Christmas Shopping Made Easy
I’ve never been a David Jones shopper until last Christmas when I’d experienced dreadful service in another store. I went into DJs Indooroopilly, loaded with multiple bags, feeling frazzled and not knowing my way around. A lovely staff member asked if I needed any help, he pointed me in the right direction. A few minutes later he came running back with a couple of massive carry bags for me to put my multitude of smaller bags into, which made carrying them all so much easier. Every department I went into, the staff were super friendly, helpful and offered guidance. It felt like the entire store was full of Christmas spirit. As a result, I left with a smile on my face, a spring in my step and I'm now a regular customer.

Service - The Lack Of
What on earth are you thinking by not providing your customers with the staff to process their sales? Lately, my experiences regardless of time or location, have sadly left a lot to be desired. You have reduced what was once a pleasure into “why bother” experience. Not all that long ago, a staff member would actually approach offering to assist you. Not any more. If you “win the lottery” and find a staff member, they are processing a sale whilst apologising to you and others for your wait, with a phone ringing continuously at the counter or one...Read more
close by (unattended, of course) - a nightmare - not only for the customer but this staff member too! Perhaps it is time to look back at what worked (I might add - worked well) and not continue down the road you are on, as you may find all the customers you once had disappear!Similar opinion?

Discount Scam
Went to david jones pacific fair to buy my son a birthday gift. Girls at the counter were very helpful. Suggested I apply for a loyalty card to receive 20% off my purchases. Turned out it was to apply for an amex card costing $19.99 for the first year. Of course my application was instantly declined by amex so no discount but now amex have all my details and are constantly calling & emailing for more information so they can issue me a card that I never wanted in the first place and no amount of me telling them that I do not want a card and to cancel the application is working. Don't fall into David Jones' trap

Respect I got from head of store.
Always had great customer service at kotara David Jones, as of today I’d say different I got asked to remove myself from the store cause they believed I was with a group of guys that were being rude.
I told Sarah (head of security) that I was not with them but she still made me leave so I done as asked, in the process she called me an idiot”. I know I’m only young but have never felt so violated whilst having a shop with my favourite shop was utterly disgusting the way she handled it.

Best customer service experience!
David Jones Bondi Junction is amazing for customer service. We recently purchased a Yamaha Sound bar over the phone and there was alittle mix up with the order. (We are all imperfect it’s going to happen from time to time). The important thing is how it’s resolved. Imran the assistant store manager handled, sorted and made a personal delivery to our home, hours away from their store on his day off, just to make things right. We didn’t need to fight at all, all was graciously taken care of with the utmost professionalism. David Jones Bondi Junction team provides the best customer experience you could hope for. We highly recommend shopping with David Jones. Well done to Imran, Mady & Jack.

We don’t need your money!
I bought a Bonds crop top/pants set on sale and asked if almost identical other set could be sold for same price but sales assistant refused the sale. No wonder the store is struggling. I prefer Myer and I’m sure they’d mark down a last set item just to get it off their hands. No wonder DJ’s is having trouble!

Very poor customer service.
I had the worse experience at DJ Bondi today. One of the staff called herself Grace was very rude . I was patiently waiting to pay for an item while she was on the phone perhaps with another customer. She shouted across the counter telling me It would be a long while for me to be served. I explained to her that I was being sent over from the other counter as they did not have the tools to unlock the security button. she yelled back" It is not my fault". That is what they call CUSTOMER SERVICE ….

Very bad customer service.

Terrible customer service in store and online contact
I used to love DJ’s but not anymore. My experience is that the staff and managers dont care and they dont respond to emails, written letters or live chat. If you can call waiting for 1 hour for a “live” chat response acceptable ? My mission was simple to track down a shade of DJ brand lipstick either in store or online. I went to Southland, Malvern, Chadstone and the Bourke St store over the past 12 months and absolutely not one person can tell me why their own in house brand is not being restocked. They dont ring anyone and just say - hey tr...Read more
y next week. The Manager at the city store wouldnt even talk to me as he was busy chatting with a friend about their weekend. His assistant relayed messages and just said - he doesnt know what is happening. As for other contact methods they have not responded to 3 emails or a real letter. I give up - never shop there again. Absolute waste of time. They should be ashamed.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Bad customer service
I had a very bad experience with D.J staff. I went there on 04/07/2019 thursday around 6 pm. The two staff of Mac cosmetics were very rude and uncooperative. I wanted to try new foundation but they were hesitant to show anything to me.

Poor Management
Being a past customer at David jones kotara I used to love shopping there until I started being harassed by staff in accessories. I was a regular when shopping for handbags until one young female staff member had come up to me and was abruptly rude, tried to put in a complaint but with her being management it was brushed aside.

Terrible customer service
I purchased an item by cash, the item did not have the security tag removed- I lost the receipt and now there is no evidence of me purchasing it even though their system scans the barcode and identifies it as purchased that day! I am confused, and I don't know what to do as I have a $120 jacket at home that cannot be worn because of the tag! The 5 people in customer service were ungracious and unsympathetic. I have been shopping at David Jones for years, and even have a store card. I don't know why I paid with cash that day.
Very frustrated and annoyed customer here, I did expect more professionalism from the staff as a trusted and highly regarded retailer.

Disappointed
We decided to pay a little extra for great food and service at the stores coffee shop. Not so. The queues to order took ages, not sure if the computer or the operator was too slow. Ordered poached eggs with CRISPY bacon. Specifically asked for NO BUTTER on the toast. We got toast dripping with butter and the bacon not crispy but extremely oily. The decor and staff look very professional, but it’s all smoke and mirrors. Our first and last time DJ

Overpriced Onkaparinga European Collection 50 goose feather and 50 down feather quilt
Today I bought an Onkaparinga European Collection 50 goose feather and 50 down feather quilt, queen size, supposedly reduced from $599 to $359.40. After getting it home I did a search for the identical quilt. Onkaparinga have the RRP as $399.95. and they had it reduced to $239.97. Please do your homework first. Totally disgusted with David Jones.

Never have anything you need
Today I tried to buy my 2 year old slippers for winter - apparently David Jones don't sell kids slippers. They never have the item I want when I go in. They used to make and sell good quality staples like woolen jumpers and nice socks. Now you can't even buy some kids slippers! But you can buy Baby Gucci. The last time I visited I couldn't find any nice socks - K mart has a better selection. I am not surprised they are loosing out to retailers like Muji, Uniqlo and M&S - the market for good quality, stylish basics is bigger than that for dubious "designer" goods.

Customer Service
Was shopping for suits in David Jones in Chadstone, was approached by a mature aged employee in the suit section. Offered to help us referred to our style "cheap" which then corrected himself by saying "more in our price range", we had chosen a style, although was a bit long, we had we were happy to have it altered ourselves. He kept insisting on us into purchasing a different suit, ignoring the fact that we had settled on the previous suit. Once realising this, he replied with "alright, suit yourself" and stormed off rather aggressively. Product is great, although service was lacking.

Friendly Customer Service
I was shopping in your store at Hornsby yesterday and met the 2 nicest people serving in children's clothing and women's clothing. I only remember Lynn's name serving behind the counter for David Lawrence, but she was the most humble salesperson and genuinely cared about my shopping experience by commenting on my selection and willingness to have a chat, which is very rare these days. She was absolutely lovely!

Does ANYONE remember what a joy it used to be to shop at David Jones?
The sad fact is that i doubt that anyone at David Jones remembers! If they did they would be embarrassed by what they see today. This morning I went to DJ's and spent just over $500, it was busy but it was made worse by retail staff chatting with other staff instead of or while serving, I waited patiently and made no comment. I I left to go on with my days activities - When i returned home I was not not amused to find that two of the three major items I had purchased still had security tags on them. When I returned to DJ's Chadstone the young f...Read more
eaml staff member checked all the items and put them back in the bag - job done? I asked - "no apology?" she said - 'well I didn't serve you!" quite indignantly - when I pointed out that I had traveled quite a distance and that perhaps an "I'm sorry for your inconvenience " may have have a long way - she then told me not to shout lol I was not shouting not in any way could it be considered as such - I turned on my heal and left. It will be a long time before I go back to be treated in this way. I have worked in and around retail for 40 years - and people wonder why bricks and mortar retailers are closing down at a rapid rate - maybe a new concept retailer might just wake up and realise that outstanding customer service, a smiling face and good manners might just be the weapon that retail stores are looking for.Similar opinion?

Customer service
All right so this is in regards so the terrible behavior of one of the staff at David Jones Burwood. Racist behavior of a lady at make up counter who was absolutely disrespectful. Me and my husband were buying stuff and as we preferred holding stuff we shortlisted in our hand to get everything billed together. It was mostly my make up stuff. So this lady blocks my way, stops me and so rudely she attacks and says will “u you pay for this” and all I could say is absolutely if I am buying it, taking it home I am going to pay for it. But she specif...Read more
ically followed us and made us feel so humiliated that I gave her the products and chose to walk off. She told me that they have a policy that if a customer picks up a product they have to get it billed and then move around the store, like really? I am a near by resident and visit burwood David Jones very often, and this was the second time that I was disappointed with staff behavior. Last time I asked one of the lady to check if they had size in jeans that I wanted to buy and she made me wait for 15 minutes saying she was occupied. I mean where are the basic etiquettes and on what bases are these people hired if they are of no help to buyers?Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
