I was so cautious of this site given some of the older reviews AND the deal seemed to good to be true — but less than 24 hrs after ordering picked it up from the Footscray store at 40% less than what Amazon has it for!! Maybe picking items that show as in stock/pick up available makes a difference, but would definitely use again. Show reply
Ordered a range hood and was sent the wrong one , I returned it to them and after numerous calls they won’t refund my money , this has been going on over 2 months

Great service and delivery – I had a good experience with this company. Fast delivery and the item was exactly as described. I was worried because of the bad reviews. But glad I went through these guys. Show reply
Poor communication – Ordered a baby walker months ago and still havent received product, Went to the site and it says it unavailable, whoever boris is needs to refund my full 49.99 back to my account
Biggest money hungry scam I have ever experienced – STAY AWAY complete scam, 100% scam, called me the day after my order, a $1350 Tv, I thought the call was a scam, saying she didn't have the tv in stock, no one did and that I needed to pay $400 more for a better tv. I made her prove it was them with the invoice number and my details. I called back the company from google to ensure it was them. I… Read more
said I don't have that extra money and asked for a refund. I then also emailed asking for a refund as I didn't want the more expensive tv. Then I kept emailing for 22 days, 22!!!!!! asking for my money back, to the point where I was threatening ACCC action, which I DID NEED TO TAKE. They refused to reply, until the 15th, 12 days after I threatened ACCC action, then replied and pretended they had tried to contact me (which they had not, no email, not phone call) and now miraculously "had the tv" I then continued to ask for a refund and no refund was given. still working on this on the 22 days in.. ACCC complaint. It is a scam.
Better than expected – I read some bad reviews here but I know many reviews on this site can be generated fakes. However, I was still wary purchasing from Countdowndeals. They had the best price for a Barista Pro and rang them first {no wait time} to verify their stock. I mentioned those reviews and the lady replied them being upset by these and it did not help their… Read more · 1
business. She assured me they could ship the coffee machine same day. I ordered and sure enough it was on the way in very quick time. Product received promptly in new boxed condition. A very good buying experience from them. Thank you.
Avoid this company – Purchased a microwave in early November of 2021. After a couple of weeks I’d heard nothing so I emailed them, the email went unanswered. I emailed again a few days after which also went unanswered. I tried calling 3 times over the next week or so and finally got through to [Name Removed] after my third attempt. I was told the item was out of stock… Read more
(website did not reflect this at time of purchase and still doesn’t to this day) and that it would arrive ‘next week’. A few weeks later I called again and was told the item would arrive ‘next week’ and would be sent out via express shipping. Fast forward to today - it is now February 2022 and I have asked for a refund and am now being ignored. I’ve contacted my financial institution and they are looking into the matter on my behalf. I wish I would’ve read the reviews here first as I would’ve avoided purchasing from this company.

Dishwasher – Placed order and within 10 days item arrived after travelling through 3 states, tracked all the way. Did ring next day after placing order. When shopping on line contact the company asap before or after placing order. Very happy. Show 3 replies
problem sorted – Initially, there was an issue with the microwave we purchased, but Countdown honoured it and replaced the faulty one with a new microwave to our satisfaction. Show details · 1
A Perfect Transaction Executed from Start to Finish – Purchased 16th May arrived 25th May from the purchase online to the delivery today Could not fault both the purchase and delivery. Outer carton in perfect condition, I would buy from this company again Show details · 1

suspect it's a fraud company – bought a microwave on countdown deals: 1. delivered 5 day later then expected. 2. microwave is not well packaged, someone has opened it. 3. microwave is fault, button 1-5 doesn't work 4. they ask me to send it back, I sent but they said not received 5. difficult to talk to them. managed to talk to them once, and they ended the phone call quickly. 6. no invoice (with ABN or GST) 7. Order #10917 order number seems very small?

Poor communication and service – Poor service and communication. I ordered an lg 665 litre fridge on 10 Jan. order number 10953 and got a message that the stock was getting ready for delivery. I rang several times (no answer) and emailed on Jan 22 about delivery date for fridge . I got an email reply on Jan 25 saying that LG no longer made a stainless steel 665 L and had instead… Read more
sent a black model. I rang and spoke with a woman to say I wanted to cancel my order as the colour did not suit my kitchen and we agreed on a refund after the Australia Day holiday . I confirmed this cancellation and refund via email, On 28 Jan I had a call from the woman saying that they had found a stainless steel fridge . I said that I had already cancelled my order and wanted a refund. She tried to tell me that we had not agreed on this on the 25. I repeated again that I had cancelled the order and asked for a refund and followed up with an email on 28 Jan . So far the refund has not been given to my credit card?? I should have read the reviews before buying from this store.
So sorry, We have sent you an emailed on the 29th… Read more

Telephone to check item is in stock before making a purchase – I ordered a Sharp Convection Microwave online on Sunday then belatedly checked the reviews on here. I telephoned CountDown Deals Monday morning to be told that the item was discontinued and that they would refund my money $932, Hopefully this will be done quickly but judging from the reviews on here I will probably have to involve my bank. … Read more
Anyone considering buying from them telephone first to ensure that the item you want is in stock before placing your order. Cross fingers my refund will be issued with no further problems. I will leave an update on here as to the amount of time taken to refund. UPDATE Emailed the seller on Tuesday received a refund the next day which cleared today Thursday.

Ordered an 85 inch TV, but I received a call saying it was out of stock. I had to upgrade $200 to get a new 2025 model. It was a great deal. The TV arrived after about 3 weeks as it had to be ordered. Delivery was excellent. Communication was an issue as they possibly have minimal staff on in store. Keep calling and they will answer. The TV is great and as described.

Still waiting for product, after 4 months – I ordered a mieli vacuum cleaner spare part in January 2024, and im still waiting. I was told that they're still waiting for part to come in. So I rang the supplier and they've got them in stock, and if they don't they reorder them and they're back in stock fairly quickly. So I advise anyone to stay away from them, as more than likely, you may not get, what you ordered.

This website is a SCAM – I ordered a De'Longhi deep fryer, but it never arrived. I haven't received any clarification about the delivery time or a refund for my order. The reply emails lack a signature, making it unclear who is responding, and the responses are unprofessional. The last email simply said, "no worries." I am filing an official complaint with consumer… Read more

Failure to fulfil and order made over 3 months ago – I ordered a new Miele powered vacuum cleaner head from this company over 3 months ago and it still has not been delivered. They owe me a $269 refund and have not compensated me for this fail to deliver order. They have never contacted me to explain any reason for the delay of delivery. I am now going to contact Consumer Affairs Victoria to have this matter resolved. Show details

stole money from the client – I ordered a Beko Ceramic Cooktop 60cm BCT601CG for $326.71 on 18/11/2022. However, even after waiting for 14 days, the product didn't arrive. Upon calling the company, an Asian lady informed me that they couldn't sell the product at that price and agreed to refund me. However, I never received any refund and didn't hear back from the company despite sending multiple emails and trying to call them several times.

Good experience – I found that they had the best price around on the air fryer that I wanted. I bought it and then panicked after reading some bad reviews. I rang the mobile number provided and Anna answered (on a public holiday) 27/12/22. She said that she would check the next day if the air fryer wasn’t in stock that she would provide a full refund as I chose… Read more
click and collect from their Footscray store. It was in stock and I got it the next day. I suggest if you find a bargain to call them first to check it’s in stock before purchasing. The staff were all very friendly.

Received my order as described – This website, as far as I can tell, is connected to the Foostcray Betta Home Living Store in Victoria. They are a legit business with a registered ABN.

I received the order… Read more
confirmation email and then nothing for about 10 days. I only knew my order had been dispatched when the tracking appeared in my Australia Post tracking app. Communication is really the only thing I can fault them on. Product arrived safely and is exactly what I ordered and works well.
