POwer Planter Garden Auger – I purchase three items: a 2"X7" Garden & Grass Plug 207 Power Planter Auger; a 3"X7" 307 Bulb & Bedding Power Planter Auger; and a 3"X24" 324H Power Planter Auger. This device was a disappointment. When discussing the short falls with the supplier I was told that it was the way in which I was using the device. As an engineer who has had decades of… Read more

experience with multiple drive devices, I believe I have the experience to ascertain the optimum use and the nuances of the differences between the supplier recommended Dewalt 1/2" drill and an impact drill. The supplier did not want to listen to the method of use as to how I had optimised the use of his product and selectively chose to respond to the little he had heard. Sad waste of money, as the augers may have been easier to use in my clayey soils than the old fashioned post hole shovel and crowbar.

A benchmark of excellence – After purchasing the wrong printer thanx to google giving the wrong information, the forum direct team were outstanding in their understanding of my situation and the stress I was in, I payed the difference, sent me a new model and they organised a courier to pick up the original printer. I cannot be thankful enough of their fantastic customer service, I have already recomended it to my other business partners. Thank you guys

Good price, fast and free delivery – I usually go with Officeworks and get them to price-match the lowest price I can find... but this time there was a cashback offer from Brother which Officeworks weren't participating in. So I searched and found Forum Direct, who, when delivery and cashback were taken into account, were the cheapest. Checked them out here first to make sure they… Read more

weren't a scam bc never heard of them!! (Not a scam. *phew*) Was told 2 days to deliver printer. Ordered 10am, printer arrived 4pm same day (Brisbane outer suburbs). Very happy.

Pretty straight forward, arrived in 1 week – So i was hoping to get it quicker but really 1 week is OK. The thing which threw me was that in the process I thought an account was generated but it wasn't. I wasn't able to check the progress of the order which concerned me after a few day. The phone number for forum direct was a long wait (not surprised, i find that's pretty normal for… Read more

companies dealing with loads of customers) so i sent an email instead.

Reply to email was received in 24 hours (which i find more than acceptable) and packaged arrived was shipped and arrived by courier that day (perhaps just a coincidence).

Easily the best price i could find on the web for the item i needed.

So all up good transaction, and i can confirm that they respond to queries.

Very fast shipping for my bulky printer – Very competitive prices, think it was the second lowest on the online market for the printer I wanted, but forum direct were shipping from Australia. It arrived within the week, I ordered on Saturday night and got it by Wednesday - located within Sydney. Didn't have to refund but the product came in undamaged, worked perfectly well and exactly as… Read more

described on their website. I cannot fault the printer at all, pretty fast when it does duplex printing but the quality feels way better when you use 100gsm paper.

Excellent prices, unbelievably fast shipping. Too good to be true, but true! – Highly recommend Forum Direct. Bought a huge printer for $150 off the RRP with free shipping. It arrived the NEXT day. Couldn't believe it. It almost sounded too good to be true, but it was true. Thanks Forum Direct! My family and I will be returning for sure. Keep up the excellent service.

Why go to the shops? – It has been my preference to go to the shops when I want to buy things, particularly computer hardware. Looking for a new printer for my Linux (standard brand) box, I wanted a particular recommended brand and a model on the supported list. Most of the shops don't do this brand. The only one that did offer something suitable didn't have it in stock… Read more

anywhere. One possible model was priced at $338 (inc GST). I went online and found Forum Direct. They offered this same model at $220 (inc GST) with free delivery. There was a chat window available and I asked how long it would take to deliver. Response was almost immediate - 2 days. I went ahead. Within a few hours, I had a text from Forum Direct's couriers to say it had been picked up with a link to a web page offering tracking and alternatives to home delivery. Also it was going to be delivered next day. I live in a secure apartment block and there was an alternative to use a local delivery site which turned out to be my newsagent just around the corner. There was a bit of a glitch in making that change but the couriers were very helpful in sorting that out. When I came home this arvo past the newsagent, there was my printer. Fantastic service and price from both Forum Direct and their couriers.

Excellent Service - fast and good value – I was extremely impressed with this company's handling of my recent order. I purchased ink and paper for a canon photo printer (after finding them to have one of the best prices around once you factor in their free delivery). I ordered online shortly before lunch on a Thursday and received my order through the post about 24 hours later. I don't even live in a big city so most online orders take at least 4-5 days to come.

Next day delivery, great prices – I wanted an HP Colour Laser & found the model I wanted. Searched for a while & many stores didn't have this new model I wanted. Was apprehensive as usual to use a new supplier, Forum Direct but their website was clean, easy & tracking codes quickly available. They were significantly cheaper than other suppliers with free delivery & the printer arrived the next day. Very happy.

Efficient, ergonomic and prompt delivery! – Was told to expect delivery in 3-5 business days, but showed up the same day of order! Is cheaper than nearly everywhere else for genuine print consumables and they often do specials, like free delivery on any order, reward points like Flybuys were you can get $30 off even first order upon sign-up and even had flash sale of iPads for $50! Lady said they do generic sometimes as well for cartridges, but only if you ask...

My mistake – I received my Brother printer promptly and thought certain parts hadn't been delivered in the box. When I spoke to forum direct, they were prepared to supply replacements. As it turned out, the mistake was mine. I remain impressed with their service.

Fantastic service – I ordered a laser printer at 10am and it was delivered at 5:15pm the same day. Admittedly I live I the Melbourne metro area. You can't beat service like that. Fantastic!

Does not keep stock on hand - orders after you have paid – Whilst the webpage looks professional, it is important to know that none of the products listed as "in stock" actually are. In fact, the store owner waits until you have ordered and paid, then orders from their supplier. As such, it can take weeks (rather than the quoted 3-5 days) before you receive your item (if at all).
