I have ordered multiple items from rivers online 2.5 months ago, on 2 different occasions i have not received 10 items,,10 items missing , and no response just automated responses i believe it is a fraud and all the money is lost ,Iam not sure if there is any legal action we can take though ?
Ordered 5 items 2 months ago. 2 items were delivered within a few weeks. I have been trying to contact via the official channels - phone & email - only to receive multiple automated customer service emails over the past month, and every time I call the suggested number 1800 151 110 there is an automated response but no one ever picks up - have… Read more
waited on the phone for hours once. Cannot locate a form for a refund. No communication. They’ve taken my money, all I need is what I purchased or some sort of communication saying they will refund me. Very poor service.
I see Rivers gone bust. I suspect diminishing quality over time. I bought a pair of rivers elastic sided, Chelsea boots (not unlike RM Williams, made with a single piece of leather, only seam is at the back). They were $100 in the mid 90s. They have been resoled twice and are still going strong. I bought their work boots (not steel toe) about 25… Read more
years ago. They have the Goodyear weld. They are comfortable and still going strong. I have a couple of pairs of Rivers desert boots, cannot comment on longevity, but they are comfortable. I have a pair of zip sided ‘vegan’, ie. not leather, boots. I liked them, but not overly durable. If Rivers stuck to quality products instead of flooding the market with rubbish, they might have had a chance.

Horrible Experience – Terrible experience! Sent me a faulty vacuum cleaner and gave me hell and tens of emails and paperwork to try to exchange or get my money back. So far, ongoing hell. Will NEVER but ANYTHING from Rivers again. Show details
Not recommending at all. I bought casual shoes around one month ago. Now it’s dismantling.
Disappointed – Third party suppliers that have no tradename are not trustworthy .products may be less than poor quality
Worse service by any company – Ordered shoes a week before I needed them. 10 days later they still haven't sent them. I cancelled the order and they refused. Just a grub of a company. Trust me stay well clear.

Rivers sell leather shoes for a great price – The postal service was fast and efficient also. Best of all, the shoes go to size 43 which is a hard size to find. Thank you Rivers. Show details
Fantastic – Thank you Rivers stores for taking a chance with our small city of Benalla. Excellent service from your employees and my hubby is extremely happy with his polo shirts that actually have pockets for his glasses. Your sizes are great and even I was able to purchase clothing at a reasonable price and in big sizes. Thank you Show details
Excellent – I have order so many things on sale from rivers everything always is always delivered within a couple odmf weeks, which is awesome. The quality is always amazing better than expected, the dale items are always so cheap but excellent quality definitely recommend
Negative reviews
Very negative dissatisfaction experience. It has taken me huge time in searching and finally put a clearance coat to cart as virtually all are not in stock and some were listed as available but then out as you add to cart so very misleading. Then the worst thing happened when they got your money of the purchase and shipping fee but after many… Read more
weeks, send you a refund of the item which was originally expensive. So they have dishonestly got massive bank interests from many customers for this clearance and we lost huge time and shipping fee. They even continue to send you promotional emails for the sales! No wonder they have to close down
Placed an order in February. One item out of three arrived with a notice saying the balance of the order would be sent shortly. Zero reply’s from Rivers, their website is now taken down. The administrators must have ripped off numerous customers by failing to fulfil orders.

Online order placed 3 weeks ago, emailed every week to see what was happening as never received anything. Finally after 4 weeks got a tracking no received 3 weeks later won't ever buy from here again ridiculous very poor customer service, explains why there closing down.
Online shopping is disgusting. I've been waiting 6 weeks for final delivery from 2 different orders. Some items were delivered but many haven't worth $700 still not delivered. Several calls made to their contact centre only to now be told that they are out of stock and a refund is still pending (who knows when). Just appalling service. If out of… Read more
stock, customers should be refunded immediately and notified. We shouldn't have to call numerous times to get progress updates.
disgraceful service Mosaic brands. Ordered from Rivers on the 16.2.25 10 days later no tracking number, no reply to email, no acknowledgement of order, website order number update doesn't work. Forget buying at the closing down sale. I guess that's what happens with greed. Destroyed many good retail shops. Would give no stars if possible.
No suprise they're shutting down – Bought a dress, wear it 3 times, stitching holding rear seam unravels creating massive spilt and exposing undies at work. Not nice
Menswear no longer a focus – Rivers used to be a male focused shop one of the few that had sizes up to 4xl. The store then became female focused to the point where menswear and large sizes became obsolete. Sad, but it’s pointless for men now.
Rivers online shopping. Disgraceful – 2 months to receive an item that's In Australia!!!! Are you kidding me!! Customer team that's obviously based in India don't have a clue or helpful at all, takes them ages to reply to any emails and it's the same vague response. Never ever shopping at rivers again.
Terrible customer service and shocking delay with the order – worst customer service ever, shocking!!! They are unhelpful and talk over you without listening to your concerns about your super late order. Please stay away from them.
DO NOT BUY FROM RIVERS! – Do not use this company! I have been waiting for nearly 2 months for my order. In this time the product has become obsolete so I can’t cancel the order and get it elsewhere. They keep blaming a 3rd party, it’s pathetic

Borderline false advertising! – Outside the store was a rack of shirts on special, with sign as costing $25. When I took the one I liked to the checkout, I was asked “Are you a member?” “no I’m not”, I replied “Would you like to become a member?” “No thanks, just the shirt will do” “That’ll be $50” “Sorry, the sign clearly stated they’re $25!” “Only if you’re a member” she… Read more
replied “In that case, you can keep the shirt” and walked out, checking the sign, which in the corner had in a tiny font (~size 2) “T&C apply” I’m disgusted with their borderline false advertising and WONT BE BACK!
Terrible Quality and Service – Avoid at All Costs – Do not buy anything from Rivers NZ! The clothing I purchased was of shockingly poor quality—the worst I’ve ever seen. When I tried to return the items, they refused to issue a refund and only offered a coupon to purchase more of their low-quality products. This demonstrates a complete lack of accountability for their substandard goods. Save your money and shop elsewhere.
Poor quality fabric t shirts – I bought 4 different coloured ladies t shirts online. They are advertised as 100% cotton but they are full of static electricity. They are very thin and too see-through to wear. They most definitely wouldn't be suitable to wear outside in the sun. Not useful at all and a waste of money.
Expensive Temu products – I used to love Rivers basic long sleeve t-shirt but quality has gone, no stretch anymore. Plus Rivers is just Temu stuff at a high price, found something I liked on Rivers for over $75 on Temu for under $17.
Do NOT order online from Rivers! – I placed an order online during October. All that I can say is this has been (by far) the worst experience that I have had from a vendor that is supposedly located in Australia. The moral of the story is that if you don't have it in stock or need to outsource it then DON'T advertise as available. Also don't try to reach out to them on their… Read more
advertised 'customer care' number because you won't get a real person to answer. PPP+PPP = P*ss Poor Planning equals P*ss Poor Performance!
Use with caution – I ordered clothing from their online store. 4 days after placing my order, my credit card received a fraudulent charge from New York NY. It was only after I made a complaint to Rivers online "either send my order now or cancel and refund my money" did they actually send my order. Use their online website with extreme caution.
Rivers website is a scam – They don't give any updates on the order and the website keeps changing my name and my delivery address. I also can't complete the online form to get in touch with them as the order number doesn't work and it keeps making up other errors so I cannot submit an enquiry. I think this whole website is a scam and I am going to lodge a complaint with the NSW Ombudsman about my experience.
Not happy – Placed my order on 19th of September had to wait for over a month as Rivers had an IT problem with PayPal, then the shoes I bought were a smaller size than marked. Not happy. Cost too much to send back.
