Kogan.com Reviews Summary

Kogan's reputation is significantly marred by recurring complaints regarding customer service and product reliability. Many customers report issues with faulty products, lack of effective communication, and difficulties in obtaining refunds or exchanges. The automated nature of their customer support is frequently criticized, leading to frustration among buyers seeking assistance. Conversely, some customers do express satisfaction with specific products, particularly electronics that function well over time. Overall, while there are positive experiences, the overwhelming sentiment highlights a troubling pattern of inadequate support and misleading practices, prompting recommendations for potential buyers to exercise caution.

I ordered 2 TV's and 2 Wallmounts.

Each product was sent individually with a different courier. I didn't have the option to track the parcels and support was useless.

On arrival, neither of the wall mounts could actually hold the TV's despite being within the correct weight and size descriptions on the website. The wall mounts flexed and twisted under the weight causing the TVs to tilt dramatically. It was seriously unsafe so I had them removed.

Now I have TVs sitting on the floor, some big holes in my wall from the faulty wall mounts and Kogan's support has not yet responded (Been 5 days so far and counting). Not to mention now I have to pay someone to come and mount the TVs again once I find a company that doesn't false advertise.

Ordered a sofa bed through Kogan. One half of it arrived on time. The other half seems to be in a black hole somewhere. The support keeps sending me around in circles and won't let me submit a report or enquire and their courier company has no information on the missing part.

I purchased some rubber training bands from Kogan. They provided me a tracking number, but this proved to be a bogus tracking number!
After 3 months the goods did not arrive. They promised a refund, but I have never received it.
After 4 more weeks of chasing for the promised refund the goods arrived. I sent them back unopened. They will not provide a refund as they claim the goods are not the same!
Liars and cheats. Never buy from Kogan, you will regret it if you do

I am trying to contact them from 1st of June. So far 5 emails, no reply from koan. Very disappointing. I need to return the item so that i can reorder the correct item. What kind of a service are you providing? You take time to send unwanted emails all the time, but cannot get back to us when we need your service.

Failure to deliver
June 1, 2020

Ordered an item on the 30th of april 2020, never arrived! After several emails I was told that the item was lost, was asked if still wanted the item or a refund, I advised that I still wanted the item provided it was delivered within five working days! No luck, I was then told that if I wanted to kogan would refund the full amount within 1-2 business days! Three business days have downed and still no refund!

Fantastic
June 2, 2020

I recently purchased a Kogan 24 inch Smart TV. Having read some of the reviews, I was a bit concerned about whether I had done the right thing. I had not been able to find a Smart TV of such small dimensions but this TV fitted the space perfectly. The service was prompt, the TV was easy to set up and the picture is clear and I love it.

BEWARE! Kogan present themselves as a single business, but actually are handing off responsibility for many purchases through their website to other suppliers. They say they will guarantee the delivery regardless, but it seems this guarantee is meaningless. Just try to get them to offer a refund for something where the supplier offers endless excuses for not delivering and doesnt even bother to answer their phones. Kogan offer no help and take no responsibility. They say on their website they will call if you ask them to, but they never will. They just hide behind lengthy email delays or dont even respond. Avoid dealing with Kogan. Buy elsewhere.

My product was delivered to the wrong address a month ago and I've been in contact since trying to get it re sent or a refund. They're trying to force me to go out amid the pandemic to find a witness for a random form I need to submit if I even want them to look at my case. Contacted the ACCC for help because that's how bad it is. Don't shop here. Trust me

I purchased several clothes hangers from Kogan.com, which did not come cheap, believing I was buying quality. How wrong I was... it was just poor Made in China crap, flimsy, thin, unhandy... I had to struggle to put a T-shirt on one of them. Of course, I returned the item, but I had to pay the return postal fees and I was also charged by the seller with a "change of mind" fee. On top of everything, they're spamming my email address every day with commercial advertising! Don't take anything from them even if they give it to you for free!

I bought a monitor last month and the after they marked it as posted. I waited for two weeks for it while it was Express post and didn't received it. I followed up with Auspost and they said Kogan just scanned the label and didn't post the item. Contacted Kogan and they wasted another 2 weeks with saying we posted it and it's delayed due to COVID-19. At the end they said there was a problem in our warehouse and couldn't do it, and at the moment we don't have it in stock anymore!
They offered refund or store credit and I've chosen to get refund but now after a week I still haven't paid and they are not responding to my communications!

They are an absolutely dodgy business and literally fraud.

Received my purchase within two working days. Very happy with the quality and paid less than half of what I would pay for a similar product in the shop.

Money Scam
May 6, 2020

I ordered a product online (which took FOREVER to turn up) to only realise that 30 days later after not reading the T&Cs correctly that I was charged an ongoing monthly subscription fee. If i wasn't on top of my bank account i would never have realised I had signed up for that - the clause is hidden right in the body of the T&Cs. I cancelled my unknown subscription immediately and reached out to Kogan who hid behind their T&Cs clause and said I should have read the full contract before hitting accept. Scam. Never buy from them.
