Good service but need to step up there game
Ordered a tent and a sleeping bag - both in stock on the website. After 3 days I called as hadn't received notification of dispatch. Advised that the sleeping bag was on back order and the tent would be dispatched shortly. Ordered 20/9, dispatched from the warehouse on the 25/9. I have been unlucky with public holidays but still waiting for delivery of the tent now on the 2/10. We set off camping tomorrow, at this stage without a tent! I thought that 2 weeks would have been enough time to get the tent, and it would have been if not for the lag ...Read more
in dispatch. Not used to companies taking days to pack an order tbh. The customer service when I have spoken with them has been great and the prices were good, I just wouldn't buy again unless I didn't need the item for a while! Disappointing.1 comment

Excellent customer service.
I recently made a claim on the Coleman HWOD through Tentworld. They were straight onto it, asking for photos & a description of the fault. After contacting Coleman, they got back to me & shipped the replacement parts immediately. Fabulous service, all fixed in less than two weeks. Thanks Tentworld!

Slow shipping and absolutely zero communication. Stock levels inaccurate.
Placed an online order before 10am. Website advertises same-day shipping on orders placed before 10am. All items ordered were in stock. No shipping confirmation received. Followed up the next day at 1pm. Still hasn't shipped. One of the items that was in stock is actually not in stock and I'm told there's was a "warehouse counting error". As I am told this information their website is still showing the item as in stock. No explanation as to why the order didn't ship the previous day. No explanation as to why no one bothered calling or emailing about the item not in stock. Absolutely useless. Very disappointing.

Unable to follow simple consumer law
We bought a screen dome tent that had a fault in one of its poles. Contacted the company within the stated time frame to request to return the item for a refund. Informed we would have to pay for the return postage (@1/3rd of the cost of the tent), even though consumer law is clear that the return postage cost is to be born by the vendor. Since informing Tentworld of this there has been no correspondence from them at all. I wouldn't purchase anything on line from this business. They are clearly only interested in the bottom line and don't care about customer service/experience.

Hi Bruce,
I'm upset to learn you're unhappy with us, and to read the accusations you've made suggesting that we do not follow Australian Consumer Law. These types of accusations are very serious. ... Read more
In addition to ensuring we're meeting our legal obligations it's very important to us that we spread positive word of mouth about us.. We operate in a marketplace dominated by huge shareholder companies with incredible marketing budgets. Positive Word of Mouth is what has allowed us to grow to the company we are today. So to understand why you've left us this review, and to enable us to improve for the future, I have investigated your review. Whilst it appears you're using a fake name to leave this review, I believe I have identified the interactions & warranty claim related to this. Dont worry! I wont reveal your real name to the world at large. I believe I have been able to find your claim in our system, and can see that regrettably on your maiden voyage with a screen dome you did have a pole failure. I am very sorry about this, we work very hard to ensure the products we sell never cause us problems as any warranty claim is costly for us to fix, and impacts negatively on our customer experiences camping, and with us. We also work hard to try resolve warranty issues as quickly as we can, to try reduce the emotional drain these cause. Back to the claim. These are the details I’ve found. - On Thursday 18/1/18 @ 9:38pm you emailed us advising us of the failure you’ve had on your maiden voyage along with some pictures. - On Friday 19/1/18 @ 9:15am we replied requesting some additional information. - On Sunday 21/1/18 @ 2:15pm you provided this additional info and advised that your preference would be to upgrade to OZtent Screen Dome. - On Monday 22/1/18 @ 1:33pm we replied confirming receipt of info, and that we were in discussions with Oztrail to solve the problem. - On Tuesday 23/1/18 & 4:18pm we advised that we had received approval from Oztrail to replace the broken pole free of charge to you. As per your request, we also approved your request to return the Screen Dome for exchange to the Oztent Screen Dome and advising you of the return freight charges of $30.30 for this. Please note, freight charges are not calculated by the value of the goods, but by the size & weight of the item. - On Wednesday 24/1/18 at 12:49am you replied disagreeing with the return freight charges. - Also on 24/1/18 at 9:46am we replied advising that these charges were in place for change of mind, and that the manufacturer preferred resolution was to supply replacement pole free of charge, but should you wish to exchange, we would do that but that you'd be responsible for return freight costs. - Also on 24/1/18 at 11:14am you emailed us reciting Australian Consumer Law and website terms & conditions. -On Thursday 25/1/18 we attempted to call on multiple occasions to try have a conversation to help resolve this faster, as we felt email was going no-where. -On Sunday 4/2/18 @ 7:52pm you emailed advising you havent heard from us. -On Monday 5/2/18 @ 2:01pm we emailed you to try clarify our position, and to further express that we wish to help accepted 50% of the return cost to try help. - Today, On Wednesday 7/2/18 at 10am you advised you wished to proceed but were unhappy about paying half return freight. - Also today Wednesday 7/2/18 at 4:46pm we confirmed that the pick-up booking had been made for return. After this investigation, whilst I can see that you're unhappy about having to pay the return freight to exchange your screen dome for another one. I have taken this feedback onboard. Offering free change of mind returns is something we can offer, but comes with very real costs that must be recouped somehow. This would be through higher prices up front. However, I am unable to agree that we are not abiding by Australian Consumer Law. Nor am I able to agree that we’re demonstrating that we do not care about our customers. With the exception of not emailing you to advise we tried calling you, we have replied, and responded quickly and professionally to all your emails. I have made note with the team, that when they do make phone calls to our customers that go unanswered, to send a quick email letting them know that we’ve done this. So you know we’re trying to get in contact. So with thanks to your review, we have found further opportunities to improve so we can serve our customers better in the future. If you believe during my investigation that I have not uncovered important facts, or if you wish to add any more information I welcome you to do this. If you can please email this to [email protected]. I will take these extra facts and continue my investigation to ensure your issue has been dealt correctly most importantly in respect of the law, and in accordance to our own policies that exceed our legal requirements. Thanks again for taking the time to leave this review. Without your review, we cannot improve. Kind Regards & Happy Camping, Jon Burrell Tentworld team.Dear Jon

Online store is neglectful of customers
I purchased an inflatable bed from Tentworld only to have the wrong item sent. Even after sending the item back with tracking via Aus post i still have to wait weeks for them to receive it back and then send me the correct item.
I did not make the mistake and they are doing nothing to fulfil the purchase contract made to them. The only resort i have left is to contact my financial institution to try and get my money back.
Thanks for the heartache Tentworld. I will never use you again and neither will anyone i speak to be recommended to use you. At least Snowys know how to treat a customer.

Great Tent
Easy to set up even without practice!!, plenty of room, good having doors at both ends, seems good quality, took advice from an online video and bought a tarp to put down under the tent which worked a treat. We were more than comfortable even though it was extremely cold. Was surprised how quickly we received our tent.

Tremendous bit of kit
Purchased the Potjieking recently (it's a small mobile wood/charcoal burner) that's designed for an African cast iron pot. It was delivered in a speedy fashion and I was cooking on it almost immediately. I can see us taking it away with us when we go camping.

Exactly what we needed for our future trips
I wasn't sure that these sleeping bags would be any good because they appeared too cheap, but they've worked out great and have kept us toasty warm even in -3 temps under the tent. The delivery was fast and packaged well.

Great product availability
The only place I found the 44Amp Hours Waeco Raps Coolpower. I found the online ordering but had trouble finalising the order so I rang the 1300 number and got a very helpful girl. Nothing was a trouble to her and my order was soon on the way. I live in country NSW but my order arrived 3 days later. Thank you tentworld for the great service.

Purchase of Led Lenser P7R Rechargeable Torch from tent world
I ordered on eBay, and the torch arrived 2 days later in Melbourne. Amazing service, best price and great comms!
The torch has 3 brightness modes, after seeing the brightest you think the dimmest is a waste of time, but whilst out camping with friends this weekend realised the dim setting was better than their cheap torches. The bright setting is amazing, and i guess the mid setting is what i ended up using mostly. The battery lasted the whole night and is still going strong - although it was not on 100% of the time.
The focus is really qui...Read more

Fantastic service!
Placed an order with Tentworld, but wanted to check something about my order so I rang the customer service number to clarify. The person I spoke to answered all my questions about the product. I don't normally order online but the price was great and having someone to help with my order allayed any fears that I had. I placed the order on Sunday and the items were delivered by Thursday. Excellent service. Well done and thank you to the staff at Tentworld.

Questions & Answers
TC123asked
Hey Tentworld can you explain to me why you think it’s ok to ask a customer who received a damaged product from your warehouse to destroy the damaged product and sent photographic evidence that it has been destroyed to the point it is no longer able to be used before you send a replacement? Not very ethical if you ask me!
3 answers
Tentworld T.Tentworld
Hi TC123, we agree with you that it's very wasteful and we'd much prefer that things could be repaired than destroyed when they have faults. This would be much better for the environment, and is something that we try to do as much as we can. We are constantly pushing for our suppliers to develop products that are easily repairable & serviceable rather than disposable items. Sadly, in our current economic environment the costs of repairs are often not practical or are too inconvenient for our customers. Many of our suppliers require us to return the goods to them so they can inspect them to take notes on what failed in their items for future upgrades. After inspection, they typically will then destroy them whilst salvaging as many parts from it as practical. However, in some cases where there is no practical salvage possible, and our suppliers do not need to physically inspect the goods prior to destroying them in some instances we offer the option of destroying the goods themselves at their own home - rather than having to arrange the return of the goods to us. This is offered as a convenience to our customers to be able to destroy it themselves, rather than going through the hassle of arranging to get the goods back to us. Sadly, whilst delivering items is very easy - arranging couriers to collect from residential homes is still very very frustrating - so we try to avoid putting our customers through this if we can. This does also reduce our carbon footprint slightly, because ultimately if the goods are being destroyed in your home - they would be destroyed upon their return to the supplier but a whole lot less fuel has gone into producing the same end result. We are fortunate some of our suppliers allow us to offer this to our customers. This need to return the goods prior to replacement is typical from any retail store before theyre replaced. The act of destroying & us then replacing is mimicing that in-store experience without the hassle of having to arrange for it to be returned to us. I hope that this explains this better. If you have anymore questions please feel free. Kind Regards, Tentworld team.
It would just end up another piece of garbage in a landfill I would suggest letting us donate the slightly damaged product to charity and sending a replacement ASAP this not only satisfies your customer it also lowers waste and your “carbon footprint” I don’t think I am being unreasonable
Additionally, how is it convenient for the customer to have to destroy something? As a customer one should expect to receive an undamaged product, it is understandable that these things happen however when they do I believe it is the responsibility of the seller to promptly issue a replacement. Don’t you agree?

en a look at our dispatch queue, and we're running at less than 1 business day dispatch currently. So to hear your order has taken so long to be shipped is weird. I'd like to look into this please. Also, in regards to your sleeping bag and the stock variance. We do work tirelessly to ensure our stock on hand is accurate, as it causes problems like these! We sell lots of sleeping bags, so we'd rather show as sold out on one and have someone buy another..... So this is also strange, and I'd like to investigate what's happening here - any why it took so long for you to hear from us. The only missing piece that's preventing me from being able to investiage properly is who you are. Would you mind please emailing [email protected] with your order number in reply to this so that I can investigate and look into what went wrong with your order. Thanks very much & sorry again for the inconvenience & dissapointment we've caused. Kind Regards, Jon ~ Tentworld team.
