1 McEwan Dawson  · Ordered Express No Glasses – Ordered on 7th February, have never sent the sunglasses. SUNGLASS HUT ARE RIP OFF MERCHANTS
5 Mads  · Fantastic customer service – Staff member at Southland Vic store fixed my glasses for me (out of warranty). Thanks for the great customer service.
1 Mary  · Inconsiderate company – I had a voucher for $200 and I attended a store, it had just expired by less than a few days and they would not accept it.
1 Nicolas F.  · Shipped to the wrong address – I received an email stating that my order would be shipped to my home address. It was shipped to a local store instead.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with this company. I purchased a pair of Prada sunglasses for $391, which had issues as the arm fell off, I requested a refund on 11 December 2025. Although I was advised that I could return the item and the return was confirmed as received on 22 December 2025, my refund has still not been processed. … Read more

It has now been 3 months of repeated follow-ups via email and phone, with assurances that the matter would be addressed internally—yet no resolution has occurred. This prolonged delay is unacceptable, leaving me without the product or my money.

I urge the company to take immediate action, honor its commitments, and implement a more reliable system for handling returns and refunds. Customers deserve timely responses and accountability, and I hope my experience serves as a reminder of the importance of delivering on promises.

Warranty is fake hahaha. Sound all lovely but trust me nobody ever get a claim . Very disgusting behaviour from workers and managers when you take in faulty item.

Last week I drove 40 minutes to the Sunglass Hut to purchase a new pair of sunglasses. After 2 minutes in the store I realised that nothing had prices on (unfortunately, always a red flag for me) I asked the assistant how was I to know the prices and she said, you can just pick the ones you want and we will give you a price????? I left the store… Read more

without looking any further as there was no way, during the busy Christmas week when we were doing our main shopping was I going to spend time, wondering what price range I was looking at and waiting for an assistant to let me know every time I wanted to know how much the glasses were. I don't know if this is a policy all Sunglass Hut stores, but I had every intention of purchasing a pair of sunglasses that day, and due to the poor customer service I left without any at all. If a store is confident that their products are value for money, then why on earth can we not know what you are charging????? sorry but I would not be returning to your store again.

I made a purchase online 28th February and it still has not arrived. I reached out for mailing updates because the service DHL they use is not accurate, and tracking number is useless. Not worth ordering online for the price, other online shops for sunglasses are much faster and have better updates for shipping info.. Who knows how much longer shipping will be. Will not be buying online anymore for sale price or from this store again.

Bought a $300 pair of polarised Rayban sunglasses from Sunglass Hut in Myers southland. A week later I discovered a chip in the lens. Obviously something had happened but nothing I had noticed. Myer Sunglass Hut said not covered under warranty and… Read more

that the lenses are delicate. I said that surely they are not fit for purpose if they get a chip in the lenses with no noticeable incident. Was told to raise with SH customer service. They said sorry cant help but I could buy a new pair for 50% off. I said I would not be buying anything from Raybans, Sunglass Hut or Myers again, after buying products regularly from all 3 for years. Very disappointed

Very positive experience at Sunglass Hut – Sunday 28 December (morning) I had an excellent experience at Sunglass Hut at Tea Tree Plaza this morning. Earlier the same day, I visited JB Hi‑Fi to try on the new Gen 2 Ray‑Ban smart glasses. Despite being one of only two customers in the store shortly after opening, there were no staff available to… Read more

assist. Team members were grouped together at the front and back of the store, and I eventually had to ask the security guard at the entrance for help.

When I explained that the standard size felt uncomfortably tight and asked to try the larger size, staff refused. I was made to feel unreasonable for wanting to confirm the fit before purchasing, despite the glasses being close to a $700 purchase. When I asked about returns or exchanges if the sizing was incorrect, the staff member had to check with someone else, which took a significant amount of time, only to be told there were no refunds or swaps available. The interaction felt dismissive and unapologetic.

The contrast between that experience and Sunglass Hut was night and day.

My daughters and I were greeted warmly as soon as we approached. When I asked about sizing, the staff member immediately brought out both sizes for me to try on, without hesitation. She was knowledgeable about the product, confident in explaining return policies, and made the entire process feel relaxed and pressure-free. I didn’t feel rushed or judged, and the staff presentation and overall attitude were noticeably more professional and positive.

Being able to try both sizes meant I could purchase with confidence, and I’m very happy with my choice.

Many of my friends and colleagues are now upgrading from Gen 1 to Gen 2 Ray-Ban smart glasses, and I’ll be recommending they go straight to Sunglass Hut based on this experience alone.

Fantastic customer service – well done to the Tea Tree Plaza team.

Sunglass Hut seems to think it's okay to make up its own refund policy with zero consideration for Australian Consumer laws. Poor stock levels in stores where they often try to sell you the display model at full price. I was unable to get a refund on an expensive product which was chipped, sharp, and dangerous to wear despite being "new in box". … Read more

Was forced a gift card and told to order a replacement myself online, and it arrived damaged again. They then refused to refund and tried to force another gift card on me. Online customer service is worse, as they just ignore you because it's inconvenient for them. I had to follow up constantly after being ignored for over a week. It's like talking to a bot, because it feels like they just scan key words and respond selectively. It's either that or the staff they employ on customer service lack the English comprehensive skills of a grade schooler.

0/10, do not engage with this business. Especially their online store, it'll ship from a Chinese warehouse despite claiming to be 'in-stock'. Shop from somewhere with a more honest return policy, or just do without it, it's not worth the hassle.

After 4 business days of my item not being sent out i'd contacted them. It was only then that they'd revealed to me the item was out of stock but it said in stock on the website and they took my money. I'd spoke to the online chat customer service and they told me they refuse to refund as they were "preparing the item to post" and that they would… Read more

send it out within "these two days". Now all of a sudden they don't have stock. They refused to refund me my money (a few hundred dollars) and told me to wait 10 more days. This whole time I could have just purchased directly from Oakley. The most disrespectful conpany. Never waste your time and money with the disgraceful people.

I purchased a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses from The Sunglass Hut at Burnside Village shopping centre on 29 Nov 2025. I later found out I didn’t need them and returned later in the day to request a refund. The lady store sales assistant said they don’t do refunds but offered a store credit. I said I thought that was “ very poor form” promptly I… Read more

believe the male store manager walked over to me and “aggressively told me to get out of the store”. This was handled in a very poor fashion and not respectfully dealt with. I again said how poor form it was and walked out. I will not return to this store and suggest to others to do similar. Regards Jon

Ordered a pair of sunglasses and a lash from sunglasses hut . Lash arrived with in 3 days from China. Sunglasses have taken over 2.5 weeks to arrive from East Coast. Even though website stated 3 day delivery. They weren't sent to 4 days after purchase. Asked customer service why the hold up , was told someone from online purchases would contact me . Guessing same department as shipping as no phone call. Poor performance Show details

I purchased a pair of Armani Exchange sunglasses (~A$400) that looked perfectly fine in-store. Within three weeks the metal hinge on one arm snapped during normal use. On closer inspection the frame felt flimsier than any designer pair I’ve owned—nothing like the build quality you’d expect at this price point. Service & Store Response When I… Read more

returned to the counter, the manager examined the break for less than a minute and immediately blamed “customer mishandling.” There was:

No offer of a repair, exchange, or manufacturer warranty claim.

No apology—just a lecture about how I must have folded the arms incorrectly.

No willingness to escalate or even provide a formal complaint channel.

I asked whether Sunglass Hut Myer Highpoint stands behind the products they sell; the answer, effectively, was “That’s your problem.”

Overall Impression Zero accountability for product defects.

Staff visibly frustrated when asked basic warranty questions.

$400 gone and I’m left with broken frames after only a few wears.

Bottom line: If you value build quality and after-sales support, shop elsewhere or buy directly from the brand’s authorised website. Until Sunglass Hut Highpoint improves both its product vetting and its approach to customer care, I’ll be taking my business in the opposite direction.

Really unhappy with Sunglasses Hut. After ordering sunglasses that were customised.

get an email that the delivery is on hold because the sender provided the wrong or incomplete address!! This is on Sunglasses Hut. Upon reading the reviews it appears im not the first this has happened to. Get you act together Sunglasses Hut. We spend big money for your product and shouldn't have to go through this nonsense. I am not even sure it will arrive tomorrow. Fingers crossed. This was such a bad experience though. I won't be shopping with Sunglasses Hut again....not only that....I will be telling my friends and family about this experience...

Terrible customer service – Purchased a $300+ pair of Raybans on a Sunday arvo. Monday morning saw online that they were now “on sale”. Emailed customer service to enquire about refunding the difference as lots of companies have a policy of doing this. Flat out refused the refund as the sale “had already been processed” whatever that means. Fair play if it was 2 weeks later… Read more

but a day later and no refund of the difference? Come on! The store would have known the sale was coming up the next morning surely! After this experience I will never step foot in a sunglass hut store again. They have lost a potential lifetime of sunnies over $75.

Extremely Disappointed with Sunglass Hut's Service and Delay – I am writing this review to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service I have received from Sunglass Hut. My order #41154365 was supposed to be delivered in store for pick up on January 27, 2025, but it has now been delayed for over a week. I first contacted customer service on January 29, 2025, via phone. I was redirected to multiple… Read more

departments and spent a significant amount of time on the phone, but no solution was provided. An email was sent to another department, which in turn contacted the responsible team. Despite sending follow-up emails to inquire about the status of my package, I only received a response this week, stating that they would contact me once they had an update. However, no deadlines were provided, and it seems that no concrete action has been taken to resolve the issue.

To make matters worse, I was informed that the delay was due to an internal SAP system error, and they are unable to locate my package. The order status remains as "created" on their website and has not been updated. It should have been a simple matter of sending a new order!

Overall, my experience with Sunglass Hut's customer service has been extremely slow and inefficient. I expect immediate action to be taken to either locate my package or send a new one. If this is not resolved promptly, I will consider requesting a full refund.

Sincerely, Emerson Pereira

great customer service! – Sunglass Hut in Pointe Claire has excellent customer service! I was served by Elma. She spent over 1 hour with me fixing my broken sunglasses and helped me choose a new pair. She was honest and genuine and actually cared. She wasn't about selling the most $ glasses, is was about her knowledge and experience... and that says it all. Show reply
