Terrible GUYS - Potential SCAM on going

Was browsing through the shop at Narre Warren, sales person approached and said will give good discounts for fridges. At first wasn't interested. Then he approached multiple times promoting us to ask the price. Lowered price from listed price by $1000. Made us change our mind. Paid full amount $4000 + Concierge service . Its been almost 2 months now and product not yet delivered. called multiple times. response was we need to wait. finally went to the shop and asked. Answer - "we don't know when it it be delivered, we can give you money back". Sent a complaint email asking for compensation. No response. Will never go back to this vendor. Modern day fraud. Show details

TGG Management Chaos

I ordered an rangehood on 1 Feb, was promised to deliver by two weeks. After five weeks, everytime I call them, Sales blamed to Warehouse, Warehouse blamed to Supplier, Supplier blamed to TGG Purchasing Team. Trying to cancel the order, reception girl said according to their policy, if I cancel it, I will lose the deposit because the stock has been ordered. Complaint to HQ, finally got my refund in April. And the rangehood was never ordered, (sales didn't process the order corrently) according to their internal investigation. What a joke. Show details

27 kitchen panels fell apart at 7 years

Don‘t assume your kitchen will last more than 7 years. 27 panels fell apart when the glue adhesive deteriorated cause the foil front panels to peel off. The manufacturer won't replace them all because we started to notice them a few months out of the ‘guarantee’ period.
Regretful buyer.

Kitchens are imported flat pack junk

Laminate benchtop around sink swelled within months. They declared it is “wear & tear” therefore not covered by warranty. Wrote it off as “water damage” - it’s around the sink! Very disappointing that GGs accept no accountability for this fraudulent kitchen company. Show details

Installers let them down

Don't do it. It seemed like an economical cheap option at the start. They told us we would save money as the cabinets would be custom built in NSW factory and delivered to our house in Balwyn North. From the start the service was bad as we were given poor advise about where to positioned our bench top. The installers were just as bad.. Once they have your money they will tell you it's your problem. We read the bad reviews but rationalised that only the minority of customers are writing to complain where the majority are the happily silent. Don't get suckered in. I think where they really fall over is the money hungry installers who won't help you with the slightest problem post installation. Show details

I would never buy a good guys kitchen ever in my life again, poor and rude service and the quality is poor

Handles have rusted, cupboards didn’t align, the fridge space is way too short for a large fridge. The soft cupboards have fallen off 50% off cupboards in less than 2 years and had to make significant unexpected changes with the builder that stuffed up the electricity access. When you contact them they don’t call you back and they disregard your complaints despite when they sell you the kitchen they tell stress the quality of the product

Astonishing

11 weeks. No kitchen. Tenants pulled out of rental agreement. Who could blame them. Cancelled contract with supplier. Tried to, illegally, hit me up for $800 cancellation fee. Astonishing! An organization at war with itself. Sales, design and manufacturing blaming each other for the failures of their internal culture and who are openly contemptuous of their customers. Sadly, from my experience, a fairly standard Australian management model.

Wish I had read these reviews first!

Worst experience ever! Wish I had seen these reviews before we decided to get outlet kitchen done with them. Terrible customer service and were very rude on the phone. 18months later and the kitchen is still not finished. They set you up with a trade company to install the kitchen then take no responsibility when the job is not complete. Wish I could have given 0 stars. Would recommend to go elsewhere for a kitchen.

Terrible, horrible, don’t go with them

From measuring to installation, everything was wrong, after the installation the cabinets measurements was wrong, no customer service, no one know what is happening. Don’t give your money to them, go somewhere ey

Do not use this company

Any savings made by using this company are gone when the kitchen arrived damaged and with parts missing. I have now been waiting an additional 4 weeks for my kitchen to be completed and I still haven't been given a date. I have a number of trades now on hold until the kitchen has been installed. Very Disappointed. Lots of apologies but no action. Use a local company that you can deal with face to face. I trusted the association with the Good Guys. What a mistake.

I was ripped off too with the supposed cancellation fee of $897. For what?!!!

In March 2013, Canberra Fyshwick store had an opening of Good Guys Kitchens. I stupidly paid $2000 to keep approx 4.6 metres of white Silestone at their introductory cost. Since then, I have tried numerous times to get that deposit back but never had a response of any sort, despite all the promises that a manager will call me. I then chased the money through their complaints site on their webpage. I was dealing with another fellow who seemed helpful - until I asked why I was only refunded $899. I had never commissioned a kitchen, just holding price on the granite. They have stolen $897 saying it was a cancellation fee?

Horrible experience

The initial meet and design was great but we have now gone 10 weeks without a kitchen. It is one mistake after another, plans were changed without notice, cupboards installed not to the plan so appliances didn't fit, they have no interest in helping because they demand 100% payment before installation. When they did come out to fix things, it was a poor attempt. The end price was thousands over the quote and the job over all is poorly done. The product seems to be good quality (time will tell) but the stress and hassle of it all is not worth it. Go somewhere else. They seem organised at first but its all down hill after you sign up.

So unprofessional kitchen group/ good guy kitchen

We had our new kitchen by kitchen group, introduced through good guys kitchen. Still so confused about the relation between kitchen group and good guy kitchen. But one year after our kitchen was bulit, one of parts on the cabinet was broke. We contacted kitchen designer who confirmed the kitchen has life guarantee and gave us the contact number and person of kitchen group. After we called him a few times, he promised to call back to arrange, but nothing happened. Last time when we called tel:07 3440 8400 and was told she will let this guy know and give us call, again nothing happened. So disappointed and next thing we will try to go to good guy kitchen and see if anyone can help. So unprofessional kitchen group/ good guy kitchen.
