Very slow exchange time. Original order arrived within 1 week. I returned the items for an exchange. They have now had the returned items for 2 weeks and 1 day. I called today to ask where they were to be told they have been processed and will take up to another 2 weeks. Very unhappy with slow service. They clearly state that exchange will be processed upon return.
Tried to put an order through twice,called again to find out where the order was,phone staff are rude,unhelpful & dont seem to care regarding sales. I gave up & wont be attempting to purchase from them again
Follow-up · Staffs tone example- when asked about the order not being put through twice & not getting an answer as to if its on its way,i said "dont worry,i will try ordering it elsewhere. The telephonist said "oh im not worried mam,I dont care" The order was done twice,i dont know what caused it,perhaps no laziness or no stock and no communication. The… Read more

Injured by a faulty product and no support! – I purchased an automatic can opener for my elderly grandparents and to our horror, found it was incredibly faulty and dangerous and actually cut my grandmothers hand! i emailed weeks ago requesting support for this issue and even sent a follow up email and have just been ignored! Do not buy from this website as if something goes wrong- they disappear!
Awesome couch cover, looks pretty in the lounge room, protects the couch cushions.Highly recommend. Show details
I ordered a beautiful bedspread. It was out of stock. Should arrive in 2 months - 2 months later, advised it would be another 2 months. Did come eventually. Not quite the colour I'd expected - had more blue in than I'd noticed in the ad. But very happy overall. Show details
The toy came today and I was excited to use it. However when the thing popped my dog grabbed it. See photo of the out come after the first grab. Don’t buy waste of money. I will never buy dog toys from the internet again just plain rubbish
Adjustable Height Kitchen Stool – Not easy to put together, not sure if fit for purpose yet using it for my jigsaw table which is too high for a normal chair. Main complaint on the day of delivery the item has been reduced by $90, not happy. This has happened to me before when ordering from Innovations will reconsider buying from them again

I have no idea why they bother having a customer service team. For the last few years I have bought a new dress in a particular style. This dress is repeated every year, in different colours and patterns, usually brought out in August or September.… Read more
This year, however, all colours are low on stock, many having none at all in my size. I emailed to see when and if they'd be available. Innovations reply? We have no idea, it's up to the suppliers!
Since when do suppliers decide when and if they're going to supply something to a buyer? OBVIOUSLY a buyer at Innovations would know things like, for example, what they'd ordered from the suppliers, and I asked Customer Service for the contact details of a buyer who would be able to help me with my enquiry. I'd have thought they would automatically have at least liaise internally to get an answer, but they almost seem scared of any other Innovations workers, calling them “higher ups“ as if that means they can't be disturbed by enquiries from pesky customers!
If Customer Service provision depends entirely on what individual officers know, it's no wonder they're going down the gurgler.
Follow-up · Top follow-up questions readers have asked about your review: What about other styles? Did you try in-store? Any updates on stock? Other styles are irrelevant to this post, and I'm not sure why the confusion is there. My post is not about style, per se, it's about customer service not having a clue about stock/supply information. Same with… Read more

Tey are a great company to deal with. always the item(s) ordered arrive in good condition and within a few days usually, particularly when sent via Austrtalia Post.
As described. Arrived in good time. The wheels makes it easy to manoeuvre. Was easy to assemble. Haven't needed to use it as yet as the wet weather has eased up.
Recently purchased two sweaters from Innovations. One on sale, in blue, with long sleeves and detail on the upper front with a short zipper as well. Lovely and soft and perfect for chilly days. The other a short sleeve summery sweater with the detail on the sleeves. Again beautifully made and quite soft. Show details

I accept full responsibility for having being duped twice now by Innovations on-line shopping's slick marketing. I was keen to support an on-shore group but do your research and do shop around before buying from them. On this recent occasion Temu has the same item I bought from Innovations for $11 less. A stall at the Haymarkets happen to have… Read more
the item as well for $10 less. There were no dimensions of my item and the clever photography totally distorted the real size of the item. The item I received was at least twice smaller than I expected. They tell me I am a VIP member thanks to my past business but I still paid $17 for delivery of 2 items that probaly had the same weight of the envelope and bubble warp they were in. An abolsute rip off.

Ordered set of white nesting tables. Paint was flaked on white screws making them black in colour. One leg needed replacing. Pathetic communication. No customer service. First and last time I will purchase from this company. Show details
Awful experience there is nowhere on their web site to even leave a review anymore. Sharon in customer service agreed we cannot leave reviews on this product. To be clear the Day Date Wall Clock is so noisy I cannot be in same room - the factory has 2 battery compartments so one for date and separate loud ticking AA battery for time. I looked… Read more
at the 11 reviews all 5 star from 2 years ago. Anyway just warning they obviously had negative reviews so decided to block new reviews and sell off remaining stock.

model they sell, 4 tooth brush heads, travel charger and case , Enviro friendly concentrated ordo mouthwash& reusable mouthwash container All that for cheaper then shops sell the single top of the range brush for! 6 starts out of 5 would definitely recommend!
I wanted to leave a review, warning customers about the useless portable garden shed I purchased. Their written description was not what the manufactures description was. My complaint is that I was unable to leave a review, even though 10 other women had been able to favorably review the product.
I have been shopping with Innovations for decades now and without a doubt they are a fantastic place to shop for so many things. They sell a great range of products from household and garden items as well as pet needs, craft, clothing, shoes and entertainment. I am very happy with my purchases and can look around my home and see items I bought and have been using for many, many years. I can highly recommend Innovations. Show details
I am very satisfied with all the products I have purchased a good variety to choose from and great quality and price I would not hesitate to purchase from this company again
Solar Garden Fairy – I purchased 2 of these but weeks apart. I paid $39.95 for the first one and $19.95 on sale for the 2nd one. I am surprised they still have this on their website for sale because the lack of protection around it makes for easy breakages. Both of these were broken in 4 places but Innovations didn't hesitate giving me a refund. I posted the first… Read more
one back using a reply paid number they gave me but wasn't asked to send the 2nd one back. I can't complain about the customer service from Innovations as they have been very obliging.
Its very pretty and it suits my needs as a 4 person dinner set, which looks very nice and cheery on my table. The set was well packed, and had no breakages, the price was good also, I can recommend the dinner set very well.
Do not use them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – I recently purchased four products that seemed both interesting and useful. Unfortunately, upon arrival, none of them worked, and one even caused an electrical issue. When I called customer service, I was surprised to hear they claimed not to have an online presence, despite my online order. The representative I spoke with was quite rude and… Read more
quickly provided a complicated return address, insisting that I cover the postage costs, even though the products were faulty. This has been a disappointing experience.

DO NOT MAKE A PURCHASE – Made a single purchase from an internet ad and now apparently I have an “account” and receive catalogues in the mail, despite calling up and asking for catalogues not to be sent. Oh and my account can never be closed apparently. Don’t make a purchase, once these guys have your details you can never opt out of their marketing. And who know who they sell your info to.
Great service as usual – Great quality pillow cases and great service as always from Innovations people. I thought the bedspread would have pillow cases included...in the past this was the case, but they were here after two weeks of ordering.
Poor service – Have purchased from Innovations for years without a problem. Something has changed over recent months. Purchased portable storage shed that leaked. To return and get a substitute was going to take too long so paid for a second shed on 8/1/25 and 2 weeks later still waiting for it with no sign of it on the horizon. The next fiasco was a mini… Read more
chopper that arrived without the USB charger. On telephoning Innovations to have it sent out was advised it would take 4-6 weeks. I returned the item requesting a refund, which took 2 weeks. Never again.
Frusterated – I am still waiting on an order i placed weeks ago all they have is exusses after exucess as to why it hasnt been delivered yet once it arrives i will never ever ecer purches an item from this company ever again and will never recomend anybody purches itmes from this site
All good at this company – Have bought several items from Innovations over a year or so. Always delighted with my purchases,plus the speedy delivery and the caring staff on the phone. Tbe free gift is such a nice idea too! Keep up the great work folks!!
Very trusted seller – I ordered a small sewing machine, very reasonably priced. It was dispatched immediately arrived very quickly. Very securely packaged. The product is very good quality and the listed description exactly matches the product. I will definitely purchase again from Innovations.
Very pleased – Purchased home entertainment system. Just set it up and love it. Good sound and all works great. Easy to set up and looks good. Only disappointment I wanted the light coloured system which I thought I was getting but received darker one but all good still happy.
Beautiful selection of items – Very happy each time I have made purchases from Innovations. Lovely selection of items for all occasions. My delivery’s have always been prompt. Excellent communications with me regarding the delivery times etc. very happy, thank you.
