These shysters should be put out of business. I bought a steam mop from them which died after 8 uses and within the "warranty" period of 3 months. I returned it to them for assessment and presumably replacement, and after weeks of chasing them via emails and phone calls, finally received an reply today. They thought the motor had overheated, but I'd have to pay for them to take the mop apart to further diagnose the problem. They said the mop "had served me well for weeks, but has a limit". One would expect the "limit" to be at least as long as the warranty period. A warranty that isn't worth the paper it's written on. Steer clear of this company and spread the word to save others the frustration.

I bought a chair on their website on 03/09/2014 and drove 1 hour (56km) to the warehouse to pick it up. When I tried to assemble the chair at home I found one of the main structure - the hydraulic pump is missing from the box. I rang them and emailed them to rectify the problem and I was given 2 options, to go to the warehouse again to pick up the spare part or to return the chair for 80% of the money I paid both of which I refused. They are basically asking me to pay for their mistakes. I asked them to simply post the spare parts to me which t...

I bought an office PVC mat from this outfit. It was damaged when I received it and they refused to give me a refund, even after I sent photos to prove it. After many emails back and forth still no success. I bought a dinner service from Peters of Kensington and when I sent them a photo of a broken plate they replaced it immediately, they were fantastic, but I would avoid Always Direct at all costs.

Did not listen to me and no customer service.

This is the worst company to deal with. stand clear of them. Trying to get delivery information is impossible. After waiting hours on hold then to be told someone will call you back. Well surprise surprise, no return phone call. Never use this company. There should be better buyer protection

Terrible delivery service. Still waiting.................................

Threadmill I bought broke down (short circuited my whole house). Besides, the engine was much less powerfull that advertised. This is a breach of consumer law on 2 counts. AD doesn't understand their legal obligations, and worst, they don't care. Supplier given express warranty doesn't replace a consumer guarantee under the ACL.

Engine blew up, much weaker engine than advertised

The battery on the swivel sweeper lasted 4 months. Now it does not hold the charge. No refund or replacement battery offered. Told product has only 3 month warranty. Never buy from this company. Wish i had read reviews before buying. Hope this helps others to stay away from always direct.
Work well for a couple of months
Failed to work after 4 months

Just returned from a VCAT hearing today. They categorically refused to exchange a chair which was defective, could not be assembled because the base did not fit, gave bad customer service, blamed me because they alleged that I was incompetent in not being able to screw four bolts in with allen keys.
10 Months of aggravation and having to take a day off work to fight this in VCAT! In the end we won and the chair was exchanged only because they had run out of options. In the end,consumer law prevailed and they were found wanting.

Please peopl...

Brought a ladder from them which was very unsafe. The ladder was unstable and didn't meet australian standards. When contacted they tried to get out of the situation and wouldn't acknowledge Australian consumer laws. Had to physically go to their office and fight for a refund. Don't be afraid people to fight for your rights. Cheap Asian imports photos can make anything look good.
Quick shipping
Bad service bad quality

I would not recommend this seller to anyone as I would not wish their business procedures on my worst enemy!! When the item had not been received for a while I contacted them. Their response was that they had not received payment from Paypal! Also that now they had no more stock! Both comments proved incorrect once contacted via Paypal. Once exposed for their "incorrect?!?" comments they promised to send product immediately. Eventually, through Paypal resolution centre, I received a refund and absolutely no more contact, apology etc from this company. I would never even contemplate ever dealing with this excuse for a company again. Buyer beware!!!!

Never receivec the product only "incorrect" explanations from the company.

I bought 3 marquees from them for almost $3000 and these things were up for 2 hours before a bit of wind tore them apart...the poles were shredded, the eyelets on the tarps torn, and the tarps flew away and got stuck in trees and power lines. The company refuses to give a refund and doesn't care!!!! Says they are not responsible for weather conditions. This product is pure rubbish and should never be sold!!!! Do not buy from this seller...they don't stand by their products and sell cheap junk form China. Even out of the box some of the tarps were torn...little did we know it was about to get worse!!! I'm sueing them....anyone interested in joining?

Bad product and useless customer service

I ordered the Eames Elliptical ETR Coffee Table Black Replica. The coffee table came with a chip at one end. I was offered $60 refund (!, ie to go away), or to swap it for a proper one. I then received the 2 chrome bases with 8 screws. There was no indication that the item required assembly. The bases and screws came without screwdriver and without any template or markings on the underside of the table to show exactly where the bases need to be screwed. Why not? When I tried to screw the screws in with my own proper-sized Phillips-head screwdri...

My wife and I bought a trampoline mat on September 30. We have bought alotin our lives, over 200 products each. From the very first contact, I knewI found the right place to shop this time. The way they handle our questions, is incredible - definitely done by a patient and professional customer service team. Makes me and my wife happy! Thank you.

Found them on eBay and find out they are close to my work. After couple times of visiting, bought a set of dumbbell for my hubby last month. The price is so cheap and my husband thought I was joking when I told him how much it is! Anyway, I am happy to deal with them face to face. I will be back!
cheap. fast delivery

This company showed an item as in stock so I purchased it. The item was required for a specific date so I had left sufficient time for delivery of the item.

After a few weeks of not hearing anything about delivery I contacted the company to find out where the item was.

I was advised that they did NOT have the item in stock and I would need to pay more for a similar item. As I needed it by a certain date they could not then guarantee it would arrive a time. So I had to cancel my order and locate it locally.

The item was purchased local...

Would never ever ever buy anything from them, or recomend anyone buying anything from them, ew bought a 3 x6 marquee very difficult and time consuming to put up, the nest day after the party tent was on the floor with 2 tent legs snapped, tried numerous time to get an exhange, or an explantion about the product, sent 3 emails and 3 calls before a mangager would take the call, was fobbed off and told the manager was overseas, couldnt even understand a word the acting so called manager said, all in all a very upsetting experience i now have a useless marque taking up room in the shed, will be in our next skip disposal, customer service APPALLING

terrible warranty service

We did not buy anything from this company however they charged our credit card nearly $1000. On acknowledging the error the company repeatedley refused to recredit the transaction instead insisting we go through our bank. This meant they got the benefit of our money whilst we had to pay the $1000 to the bank until they get the money back. The company contact was unhelpful, unreasonable and rude.

Unethical, bad service.

This was for the children to enjoy touchpad experience. Much to there dismay and a few tears these items are a load of rubbish. They do not work as described.

Nothing but rubbish !
I cannot download apps or connect to the internet as wireless does not work, touchscreen works internittently and they are shoddily assembled

We bought a cross-trainer from this company that was used daily at home and then broke within 2-3 months. We sent an email to ask for a refund with a photo attached of the damage and then were basically accused of lying and having broken it doing something other than cross-training on it. After finally convincing them it was legit we paid half the cost price to have it couriered back and requested an refund, as we were told we could do.

Some weeks later, after having to call them again, several times, a replacement trainer arrived. We decid...

I purchased a faulty item, returned it at my expense, and asked for a refund , no way that was going to happen, they sent another faulty item. I had to send that one back. Still no refund. Rude customer service. Poor product, poorly packed. There are lots better Internet sellers to buy from.
