Slow service and poor communication

published

After purchasing the item and paying for express delivery, it took them five days to notify me that they needed to conduct a random security check before completing my order. The emails following this and a full week later, my order has still not been shipped. I told them it was for a present and due to their lack of correspondence and punctuality, it did not arrive on time. Highly disappointed by this experience and would not recommend.

Poor Communication

published

My experience with Digi Direct was not great. Had to chase communication to find out what I ordered was not in stock, this took two phone calls and numerous emails.

I cancelled my order and went with another camera company (Parramatta Cameras).
I highly recommend Parramatta Cameras if you are looking for great communication and customer service. Which I unfortunately did not receive from Digi Direct

Extremely poor service and communication

published

- 19th March purchased a drone on promotion. Order was confirmed and money taken out of my credit card.
- 20th March received an email to complete a security check. Emailed back on the same day to provide my consent but did not hear back.
- 23rd March I chased for an update and was told the online team was working on a back log of orders.
- 25th March received notification (6 days after receiving confirmation of my order and money taken out of my credit card) that they were out of stock and will provide a refund (up to a week to process).

Terrible communication and transparency!! Next time I will price match at JB HiFi or Harvey Norman and avoid this company.

Disappointing.

published

Wanted an item worth over $2000
Rang multiple stores and was told in stock both in the stores and at warehouse.
One of the staff was grumpy that I even rang to check.
Placed order.
Got a generic email saying out of stock and if i want an estimate on timeframe I need to contact them.
Apparently a sale worth thousands of dollars doesn't warrant any form of follow up on their behalf.
Still processed the transaction and took my money.

Accepts your order then asks for more money

published

DigiDirect is an Australian retailer with a good range but buyers should be aware that the online store has terms and conditions they can use to cancel your order after they’ve already accepted payment. I bought a camera from the store (or I thought I did), had money leave my credit card, only to have a salesman email me offering to fill the order if I paid $154 more due to a “website error”. I’m very disappointed and other buyers should take care.

Impecable.

I ordered a lens for my camera on friday and arrived on tuesday morning. After I bought it online, I realized the next day (saturday) that I made a mistake in the adress information, so I sent an e-mail to costumer service . They responded inmediately and changed my adress without a problem.
Definitely would buy from them again.
Cheers!

Unnecessary rigmarole that resulted in avoidable delays!!

published

I ordered online and selected in store pick up from a store that had stock near me. The order was under $100 and I was going to pick it up in person, with my credit card and ID, yet they put the order on hold while they confirmed I was the owner of the credit card. While they placed this unnecessary hold on my order they did NOT hold the stock in the store so by the time it was sorted the store no longer had stock!! Now I have to wait for stock to be transferred from another state.

Terrible service!!!!

nothing but incompetence

published

31/12 = express delivery order placed for $7k for items all listed as "in stock"...
01/01 = noticed my credit card had been charged and expected delivery shortly...
07/01 = i contacted them for an update to the order status and was told they are waiting on authorization from me to withdraw a few cents from my account for security reasons. OMG...
08/01 = received an email saying that all products were out of stock and that all products would be shipped together. OMG...
20/01 = found in my junk mail an email (from 09/01) from them saying that part of the order is 4 months away and that the remainder can be shipped by the end of the week (which would mean 10/01) but nothing has arrived. OMG...
21/01 = i'll keep you updated

Terrible business practices.

published

Paid for express post only to have the store keep my money and not post anything, for over a week despite products being in stock. When I called their service was terrible as well.

No, I'm upset with the way it was handled, and this response further adds to that. If you still think I'm wrong, why are there so many reviews agreeing with me? You need to look at the way you talk to and communicate with customers.

Bad customer service

published

Bought a camera bag, found other stores are offering much better rate, won’t do price match and won’t lemme return no matter what. Sent email to negotiate, no reply. I purchased more than 11000 on this site for my Leica gear and they wouldn’t refund me a 400 bag, unbelievable, will never deal with them ever again. They just lost potentially 20000+ transaction.

Hi Jimmy. I've just sent you an email, I've authorised the online team to provide you with a partial refund so that the price you have paid now matches the current sell price of the US manufacturer. Thank you, have a nice day

thank you for the reply. Maybe I didn’t express myself directly. I was more irritated by the fact that your online representative rejected my request of returning the item even before I received it, which I found was ridiculous.

Selling items that they dont have instock

published

They do not mention when stock is on back order.. so you will purchase, pay the express post and then wait. Only after repeatedly asking will they admit that the stock is on back order with the Supplier and no ETA. Yes I was offered a refund, but Ive wasted all this time to finally getting to the truth.

Great customer service and best price!

published

I was a little hesitant to order through the digidirect online store because of the reviews I had read, but the price for the product I purchased was much cheaper than elsewhere. I contacted them the day after ordering to find out when my product would be delivered and they immediately responded with a tracker. The tracker wasnt showing any progression after a week so i contacted them again and they responded again immediately. They contacted Australia post and the item arrived the same day. Great customer service and the product arrived well packaged and in perfect condition!

With my interaction I found DigiDirect to have excellent communication via email and fast Efficient delivery, 2 days earlier than expected (express post). Professional service. Digidirect were one of the few Aussie stores which stocked the lens I required. All over a positive experience.

Communication very poor

published

Ordered 2 items online. Received tracking email to say order on way. Only 1 item arrived. Contacted Digi Direct by phone, and was advised 2nd item "in stock but probably at another location" I asked when delivery would be and told " maybe this week, or possibly next week" So we have "Probably" "Maybe" "Possibly" Surely I should have been advised that only part of order being delivered and a more positive response to when the rest of the order is being dispatched/delivered. Not impressed will think before recommending or using again.
