Kmart Web site is unstable, you put items in basket and they disappear and there is no longer a "Wish List". Advertise stock is available and after battling with the website you go to checkout and it is sold out. Sometimes it is suggested to check the stores - no surprise there is no stock there. Times are hard for retail, but do not downgrade your web site in the middle of a pandemic! My gripe is with the web not the stock shortage adult customers understand the issues. Not a fav anymore...
Kmart removed the Wishlist feature on their website, and has therefore lost me as an online customer. I prefer to browse through the kmart site when I have time to spare, save items into my personal wish list, then transfer the wish list goods into the shopping cart when convenient. I don’t have time to continually go back and forth through the website to relocate the items I wanted. I also prefer to buy multiple items in one transaction to avoid shipping costs.
When I contacted Kmart in early April 2022, this was the written response – “Unf...
Read moreortunately, certain features such as My Favorites and Wish List has temporarily been removed due to the recent website upgrade. These features will be coming back sometime in the future as we continue transforming our website in making it better for you”. Kmart, you are missing out on purchases until you bring back the wish list. I just don’t have the time, nor do I want to pay for shipping unnecessarily.
Thank you for reaching out! Our team is currently working on an update for this feature on our website, which will be made available as soon as possible. Thank you!

I've had issues with the Kmart website for a long time. I contacted customer support quite a long time ago as I couldn't save items into the Favourites/Wish List and I kept losing the items from my cart. My issues were referred to the technical support area but the issues were never resolved. I created a new account in hope that I would no longer experience the issues. Instead, the Kmart website now no longer allows for saving items in Favourites/Wish List and still I keep losing items from my cart. I just lost everything I had been adding over...

My two star rating is for while the website is difficult to use, if you do manage to place an order, I general have had positive experiences with receiving orders.Hi there, we are truly sorry about this. We are in the midst of upgrading our wish list so we'd like to apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Please bring back the wishlist! After the new website update , it takes much longer to shop which has put me off!
Hi Anju, thanks for reaching out! As we've updated our website, some of our features like our wishlist are currently unavailable. We're working on a new and improved wishlist function, so keep an eye out later in the year for this.

Know better, choose better.
Let me start by saying that I love Kmart in general, and have been a regular customer for years. But I simply cannot understand why they can not get their inventory correct when shopping online! Every single time I have placed an order, I choose the things that say are in stock, then go to checkout and half, if not most, items are suddenly out of stock. So, I remove those items, check out, then will immediately get notification that part of the order I did put through has to be cancelled as no stock. BUT. If I add those same items to cart only ...
Read morea minute later, it will let me check out those supposed out of stock items, only I have to pay again for shipping. What the actual hell?! For example, 3 days ago, I added 44 items to my cart and was only able to check out with 13. I have NEVER had so many dramas trying to shop online anywhere else. Why is it so bloody difficult to keep their system updated in real time like every other online store does?! It's gotten to the point I just can't shop with them anymore as online is a nightmare every single time (we won't talk about having to ship multiple packages at different times for the same order) and getting in store is tricky. So frustrating.Hi Britt, we're truly sorry for any disappointment caused by this! We regularly restock our product range to ensure our customers can get the items they love. Items may show as unavailable due to not ...
Read morebeing in stock at the same location as the rest of your items - the product listing shows availability at a range of stores, so when more items are added to cart the system will allocate a this order to the location with all the products available in one place. If not all products are available from one location, it will re-allocate the cart to a location with the most items available which is why sometimes items may show as out of stock depending on the other products you're trying to purchase alongside it. We've shared your feedback with our online team so we can continue to work to improve our product availability and online shopping experience for customers, and hope the next time you shop with us it's a much more positive experience.

Since last weekend can't log on or create a new account nor do a forgotten your email request.
Contacted KMart and was told it would take 12 hours to reset, but still not reset.
I ended up placing an online order to collect as a GUEST only to discover that the two main things I was ordering were actually not in stock even though my order went through and was charged.
Kmart - make sure your inventory is up to date or something.
Also, make sure KMarts are all stocked as I am sick and tired of having to go to KMarts that aren't local!!!

I love kmart, prices and quality is awesome but kmarts care for the environment is not ok. Tiny little items are delivered in a huge box. It's damaging to our planet.

Purchased items online; opted for click and collect at my local store; and even received a pop up telling me that as I lived within 5kms of the store, I could get quick delivery for just $5! I declined and stuck with the click and collect. But when I got the message telling me my items were ready for collection, I went to the store only to discover that KMart Online had delivered the goods to a store IN ANOTHER STATE! This despite the fact that my name and address were provided during the transaction, and even though their system had recognis...

I really like the Kmart product range but online shopping is a farce.
I found the product I wanted, clicked on it to buy and saw the 1 [product] added to the cart - but at the same time I received a message 'Please note - stock availability may change'. Huh? Rang the 1800 number to find out what this uninformative message means (the text messaging line provided on the website is disconnected!) Turns out that it translates as the item isn't available in my local store and I can only do a Click and Collect order at another store, the nearest bein...

I have email at least 6 times in regard to 3 orders all for the same items as they would not allow me to order the quantity I needed. Some of the orders came but no paper work so I could not work out which order was which. I still have 3 items outstanding and can't get a reply. Very very frustrating.

Customer service is uncontactable when placing online orders. They do not answer email requests for information and they are not contactable via phone. Very disappointing service from KMart, especially in these times when you cannot go to a store to make a purchase.

I've had generally positive experiences with Kmart Online in the past (except when ordering fragile items; expect most of them to be broken on arrival).
However, it seems they're being inundated due to the lockdowns and the surge in online shopping. What used to be a turn around of just a couple days between order confirmation and delivery, has turned into several weeks... with items being cancelled left, right, and centre.
I would avoid shopping with them online for the time being, if you can help it.

Very Angry unpleasant and abusive delivery driver. He called me when I was at the doctors and started yelling that my address does not exist ….would not listen to the directions I was trying to give him …Yelling that I don’t know how to write my address and don’t know where I live …because Google show him different …Finally he found my house and left the parcel under the carport for everyone passing to see
Lucky I was back home shortly…

Perfect that you end-up not releasing the pick-up logistics to that horrific third party that didn't accomplish with the privacy act but we are a bit far away from doing a 10 points work.
1) Regarding the pick-up on Retail.
The board to place your details on the pick up tables should be substitute by a tablet or digital device only accesible by the company workers. While they have to leave the table anyone can get the board, make a photo or easily collect any private information from the papers. See how they are doing on Whoolies, one worker ...
Books arrived damaged, slow delivery and products become unavailable after the purchase
After paying for my order online, I received an email saying that some products were not available, which was contradictory to what the website said. The delivery took two weeks as opposed to "5 day metro delivery". One of the board books I purchased arrived with a big cut on the cover.
Questions & Answers
I have place an order 2 or 3 days ago. And Still I havent received any order confirmation and receipt in my email. But I have been deducted in my afterpay account already. How can I check if order was really confirmed and being processed? And how can I track my order?
Mate, on the ground, KMart seems to be inflating prices and dispensing with human staff in favour of self-serve.
So don't expect much online help either.
But, to check your order : ...

Hello,
I placed an order online (items that are large).
I originally selected that the items not be left unattended upon delivery and rather that they are signed for, under the impression that said items would be sent together, and thus I would be able to ensure that either myself or someone else would be home on the day or at the time of the expected delivery.
*After* placing the order I was advised that it would be likely that each item would be shipped individually, dependant on what stock was available at each warehouse, which I completely understand. Although, I cannot ensure that either myself or someone else can be home to sign for said items on what could be potentially spread out over 3 separate business days.
Additionally, I do not particularly and potentially want each item to be sent back to the nearest Kmart store because no one was home to accept and sign for the delivery, only to have a refund automatically processed, when instead - any form of communication could be taken to contact myself to then organise the collection from the store itself if the delivery was unsuccessful.
Furthermore, I would then have to wait for the refund to be processed, placed said order again, and pay an additional $80+ delivery fee.
Am I able to change it so that the items can be left unattended rather than signed for?
