Mimosa 20kg Timber Umbrella Base

published

Purchased 2 years ago. Initially worked well then the metal tubing starts to become loose. Impossible to repair. Best umbrella stand that we have bought is a cast iron one with no parts.

Handy little Vacuum

published

I purchased a Ryobi 18V ONE+ Hand Vacuum, it has a strong suction to pick up dirt anywhere, it can be used in the garage or home. It also has a small brush attachment for furniture and cabinets. I would recommend this product.

Embarrassed Embarrassed by the cashier.

published

Was at the register with my 6 month old and 3 year old, when the cashier demanded to search my baby bag. I was embarrassed and couldn't help to feel targetted because I was a single dad. A long line of customers watched me empty the contents of the baby bag.

I went to Bunnings Bonnyrigg to buy some paint. I waited and then looked for someone to tint the paint but no one came, so I left. That was the second time it happened. They should put a sign saying there wasn't anyone there to tint the paint instead of making customers wait. Worst service.

Rude Employee

published

Bunnings, having swallowed the competition is now a monopoly. Looking at the overwhelming bad reviews clearly Bunnings management does'nt care about their customers, I recently had an experience with a staff member at their Eastgardens, Sydney store. I asked to see the manager, he was contacted and asked to come and see me .He did not come.He was contacted again,said he was coming and did not show up . I rang Head Office,Melbourne and put in a complaint.I was told the same manager would call me within 24 hours.That was 50 hours ago and he still has not contacted me. Thanks Bunnings !

Unhelpful

published

Looking for blinds: unfortunately little advice, no samples, little help, little knowledge, no advice on price ranges either. We needed to see some practical examples before making our decision and to have questions answered in a knowledgeable way. Travelling to a hardware shop to be told to go online wasn't helpful, we do that anyway. Bunnings missed out on a sale and probably on our next one as well. Investing in knowledgeable staff might just pay off.

Ridiculous that they have no stock

published

I went to their store to get a bird bath. A pretty standard item with a few choices and apparently they were all sold over Christmas, yet Christmas was two weeks ago and nothing in stock? Waste of my time. Will take my business elsewhere.

Brilliant service

published

I went to Bunnings Vermont South yesterday, not really knowing what I wanted to put on my back patio. Jeff was in the gardening section and he helped me to choose a lemon tree, pot, soil and also metal stakes for my roses. Jeff is an absolute Gem, so anyone who wants some advise see him at Bunnings Vermont South. The delivery of these items was made the next day.

Well done Bunnings staff, I wish we had more people like you around, the world might be a better place.

Bunnings needs to know how great this staff member gives service to customers

published

Rockhampton Bunnings didn’t have Same solar lights I purchased couple weeks ago so I rang Yeppoon & lovely lady Tina advised me to call Bunnings in Mackay .
I spoke with top shelf lady NOLA at Bunnings in Mackay she went over & above to help my request found 7 solar lights I was wanting to purchase rang me back with cost of postage I paid for lights over the phone $304.86 Nola will have them posted tomorrow .

NOLA needs to be commended for her customer service she went over & above and at no time my request was an issue
It’s a pity more staff don’t treat customers like she did to me .
Thankyou very much NOLA you are very unique in retail area this day & age

Dishonest price matching on identical items

published

Today, Bunnings refused to price match an identical item - CSR Gyprock Easy-Finish Topping Compound 15KG. Bunnings price is $47.79 and Network Building Supplies in Revesby is $33.10 (online and store pickup available same day @ Network). But Bunnings want to factor in Delivery cost and staff don't know how to do that. I told the (I need to speak to my supervisor) employee that i was going to pick it up and that it was convenient for me at Bunnings. She sent for the supervisor to speak to me and I just left. Bunnings it's the same product!!! And you're sneaky and dishonest. Don't write things you don't mean. A real time waster going to Bunnings! Look at the price difference. Bunnings are overcharging over 30% than their competition

I feel I spend a lot of my waking life here, always have everything I need. I tell my partner I am at the pub if asked where I am, and normally get the response “rubbish your at Bunnings again”

Gutter Guard

published

Australian standard 3959 states that gutterguards should not be flammable. I have checked all plastic gutterguards at Bunnings and all but one are flammable. This means Bunnings are selling these products illegally.

Terrible website

Great hardware store, absolutely love it but you NEED a better online catalogue!
- product images references (with more than just 1 image)
- product options
- better keywords search

*P.S.: A minimum of 30 words requirement in order to submit a review, ridiculous!

This product doesn't work

published

I purchased a yellow bottle of LONG LIFE MOP & GLO. I am so glad that I didn't use it on my stone slate tiles. I decided to try it on an inconspicuous place, in the ensuite on ceramic tiles. It is supposed to clean the floor and leave a light sheen, but it has left a white coating on the floor instead, my tiles were brown and now have a white coating right across the floor. I was very careful to use this product exactly per the instructions and still this is what happened.
