3 pack of shirts arrived with only two in the pack. Customer service was very hard to get to from their website,then required me to return the package in full for a replacement (if I had the time I would not be shopping online).
Terrible online experience. They were doing a paid advertising campaign on a product, I tried to purchase it at the advertised price, but couldn't. Customer service then told me I couldn't - despite them advertising that price on their own paid google ad. It's clearly deceptive clickbait and I am surprised a company like David Jones would… Read more
participate in this. Customer service was then terrible - just dismissing me and then ignoring me.
Don't buy with them online.
Long delay before shipping, website indicated parcel had shipped, AusPost website said parcel yet to be recieved from vendor and this persistent for days. Chatbot doesn't seem to work with Safari/Apple. Then chatbot (inside designed hours) would say no staff available and close down, that went on for about 2 days. When a staff member was finally… Read more
reached they were essentially unable to locate physical order and require additional 48 hours to "investigate" which was just a blow off. Wife's birthday missed.
Physical stores/staff still seem good but online experience is dreadful.

I ordered a Valentino Earring with swarovski rhinestone at David Jones thinking it will be the same earring i ordered from Valentino itself online, because collection point of DHL Valentino’s courier is far if i missed delivery. I thought David Jones would be easier. Biggest mistake, i received it today and it is FAR different from Valentino, it… Read more
wasn’t an earring, judge from the photos itself compared to the one i ordered from Valentino. I even checked both product number and they are not the same. Surely if theirs is from Valentino it would have the same serial or product number. I complained online but as usual you talk to a virtual assistant. So i went at David Jones and looked on their return policy. Well i don’t wanna go in the city, way too far from me, but if i return it online, i have to pay for the postage. Terrible customer service, and i am a regular customer. Please let this be a warning to everybody ordering online. Easy return? A total lie! And i ordered such an expensive item. I should complain David Jones to Valentino office itself for the kind they were selling their product. I enclosed both photos - one in the long box is From Valentino, the one in small box is David Jones, and i included also 2 close up shots of the earring from David Jones and one close up shots from Valentino and you will see the big difference. And DAVID JONES WANTS ME TO PAY FOR THE POSTAGE TO RETURN AN ITEM WHICH WAS THEIR MISTAKE! Compared to other known brands online, they offer free returns but not David Jones. Total nightmare! Please take note before ordering from David Jones online.
Ordered neutral light no, 5 Georgia Armani as have light skin, but received no.15 for very dark skin. Returned same day only to get it sent back saying your fault, not our problem. Never ever have I experienced bad service from David Jones, and to be lied to I am not happy and will never trust or buy from David Jones again. As you can see a… Read more
big difference in colour foundations I use. Never buy from David Jones, they are untrustworthy and do not care. Product was sent back unopened and unused as was incorrect colour they sent me. Can never use as I do not have black skin and giving wrong colour as I always have used light no, 5. So minus 10 stars to this dreadful company

I recently purchased a Charles & Keith bag from your online store as a birthday gift, however I am really disappointed with the condition it arrived in. The bag appears to have food particles/dust marks all over the suede material, and I had to spend time trying to remove them myself. Even after cleaning, some marks and particles are still… Read more
visible.
I was also disappointed that the bag was not wrapped or packaged properly when it arrived, which made the overall presentation feel poor for a new item purchased as a gift.
For an item purchased from David Jones, I did not expect it to arrive in this condition.
Lesson learned do not ever purchase from this store again. Worst experience ever!! Purchased a dress for a function with 8 weeks to event. Said dress never left dispatch and could not get an answer from anyone.. started asking for a refund and all you ever got was sms text messages but never spoke to a real person. Will never shop or purchase from David Jones again…
Ordered online - what a disaster. This is the third time its happened - David Jones do NOT try to help. I will never buy from the again online. I ordered a dress and shirts, they are supposed to send you a receipt of your order - it never came (again), i tried to ring them at 8.30 am - their "AI Elizabeth" said they dont open for customer service… Read more
till 11am but would i seek other assistance and i replied yes. It then sends you a link to their CONTACT US page but guess what - nowhere on this page can you actually contact them, there is no email, there is a series of FAQs but no link to follow up an order unless you open an account (who would after this stuffing around but too late AFTER an order anyway). They have a nice line on this page it says "For live support, please visit the Contact Us page on our website to connect with Customer Care." but we are already on that page and when you click CONTACT US - you come back to the same place. Interestingly it says customer care opens at 9.30am. These idiots dont have the customer interest at all. And when you call them (after 9.30) i gave up after 40 minutes as there is no callback feature. David Jones customer care doesnt exist! I tried again at 1 pm and the phone actually cutout after an hour! I DO NOT RECOMMEND DAVID JONES FOR CUSTOMER CARE OR ONLINE - DO NOT GO NEAR. And finally the customer feedback link - it doesnt have email either, they only accept it in writing to Level 21-22 Melbourne Quarter Two 697 Collins Street Docklands, VIC 3008 Australia They just want to make life hard - and yes they debited our funds from our credit card and have not delivered the items ordered over a week ago.....we live in same city as the store and we still dont have the receipt for the purchase
beyond frustrating. First, I ordered a striped shirt on sale and instead received a polka dot dress not in my size and with the wrong packing slip. When I contacted customer service about this, they refused to send the correct item until I returned their mistake. I returned the dress promptly, only to then be told (in a generic, unapologetic… Read more
email) that my shirt was now out of stock. Given that it was their error and the item was clearly limited in stock, I would have expected them to reserve it for me or send my correct item as soon I told them it was wrong. Only after I complained, they offered me a $25 discount code on my next order. So I decided to give them another try and ordered two pairs of shoes. My shipping confirmation that was sent to me a few days later only listed one pair, and when I asked them why, I was then informed the second pair was out of stock despite my payment going through days earlier. When the one pair they did send finally arrived, they were clearly in poor condition, looking worn and damaged straight out of the box (see photos).
My new shoes o ordered from David Jones online just arrived. In box and dust bag, only problem is… they’ve been worn!! The soles are dirty and there’s marks on the inside of one shoe. I had no luck getting any kind of response on their website so sent a Facebook message. I have to go through a whole lot of inconvenience to return them but it’s… Read more
okay because I’ve been offered a $10 gift card as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience. Would not recommend!

Buyer beware. This online business does not comply with ACCC consumer law. They think they can do this by using their own Terms and Conditions where it says they can supply you with superseded versions of the product. this also say they do not… Read more
warrant that information on their Website is accurate. They have sold & sent us a newer inferior, altered product that is different to the product’s details, Codes and batch type numbers shown on the label that they show & advertise online; where the older model advertised was what we wanted but refuse to replace or refund it, saying their terms and conditions allow them to supply newer versions that do not match the advertised illustrated version . BUYER BEWARE.

Absolutely disgusting, non-existing customer service from DJ online. I order an expensive Guerlain beauty set, and received a confirmation email with the picture of the product (same as the pic on the website). Today I picked up the parcel from the… Read more
Parcel Locker, and I was shocked by the big size of the box, filled up with packing paper, and in the middle there was the small box of the beauty set. But I've got a wrong set of the same brand, not the one ordered, nor the one pictured in the confirmation email, and the item number on the packing slip is wrong as well. Moreover, the received beauty set is not even listed on DJ website; I know because I check often their web for this brand. Contacting DJ is a nightmare, there is no customer service by phone, the live email chat is a joke, you chat exclusively with a bot, then you receive a txt on the phone that you will be able to chat by txt in 48 hours, really?? I check DJ policies for returning an item, and off course they expect you to pay for sending back the parcel, justified "as change of mind". However this is their mistake, not my change of mind!! Every online shopping brand that I buy from, if they make a mistake they apologize and send by email a return label for free shipping to be attached to the parcel, except DJ. I am appalled that this "mistake" from DJ is a constant issue, I read dozens and dozens of customers reviews who have experienced the same situation, receiving wrong items. I have purchased from DJ online for over 12 years, and had never have any issues before. It is obvious that DJ has decided to go cheaper, removing any chance for customers to contact them by email or by phone as it was before, and I believe that their online order departments and warehouses are managed by incompetents, inexperienced staff in order of saving costs. After reading from other reviews that it can take 30 days or more for the refund and the return shipping would be at my cost, (plus it would cost me time off from work to go to the post office!), I have decided to keep the wrong set as I love Guerlain brand. However, I will request from DJ the price difference refunded, because the retail price of the wrong Guerlain set I received is lower than the set I ordered. DJ is gone down the hill since the partnership with Latitude, an awful financial company. I will update my review if I don't receive a refund for the price difference and I will report DJ to the Consumer Affairs.
Follow-up · Update: After "only" 16 days DJ replied to my email, which includes all the pictures. They apologized and offered me a refund of 20% of the cost of the set, which I accepted, as it cover the cost difference between the set ordered and the one received (the refund was back on my card few days after). Moreover, in the same email DJ customer… Read more
David Jones footwear - UGG WOMEN'S Tasman SLIPPERS Price $179.99 Style Number 26823765 Serial Number 5955 made in Vietnam Badly designed and poor quality product. The 'sheepskin' used is of poor quality (not what we expect in Australia).… Read more
While the size/length of the slipper is accurate, the size of the collar of the slipper is completely unusable. In other words, there is no way of getting a foot into the slipper. I high recommend this product be avoided, and David Jones to improve quality control and product purchasing staff.
Follow-up · What was wrong with the collar? It was impossible to squeeze my foot into the slipper. Did you try a bigger size? I didn't need to try a bigger size the size of the slipper was perfect. How was the sheepskin poor? The wool was shedding! Because I am immobile, I was unable to return the slippers. Instead, I used sharp scissors and cut away the… Read more

Easy to locate item (food processor) and purchase. Good information. Several payment options. Extra 10% off already discounted price. Velocity points not added - have had to lodge a claim - still awaiting outcome. Arrived quickly via Australia Post (purchased PM Thursday arrived early AM Monday) Item was well packed and arrived undamaged. Would purchase from here again.
I have seen some negative reviews but my experience was excellent. I received my purchase in 2 days without any issues. I will definitely use David Jones online again.
DJ IS ONE OF THE BEST FOR ONLINE SHOPPING IMO – David Jones does not mess around when I place an online order with them. I placed my order and within hours it was dispatched, I had my beautifully packaged item on my doorstep the very next day having been shipped from Sydney to Melbourne. I will be doing most of my Xmas shopping with them this year!
Negative reviews
I placed an online order with David jones over 2weeks ago for over $200 worth of goods - I received one item from the order. I have tried contacting them to no avail. I would appreciate an update on my order
I order shirts online and they send me one with stain both under Arm and they never check it Just wast my money I don’t buy anything online from them anymore
I'd avoid the website and shopping here in general. My David Jones account has been hacked twice now, and these hackers have attempted to purchase $2k worth of goods. Luckily for me, I didn't save any credit card into the David Jones website or portal. The IT Security people at David Jones really need to get their act together or just get… Read more
sacked. There is no option to MFA on their website. They also don't allow special characters in their customers' passwords. It is no wonder that I keep getting hacked.
My advice to everyone is to just move off this David Jones site. It is so unsecure and dangerous. You could lose your identity and your credit rating.

Need to fix the filtering process by accurately tagging products. I was trying to filter knitware by 'wool' and 'merino wool'. The first product offered was made of cotton/linen blend. What's the point of the filters when they're not correct? How many non-wool products do I have to wade through? How many wool products won't be found because they're poorly tagged.
Ordered a pair of taupe-colour Birkenstock sandals ($317) size EU46 and while a parcel arrived within 5 business days, it was instead a black pair of sandshoes ($260) size EU45. Called the number (133357) immediately (today, 22 May) and waited 30 minutes to speak to a CSO, who quickly sent an email link requiring photos of the mis-delivery. It… Read more
sounds like they intend to wait until they receive the wrong item before sending the correct item, but it remains t be seen. Watch this space The original order date was 18 May, the (incorrect) item was shipped on 19 May and arrived on the 21st, so very quick processing and delivery - unfortunately of the wrong item. As I suspected, DJ's usual practice is indeed to wait until the wrong item is returned - they confirmed as much when their consultant said in a web chat: "In this instance.... we no longer require the item to be received by us before a replacement is shipped out." Despite this apparent concession, the wrong item which I returned by post on 23 May arrived at DJs this morning (27 May) at 7:30am, and they still have not shipped the correct item - it has been recorded in the online order system as "processing" since 25 May. There is no explanation from DJ and I can only assume that indeed they are waiting until the wrong item has been recorded back in their inventory before they take any action to ship the correct item, which they failed to do in the first place. Despite the written assurance they would not. I would recommend against ordering online with DJ when they treat their customers with such suspicion.
29 May, further followed up because the online order page showed that the order had been "shipped" on 27 May - and yet two days later, no notice from AusPost that they had the item. So I rang the Hornsby store and the very helpful and competent Jenny at customer service actually went and checked with their dock area, and called me back within minutes (Excellent service from Jenny - but not anyone else I had contacted) and confirmed that the item was waiting foro pickup. THEN the interesting thing - within seconds, the online tracking changed and showed "booked for delivery" - from which I gather that it had been forgotten, and had I not contacted the store directly, it would still be gathering dust. Overall, completely hopeless service. Don't use their delivery.
I am not very happy with the service. It was quite disappointing that they were unable to update my address after the order was placed. Unfortunately, there was also very little assistance from customer service regarding this issue. The contact details provided were very confusing, and even the store staff seemed unaware of the correct contact information when I visited to seek help. Overall, the experience was frustrating and unhelpful.
I purchased two Aveda products on line The total was AU$180. I was offered a bonus gift with the sale valued at $49.

The next day another email saying that the Bonus item was cancelled " Not… Read more

If you want to return your purchase, we can refund your money. "..... So... I ask you...is this appropiate??? I emailed them back.... " So..that is it DJ....no more purchases...OUT ".... They have lost me. I would not advise anyone to shop with them on Line...Very dissastified Customer....
M J Bale Claudio Peacoat. Very thin fabric, not warm, no good for winter, not worth the money. not worth A$699. Only worth A$299. This is the worst coat I have ever purchased
I had a very disappointing experience with David Jones Online regarding a return (Order 176468164). I returned a hair styling tool in good condition. David Jones declined the refund, claiming the item was “unsalable,” which I dispute. More concerning is what happened next — they advised that the item would be sent back to me and asked me to… Read more
confirm my address, which I did promptly.
Since then, I have sent multiple follow-up emails requesting confirmation of dispatch and tracking details. I have received no response at all, and the item has not been returned.
I am now left without both the product and a refund.
I have attempted to resolve this directly but have been ignored, and have now escalated the matter to Consumer Affairs.
I would strongly caution others when using David Jones Online returns, as communication and resolution have been extremely poor in my experience.
Bought an expensive designer item that arrived with no dust bag & it said this was included. Turns out this item is actually second hand. Disgusted & disappointed, I'm returning to the Queen St store to return this item & also return designer duvet/pillow cases that were meant to be top quality but are the opposite. Never, ever again shopping online OR in person at this suspect retailer. Avoid like the plague. Receivership is coming - no wonder!!
David Jones price match is a joke you send the links it takes 3 days for them to return the email by then most stuff is gone they u send the link they said its not the link can u read this ? I can I thin k they hope u just go away https://www.sportscraft.com.au/clothing/dee-stripe-shirt_120571-whitepurple
