Went to the Brunswick store to buy a new phone. Got amazing service from Natalie who helped me with my phone but also with a better plan deal that has saved me a lot of money and given me peace of mind when travelling.Amazing customer service
I am extremely disappointed with the way my Apple product warranty issue has been handled. When I purchased the product from JB Hi-Fi, I expected the retailer to stand behind the product and provide reasonable after-sales assistance if a warranty issue arose. Instead, I have been referred back to Apple and left facing a potentially month-long… Read more
wait to have the problem resolved.
I find this extremely frustrating and unacceptable. As the retailer that sold me the product, I expected JB Hi-Fi to take some responsibility for assisting with the warranty process rather than simply directing me elsewhere.
It gives the impression that customers who purchase Apple products from JB Hi-Fi are disadvantaged compared with customers who purchase directly from Apple, where the level of after-sales support is considerably better.
I bought a Segway scooter with a 5 year… I bought a Segway scooter with a 5 year extended warranty. In its first year it failed 4 times. Each time I took the scooter back to JB HiFi to get it fixed, each time it took 3 to 4 weeks to be returned to me, and each time it failed within 3 or so weeks of getting it back. It's been +- 4 months I've been… Read more
dealing with this still no resolution. 6 weeks ago they said they'd replace the scooter, but still nothing! I'll never buy a thing from them again!

I initially gave a 2-star review, before getting the issue resolved. I was still upset due to the miserable Good Guys experience. I have changed this toa 5-star review. I ordered a 98" and 75" TV in-store on 22/12/2025. The two TVs were delivered today, 02/01/2026. The 98" TV had clearly been opened before, the manual was missing, the cord was… Read more
used, the stand was scratched, the batteries were already in the remote. I didn't fully unbox the TV or test it as I wasn't willing to accept it. As soon as I noticed that the product packaging was already opened I took photo and video evidence. Clearly I had been delivered a second hand TV. I did contact the JB HiFi store it was ordered from and they did order and delivery a replacement which was new 1 week later without fuss.
Very good Customer service from Rome of the Prahran store, State of Victoria. Very good selection of stock. Show details
Terrible After Sale Service - JB HiFi Staff Lies and Don't Help at All for Warranty Claims – Terrible After Sale Service - TCL TV - Very bad after sale service. JB HiFi staff (Mount Druit NSW) lies and don't help at all. JB HiFi Warranty claim team said TCL support team tested the TV for one whole week but could not identify the issue, so no issue at all. I brought the TV at home, and TV is still malfunctioning... pausing/hanging,… Read more
automatically changing apps while the remote is lying on table (so no button pressed e.g. automatically changes/switches apps between Prime video to Youtube and NetFlix to youtube, somtimes gets stuck or navigation keys stuck. I called TCL TV warranty claim support, and they confirmed that they didn't receive the TV and JB HiFi team tested it. Now JB HiFi say they cannot do anything because the warranty time has passed, and suggested to contact TCL if they can help. Don't recommend JB HiFi at all.
DELIVERY MISMANAGED - NOT following what's written on the TV box by Manufacture – We bought a Samsung 65 inch TV from Castle Hill store. Its Clearly written on the box TV should be carried by 2 people and should not be puled or dragged.(see attached) However the The Toll Delivery company sent only one person. Day 1: Delivery Person came to deliver the TV, but he could not take the tv out of the van and he left. Day2.… Read more
Different Driver came, Since its too heavy for him He was flicking the TV upside down from the van and dragging the TV on the road and foot path. then to the house.
1) Why JB Hi Fi is not instructing their delivery contractors to follow the manufactures instructions written on the TV boxes. We are coming to your store to buy the TV and we expect the TV to be delivered in good condition. 2) Toll, Delivery Company also Not following what is written on the box and sending only one person and dragging the tv. This was loaded by one person in to the van and delivered by one person. Mishandlings the TV can damage the TV.
I am hoping that JB HI FI will read this review and take necessary action to fix this issue. due to data issues I have only attached small part of the video

------WARNING ------DO NOT BUY FROM JB HI-FI BUNDALL — APPALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE Our experience with JB Hi-Fi Bundall has been absolutely appalling, particularly the way our complaint / warranty repair was handled by store manager Chris. Our Nespresso Creatista Plus developed multiple faults from new before eventually failing completely. Rather… Read more
than taking responsibility for resolving the matter, we were repeatedly told the store’s “policy” was to repair it. When the machine was eventually returned to us , after 5 weeks ..... it was in an unacceptable condition , damaged and accompanied by a service report stating that no fault had been found.
We sought further assistance and were met with what we considered an arrogant, dismissive and belligerent attitude, with seemingly no genuine interest in resolving the problem or listening to our concerns.
Most concerning, when the brand itself suggested that a Return Advice could be raised, Chris refused to do so and continued to insist that JB Hi-Fi’s policy was to repair the machine. That response spoke volumes about the attitude we encountered.
We have never experienced such poor customer service from a major retailer. After spending several hundreds of dollars on a product that developed repeated faults, we expected reasonable assistance — not resistance, dismissiveness and an apparent care factor of zero.
The matter is now before Queensland Fair Trading regarding our consumer rights and the way this matter has been handled.
We will never purchase from JB Hi-Fi Bundall again. This experience has completely destroyed our confidence in the store and its management.
If you are considering purchasing from this store, I would strongly suggest thinking about how you might be treated if something goes wrong with your purchase.
I buy mobile with jbhifi with sim plan and hading a issue with network and they cant help me out with this problame it s very annoying and shitt service Dont buy from here Show details
The worst service experience received from a retailer store. Jbhifi Loganholme from management terrible example for the employees. I purchased an iPhone 17 still under warranty and has had ongoing issues. After multiple visits to Apple, the phone was assessed and a significant fault was identified, requiring a logic board replacement. Apple… Read more
approved the refund. JB Hi-Fi initially agreed to refund me — then a particular manager who I had dealt with previously changed its position.
This is no longer just about a faulty phone. It is about consumer rights, accountability and what feels like a power play rather than a genuine attempt to resolve the matter.
I have experienced intimidation when attending the store, which is completely unacceptable.
Apple themselves have put a complaint against the store and management on my behalf. This they did themselves as they are shocked to know the mistreatment I’m receiving. Very unprofessional
I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking JB Hi-Fi Loganholme to comply with its obligations under Australian Consumer Law and resolve this matter properly.
I will not be intimidated, bullied or pushed around nearly two weeks how disgraceful
Consumers have rights. I know mine — and I intend to stand up for them.
Jbhifi I suggest you train your managers on how to treat customers and the way I have been mistreated unprofessional.
I have an online platform Tik Tok Live @theresezu you are welcome to share your complaints on there Mondays Fridays 7pm. As consumers we have rights. As for professionalism. That needs to be improved .
Purchased DJI Avata 360 drone for $1,619 on 1 August 2026. Parcel contained a keyboard. Visited Indooroopilly store 6 August to reject the goods and demand a refund – manager refused, said warehouse investigation needed. This is a major failure under the ACL. Filed a formal complaint (Case Ref: # 4918673) and issued Letter of Demand. For a… Read more
high-value item, I expected immediate resolution, not delays. Avoid mixed online/in-store orders from this location unless you are prepared to fight for your statutory rights.
I purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro and JB Hi‑Fi Extra Care because I specifically wanted protection for a device that would be used by my 10-year-old son at school. Before purchasing, I asked whether the cover included accidental damage, wear and tear, and issues arising from normal use. Based on the advice provided, I purchased the extended… Read more
warranty until 2028.
When the Surface Pro later developed serious battery issues (only 30 minutes battery life) and screen pixel defects, my claim was rejected by SquareTrade. I then contacted JB Hi‑Fi Indooroopilly, where I was told I had "misunderstood" the original advice. Promised follow-ups did not occur and I had to chase updates myself.
The final explanation was that the battery may be faulty, but repairing it could risk damaging the screen, so the claim would remain rejected. This is not what I expected when paying for extended protection.
I feel misled about the coverage provided and disappointed by the lack of support when I needed it. I have since escalated the matter to the Queensland Office of Fair Trading.
Very disappointing experience.

Very disappointed with JB Hi-Fi Indooroopilly and the way my issue was handled. I purchased a Spacetalk Adventure 2 watch for my son around 10 months ago, and despite having an extended warranty, the store refused to replace the faulty product. The watch has stopped working, and the customer service experience with the store manager on 18/07/2026… Read more
was extremely disappointing and unhelpful. When a product is marketed for children’s safety, parents trust that it will work when needed. Unfortunately, both the product reliability and the support provided by JB Hi-Fi have fallen far below expectations. I expected better customer service and support from such a large retailer.
People joke about JB staff for being alternative and rude, but I've only ever found them to be friendly every time I've been there. Very happy with the mouse I got too, Great work JB. Show details
Long time JB customer. I prefer instore buying so I can pick well. Lots of variety and great quality, great customer service maybe its because they know me and I have money to spend anyway I have never had an issue. Recent purchase in ear phones. Top brand. Very pleased. Show details
I bought a music cd online from jbhifi for the first time and the process was very easy and i got a cd I've been looking for for ages thanks jbhifi Show details
Don't pick up behind Elizabeth St, Melbourne as you can get trapped by Delivery drivers in a single lane who are dropping off or picking up stock and staff who are too busy trying to serve customers. I've waited for over 40 minutes for my item after I spoke to the staff.
This is my amended review. I jumped the gun on an issue with jb hifi before contacting them. They were helpful in refunding the difference on a tv marked down $300 dollars a couple of days after I’d paid a higher price. They have (at the time of this review) a 14 day window where you can request the a refund or gift card. So, 4 stars, not five because it’s been a lot of bother. Show details

I've just bought a replacement printer from JB Hi-Fi Ballarat, and I want express my heartfelt thanks for the wonderful personal service received. I had gone first to the Canon website, wanting to stay with what has been a reliable brand. From there… Read more
looked at two local stockists (Officeworks and Big W). Neither local store could be contacted directly - as I wanted to go into Ballarat, I sought to find out if they had the item in stock. So I rang JB. First plus was that I got through to the store, and a helpful staff member ran through some options. I drove to the store, talked through options and ordered and paid for a new printer (it would have to come from Melton). Advised two days later that it was ready to pick up, and it's now plugged in and working. After the frustration with the other stores, I was almost in (happy) tears at JB. Maybe we are lucky with the staff at Ballarat. If so, please never change! We bought our new laptop here last year too, and will be back for our next purchase. Personal service is a precious plus.
Follow-up · Follow-up answers: - in-store payment was easy by credit card - staff did not explain setup, because I didn't ask. It was explained well by Canon, and went ahead without a hitch - the pickup notice was clear. As I think I explained earlier, I live out of town, and I was on my way in to Ballarat when JB rang me to say that they would have to get… Read more
I was in JB Hi-Fi at Macarthur Square and I popped in because I was having issues with my security camera with the SIM card (4G Uniden SIM card enabled camera )... possibly being corrupted .After conducting a few tests and by a process of… Read more
elimination I was pretty sure that I would need to change the SIM card. I spoke to Grant who had looked after me the last time I was in the store (with excellent service and advice !! ) and without any hesitation, problems or issues Grant changed the SIM card immediately. I then reprogrammed the camera which then successfully became operational showing live footage and storing images as well. There has been no error messages or video issues since we replaced the SIM card and I can only thank Grant for his professional can do attitude and fuss free attitude in resolving my camera problem. This was just a repeat of how he looked after me when I was in the store the last time... very much appreciated and absolutely fantastic !!...he should receive employee of the month or at least be rewarded and acknowledged for his great customer service skills .....and is definitely a valued member of JB Hi-Fi Macarthur Square. So if you require to purchase anything electronic , electrical , phones or advice and or service you can't go past JB Hi-Fi at Macarthur Square... speak to Grant or any of the other knowledgeable team members in-store.
Follow-up · Just a follow-up to my Uniden 4G camera which is still working perfectly...

unreasonable time frame for this to be resolved. Manager refused and was completely unreasonable and told me that they shipped a new Xbox to us days ago funny that they told my hubby the exact same thing last week and we are still waiting! Was never asked if we wanted a new one or given any options just told we are getting a new one ! Spoke to fair trading they advised me to put a complaint in for I have an every legal right to a refund ! This is the worst experience I’ve had from any retail company nothing but frustration! Once bitten twice shy ! I’ll definitely be going back to Domayne they know how to look after their customers!
Follow-up · When we got the call that the Xbox was back staff told us it was a brand new Xbox .. we check it out and any fool could tell it was a refurbished Xbox demanded a refund straight away and after almost 3 long months we got our money and went to Domayne and purchased a brand spanking new Xbox . The funny is I was warned by many people that JB HIFI… Read more

Hi We would like to say a big thank you to the fantastic service Sebastien Ramage provided us for our dual I-phone purchase. Initially, we were chasing two I-phone 17 Pro phones which turned out to be unavailable, but he helped us source two 17 Pro-max phones in the colour we were after.
Scott from Mandurah WA store was fast efficient, and ordered instantly my request with home delivery this week at a discount. We are most impressed with Scott’s sales knowledge and ability. Thank you Show details
Went into the Westfield Mt Gravatt store to grab a new phone. Went smoothly thanks to the very proactive and friendly staff. Cheaper in person that via Apple, and got the screen protector applied for me. Strong recommend.

Got earbuds from them and got the extra warranty, the mesh inside the earbuds disintegrated and they now don't work properly, can't get them replaced instore anymore and have to send them away to Melbourne to check them now.

One of the worst shopping and repair experiences I have ever had. After this experience, I would never buy an ASUS laptop again, and I have completely lost confidence in JB Hi-Fi. I bought an ASUS laptop from JB Hi-Fi for my son when he was starting high school. It cost nearly $2,000, so this was a very significant purchase for us. My son later… Read more
accidentally dropped the laptop. I want to be completely honest about that. The laptop was still working, but the lid was not closing properly. I took it to JB Hi-Fi for repair and paid approximately $280 to have the problem fixed.
When the laptop came back from the repair, the lid was closing again, but the laptop appeared BENT. My son noticed it immediately and kept telling me, “Mum, the laptop is bent.” We raised this concern, but it was not accepted.
Only two days later, the touchpad physically sank into the laptop by approximately half a centimetre. This problem had NOT existed before the repair.
We took it back again. This time, they accepted there was a problem and sent the laptop away for another repair. When it came back, the laptop appeared even more bent. Again, we complained about it.
Then, while my son was simply transferring his files back onto the laptop from his hard drive, the right-hand side of the touchpad sank down AGAIN.
So, for the third time, we had to take the laptop back to JB Hi-Fi.
I was told that because the problem had happened again, the laptop would most likely need to be replaced. I also made a formal complaint to JB Hi-Fi, but I did not receive a proper resolution.
Eventually, I went back to the store myself and was told that ASUS/the repair technicians had assessed the laptop as being bent and were now asking for approximately another $750 to repair it.
This was extremely frustrating because the laptop being bent is EXACTLY what my son and I had been reporting since it came back from the FIRST repair.
I then asked the JB Hi-Fi Altona North manager to provide me with the technician’s written assessment or the communication explaining why the laptop was considered bent and why I was being asked to pay approximately $750.
I was told that this communication was between JB Hi-Fi and the repair company/technicians and that they could not provide the emails to me.
I purchased a pair of headphones same day delivery from and ended up with an empty box…. I had to contact customer service but they did not bother to reply. I contacted the store and they said it was too late to mail out a replacement. I had to go into store and get a replacement and then remind the salesperson I deserved a delivery refund… also their recruiting process sucks Show details

**Title: Local staff tried, but 3+ months with no working projector or repair date** I purchased an LG HU715QW 4K UHD Laser Ultra Short Throw projector from JB Hi-Fi Port Macquarie in November 2022 for $3,477. The Australian launch RRP for this model was $5,799. The projector had already required a warranty repair previously. At approximately… Read more
3.5 years old it failed again. The fault is intermittent but repeatable: it starts normally and displays an image, then the picture disappears and the unit shuts itself down. From cold it can sometimes operate for 15–20 minutes. Once the fault has occurred, restarting it generally results in another shutdown within only 2–3 minutes.
I raised the matter with JB Hi-Fi as an Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantee claim rather than simply accepting that the manufacturer's warranty had expired.
I want to be fair to the staff at JB Hi-Fi Port Macquarie. They have been polite and appear to have genuinely tried to get the matter resolved with LG. That is why this is a 2-star review rather than 1 star.
Unfortunately, the overall after-sales outcome has been completely unacceptable.
JB Hi-Fi opened the repair case on 23 May 2026.
It is now September.
After more than three months, I still do not have a functioning projector.
I still do not have a confirmed repair completion date.
I still do not have a confirmed ETA for the required replacement part.
On 7 September I was finally advised that LG is prepared to repair the projector free of charge, but that a required part apparently needs to be sourced from New Zealand.
Nobody could tell me when the part would arrive.
Nobody could tell me when the projector would actually be repaired.
After already waiting more than three months for a resolution, being asked to continue waiting for an unspecified period is not an acceptable outcome to me.
I have now lodged a formal complaint with NSW Fair Trading and am seeking a full refund rather than agreeing to an open-ended repair with no timeframe.
After my projector failed I also researched the HU715QW more closely. I found other owners reporting premature failures, black-screen issues, random crashes and repeated repairs. One particularly concerning report involved another HU715QW of roughly the same age as mine which had already undergone two warranty repairs before developing another fault.
I am not suggesting those reports prove there is a systemic defect with the HU715QW. They do, however, add to my concern about continuing indefinitely with further repairs to a unit that has already required a previous warranty repair and has now failed again.
Products can fail. That in itself is not why I am writing this review.
My complaint is what has happened afterwards.
This was a premium product. It had already required a warranty repair. It failed again after approximately 3.5 years and more than three months after lodging my consumer guarantee claim I still have no functioning product and no date by which the proposed repair will be completed.
The local JB Hi-Fi staff appear to have tried and I want to acknowledge that.
But as the customer, I purchased the product from JB Hi-Fi. I should not have to spend months waiting while the retailer, manufacturer and repair network work out between themselves how and when my product might eventually be fixed.
More than three months to arrive at “we'll repair it for free, but we don't know when” is not a satisfactory after-sales experience for a product at this price point.
I will update this review accurately when the matter is finally resolved.
NO PRICE MATCH. False advertisement. JB Hi-Fi’s advertised price-match policy is a complete farce. They claim they will match the price of an identically stocked product from a legitimate Australian competitor, but in my experience, they will look for any excuse not to honour it. I spent 20 minutes on the phone before attending the Hoppers… Read more
Crossing store, specifically confirming that they could price match the product. I was clearly told they could, so I then drove 20 minutes to the store. Once I arrived, Steve, the store manager, suddenly decided they wouldn’t honour it.
Steve was rude, contradicted himself repeatedly and didn’t appear to understand exactly why he would not honour the price.
Don’t advertise a price-match policy if your stores can simply disregard it after a customer has already confirmed it by phone. It feels misleading and is a complete waste of customers’ time. I’m sure this is not legal?
Save yourself the frustration—go to The Good Guys instead, where you’ll receive better service.
