Review your last buy on ProductReview.com.au

 AI reviews summary 

Catwalk’s reputation is sharply divided between customers who receive quick, well-priced service and a significant volume of users reporting severe operational failures. While the store offers competitive pricing and a broad product range, recurring reports of extreme dispatch delays, non-existent human communication, and incorrect order fulfilment suggest a high level of inconsistency.

Pros
Competitive Pricing: Frequently cited as having the best market prices for high-end hair and beauty brands like Dermalogica and Olaplex.
Extensive Inventory: Users appreciate the wide variety of professional products and the availability of items that are often difficult to find elsewhere.
Efficient Fulfilment (Inconsistent): When the system works, orders are described as being well-packaged and delivered within 3–5 days.
User-Friendly Website: The online interface is praised for being easy to navigate with a simple checkout process.
Cons
Severe Dispatch Delays: Numerous reports of orders remaining in "pick and pack" status for two to four weeks, despite advertised 1–5 day timeframes.
Poor Communication: Customer service is largely limited to automated email replies; many users report total "radio silence" and an inability to reach a human via phone for online order issues.
Inventory Inaccuracy: Recurring complaints suggest the website lists items as "in stock" that the company does not actually have, leading to long waits while stock is sourced.
Difficult Resolution Process: Reports of incorrect items being sent followed by burdensome return requirements, or "security checks" requesting sensitive ID documents to release held orders.
Verdict

Catwalk is a viable option for consumers prioritising price over reliability, provided they are not in a hurry to receive their items. However, due to significant recurring issues with communication and fulfilment delays, customers should be prepared for potential difficulties in resolving order errors or securing refunds.

Ordered 26 July. Contacted H/O, still not even despatched. Could be a further 3 days before they even post, despite paying immediately. Really poor customer service

Very disappointed that my order placed on the 19th July has not been posted due to Unavailable stock. I have waited 14days so far. Two apologetic company emails later I was told that they expect to ship my order on Friday 31st, with a tracking number. I have heard nothing. I will not buy online from Catwalk again. Show details

Don’t buy from here! I purchased $115 worth of product and it just never arrived. I contacted customer service over a week ago and I haven’t hear anything back, they haven’t even attempted to resolve the issue. Don’t get scammed like me

Catwalk A+++++ Redken ❤️ – I have been buying from Catwalk for over a year now. They sell the top brands of quality hair and beauty products some that cannot be found in supermarkets or in stores at unbeatable prices. They are official stockists so you know you are getting the real thing. My favourite is their Redken hair products. A high end professional hair care range,… Read more

at unbelievable prices. My hair has never been healthier. And that is thanks to the fantastic support from the Catwalk support team who certainly know their stuff are just an email away for advice from professional staff. Emails are usually answered the same day by professional, knowledgeable, trained staff who have always advised me in the right direction with a detailed explanation. Most online stores are busy and you are given a ticket number you wait a few days and then need to hurry you out of the way. Not at Catwalk, at Catwalk you are answered to straight away and nothing is a problem. Emails are detailed, showing they have taken the time to value me as customer and not a ticket number and that means a lot. I would like to thank all of the lovely staff at Catwalk and if you keep those prices down I'm not going anywhere. And to anyone looking for hair, skin and beauty products, I highly recommend Catwalk.com.au You will not be disappointed

Wonderful Happy Customer – Catwalk is a great business, wonderful products and great prices, I purchased 2 lots of Olaplex Bundles, and the leave in mask and moistures for my hair. My Sister in law is a Hairdresser and told me to get the Opalex, so I found Catwalk on line, they had the bundle sets, which was awesome for me, they arrived in good timing, and the product is… Read more

the best and it has saved my hair, my hair is getting healthier, and feels so soft baby soft, happy as i have natural curly bleached foiled hair. These products are amazing, you may pay more but use less and have great hair again, thank you Catwalk for your awesome prices. Will be back to restock my hair products. Happy Customer from Perth Western Australia

I ordered a product on 31/12/25. Had no updates on it until 8/1/26 that order is “still processing.” Emailed customer care on the 7/1/26 and received a reply back from then on the 9/1/26 stating - order is delayed and is still getting processed. Email stated order will be processed in 2-4 business days. Now on the 14/1/26 still nothing. No… Read more

shipping email, no personal update from them. Spent a lot of money on these products and feel like I am getting scammed.

Appalling experience! Avoid this company. It’s truly not worth the tiny savings for the headache that comes with ordering from them. I ordered on the 6/6/26. Shipping was said online to be sent within a few days. Fast track to the 15/6/26. Still no tracking or communication from Catwalk. I called them. They didn’t want to talk and asked me to send… Read more

an email which according to online they should get too n another 3 days. I persisted on the phone. I then received an email saying my order apparently was in a small amount of orders that are having short delays and should be sent within 3 days, and that they would then sent it with express shipping. This was another false promise. It’s now the 18/6 and order has finally been sent, but with Aramex economy due by 23/6/26. This is an absolute joke! I’ve tried emailing them for shipping type with no response, and they are not answering phone calls. 1 star is generous. Upon reading reviews online I see now that this is a common issue with this company and seems they consistently delay shipping. They seem to have very poor time management, poor customer service and poor communication. Avoid and spend money elsewhere from a reputable company!

Accepted order, accepted money. Processing status did not change in over two weeks. Emailed asking for an update. No response. Phoned their number but they do not accept calls for problems with online orders. Requested refund through PayPal which was given immediately. Show details

 Follow-up  · Answers to follow up questions: I checked out as a new member, I used PayPal as noted in my original review and the timeframe was 3-5 business days. It was 3 weeks before they started the processing. This was after I received my refund from PayPal.

Was a bit sceptical about ordering from Catwalk because of the mixed reviews however I thought I would try them anyway. My items arrived within a few days intact, no issues, will buy from the again without hesitation.

The Catwalk website made it very easy to find the products I was looking for. I found that they had the cheapest prices, after looking around at numerous other websites, especially Dermalogica products. I was also impressed by the expedient delivery. Show details

Already a week and they still haven’t posted my order. They won’t take calls and it all has to be done by email. All they do is send a ticket number. I’m in the same state. Poor service and who knows if I will even get what I ordered. Show details

They sent me the wrong product, then said they will send me the correct one and never did. They also expect me to go to the post office and waste my time sending back the other product. If I had actually received the right one as they promised then okay I will do this, but you need to actually send me back the right product first. Please don’t order from them unless you want a very stressful experience.

I still don’t have my product and they aren’t answering my emails about this order or delivery status. Absolutely shockingly appalling service or lack thereof. They should not be in business. Please do not order from this company - this is clearly a scam. Show details

Ordered 2 weeks ago and still at ‘pick and pack’ status. Order confirmation says goods are meant to be dispatched in 1-5 days. They won’t take phone calls regarding online orders so I emailed. Got an automated reply telling me they’d get back to me but not to email again or I’d go to the back of the queue. No-one has got back to me. Not very… Read more

hopeful of receiving my order after seeing these reviews. I’ve initiated a chargeback but my bank said that can take 75 days (if approved) so most likely I’ve lost my money. Don’t be tempted by the ‘sale’ prices, order somewhere else, the customer service is very poor.

If I could give them zero stars, I would. I wish I had seen these reviews, similar experience, no follow through, no explanations, no ability to speak to anywhere. Absolutely appalling customer service. I will be raising a paypal refund dispute.

I ordered my shampoo and conditioner over two weeks ago and they have still not shipped my order and haven’t responded to my two follow up emails. aI tried to get a refund through afterpay but even afterpay hasn’t received a response from them. i’m getting quite frustrated and over it at this point.

Do not buy from this company. I think this must be a scam. Really disappointed that I didn’t read these reviews first. It’s been weeks with no notification of shipping and no products. I just have an email saying not to email them again, and if you do, your enquiry will go to the bottom of the queue. Terrible. Show details

Appalling communication. No accountability. Arrogant and demanding of customers, while taking absolutely NO responsibility for their poor treatment. I've made the mistake of ordering from them more than once. There won't be another time. It doesn't take more than NINE days to send one product. But you can't get an answer via email (and they tell… Read more

you that you have to wait anyway). They're so full of themselves, they refuse to help on the phone. They tell you to be 'friendly and respectful', while they ignore customers completely. Avoid at all costs.

They also can't even be bothered to check how to spell your name, even though it's right in front of them in emails.

Worst service ever, ordered three weeks ago no update on delivery, emailed them twice they emailed back after 8 days to say will send order in 1-3 days. Poor customer service, complete disregard for customers who trust them with their money. Many similar reviews, I bet they take our money and invest it in short term with no products to be sold and then refund after a month having earned interest on it!!

It has been 16 business days and I have had no contact from them despite their website saying they'll email you an update on your order if it's been longer than 5 days.

Quick to take your money. Same issue as last 3 reviews. Ordered 05/03/2026 and still waiting on shipping status to change almost 2 weeks later. Sent a follow up email 3 days ago, no reply. I tried calling them today, had to leave a message. Don't think I'll ever be ordering from them again. Show details
