Purchased a vaccum only to have them drop the price a week later asked if they would honour the price drop gaurantee and they couldnt. So I returned the vaccum and purchased it from another seller
Terrible communication. I purchased a BBQ, paid in full, went to collect it and I was told they couldn't retrieve it because of a breakdown in a forklift. When I asked how long it might take to fix the reply was, we don't know. Maybe a day, maybe a week, it could be several weeks. You'll get a call. An mail or phone call would have been appreciated as the days clicked over. They responded when I contacted the store manager.
If I could give zero star I will give it. The service desk staff are terrible. I bought a phone and returned it just 5 minutes later the service desk staff refused to accept because i opened the box. The other one said she can contact the manager about the situation but she didn't instead the two of them were just chatting with themselves ignoring… Read more
me. I am more than angry. At least if they had contacted the manager as they said maybe things would have been sorted out but they didn't. They ignored me as if I am not a human being. I feel so disappointed. Never again The goodguys.

Went to GoodGuys in Butler WA and bought the Roborock Q7B+ Robotic Vacuum. Absolute dud out of the box. Charged it up to 100% and used it for 3mins after that got error messages from the app saying “main brush jammed. Remove and clean the main brush and bearings”. I bought this because the initial reviews were mostly good, but I call nonsense on… Read more
all of them. Do not buy the this product at all.
I am taking it back to get my money back and will not bother will a robot vacuum again.
It is a very good product and the explanation which they are assisting is very clean and they are very patiently explaining am happy to purchase in good guys I have paid for gold plan they are providing us good vouchers and it’s worth paying thank you good guys am very much happy Show details
Very inefficient customer support – Bought a TV in a sale and arrived faulty. Shipping is quick the only good experience in this purchase so it deserves one star. However, the TV is faulty and it takes me so much effort to get TGG to follow it up. Went to the local store and staff said online purchase was not in the store system so they could not do anything. Submitted complaint… Read more
online and TV manufacturer TCL contacted me after 2 days to check my invoice everything and asked me to contact local store again.
Called store, waited long and the support said he would arrange a home repair inspection. It didi not happen. Just another support call lodged at TCL. After several calls with TCL, videos uploading and photo emailing. TCL asked me to call store again to speak to a lady.
Called store two times in the morning and around lunch the next day. First time no pick up. 2nd time got told that the lady was too busy to answer me.
All in all, TGG has this partnership with TCL and they just hate each other and always expect customer to check everything actively with the other party.
Still waiting for the lady to follow this up. Basically nothing has really happend after 3 rounds contacting both supports. Indeed a bad experience. I believe I would avoid buying from TGG for quite a while.
Poor Extended Warranty, Not really helpful, another way to fool customers – I purchased 75" Samsung TV and got 3 years extended warranty. My TV screen start blinking at frequent intervals. They took 6 weeks and claimed that they have changed part and fixed the issue but problem still appeared after few hours on the same day. Just pure waste of time and now they are asking to take few more weeks to play their repair game again. Very disappointing. Show details
Do yourselves a favor we have bought so much from the Good Guys over many years, but never buy an EX-display Tv $ 1700.00, 20% knocked off from the original price from the Good Guys Butler WA 6036, lesson learned we had defects after 4 months. They lodged a repair to LG not an Assessment, and after I did some investigations tried to ask The Good… Read more
Guys for a refund or replacement and would have purchased another tv from their store. This had to be reviewed by LG who declined the assessment. No word back from The Good Guys so we have now settled for the repair. Hopefully we will have a working tv with no issues. Camtec in Perth are coming out next week with internal parts to repair display components. Apparently due to the length of time the tv was on display in the Good Guys shop would probably have caused the geometrical blocks which you see on the screen. Even if not, still we have a defective tv!

Avoid LG & The Good Guys – Terrible Product & Zero Warranty Support I purchased an LG Fridge/Freezer from The Good Guys, and it has been a nightmare from start to finish. The freezer constantly icing over and ruining frozen goods. LG sent out a service technician who admitted he didn't know why it was happening, yet LG officially claimed… Read more
"nothing is wrong" and refused to fix, replace, or refund the unit. When I escalated the issue to The Good Guys while the unit was strictly under warranty, their solution was to tell me to sell the faulty fridge myself and buy a new one from them at a discount.
Neither company honored basic consumer warranty obligations. I was continuously passed back and forth until the warranty period expired. Buyer beware: if something goes wrong, neither LG nor The Good Guys will stand behind the products they sell.
Extremely disappointing experience with delivery and significant damage to our property done by their delivery service. Considering prices are comparable with other retailers, I would highly recommend avoiding The Good Guys. Our experience with The Good Guys has been beyond disappointing, particularly in the way a delivery-related issue is being… Read more
handled.
We purchased a new fridge from The Good Guys and arranged for our existing fridge to be removed as part of the delivery. During the removal process, the hardwood floorboards were extremely damaged. The removalist subsequently acknowledged that they had caused the damage, and show us photos they’d taken from before the removal documenting the condition of the floor, without any of the damage. We were therefore expecting the matter to be handled reasonably and for the damage to be properly addressed quickly.
Instead, the process of getting the issue resolved has been frustrating and time-consuming. Despite the evidence of the condition of the floor before the removal and the circumstances in which the damage occurred, we have had to spend a significant amount of time following up and trying to get a satisfactory resolution.
The damage was to a rental property that we were moving out of a week later, so now this issue and delay is holding up our total bond being returned, which has obvious financial implications for us. Still no urgency or care has been shown.
I understand that accidents can happen during deliveries and removals. What I expected was a straightforward process once the damage had been identified and acknowledged. Instead, resolving the matter has required repeated follow-up and has been far more difficult than it should have been.
I’m posting this publicly because I think customers should be aware that the experience doesn’t necessarily end once the delivery is completed, particularly if something goes wrong during removal.
Lack of customer service, when clearly documented after 10am for delivery! People work and have commitments, I booked delivery date 8 days in advance for that reason.

I cannot express more emphatically how frustrating my experience with this store was recently. We ordered a fridge along with some other appliances which we collected that day, the fridge was in stock at another store so we had to wait to hear from the store as to when it arrived so we could pick it up. A few weeks later we moved house without a… Read more
fridge in our home yet so, I called to inquire about the fridge. Across three phone calls I was informed it had actually arrived the week before but was unwrapped and put out on the floor on display. I was reassured it was in perfect condition and would be rewrapped and put out back awaiting our collection. We collected it the next day and transported to our unit, it was definitely wrapped well with about 20 metres of bubble wrap. However when I opened the door it didn’t open properly and it was then obvious the fridge had been dropped at some point as the bottom hinge was skewed and the whole right side showed damage (significant dents all along the edges). The door did not open properly and when it was closed and the lower hinge protruded out from under the fridge. I rang the store and was met with a stern response about what I was required to do next to be considered for a replacement, I don’t know who spoke to me but they were female and spoke over the top of me during the conversation. I emailed the pictures the through and was then offered a replacement fridge and that it would be delivered, whilst the one we had would be picked up. During the course of several conversations we discovered there was no availability of a replacement fridge but we could be offered an alternative. The options were discussed and we decided on a solution, and was then told we would pay the difference for it. I objected to this given the trouble we had had already, suggesting the cost should be bourn by the store. I was told to wait and an alternate solution may be negotiated. The final offer was a suggestion that we pay a total of 250% of the original cost of the fridge we purchased to pay for the alternative. I then requested a refund and to have the fridge collected, which thankfully it was in good time. We sourced a comparative fridge from another store the same day and brought it home. Meanwhile the refund, which I was originally informed must be processed in person in-store, took more than 3 weeks and again, my insisting it be followed up by the store. Finally, we again were offered a solution as compensation for our trouble (a $100 voucher). Again, the solution involved us spending more money at the store. This whole experience was an absolute waste of our time and was frustrating over and over again across several weeks. It will be some time before I decide to shop with them again and I certainly don't recommend anyone else shop with there either.
We bought a Lenovo Yoga from the Good Guys at Castle Hill for my Daughter’s school laptop which stopped working within the warranty period, so we brought it back to them. They agreed to send it in to Lenovo for investigation and repairs. When we dropped the laptop into the Good Guys Castle Hill there was no physical damage at all to it. A week… Read more
later, we received a call from the Good Guys Castle hill advising us that “Lenovo were refusing to fix the lap top under warranty as the Good Guys staff had found physical damage to the case” and sent us an e-mail with photos. The damage was obviously caused by the Good Guys Staff who probably accidentally dropped it and of course they weren’t going to be honest with us about it. My Wife and I tried arguing with the staff that the laptop had no damage before we dropped it in to them, and that the dented lap top case was obviously caused by one of their Staff dropping it, but as we didn’t take photos of the laptop when we dropped it in, we had no proof. Will never do business with the Good Guys Castle Hill or any other Good Guys for that matter! Will shop with your competitors; JB Hi Fi and Bing Lee instead!
Very disappointing experience at The Good Guys Helensvale. I have been a long-term customer and have referred a significant amount of business to this store over the years, so this experience was particularly frustrating. I purchased a Cygnett power bank and a travel adapter. Both developed a fault where the USB-A port intermittently fails. The… Read more
travel adapter was tested and replaced, however the power bank issue was dismissed simply because the fault did not occur at that exact moment in-store.
I clearly explained that the issue is intermittent and occurs when all ports are used simultaneously over time. Despite this, staff only tested the product using a single cable and did not attempt to replicate real usage conditions. I was also asked to bring my own cables, which is unreasonable.
What made the situation worse was the conduct of staff:
* I was told words to the effect of “I don’t care how much business you bring.” * I was told that using a store cable for testing would be considered “stealing.” * Comments were made along the lines of “this is Australia” while explaining consumer law, which felt unnecessary and inappropriate.
The overall tone from multiple staff members was dismissive, condescending, and at times intimidating.
The only positive part of the interaction was [Name Removed], who acted professionally and indicated he would follow up with the supplier.
This was not just poor service—it was an uncomfortable experience over a straightforward warranty issue. Based on this, I would be cautious in recommending this store.
I wanted to purchase cooktop to fit into my existing space. Took in manual of my existing cooker so staff could determine a cooker that would fit into that space. I picked an Asko cooktop that I was guaranteed would definitely fit. Gas plumber arrived to install the Asko cooktop. It did not fit. I made a couple of calls to the Good Guys for them… Read more
to advise me what I should do. No return call was made until 4 hours later. By this time I had given the gas plumber the go ahead with the installation. He had to go and hire a grinder to cut through the granite to enable the Asko cooker to fit. The installation cost me an additional $300 which the Good Guys would not take responsibility for. Would love some feedback. Do you think the Good Guys should have reimbursed me the additional cost for their mistake. I’ve attached a picture of some of the granite that needed to be cut away.
The Good Guys – Misleading consumers I purchased a $2,000 Samsung refrigerator from The Good Guys, clearly sold as new and original. Samsung's refrigerators' lifespan is 10-15 years, and failed in less than four years, already unacceptable. What followed was worse. After back-and-forth between The Good Guys and Samsung, it was confirmed by… Read more
three Samsung representatives that the fridge has no serial number whatsoever and lacks basic Samsung identification details (compressor number, specification labels, etc.).
A branded appliance sold as “new/original” without a serial number should never happen. This raises serious questions about whether the unit supplied was refurbished, non-original, or otherwise not compliant with Samsung standards.
Rather than resolving the issue, The Good Guys repeatedly redirected responsibility to Samsung.
This experience is misleading to consumers and highlights a complete failure in product verification and accountability.
I would strongly advise buyers to check serial numbers immediately and not assume they are receiving genuine new stock.
Disgraceful treatment by Store Manager [Name Removed]. Purchased LG refrigerator (GF-V700MBL) for $2,700 in January 2025 (Invoice D0782654274). On 23 Dec 2025, LG's own authorized technician diagnosed a STRUCTURAL INSULATION FAULT in the cabinet. Why this is IRREPARABLE: The insulation is built into the cabinet walls during manufacturing - it's… Read more
not a replaceable part like a compressor or seal. To "repair" it would require dismantling the entire cabinet structure, which cannot restore it to factory-sealed standard. The LG technician confirmed this defect cannot be properly repaired.
This is a MAJOR FAILURE under Australian Consumer Law - the fridge is permanently unfit for purpose. I have the legal right to CHOOSE between refund or replacement.
[Name Removed] refused my choice of replacement, attempting to force a "repair" of an IRREPARABLE structural defect. Ignored my formal letter of demand and 16 Jan deadline. Formal OFT complaint lodged (CRN: 203225800958959).
[Name Removed] clearly doesn't understand consumer rights. AVOID.

When I rang The Good Guys at Pimpama, Riley was exceptional in trying to help me. He tried to ring Westinghouse and could not get any response and he then contacted an outside Contractor (Dave) who could come to my house in the afternoon. After many attempts Dave was able to prise the microwave out. He returned the microwave to Good Guys at Pimpama.
Riley rang me a few times that day to keep me updated on what was happening. This past week Riley has kept me informed. Tegan (Team Leader/Manager) was also very helpful in sorting out the behind the scenes paper/computer work. Much to my delight, this morning both Riley and Tegan had advised that I will be receiving a replacement microwave and Dave will instal it tomorrow. They also gave me another 5 Years Gold Service Extras for the new microwave.
We have always used The Good Guys when purchasing electrical products and this experience has show me that staff members such as Riley and Tegan at the Pimpama store, are incredible and are very, very helpful. Keep up the great work Riley & Tegan.
Follow-up · Installation from an outside Contractor sent by The Good Guys, very efficient and professional. It did not take long for him to install my new microwave. Perfect fit and the old microwave was taken away when I was having problems with it initally. You can't go past The Good Guys at Pimpama Qld for great service.

The Good Guys Tingalpa were outstanding this afternoon. Our daughter’s brand‑new iPad 11 arrived damaged, and the team stepped in straight away to help. They organised a replacement on the spot, kept everything stress‑free, and were genuinely friendly throughout the whole process. It turned what could’ve been a really disappointing day into a great experience. Really appreciate the professionalism and care — thank you, Tingalpa team. Show details
Looking to buy 2 TV's. Not too flash with technology. Attended Castle Hill store 9 September 2026 and was served by Martin G. He was informed, knew the product range and supporting technology and was very helpful. I was impressed with his attention and knowledge. I will return later this month to make my purchase. Thanks, Martin and Good Guys.
Had a delivery today Wednesday 3 Sept at Kensington Grove by Good Guys Delivery Drivers, they were on time, very efficient, kept me informed every step during the day to where they were and went above and beyond to help me. Could not be happier with the delivery service. Wish I could remember there names, so I could advise who they were.

⚠️ I would NOT recommend buying products from The Good Guys, and especially NOT Gold Service Extras (GSE). I bought GSE partly because of its advertised “120% Price Guarantee.” My experience trying to use it was one barrier after another. The Good Guys can provide the 120% guarantee when The Good Guys itself lowers the price, but my experience… Read more
with competitor promotions was very different.
First, I found a substantial saving through The Good Guys’ own 20% Digital Wallet promotion. My claim was rejected because it was considered a “new customer” offer.
I then found another 20% weekend promotion from Retravision, an approved competitor and an offer open to everyone.
This was another substantial claim — more than $200 based on the matched product price — but the required online Price Guarantee system could not recognise the lower price, even though The Good Guys’ Price Beat system could recognise the exact same Retravision price on the same day.
The advertised 120% Price Guarantee also only applies to a very limited list of approved competitors, not just any retailer.
The Good Guys requires the claim to be submitted online. When the system could not recognise the Retravision price, I could not submit the claim at all.
Later, I found a much smaller price reduction at Appliances Online (AO). This time, the Price Guarantee system recognised AO — in fact, AO was the only competitor available to select, showing that the system already knew AO had the lower price.
But I still could not submit the claim.
The form required a URL even though the field was not marked with an asterisk as mandatory. Without it, the claim could not be submitted, yet the URL was too long to successfully enter.
The system directed me to the online chat for help.
The chat was absolutely useless. It was a BOT, not a real person.
I repeatedly asked for a real human because the online claim form was the problem. The bot simply kept sending me back to the same online claim process.
Only after the online process failed and the chat could not connect me with a real person did I finally call The Good Guys.
I was told that the Retravision promotion could be considered and was asked to email evidence for them to review. I did exactly that. The claim was then rejected because it was a promotional offer.
I disputed the decision by email and received no response. I called again, waited a long time while they apparently consulted a supervisor, and was ultimately told the claim would not be accepted and, in substance, that I could complain if I wanted.
And there is another important point: you can only make ONE Price Guarantee claim per product.
So: two substantial claims were blocked, while only the much smaller AO claim was eventually accepted — and that was only after considerable difficulty. I did not receive the substantial benefit I reasonably expected from GSE.
There is also another issue with price matching. When my product was price matched against AO, AO offered free delivery and installation. The Good Guys retained its own delivery/installation charge and reduced the product price instead. This lowers the matched product price and can reduce the apparent price difference available for a later Price Guarantee claim.
Consumers should also know that on 9 September 2025, the Federal Court ordered The Good Guys to pay $13.5 million in penalties following ACCC proceedings concerning misleading Store Credit and StoreCash promotions. The case involved 116 promotions and approximately 21,500 eligible consumers.
That case concerned Store Credit/StoreCash, not the Price Guarantee. But given my experience, I think consumers should know this history.
My advice:
❌ Think twice before buying products from The Good Guys.
❌ Especially do NOT buy GSE just for the “120% Price Guarantee.”
The headline says 120%.
My experience was barrier after barrier when I actually tried to claim it.
