Sold me a Aqua Buddy Pool cleaner that was totally useless, and had a bent floor plate. No help other than an offer of a few bucks refund without fixing the issue.
I bought a chest of drawers, provided delivery instructions, unaware they needed assembly, as it is not advertised as such. My delivery was left outside in a public place, stolen, police were involved and recovered it, boxes opened and pieces jumbled. I asked about return after all that stress and was told I had to pay for it. I had to find someone to assemble it which took hours. It was not a good experience and the materials of cheap quality.
Bought a devanti slushie machine barrel cracked they said they would refund me I have sent over and over messages they want my bank details to send refund but they don't get any of them it's against eBay's laws to put details on their email so there's no way I'm going to get my refund , I'm very angry
Follow-up · Not usable there is a fault with them i now have a ninja very happy it took along time to get the refund after so many emails and contacting ebay

Shocking customer service (lack of). Ordered a pool cover with 3yrs warranty and tried to get a replacement. They asked me to send photo's of the problem, which I did. 3 weeks later, after lots of messages to them, they are ignoring me. They should be struck off EBay considering all the bad comments.
I have tried again and again and again to get an answer about exactly which courier these people at Oz Plaza would be using to deliver my item if I went ahead with the purchase. I have had extremely bad experiences with "Couriers Please" in the past and just wanted Oz Plaza to respect my wishes and guarantee that they would not use them in order… Read more
for me to continue with my order.
Again and again Oz Plaza's 'Customer Service Team' replied with the same brain-dead non-commital answer of "We seek your kind understanding that we cannot check the courier before the order is made as orders are automatically assigned to the delivery company depending on the size, weight, and destination of the item."
They obviously already had the size and weight of the item, and I provided the destination details in order for them to check which courier they would use. However, all I got was the same robotic answer again and again.
If someone wanted to purchase something from me and asked me how I would be sending it, I would tell them exactly how. And if they didn't want me to use a particular courier, then I certainly wouldn't use that courier.
Where is the "Customer Service" in Oz Plaza's 'Customer Service Team'?
If I could give them a minus rating, I would.

Total scam on batteries – I bought two Deep Cycle Giantz Batteries for a Golf Buggy from Ozplaza. I bought greater capacity than required to be on the safe side. The batteries were covered with a twelve-month warranty. The first battery lasted two days and I was refund it's cost. The second battery lasted 5 months and I have not been reimbursed even though I have supplied… Read more
testing certificates for a reputable Battery supplier that show these batteries are duds. I would never deal with Oz plaza again as they appear to be a total scam. The number of excuses are unreal and the requests are ridiculous, even though I followed them.
To all who may be considering buying a battery from Ozplaza. Beware and do not consider Giantz… Read more (+1 reply)

Also bought a garden bench and it arrived with a big chip in it. The chip wasn't in the box so must have been packed like that. No response to email. Don't buy off this lot they are scammers

Have bought various no battery or mechanical items from OzPlaza and issues were fixed without issue. However faulty parts were fixed by a partial refund which would have been an issue had I not already had spares. The issues people report is why… Read more
you buy from them via ebay and pay via paypal and pay the paypal via credit card. All three offer back up and refund for warranty issues. If ebay don't help you move on to paypal and if they do not help your credit card provider sure will.
Follow-up · The faulty item was a pool cleaner hose section. They did not carry spares as they should have, but offered me $10 to buy a replacement at Bunnigs. Worked out fine. Other things from them have noy been faulty.
Avoid like the plague ! Disgraceful & dishonest company who cannot comply with Australian consumer law , can’t fix a failed recliner chair 6 months into a 12 month warranty period , offered a part refund after I educate them on ‘fit for purpose’ & ‘merchantable’ quality Save your money & heartache, shop elsewhere !
Follow-up · Full refund accepted, plus removal of chair to save me from landfill fee

Bought a Giantz water pump from them 10 months ago. Pump got extremely noisy to the point the neighbours were complaining. After seeing reviews on this site almost wasn’t going to bother to try to get a replacement but had a go anyway. Same day response to my first email. They then asked me to upload a video of the noisy pump and much to my surprise a new pump was dispatched to me the next day. Can’t fault them for customer service.
Extremely Happy Customer – Brought a boat cover and it started to deteriorate prior the warranty ending. The company without hesitation, sent a replacement boat cover, after i had sent the appropriate photos and information regarding the deteriorating cover. The cover was dispatched, and I received the new boat cover with in a few days. I must add that the communication was at top level. Will shop again with this company. Many thanks. Happy customer.

Negative reviews
This company is the biggest scammer and are ripping customers off. Please report to the ACCC and to Fair trading. Be careful as they use platforms such as eBay. I purchased a fridge and cancelled the order shortly after with ample notice. The next morning they rejected the cancellation and blatantly lied that it had been sent out. You normally… Read more
receive emails with updates on courier tracking, nothing. Of course emails were all received two hours after my cancellation request was denied with a tracking number. Funny that!! I had also checked the website against this item via eBay which clearly stated I could cancel. The courier had not collected the item so they were caught out lying. I sent numerous emails and they take hours to respond so by this stage the courier had collected late afternoon the courier. They sent me emails asking if they wanted me to cancel the courier when it was clearly evident when I cancelled and requested a refund. It was just a plot to prolong time for the courier to collect the parcel. Be very careful and read all the reviews because they are negative. This company conduct is misleading, deceitful and untrue.. I will be reporting them to both the ACCC and fair trading
Bought a bedframe off them and tried to cancel order following day as I noticed the quality was junk in the photos. They accepted for me to return my purchase which was unopened and shipped back accordingly. Now I'm getting every excuse under the sun for them not to reimburse my $240. I've been told the case has been referred to the manager and… Read more
he will get back to me in a few days. How about I contact my lawyer and he contact your manager. How this company gets away with ripping of consumers is disgusting.
I purchased a Devanti 21L paper shredder from OzPlaza Living Online on 19 November 2025. I only began using the shredder in January 2026, and by February 2026 it had completely stopped working. Importantly, I never overloaded the machine. Although it is advertised as capable of shredding up to 10 sheets at a time, I never inserted more than 5… Read more
sheets per use. The shredder was used strictly within the manufacturer’s stated limits.
The most disappointing part of this experience has been the lack of customer service. It is impossible to reach the company by phone—there is no answer—and emails have gone unanswered as well. There has been no support, no response, and no assistance regarding warranty or repair.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend purchasing from OzPlaza Living Online. If something goes wrong with your product, you may be left without support and facing unnecessary stress and financial loss.

BEWARE .. Oz Plaza will scam you. Oz Plaza sent me a useless packet of sweets instead of the $75. battery that I ordered. Tracking said the order was delivered, but not the item that I had ordered. Oz Plaza would not reply to my messages. This is an on running scam that they get away with on ebay, just check their negative feedback. ??? BEWARE
Payed money for a generator box that has never been delivered cannot get in touch with them for a refund.bought through weto oz plaza. Oz plaza say it's nothing to do with them,offered no help.

Liars that use Aramex (Australia's worst courier) – Unfortunately I ordered a product from this "company" on 13 Dec, with the Ebay listing stating "last order dates for Christmas delivery", which was 16 Dec for Brisbane metro. My order was supposedly dispatched 16 Dec. It turns out that they use Aramex (Australia's worst courier) to deliver, despite not disclosing this in their 'terms and… Read more
conditions'. They instead state: "How are my items delivered? : Your item(s) will be delivered via Australia Post eParcel service in most cases, but can also be delivered by Toll or Allied Express. Once your item has been dispatched from our warehouse, your eBay order is automatically updated with the tracking number."
Upon querying this on 24 Dec and why my order still hasn't even made to the Aramex Melbourne depot, someone called "[Name Removed]" tells me that orders take between 5-10 working days. This is not stated anywhere on the Ebay listing. Clicking on 'Terms and Conditions' now mysteriously fails with a 404 Not Found error.
"[Name Removed]" then proceeds to flat out lie to me by saying that the listing states last orders 'dispatched' before 16 Dec will make it for pre-Christmas delivery. It clearly does not state or even infer this.
It is now 30 Dec with no delivery and Aramex tracking showing that the order, despite supposedly being picked up on 16 Dec still hasn't made it to their Melbourne depot for delivery to Brisbane metro.
Edit: Finally delivered later on 30 Dec. I still stand by my review above and the product is cheap and nasty.

with eBay 17/12/202 as still not arrived. Received another email stating it had just been accepted by the courier, again, and was 'estimated' to be delivered by 20/12/2024. No transparency, no applogy for the delay. I can't afford to buy another dehumidifier in the interim, so they have my money, and I have nothing. Avoid if you can.

Keep scrolling – Returned a gaming chair I bought, could only be sent by courier, I couldn't do it personally. I booked it through a courier company I use through my work. 1 week later I'm being told that the proof of return I supplied was 'blurry' and to provide a tracking number (I did supply a signed POR with name, date, time, courier company & job number) so unsure how they couldn't send the info. Terrible customer service
