I am so impressed with the prompt service I received today from Angeli, she was patient and understanding. I had placed what I thought was Click and Collect order but somehow I did it as a delivery adding postage so requested a refund, which has been confirmed via email just now. Thanks again Angeli and House, amazing service. Show details ·  1

I Purchased several Bessemer fry pans recently. The 32cm pan warped slightly which on a glass induction top meant I was constantly chasing the handle. (annoying) I contacted the team at House with a video showing the issue and was promptly sent a replacement. I am very happy with the quality of the product and the back up service. A big thank you to Mark for his help. Show details

Bought the Baccarat GREEN STONE Ultimate Pan 32cm and after the second use and never using abrasive utensils the coating started coming off. I contacted House online chat and Eric solved my problem in minutes and sent out a replacement. I wish all customer service experiences were this straight forward. Thanks Eric, fingers crossed its not an ongoing problem with this stone coating. i've already eaten more than I wanted to. Show details

My granite set was purchased in 2017 and unfortunately hap worn on the rim, I approached the shellharbour square store and they could not help me without my docket, they recommend contacting Head office. Maryda reached out to me, as I had purchased multiple items she was able to help me. I love my Granite Baccarat saucepans , frypan's and extra large pots. I would recommend them to anyone.

Don't care about warranties – Still wanting for an answer for a faulty product they ask for the product I sent it and after 2 weeks I don't have any response or notification they just took it.

Had placed an online order in July. All items arrived and were great until my Baccarat Le Connoisseur oil bottle started to leak, daily, even when not in use. I contacted customer service online today and Razelle helped me and will be sending out a replacement bottle shortly. I'm so glad for this type of customer service in this day and age. Show details

I ordered a chopping board that was delivered faulty. After contacting House via email,Sheen replied informing me that a replacement was being organised and should be delivered within 1-3 business days. I was so grateful that a replacement was being sent without having to first go through the hassle of returning the original product. I am highly satisfied with their customer service and faulty product policy.

I'm giving five stars because I love House's range and quality of products. Unfortunately, a recent order was delivered smashed (obviously not House's mistake, but Australia Post's handling I would say). I contact House and replacement item was sent. The same thing happened! So I contacted House again and am receiving a full refund. I would like to thank Mark for his assistance in this matter.

I ordered two Alex Liddy Dinner sets as a new replacement to previous owned, which had express shipping and a great sale discount by House through their online Ebay storefront. I received them amazingly packed and in unpacking both found one side plate to have a large chip from the porcelen edge- given it was located middle of the package section… Read more

of these plates it was likely during manufacturing to packing and not caused by House or postage. I contacted House through the Ebay record of my purchase and within a couple hours I had a very lovely reply from Maryda who without further question understood the issue and had arranged with their warehouse to not only organise a replacement but had so proactively also processed and shipped it at the same time ensuring a very quick and amazing resolution to the damaged item! Thank you to Maryda, and House's internal policies that enable such wonderful and forward thinking customer service and personal interaction; and which in this day and age is extremely rare and refreshingly appreciated and not unnoticed! Thank you Maryda! :)

h2 hydro2 stainless steel travel cups from House stores – I bought 3 travel cups the past year, h2 hydro 2 brand from local House store. They keep liquids hot for hours and I love them, especially for work and in cold weather. However, the plastic tops wear away at the side from overuse, crack and break… Read more

when dropped. The cup is stainless steel and indestructible. I went back to the store where I bought it and showed them the fault. They told me they do not come with a warranty unfortunately, and they don't have replacement tops to purchase, which I would be happy to do. I went online and reported fault and was provided with a $20 gift voucher to replace cup, as a goodwill gesture. I did not have a receipt of purchase as I must've paid cash. I was satisfied with the prompt action and goodwill gesture. The company, HOUSE; should sell replacement tops methinks...

 Follow-up  · I notice the company changed its lids and I bought one. Easier to clean, a bonus and fits my old cups. Great job! Happy to recommend and love the improvement. Its only been about 2 months but so far so good!

 Follow-up  · Edit to answer a few questions - the fault was the inside part of the handle was ever so slightly loose. There was a teeny little wiggle, but I was concerned moister might get in under it. I contacted them via email and the lady sorted it on the spot and arranged a replacement be sent. I didn’t have to return the original one. The replacement was… Read more

Overall a reasonable shopping experience however my concerns with a purchase of a cocktail shaker were not great. I purchased the 3 piece Barcraft set found here https://www.house.com.au/products/barcraft-3-piece-cocktail-set-500ml This shows a silver stainless shaker in all the pictures . I read after delivery hidden in the details that it is… Read more

black and brass, but every image shows silver (picture 1)

I asked about this on chat and was given the following response by [Name Removed] (I am only mentioning her name as it was requested at the end of chat) "We have made every effort to display the colors of our products that appear on our Site as accurately as possible. However, as computer monitors vary, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any color will be completely accurate."

"If you have a moment, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your experience by leaving a review on productreview.com.au, specifically mentioning my name, [Name Removed]."

As you can see in the second picture not only is the design different but the colour cannot be misrepresented in a monitor.

I can live with the wrong shaker, however being treated like an idiot by customer service was one step too far.

I found limited flexibility from House in solving this and will reconsider using them in the future

I had a gift card for Salt and Pepper which was still valid but the codes weren’t working since the company started to close down and come under the management of House. I reached out for support and the store representatives at Salt and Pepper’s final existing store front was rude and unhelpful, suggesting that the money would be lost because the… Read more

“company was no longer operating” - despite standing in a Salt an Pepper store and selling merchandise. I was very irritated with this representative who refused to offer any help and would not connect me to any form of management, saying that “they aren’t available to the public” and the store no longer existed.

I reached out via email and Mark helped me get a satisfactory resolution. He was a great source of relief throughout ensuing me that he would find a way to help us resolve the issue so that I would not be out money that was gifted to us for our engagement. I’m grateful to him and the other people involved in assisting us.

I’ve been using my Baccarat cookware set for over four years, and it has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen—durable, reliable, and beautifully designed. Recently, I encountered an issue where the handle on one of the glass lids broke due to a spot weld failure. I reached out to Baccarat’s customer service, expecting a lengthy process, but I… Read more

was blown away by their response. Razelle from the Baccarat team replied promptly, informing me that she was investigating the matter. Within just a few hours, she got back to me with the incredible news that they would replace the handle free of charge, even after four years of use! All she needed was my mailing address to send the replacement. This level of support for a product well beyond its warranty period is truly exceptional and speaks volumes about Baccarat’s commitment to customer satisfaction. A huge thank you to Razelle and the entire Baccarat team for their professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care. It’s rare to find a company that stands by their products with such outstanding service. I wholeheartedly recommend Baccarat to anyone looking for high-quality cookware backed by a company that truly values its customers. I’ll continue to be a loyal customer for years to come!

I have recently been communicating with Mark over a warranty claim on a frypan. I have been so impressed with Mark, but also with the Baccarat warranty. It is rare today to have such a service that honours what they say and is so easy to do. This encourages me to keep buying Baccarat products. Show details

I had to deal with a couple of weeks of back-and-forth before receiving my replacement coffee machine, which was understandably frustrating. However, Ryan was fantastic throughout the process - always responsive, understanding, and helpful. The replacement will be sent within the next couple of days and I really appreciated Ryan’s communication and effort in getting it sorted.
