I am going away for the month of March. I will be posting the movies that I have now before I go. Is it a good idea to cancel for the Month of March or receive the movies, watch them and then send back in April?

If you go to Manage Account, you have the option of pausing your subscription for up to a month if needed. I've used in the past myself. I would suggest the best idea would be for you to post the movies and pause your subscription at the same time just before you go away. When you come back, you can get it going again.

Well Quickflix has done it again. It was up & running there for the last few weeks & now on the Xmas break the website won't activate. Maybe a maintainence problem again, but this is getting ridiculous. Last time I complained I got a months free. This is too unreliable. Should I close account or wait?

I'm thinking of closing my account. But I'd like to ask, how did you complain? I've hardly had a thing sent to me over the last few weeks, and my monthly payment is due again early January. I don't think I've received the service I've been paying for at all.

Finally it looks as if they are under maintenance, asking us tobe patient etc . I just hope they get on with it because everyone is getting fed up with not being advised as to what is happening. Will give them a few more days and see what happens.

So I had a good whinge to Quickflix re the lack of communication, etc. They have extended my billing date to Feb for the inconvenience. Anyone else receive a similar offer? If not, give it a go.

Hi, The website still seems to be down and emails to the service are not being responded to and their 08 number not connected. Is there anyone that can tell us if Quickflix has gone out of business? or another business number?

It seems to be down every Thurs p.m. until Mon a.m., then okay for 2 days, and the cycle continues. Why is it so hard to have simple correspondence with clients?
I hope we all receive an apology and a fruit basket for the angst!

It was okay for a few days, but down again since yesterday. I managed to contact them recently via help centre and they said it's undergoing maintenance. Sigh. Some notice would be professional and courteous...

Hi
I've been able to log in to Quickflix since Friday 18 Oct. The message I get is that the site can't be reached and that their servers IP Server address can't be found. This doesn't sound good. There is no other way of contacting them. Is this the same for everyone? Thanks, CB

I am very frustrated I cannot speak to anyone I have tried to cancel this three months ago you’re still taking money I have not had an active account for nine years I’ve only just recently found out you’ve been taking it for nine years I get a generic email to reply to and I get nothing I’ve sent multiple emails to contact me as this is over $6000 that I am legitimately out of pocket due to a service I have not had nor been contacted about what can I do to get this resolved thanks

From what I have read previously, people have had to cancel the card/account they use to pay Quickflix. I have complained to fair trading and all they suggested was to use another service . Quickflix isn’t based in Australia so there is nothing Australian authorities can do.

Looks like quickflix website is down again - This time even the help.quickflix.com.au site is down.
For the technically savvy the entire "quickflix.com.au" domain is not registered with DNS. Lets hope its a change of website hosting providers and not the company going bust without notice.

I cancelled my subscription months ago and informed my bank not to pay any more funds to them. I suspect they have money problems but to my knowledge they have not made any announcements!! I do know their movies were getting older and older and I suspected trouble long ago what with competing with newer streaming companies. When you cannot contact a company they do not deserve any business!

sorry Jude I do not know, it looked ok then it died maybe they are trying to fix it, I hope so.

Jude P

By "trying to fix it" I assume you're referring to the website? That's only a symptom of the real issue, which is why is Quickflix suddenly uncontactable, usually a sign a business is folding. Is there anyone who can actually front up to their offices in Perth and find out what is going on? It seems to me that Quickflix are continuing to take members' monthly payments when in fact they may not be trading any longer.

Not sure what is going on, Website went down monday/tuesday this week, sent messages via their online help portal (which still seems to be working), but to date only received the automated reply that someone will get back to you, a little worried about payments still coming out of my credit card. Might have to cancel the card to stop that if i don't get a reply.

Does any one know where Quickflix has gone. I have been trying to cancel my subscription for a few weeks now and including my direct debit. Yesterday I tried to logon to again discuss the cancellation and the website and phone numbers are all disconnected. If they have gone in to administration it would be helpful if they left some kind of message on their website and that all customers affected are advised and ensured that no more funds are going to be fraudulently deducted from customer accounts including mine!

Hi, don't EVER give your details to anybody if it is not a genuine service provider. Quickflix is NOT FLIX. it is Quickflix, so you received a spam, a phishing message.
Nobody gives you anything for nothing. Talk to your credit card company, they can stop any payment. Hope this helps.

Contact your credit card company to stop the payment. You have to lodge a dispute.

Ariane Simonasked

Dear Quickflix,

I have been trying to contact your customer service team to which it appears there has been none for a long time now. I send emails and get NO response ever other than the automated response that says someone will get back to me shortly. I have an INACTIVE account, I have not borrowed anything in years and yet I am still being charged $22.99 per month. By my rough calculations I have paid well over $1000 for an inactive account and no borrowings. How do I stop the deduction without going to Fair Trade and the Ombudsman - I am so disappointed and cranky.
When I go into my account it says my last transaction was 2010 - yet you keep taking my money and it clearly states that my account is inactive.

PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP.

Thank You

Ariane SImon

After trying and trying to get assistance from Quickflix when streaming stopped working, and getting only dismal (ZERO) results. I had reason to be doubtful of their ability to cancel services without problems. So When I cancelled the Quickflix subscription I also contacted my credit card company and had them block any more deductions! Worked perfectly.

When did it change to 19.95 for 2 DVD's? I've been paying 22.95 (which I subscribed to last year) :S

I asked Quickflix the same question and their response was this:
" We pass the cost savings of having a shortter free trial period onto the customer in a slightly reduced subscription fee."

Yes, you are reading that correctly; Quickflix actually charges customers for a "free trial"!
So if you're paying more, it's because they generously gave you a "free trial".

How do I get to talk with someone at Quickflix about a problem I'm having with their service?

I've sent three emails - four if I count the complaint sent this morning about problems with returned discs not being acknowledged and all I get back is the same basic email which explains the procedure for returning discs.

I'm unsure whether to sign up with you as I only want the DVD system and it says I have 42 days fee trial, but I believe you will charge me 19.99Pm, which is not the price for the DVD service. Also, I have 2 quickflix gift cards not one . How does this work please?

Hi Andi, if you send us the details of the gift cards you have, we can answer your specific questions :) You can contact us via our Help Centre https://help.quickflix.com.au/hc/en-us/requests/new. Generally, free trials are for a set period of time on a set subscription. Before your free trial rolls over onto a paid subscription, you can change your subscription type here -

Vee

Veeasked

How can I speak to an actual person that works at Quickflix to cancel my service? There are one or two points that need discussion and understanding but there is no phone support.

I have been charged for 9 months of service which I essentially did not know about, after accepting a Gift Card and attempting to use it. When I had tried to register it said the transaction could not be complete!

I only realized recently that Quickflix had been charging me for 9 months and feel very let down.

I would like Quickflix to let me know how many movies I have downloaded or rented (none, not a single one)...

I am not interested in a generic email address to solve the problems as I have sent email to the ones I can find on the net and no response.

Seems like a scam of sorts and very un-Australian.

Hi Vee,
Sorry to hear that you’re feeling some frustration. I’d like to take a look at this one personally for you. If you could pop an email to [email protected] with the email attached to your account, I’ll gladly take a look and we can work towards a solution.

Hi Vee.

This is typical of quickflix. They charged me for a DVD I never received. with so many other options I don't get why anyone would use these cowboys

Vee

HI Deancrisapulli,

I did eventually manage to get it sorted out. Quickflix refunded some of the money (although not all). This refund was claimed to be out of goodwill and as per advice from Fairtrade rather than any other obligation, legal or moral.

If they were a singular person I guess I would no longer claim they were an idiot, they would only be half an idiot...
I reckon maybe I am meant to be an idiot for thinking that I could make use of a gift card which would be worth something.
