excellent service from Dick Smith online. Love my new phone cover. Was kept up to date on where the parcel was at on any given day. Overall, worth the 5 star rating. Show details ·  1

Was so easy using the Dick Smith site. Actually, found the item required cheaper and the delivery cost was a lot cheaper than other places for the same items. Still waiting on delivery as only ordered a couple of days ago. Looking forward to receiving the product. Show reply

We were so impressed with our Alfordson office chair that we ordered another one. It's easy to assemble and very comfortable, and the fold up arms are fantastic for moving the chair under the desk when not being used. Show details ·  1

The website was easy to navigate with a good range of iPhones I was searching for. Payment went through seamlessly. The product arrived in 2 days beyond my expectations! It was well packaged and the essential parts were included. The iPhone looks as new and the first impression was very pleasing Show details ·  2

Needed a laptop for tafe, my first time ever owning one, so needing help from family to set it up, it’s plugged in and charging I got that far, I’m happy receiving it on time, only 2 days and was packaged beautifully and sage. The price was great and it’s what I needed, looks great! Just have to learn how to operate it. Show details ·  1

Edit: They helped sort the issue out! thankyou for taking the time to help me resolve the issue, I appreciate it. I bought two presents for my nephews in early December. One golf ball ( pictured) turned up instead of the pack of golf balls advertised. It was not what I expected when I complained to Dick Smiths. (whom I have been using for years… Read more ·  3

with no trouble online and in-store). They referred me to their marketplace seller, who said they would give me a refund but only if I paid in full for postage. The problem is that the item was falsely advertised and I expressed that I just wanted a full refund. Dick Smith kept referring me back to the marketplace seller. No one wants to take responsibility. So I passed on the issue to the ACCC and told Dick Smith's I had done so, quoting my complaint number, hoping the issue would be resolved quicker. I still have heard no resolution on this. The second item never turned up, so I flagged this to Dick Smith who again passed me onto the marketplace seller, who said they would look into it and to follow up. They said if I still didn't get the item within a week, to contact them again, so I did and flagged this to Dick Smith. The problem is Dick Smith doesn't want to deal with any of it, the fact that months have passed by now and they keep referring me to the marketplace seller. Dick Smith please take responsibility and deal with the issues at hand. All I understandably want is a refund.

Very fast delivery from Dick Smith. Have used the 8-page cross cut shredder a few times now. It's supposed to cut paper into 4x35mm pieces but doesn't consistently do this - see photo. The shredded paper needs regular clearing from the cutting mechanism (photo) or else the machine struggles. Using the rewind, forward buttons helps clear the… Read more ·  3

residue. I've twice had small compacted pieces of paper lodge in the feeding shute making the machine inoperable. They are difficult to remove. Overall it is doing the job and I'm happy with the machine, particularly given the low price.

I was very pleased how easy it was to purchase a phone case (Spigen) from Dick Smith. It was very neatly packed and delivered in 3 days. The phone case quality is outstanding in terms of phone safety and handling. Thank you, Dick Smith, for that. Show details ·  1

Hi , asked by dick smith for a review. We purchased a fortis foldable Pilates machine. It was delivered on the third day after purchase. It was easy to assemble and works well . We were not expecting a great Pilates machine like the gym has installed however what arrived far exceeded our expectations so we are very happy with the outcome. Show reply

Product hasn't even arrived yet. Well outside their promised delivery dates. This site just links to dodgy international sellers. Don't put yourself through it! Terrible customer service and a disastrous returns policy. Show details

 Follow-up  · Eventually arrived....BUT...didn't come in any original or genuine packaging. Appeared to be a knock off. Was purchased as a gift for a photographer friend, so could not be gifted as intended. After a LOT of emails and photos of what I was sent, I was eventually refunded.

Such a shame a good Aussie name has been tarnished. I would like to warn consumers from ordering from this site. My order is on its way, however, 2 weeks after I placed my order the card used to purchased my item was compromised. Still waiting to hear back from bank to recover my dollars.

 Follow-up  · Dick Smith got in touch. I was unaware of the annual fee charged to use this site, which is taken out 2 weeks after purchase, as you get 2 weeks free. I was refunded all monies, apart from a few weeks, which was after I noticed the fee taken out.

The card was compromised to purchase something from Dick Smith again. That purchase was not authorised by myself. Very disappointed.

The AirPods were delivered promptly and are as described. Great product. There was a problem with the package not having my name on it when it was delivered, which is a concern when it is being delivered to a workplace with over 30 employees. Please fix this. Show details ·  1

Dick Smith offer the oppportunity for free delivery and special offers if you sign on with them. After you have signed on you get an email about payments for signing on with them. You pay $14.99 a month with Dick Smith to get $33 back at the end of the year. You do the math. Well I get free deliveries from company's without paying joining fees.… Read more

Basically you will be paying a lot if money for your deliveries unless all of your shopping is with them which is unrealistic.

I was unexpectedly charged $129 for a Dick Smith FIRST membership subscription. I did not knowingly intend to sign up for an ongoing paid membership, and I was not aware that a yearly charge would automatically be taken after the trial period ended. The subscription terms were not made sufficiently clear during checkout, and the automatic renewal… Read more

felt misleading.

Unlike many other online marketplaces, Dick Smith charges a significant membership fee that many customers may not expect. Customers who do not regularly check their bank statements could unknowingly continue being charged. I also did not receive any invoice, text message, or email notification regarding the renewal charge, which made the deduction feel deceptive and lacking transparency.

After noticing the charge, I contacted Dick Smith support and requested cancellation of the membership and a full refund back to my original payment method. I explained that I had not intentionally used or benefited from the membership.

In addition, I previously experienced poor customer service with an order cancellation. I cancelled an order before it had been dispatched, however the order was still processed and sent out. When I requested a refund, I was told that I would need to cover the return postage costs myself. This situation could have been avoided if the cancellation had been properly processed in time.

At this stage, the outcome does not meet my expectations because I believe the subscription process, renewal disclosure, and customer service practices were unclear and potentially misleading to customers. I expect businesses to clearly and transparently inform customers before charging recurring annual fees and to properly process cancellations when requested. I am seeking a full refund of the $129 charge and improved business practices to prevent similar issues affecting other consumers.

Ordered a perfume for Mothers Day and paid delivery. It didnt get delivered but instead got sent to a locker, then to Kingsgrove , and now I have to take time off work to go find it. What a headache. Mothers has gone & still no product. Also contacting Customer service is not straight forward and simple. Will not be purchasing here again.

I received my parcel in speedy time for which I was astonished and grateful. Just one thing I would say, and that is the products in the cardboard packs themselves were not damaged, but the cardboard packets were. There was no bubble wrap or other surrounding the packets to avoid such damage. I checked the products and they were ok. I am happy nevertheless. Show details ·  1
