NEVER use click and collect!!!
I live on a rural property 3 hours from my closests DJs. My daughter was in Sydney working so I ordered perfume via click and collect at 7;30am. She went to collect at 2pm and it was not ready. I rang them and they said it would be ready after 4pm and she would have to come back. I would receive an email in the next 30 minutes confirming this. No email ever arrived, my daughter went back at 6;45pm and still not ready. She has since left Sydney - i get notification 48 hr later saying ready to collect!! Who is going to get it?? Rang and they said they can post to me next week??? asked why not today and was told busy. Zero customer service or any offer to try and remedy the situation = cancelling order. Going to order via Myer online.

Wish I could give less than one star
I ordered a washing machine from them and website indicated it would be delivered on the next business day. It’s been four business days and I can’t get them to confirm when they will deliver. Latest advice is “maybe another 10 business days”. I have a family of five and can’t be without a washing machine for this long, hence I bought from a supplier with a supposed quick delivery. I work full time and also need to be able to plan ahead to be home for a delivery!
So I’ve tried canceling the order to purchase from somewhere else that can deliv...Read more
er in time...only they told me they can’t cancel the order and refund me without getting approval from the manufacturer of the washing machine. And it can take “days” for this approval. You cannot make this stuff up. This experience has been a nightmare. This is why traditional retailers in Australia are failing. They take the customer for granted using previous goodwill and deliver abysmal service.

Pillows with black hairs
Purchased 2 pillows on December 24th. Took 3 weeks to arrive. When they did, both pillows had little black hairs all over them. Absolutely disgusting. Have been trying to obtain a refund or exchange for 1 week now. Customer service keep advising that they do not do returns on pillows. I advised that this is not a change of mind situation, but that I have received defective products. This is a health concern. A manager in store advised me today that yes there are foreign materials on the pillow however he insinuated that they came from me when I...Read more
took the pillows out of the plastic casing in order to send photographic proof to the online customer service team via email. Manage in store acted as if he could care less. Appalling that they are taking no responsibility and laying the blame on the customer when the pillows arrived in this state. The reason they don’t want to refund or exchange is due to David Jones having to claim these 2 pillows under warranty and don’t want to take on the cost of these 2 pillows. Such poor business practice. Do not buy pillow from this fraudulent, deceptive company. I will be taking this further legally as I will not use these filthy pillows.Similar opinion?

instock but 3 weeks later not delivered still waiting
ordered washing machine online because it was in stock! 3 weeks later still getting excuses form them about the whereabouts of this item. Everyday without a washing machine is inconvenient. excuses inc. Bosch is in communication with David Jones about your item" " the manager is not here today" " Someone will call you tomorrow..... 3 weeks not one call ever! crap service hiding behind the call centre..... excuses excuses! obviously not in stock, just take money and worry about it later. Glad they don't sell medical equipment!

Horrendous communication
I wish I had read others reviews. I ordered a dishwasher on sale. I was told that Bosch would be in touch "soon" I did not hear from them so messaged online on Facebook and email heard that it would be soon. Got an email apologising and saying it would be dispatched soon. Then a follow up saying it is not available till February. I was offered to wait or a refund but The sales are now over and would cost me a lot more. I wish I had gone to the Goodguys like my initial plan was.
Avoid David Jones, there is a reason retail stores are going under, slow laggy communication and inept online sales without capacity to inform stock.

Worst customer service
Ordered an item and got a wrong model, took them a while to reply back and I was asked to return the item for a refund. I went to a DJ store in Eastland hoping they can sort out the issue but i was asked by the manager to email or call the customer support instead. When I sent the item back, I've got the refund but not the cost of shipping back the item. I called the customer support and the representative wanted to end the call soon because I don't have my credit card with me to credit the refund and I was asked to call back tomorrow instead. She said there are other callers waiting. It was a very bad experience for me overall and will never order online again.

Terrible online service
I purchased a dress online for an occasion.
1 week later it hadnt been shipped.
I followed it up with an email, only to be told "we cannot fulfil this order, our stock counter was out"
And of course by that time the dress was sold out Au wide.
All I got from David Jones was some generic, sorry for the inconvenience lines and had to wait a week for my $400 refund.
Don't risk ordering online with David Jones, they don't care about their customers and it seems far too common if you read other reviews!

David Jones is a fraud
Places orders on Black Friday. It has been more than 40 days and items are still missing.
Emailed customer service numerous times and only get the same reply that they will investigate.
Do not ever shop at David Jones.

Would give it 0 stars if I could
Terrible awful service. The call staff try to help but their systems are all over the shop. Noone could give me a delivery date and I received conflicting advice from every operator. I have been a loyal customer but never again will I shop there.

Click and Collect is meant to be convenient but has ended up being a massive headache
Ordered 4 things before Christmas and was advised the order would be ready in time. Two of those things were the same product (Christmas cake x 2), but after processing payment I received an email to say that the Burwood store only had one available and I received a refund for the other. I wasn't bothered by this, just a little confused as to why an automated database couldn't tell me prior to payment that there weren't two in the inventory at Burwood. Anyway. I then received an email to say two of the items were ready for pick up, so I went to...Read more
pick them up. Once I'd done that, the system sent me an email saying I'd picked up all remaining items, which I hadn't. I contacted them and they acknowledged one more item was still coming. I received an email on 19 December to say the final item was ready for pick up. I went in on 23 December and was advised it wasn't in still, it was still to be sent from the city store. I asked why I would receive an email if it hadn't been processed. They told me "this is happening to heaps of people" and that I should wait for another email letting me know it's ready. Massive waste of time travelling and parking in Westfield two days before Christmas. It's now 1 January and I haven't received an email so still don't have the final item. Needless to say it's a bit late now as a Christmas present for my daughter. Next time I'll be shopping elsewhere.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

David Jones stuffed up my Christmas order
After David Jones stuffed up my order number 9293811 the first time which I made on 28 Mayember, they didn't lodge the item to be delivered then I gave them a second chance by repurchasing the same item (Order number 10125506), with them promising me that it will be here in time for Christmas as I told them many times on the phone and via email that I bought this for my partner as a Christmas present which I originally purchased on 28 Mayember which anyone can say that it gave them plenty of time to deliver my item which they failed terribly, t...Read more
hen lied to me that Auspost had lost the item which Auspost confirmed to me by phobe that David Jones failed to lodge the item with them. I had to follow up with David Jones which they took more than 3 days to get back to me by cancelling my original order number. After I purchased the second item (Order number 10125506) on 18 December 2022, I chased them on the phone and email asking them to make sure that it will be National Express delivery since I can't do that online and I was on the phone with one of their customer service while I was repurchasing just to make sure that it will be posted as express parcel. Obviously they didn't do that which leads to my item is STILL IN TRANSIT until today 29 December. I wrote an email to them on 24 December at 5.38 PM and requesting them to give me a full refund and cancel the order immediately as there is no way that the item will be here in time for Christmas. I am extremely disappointed with how they conduct their online business. I heard nothing from them so I gave them a call today on 29 December at 10 AM to follow up with my request. I was on the phone with Mark/Customer service and he told me that they can't issue a refund. They want me to collect the parcel then go to David Jones to return the item then I can get my refund. It's unfair that the customer has to do that. They can just refund my money and contact Auspost to request return to sender as I have checked with Auspost.Similar opinion?

Lost my delivery and customer service took 3 weeks
Bought a Hugo boss bag from the online store, waited a week for it to post, gave me a tracking number saying it was posted, but the tracking never updated, the bag never arrived.
Contacted customer service many times, and they kept saying they'd be "investigating" it, it took 3 weeks for a reply, by then it was 6 days before Christmas, and they told me the package was lost and gave me a refund, which took another 5 days to process, and left me with 1 more day to buy a replacement gift
When I want to buy the same bag again when the refund processed, it was all gone.
Just an awful experience

Worst customer service ever
I ordered something on Friday and paid extra to have it delivered on Saturday. It is now Monday and I have not even received a tracking update. When I spoke to their customer service team I was told that Saturday orders only worked if you ordered before 10am on Sat - which is exactly what I had done - it was ordered at 3.30pm on Friday. Given that the online portal allowed the order to be processed I thought all was well. Unfortunately I was informed by customer service that the Sat option only works if you order on the actual Saturday which is...Read more
insane. If this is the case, they should make that clear and should not have allowed me to put through the order. This was a Christmas gift, and I am now heading interstate, so if the item ever shows up- it will be too late! Needless to say that I will be returning the item. No wonder sales have been flailing. Its 2022 and this type of poor online service just does fly in an age where other online retailers have amazing customer service and delivery options. They need to get with the times or continue to cede to superior online competition.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

False advertisement for Black Friday
Received an email during Black Friday period saying can get $25 gift card if spending $150 and above, and can receive maximum 2 gift cards either in-store or online. Made two order both more than $150 but didnt received any gift card. Tried to contact DJ by email and chat online, online guy said they received my email and were on it but never heard them back.

Online customer service at DJ is a miss because they send you something that you didn't ordered actually. DJ physical shops are nothing better either. A bunch of no one knows what they are doing.

Christmas gift from my Nanna price tags on the gift.
My Nanna sent my family two Christmas hampers, before they got here David Jones sent my Mum a email with all the items listed with pictures and the prices, when they arrived the "easy to peel off" sticker prices were on both on the hampers and did not peel off.
F#!K YOU David Jones.

CaleWaleasked
How do u get any further with a purchase from when u view your bag? There is no payment button or check- out option. I'm just stuck with a bag of stuff but can't purchase it. Am I missing something or not doing something right. I am very tired. ? Oh I can't add the screenshot.

Are you ordering on a mobile device? I sometimes get this when I use my iPad mini. If you turn the screen so it is landscape instead of portrait then you will hopefully see the checkout button. If this doesnt work you may have to call them.
Ask the company

I’ve been trying for hours to speak to the online division.. the phone answers then left on hold for more than 40 minutes.. makes you decide that you don’t want to purchase that desperately... very disappointing considering they are trying to expand with online ordering..

fulfil my order after all. I didn’t want their washing machine anymore and already had one from another retailer installed and working! If I’d waited on DJs I would have 19 days without a washing machine only to be told I wasn’t getting one at all. I can’t believe these clowns continually list stock for sale they have no intention of providing. Time wasters.
