These guys still wont give up. Had another cold call from them today despite me asking to never be contacted again. We had an extremely unpleasant dealing with this company including broken promises and deception. We wont deal with them again! Show details
Not worth the money – Tried to sell 2 forklifts over a 3 month period, kept reducing my price but got no real leads. If you are going to charge this much you need to give us leads and not milk us for money every 1 month. Dissappointing
They advertise for Can Pack Machinery...the owner Paul is a crook...he takes your money and delivers dodgy machines – Don't purchase or enquire with machine 4 u. They advertise for dodge dealers like Canpack Machinery. Show details

WATCH OUT - SCAMMERS FROM AUTOTRADERS HAVE MOVED HERE TOO – I made an enquiry on an excavator thorough this site and was nearly scammed - see below email. The reason it starts about the skid steer is because they originally gave me info about that, then I needed to confirm about the excavator. Hi Noel, Thank you for your email, Yes sorry I also sold one skid steer, The Excavator has only 4990 hrs use,… Read more
the pallets with the equipment is included, I am currently near Devonport TAS in a military base, waiting to be deployed to New Zealand, I am doing a special training program every day and I am not allowed to leave the unit or call whenever I want, my phone number is 0489 928 590 - You can write me a message but I don't know when I can answer. My final price including delivery to your address will be $29,800 Inc. GST (Full Transport Insurance it's included - It won't take more than 3-4 business days to receive the Excavator). Because it's a bigger transaction, we will complete the deal using Escrow https://my.escrow.com/myescrow/includes/status/ Coz I already pre-arranged the whole process with them, Money will be paid through Escrow, You will deposit the money online directly to Escrow and they will hold and secure your money during the entire Transaction. Again, they will hold and secure your money until you receive the Excavator and will release the funds to me, Only after you decide to keep the Excavator and register it into your name. If for any reason (The Excavator has hidden damage or is not as described) You can reject the deal and when this happens Escrow will refund you in full. You can rest safe in the knowledge that Escrow is one of the most trusted and Secure Escrow Services across the globe. If you want to go ahead, please let me know your delivery details (Full name, Full address and Phone Number) In order to open an Escrow transaction and declare you as buyer, after which they will contact you and explain the whole process in detail. You should know that Escrow will contact you without any obligation to buy or pay some fees - The fees will be paid by me. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks, Hannah Chalmers
PS: I have attached a copy of my driver license so you will see who you are doing business with.
Because I have served in the military, I trusted this from the outset, until I searched 'hannah chalmers military service" and saw a host of reviews on this site about Autotraders.com.
And they sent a copy of a license of some poor individual (hannah chalmers) who I'm assuming has no idea this is happening.
Obviously I was very fortunate (nearly lost $30000). I have contacted Machines4U and they were rightly very concerned and offered to assist me, so can't complain about the service.
Good and Bad – Hi, I found machines for U to be a great site to use and navigate easily and also very prompt in reply and communication. One of their sellers however , leaves a lot to be desired. I made an enquiry on a pan brake folding machine with Asset plant and machinery in Dandenong Victoria. I asked about shipping costs for the machine which was listed at… Read more
4725 inc GST. I accepted the figure and ordered delivery . I was the told that the machine already had a deposit on it . 4 days later the same machine with identical stock and serial numbers was relisted at 5275 inc GST. If the seller had been honest and genuine I would have accepted that , but to conduct themselves in that manner was , in my opinion unprofessional in the extreme . I don't like being lied to and I'm certainly not alone in that basic requirement of good business practice . Cheers P.J.Holman
Machines4U offer the continued support behind the product that makes the difference – I have been working with Machines4u for several years now and they have always promoted our products effectively to a national audience and continue to grow and improve to stay on top. Matt and M4U have always taken on advice and even helped in creating previously non-existent categories for our niche market improving website traffic for us… Read more · 1
and them.
Our leads and enquiries that come from their site are quality, B2B and genuine and generate pipeline and sales which are easily trackable from the first recorded phone call and online logs.
Recently working with Matt has added to the experience. Matt gives good specific advice relating to adverts on Machines4u and doesn’t beat around the bush if I can be doing something better including in all other aspects of online advertising. He is a great account manager who provides data, insights and new ideas that assist our company Telford Smith Engineering both on and offline on a regular basis whether we ask for it or not. It is the support we get as much as the product that makes us choose M4U.
I can recommend Matt and Machines4u to anyone needing to sell equipment or machinery - but maybe not to any of our competitors ;)
Thanks to Matt and the team, keep up the great work.

Great machines but getting a cost on a item ???? – Well i have made enquiries for costs on a web site machines4u all felder listings are P.O.A Getting a price is awkward and long winded. Why!!! If they cant estimate stock or costs from europe then say so ! Some of their listings say "new " but mfg date is say 2018 ? Please update your adverts or you will loose customers for sure , the site once pressed the pay and list button.Thats it you can't edit or change anything except the price.hmmm. Show details
Promise a lot but it just ends up being lies – I was with M4U for a long time. Price went up and the leads suddenly went down and went down a lot! They seem to go through a lot of staff at M4U (4 x reps while they were trying to sort the mess out in fact) and kept again big promises to make things happen again but it never did We track every lead we receive and in the end the cost per lead was too high! Dont believe the hype and promises! Show details
Deal is not what been convinced and now getting better – I have been told that you average machine gets sold in 30 days and price was quoted Now it is getting better with improved services and I am waiting for results. Don't invest untill you know someone who sold! Show details

Great site. Needs more traction in SA – We are a new company in Adelaide. Selling a new to Australia brand of Excavator. We are impressed with the site and features. The staff are great (Shane F. is our rep and he is awesome to deal with) Would have got 5 stars but gave 4 as we haven't had epic results yet due to being in SA and a new company. Will review again in 6 months. Cheers Show details
Had a problem , Staff fixed it immediately – I had an EDM Wirecut and it was listed incorrectly. Lyndon from Machines4u fixed the problem as soon as he was made aware of the problem and the machine sold in just a few days. Sometimes things go wrong and with the quick outcome to have it fixed shows the value of dealing with a company that services their clients. Thanks Lyndon Victor Bray Show details
Quality – The photos are hard to see and cant be enlarged without dissapearing.Description of condition poor or non existent.Same with specifications.In most cases no phone number listed so email has to be sent and the sellers time iss quite often wasted. Same goes with no prices shown or POA.
