Ordered a few uv globes for my reptile enclosures and they have taken over a month and still haven’t sent me any tracking information and keep telling me when I contact them”it’s coming tomorrow” horrible customer service my snake will probably die before they even give me a tracking number
I ordered 3 items and paid above average shipping for these items to be delivered; only received 2 of the items and have not been replied to or contacted in any way regarding the missing item. Not a reliable website and very poor communication by customer service.
Ordered an item. It's been nearly 3 months and item has not arrived. No communication about shipping or tracking until reaching out to them. There has been multiple excuses about extra courier fees that they expected me to pay for on top of delivery fees already paid, to which I said absolutely not. Continually told it's being shipped soon, it still has not. No phone number to call. This site needs to be removed, 100% scam.

Terrible customer service – I received a broken item because of poor packaging and they won't refund my money. Terrible customer service when trying to get refund.
Silk plants for fish tank – Received my fake plants for my tank and they look spectacular! For 7 plants I couldn’t argue the price. Would have cost me more at my local store. Quick response via email about tracking.
Items Missing from Order | Poor Customer Service | Misleading Website – I purchased from this website, after reading these reviews and then ignoring them, thinking it won't happen to me. Unfortunately, I was very wrong and ended up having a poor experience similar to some of the reviews here. I purchased an air pump (3 pack), however, only received 1 out of the 3 pumps - the website clearly states "3pk" and therefore… Read more
3 pumps should have been provided. This was extremely misleading and disingenuous and the website has failed to uphold a contract that has been agreed into. When I contacted customer service, I was quite quickly dismissed and they tried to shift the blame on me - even though it very clearly says "3pk" in a large and red sign. This shows a lack of customer awareness and poor service, even though the website were very clearly in the wrong they did not want to admit a simple mistake. This issue could have been very easily rectified if the website was to offer a simple refund or supply all 3 air pumps, however, they were too stubborn on being correct, rather admitting a simple mistake.
I would strongly recommend that customers do not purchase from this website and instead choose reputable aquarium related websites such as Tech Den, Aquaholics Online (have much higher ratings!) or high rated eBay or Amazon sellers, who can provide products as advertised and offer better customer service.
As a final warning, please do not make the same mistake that I and many other people on here did, you'll be sorry that you did......
Misleading Images - Impeller Set not a Set only has the Impeller (rotor) – Eheim 2213 Impeller Set (7632600) advertised at aquariumspareparts.com.au clearly shows the entire Impeller, Shaft and Bushings this is also true for the Eheim 2224 Impeller Set (7657360). Yet when it arrived there was no Shaft or Bushings as shown in the image. Only upon further investigation did I find that despite being shown in the image and… Read more
being called a set; under product description I found “No Shaft or Bushings included”. I find this to be highly misleading and disingenuous. Other Impeller Sets do not show the shaft or bushings, so this maybe a copy and paste error. Yet I do not see how a single item can be called a set!

NOTHING SENT! Purchased my items over 20 days ago. When first asked about my item after a week they sent me the incorrect tracking number. When I enquired a week later they told me my order was a special order and takes 10-14 days. I have since… Read more
contacted them again as it's now been over 20 days and still nothing from the seller. I am $200 down without knowing what is happening. They also do not respond to the email they reply to making sure you have to submit a new enquiry everytime you have a question, they are short, lack the information you are asking about.
Follow-up · No tracking number, no ETA and bugger all of a reply just keep saying it's a special order etc. Nothing was advised on their website, support don't respond and when they do it's nothing useful. It's now 26/5/26 and I still don't know where my purchase is or if I'm going to get a refund. I'm following up with Fair Trading now. Don't do business with this company

Purchased 2 ceramic breeding cones through Bunnings Marketplace at a very good price. $7.88. I purchased 2. On their website they have priced at $22.88 each. Product arrived and the contents of the package was 2 cheap plastic plants. Retail value $4. When I emailed Bunnings about this was issued a return slip- and told to pay return shipping for… Read more
the plastic plants. Shipping cost me $15. They "resent" my ceramic cones. Again parcel arrived and it contained the exact same plastic plants. Value $4.
This businesses practice is extremely dishonest. Have some integrity and admit you incorrectly priced your item- either cop the loss and ship my correct items- or have the backbone to cancel the order and refund my money.
Item apparently custom order item anpparently out of stock but NO contact to let customer know ETA, NO service, NO apology, NO date for when tank will arrive for my sick fish. Just like it OR lump it attitude DISGUSTING in a competitive online industry Jake!!! If I could give minus 5 stars I would!
Filter pump not available locally, ordered after 5:00 pm Monday (Christmas week!). Correct item delivered Canberra suburban home 12:20 pm Wednesday (Christmas Eve). Correct item installed and functioning. Outstanding! I dared to hope. Pets and owner all breathing alot easier. Thank you.
Much like many of the other reviews here i ordered items three weeks ago that still have not arrived. I had to email them asking where my order was. I was then told items were out of stock so they had delayed shipping the entire order. I then sent another email asking for some items to be refunded as i really didnt want to wait over three weeks… Read more
for things I could of walked into another shop and purchased and was ignored. When I later asked on a third email to cancel the order and get a refund, the following day they miraculously shipped the order but with no tracking details. Again its been three weeks since i ordered and i still dont have the items. I have serious doubts this is a legitimate business so they probably will never arrive

Item was out of stock when I ordered despite showing in stock online. I reached out after a week to see what had happened as I’d been given no updates and they said it would be shipped asap. Took almost two weeks to ship and when I asked to cancel my order they said it had shipped that day and couldn’t cancel
I oredered on the 13th of the month two days before the plant form. When I had received no post note a few days late I was told I ordered late. I had to follow it up and was t told to wait for another week, I had paid for express postage. Thier email told me nothing i didnt already know. Just rude and simple. Then, after waiting and giving them… Read more
the behefit of the doubt - I was told there was hold up from suppliers of course it was me having to follow this alarm , and not a surprise. . There’s no communication from them , emails scream of i dont give a sh!t . I cancelled my order , but took another week to get the refund. All in all three weeks to be dicked around by this company, when i wanteda express posted part, . NEVER AGAIN. Not a single attempt at good customer service. Makes me wonder whether those are actually bot reviews not human reviews.
I was a bit hesitant to order from this supplier after reading the reviews, but couldn't find the product I wanted locally or elsewhere online. So I made a relatively small order, 3 items, approx $50 including express delivery postage. To my happy surprise, I have just collected my parcel (2 days after ordering). I live in rural Vic. The items were well packed and as described. I'm very happy with this transaction.
Good range of quality products – Products as described, ordered some filter media and an air pump, order took 3 weeks but very happy with all the items and packaging. Definitely not a scam website, shipping just takes a while.
Be wary – I would think twice about purchasing from this website. I bought $300+ worth of products which I never received. After 10 days I contacted them by email after 8pm at night and received a response immediately, saying that they were posting my items and realised one was out of stock but don’t worry! They will have it in stock soon and it will be… Read more
sent then. No ETA, no mention of which product was out of stock. I replied asking for more details and a refund since I needed these items to keep my lizard alive. My email was ignored. Through afterpay I was able to find a contact number for the merchant. The person who answered my call claimed they were not associated with the business and apparently receives a lot of these calls. I was able to get a refund after opening a dispute through afterpay.
Thieves! – Had a fluval skimmer sent to me. The unit was faulty. Sent a ton of photos and it all looked promising for a replacement or refund . After several emails I now get no reply. Skimmer was posted back at my expense. I have asked for a refund several times or confirmation of a new skimmer being posted out. Nothing! Nothing at all. Do not buy from this company. I lost $180 dollars and now need to go buy another skimmer. Nothing but thieves
Ordered Aunubias on driftwood – Just thought I would add my experience with this business - I ordered 3 pieces of anubias on driftwood and they arrived 3 weeks later. Price wise I cannot fault them, the plants were in fantastic condition and were shipped 2 days after aquarium spare parts had placed their order with the supplier. The only issue is they do not state any order… Read more
placed after the 15th of each month for live plants, will ONLY be ordered on the 1st of the next month hence my order taking 3 weeks to arrive in Sydney from Adelaide.
Will order again based on this positive experience and they got my order spot on so I cannot fault them.
bad customer service and does not want to honor the warranty – very bad retail shop, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM, very slow reply or no reply. item broken and does not wish to honor the warranty
Still haven’t received an email about only receiving one plant not two – Horrible customer service, will not even reply to an email I sent months back about only receiving one plant when I paid for two and organised the two being received. I never received a refund if that’s what they did decide to do but I never have been told anything. Horrible company

Poor service after having sent the wrong item – The wrong item was sent and whilst the initial response with support sounded promising, the ensuing instructions to arrange its return was frustrating. I ended up paying for the return postage which they won't refund. At least I eventually received what I initially ordered. Mistakes can happen - their handling of the situation is poor. Will continue to buy from them, but really as a last resort.
Horrible service – Brought 3 bags of gravel paid for it then they send me an email asking for another $40 or they wouldn't ship items after I had already paid for items and shipping ended up getting refund since I refused to pay extra after I already paid full amount be careful of these scamers.
Bad Customer Service/ Guarantee – Paid $178 for aqua one canister filter it arrived promptly best part of my experience, hooked the filter up and it leaks contacted aquarium spare part and he wanted a video of the leak so a video he got with a description of the leak and he sent a o-ring. This did not fix the leak as the leak was coming from the head unit which I had told him, so… Read more
countless emails another picture of the leak he wanted me to undo screws and pull apart the taps, I question him on this saying the item have a 2 year Guarantee with no response, so I did pull them apart with no choice and currently 2 weeks later still waiting for the o-rings for the to come. Should have read the reviews before making this purchase because this the worst experience I have had buying something.
Love this shop – Was notified when my order was shipped, once arrived everything had been carefully packaged which was really important because I had some delicate decorations. The packaging, shipping, price and service were all amazing and I will continue to shop here.
Excellent service… – Excellent after service care… highly recommended… very affordable products that were sent out in a timely matter… would highly recommend buying your aquarium needs from this website… very happy customer…
53 days waiting for a $9.88 seal for my filter – I was recommended by a Petbarn employee this supplier. All I ordered was a $10 seal for my filter. After backwards and forwards endless emails with then they continue to blame Aus Post slow delivery times. I order tons of stuff online and have never had such poor customer service. I would have been happy to again just to save my aquarium. Terrible terrible terrible. Don’t use this company.
I wish I'd read the reviews before being ripped off! – Basically a faceless business that ripes customers off. I paid for an Aqua One Air Stone Flexible 120cm $19.88 - and they sent me a measly 30cm on selling for $7.88. They never replied to my emails.. I never received my original order or a refund.
Don't buy from this company – Ordered and paid for product but it never arrived keep getting different stories as to why product hasn't arrived no apologies at all. Wouldn't even give them a one star
Ripped off – Payed near 40.00 for a SET of replacement baskets for a odellaris filter and I get 1 basket and the top cover for my money. When contacted was told you get what you pay for basically. Well if I could have ordered the SET from overseas its around 40.00 aus. and you get 4 baskets and the top cover, sadly the seller can't post to australia. I would not recommend this store to anyone and they certainly will not get any more of my money.
Do not buy from these guys – Paid extra for express postage and only just got tracking info 3weeks later, no communication absolute. We’re rude when I emailed them do yourself a favour don’t buy from here
Poor customer service – I bought an item which arrived faulty. I returned the item to the PO Box on the packaging slip but it took days for them to find it. They refunded the item minus the postage as they claimed the item was working. .
