They just don’t know how to spell ‘Customer Service’
I bought a fridge from these delightful folk and paid for same day delivery. 16 days later, after a couple of trips away, I rang them to ask where the fridge was. They located it and when I asked for my same day delivery charge to be refunded I didn’t hear from them again.

Simply poor service
Never making the mistake of going back to this 2nd World again. The time and effort to make an online purchase was completely ridiculous. I ordered a benchtop dishwasher online. Great, I needed to replace a broken one and there was one with a 5-year warranty, lovely.
Only now they tell me it's only 2 years, after waiting 4 weeks for the item to be available. When I tried to find out how long it would be they offered me a floor model slightly cheaper, then I found out it was only.
[name removed] was alright at replying to emails, but [n...Read more
ame removed] was terrible - she was huffy and annoyed that I asked her to find out if the warranty listing was incorrect, but of course, the item was taken off their site. [name removed] said she expected the customer to screenshot every panel of the checkout, and they wouldn't add the warranty details to their invoices or confirmation because she didn't think it was part of the purchase. Her attitude was very strongly how the customer is an idiot. She did get the IT team to add the product back on the website, but low and behold, it wasn't the same as when I purchased. Terrible service, terrible people and really unimpressed with having to chase down a simple purchase for a month. I don't think they would have followed up if I hadn't.Similar opinion?

NO STAR AT ALL
Purchased a tv one week ago online purchase. First email stated short wait 2-3 days, second email stated 10-14 working days it would be ready for pick up in store, third email received today states "could possibly be another 3 weeks or more we are unable to provide a date"
So you are selling stock you don't have 2nds World which isn't legal....
Your customer service is absolutely appalling as are your estimated wait times!!!
Shame on you!!!!!

Lack of service
My simpson front loader washing machine came without plastic caps and an adjustable spanner.
I phoned 2nds World Mentone and spoke to Jason 3 times in 3 weeks asking for the plastic caps as they were supposed to be supplied with the machine and were made to cover the holes left by the transit bolts. Jason gave a variety of excuses, even blaming Electrolux for their delivery times. Finally in frustration I telephoned Electrolux myself on Monday and the plastic inserts were sent out overnight to my home address. I received them on Tuesday afternoon. I will never purchase anything there again.

Possibly dodgy
I ordered an oven online. 2 days later they tell me there is no stock, cant get more, and suggest I buy something else. I asked for a credit which was done promptly. However, the said oven was still showing as available online a month later. The price seemed very cheap - possibly too cheap. I do wonder if they just try to get you in this way to spend more money.

The worst shop ever
We recently bought a dishwasher from 2nds world Cremorne and they took 6 weeks to deliver and they installed the wrong colour dishwasher. They never apologised! I called them so many times and they always say they’ll call back but they never did. Really bad service. I can not trust them. I will never use this shop as this was the worst experience.

Fridge faulty twice in 18months
I bought a fridge freezer s900 in within few months had to have a new door because kept frosting now less than 18mths old the fridge part doesn't work. I was told warranty only for a year!! I cant afford to replace a fridge or pay for repairs after only 18mths. I expected it to last at least 5 plus years. Very upset and disappointed i have brought heaps from there in the past but not anymore when i can pay nearly the same and receive a fair amount of time for warranty. Please check warranty cus you will probably need it.

Avoid!!! Very dodgy
Ordered a large fridge which worked fine. It's now suddenly stopped working after less than 6 months. Rang customer service and advised they aren't responsible for a refund. According to consumer law, they are!

Fridge ordered terrible customer service
Fridge ordered Thursday from the Castlehill store, delivery promised for Saturday.
Unorganized sales staff by the name of [name removed] did not put the order through correctly and although multiply phone calls by me to the store they were not able to resolve the issue for delivery as promised. I had to make all the phone calls to be kept in the loop. Will never by from them again going back to the good guys where they deliver as promised and customer service is outstanding. Worth the extra money.

Castle Hill 2nds World
Called 2nds World Castle Hill, on advise of rep, placed a deposit on Fujitsu Aircon on 22/4/18 to benefit from $50 discount and cashback from Fujitsu. I was advised I can pick up the equipment any time. I arrived at the store on 29/4/18 and they would not honour the discounts on their web site ending on 22/4/18 despite assurance from the sales guy at the time of deposit. I asked about my sales contact, first they told he is on holidays and then told that he was made redundant. That's a shame because this guy was quite helpful. The new sale...Read more
s representatives simply brushed off the previous commitment as advised by 2nd World representative and were rude including an abrupt manager. I must say previously I dealt with Auburn store and staff were very helpful. Experience at Castle Hill was misleading, incompetent staff and wasting customers time.Similar opinion?

Embarrassing customer service
Absolutely ridiculous customer service. Took ages for the customer service to organise a time and we have been advised multiple times that contact has been made, however this was certainly not the case as they kept repeating the wrong mobile number. Now after it has taken almost 2 months to organise the delivery for the appliance, the dishwasher has been delivered with a broken piece to it. This was one month ago and we are still waiting on a broken piece that was meant to be shipped to their store 3 weeks ago. This has been the most painful ex...Read more
perience with customer service in my entire life to the point where I thought its hidden camera and someone is playing a prank on me. I would honestly never order anything from there again as the whole procedure was an absolute joke and waste of time.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

We purchased a brand new washing machine, when it was delivered, the box has been removed. So it arrived at our place like a second hand item, and when we called the shop, we’re told that it happens sometimes because with the box it’s too big to fit to our door. Then they should have informed us before they remove the box. It never happened before when we bought other bigger appliances like TV and Refrigerator. Not that we want the box so much, but we’re surprised to see a brand new item came without any box. Imagine buying a brand new mobile phone without the box. We’re one dissatisfied customer.

Unhappy with delivery cost of fridge
BEWARE OF FRIDGE MEASUREMTS !
Despite measuring all areas where fridge had to go through the property the fridge was 1cm too big to get through my front gate.
$99 first delivery & $75 redelivery!
I don't mind paying a delivery fee and a smaller redelivery fee but a total of $176 is maddening!!!

Good price and easy to transact with
I bought a Fisher & Paykel dryer from 2nds World. Easy to buy from and they arranged delivery pretty quickly during the holiday period. Quick in and out on the delivery as well and gave me exactly what they promised.
I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 as they did misbook our delivery, but still got it there the day they promised. Also, the store was a bit dates and cramped- but I also did not expect a luxurious store based on their value proposition. All in all a good experience.

It didn't last 4 years and neither retailer or Fisher and Paykel want to help
Our washing machine has stopped working properly and neither 2nds world nor Fisher and Paykel are prepared to help fix it. Given our last washing machine lasted 11 years, only having had this one for less than 4 years is a huge disappointment. I wont be buying a Fisher and Paykel product again and I will definitely go to another retailer whom I have had better experiences with when dealing with products.

Talk to Harvey Norman Customer Care. They bought 2nd World; https://www.channelnews.com.au/breaking-news-gerry-harvey-buys-2nds-world/.
If not resolved, then escalate it to Fair Trading and they can guide you the proper way: https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/help-centre/online-tools/make-a-complaint
Hope it helps!
Do update us if it is resolved and how.
Cheers

I purchased a Samsung 470L top mount fridge in September 2017. It was sold to me as a factory second on the basis of minor dints on the side. This is reflected on the code on the receipt. A couple if months ago it started freezing food and linwood in the fridge, even in the lowest setting. I called Samsung servicing who asked me for the serial number. I checked the crushed and found that it had been scratched off. In two places. Samsung told me it was a refurbished model and without the serial number they could not validate the warranty. At no time did 2nds world tell me I was buying a refurbished fridge without a warranty. Obviously I would not have gone ahead with the sale. Samsung could not assist me and referred me to Sydney Appliance Centre who have quoted me between $500 and $600 for repair. I am not going to pay this for a fridge that I am not confident will ever be in good working condition given yhsf it was sold to me as faulty. So 2nds world I have no other option than purchasing a new fridge barely two years after purchasing one that I expected would last me a good few years. I am angry that I was misled and ripped off. And it seems there is no recourse. The 2nds world website does not even have any links on it. I cannot find a customer service number anywhere. So 2nds world, what are you going to do to help me?
