After years of exceptional quality and service .......... sad ending – I still have some Tuffetts nickers. I also have Wundies and Farm to Hanger. Tuffetts are the most comfortable, best fitting undies I own. I search for Australian made in almost everything I buy. I suspected that Tuffies was in trouble when they rarely had my size available. Last order I placed, they took my money, did not deliver the goods, did… Read more

not answer my emails or phonecalls, blocked my emails. Fortunately, Paypal refunded my money. It is very sad that this company that made such a good product is no longer trading.

Might be a scam – I ordered from this company in the past and received great service and products. Unfortunately, when I order recently the company took payment without providing shipping information or the products I ordered. They did not respond to my emails either. Luckily PayPal refunded my money.

Can confirm other reviews of Tuffy's – The website is still up. They're still taking money. They have not responded to my enquiries about the order I put in a week ago. These people are doing serious damage to small producers. Who can you trust to give your money to? I guess this shows the value of a review website like this one. I will alter this review if I get a response. Show details

They are a scam – At least that's how it appears. I didn't get my product and can't contact....

Don't buy from them – I've ordered a couple of times before and never had any problems. But now it's terrible. Can't get in contact with anyone regarding products they haven't sent. Currently got the bank involved to get my money back. Show details

No product no refund no response – Ordered paid still weeks later didn’t receive the order. Lisa Nouh the owner isn’t responding to requests for a refund. Wish I’d seen these other reviews. Looks like Lisa is ok about receiving money without exchanging the goods. UPDATE: after several weeks wrangling and this review a refund was provided.

Wish I had read these reviews before ordering – I am not happy. I support Australian owned companies and if Australian made even better. I ordered from this company over two weeks ago. My payment was processed straight away and I received payment confirmation. Can't comment on the quality of their products as I have not received my order yet and shipping status still says 'awaiting'! I have… Read more

made several attempts to contact them via different contact methods with no response. Will attempt to get my money back through my bank.

No Order Received. No Refund Processed – We put an order through at the end of 2022 and did not receive it. We contacted the company numerous times and did not receive a response. We then contacted Fair Trading and was then promised a refund by Tuffy's CEO Lisa Nouh via email a few months ago and still no response and no refund. We will be taking further steps to ensure we and hopefully others receive their money back.

BEWARE – We placed an order, money was taken, no response by email or phone from the company and no products received.

Unfortunate Decline – This company used to be great. I love the idea of Australian made underwear, and the styles and colours were fantastic. The masks are comfortable too. I've made many orders over the years. But unfortunately something has happened and my last order was not sent to me. After some correspondence which petered out on their end I was forced to go to… Read more

Paypal to get my money back. I notice they're not coming up on Google Maps anymore, even though the website is still running. I hope Tuffys & Tuffetts makes a comeback, because it's an awesome product - but until they get themselves together, I can't recommend them.

Poor communication and customer service experience – I placed an order, no response to emails for nearly a week. I found a phone number, tried to call, no answer, I sent a text, received a reply a day later stating they're still in business. Then I received a reply to my email saying what I wanted wasn't in stock would I like a refund, I asked for the same product and said colour didn't matter. A… Read more

week later I received my undies. Placing the order and paying was easy, getting a response and the goods I paid for was a bad experience. Will not shop with them again.

No order received, no correspondence – I ordered from this website a few years ago and absolutely loved the underwear. Thought I’d get some more, but nothing received, no replies to emails. Luckily I paid with PayPal so got my money refunded. Shame! Love to support Aussie companies, but clearly they don’t do anything for their customers.

Government needs to step in and shut down their website – People are ordering online, giving their money and getting no product. They are stealing people’s money. Very bad company, stay away. I brought from them years ago and the products were great, only now needing to replace and lost my money. They seem to also have been removed from the Australian made website, but still using the logo. Scammers.

Tuffys & Tuffets, best not to bother – Purchased $70 worth of products, never received an order number. Patiently waiting for either the product or a refund and eventually contacted Fair trading. Even they couldn't make contact, so no joy there. They are still taking orders from what i can make out and many others seem to have had the same experience. Best not to risk losing your… Read more

hard earned dollars with these guys is my suggestion.

Shame an Aussie company could be so dreadful. Steer well clear!!!

One star because i had to.

Took money, no undies, no receipt no communication. Fraudsters!! – Previous purchaser and strong supporter of Australain made products. Ordered 4 singlets on 15/7/22, paid by credit card. Should have realised something was up when I didn't get the notification acknowledging payment and shipping advice. Waited two weeks because hey, supply chain disruptions etc. Sent repeated emails, no response. Googled phone… Read more

number - disconnected. Instigated recovery proceedings through bank, lodged complaint with NSW Fair Trading. Know its likely an exercise in futility but suspect they were trading while insolvent, which is illegal. Tragic if they have gone broke but at least stop your website taking orders - to my mind that tips it over from negligence and poor business practices to fraud.

Money gone, no undies! – Ordered from this company and the only correspondence from them was to say that they couldn't find my order. Asked them to look at their bank statement which would show my money deposited into their account. No reply. Do not order from them!!!

If I could rate zero stars, I would – Two weeks after purchase, I noticed that my order still hadn't been shipped. I tried to contact them via email and FB to get my order cancelled and be refunded. I received no response. Thank goodness I used PayPal, as they helped me get my money back from them. Its very disappointing when you are trying to support Australian businesses, to be basically scammed. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Beyond disappointing! – Yep, put an order in, 3 months later I still have no order, no idea if I'll receive my order, no idea of whether I will receive product or a refund all of which has been requested... really? Why would I ever buy from your company again when you pay good money and get nothing!!

If I could rate them lower I would – I placed my order several months ago. After exchanging several emails where I requested they send me my order or amended order or refund my money nothing has happened. Still no order nor have they given me a refund. I feel like they have stolen my money. Don’t used this company.

Atrocious Customer Service – I wanted to support an Australian business so ordered something online. No idea whether the product was any good because I didn’t receive it but was eventually offered a refund, which was processed promptly. This was after two emails and one message to them asking what had happened to my order. Atrocious customer service! They have lost this sale, as well as others, just because they didn’t respond. I was beginning to think it was a scam!

How can we feel comfy ordering things on line! – I received confirmation of the product but I made a mistake and ordered small size.. I DOH! Regardless I went to the website no phone number by the way.. sent a message and it's been days with nothing in return. It says any problems and they will fix it straight away no hassles when next year? I will not be buying anything here again till they… Read more

They make to hard to support AUSTRALIAN MADE – I would like to say that I will order Tuffys again and I like the underwear don't get me wrong but the customer service is dearly lacking. They just can't get orders right and shipping is slow as.... The website has improved but the customer service makes it really hard to support Aussie made clothing. Please improve the customer experience!

Great quality, comfy fit – My family have been wearing tuffys underwear for many years now. The elastic lasts, they are comfortable, and the colours are great for separating each person’s collection from the wash. Show details

Trojan horse viruses on this website one will steal credit card and ID details – 30/03/2020 I tried accessing this companies web site every link I tried my Virus Protection Software would not allow a connection between their website and my computer, the links to this site are either infected with two trojan Viruses the first is JS:ScriptXE-inf [Trj] virus it is a powerful computer virus created with new technology which is… Read more

able to enter the target computer and execute malicious tasks secretly. ... JS:ScriptXE-inf [Trj] is not a simple virus. Many computer users who are not computer experts do not know that the virus is active in the computer. The other one infecting this companies web site is JS:CardStealer-J [Trj] this virus is a trojan JavaScript within an HTML file . The HTML attachment is used for phishing purposes and contains a form for entering credit card information with a submit button that sends the collected data to a specific server. I tried informing this company of the breach in their system compromising potential customers ID and credit card details but I cannot. I cannot because my Virus Protection software will allow no connection between me and Tuffys & Tuffetts website, I cannot find an Email address or phone number to alert them to their internet security problem. Only attempt accessing this companies web page if you have good anti virus software installed...it should do what mine did...allow you no access to the site

Very dodgy ! – First off I placed my order for 'Tuffys Crew Neck Muscle Tops In Black X 3 Pack' and received no order confirmation on their web site or via email, alarm bells rang then as every single online order I have placed before, and I shop online a lot, always give you and order confirmation instantly with an order number. Next I sent them an email… Read more

asking why but no reply, I wanted to call them but no phone number is listed anywhere on their web site, not even in a phone book listing. I was so worried I actually called my bank to cancel the Credit Card transaction but they couldn't do it without the co-operation of the company I placed the order with, I told them that Tuffy and Tuffetts have no phone number contact and they won't answer my email query, so my bank then said wait and hope the order goes through otherwise the money was gone. Two days later I get an email reply from Tuffy and Tuffetts saying my order had been dispatched and it actually did arrive another two days after that, with no signature required which is very unprofessional in my opinion. I opened the goods and they seemed of very poor quality with no labels attached. I gave them a basic rinse cycle in the washing machine, cold water no detergent, and wham they instantly shrunk at least one whole size. I can't return them as I was given no sales docket at all when ordered or with the goods when they arrived so I will just give them to our next charity clothes drop, which we do this time each year. Very poor and unprofessional company, please avoid !!

Awesome Aussie undies. Slow customer service – Tuffys Undervis are my favourite undies by far, and they are Aussie made! But Tuffys customer service is slow and website needs updating to ensure they can supply what they advertise. Following an issue due to lack of stock, I was unable to get a reply by email, only by PM via Fbook page. I would give 5 stars for the super comfy undies & Aussie made, but only 2.5 stars for customer service.

More than keeping jobs in Oz. Very comfortable undies – I thought l would give them a try and am pleased. Delivery was prompt and as ordered. The sizing is perfect. Comfortable. I have had them for a couple of months and they seem to be wearing satisfactorily

Great Undies – I have ordered from Tuffys and Tuffetts on four occasions - always quick delivery and great undies. Now I don't look anywhere else. They seem to last longer than Bonds, and are more comfortable too. It's worth waiting for one of their regular sales (usually around 40% off).

Terrible Customer Service – I purchased leggings and a bra from Tuffys. They sent me the wrong style of leggings and the bra was not my size (which is not their fault). When I asked for the right leggings they said they were sold out, and then didnt supply a reply-paid envelope for me to return the items. I then incurred the postage cost (which they offered to refund) only… Read more

for them to state the bra has a makeup mark on it which means they wouldn't refund it. I don't even wear makeup, and I took it out of the parcel for all of 2min! They also stated the bra should be in its original packaging, which I don't see as a reason to not refund it, given Australian consumer law.

Multiple mistakes on their part and many emails later, all I'm left with is strong dissatisfaction.

Aussie Made Undies ... and Comfy too!! – Have been staunch Aussie-Made supporters for many, many years now. Increasingly angry at how difficult it seems to track them down in the mainstream retail world. Feel kind-of shady because we have to do most of our shopping using the realm of the internet now because the retailers usually ignore them. But .... JOY ... they do still exist!! The… Read more

old Bonds undies factory was bought out by this group that I believe mainly compromised the workers that Pacific Brands sacked once they had grabbed their gov't handouts then shut their factory.

Anyway, they started out selling just basic men's (Tuffys) and ladies (Tuffettes) underwear. We have been supporting them for some years now after stumbling on them by accident.

Fabric mostly cotton or cotton lycra blends ... and VERY comfortable.

Their Achilles heel seems to be elastic which isn't as durable as it should be ... but to be fair, we haven't struck decent elastic for many years now, no matter the supplier.

On the subject of elastic though, it must be said that it is usually wide and super comfortable ... in fact comfort seems to be a major focus of this brand, and we would rate them simply 100% in this area!!

Wife and I have both had pairs of briefs that we've been wearing for over two years apiece, and the elastic is usually the first to become a little slack after a year or so - predominantly about the legs. The fabric itself is more durable and the colours seem very stable and fast.

The company is evolving brilliantly - their range has simply exploded in the past 18 months or so to include bras and crop tops, an amazing range of men's undies that now include yankee style trunks, and dazzling "tradies" hi viz models - which, true to form, are super comfortable.

More recently an entire children's range has been added. Our 12 Y/O girl is hooked to their super-comfy croptops, and our two young boys love racing through the house sporting nothing other than their bright and happy undies!!

A noted failing in lesser underwear is the tendency of the labelling details to fade completely. Not normally a problem in a one member household ... but when you have two boys who are just one size apart, it makes life very difficult when doing the folding. The mob at Tuffys have solved this with a super durable label, which has never faded in any pair of underwear we have owned from them.

Ahhhhhh .... the little things!!

Tuffy's send their stuff using either standard post - which always seems to be free of charge; or express post - for which one obviously pays a little extra. We have found that their ordering process is a breeze, and they always answer e'mails if necessary. Sales are fairly frequent, and one can join their loyalty club too. Pricing is reasonable, and very good at sale time.

Our only complaint would be the elastic as noted above (but as we said it seems to be impossible to source durable stuff ANYWHERE anymore), and the annoying "bling" that Tuffys send with their stuff. Little silver interlock chains that attach the labels, over zealous packaging, etc. Being "friends of the earth" we have made several requests to them to drop all of this nonsense - all we wanted were the products. These requests have always been acknowledged ... but obviously ignored by the marketing folks.

The only areas that stopped a perfect score from us!

If comfort is your thing, and you like to support local, we are convinced that you would be thrilled with this lot.
