping me choose the best bundle package to suit my needs and arranged a convenient click-and-collect from my nearest store.

Throughout the entire process, the claims team was friendly, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping. Their outstanding customer service has strengthened my confidence in the Kings brand, and I'll definitely continue purchasing my camping and touring gear from 4WD Supacentre. I am a big fan of 4WD Supacentre. Thank you for making the whole experience smooth and hassle-free!

We visited the Kings 4WD Supacentre Store twice in the past few weeks to kick start out 4WD camping journey. I have never experienced such exceptional customer service. The team approach you on the floor proactively, have expert advice, show patience and thoughtfulness, and help you bundle items for savings and efficiency. Even better, they… Read more ·  1

Really good prices during sales. Good midrange products that do the job. Easy to buy online. Friendly staff who were happy to answer questions and make recommendations. Good experience. Show reply

Over priced Chinese garbage stamped in Australia, better to shop anywhere else, worst after sales and support. They will take your money and nothing else, you've been warned.

Very disappointing experience. I placed an order 9 days ago, and I still haven't received it. The tracking information hasn't even progressed. it only says that the shipping information has been provided to the courier, which means the parcel hasn't actually been handed over yet. I really regret buying from 4WD Supacentre. To make things worse, no… Read more

one answers the customer support phone, so it's impossible to get an update on the order. This has been the worst online shopping experience I've had in Australia. I won't be purchasing from them again.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM UNLESS YOU ARE DESPARATE. Their solar mats fall apart after 9 months. Bought 3 of these to realise this. Bought a 110 litre fridge/freezer. The sales staff were good. Making a warranty claim is like dealing with Trump. The freezer stopped working after 15 months. Was told it was out of warranty and basically bad luck. … Read more

Freezer went from -24 degrees to 0 degrees in a 24 hr cycle. Lost lots of frozen stuff. Dropped into their Mildura store and was told that it had 5 years warranty. Had to send photos and videos. Did the video, they did not like the video, so made another 3 videos of the freezer not working. Finally got told to bring it in. Took it to Orange store and bought a 30 litre & 60 litre drawer fridges. Orange store would not give us a receipt for returned fridge. They said a cash credit would be done. TWO weeks later it has been a battle to get them to reimburse for the 110 litre fridge that would not work. They say they have reviewed the video footage and state we did not return the unit. (WE DID) It has been phone call after phone to get them to chase it up, on a daily basis. They state they cannot verify we returned the fridge. As if we want a dead fridge in a small caravan Store staff are good. The warranty and claims people are atrocious. You would be better off dealing with Donald Trump, cause at least you know you will be ripped off. You get what you pay for and Kings branded products are not really very good. Maybe the NON electrical stuff is okay. I don't want to take that risk, so have decided never to go back to Kings 4x4Supacentre. Not even if I am desparate.

I purchased 3 stoves - one for myself and the other 2 for my sister and mother in case they needed them during floods etc. but they purchased their own. So I took back the 2 stoves I purchased for them, keeping one for myself. Firstly,4WD refused to refund money and only gives store credit. I was told at the time I had 2 years to use it. Later I… Read more

received an email with the credit amount and it had only one year to use it. When I raised that under Consumer Law it is supposed to be at least 3 years - they said that is for gift cards and not store credit. I thought it was 2 years credit and was about to use it and it was pointed out to me that it ran out in a year. I will not shop with them again. TP Brisbane

I purchased a drawer for my son’s birthday. The Parkinson store is not far from my home, so when I checked out, I requested to click and collect. When I went to pay it came up as delivery at a cost of $78 so I went to edit and ticked the box for C&C then pushed pay. When I received the receipt and it said that it was getting delivered and I was… Read more

charged the $78. The next morning I emailed them to change it to C&C I was told it was too late. Being a very long time shopper. I will be looking elsewhere moving forward.

Just warning everyone do not buy from 4wd drive supacentre because if you open the cardboard box it came in you cannot return it even for an exchange or credit, yes I’m talking about the cardboard box it was sent in not the actual item itself!! You… Read more

would not even k is the box had been opened as I was very careful! How are you supposed to know what you bought is suitable if you cannot open it!! Will not ever buy from them again

Camping got easier – Tried out the Thumper compressor and the solar panels over Easter. The compressor did not miss a beat. Inflated the tyres on the cruiser in no time after a few days on the beach. It didnt get as hot either as my old one used to do around the hose connection. Extremely happy with it and hopefully will serve me well for many years to come. Set the… Read more

solar panels up on the beach for 2 days charging a lead acid 70 amp hr battery. It run the fridge and a strip light without even looking like going flat. I checked the voltage across the terminals while charging and got 13.85 volt consistently even thou it was mainly overcast. The solar controller outputs 17.6 volt not coupled to the battery which shows its working to its specification. Both these of these items are a great addition to the camping set up. No doubt to me that the 4wd Super centre products are on the mark for price and quality, have payed a lot more for inferior products in the past.

customers rights.

In summary:

• Goods purchased in morning and returned within 6 hours due to products not compatible with existing battery pack.

• Products returned unopened.

• Sales staff attending to the return agreed existing battery pack too small for products

• Original sales staff stated the battery pack was adequate.

• Research show battery is not adequate.

• Customer Service staff on the 1800 number rude and unhelpful.

• Staff keep saying it was a Change of mind refund, it is not it was purchased in error on my behalf and misinformation of sale staff behalf.

The research clearly show the products need a larger battery and if that had been mentioned at the time of purchasing we wouldn’t have purchased the products.

Really disgusted with this process and appalled by your staff attitude. As paying consumers this has been total customers manipulation and abuse. I found their comments insulting.

We will be taking this matter to the highest level. We will make sure that others that have had the same issue with this company come forward and are spoken for too.

I’ve had a really disappointing experience with 4WD online store, they’ve become completely unreliable. I placed a click-and-collect order for 4 items online, collecting at Ballarat Store, all showing as in stock at the time. Shortly after, I received a notification confirming that all 4 items were ready for collection. Since I live about an hour… Read more

away, I made the trip to Ballarat specifically to pick them up.

When I arrived, I was told that one item was actually out of stock, and another had been damaged by a forklift. I was asked to wait until both items were available again before coming back — meaning my trip was completely wasted.

After waiting a few weeks with no updates, I called them. They told me one item was now available and the other could be sourced from Bendigo, and that it had been allocated to me. Before making another long drive (this time to Bendigo), I called again just to confirm — only to be told that item had already been sold out as well.

At that point, I contacted the Ballarat store again, and the only solution offered was a refund.

Overall, this was a frustrating and time-wasting experience — inaccurate stock information, poor communication, and no regard for customers who have to travel long distances. Really disappointing.
