Dick Smith - Service needed, and complaint - Image 2
I've contacted customer service since 12th February, when I received a faulty machine...I've jumped through all the hoops and on 2 tickets, still waiting for help. My first ticket was :1720****, recognized on 14th February...still awaiting help from that ticket... So on Monday 19th February, I started ticket 1722****...it's now been 5 days for this, and I've received no help at all... This is an extremely sad state of affairs from someone I used to look up to as a 'great guy', now you're just an "elitist jerk". *** Smith, your halo has SLIPPED. Kindly tell me what I'm doing wrong with this product? I've done ALL the troubleshooting and the lid will NOT come off the jug... It does lock and unlock, but goes no further...I've now been waiting 2 weeks for answers...shoddy at best!

Horrible Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review Feb 28, 2024

I placed an order with DickSmith yesterday.

No more than 5 minutes after purchasing, I realised the deliver address was wrong and immediately asked to change the address.

I heard nothing from the company apart from a generic message.

After some more obsessive staring at my email I realised the delivery fee was also double what it was meant to be - so I obviously emailed the company again (as there is no direct customer service line) - still I got nothing but a generic message.

Almost 2 hours later I get an email saying my order has been sent out for delivery, with the wrong address might I add.

Again i messaged the company to get things sorted as I was working and couldn't spend the time looking for their number.

I heard nothing from them until this afternoon when they said the address had been updated, which i doubted very much - so i first went to the delivery company and then called them because there wasn't any details I could find with my tracking number.

I had a lovely chat with the customer service agent named Lynn who confirmed that firstly, the item hadn't been sent out for delivery, it hadn't even been scanned into their depot yet, and not only that but the address was still the wrong address in QLD rather than my current location in Melbourne Vic.

I will never recommend buying anything, big or small from DickSmith as any issues or changes needing to be made to the delivery or address will not be handled well or with any tacked.

I am still in the middle of getting things sorted out, and already canceled the order through paypal as I dont like to pay via my card on websites for the most part.

But the lack of clear communication, and almost impossible to find CS line, once this is settled, I will likely return the item all together and buy an identical treadmill elsewhere.

This has been an absolute s***show.

DO NOT BUY FROM DICKSMITH!

Very quick update, found a customer service line through some googling - called, got a pre-recorded message redirecting me to their "help centre" (which is both not a centre and not helpful) and then they hung up.

It's even worse than I thought.

I should have just kept thinking that DickSmith closed in 2015 when all their stores disappeared.

Cons:
  • Horrible customer service

Preferred solution: a refund on extra delivery fees, correction to address and a real attempt from the business at making their customer service better - its unacceptable in 2024 to have such appalling customer service

User's recommendation: Dont go and buy things from *** Smith, simple.

The product received is damaged and broken. I registered a complaint on the website immediately and was assured by an auto generated email that I will get a follow-up within 3 days, but it's more than a week now and no update on my complaint. And no customer care number available on the website.

I was sold the wrong item

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I ordered a UV nail lamp from *** Smith. I did a lot of research prior to buying as I wanted a particular brand.

Found it on *** Smith for a very good price. The photo that was advertised shown the lamp that I wanted with the brand written on it. When I received it, it was clearly another brand. I have emailed them multiple time and I have received no answers.

I am really disappointed as I wont be able to use this UV lamp as it not the one I have ordered.

They used a photo from a well known brand and sold something else completely. I am not too sure how to reach out to them to get my refund as I am being completely ignored.

User's recommendation: I would recommend to not order on *** Smith as they use false advertising photos and don’t reply to their customers.

Purchasing on line from D Smiths

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My wife did an order for me to purchase an mp3 player, the purchase process is so confusing and she is more tech savvy than I am. The purchase was made and we are waiting for our delivery to arrive, on checking our account there was a withdrawal of $10.99 from *** smiths on todays date. My wife checked and found out she had prescribed to some attachment called first without even knowing, our daughter explained over the phone how to cancel. Think this type of scamming to fool people into subscribing for things needs to be checked.

My system stopped working properly so I called to get help What a joke

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I bought a sound bar and 2 satellite speakers from Atlas TV in Victoria BC. Everything hooked up and worked perfectly. Then the speakers went out of sync and the volume wouldnt work properly. I called help line. The person helping me spoke very poor English and I was on the line for about an hour to no avail. He did not know how to help me on anything. He tried remotely again to no avail. Your help instructions didnt help either and I got 2 different friends to see if they could figure it out and again to no avail. I am highly disappointed about your support and products.

I ordered Occulus Quest 2 for the christmas present to my son. However, after waiting for a week, we received a small package containing Kogan power charger. I tried to contact but there is no proper and clear customer service contact. No one is picking up the phone in their contact centre. extremely poor customer services.
