Hit and miss (mainly miss)
I have used Coles online 6 times now: 4 for delivery, 1 click and collect in store and 1 click and collect locker (Shell service station). So I’ve given it a fair chance.
I would NOT recommend. Twice the system has crashed, delaying the ordering process. Once to the stage it would have been quicker to drive to the shops as the site was so slow. Another time the specials had not loaded and I got overcharged almost $30. To their credit once I complained they gave me a credit.
Also, WATCH OUT they send meat and veges close to their expiry. Once ...Read more
I got delivered a 2kg bag of potatoes on a Wednesday evening with a best before date of Friday (two days later). I love potatoes as much as the next guy...but that’s a whole lotta potato to consume in 48 hours! Once I selected the “no signature” option, as the only times available were while I was putting the kids to bed. Low and behold my doorbell rung at 9.15pm disturbing my baby’s sleep. Apparently “the machine” was broken so the groceries couldn’t be left without signature. To allow no signature meant I had to choose bags. ONE BAG ONLY CONTAINED ONE ITEM. ONE. Another bag just had two items. These are big bags. Lift your game Coles! Next stop Woolworths online.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Absolutely awful experience
Definitely not recommend from me at all. I won’t even start with the detrimental service. Including the advice from Customer service explaining that driver has the choice to deliver ( that’s fair enough) but they basically Rubish the reputation of delivery drivers by the way they pass on the info over the phone.
Do not do it to yourselves.Not sure if Woolworths is any better. Wish I checked reviews prior to contact Coles online.
Now what do I do for dinner and school lunches now I’ve missed an open store due to length of time38mins to get any close confirmation that I will not receive my shopping order.

Don’t turn up when they say, long good times to find out what’s going on
The Delivery system sends out a message to tell you it’s 15 minutes away, then when no one has turned up an hour and a half later, wait on hold 25 minutes to speak with someone who tells you that’s an automated thing and can often be wrong, here’s the real time: they’re coming in half an hour... if that’s how you want to spend your Monday nights, use coles online.

Apparently Card Declined. Lies.
My Card "Declined" which there was ample amount of money in the bank.
They couldn't deliver and I had to cancel the whole order.
No help from this business.
Woolies will be my new shop.
Disgusting and Disgraceful.

Not Happy Jan
I placed an online order with Coles to be delivered today (Sat). They delivered my order with the exception of two loaves of bread that they charged me for. I rang them, spent nearly 25 mins in a queue waiting for my call to be answered. When I finally got to speak with someone I was offered a refund. Told the guy I didn't want a refund, I wanted the bread I had been charged for & paid to have delivered to be delivered. He put me on hold then informed me that my bread couldn't be delivered until at least Monday afternoon as all the delivery spo...Read more
ts were booked. This is absolutely outrageous. They are inconveniencing their customers because they stuff up. Shouldn't the business be going out of their way to fix their stuff up, even if it inconveniences their staff? I will never use their online service again! I didn't want to leave them any stars but the system wouldn't let me.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

No substitute supplied
Order 1kg of butter tick okay to substitute option as i need the 1kg of butter they supply 500gm of butter on delivery saying that is all they have. Call to complain they advise they are sending out the missing 500gm of butter next day. Next day get an email saying they can’t supply the butter as no substitute is available ... complete bull dust gawler store is a massive coles and it is incredibly unlikely that the store has ZERO butter available. This is the absolute last time I use coles ... unreliable company with no integrity who continually stuff up online orders !

Horrible service
First time user of the online service, I decided to give it a try as I had misplaced my credit card, and left else where .
After placing original order, I didnt realize I had placed the order pick up at the "coles express" instead of the coles store which is located directly across the road .
Called the store, who informed I should go online to modify order which I did . The online service confirmed the changes, which I took a screen shot of .
To my suprise this morning there online service, still had the original order, called " cus...Read more

Terrible experience. Despite trying a few times now and leaving feedback (with Coles directly), it’s not getting better
So we use WW Click and Collect Service and thought we’d give it a try with Coles too (despite minimum order requiring to be nearly twice as much).
I tried half a dozen time (inc with delivery) and the experience has systematically been bad. Either the Items are of poor quality or missing or the replacement chosen is totally inadequate.
The online experience is average compared to WW (don’t track your purchase in store so limited recommendations on what to purchase unless you use online constantly, can’t leave comments on items, can’t pay wit...Read more
h gift cards, couldn’t select BYO bags until only recently (and had to pay for bags), some items are not available online despite being advertised in store, etc). Then when your order is ready, you supposedly are able to notify the store you are on your way only to find out it doesn’t work and that you have to queue and wait at least 10-15 min for them to get your order at the other end of the store. When you have a young child, it’s particularly unacceptable. Last time, my order was also one hour late. That meant I had to cancel my plans to take our child to the zoo when I had specially taken time off to spend the day together (and had ordered my groceries online to pack a picnic) - when I left the feedback, I didn’t even get an apology. It’s like they totally ignored it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Tried twice but...
First time they called me to cancel my order because their driver said they cant find a spot to park due to construction site around my home. I understand that the customer service tried his best to arrange an other option for me but failed to do to. So my 1st order has been cancelled. After i moved i tried to order again thinking there will not be any issue again. However i contacted the online shopping team asking whether i can also enjoy their 1st time purchase benefit (free shipping or 10aud discount on self collection). And the answer was no even i told them my order was cancelled due to their problem...really disappointed about this inflexible customer service..

Missing items again
Everytime I have placed an order with Coles Online there has been an issue. My main issue is items missing.....3 items ordered were not in stock after I had placed my order but my main concern is 3 items paid for were not delivered. Just really disappointing.

Unreliable
I can double check that a product is available, then get an email saying it isn't. Often items that are two for a discounted price become unavailable, and so you pay full price for the remaining item.

Ok For Home Delivery
The online experience isn't great it becomes confusing to find products and hard to look for what you want to buy. Also some products are not there. but the delivery is pretty reliable.
Cheers.

Leaves Much to Be Desired..
Okay, over-all rating I see is 2.5 stars. If I had never shopped at Coles and saw that rating, I wouldn't even bother opening this site to read anything; I would simply resolve to shop elsewhere. This is what I suggest you all do. For a major supermarket, they rate poorly on several levels. Their options are limited, for one. They tend to be more expensive than Woolworth. Their quality is inconsistent and the shoppers who choose the online customers' items could well be a team of monkeys. Frequently, a customer is either given the wrong ...Read more
item or the replacements are completely wrong and out of range as to what the customer might expect. Additionally, they quite frequently provide you with produce that is going off. The other complaint is that they are now upping prices of items before the following price-change day, Wednesday. When you write in a complaint they don't want to fix, they simply don't reply at all. Seriously, this 'super' chain is a super disappointment and is rapidly going south. Go for Woolies, Aldis, Harris Farm, anywhere, but Coles. They are over-rated and under-qualified as a so-called popular supermarket. I think a whole star is yet giving too much credibility.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Rely on weekly home delivery
Came on here to see reviews on product replacement. I decided that complaining about a yoghurt substitute was petty. I love the convenience of online ordering. I have no problems with the site, no problems with timely deliveries and no problem with customer service when needed. Bravo to Coles Labrador.

Technical issues with website - Constantly
the last few times while adding items to my trolley i have had to log out and back in as advised by their phone support, as there were issues. yesterday i was mucking around every half hour for 3 hours as items would not add to the trolley. i contacted support 3 times and in the end lost my delivery spot i was hoping to hold. today i had the same issues, i even opened a new account with a new email and some items still would not add. only incentive for me to do the order was because of flybuys and having a delivery timeslot available next day. ive never had trouble with woolworths before and i used them for an entire year every week when i had a delivery saver. definitely will be going back to them!

Marvellous Service, love the Pimpama Store who picks & packs for our area
I have ordered countless times online since 2017 and especially in 2022 when Dad gave up his car and license. I have found the service to be very well streamlined from online ordering to delivery to my kitchen counter. It's the rare occasion that the item/s I wanted were out of stock and I get notified in advance, same with any possible delivery delays. Thankfully, your service is mostly reliable. Could improve on FRESH fruit or Veg though, otherwise, fantastic, thank you.

Missing almost the entire order
Ordered some groceries online, arrives on my door step and is missing almost everything. A $160 order with about $50 worth of goods actually delivered. Apparently they don't redeliver they just give you a refund so I guess this is a scam where they charge you a delivery fee for nothing.
