Don't go with this company – Ordered a washer dryer combo from make it mine was approved and paid my first payment. After a couple of weeks waiting for the product to arrived I called and was told it would be sent out withing 24-48 hours. It wasn't so I called back to be told someone will contact me with the tracking number and an update. They didn't so i called back again to… Read more

be told its out of stock with the supplier. I asked to cancell the order and get a refund of they two payment I had already paid. Mad a complaint and was told the cancellation was processing. Then email again to see how it was going to be told it will be done within 24 hours and the payment will be processed to my bank. When I contacted them again they said it's hasn't been completed and will be completed soon. Absolutely shocking service from this company. The team have no idea what they are doing. Give out the wrong information, and just lie to you. I have been with rental companies before and have never been in this position.

Love this company! – After reading all of the below reviews, I completely disagree. Make It Mine have assisted me when I was unable to afford to buy a product outright. Every customer service person that I have spoken with has been so friendly, polite and easy to deal with! 5 Stars! Show details

Perfect – I ordered my new laptop and decided to pay the rest of it off. They were fantastic about it. They didn't have the one in stock I bought which was a shame, but they offered the newer model.plus a 1T hard drive to cover the lesser hard drive size. I had checked when it was to be dispatched only to have it rock up.the next day! Very happy with my new laptop Show details

Terrible service and product – I bought a pram and capsule from Make It Mine. They were both steelcraft. Not long after using them we started having issues with the pram. It’s brakes won’t work, it’s making a clicking noise and the wheels get stuck. I contacted the supplier who told me I need to speak to make it mine. Which I did, they had no idea what they were doing. They… Read more

eventually said because I’m Tasmania they need to collect the product and send it to Melbourne to be looked at. I contacted them over a month ago now and in that time have at two times for them to come collect the pram. Both times no one showed up. I got a text last week to say last week to say they have been trying to contact me... had not received anything. I called back and they said there were issues with their collector and needed to arrange another time. I said no worries to which he said okay so we will call you back when we have a time..... it’s been a week and nothing. Literally at this point I just want a refund so I can purchase a pram locally. They have told me they won’t do this, they need to look at the pram and either repair or replace it. I honestly don’t want this, I have found the pram to be flimsy and almost cheap like. I have a newborn baby and no pram at the moment which is so hard especially at the moment. Also we aren’t made of money with only one of us working at the moment and can’t just go out and buy another one without a refund. I’m very disappointed with the product and service. I will never use Make It Mine again after this nor buy Steelcraft.

Not worth it – I ordered a gift for my girlfriend and paid 17 dollars for 2 day air shipping on 8 am Thursday and I’m not receiving my gift until Wednesday. 4 business day compared to the 2 business days I paid for. I contacted them to refund my shipping atleast, but they said they can’t do anything about it. Show details

you go to reference person and say they have to pay as the cliant didnt – some one from your company went to someone who went reference for someone to get a phone now that person is way overdue on payments and you tell e person that went referance for them that they have to pay or they will have a bad name and i dont have receipt so cant prove im not a spam

Have made 5 weeks worth of repayments and still no product delivered!! – I needed a laptop for homeschooling through this covid crisis, i found a laptop i liked through MIM, I applied for it, was approved and then paid a 200 dollar deposit the next day. The following week i made my first repayment, the week after i made my second repayment and still no laptop, so i ring them. I will give credit where credits due,… Read more

customer service is always friendly and they try to help. The girl i spoke to was super apologetic and couldn't understand why noone had contacted me or sent the laptop, she looks into it and discovers that laptop is the end of the line and stock is no longer available, get a offer for another one, out of desperation i accept and im told it will be dispatched immediately and send urgent via express post. This week i will make my 5th repayment following my initial 200 dollar deposit and i STILL dont have a lap top, i am furious and over it. Ive made a couple of successful purchases through MIM in the past but this has done it for me...i will never use MIM again. I will also add that they are continuing to advertise the end of line lap top as available through MIM.

Most unprofessional company to deal with – Ordered a iPad over a month ago now and they have taken payment twice but claim they don’t know where my order is and still waiting for details from the post or supplier, every time I call someone tells me something different and pretty much give you a dead end. They have been extremely frustrating to deal with and I will not be ever again Show details

Was lied and misinformed from word go save a month of stress and hassle do not use this business – So my old samsung dies and i decide to rent to own phone from here the process was a hassle as i originally wanted the s20 samsung phone model and was told no you can only be approved for pretty much last seasons phones with a limit of $10 less then what i actually applied for so found thats a disappointment in itself, i was ready to shop around… Read more

when i decided the s10 phone isnt too old and reviews seems good on the phone itself so i order a black samsung s10, i get a message from MIM saying everything set up phone ready to go after first payment is received..okay then... so i now learn i dont get the product until first payment is received which was still 7 days away and that they will only be just sending the product on that day that first payment was made and delivery could take up to 10 days so in total thats 17 days waiting to receive this phone and 2 fortnightly payments that they will receive for something i still havent a phone!!!!!... so im still paying for a new phone i have yet not received which after adding up i learn will be four payments before the phone is here i just pay them in fortnightly increments so after having that annoy and bug me i receive numerous messages saying do alternate order now so we can process... so now im thinking what is going on here... i contact them asking whats going on they say just an error everything is still fine at this point money was due to be taken out the next day for first fortnights bill and phone was meant to be sent that day i received tons of messages saying order is finalised now payment received and order is dispatched etc and track number if available will be sent to you i never received one..so after sending a few unanswered messages someone finally gets back to me and says no all good just a mistake on their end order is done so i relax and start getting heaps excited i can finally have contact with my loved ones during the coronvirus my phone will be here in few days as its day 8 after counting down the days and buying things for new phone some accessories i get a message yesterday... sorry kylie your phone is out of stock but we do have an ugly green coloured one if you want it call and we can sort it for you or you have to wait for the black one and they even tried to sweeten it by saying and kylie you dont have to pay any extra for the same phone in different colour... um yeah gee thanks and what the ... i have been getting misinformation and lied too... you messaged two days ago that my phone was packed and dispatched on its way constant messages that was reassuring me with misinformation, lies and deceit they obviously knew they didnt have any in stock and they certainly well knew they hadnt yet sent it so why state to me it was dispatched on its way.. after sending them message saying no i wanted the black and why misinform me etc i would of paid for the upgrade to s20 due to their mistake they offered me nothing zilch zero... but an ugly green coloured samsung phone at the same price but thats expected to pay same price for same product without being said or mentioned to a customer.. i ordered other stuff on the same day from a tattoo online shop in Melbourne on the same day money was finalised for this samsung phone and due to be sent and got delivery from Melbourne EAST YESTERDAY so i know posting time is not an issue and yes im aware of delays due to coronvirus but ive received numerous deliveries 6 days after order so they are actually going good with deliveries which makes it even more suspicious as to why my phone hasnt yet been sent with a tracking number so im extremely annoyed to say the least and they didnt offer upgrade i would of even paid the difference for the s20.. quick note... i just got email saying someone will contact soon and then also received a message saying phone is now in dispatch again on way to my house so im just not holding my breath i wish i never ordered from this place next time i will go radio rentals or rent 4 keeps again at least you get product straight away.... so feel totally annoyed by getting misinformed and feel like it was lies as they knew they didnt have item in stock why send messages saying item was dispatched extremely unprofessional in my opinion and im taking it further as i really relied upon that phone during this pandemic if you want or need anything quick do not rent from this place as not professional or even decent in my opinion they offer no problem solving or try to work with customer to give them a better deal due to there mistake instead they try to give customers something they wouldnt be happy with a lower price product etc or matching product in different colour no one wants thats why they have so many instock i want my money back and never want to deal with them again ok rent 4 keeps lets go you legends best place to rent highly recommend only seen this on facebook thought id give them a go biggest mistake ever MIM you are SCAMMERS you never had a black samsung s10 instock and you knew it you only had the green lets see if you can explain this one to fair trading I always save messages and emails you are 100% being reported and i suggest everyone else report them also no words such a disgrace especially during the coronvirus shame on you.

Do not believe them cheaters! Cheaters! And cheaters! – I am writing this review only to help others who are trying to find about this company online. I have been contacted by a Punjabi girl telling extremely convincing about a sim only plan. They are perfect cheaters and skilled manipulators. This is evident in the fact "How she got hold of my "4 digit pin number". She said, "It is OK even if you do… Read more

not give this". Subsequently they "Upgraded the plan to a "I phone 11 plan", and dispatched an I phone to my address.

I tried my best to stop this. Calling Vodafone as well. Now, they sent me a bill of $144.

They are sinners and rank number no cheaters.

Please do not trust and believe them.

Not impressed. Avoid! – Set up direct debit for payments. Im sent a reminder when payment is to be made, fine. But the payment sat all day in my account and did not come out. So I rang them and am told that I was set up for Centrepay - interesting considering I don’t have Centrepay, nor am I on centrelink! Staff assured me this was now rectified. Confirmed correct bank… Read more

details and ended the call. Two weeks later. Same thing! I had manual bank details this time so sent payment through manually. The next day I had 4 phone calls while at work because payment not received due to Centrepay payment not honoured. They’d racked on multiple fees onto my account because of this! Once again I explain to the customer service staff that I do not have Centrepay. Once again confirmed my bank details are correct and also that they did receive a manual payment - they did.... Did they remove the fees from my account? No. Fast forward 3 months later and every fortnight this is still happening. I get harassed with phone calls about why I havent paid yet something in their system is the issue or perhaps the staff aren't doing what they’ve told me they have? Its causing me so much anxiety and on top of that, I’m getting charged $21.90 a pop every time this happens for something that isn't my error! Avoid this company at all costs. It also took 6 weeks to receive my Apple Watch!

Price of a iPhone 11 is $1,470.85 and they want $116 in 26 fortnightly installments. Total cost of $3,016? You're joking – DON'T USE 'MAKE IT MINE' use Afterpay or Zip pay etc. You're better off using your money else where then paying more then the item your wanting. I definitely do not reccommend! Show details

Love my tv's and my new phone. Highly recommend this company – Started a no interest contract to purchase a bundle and have had no problems with the order. Next order arrived earlier than expected and in excellent condition. Would highly recommend MIM to others in the future. November 5th 2019 Update: The best! I like how the products can be bundled and payment plans are cheap and affordable. Buy, rent it or layby, either way you will be satisfied. Great customer service too. Show details

Laptop has never worked properly it's stuffed not even a year later they didn't want to hear about it. Only cared about money. Will never use them ever again was a complete waste of money for poor quality Show details

Laptop Disgrace – I purchased the first computer on six month repayment. The second computer was a lay by that MIM offered. I received an email stating that the computer was on the way early because I had paid 80% of the computer off. For two days, I get messages that the computer was on the way. After two days I get the message that the second computer was no… Read more

longer offered. All in all I was not fussed. I will get my money back and follow up with the short fall.

What I cannot understand is why would they keep me on their books if they were no longer selling the computer I had ordered? Why waste my time taking money for a product that they could no longer supply. I should have been asked at the start. I can only deduce that they were lining their accounts with the interest derived from the money they were taking for the lay by.

Very disappointed guys. I was a solid advocate until today. I will be following up on the application fee.

Can’t trust them. Hidden payment schedules that’s contrary to contract – They will take payment a week after rental contract resumes, even though the contract states fortnight payments. They will state something like “you agreed to a date for the first payment to be taken out during the pre-approval payment process.” Didn’t happen. They will give you false promises like they’ll delay the 2nd payment but it won’t… Read more

happen.

Reconsider all your other options Afterpay, zippay before renting from these people:

1) If you’re renting goods from these people, be aware you could rent your product for 14 days before you receive it. 3-4 days (after you’ve paid) for payment to be received by them and 10 days for delivery, 10 days to receive your product, 14 days without your item. On a mac 13” laptop where you have to pay $105/mth, that’s $52.50 you’ve paid for something you haven’t even used. Wasted money. You pay almost twice the amount it’s worth. $1499 rrp for mac 13” laptop, you pay $2800.

2) Bad security measures - they’ll take risks with the item you’re renting, eg laptops or whatever product you want “may not be sent by tracked delivery” (as per their email) which means if your delivery goes astray, they can’t track it & you still have to pay it even if it hasn’t arrived to you. You pay $3000 for nothing. Easy money for them.

3) If you ask for the goods to be delivered tracked before the 10 day eta, they will highlight in an email that it will take 10 days and there is no flexibility around that, even if you live an hour away from them. Pay them $53 extra for waiting time to get it & pay extra if you don’t receive it.

4) Expect a text stating your outstanding balance before you get your product. The text can give you the impression you have to pay the full amount right now even if you haven’t got your order.

5) They won’t approve no interest payment option. They will state we’ve assessed your finances, we consider such things as affordability at the time of your application, even though you can still pay the higher amount for a rental etc so they give you a rental instead, so you pay them more. This rental plan will cost you twice as much and instead of, for example $35 /mth you have to pay $70 /mth. That exorbitant amount will definitely impact your affordability. It’s how they make their money. They will get you to rent & make out that it’s because you can’t afford the other payment option (the pay them less payment plan). Do not use them.

Received Used / Returned Kit that had pieces taped together, missing and bent – While the idea is wonderful and I'm sure there are some good ones out there, I received crap. I had pieces missing, pieces taped together and others were horribly bent. In contacting customer service, they tried to make it appear what I receive was acceptable even with the pictures I sent. I do not recommend this product whatsoever.
