Purchase through Mitre 10. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Some holes didn't align, rectified with the drill bit provided (minor issue).
There was a door channel missing so I contacted Sarah in customer service. Sarah was awesome to deal with, she organised the component to be sent directly to me. She tracked, provided updates and a delivery date.
Customer Service, Outstanding! Thank you Sarah!

Hi Steve,
We're so happy you had such a positive experience, unfortunate about the missing channel, however we're glad Sarah was able to resolve this for you so quickly. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review.

Originally sent wrong shed which required photographic evidence to convince Absco to rectify.
Followed instructions carefully and used pre-punched holes (not all of which had been successfully punched through).
Contracted builder to construct concrete slab which met the spec perfectly.
Walls of shed extruded from the snap-tite channels at both ends so decided to centre them.
End result can be seen in attached photos. Channels around perimeter of rebated slab do not fit together at any corner. Unable to use pre-punched holes to attach roof at co...

Hi Ben,
We're sorry to hear you've had issues with your purchase. We've sent you a private message to get some more information to see where we can help and find out what has caused the problem.
The Absco Team.
Because of space constraints I needed a really small shed and I found one at Absco thru Bunnings. It being non-standard, it had taken a couple of weeks for it to arrive. Knocking it up was very easy and straightforward but there was an issue with one of the hinges welded the wrong way. I contacted Absco via Bunnings the next day and they replied within 15 minutes. I provided them with photos of the problem and they were already having the new part readied for shipping as soon as possible.
It was a short but very productive communication with Absco. Mistakes were bound to happen but I'm very happy with how professional they were with the whole issue. No dramas.

Currently talking to Absco - Great customer service and coming up with solutions to the below problems
- Pre-drilled screw holes rarely aligned. Took more than 2 days to build.
- Manual was anything but helpful on occasions.
- Concerned about some indicators of limited strength.
- Videos in app never worked.
- Set used to anchor shed to base isn't ideal for sheds on top of pads (cannot screw through the channels). Need taller brackets in such instances

It was missing a part, but I've wrung them up, and the issue was solved, they've sent me the part within a week, so it worked out OK. It was a experience, assembling the first shed.

Second AbscoSheds shed I have purchased and installed.
Again I’m super pleased with the product and end result. My partner tried purchasing from another supplier and is still waiting for her shed 4 months later. This was a simple pick it up at Bunnings (really not expensive on the grand scale of things) and install it.
So do all the screw holes line up? No, not all of them but so many factors can be an affect here. A simple 3mm drill hole fixes that. Really liked the instructions and online array of videos available to help with construction.
I’d keep buying them if I needed them. Great little sheds.

This is my second shed i bought from wholesale direct danedenong.
1st was a 2.6 x 2.6 china made.
Was a complete package with the concrete mounts.
Hex screws thruout.
Came out looking fantastic. Solid and strong and no uneven spots.
No video and dodgy instructions and yet perfect looking. Everyone who comes around asks if i got it installed proffessionally.
This time i thought id do the right thing and get Australian made. Regret that decision.
Got an Abco 3 x 3.
No hex screws. There clip lock system is dodgy.
No concrete mounts....

Provide concrete mounts inclusive in package and 4 corner mounts.
Also hex screws where possible.
That would be a start....

Great product, easy to erect (did it on my own), comprehensive kit was quite impressed with plenty of screws, anchor bolts, drill & screw bits also provided, most holes lined up ok, but not all, so expect to do some drilling, I mainly used the paper instructions, all parts are clearly marked, but on occasion I did watch the video for verifcation of process. Unfortunately, one of my anchor bolts snapped during final assembly so I called Absco for a replacement bolt (spoke to the wonderful Sarah), they ended up sending me another complete set of anchors which was terrific! Highly recommend.

Shed was easy to construct only taking a few hours,
The only thing which was slightly challenging was the part references were printed very small on some panels and then large on others so could be hard to find due to inconsistency.
Would definitely recommend

Though it’s easy assembly, the design is not robust enough! There are no supporting ribs for walls in the middle and no protectors for screw edges that protrude. Certainly there’s scope of improvement.. video app helps lil bit but missing details..
Design to improve to make it more robust.. with a few improvements it can be a better product!

Product is good for the price, will need patience for installation, some holes were only etched or not even etched which made it a bit difficult but in the end we are happy.

Works well and is waterproof which is great and easy and simple to design. And able to build most of it on my own with a few points needing 2 sets of hands.

Very happy with my shed & the value.
The key was the app for assembly. Have the longer approximate 30 minute video and build step by step.
Pretty Easy if you follow the instructions.
