The staff are an absolute joke. It’s like they’re robots readings from a script. If you interrupt them to try and voice how your situation is different, they say “let me finish (my script) please” and then end with a silence that loudly and emotionlessly says “go tell someone who cares”. Show details

Very disappointing experience with Michael Hill. My partner spent thousands on my engagement ring in 2021 and also purchased a care plan. At no point was he told that this particular design could only be resized to a certain point. After losing a significant amount of weight, my ring is now too large to wear safely. When I contacted Michael… Read more

Hill, I was told they cannot resize it further and was essentially advised to either try an independent jeweller or purchase a new engagement ring.

I understand that a ring cannot be modified if it risks damaging the setting, but what is disappointing is that such a significant limitation was never explained at the time of purchase. Rather than offering a meaningful solution, the response has essentially been to spend more money.When we went in store for the care plan check up we were told to see an independent jeweller and void all warranties and the care plan or wear the ring on another finger and buy a new one.

After this experience, we will be purchasing our wedding bands and any future engagement ring elsewhere. It’s incredibly disappointing to feel that customer care comes second to another sale.

Choose wisely if you shop here.

Miss Represented The Pics on the web site look fantastic but the reality after receiver them is pretty ordinary. Everything looks bigger in the picks and the apparent quality looks great until you hold it in your hand. I would NOT recommend ordering anything from Michael Hill on Line. Go to the actual store it will save you a lot of money and a lot of disappointment. See Before and After Pics Below ! Show details

So my husband and I purchased his wedding band from the Mt druitt store and chose a tungsten ring which was $499 (on special) just for it to shatter into 3 pieces not even 3 and a half years later. So we were extremely ripped off not just for price but also quality. And gold chains don't get me started 3-4 times I had to go back to get it fixed… Read more

coz there was bits of gold poking into my skin. In the end i just gave up coz i was just wasting my time. Steer clear from this place coz you're only gonna get crap quality for a ridiculous price. Better off going elsewhere

Think twice b4 you buy any diamond from Michael hill. They emphasised the lifetime warranty, but if you miss one service. The lifetime warriors in invalid. I can not say I am perfect. I missed once. And it is gone. You paid more because of that. Go elsewhere to buy the same diamond and pay less. Same diamond and same ring but the policy is just… Read more

not right. I won’t be back to Michael hill even. They give you the best service before you pay, after you paid they do not want to know you.

the Highpoint store. They went above and beyond to help me when I had an issue with one of my products. Their professionalism, care, and dedication made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

Diana provided outstanding customer service. She was calm, honest, patient, and genuinely cared about resolving my problem. If I could give her 10 out of 10 for customer service, I absolutely would.

I truly trust the Michael Hill Highpoint store because of its high-quality jewelry and exceptional customer service. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a great shopping experience.

I had a very disappointing experience at Michael Hill at Warringah Mall when I went to return a watch that I had purchased online. As soon as I explained that I wanted a refund, both staff members took my watch to the back room and left me waiting for around 7 to 8 minutes with no explanation. They then came back and told me they couldn't process… Read more

the refund because their system was down.

To be honest, I found this explanation very difficult to believe. If the system had genuinely been down, I would have expected to be told immediately instead of having two staff members disappear into the back for several minutes before giving me that answer. The whole situation made me feel like I wasn't being given the real reason, which was extremely frustrating.

Whether the system was actually down or not, the lack of honesty, transparency and communication was unacceptable. I left feeling that my time had been wasted and that I wasn't treated with the respect every customer deserves.

I have always expected better customer service from Michael Hill, and unfortunately this experience has left me with a very negative impression.

I had great service at MHJ Indooroopilly, when I wanted to join my gold charms to my necklace. I wanted it done that day, so thought I'd have to do it myself. Therefore I thought maybe a nose ring or some sort of tiny lock would work. I was served by Murray who was courteous and helpful. He even offered to attach the charms then & there. I… Read more ·  1

appreciated the free offer, but didn't want to fiddle with the jump rings on the charms as I thought it would weaken them. He then suggested slipping both charms onto another slightly larger jump ring, so it would be the one attached to the necklace & he would attach it to see if it suited what I want before I committed. It was perfect and all for only the cost of the new 10kt gold jump ring - $11. I had been to another jeweller that day & it was going to cost a lot more & take 2 weeks.

I purchased a $1,400 watch from Michael Hill online. The watch arrived in a box that was significantly water damaged - to the point where the package itself must have been left outside in a torrential rainstorm - I immediately reported the issue. Michael Hill offered a replacement (but then didn't have a single watch of the same kind to replace it… Read more

with). Being a gift and on a limited timeline, I had no choice but to accept the watch as-is and purchase a new box and watch strap at my own expense. To make matters worse, MH then insultingly offered a $100 discount on a future purchase to say sorry (as if I would ever shop there ever again). Avoid at all costs, their terrible reputation is well earned and I feel like a fool for giving them a chance at all.

There is nothing wrong with the customer service at the Mackay Michael Hill store all the staff are brilliant. Purchased a diamond ring in September… Read more

2023 - cost over $5000.

One of the smaller diamonds fell out within the first year. Given that I have maintained the 6 monthly checkups it was replaced under warranty but there was a cost to repair of around $140.

December 2025 the main diamond fell out. I found the diamond and went back to the store in January with the ring and the diamond. I was honest and gave them the diamond. Had I not found the diamond, they would have had to replace it. Again, there will be a cost to repair, tba, unknown at the time of writing this review. I believe the cost should be borne by Michael Hill.

I have diamond jewelry which I wear every day, some pieces more than 20 years and none of these has ever had an issue.

I believe that the ring I purchased is inferior with the quality of the workmanship and is substandard.

 Follow-up  · It over a month since I left my ring to be repaired. I am still waiting for a quote for the repair! I visited the Mackay store to find out what is happening and they said that the repairers are extremely busy, wonder why? All I can do is to keep waiting.

 Follow-up  · Finally, after six weeks the quotation was received to repair my ring, which they discounted - $469.08 down to $300.00 (Manager Approved). The believe that the damage to the ring was caused by a significant blow to the ring and wear and tear. I… Read more

Avoid. Sadly, a business whose advertised core values are not reflected by its lack of integrity. The business relies on high pressure sales and average quality products. Diamonds are yellow with many inclusions, white gold platings are thin, Pandora-style beads are cheap while their low-price range are sourced from mass-production wholesalers.… Read more

Not surprisingly they suffer from high people turnover, both the staff from constant pressure of demanding targets and repairers who are poorly rewarded.

Don't buy online with Michael Hill Purchased an gift online for Xmas and wanted to exchange the item for another size. Due to policies the Customer Service replied to say there could not be an exchange and there was no other option but to follow the relevant policies. Can understand why these types of business would be going bust when there is poor customer services, bad online store and inflexibility with the support and policies. Show details
