The worst customer service ever!

I have been dealing with Big W's customer service for 4 weeks regarding an order I placed on their website. I purchased some window awnings on Big W Marketplace from a seller called Salesbay (they're a shocking company to deal with but that's another story)! Trying to return the products I bought has been a nightmare. What I was sent was such poor quality and definitely not suitable to be used as windows awnings. The awnings were made from a cardboard type material with a plastic laminate type coating - cheap and nasty! Trying to get the product returned for a refund has been such a saga. Not only have Salesbay been shocking to deal with but Big W has been worse! FINALLY I drove a 3 hour round trip and returned the window awnings to Salesbay and they have refunded my money to Big W, but Big W is holding onto my refund saying it's been put "on hold" due to IT technical issues. What a load of rubbish! Big W have lied to me on so many occasions and have told me that my issue is being escalated, that someone will contact me to help me blah, blah, blah. Yep, this has been going on for a month and still no one from Big W has called me, or even emailed me, to respond to my request to escalate this issue. Then today I ring to question where my refund is and get told that they have my money but there's a delay refunding it to me because of their IT issues. I don't believe a word of it! I will NEVER buy from Big W again, not instore and not online, and would warn others to be very wary. Their customer service is a disgrace and they have treated me so badly. I'm tired of being lied to and strung along. Giving Big W one star is far too generous but unfortunately there was not an option to give them 0 stars, which is what they deserve!

Approximate cost: $480

Do not order on Big W marketplace unless you are 100 % sure of the item and contents. The website and return policy and involved costs make it simply not viable to order and return and item not described as is

Great service and if they cannot find what you have ordered they offer to replace with similar items that either cost the same or more, or refund the difference

have read reviews about this on line service and how some people have been stuffed around by delivery or have to wait a long time for their orders to arrive,i seen a special on line the other night and compared it to my local big w store and it was cheaper to go in store and buy the item.

So so disappointed in the time it is taking to fulfill my order placed a week ago and still has not been dispatched. If I had any idea the service was this slow I would have gone to the stores myself to pick up. Wont use this service again.

Big W Online is my favorite department / variety online store to shop at. It saves you time and they have a massive range of goods. I can't wait to shop there again.

I ordered online prints and when they arrived they have been cut incorrectly and the top 3mm of the photos was missing. I have now been discussing this problem with them for 4 weeks.
They keep delaying me over a $39.00 order by getting me to send back images of the submitted photos against the received. I have done this twice, but it was 3 weeks before they answered my original compliant and I still haven't received an answer. Don't bother with them. it was not worth it.

Shopping online can save you some money with their online specials. Some products are only available online and it saves the effort and worry of department store visits. They can be a bit disorganised around xmas but usually they are really good at delivering your items too.

Not a bad way to shop with these guys over the busy Christmas period but the delivery cost to my area was a bit rediculous.

Love big w online. Great as I have 2 young children, I can order what I need online and get it delivered for a small fee. Obviously if I order large items it cost more but so much easier then shopping in store. If its out of stock in store I can most likely find it online too. I have used the layby feature as well. So much easier. Highly recommend it

I use Big w online quite regularly. I use it for online laybys as well as buying. ive got a layby on for a trampoline at the moment. pay a set amount each week by Direct Debit and when the layby is finished they send it out. Postage cost is pretty good, except if you have bulky items its abit dearer, but thats to be expected. Overall ive had good experiences with Big W. Ive had a big layby in the past and everything turned up in good condition and door service

I usually do the annual toy sale layby online but after last years experience, I decided I will never be doing it again! Our whole order got sent to a previous address, and the staff I spoke to about it were no help and were quite rude. I always use Big W online for normal online purchases etc with no hassles, But will not be doing the toy sales oinline again!

i often order online with bigw as its so convenient with 3 kids its soo easy to browse through their catalogues purchase an item or place a layby..it offers great payment plans that are affordable for your budget..you can zoom in to products are read the descriptions of them ..i think its a must especially when buying an item that you dont want your kids to now youve purchased especially for christmas..i love how they offer the no deposit layby for toys for christmas it helps to be able to pay smething off for a few mths then have it delivered just before christmas without the lil one s knowing..

I love the fact that when Christmas starts approaching, u don't have to leave your house, zig zag around other people, feel the need to rush cause everyone else is or take forever to find a park. You can just sit down in front of your computer and casually browse through the easy step by step site to find what u are looking for and after a few click u have done all your shopping and are back to doing something else that needs to be done! Best invention yet

I love shopping online with Big W. It's an easy site to navigate and find what you're looking for without any effort at all, if you become a member and sign up to their newsletters then you'll receive some fantastic offers like free shipping days, discounts off specific products for a limited time and l've even had $10 - $20 vouchers emailed to me to use online if l haven't ordered anything for a while. Shipping for me has always been within the same week as ordering so they do process orders very quickly which is great.Highly recommend to all.

I have used Big W Online many times. I always love free shipping and try take advantage of that! Who doesn't love a good free shipping deal!! Majority of the time though, it's cheaper and less stress to order online than go to my local store.
I have probably placed 10 - 20 orders, and I am yet to encounter any problems. Delivery has always been efficient and smooth.
