Buyer Beware! Ubuy ripped me of AUD$ 50! My last order placed delivered in late Jan 2026 was delivered short x1 unit. I immediately reported the shortfall, by email, after opening the parcel, and included a photo of the inside of the box and its contents ( being x3units). I appropriately requested a refund for the missing unit which was never… Read more
forthcoming. I followed this up again in May 2026, and Jun 2026, I only received a generic email, no refund, no apology. I posted a review on Trust Pilot and lo and behold UBuy responded stating that they had delivered all x4 units, which is a complete fallacy. This is disgraceful customer service, particularly given that the order prior to this one was also delivered short of a couple of units and an order prior to that one was delivered with a handful of units broken due to inappropriate packaging. I did not receive all x4 units, I only received x3 and UBuy should have honoured a refund because failure to do so is THEFT. Will never shop with them again! Order no. 182601123210.
It is very hard in Australia to get amircan car additives. Ubuy made that very easy. And also good prices and fast shipping. Shipping was a bit pricey but worth it. Show details · 1
My recent experience with Ubuy has been highly disappointing due to the misleading way products are presented on their platform. My order prominently displayed a photo of a full box (a multi-pack), yet I received only a single loose item from that box. While the specifications did mention "1.93 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)," pairing that text with a photo… Read more
of a large pack is extremely confusing for consumers. One should be able to expect that the product image is representative of what is actually being delivered.
Unfortunately, Ubuy’s customer service takes zero responsibility for the content their sellers post. Their stance is that the product "technically" matches the description, regardless of the visual deception. The fact that 57% of buyers rate this seller with only 1 star clearly indicates a structural problem that Ubuy is failing to address. Be warned.

“bait and switch” AKA “drip pricing”? I was looking for a particular air quality meter – a Temtop M2000. I found an offer on Ubuy (U-Buy.com.au) for a bundle for the M2000 combined with a second (in-house) model S1. The combined price wasn’t particularly outstanding compared with buying the two separately, but I decided I was willing to pay the… Read more
extra for the convenience.
Multiple screens later and suddenly the price has jumped from $429 to $541. The shipping cost alone is nasty when there was no warning. But this suddenly added “Service Fee”!!!!
I really hate sites that try to lock you in by adding unforeseen extra costs after they have gathered all your data (address/email/phone etc).
According to ChatGPT …
“In Australia, drip pricing can breach the Australian Consumer Law if the headline price isn’t a genuine price most consumers can actually pay. The ACCC has gone after airlines, ticketing platforms, and accommodation sites over exactly this behaviour.”

⭐ 1-Star Review – Very Disappointing Experience I placed an order over a month ago and never received the product. Throughout this time, I repeatedly contacted customer support by email, following up many times. Each time, I was told: • “Your order is coming” • “We are checking with the warehouse” • “We cannot track it at the moment” After… Read more
weeks of chasing and stress, they finally admitted that my order was lost in the warehouse. At that point, they said they could not do anything except cancel the order and promised a refund.
They claim the refund will be processed within 24–48 hours and may take 7–10 business days to reach my account, but after such a long delay, misleading responses, and poor communication, I have very little trust left.
This experience caused unnecessary stress, wasted time, and complete disappointment. If the refund does not arrive, I will have no choice but to contact my bank for a chargeback and report the issue to ACCC Australia.
I will never order from this company again and strongly advise others to be cautious.

Amended review based on Ubuy response. Ubuy may be okay when everything goes fine but the real test of companies is when you have a problem. Ordered a frother product for Australia and they sent me an electronic product not built for Australian conditions that failed very quickly. Initially they blamed me for not getting a transformer. Well… Read more
it’s your responsibility to supply a product fit for purpose in Australia. Then their customer support and dealing with the issue was initially very disappointing.
They initially refused to refund, repair and or offer a replacement.
However after posting my reviews an excellent senior manager got involved. He apologised and they have refunded. Thank you.
Note if it wasn’t for the incorrect product supply and then poor initial support I would have given 5 stars. Three stars accurately reflects my overall experience.

I have used Ubuy multible times, and every time I have been very happy with the ease of ordering, and the timeline of delivery from the USA which is very quick. Thank you Ubuy!!! :-) Show reply
I purchased two tennis rackets from the Ubuy online shop, and I’m extremely satisfied. The quality of the rackets is excellent, and they were exactly as described. Delivery was smooth, and everything arrived well packaged. They feel great to play with, and I’m very happy with my purchase. I would definitely recommend Ubuy to anyone looking for sports equipment.

I would recommend them for their customer service and prompt response to enquiries. The product i received was not entirely suitable but still worked for its purpose better than other solutions and was a company that sold through ubuy who were happy to help me further not i didn’t see the point of sending anything back. I really liked their responsiveness and customer careb throughout. Show reply

If I could give 0 star I would. I purchased an important supplement for my cat with ckd on 29 of November. As of today it hasn't been shipped 16 of December. On my many requests to return the money I was told to wait another 24 hours and then another 48 hours and so on. I think today 17 of December they claimed that they finally shipped out. BUT… Read more
I don't need it any longer. Time is of the essence for me and I got it from other place. I NEED YOU TO RETURN MY MONEY ASAP. Thanks for nothing

ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME. Do not buy from here. I purchased and paid using paypal, they said they needed proof of payment, which I provided and then they cancelled my order!!!! Id*ots and very unresponsive. STAY AWAY if in Australia!

I have been a regular buyer of a 100ml… I have been a regular buyer of a 100ml sunscreen, always paying around $100. Recently, I ordered from Ubuy and was shocked to receive only 50ml but still charged the full $100. This is not a mistake, it’s clearly deliberate. They have priced the smaller size to match what other retailers charge for the full… Read more
size, knowing customers will assume it’s the same product.
Customer service refused to resolve the issue, insisting I ordered 50ml, ignoring the misleading pricing.
I do not recommend Ubuy at all. Their pricing practices are deceptive.

Liked the Espoma organic cactus/ chilli fertiliser concentrate (not buying water). Found it on Ubuy, was sent from USA to Australia very reasonably priced and fast. Show reply
I was really impressed with the service from this company. I ordered protein bars that I couldn’t find in Australia and they gave me the quickest delivery date compared to other sites and it was delivered by that date with regular updates. I would definitely order from them again. Show reply
I loved being able to be able to buy the brand of orchid fertiliser I had been wanting to try for quite some time. I received exactly what I had ordered and in record time. I was very happy with the service from Ubuy. Show reply

Honestly id never use or trust Ubuy Australia again they were Honestly the worst to deal with. I brought an item and paid for 3-6 days delivery (express) once the time had passed and there was no updates to my order is reached out and was told 3 times in the same week that it was due that day and would arrive by the end of day. This never happened… Read more
obviously I then reached out and asked for a refund because the service and support team were insufficient and just lied and was told to wait a further 2 more business days as it was finally escalated. I asked the member what would happen if nothing was done in the 2 business days and he assured me something will be done and it was their highest priority. 2 business days later I reach out and yet again nothing has happened. I ask for a refund again and im told to wait again I refuse and say ive been waiting and the person says ive sent this off to my cancellation team wait 1-2 business days for them to process it and 7-10 business days to recieve it. I proceeded to ask for my issue to be escalated as I wanted to complain and wrote my story out. I was then hit with sorry this has been done now please wait. The company will not help you from what ive heard things dont show up and when they do its usually the wrong item. This is the worst customer service I have received and I urge everyone to avoid buying from them at all costs.

Awesome product, shipped faster than expected from US to AUS, only downside was in geo deliveries with no comms - so I assumed they missed part of the order initially!! Show reply
Items exceeded expectation and everything about purchasing online with Ubuy was fantastic. Great communication and updates along the way. I prefer using Ubuy to another known company. Thanks Ubuy, keep up the customer service. Show reply

I’ll admit to being nervous not knowing much about Ubuy but they really came through for an animal medicine that you can’t buy in Australia. Good communication on the status of the order, and arrived in the estimated timeline. Would use them again if required! Show reply

Because Amazon once double-charged my Mastercard due to a refund mishandling error, I permanently deleted my account. Thankfully, Ubuy Australia was the only retailer in the country that stocked both models of the uvBeast UV flashlights I was after. While the total cost was higher than I expected, it felt worth it — not only because it was my last… Read more · 1
option within Australia, but also because Ubuy’s customer service was outstanding and answered all my questions. In the end, I’m very happy with what I received.
I purchased an item from Ubuy Australia. And the item happened to be a fake. My complaint was efficiently managed by Aayush Ayas from Ubuy internal team and they refunded the full amount. Very satisfied with their customer support and the process and I recommend you to transact with Ubuy. Show reply
Product exactly as described and in perfect shape when delivered. Exactly what wanted, delivery was reasonably fast. Very happy with my transaction, will use again Show reply
First time user of uBuy. The process was easy and the item was accurately described. The item was located internationally through uBuy. It was delivered in a timey manner. This transaction with uBuy was very positive and I am glad to have used them. This is a genuine review as I was satisfied with uBuy. Show reply
Very satisfied with product & service. I foolishly never read all the small print, so was a bit of a shock at the end total bill. Of course, the product was sourced & sent from America & Yours Truly lives in Australia, so certainly increased the final bill. But I'm still a very satisfied customer & will be dealing with Ubuy again, in the very near future. Unable to enter proof of purchase, only Invoice number. Many thanks. Show 2 replies
Really happy with the service offered by Ubuy Australia when I purchased pet medications from Germany. First off, the order cost me less than another supplier based in Australia. Secondly, Ubuy's communication was great - they had set up automatic notifications on WhatsApp with DHL tracking, and I received the delivery in about a week. Lastly, all… Read more · 1
