Poor customer service – I returned a faulty baby monitor. Communication from baby city was non existent without continuous chasing. Almost a month later I have no feedback on when a replacement will be shipped. Extremely dissatisfied Buyers beware
bad product, slow service and still awaiting refund – purchased a portable cd player for around $95. batteries only lasted a couple of cds so i sent it back and they sent another (i sorta thought at the time that it wouldn't be a one-off fault but all models the same). the next one was also faulty. sent that back. had to send about 20 emails to ask for refund on 2 x postages and still, after 9… Read more
months, haven't received the initial $95 i paid. they kept telling me they were sending it until my paypal guarantee run out. pls don't buy these products (i think it was gpx). they are no good quality!

Great Service – I’ve been looking for replacement battery for my Garmin G8 Approach Golf GPS for ages and only option was an import via Amazon for about $ 100 (ouch) that included a special screwdriver and plastic wedge to open it up. I thought it was the battery and I came across a listing for the very same battery from Gadget City. Call them to see if in stock… Read more
as I wanted it for a golf weekend (first one after lockdown) Told it was not in stock but after they checked their supplier in Perth, all good and will take a few days to get it over and only $ 30. Although it might not be the battery and turn out to be the Garmin itself and be as useful as a fishing line sinker, I needed it within 5 days, so asked if I could come and collect it and would they be able to put in the battery. No worries, provided it did not require soldering! I take a punt and order online. and get a call within 36 hours … now in stock. I could not get over there until today and I even had a follow up call a few days ago. I went over today and met a really accommodating and genuine kid called Metin. By the time I went over to Maccas across the road to get a coffee and returned, Metin had the battery installed and Garmin was like brand new again. He even offered to sell me that same installation kit mentioned above for $ 6 …. Brilliant service from 1st phone call. I walked out with a smile on my face. Now if only I could give “10 STARS” …GREAT JOB METIN
Instant service response! – I found the online store relatively easy to navigate through to get what I wanted [a replacement battery for my ZTE mobile phone to replace the original which seems to be failing]. I read through all the description a few times and cross-checked. OK. Ordered, paid through Paypal and received the replacement in good time. It didn't fit, being about… Read more
0.5 to 1mm difference in length. Prepared my request for a return label via Paypal, and before I had completed this, but after preparing the email to GC, I had a call from 'James' at Gadget City. He determined that the battery I had ordered was actually a small milliamperage bigger: should probably have been ok but obviously wasn't. A refund was immediately initiated, and the provided battery could be 'ditched' as uneconimical to send back. I was unable to asses the quality of the product; my review comments are about the service provided by Gadget City, and I have to accept a measure of responsibility by not noting carefully enough the very small milliamperage difference. Thank you to Gadget City and James, whose manner was pleasant, understanding, informative and helpful.

Great online store – I have bought several UHF CB radios from Gadget City over the years (for different cars) and never had any problems They are a great company to deal with, and their prices are always pretty decent. I definitely recommend Gadget City.
This item is what I've been looking for – I found it a pleasure to do business with this store, despite being sent the wrong item the first time around. Within an hour of emailing them about the problem, I was contacted and informed that the correct item had been dispatched. No questions asked. I was also sent instructions on how to return the incorrect item. I received the replacement… Read more
within 24 hours of my first email.
I have no hesitation in recommending this store to others. I will be shopping with them again without hesitation.
So Impressed – Excellent service and price. Ordered a rechargeable battery for my Telstra Handsfree phone on Sunday, and received it on Wednesday. It cost me $7.88 with free delivery, compared to the $29 + postage I paid to a rival company for a battery that didn't fit the phone. My fault I chose the wrong battery but, sheesh, the difference in price??? Highly recommended. Show details

Poor Customer Service – Purchased Mobile phone battery replacement online ..Delivery super fast..Right Model number given to Gadget city..New one won't charge ..Rang both Landline numbers to store..Rang out no answer.. Rang Voice mail Mobile number..Recorded message busy now your call is important will call you back asap..2 Days..No call back...After Covid i would have thought Gadget City would be happy for business again..
Deceptive Company - shop somewhere else – Ordered a battery for my drone on 22 March. Aus Post tracking number provided. Checked numerous times and finally rang and spoke to James Bay who asked that I wait a week as there may be delays at Aus Post. Finally rang back on 9 April to be told by James that the battery was not even in Australia yet. They were waiting on it arriving here… Read more
and would then fulfill,orders. I clearly explained around 31 March that I needed the battery by Easter. Who provides tracking numbers for something that hasn’t been mailed? Totally deceptive practices by this company. Do not deal with them.
Such rude customer service – Really rude reaction from staff member when contacted to ask to cancel an online order - his reaction was completely unnecessary. Started calling me a derogitory name. "karen" thinking it would insult me, instead it made us laugh so much. Wouldn't shop here again but thanks for the laugh James. My teenage daughter and I enjoyed the Monday morning entertainment.

Incredible Customer Service – We purchased a baby monitor online through Gadget City. After receiving it, the microphone on the camera did not work. After contacting them by email, they quickly sent through a return label to send through the non working camera and replaced the camera all in under a week! Super impressed with the service and the ease. Not their fault the product wasn’t working and were so easy to deal with to get a replacement. Thank you so much guys!!

Order Updated - Cancelled – I've been waiting two weeks for my order. So I decide to check the Order Update email, and it was saying the order was cancelled. I was assuming the update was to indicate the order was shipped. But no, it was cancelled. No reason given. So I've waited two weeks for nothing, where I could have just purchased the product for a couple extra bucks… Read more
from a local retailer. Why don't you put ORDER CANCELLED in the email subject heading. Ridiculous. Once bitten twice shy, I won't be using this site again.
Fast service when needed – We have a troublesome neighbour and ordered a G1420 surveillance system in order to catch the neighbour out. We have had police once with no evidence to provide. Asked Gadgetcity for fast delivery with reasoning and got the item fast with no extra cost. The system works fine and is suitable for what we want, so for us a big thank you to… Read more
Gadgetcity. By the way, at the time, Gadgetcity were best price. What more can we say. Update: One of the cameras failed and I wrote to Gadget City with them asking me to send unit for Technician inspection. The unit was deemed faulty with a new one sent to me with the guys at Gadget City being polite and helpful. Again, great service. A hint to knockers; email your issues first and in a nice manner and you will be looked after professionally.
