Good site with good discounts
I found this site when searching for a specific item (Casio watch). I was pleased to see that they had it at $100 cheaper than anywhere else. It didn't take long for the watch to arrive either. I didn't have to contact customer service so I can't comment on their efficiency.

Nice price terrible packing.
This is how the box arrived after I removed it from the packaging.
I sent a message to Toby Deals with these pictures and got no response.
I guess the cheap prices come at a cost.

Great Prices, terrible customer service
I purchased a phone through Toby Deals. Excellent price.
It took many weeks to arrive.
I sent them an email after a few weeks asking about progress. I received a reply nearly a month later, almost 2 weeks after the phone arrived.
Great prices, very long delivery time and terrible customer service responsiveness.

Keep your expectations low...
Pros:
- My phone arrived, eventually
- It was in good condition and is the correct model
Cons
- It took 30 days from the day I ordered, even though i paid the extra $25 for express shipping
- I wrote to Toby Deals service email twice during that period to get an update and they never responded
If you have patience and can handle waiting a month, then I can recommend Toby Deals... If not, pay the extra money in a local store so you can get the item you want immediately

I got a brand new phone sealed and in the box!
I bought a Xiaomi mi 9t off of tobydeals au, and then read the reviews..... Well... Wasn't I scared! The reviews were either 1 star or 5 star no in-between. It took a couple days they sent order confirmation and then couple days after that I got my tracking number. But the tracking info seriously made nonsense! I was so worried I had been scammed as I had emailed tobydeals 3 times with no reply. To cut it short after about 3 weeks of ordering I started a dispute through PayPal.l, the phone rocked up the next day. Toby deals from my experience w...
Read moreere great bargains! But if you're like me and you want to know what is going on Toby deals are the worst site I've ever used for communication. Honestly I've done this review for all the people scared they have been scammed . Im 80% sure they're a real company just with terrible communication. I probably won't use them again just because of this reason but if you're not worried about communication go ahead, great deals great bargain prices. I would've rated 5 star if communication were up to scratch. I hope this helps anyone sitting in the fence!Samsung A51
Good phone, but this Chinese version. Need to use the adapter for charging. Any way they will provide the adapter. Shipping was good, but after I order it take 3 days to get an update.

Really good delivery time...but...
I have to say I was very impressed with the delivery time to Australia from Toby Deals. Very impressive.
However I do have some comments:
1. I was charged nearly A$30 more for my Dyson V11 Torque than the advertised price. Whether that was Toby Deals or PayPal I’m yet to find out...but I don’t know why I incurred this additional expense. I didn’t see a delivery charge added to the cost. I’ll check again and, if I’m wrong, I’ll amend this part of my review
2. The Dyson High torque head is totally seized! The brush won’t move at all! We will n...
Read moreeed to take it to our Dyson dealer in Adelaide. This will take our time and some expense to rectify. I think the product should have been checked prior to transport. 3. While Toby Deals got my new Dyson to Australia really quickly (see my comment above) once here Toll Couriers were absolutely hopeless. I won’t even try to list the things that went wrong with this courier service - it would take 2 pages!! Sorry Toby Deals but I’m really gun-shy about buying from a provider that uses this sub-standard courier service.PaulGreater Melbourne (Metropolitan), VIC

Product and service OK. Let down by TOLL, the courier.
Product and service by TobyDeals were good and would have earned 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that we were not home when TOLL attempted to deliver the parcel. TOLL left a calling card stating that a signature was required and that the parcel was being taken to a collection depot, but no indication as to where this would be. Numerous phone calls with TOLL (some of which we were told the parcel had already been delivered) and 10 days later the parcel appears in our letter box (no signature asked for). TOLL are completely incompetent and I ju...
Read morest hope I don't need to deal with them again. Note: this is the second time TOLL has done this to us in the last 5 months (ie. parcel goes missing only to appear in the letter box some time later). Sorry TobyDeals for 3 stars, but if you change your courier it would be 5 stars.The reviewer stated that an incentive was offered for this review

Good for the price point.
Box was opened and had a 'not for separate sale' sticker on it, but the product was good, undamaged and cheap. Postage took awhile, but they sent it quickly. Worth the price.

Dyson V11 Absolute - wrong country plug
I live in Australia and was sent a Dyson for Saudi Arabia. I cannot read the instructions as they are in Arabic, had to register my product pretending I lived in Saudi, which makes me feel a little uneasy. My plug is incorrect 220V (Saudi) with a different prong. Toby Deals offered to send me an adaptor but not the correct plug. I purchased independently an Australian charger/plug (240V with correct prongs) from Dyson in Australia.
good product, terrible delivery
had no idea where the delivery was up to as i never received notification of progress. the item was never delivered to my home. i had to find out for myself where it was and picked it up one week after it was dropped off

Product as described!
The Nikkor 70-300 Lens arrived in the country as promised, but the local courier did not leave a 'Sorry we missed you' Card and I received the parcel 5 days later,and luckily I checked on the Toll Internet website otherwise, two more days and it would have been returned? :-(
The Nikkor Lens is as described and advertised, but the box was open with the accessories attached? I am just wondering is the package new?
Best Regards from Sydney! :-)

The product is excellent but the delivery is poor
The courier did not visit my home
I was not informed that my product had arrived 1 week earlier till I questioned it after 11 days.
I was told to pick it up from the distribution centre in Heidelberg. When I got to the news agency & gave them the shipment number, they said it was not on the system so they did not have it.
After refusing to leave the shop, they found it & said that the courier did not register it on the system & just left it in the shop.
I was hoping to have a pleasant experience but it did not happen.

Long delivery due to coming from oversea.
Long delivery time with no tracking info unless it lands in Australia.
Because it was coming from overseas. No tracking infor from TOLL but when it arrives in Australia I could see it.

Mixed feelings
Ordered a tablet from merchant. Their website said item was in stock. Noticed after a few days item hadn't been shipped. Emailed company and was advised that they are sourcing my item. Waited another week, checked website, still said item was in stock. Emailed company again advising of the website error (or possible lie). To their credit, when I asked for a refund it was credited to my paypal within hours. Just be wary that they advertise merchandise in stock, when it's not.

Communications need improvement.
I bought an Amazfit Bip from Tobydeals Australia on 6 Sep 2019.
On 12 Sep 2019, contacted the website to follow up an order. Received advise that the products are out of stock. However, on the website they reduced the product price further which means they are selling products they don't have!
(https://www.tobydealsau.com/en_AU/product/xiaomi-amazfit-bip-a1608-international-version-black-1.html)
20 Sep 2019, no update on the order. email and phone calls no answers.
23 Sep 2019 File dispute with Paypal. Then received an email saying the stock would be coming in on 24 Sep. Price matched offered and the watch was dispatched on 24 Sep.
It would be much nicer experience if they informed and update the restocking process.

Good product -annoying popup
The vacuum cleaner arrived on time and works well. The company kept me up to date with delivery times.
However I keep getting pop-ups on my screen from the seller and this is annoying. The adapter does not hold the plug very well.

Reasonable Prices
I could order easily but "free postage" does not always apply. It would cost me $35 to have the item delivered to my town. Also bigger discounts were immediately offered after I had ordered.
item as described.... mostly
Ordered a Seiko watch. Arrived in box with tags but no warranty manual. Took it to a local stockist who confirmed within reasonable doubt it's genuine but disappointed it's not warrantied. If it's definitely genuine (who would bother making an imitation Seiko?! They're cheap as it is.) then I don't expect any problems but still something prospective buyers should be aware of.

Good for the price
I found out about the deal via Ozbargin. This phone was around 140$ cheaper than other retailers and Tobydealsaug has a good rep so I bought it.
The phone is new-in-box and works fine. I was given a US style charger which is not ideal, but I did find and adaptor in the package so I'm glad they thought of that. There was a note stuck on the packaging stating the adaptor was included, which is nice to see.
As for quality, the phone is okay. The issues I have with it aren't caused by the seller.
Delivery was a nightmare, just the kind of munda...
Read morene I'm likely to have. Toll refused to deliver to Parcel Locker, sent me an unhelpful SMS, said they can't send it to my home address the next day as it was a public holiday in Brisbane (Ekka) and would send it Thursday between 8am and 5pm. They tried to send it on Wednesday anyway and of coarse I was not home. I had to pick up the package myself at their depo, which turned out to be a local news agency. Toll are bloody useless!The reviewer stated that an incentive was offered for this review
Questions & Answers
Kittyasked
I bought a Nikon camera and need this by end of December. I've sent email to them but no one response, I'm thinking to buy it from other store but I have put a dispute in Paypal, how do I escalate my dispute to get money back? The status in my dispute is waiting for seller's response, and the status of my order is "Paypal Reversed", what does this mean?
1 answer
It is in the paypal resalute center you have to let paypal review the case.
I had the exact same status but they never actually reversed it. you need to make paypal do it.

I emailed their support email but only got a response 4 days later.
They can be a bit slow with the dispatching and replying to emails but you will receive your phone.
Pls raise to PayPal asap. Toby deal closed business
If you paid by credit card company than raise with them

It's on its way. Calm down. 9 days is nothing. These guys need at least two weeks to ship anything, despite the times quoted on their website. I ordered the same Xiaomi smartphone on the 24th of November, and it only just arrived today. Although initially it ships via a courier called DPEX, it'll be transferred to Toll once it enters Australia. You can then continue tracking it via the Toll website using the same tracking code Tobydeals provide shortly after dispatch (not your order number).
Thank you very much, they finally replied to me via email, saying that it's out of stock and they are sourcing it... Hopefully I'll get it eventually, thank you!
Toby deals are closed down (bankrupted ?) as of 19 December 2020. See if they shipped it before that, if not... you might have to get your money back.
