When the team goes over and above to have the product delivered on time for a birthday present. i out in a query and received a response immediately and they kept me up to date with the delivery. Rate this seller AAA. Keep up the good work Modern Aussies. I will be back to buy more items from you for sure! Show details
Great product and excellent after sales service. There was a minor issue with my initial order but the Modern Aussies team were very professional and very helpful in working to a resolution that met my needs. I would definitely buy from Modern Aussies again.
Avoid shopping with this company. Their process is to dropship items directly to you from China. Any promises that they make on their website about shipping times etc are completely out of their control and subject to the Chinese shipping process, such that they don't even start counting shipping time until your order has arrived in Australia. … Read more
Of course, they'll tell you none of this directly. Their support is slow to respond and unhelpful, offering only canned responses when they do bother to reply.
I paid for express shipping on an order 5 days ago and haven't received a valid tracking number. Aus Post assure me that they have not received any package, yet MA assure me that the item is posted and in transit.

Absolutely beautiful blanket ! – Hi I bought an absolutely beautiful king sized, premimum, reversible, scandanavian, bird, throw blanket. It arrived within 2 weeks which, from other reviews Ive read, is standard for this company. The blanket is an excellent size. It is soft and cosy. The colours are magnificient and it looks amazing in my bedroom. The detail is clear and the… Read more · 1
fringe around the blanket is lovely. I washed and dried this (on my line) and it came out fine. No shrinkage, no discolourations and no tangling of the fringe either.
The company communication is excellent as well. I wmailed an enquiry to them and I was answered withing 24 hours.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in purchasing from this wedsite again, none at all.
Really awfully made product. Paid $50 for an item and it is super cheaply made. Found the exact same product on Ebay, Temu and Amazon all selling between $5-$15. Scammers.
I love my new sunglasses. They are extremely well made, excellent quality and reasonably priced. Well done Modern Aussies. Show reply

Men's Polarized Sports Sunglasses. I love these sunglasses. To start with, the price, 2 pair for $50 is great value. Comes with a cloth, soft case and sports strap.Very light weight and extremely comfortable. Delivery was fairly fast with excellent packaging. I highly recommend these. Show reply
Service could not be better 10/10 as for the product I still wear every day. Quality also 10/10 Could not recommend more highly. Show reply

COMPLETE SCAM EVEN WITH A FULL REFUND – I was asked by [Name Removed] from MODERN AUSSIE to remove my review after insisting on a full refund for the product I paid for that instead of coming from MELBOURNE actually came from CHINA , In all good conscience after receiving the item today… Read more
and out of curiosity opening it to see what they actually sent me I WILL NOT DO IT . I paid for a black leather wallet with pop up card functions and instead received a CHEAP NASTY metal wallet with micro fibre pocket badly glued to the front of it and a card pop up function that did not even move , after writing a note to the owners of modern Aussie I resealed it and have sent the item back return to sender . The wallet CONTAINED NO LEATHER what so ever , the metal used was scratched and cheap and the microfibre pocket was glued on we put a $50 note inside to show you how thin this material is and that it is MOT LEATHER , AVOID THIS COMPANY if you are after the product you paid for the description does not match the item you get in any way at all and if you need to contact customer service they are in PORTUGAL and you products are sent FROM CHINA , NOT MELBOURNE AS ADVERTISED . I was asked to remove my review as [Name Removed] told me it would hurt their small business , I disagree the only thing hurting their business is their product and the fact that they lied about the description and location of the product in the first place . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT PURCHASING ANYTHING FROM THIS SITE and if Modern Aussie don’t like my review maybe they need to look at their business practices
Follow-up · I am writing this after receiving an email asking for an updated review. I have never ordered anything else from this Company and still highly recommend that this site is avoided if you want what you are paying for . I had to fight for weeks for a full refund . Partial refunds were offered but I refused and ended up eventually getting a full… Read more

Negative reviews
WARNING. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. This company is a scam. They fraudulently make out they're Australian and subject to Australian Consumer Laws , when they are based I believe in China. The scam is called a "ghostscam". They advertised 30 day returns that were "hassle free". The goods were of very inferior quality. Since 20 January there… Read more
have been in excess of 45 emails regarding the returns, and at least 6 phone calls. They have written on 5 occasions that the refund is being processed and to be patient and to wait 2-3 business days for it to show up in my account, with the first occasion being on 12 February and the last being today (24/02/2026). On 16 and 17 Feb they advised me I did not need to return the goods "due to high shipping costs" but yesterday and today advised by email the money will be refunded only after the goods are received. Yesterday I also received a phone message again that the money had been refunded! Apparently "stalling" in this manner is a common ploy often used by these companies. I am in the process of reporting them to SCAMWATCH.

Honestly one of the worst online shopping experiences I’ve ever had. I originally ordered two retro game players, then asked to upgrade BOTH to the HD consoles. They confirmed it, told me to pay the difference, and I sent the payment straight away with proof (they request bank transfer which is weird). From there, everything fell apart. They kept… Read more
changing the story, suddenly claiming the amount I paid was only enough for one console — even though I had clearly said from the beginning I was upgrading both. Every reply from them took forever, and when they finally did respond, it was confusing, contradicting, and completely unhelpful. Instead of sending the two items I paid for, they decided on their own to ship ONE console, in a random colour I didn’t even choose. Then for the second item which was already paid for in my original order they told me to just use a $30 store credit to buy it again. Unbelievable. The back-and-forth dragged on so long that by the time they sorted anything out, Christmas was basically ruined. The communication was slow, unprofessional, and honestly felt like they were trying to dodge responsibility at every step. I paid for two consoles. I needed two consoles. They made it as difficult as possible to get what I paid for. Save yourself the stress and shop somewhere else.

Dealing with modern aussies have been a nightmare. Paid extra for express delivery and items not received , tracking stalled, communication from them is apologies but no follow up, promise of a partial refund for $50 not received, . Basically a company based in Melbourne for delivery to Sydney should be straight forward you’d think. But so far… Read more
nothing. A very terrible experience where they have my money I don’t have the items, and they don’t follow up on anything except apologise. Never deal with modern aussues. In my case gold cutlery can be found on a lot of other websites and stores who delivery like Amazon or Temu. Buyers beware. You’ve been warned about this company. Look at trust pilot and you’ll see many more similar bad experiences. As I thought and suspected. Shipment is from china according to tracking today. This is an Australian registered business but owned and shipped from china. You are not supporting Australian businesses by buying from Modern Aussies. I love the name. So deceiving so dishonest so deceptive. Do not buy from Modern Aussies. You’re lucky if you get your goods. Forget a refund and forget backup service or returns as promised . Not going to happen. They’ll take your money and that’s it.
I am 70 years old. Have bought and sold thousands of items online. This has to be the worst company and worst experience ever.

Have I been waiting to write this review... essentially, they are shysters. Would rather leave zero stars but here we go. Do not use them. Items are overpriced/resold Temu items. Website (and it's a godaddy one) mucks around with pricing and qty's and they are on the ACCC hit list. They even pretend to be in Australia. * Placed an order. Modern… Read more
Aussies ADDED items to the order. When we queried it, they remove the (hmm), extra items but REFUSED to cancel the order, claiming it had been shipped. (All this inside 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon) * contacted the Bank, indicating it was a fraudulent sale and they refunded the monies and initiated an investigation with Visa * tried several times to have the order cancelled (remember, it had been shipped) and the finally 2 weeks later, notification of delivery via Couriers Please. * The couriers were excellent in this case as we told them it was a fraudulent sale, and they intervened, preventing delivery.. Delivery not accepted. * Modern Aussies then offered a refund (less $10 shipping fee on order that was free shipping) NOW THIS IS THE BEST BIT * ACCC are aware that Modern Aussies are a GHOST SHOP..pretending to be in Australia. No ABN registered to allow for them to have a .com.au domain. Fake contact phone and business address. * Website pricing is predatory * Don't confirm to Australian consumer protection rules * The Visa investigation was in our favor, so Modern Aussies lost their funds and the goods that they forcefully delivered.
In short... avoid them like the plague. This mob gives honest online retailers a bad name

I am a bit unsure about on-line purchasing but my recent purchase from Modern Aussies was not a problem. The item I wanted was easy to find on the website. The Support Staff even prioritised the purchase so it reached me before Father's Day. Show reply

Absolute lying, scamming fraudsters, charging 4 times the price for cheap Chinese crap that also is shipped from China when ordered, not even in the country, despite the name Modern Aussies. Purchased one of those 2 in one scrubbing mops, buy one get one free (no second one), apparently $80 before their special discounted price of $39, you can… Read more
find the same item on Shein and Temu for $10 or less, so I found out later. Clearly states on website if you're not satisfied with your purchase, there's a 30 day money back guarantee. I contacted them for a refund and was told that I could only get one if the item was faulty (NOT WHAT THE SITE SAYS AND I HAVE PROOF). I was offered a store voucher for less than the price of the item, I said "no, I want a full refund" I have been through PayPal and opened a case but they sided with the seller, so now I'm going through VCAT. This is Australia, we are entitled to our money back if not satisfied with a purchase and where is your contact phone number, stop hiding behind a computer.. How dare you come in to this country and pretend to be Australian, take our money and refuse to refund, despite your guarantees....I AM NOT LETTING THIS GO, NOR WILL I REMOVE THIS COMMENT FOR A REFUND BECAUSE YOU'VE LIED TO OTHER CUSTOMERS ABOUT REMOVING NEGATIVE COMMENTS IN ORDER TO GET A REFUND

Purchased a Faja bodysuit from Modern Aussie’s. Shipping was extremely quick! When I received my garment, the quality is 10/10. So so happy with my purchase. The customer service also helped me out so much once I found that I didn’t order the correct size. So quick to respond and helped me out, out of good will and gesture. 10/10 recommended. Show reply
If I could give zero stars I would. Cheap Chinese junk. Have been bombarded since my review previously. Offer me money and a refund to take down my negative review. I purchased a travel iron/ steam iron. When received was clearly used before as was water in its tank. Very misleading in advertising as Modern Aussies as all goods are sent from China. I have had to block them to stop the continuous emails.
