Essential Mall

Scam Website – I have purchased 1 item from their website Essential Mall Australia and i purchased for $28.70 NZ but they charge me $98.25 NZ and I've yet to receive any invoice through my email. Try many time contact them by Email no one reply. Please do not trust this company. They are scamming.
Zero response to post-sale query - Twice i have had an order issue and twice I have had no response – I will not be using this company again as they do not respond to any post sales queries. The first time they sent the incorrect product (I submitted a query 4 times with no response) and this second time, the perfume I ordered is either a dud product or a fake (again I have received no response to my query I have submitted).
Positive reviews
Original Product – I placed order and received original product and received within time limit. i am happy customer of essentialmall. good purchase and totally satisfied with product because i am afraid of fake perfume but this is original.
Excellent!!!!!!!! – i just can not stop myself buying things from the site and I totally recommend this site, good quality and good price!!!!!!! and they post to new Zealand in a week only, and the package has well organized, i'm so happy to shop with Essential mall! i recommend this to my friends, they also like this site so much as i do. and they guarantee the quality of their products, which made me feel so comfutable shop with them!!!
Awesome – I totally recommend this site. In today's world of internet purchases I like many was apprehensive about my internet purchase. Within 10mins of completing my order I received a call on my cell phone fron Anil one of the team to confirm my details. Ordered on Sunday and on my doorstep Wednesday !! How awesome is that. Personal service, follow up support if needed and speed of delivery Nil, nothing,

Worst Internet shopping – In stock usually ship in one day..., took them 2days to email back to me to conform, then another 4 days to ship. 18days after still not received. Now weekend and it won't make it to my boyfriend birthday. I have been planning this for ages. Not returning my email. Worst Internet shop ever. I'll never use it again and recommend others not to do. … Read more
Well at end I canceled my ordered and got refund. Funny thing is if it's on my way like they said how can they refund me before I return their product???? I think they never send it to me. After 3 weeks never seen product then they refund......
Bad service
What customer service? – I must edit this review as the product finally arrived, if only their customer service was better, then they could have saved a lot of these problems. I still stand by what I say regarding their correspondence. Just a note to Essential Mall, who I know will come and read this. Thank you for delivering the item. Please please please, sort out… Read more
your customer service. All it takes is an email or phone call to let someone know where they stand with an order.
I have sent many emails regarding this product to essential mall, to receive one brief email in return, and phoned them with no response whatsoever. Every single day I am phoning them and emailing them trying to get some response from Essential mall. They say on their web page to leave a phone number if you want them to call you back, which I have done numerous times. I'm starting to wonder if they even bother contacting people and trying to organise some help with orders. I bought this as a 21st present the date has now passed, and I could give my daughter nothing for her birthday as I'm still waiting on this product or some communication to let me know what's happening with the item ordered. It is still sitting in my account with processing after the order. Item was exactly as described. One very happy customer to finally receive it. Thank you
Overcharged – After charging my credit card more than the advertised price I was informed the item was out of stock. This company needs to ensure items are in stock before charging for them.

Excellent! – The best international shopping experience with genuine products, nice prices, same day dispatch, superb delivery, customer service response, everything. Truly recommend this site to everyone. The best. Not just saying it, experiencing it :)
Amazing puschase – I´ve just received my purchase (order 1380972757) in my house. Perfect packing. Perfect delivery. Faster than I expected. My first and successful purchase. Now I´m a loyal customer of Essentialmall and I´m gonna make the best propaganda here in Brazil. I hope Essentialmall gonna get lots of brazilian costumers. RobertoYD Perfect
Excellent Shopping – I was happy with my products as one of the Items I ordered was for a gift. It arrived before the time frame which was excellent. We were both happy with our items. I would recommend the store to my friends and family. I went a store to get the perfume that I order and they said that they didn't stock the product any more. I was so glad that I found this item online. In expensive
Really happy Customer! – I went looking for a signature scent that my husband loves and while I was looking I was thrilled to find my own perfume which is really hard to get locally. I was so pleased with the excellent savings on both that I also purchased one other item, again with awesome savings. When it came to delivery, I sent an email to check on the ETA as I have… Read more
been burned by other untrustworthy sites before. I was delighted to find that my parcel arrived the next morning, exactly as promised and I also received a prompt and very kind email response. Professional and easy to deal with. I will be back many times I'm sure! Everything was as it was advertised with no hidden 'surprises'. Great savings and quality merchandise.
Very Happy Customer – I ordered some French Perfume in a particular purse size spray size that I couldn't find in Australia any more and nor could I find it in duty free in UK, HK or Melbourne. 6 days later I have it! Apparently shipped out of Sweden with Australia Post delivering here so I am amazed. Speed of delivery Surprised not to be told surcharge for PayPal until I was about to pay.

Happy New Customer! – I recently discovered Essential Mall. I was impressed with the pricing, speedy service and low postage costs. My items arrived today. They were as purchased, very nicely packaged and just exactly what I wanted. I am a very happy new customer. Thanks for the great service. I will shop with you again. Reliable and affordable for luxury items.
Great Service – I ordered my favourite perfume at a great discounted price. It was dispatched immediately to Australia. Unfortunately when it was cleared by customs and sent to the Australia Post delivery warehouse, it was somehow lost. But after contacting Reza via email, it was located immediately and delivered to me the next day. Great customer service !!! Great customer service and products
Very Happy Customer – After seeing my Clarins skincare products on special (41% off) I ordered the products during a weekend, which arrived on the following Thursday...a very speedy four working days. I got a little surprise on my credit card of an extra $2.89 as an Offshore Service Margin, but with the savings I made, this is one very happy customer.
Great Customer Service – I placed an order via the web site for gents frangrance for my husband for Xmas, but I unfortunately typed the incorrect PO address on order. Received an email telling me couldn't be delivered but was given choice for re-delivery or refund. Hopefully will receive it in time for Xmas, but if not, my fault!! Easy on line site
Fast Delivery – Although they ran out of one perfume that I ordered, they sent me the remaining of my order and also refunded the money for that item immediately. They have excellent and fast customer service. I ordered at the end of the week and early next week I could receive my whole order. The prices are reasonable and strongly recommended. Fast delivery and fantastic customer service
Exceptional Service!!! – I ordered 3x ~100ml and one small bottle of mens fragrance for myself - so it was a significant order. 2 items were restocking my favourites as they had ran out. Ordering process - nice and simple and my order was acknowledged promptly. Approx just over a week my order arrived - and to my disappointment one of my fragrances (unbeknown to me at the… Read more
time) had changed their formula for the scent and I didn't like it anymore!
So I emailed Essential Mall and they were very helpful - they simply said return the item to their store, and they gave me the option to choose something else. So I found something I liked, and ordered it.
Popped down to the post and sent the item from NZ to AU, and emailed tracking codes to them. Next day they sent me tracking codes for my replacement item!!
about 4 days later - I got the box, and not only was the fragrance I ordered in the box - but they also sent me an additional item as a gift.
How good is that for customer service!!!
Extremely good prices - my products were cheaper than strawberrynet - which is where I normally go... Customer service - excellent.
Happy Customer – Ordered bottle of fragrance from these guys at a very good price. Was emailed when fragrance was in stock. I placed an order via the website. Took about a week for it to get delivered from Sydney to Melbourne. All went very smooth. Highly recommended and will definitely buy from again. Great price for designer frags eParcel can take a while to arrive
Overall great service – I purchased a 50ml cologne from Essential Mall. The order went through smoothly and payment was accepted with no problem. After a few days they contacted me to tell me the item was out of stock. Disappointing but i do understand that errors happen especially when a company has hundreds of orders to send out everyday and hold no grudges against… Read more
them. They offered another item instead and i happily accepted. Overall very good! Nice range, smooth checkout and payment Out of stock however they exchanged for a different item and i was very happy.

Terrible – It is a con. I strongly doubt that this is a legitimate business. I guess a warning sign is the lack of phone number on the site. I suspect they hope people will just write off the money that they spend to a learning experience. I won't be doing that. I ordered a watch 6 weeks ago. It was apparently shipped a month ago. Still not here. They… Read more
responded to my first query saying they would check and get back to me, but have not. They're now ignoring my emails. Am going to have to complain to the bank and hope they will reverse it. Will also complain to Fair Trading - reading the other reviews this is obviously pretty standard behaviour for them.
Quick and easysolution to gift buying this Valentine's Day – Yeah, this place was able to deliver to me in time for Valentine's Day, so I'm happy and my wife's happy. I didn't actually have the opportunity to go out the stores after work or during work hours. The price seems comparable to store bought anyway. Quickly delivered
Very impressed! – I am usually sceptical about buying products online, but i found Essential Mall to be very trustworthy and helpful. For some reason P.O. Box addresses could not be used and the customer support team were very friendly and helpful through the process of changing delivery address. Received another when the package was sent to ensure i was up to… Read more
date with the changes and have since received package in good course.
Many thanks, and i recommend Essential Mall to anyone and I will be likely to use this website again in the future! Effective, appropriately priced, helpful
Great site – gave me 50ml of cologne i was after that they didn't stock which i ordered for free. Payment that was made for that ordered was refunded inexpensive, reliable

Very satisfied – I have bought what I wanted from EssentialMall.com.au over 3 times now - every time placed order without any problems and order arrived within 3 to 5 working days - brilliant. I wish all internet shopping was this easy. Next time I go and look for other products on there. Thank you.
Great service, fantastic products, great value for money – I have been purchasing products from Essential Mall for some time now. I have always found the Essential Mall team extremely helpful, delivery was fast, and the products genuine. I highly recommend Essential Mall to anyone looking for a great range of products, and great service. Great choice of products, great service and follow up.
Great site – As a repeat customer I find Essential Malls site easy to navigate, products are clear and simple to view. Prices are excellent and order was processed and shipped as timely as always. I will definitely order from you again and recommend you to friends and family.
Great range of products and good prices! – I managed to find exactly what I needed in the range of make up and perfume with a much better price than retail stores and other websites. The shopping process was very easy and the service very good. I had my products in 7 days as it was promissed. Will definitely keep shopping from this site :) inexpensive, good service, reliable
Hard to find perfume are made easy with Essential Mall – I'm thrilled with Essential Mall. I wear older and difficult to find perfumes, and I am delighted that they pretty much always have the things I want. Perhaps once in five years, a particular size of something wasn't in stock, but that resolved itself quite quickly. I am just so happy to be able to obtain the scents I wear, let alone with such stellar customer service and ease in ordering. Superb!
great and helpful – I knew what I wanted from Essential Mall, ordered it with no problem but it took 10 days for it to arrive. This was due to the parcel being lost at Reading Depot (UK), however staff at essentialmall contacted the Depot directly and had my parcel delivered to me. I guess if I didn't chase up my order it would have taken longer than 10 days for it… Read more
to arrive. So the product itself was fabulous and I appreciated their true service but it's important to track your order.
Thank you
Sunny product range
Excellent service – I have been purchasing items off essential mall for sometime now.

After changing my details I was able to easily continue to purchase the items I needed. Reliabity Absolutely nothing
