Gift voucher

published

For years I've been buying gift vouchers. Jumped online to order more and they've put the price up by $40, so that's an extra $60 on top of the $500, what a joke. Doesn't cost $60 to post a gift voucher.

TERRIBLE! Broken product and disgusting customer service

published

Ordered two salt and pepper dinner sets $200 in total. Both sets had numerous broken items on arrival. Dramas and rude service. Very distressing to open packaging and customer service rude and terminating calls. Made to feel as it was my fault. Just awful. Have spent several thousand dollars over past couple of years for this treatment by them.

Disappointing

published

Paid off a coffee machine only to find they didn’t have it. They offered me a much cheaper item. I found a listed one for comparable price. Several emails were sent by me and went unanswered. I requested a full refund and went and bought my coffee machine elsewhere. At some point they had run out of stock but didn’t bother contacting customers about it. I won’t use them again.


Terrible service, will never use this website again!

published

Ordered and paid in full for an item required for a special occasion. Even allowing for a 3 week delay and then a 2 week delivery period, the item was still now delivered on time. I had to contact them to follow up as they were completely unaware item had not been delivered.

Terrible customer service

published

Spent three weeks getting the product, then faulty, advised a refund and have still not received. Staff member I was dealing with has now resigned, manager refused to accept responsibility. Deal with extreme caution

EDIT JAN 2022 5 stars to 4: Noooo Mylayby why did you sell to Laybyland. Wont be using as much now

I used to use mylayby for almost literally everything. Tv, motorcycle, fridge/freezer you name it. Now since they sold to Laybyland I have to go back to using Chrisco :( much dearer than Mylayby used to be.

3 years and still going

published

Ive been with them 3yrs now ordered every year.. they have great response time i always just email. Always allow two weeks after last date for delivery because its the postage will mess you up not them. Sure customer service on phone sucks lol so i always just email them instead lol. They are flexible to change as i always changed my mind alot lol. If you’re not sure just layby credit layby till your ready. Price is a mark up from normal market lol but hey its layby not a bad thing. Id recommend these guys obviously with 3 years straight running. Easy payments and i always got my stuff in time.


Terrible customer service

published

Put some things on layby for Christmas, only received 2 of the 3 items I paid off. Called them about 4 times in one week to see where my order was, all they told me was that they would follow it up. Called this morning because I need that present by Monday (Christmas Day) and they aren't in office till the 27th!!!

Useless

published

Paid off a dune buggy for my girls Christmas present. Fully paid by November and advised delivery would be in early December.
My husband has made daily calls to these guys to find out when it would be delivered, and has been told that HE needed to call the transport company...
Have been told now that we will not be receiving the item before Christmas & they do not have the ability to call and explain, apologise or offer a refund.
Really stuffed up Christmas for my girls.


when placing an item on layby it should be kept aside, not when you have paid it off

published

i had a christmas sculpture on layby for 3 months, had paid it off and had to chase it up, they told me at the office that they do not hold the items till paid off, what sort of layby is that, this is the second time this has happened

Won't deliver purchased product and won't respond

published

Purchased $1000 Harvey Norman Voucher. Once paid off, asked when I will receive voucher. They would not respond. Over a week later received a small powerbank?!. Asked them to send me my purchased product and once again they will not respond. It's been over 2 weeks, they will not respond and they will not send me the $1000 voucher I bought. Not many options remaining due to their actions, can only really consider fair trading. Maybe they have run out of money and spent their customers Layby payments without buying the product.


Never purchase again

published

Would highly recommend

published

Have been dealing with this group for just on 5 yrs and for me I love it, can't fault customer service, alway been polite and most helpful. Have changed my orders on numerous occasions with no props and rushed orders out for me before christmas. Love the convenience of 52wks to pay. Read the terms and conditions as sometimes items for reasons out of their control can't be supplied but it does state this. Love this group

I waited up to ten days just to get a small refund. I called MyLayby to follow up and basically they could not be bothered. I will never shop with them again.

Have been waiting since the 26/09. They claim it should be in today or tomorrow but with the way they have been responding over the phone I find that hard to believe. Sound useless like they hate their job!
