Fake shop!! – Warning!!! Warning!!! They sell fake products. Communication is so bad, eventually you will give up contacting them. They have no Contact number, or business name it's registered under, no address. It's a fraudulent business. Never try buying from them or lose money!!. They are not Australian business, so not under ACCC or Fair trading. Had an… Read more

awful experience recently and lost $4250.00 for a fake watch. Even ACCC or Fair trading unable to help.

Warning!! Warning!!

Happy with purchase – My Festina watch I ordered arrived in exactly 3 weeks from time of purchase. I received tracking emails and notification when it was delivered. The watch was packaged securely and is exactly what I ordered in perfect condition. I was apprehensive about ordering online but I'm happy with service and product. March 5th 2018 Update: Products… Read more

are sent from Malaysia

My partner didn't like the watch I purchased from Bodying Australia so I asked if I could exchange for another, more suitable watch. At first they replied that it had to be returned within 30 days of purchase but when I explained it was a Christmas gift and was being returned within seven days of my partner opening it, they obliged. It was frustrating though that they would only reply intermittently when I was trying to organise things this end.

I had to return the watch to a Malaysian address (so that meant more expensive international postage) and once it was received they would dispatch my new order. It was delivered within three weeks and I am happy with my purchase. Once again I received tracking emails and it was packaged securely with tags attached.

They are not an Australian company which we are led to believe and in future I will buy at local jewellery stores to avoid the hassle if I change my mind or have any warranty issues.

Anxiety attack – I purchased a tag heuer aqua racer 300m from this company at a great price of $ 1950.00 versus $2500.00 in store. Everything seemed to be going ok then i got email asking for proof of address and a copy of purchase from my bank statement. I sent that being very careful to cover up any info not relevant. Then there was nothing for over a week… Read more

after being told my watch will be sent asap. I read this website and I freaked out over the comments. I tried to cancel my order, but to no avail. 4 emails later to try and cancel, i get an email saying your watch is sent. It came quick via priority. I opened it today and everything looked legit. I checked with TAG HEUER on the serial numbers and the watch is authentic. Glad i saved the money the watch is great, but i think next time I would just pay the extra.....save on the stress. Hope this helps.

Nightmarish experience. Dodgy business – Bought a watch, got confirmation email. Next day, order was cancelled and the same watch put back on sale for a higher price. All enquiries fell to deaf ears, bodying.com.au has not responded. They just keep sending automated email reply. Never buy from this seller.

My experience with Bodying – I was looking for a nice Valentine's gift for my wife. My experience with Bodying was nothing short of superb. I dealt with Emily throughout the entire process. She was polite, sincere and excellent knowledge about watches. Delivery was smooth and fast. Will definitely buy from Bodying again!

Didn't work out, left me hanging and i had to chase up Paypal – Ordered a watch, money was held up somewhere, and a month later thankfully Paypal got my money back, but as soon as bodying realised the money wasn't forthcoming they stopped responding...try somewhere else i reckon.

Good price and reasonably quick delivery – First attempt to purchase the watch I wanted could not be supplied. A cheaper alternative was suggested. Paypal money was refunded for first unsuccessful purchase. This happened promptly. I bought the watch suggested and it appears to be quite genuine and exactly as described. Somewhat cheaper than the other Phillip Stein watch I purchased, but… Read more

that was more of a dress watch. This one is water resistant to 200m with a screw in crown. Service was prompt and I was informed when the watch was sent and given a tracking number. No complaints and would purchase again from them.

Stay away ! – I purchased a watch through what I thought was an Australian company. Only to find they are based in Malaysia. My watch arrived this week - worked for three hours before it started to rattle and the movement is definitely moving around! I have no idea whether they sent me a dud or after reading other reviews, maybe it's a fake. Now it looks like… Read more

I have wasted my $550.

I will be reporting Bodying to PayPal in the hope that they can had a warning about this lot.

Definitely Buyer Beware.

They list products as being in stock which they can't supply – After reading previous reviews I tested Bodying Australia by asking if they could supply a watch they had advertised as in stock before buying it. The watch was a Luminox model number 6203 which was discontinued some years ago. They list it as in stock but when I contacted them by phone they advised that no, it's not in stock but I might be… Read more

interested in other watches (the classic bait and switch). Try yourself before buying, the only number I could find to contact them was in Malaysia but it's cheap on skype, +603 6253 2288. Make sure you pay on paypal to get some buyer protection or on credit card if your credit card gives you buyer protection.

This type of retail strategy is exactly why we have consumer protection laws in Australia.

The Worst Online Service I Have Ever Used – I can't believe the amount of poor service and quality problems for this site. I shelled out $1,100 for a Citizen Eco-drive EM0326-52D on 4 November 2015 and it is now 23 December and I haven't received the watch and they have had my money for over 2 months. 24 emails back and forth since then and I feel powerless and I am scared that the watch… Read more

may end up being faulty. Also they are the only company who have ever asked for proof of my bank statement with the watch money detailed on it. This I objected to vehemently as I have never been asked to do this before. Luckily is was a low value card rather than my main card. I am also making a complaint to the Victorian Consumer Affairs about this dodgy company. I firmly agree buyer be aware and I would never go near them again. Regards, SusanA

Buyer beware! Stay away! – Bought ladies Hugo Boss watch from them, which after couple of months started showing dark stains on the face plate. Didn't expose them to any chemicals or even water and all of my other watches never had anything like this...fake? After several weeks of trying to argue that this is normal and somehow my problem Bodying agreed to take them for… Read more

repair with "official HB service center" (address is in in KL) and then it went silent. 7 months in I still haven't seen my watch and today they've replied that "sorry warranty doesn't cover it"... I doubt my watch went anywhere and will be trying to recover my money through PayPal

Do not shop here – After I paid for my order, I received a reply advising they were closed for a week. Had no more contact from them and after 2 weeks when I contacted them, they advised me I had to verify my payment and they requested copies of my bank statement. I bought from them because they had a Sydney NSW address but the watch actually came from the… Read more

Phillipines or Malaysia and it took 1 month after I paid them to get here, not 2 days as advertised.

Avoid this business like the plague. I'll never shop with them again.

Just another "Out of (stock) bodying experience" – I purchased a Certina DS GMT Eagle from these guys because they said they have it in stock. I paid the money $1200 then days later they told me it's now out of stock and out of production and suggested I purchase a different watch for more money, a watch I don't particularly care for. They said it was in stock when I placed the order but ran out… Read more

during the order processing time...yeah right. The worst thing was I was tossing up over this watch and a very nice pre-owned Seiko Astron on Ebay. Needless to say the Astron has been sold. Had I known the Certina was not in stock I would now be the happy owner of the Astron. A very upsetting experience and I'll be letting Certina and Swatch know about these practices. To me "in stock" means you have it at your warehouse now for immediate delivery not...Yeah okay pay us the money and we'll let you know if we can get one you know er whenever we get around to it.

Just another "Out of (stock) bodying experience"

What kind of stupid name is bodying anyway?

These Guys SUCK!!!!! – Buyer beware. They have no stock! They take your money FAST. Then two weeks later, Oh Sorry we have no stock, do you want to buy something completely different. They Are REAL DODGY. Stay away. You have been warned.

Complete Incompetence – I highly recommend to people they stay away from this lot. They are a complete waste of time. They have no idea of their stock or the availability. They first try to lock in your payment then attempt to bargain with you regarding other items that they don't even know they have. They even attempted to get me to do a direct bank transfer. None. Slow, unknowledgable, unreliable, dodgy, disorganised, etc etc..

Great website! – I recently bought my Breitling SuperOcean from this site. Saving heaps! Everything went nice and smooth. I received my watch on time. My watch was and is perfectly fine. I will be definitely getting more from this site. Great and efficient service not to mention the excellent pricing. Highly recommended from my end. Great price

Good service overall despite ordering two watches which where no longer in stock – As stated i had three attempts to actually buy a watch. I had chosen the one i wanted which showed as being in stock, paid for it with PayPal only to receive an email from Bodying to say it was unavailable. This then happened a second time, this would normally have sent me over the edge however on the third attempt all went well and i received a… Read more

Seiko dive watch for half the going price. I received emails at every stage throughout delivery, courteous and prompt emails from Bodying. Good service Stock listings not up to date

Waste of time – Automatic fail: Describing a watch as "In Stock" when it isn't. Don't be fooled by the decent-looking website; for me, shopping with bodying.com.au was a waste of time. I don't know how much time because I don't have a watch. Having done some research (a bit too late), many others have had the same experience. At least they were fairly prompt;… Read more

I received a refund in four days. And they have since removed the watch that I ordered from the website. Failure to provide any goods or services in exchange for money.

Horrible experience – Save your money and stay away from Bodying.com. I would never purchase another watch from this “shady” website. I was sold a defective Certina watch which never worked. Seller located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, told me to fix the new watch myself and, when I refused, would not agree to replace it with a factory new working watch. I finally got my money back thanks to PayPal. They tried to sell me a defective watch

Easy transaction and happy – I bought a Seiko kinetic for less than half of the price in the shops. I am very happy with the service, communication from Bodying, delivery time and obviously the price. After this experience I would be happy to purchase from this company in the future. I have no idea what the service is like if you have faulty goods, but I imagine they would sort things out if there was a problem. Cheap, huge range, fast delivery and great communication
