Way too small for an XL sizing - waist elastic is 60-70cm before stretch to 100cm+ which is way too restrictive. Legs are too small as I am a cyclist my thighs are bigger, causing them to ride up in a "V" shape cutting into pelvic area. I wanted to tear them to shreds within an hour. Show details
Genuinely the worst work socks i’ve ever bought. From day one they do not stay up despite being brand new and the correct size. The elastic is doing nothing and i’m spending my day pulling them back up. Extremely unhappy with my purchase and won’t bother trying the brand again. Show details

I engaged Oliva And Sons Electrical in Ipswich QLD to handle the electrical wiring from a granny flat to a new meter that would be placed in our meter box. And to connect a new hot water service. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely… Read more
disappointing. The hot water service was initially connected with only a 10-amp fuse, causing it to repeatedly trip and fail to function properly. So he had to come back and fix that.
After the initial payment of $2,189 (the agreed contract price for the entire job), I was then informed of an additional charge of $3,943.50. With other possible extra charges. He was trying to rip me off for this extra amount even though the first contract included everything. The process of installing the new separate meter was also delayed for months due to incorrect details being provided to the energy company.
Despite offering an extra $1,000 to resolve the issues, the contractor failed to honor the original agreement and left the job incomplete. I ultimately had to hire another electrician, who completed the work for significantly less. As a result, I am out of pocket for the amounts already paid to Oliva And Sons Electrical.
I strongly advise against using their services. The work was substandard, the communication poor, and the business practices and ethics questionable. Proceed with caution if considering this contractor. I cannot recommend his services. I have copies of both charge contracts.
Follow-up · No refund for what we paid out. Work never completed. He only hooked up a hot water unit and never did the main job for what he was hired for by his own contract. He dishonored his own contract. I had emplyoy another firm to do the work.

Don't bother. Literally worn once and washed once then found stitching had come away. Terrible quality. Edit. Sent pics to company, they have provided a gift voucher. Great customer service. Thanks. Show details

I was gifted a soap on the rope. It's a cake of soap shaped as a car what can go wrong. Just unrapped it used it hung it up then roap came out of the soap. It's way to heavy for just putting a plain bit of already slippery polyester rope then put the cake over it. It needed at least some sort of grip. So broke and can't use it. Really bad quality… Read more

Purchased 3 pairs of men’s underwear and they arrived like this . I brought these as a gift so you can imagine the disappointment when I opened the package to see them like they were . I have emailed them directly and their response was as follows . Please read response below and continue to look at the photos I sent them . Tradie takes… Read more
sustainability seriously so we have used biodegradable bags for our products. Unfortunately this means that the bags begin to degrade from the moment they leave the factory. Not to worry as they can be removed and put into your compost and your product is 100% fine with a much smaller impact on the planet. As they’re gifts we suggest you simply remove the biodegradable bags before gifting All the best !
Thanks Jodie for taking the time to leave a review.… Read more
My wife got me 6 pairs of underwear from Lowes. They fitted well but kept falling down, the elastic was not working. I tried boxers and briefs and they all were the same. They did not keep anything in while sitting down and worked their way down your leg when walking. Show details

Don’t believe the marketing hype - more spent on celebrity endorsements than product or website development – Just received my order - the quality of fabric, construction and the fit are dreadful - I find it hard to believe that a competent designer passed what was sent to me. I’ve read your replies to all of the negative reviews citing the same or very similar issues and you are either trying to fool us, the consumers or just fooling yourselves. The… Read more
stitching is inconsistent making the already loose fitting fabric twist and gape. Your crop tops provide absolutely NO SUPPORT as the fabric is so thin and stretchy making the sizing way out - it is so cheaply constructed (more like a $2 Temu fail than what I’d expect from an Australian brand).
I have to return everything for a refund as the items aren’t fit for purpose and fit nothing like what is shown on your website. There is no way the crop tops would provide any comfort or support during any physical activity whether work, sport and even day to day wear.
Further annoyance is that your website menu navigation link to your return policy at the bottom of each page goes nowhere. Searching ‘return’ gives no answers. Not happy, Jan
Your product is nothing like the marketing hype and unworthy of celebrity endorsement.
TRADIE strikes me as a cheaply mass manufactured, off the shelf purchase from a non Australian trade show - you’ve found a super cheap product/supplier, added your trademark and achieved a successful brand profile by adding Aussie icons and sporting celebrity endorsements to create undeserved hype.
The fact that many of your website’s bottom menu navigation links lead nowhere decreases my confidence in professionalism. By now your website should be polished and functional. Maybe spend less on celebs and more on product development and website.
I’ve opened a PayPal case for an entire refund. As per Australian consumer law, you should provide return postage and a full refund as the goods are faulty, not fit for purpose and would not have been purchased had I known how poor the quality is.

Bamboo and quick dry undies – I bought both the bamboo, and quick dry undies. Both are comfortable and far cheaper than some of the alternatives of similar quality. Show details
Not quite as sleek as I would have liked – Purchasing online from Tradie is easy as. Little disappointed with the products though. Bamboo is cool and comfortable on the skin, but not body hugging, and it does stretch a little. With the size range being 14-16 it has to give a lot more than if it was just a size 14 or a size 16, and it does. Still, it does the job. Show details
Great communication from the start very happy with customer service – I was refunded a product I was not happy with and got some amazing breifs I'm very haooy with Show details

Very bad experience, the parcels were already opened and repackaged with a tape , half of briefs I have ordered are opened without any packaging, suggesting it’s returned items , when I contacted the customer service, they mentioned the packs are biodegradable and must have degraded during courier , Great with in 4 days the covered degraded .worst quality and I have to throw away as I don’t wear someone else items .

Bought my first pair Tradie underwear bamboo Carlton Blues. Delivery was great the price was good but as for the fit I would say they were ok but not as good as the brand of Bamboo underwear I have been wearing for years. I guess I will stick with my current brand. Show details
Thanks for giving us a crack Scott...appreciate your honest feedback. Cheers, The TRADIE Team
Products arrived slowly. My fault though they were the wrong size compared to most other brands I buy. Customer service were great said I could return and exchange. Although when I returned they said they only refunded me for 6 pairs not the 9 I returned. They said I only returned 6.. which was a shock to me I ordered 10 took one out to try it on… Read more
and realised it was way too big. Then I sealed the package up and sent it back. The second customer service person was horrendous. Will not be shopping with tradie again I am out of pocket.

Have been buying Tradie for my hubby & sons for over 5 years. Have noticed such a change in qaulity last two orders. So much thinner, not as soft, and the colour on the wd40 and paddle pop looks faded.

New standard is not as good as previous purchases. I gave bought Tracie undoes since 2017. My recent January 2025 purchases are already faded, thinning and the elastic weakened. I always wash in cold water and dry my underwear in the shade so this hasn't caused the problem. It's a quality issue. Show details

Too stretchy – These undies feel cheap in material and when I wear them they stetch out and become really uncomfortable I have the right size and everything but there just so stretchy and annoying I would only really wear them as a resort if I have no undies left
Hi Lincoln, sorry you didn’t like the undies. Could you confirm what style you purchased?
Cheap thin fabric not big enough for my big bum – Thin cheap fabric I don’t know what people rav about be mindful to video your delivery I tried returning unopened items and was given the ran around if I hadn’t contacted PayPal I don’t think I would have gotten any refund I’m sure I would have been told my returns were crinkled well I was sent crinkled product shoved in a too small post bag Hi… Read more

These are great! – On Step ones for a while, looked for better price. Came across Tradie. Ordered my medium size…super comfortable, much more softer on skin than step ones and fit perfect everywhere. Show details
Sizing too short to be comfortable – Mens Hipster Briefs...Sizing I'm the waist is ok, but definitely on the small side in regards too the length being much to short compared to all other brands I've bought. So pretty uncomfortable to wear as the waist band sits too low and not around the hips. Show details
Sizes are extremely small – Ordered 10 pairs of the ladies long leg underwear. Usually I am a 12-14. Ordered size 14 and they're all far too small. Make sure you order at least 1 and possibly even 2 sizes bigger than you think you need. Not happy. Show details

Very comfortable underwear – Great fit very very comfortable I had a hip replacement and it helped support the hip and scar I have throw out all of my old underwear because these support me better I would recommend these to anyone who is thinking about buying these to just buy them fantastic product Thank you Tradie company well done Show details
Great underwear – Great underwear - very comfortable and breathable. Easy and quick to wash and dry. Just found the bra a bit large. Will definitely be ordering more Show details
Comfy Undies that don't cost a fortune – If you've had bamboo socks or undies you know how comfy they are and these are no exception. The bamboo fibre tradie uses is very good quality and at a price you can't argue with. I normally wear an XL in other brands but the L in tradies is perfect for me so I think their sizing runs a little large but they are really great underwear for the price, will be buying again.

Love the product – This is my second time ordering and as per last time very easy to order and delivered on time. They are great underwear no riding up and very comfortable to wear. Show details · 2
Not quite what I'd hoped for – I purchased the bamboo no chafe trunks from the Tradies online shop. The online shopping process was simple and straightforward and the products were available at a good price (I took advantage of a discount deal). I found the underwear to be somewhat loose, resulting in occasional pinching of the scrotum. The stomach band was comfortable, which… Read more
contrasts with a different pair of Tradies underwear I purchased (Work and Surf trunks, same size) where the stomach band was quite tight and caused discomfort over a day. The mid-length trunks are longer than I found comfortable, and despite advertising no roll-up, they did.
Hi Mike, thanks for your feedback. All the best
Worn out after 3 work shifts – I bought 2 pairs of the bamboo no chaff underpants, a blue pair and a pink pair and I have only used them for 3 weeks and I had to throw the pink pair in the bin as they already have holes in them so I checked my blue pair and they too are getting holes in them... Mind you I was only using them both once a week as I have other underpants I have… Read more
used for the other 3 nights I work and those ones are like 5 months old with no issues. So I've only used these tradie underpants for 3 nights of work and they are ruined, what a waste of money, I'll stick to getting stuff from Big W.

I’m hooked on tradie – So comfy I havent bought another brand to try, the tradie lady boxers are fantastic, doesn’t ride up, no chaffing and it’s bamboo, so being a firefighter means I can wear it under my turnout gear. I will be buying more, only downside is only has one NRL team. Show details
