Definitely do not purchase anything from the TENTWORLD stores.
The Tentworld stores have been in business long enough to know about the Qld Consumer Laws that are in place to help protect the consumer but they blatantly disregard these laws. If you return something within a reasonable time frame because the item was faulty or it didn't do as the product description said it would then you are entitled to a full refund but not according to Tentworld. At best they will give you an in store credit. Watch this space...

how shop staff should be
I purchased a product that I had already been able to try because of friends who already had one, bou I still felt like I'd needed to talk to someone from a store about the product so I phoned the Townsville Tentworld Store and talked to Erin who was fantastic, very helpfull and explained the answers to my Questions thoroughly,next day I was on my way to the store to complete the purchase. All the staff were helpfull, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you. Glen

Hi Liz,
Really sorry to hear you've having problems with your new Evakool fridge. I know how frustrating that can be.... Read more
We always recommend that our customers for technical products such as the EvaKool fridge take them straight to the local repairer. This saves time for our customers as only Evakool repairers are qualified to be able to diagnose the fridge issues. It's also often helpful to have your vehicle there, as sometimes, when dealing with 12v - the vehicle can contribute to the issue. So its best that the fridge technicians hear the faults they're trying to diagnose directly from the owner. This prevents any loss in translation, and can vastly speed up the diagnosis. We've found that typically, if the customer takes the fridge to the repairer themselves, from drop off to collection it saves them at least 5-7 business days. If however, you do find that it's too inconvenient for you to take the fridge to the repairer - you are of course welcome to leave it with us and we'll arrange to get it to the repairer ASAP but please do be aware that this will result in slight delays for resolution. If you wish to discuss further please email your contact information & further information to [email protected] and we'll be pleased to assist wherever possible Kind Regards, Tentworld team.Similar opinion?

Unable to honour warranty
Purchased an $1800 tent from these guys and gave them 2 opportunities to fix the issues, in the end they blamed supplier and suppliers blamed them and we ended up with a leaky tent and an explanation that broken zippers and faulty stitching is general wear and tear.
The tent was used maximum of 6 times!
Any reputable business would never leave their clients losing out because if their issues with the supplier.

Oztent regarding your Jet Tent F25. I can see you've had some problems with the tent - which is disappointing for such a premium tent - definitely not what we hope for at all. Sorry about this. From the records I understand that your tent was repaired to be returned to you. Have you found these repairs not satisfactory? We typically do find Oztent to be fair with their warranty appraisals, and to reach suitable outcomes - however, mistakes do happen. If you'd like for me to revisit your claim, can you please update me as to the status of your tent - including pictures to [email protected] so that I can investigate and try resolve. Kind Regards, Tentworld team.The first time the repair was to one support pole which failed again next time we used it. On this trip the pole failed, the zipper broke and the stitching let go in almost every corner, I lodged for ... Read more
warranty and the fixed the pole, did a half job on zipper so it still fails almost every time used and told me the failed stitching is general wear and tear. Seriously? No point fixing the pole and zipper if the tent has a hole in every corner. Your staff and jet tent then had the cheek to tell me you fixed these items as a favour as the day I dropped it off was outside warranty despite the fact I sent an email with photos inside warranty period requesting a refund or exchange. This will now be the third return and fourth time I have had to submit photos, fifth if you count the faulty bag I had to jump up and down to get replaced It seems warranty with you guys is a last resort depending on the buyers commitment to forcing an outcomeTentworld T.Tentworld

the shop, taking the photos is not necessary. We can take any that are required for Oztent to process the application. Sorry that you're finding this an effort, I have not personally been involved in your warranty claim until yesterday when you wrote this review, and I am still uncovering all the details. Warranty is always a challenging time for our customers, and we do wish to make this as painless as possible. I am looking into how we went wrong with yours, and what we can do to improve this going forwards. So please bring your tent in to the shop, and we'll go about trying to achieve a satisfactory outcome for you. Kind Regards, Tentworld team.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

I know each store is different, and faulty products can be frustrating to deal with both the customer and the store.
My experience is only with staff in the store, it has been very positive. Each time i was there plenty of staff, always offered help when walking in store. They offered extra help and when i asked for help using an item just purchased more than happy to help with simple request.
I prefer to go here that big branded stores, lots of products and friendly service for the Burleigh store.
Remember people are more inclined to leave a bad review than a good one. But if you have bad experience you should let people know.

Great customer service
Brought a swag on the weekend from Tentworld Ipswich and when unpacking, one of the spreader poles was slightly dented preventing it from extending properly. Took it back to the Ipswich store next day and they replaced the faulty pole straight away with another one. I was extremely worried I was going to have to wait or receive poor customer service from reading the reviews on here. So was very impressed and appreciative with the Ipswich Tentworld staffs help. I have brought numerous supplies over the years from Tentworld they have a great range and quality camping gear. Thanks for always providing a great experience.

Very disappointed with Dometic
We bought a Dometic Porta Potti from Tentworld.
We filled the top up with water and it was leaking.
Took it to Tentworld and were told that we had to take it up with Dometic.
Not impressed.
We took it to the Dometic Service Center and they told us that they have no idea how long it would take.
We have been waiting two weeks and we have only now received a replacement water tank, and it looks old and second hand with all the marks on it, dust in the joints and water around the cap.
Very disappointed with Dometic's so-called after sales service.

ur review about the Dometic warranty process & your experience with us. We are required by Dometic to send warranty applications to the service centre, so whilst I agree with you it can be frustrating, this is what Dometic - our supplier require of us. I am unsure why the service centre would have told you anything different, as this is how they make money. If you can let me know the name of the service centre, I will enquire with them as to why they would be advising this. But overall, this confuses me as their business & how they make money is with inspecting & repairing warranty items. We will take this complaint, and present it to our Dometic agents so that they're aware of how their policies effect our customers experiences. By the way, thank you also for your email you sent - I did reply a couple of hours later on August the 22nd to present you with some options & to try help out - but you never replied??

I remember taking extra time after eating dinner to reply to your email ASAP so that I could try to have you sorted for the weekend. I watched my inbox like a hawk the next day expecting the reply, and so that I could take action to sort you out. I was surprised when I got nothing back.. Its strange that the service centre is so abrasive about all this. I had presumed they made money from all claims, but in all truth - I do not know how their business model works - only that we cannot handle Dometic warranty claims, and that they do & somehow they earn money from Dometic for handling this - though perhaps not on all cases?? I do not know. Otherwise why bother being the service agent? I do understand your experience with Dometic in this instance has not been ideal. However, be assured that if problems with Dometic were regular & if we had to put this extra level of customer service into the sales process every time, we would quickly exit the support & distribution of Dometic. We much prefer to sell good gear, to happy customers, and to only see our customers when they return from their holidays keen to tell us how well their gear performed. So - you can have confidence in Dometic product in the future - because we do. Thank you for your continued support. Kind Regards, JonSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Cheating, disgusting and unfriendly customer service
I went to your Coopers Plains store to ask for price matching on supa-peg 225mm tent peg.
1. The manager is refused as "there is not worth for them to match .29 cent cheaper at Snowy Store in Brendal". This is disgusting. Yes, as a customer, it is worth every single cents for me.
2. I contact the head office ask about their price match policy. The guy named Jarrod is very friendly and try to sort out the price match. They are happy to do it and ask me how many do I need and which store I will come to pay and collect it. I gave your Cooper Plai...Read more

disgusting & underhanded customer service
I called your Coopers Plains store to ask for your best price on a Joolca hot water system. The guys reply was to come to the store if serious to discuss hes best price. We drove 45 mins to the store to be told they don't do any discount pricing on Joolca. The attitude was very snide & condescending when we explained what we had been told over the phone. We have used Tentworld a lot over the years but wont be going back any time soon. As fortune would have it Joocla was doing a 10% off on e-bay so we took up this offer. Karma perhaps? If any one is chasing Joolca check e-bay first.

not have been how it goes. I have just taken a look at Joolca on eBay, and I am not able to see any special offer on their units - I will discuss this with Joolca however, as they are our partner - we support them by stocking their units, displaying them and advertising them & it is not acceptable for them to offer promotions that our customers are not eligible for and is not in the spirits of a healthy partnership. However, what I suspect has actually happened is that you've been given a discount offer from eBay themselves, not Joolca. Often, eBay themselves do sometimes have offers - which comes from eBay themselves - so I'm glad you were able to get 10% off but Joolca still get their full payment. Typically, the Joolca units are not eligible for any discount, as the model Joolca have chosen is to choose an aggressive, fair price & to then just sell. Rather than forcing customers to wait for when they come on special etc. We do support Joolca with this strategy, and our customers appreciate this knowing that whenever they choose to buy - they're not paying too much. I appreciate you taking the time to leave us with this feedback, I will be discussing with the team how we deal with phone enquiries like yours, what we could have done better, and how we could have handled your enquiry instore that could have resulted in you being happy with your experience - rather than compelled to write bad reviews. I appreciate this opportunity & feedback thank you. If you did have any further feedback, or tips on how we could improve.

Best shopping experience I’ve had in a LONG time.
We recently bought an old poptop camper and so are currently decking with everything needed for extended stays away from the rat race. We have visited most camping related stores throughout Townsville, pricing out our requirements. Until we walked into the new Tentworld Townsville store, we had come to conclusion that good old fashioned service was simply a thing of the past and that we should simply research the stuff we needed and then buy from the cheapest store (or online).
From the moment I walked into Tentworld I was VERY impressed by...Read more
their beautifully decorated and laid out premises and how well stocked it was. Better still is that most things are actually set up or on display so you can look, touch and try things before laying out your hard earned money. This alone was impressive but then I met the staff. Everyone I have spoken to there has been extremely friendly, helpful. Each have gone above and beyond in making sure I had all the information I wanted or needed with never a hint of impatience (like a lot of other stores). These reasons alone had me sold on purchasing m gear here but then I checked the prices. In most cases, there prices where equal to if not better then the other stores! All I can say is, go in and see for yourself if what I say is true. In the last two weeks I have purchased a fridge/freezer, three camp chairs, a kettle and some miscellaneous items totaling over $1300 and will be shopping there again very soon. Shayne1 comment
