Never received item – This company is a scam- over a month later I never received the chicken coop ordered. Communication is terrible, no ability to contact them by phone. They tried to blame AUS Post, but they investigated for me and found the item was never posted. I feel they should be reported to ACCC. Never have I experienced anything like this with an online order.

No customer service - scammers – Ordered an item from them, received a confirmation of order email and then nothing since. I have tried to contact them a Ross all platforms with no response. Couldn’t find a phone number for them. Worried it’s a scam website. Upset that I am unable to get my pets present from here as the item online looked perfect for him.

Nothing like I purchased – I purchased a scratcher from this company. The picture online is great just what I needed for my cats. When I received my scratcher it was nothing like what I ordered. You will see by the picture what I mean. I didn’t even attempt to put it all together as it became obvious it was nothing like what I ordered. Since then I have been going forwards… Read more

and backwards trying to get a refund. The supplier requires more proof and deems it as a change of mind so therefore it incurs penalties and they will not give me a full refund. While there are some great reviews about this company mine has been terrible and I urge you to read the terms and conditions. Think twice about buying from this company.

Appalling business practices – They sell rubbish that breaks when you unpack it and then they offer you a partial refund

Overpriced – Found same item I order on other sites for a third of the price. Tried to cancel within half hour but got an email days later saying it was too late to cancel.

Great place to shop, high quality goods! – Great selection of items, constantly being updated. Packaging and Handling has always been top notch. When you buy an item, you know it will last. Our cat tower is like new after over a year of intense love from 2 cats, Toys don't break, cat and mouse game works perfectly after 8 months, the longest we've had one last and it's still going strong.… Read more ·  1

Perfect website for all pet needs – The only negative thing is that sometimes, I cannot see the products and actually have to click on them, but other than that, it's an amazing website. Show reply

Don't! – Promising a lot but delivering zero with poor practices. Wish I had read the reviews before handing over $ Received a dodgy email advising that I may be charged re-delivery fees if my place wasn't accessible or if Authority to Leave wasn't granted. I advised place is accessible and ATL is fine. Received a tracking number which doesn't exist when… Read more

I contacted the delivery service - Couriers Please. Couriers Please had a dodgy link to a 'live chat' which was probably AI and they kept asking me to check the consignment number which was the one I was provided with by Direct to Pet. I don't expect to see my parcel or my $ Lodging a complaint with Fair Trading.

No correspondence – Product purchased. No delivery advise ever recieved. Multiple correspondence sent across different platforms all ignored. However this company continually emails me to purchase more products , but cant respond to emails regarding where is the product i have paid for. Complaint lodged with depth of fair trading . Do not purchase from this company .

Do not buy from this company – I have had nothing but trouble with this company since I purchased. I received no shipping information until I emailed and they said it was going to cost more than what I had already paid to ship the item. I sent emails that were ignored for days, I have asked for updates which have been ignored, the customer service has been shocking. I have… Read more

still not received any updates for my refund after asking many times for any sort of movement. I wish I had read the reviews before I had purchased anything from this website

No order confirmation, and no item – I ordered a cat scratching post Did not receive email with order confirmation number, which makes it impossible to track order 10 days on and no response and no order received. I have to agree with the other reviewers, this feels like a scam. Luckily have purchased with AMEX, so have notified them of the scam.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! – No way of making contact beside email which they don't reply to. Over 1 week and still item not even shipped. Contact numbers listed for the company are all fake. I wish I read the reviews before proceeding with purchase. Have lodged a dispute with AfterPay in the hope they can assist with the refund.

Buyer beware – This company will take your money, not send the item, ask for extra postage with a bogus excuse about the freight company charging extra for ‘certain’ regional areas. Then they will offer to pay 50% of said extra postage, and if you still refuse and request the offered refund, they will not refund your money or send your item. Great communication until you want your money back or the item you’ve paid for, then they ghost you.

Plastic dog ramp – This company leaves a lot to be desired. I ordered a dog ramp costing $200 and postage of $15. Was then contacted after purchase asking for further $50 for postage and they would pay half. I told them this was not acceptable and asked for a refund. Still waiting and I see from reviews they have done the same to others!!! This is totally unacceptable and I would not recommend this firm to anyone. Neither would I purchase from them again.

Dishonest Company – I looked at a room divider and put it in my cart to see what shipping cost it would be and consequently emptied my cart as it wasn't viable. I still kept getting emails saying I had items in my cart and would expire soon. I decided to check my cart but it went to checkout and the money was taken from my credit card.

Still awaiting for a refund – I ordered a dog bed on 30th March 2023 and paid $92.76 plus $15.42 for postage. I then received an email on the 6th April asking for $25.00 extra postage and they offered to pay half of it. So, I had paid $15.42 and was asked to pay $12.50 for extra postage. I have ordered many things before from the same area and have never been asked to pay… Read more

extra postage-especially after paying a substantial amount already. I cancelled the order and requested a refund. There was no reply to that request. On checking bank details there has been no refund. Another request for the refund was sent and still no reply.

I purchased another dog bed very similar to this one with someone else and no problems, it arrived in great time and I wasn't charged the postage nowhere near the original amount that I paid for that one.

Still waiting for a response to my request. Still waiting for my money to be refunded.
