Avoid this brand and save yourself the money. Their sizing guide is incorrect and shirts are shorter than usual size. But they refuse to refund or exchange. Wasting time and money. Show details
Would leave 0 stars if possible. This company posts items out without signature. They take no responsibility if your item is stolen and say it is the responsibility of the customer. A safe drop onto a porch by Australia Post is not secure delivery and I'm sure Assembly Label know that, but they are TOO CHEAP to add a couple dollars to ensure… Read more
signature is required but instead rather wash their hands of the matter when deliveries are stolen.
Never buy from them. They make no effort in ensuring you get your parcel, and say that is your responsibility.
I will be contacting my credit card company to see what my options are.
Assembly Label Customer Service Cost Me Dollars – My review is in hopes to alert customers in advance that they do not make the same mistake as me. I purchased a linen dress and the size was too small. I reached out to customer service to get approval for return. Not only did I pay $39 postage (USPS), when they received it they refunded an odd amount lower than the original payment. The 1 Star… Read more
rating is because there is absolutely NO customer service communication. They have a 30 day return policy. I tried numerous times to reach service and with days running out I went ahead and returned item. Beware, if something doesn't fit and you need to return/exchange this will cost you $$$.

Faulty stitching – A great style of bag, but quality so poor that within a couple of weeks of minimal use all the stitching on the straps came undone.
Incredible wool coat – Ordered from Taranaki on Sun 20 th May Delivered from Sydney 25th May Can’t get better than that ! I was wary of buying such an expensive item with a delivery from overseas 100% happy with my Manon wool coat Quality great, good quality lining , sizing correct I am only 5’2 so it’s long but expected that Photo as seen on the website Coat matches photo exactly Show reply
What is going on here? Why is there a camel toe – Assembly label, what is going on here with my missus' track pants? They have lost shape and now looks like she's got a humungous camel toe under her bottom. The pants are less than a year old. She realised all the places she's gone out wearing these and oh the look of horror on her face. Maybe have a really good hard look at your product quality. Show details
Jumper a waste of money – After one wash, the (black) jumper faded and lost its shape and looked shabby. The colour and cuffs turned dry and crinkled. I washed it for the 5th or 6th time this week and the colour STILL ran so badly it ruined all the clothes in the machine. So disappointed. $90 literally down the drain.

Beautiful Wool Beautiful Jumpers – Beautiful garmets. Beautiful wool. I have many items of this brand mainly jumpers. They wash and wear with no problem. They are the warmest knits (containing no synthetic or acrylic) and feel great on the skin . Natural fibres is only way especially in Tassie winter!!! Ps. Go down one size they run large Show details
Really nice clothes and get service from Kayla (online) – Brought a really beautiful coat from a store (same one as someone else did a great review on below) and liked so much brought a trench online as wasn’t I store. After a small initial issue Kayla was so so helpful and reasonable and I really happy with the jacket and service. Will buy from again! Thank you Show details · 1
The Mae dress is amazing – I purchased the Mae linen dress a couple of months ago and it is honestly my favourite dress. I'm really surprised by the other reviews I've read on here as I've found the quality to be excellent! It was slightly oversized but they did state that in the product description so I sized down when I ordered. I'm really happy and would order from them… Read more · 1
again. The only thing I want them to improve on is that I would like more information about their supply chain and how ethical their production is.

Terrible Service – Terrible Service I was bought a top from Assembly by a family member who lives in the States, she isn’t the best with size conversions. It’s too small. I have, in the past, been able to exchange something at the Manly store and ended up spending several hundred more dollars on other items. Not this time! After persevering, explaining the… Read more
situation, sending the receipt, requesting some good faith rather than wasting $100, I was told I could cross town to their ‘Surplus’ store. Sure thing, Caroline, so easy! No offer of organising postage, or heading to Manly where I probably would have purchased more items again. This certainly will be the last time anything from Assembly enters my house, and all my friends houses for that matter. When a Customer asked for an issue to be escalated Caroline, you do that, it’s called Customer Service. Kindest! (worst
Confusing service, poor support – Nice clothes but returning to the company is not worth the trouble. They advertise as an NZ site, but you have to return to Aus, at your own cost. This is not made clear on purchasing. Paid $70 to send all items back, so nothing in hand for that cost. Never do that again. And I’m telling friends too because I think selling as “NZ” is deceitful. Customer service say, oh dear, sorry, but nothing more. Really? Not ok. Show details
Terrible quality and overpriced – Nice designs but terrible quality and fit. Don't expect any of the items purchased from assembly to last any longer than a month. I have stupidly purchased many items from assembly including pants, t-shirts, overshirts, hoodies, shorts etc. After a month the clothes will lose all sense of structure and form and the colours will be aggressively… Read more
faded. The result is an extremely ill fitting and tattered piece of clothing that will be relegated to sleepware draw. The pricing of the clothing is absurd considering the quality, I wouldn't pay any more than $5 let alone $50 for one of their t shirts.

Nice looking clothes BUT don’t last – Have spent over $500 on assembly over the past year. I really like the design of their clothing BUT I have had better longevity from my H & M clothing. Mostly their t-shirts have been very poor, with the neck stretching out and loosen after 1 wash. Very disappointed as I want to like the brand but when I have contacted their customer support, I… Read more
didn’t receive a response. I would love a refund or replacement for all my items, but not sure if assembly label cares that much about their customers.

Poor service for online orders – A blame the customer culture. Hard to get a comprehensive reply to questions about orders, exchanges and refunds. Information re sizing online is inconsistent and resulted in wrong size being ordered. Still hasn’t been updated. Will never buy again. Show details

Online items still not delivered after 44 days – Purchased a number of items in November, thinking they would be good for pre Christmas delivery. It’s now the 4th January and all Assembly Label can do is apologise for Australia Post delays. Clearly something is very wrong as I have received multiple other items from other retailers using Australia Post within days. When I try to contact… Read more
Australia Post, they refer me back to Assembly Label, but too many days have passed to get away with another empty apology. Either refund my money or arrange for me to receive what I paid for. Forget any understanding from Assembly Label that it was Christmas presents that failed to arrive.

CAREFUL OF THE SIZING – I usually wear a size 14, but on this occasion I thought I would order the size 16 linen slip dress. Even if it was a little lose I could work with it. It arrived and it certainly is not a 16 by any means imagination, it closer to a 12, could not even get it on, it was not going slip on anyway. It was as advertised but the sizing is way out. … Read more
They really are catering up to size 12s (Australia).
Pity I really liked their stuff and was thinking to buy some more items, but this has me put right off.

New gray fleece colour run so bad – Bought via ICONIC. loved the look of it and washed it. Threw all the labels away. Took out of wash, delicate wash mind you, and the colour run was terrible. I want my money back! Show details

Terrible! Quality is NOT worth even the 30% off discount! – I payed $63 for an otherwise $90 sweatshirt. Was not satisfied with the quality at all. Felt like something I could buy at Kmart or Big W, with the letters painted on. Won't be purchasing from here again. Show details

Company website only publishes 5 star reviews, real quality is not good – I bought the Kai rib t-shirt and it shrank significantly on the first wash (cold hand wash). It fitted beautifully when I first tried it on, but after washing it, it is now so small it doesn't fit me at all and I cannot wear it. Also the light pink version of the shirt is so pale it just looks white, which is not how it appeared online. As I… Read more
bought the t-shirt online, the company sent me an email inviting me to submit a review, which I did, however they did not publish the review as it was critical. I went to the website and submitted the review again, and again they did not publish it! If you look at the reviews for this shirt on the Assembly Label website, you will see they are all 5 star, or maybe with one 4 star review. Instead of improving the quality of their overpriced product, they artificially make it look as though they have only happy customers. Very dishonest.
Poor quality, overpriced – Believe the reviews! 3 Label Tees purchased and after the second wash the quality is terrible. Especially with white - fades, rough & pulls out of shape. The jeans - rough, terrible stitching and fit. Quality has lowered and over priced for the poor quality garment received Show details

Apparently anything above size 12 isn’t ‘normal’ – Popped into Byron Bay this morning with a friend and we took on some retail therapy in Jonson St. Found a dress I liked at Assembly Label and asked if they had it in a 14, adding “I see you don’t have anything above a 12 on the racks.” Sales assistant fetches dress and “We don’t have a lot of hanging space (crap) so we only put the regular sizes out.” Ouch.. how very Lorna Jane of you! A FB post has shown me it’s not a one off by this brand. Show details

Quality is really bad – I bought a cotton shirt and the colour faded an unbelievable amount literally after one wash (on the Quick wash setting using cold water). Now the shirt looks really ugly. Also the cotton really isn't very soft, even when I received it brand new. It just feels rough and cheap. Very disappointing for a $50 shirt. Show details

Not worth the prices – Singlet purchased on The Iconic so can't speak to customer service. However, for the price, the quality of the garment is very bad. The linen material is nice but the construction has foundational but basic problems. The singlet has been cut carelessly so the sides do not sit straight. Not worth it purchasing from here when many other brands now offer nice linen garments. Show details

My item never arrived - Assembly Label told me to call AU Post – I ordered a pair of shorts for a family member for Xmas on the 10th of December. I figured it'd come before Xmas since on the website it says 5-10 working days for shipping. But Xmas came and went and my gift for my dad didn't show up. Luckily I bought him another gift to be safe. Assembly Label are quick to reply but they said they'd been… Read more
experiencing large delays. It didn't say this anywhere on their website when I ordered. if I had have known it would take this long I most definitely wouldn't have ordered.
Anyway, today is Dec 31 and it's still not here. AU Post marked it as delivered with a signature yesterday despite the fact I was home all day and nothing arrived. When I contacted Assembly Label they suggested I contact AU Post to check. Feel pretty sure I'm just not going to get these bloody shorts! I like their clothes but this has been really disappointing and will definitely be the last time I order from them.

T shirt fallen to shreds – Purchased a t shirt from Assembly label recently having enjoyed their products in the past. The quality of the t shirt is of the worst I've come across. It lasted two washes before getting holes and falling apart at the seam. It's now a rag I use to clean my car with. Show details

Awful quality garments and customer service – I bought some shirts directly from their website and I cannot believe how awful the quality is, I have never made on online review before but these were just horrible. I would be able to get much better quality shirts at kmart and that's saying a lot because kmart definitely doesn't have good quality but it's at least better than Assembly Label!… Read more
Customer service was rude and unhelpful, also took so long to reply and had to contact them 3 different ways. There are so many different places to buy online and in store, I don't know how this company is still around when there are companies that offer great quality items and customer service as well. Learn from my mistake and don't buy from here!

Terrible quality - Terrible Service - Difficult returns – I used to buy a lot of Assembly label in the past (a couple of years back), especially their linen shirts and denim of which I still wear today(The ones they used to make 2-3 years ago). However every time I have made a purchase lately I cannot believe how bad the quality of the items are... Linen shirts are paper thin and feel like plastic with… Read more
terrible stitching- loose threads etc. Same goes for their terrible quality denim. You would find better quality tees and jumpers at Kmart or Big W....
What makes purchasing from Assembly Label even worst is they give the impression of fast and easy returns but whenever I have had to return an item that being most - due to the quality - I have sent back the item and not heard back or received a refund for weeks (even though Aus post tells me A.L received it after 2 days of sending it) the only time I get my refund is after I have had to email A.L asking what has happened to it. I am honestly not exagerating this has happened all 5 times I have returned an item giving A.L the benefit of the doubt.
I will never purchase from Assembly Label again and warn others..

There denim is getting worse quality – I brought a pair of their jeans a year ago and was really happy with the quality, now I have just brought another pair and have noticed a difference in quality, the buttons are a worse metal, the denim is not as pure or thick, overall just feels cheaper, although the price point is the same. I think the jeans I just bought are cute but don’t think I’ll buy from them again.

Terrible online service – I advise anyone interested in purchasing Assembly Label to do so though the ICONIC. Free shipping, returns, easy service and always on sale! Online Assembly label is absolutely shocking to deal with. No company phone, disinterested in customer problems, terrible- unhelpful solutions, errors and return costs. I have done online customer service… Read more
myself for one of Australia biggest brands and understand all that it requires to be successful. Assembly label needs help.
Save yourself the stress.
I don't even rate it one star.

Lucky to get 1 star! – It’s hit or miss with the clothing, linen pants fell apart at the seems after one wear. Customer service is atrocious!!!!! How they run a business is beyond me. I have never had a good experience at ANY of their shops!! For gods sake fix it!!!

Avoid – Terrible quality! Tees stretch out after one wear, linen dress worn once and falling apart at the seams.

images used to market it on the Assembly Label website.
When I contacted customer services Assembly Label offered me $20 store credit, which doesn't even cover the original $30 shipping to the UK, $27 customs charges or $22 cost of returning the item to them.
Such a shame as the quality (and service) used to be so much better, and at a reasonable price. Avoid.

Contact them again and they tell me they’re doing stock take and couldnt tell me… Read more
