I drove 1hr and 20mins to collect some items they have an their website, when I got their the items were not in stock, however their website said they where in stock, I was frustrated they advised you can come back in a few days and we will have more in stock, I didn't want to drive so far a 2nd time.
I bought other items including a couple of 50 cents and a couple of dollars, I thought for the inconvenience and the error that they had with false advertising stock they never had in stock they could of thrown in a 50cemt item or something, but no I got charged for every single thing.
I wasn't Happy.

I came over from New Zealand specifically to see these guys to purchase an apex system. It was cheaper to do it this way and to bring it home as personal luggage and get around excessive duty charges. Plus I was refunded the gst at the airport on the way out.

They were very helpful through emails over a number of months patiently enduring my many questions about the apex and compatibility with other brands. My tank is around 6000 litres so I needed some expert product knowledge which they helped me out with such as lighting recommendations of which I will purchase from them via another visit.

Would never use this place again.

They like to talk about manhood’s in this shop, not a place to take your family!

Will also not replace parts been waiting over a month for a protein skimmer to be replaced I guess they just gave up.

Really sad business ethics’s.

They have great reviews for in store visits however I've ordered twice online and had issues both times.
When you place an order online you aren't sent an order confirmation or invoice. You also don't receive a dispatch notice when your order is shipped.
Both of my orders weren't dispatched until I followed them up a week+ after placing the order. I also received a faulty product in my second order that didn't work. It was a bit of a run around for a replacement and I had to follow them up multiple times but I eventually got the replacement.

Absolutely terrible customer service! Do not buy from their online store! I was lied to and told my order was shipped when it wasn’t, calling for the third time three weeks after ordering I was told an item I had purchased was out of stock… This was after I was told it was shipped when clearly it wasn’t… Not once did they try and contact me regarding this issue either. Oh they also don't reply to emails so don't bother trying emailing them.

Ordered several items, but when order arrived one item was completely wrong and one item was the wrong size. I had to contact them twice to get a response, was told to return items for refund, but never heard back or received my refund despite emailing to ask what was happening after tracking confirmed parcel had arrived. Now I am out of pocket for return postage as well as incorrect items!

I emailed these guys about a light that i could not locate in any store in SA. They promptly replied that they had it in stock and 4 days later it arrives on my doorstep, in perfect condition, and packaged extremely well. Very happy with the result, and for those people here complaining about their orders taking ages, i suggest you simply contact Age of Aquariums before placing your order, as they were happy to help and responded promptly.

Very Happy Customer and Sincerely Thank you

Ordered an aquarium light over a month ago received email a week later stating it was out of stock but was still charged called a month later and was told would be back in stock Tuesday or Friday that was two weeks ago would never buy from them again.

One of the best shops going around for aquarium products great customer service and knowledgeable and a wide variety of products

Time ago I ordered an eheim 2215 from them. Their online pic shows a flat top version (made in Germany) but what I got is a round top one which is made in China. What a cheater. If you will try them make sure you check first rather than trust them. If you don't know what I am talking here, pls google the flat vs round top ehiem 2215 for details. Hope I was the only unlucky guy.

I have been buying from these guys for over 5 years both in store and via web and always been happy. Recently though the website wont accept my login. I have had to phone the store the last 3 times to place orders as the "reset" password thing doesn't send me emails. Last time they totally wiped my profile so I could start again I hope this fixes the problem as it's starting to be a pain!

Excellent seller with vert fast post service, good value products, very interesting articles on the net, nice on the phone & emails, I am very happy as everything is fantastic.

I have purchased from AOA a couple of times over the past 2 years and have always had excellent service. There was a time last year when many items on their site were out of stock but this appeas to have been resolved. I ordere on easter monday and my package was delivered on Thursday. Great range of product and service. Thanks again

I have been going to AOA for many years and they have always been very friendly, kind and helpful. They have a lot of knowledge and will take the time to help you with any issues and also they are willing to give you help and advise regarding your purchase.Any time I have not been happy with a product they have been more than happy to exchange or refund the product. Excellent people, excellent service, great prices, what more could you ask for.

I have shopped at age of aquariums for a number of years now and have always received excellent customer service and even better advice. I would definitely recommend this store, especially under the new management. A great bunch that are definitely passionate about the aquarium hobby!!!

Items listed as in stock are not in stock. They do not reply to emails. When they do reply they lie and tell you they will ship out your order. I have got no order confirmations via email. 4 weeks later I am still waiting for items to be shipped out. I will be engaging a paypal dispute shortly. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!

This has been my worst ever experience buying on-line. They have absolutely no idea how to run a business & how to treat customers. It's a shame because apparently they were once a good aquarium shop but it is no longer.

I ordered a skimmer 4 months ago which never arrived because apparently the supplier was out of stock even though their website said they were in stock. After the first 2 months i then requested a refund which the boss [name removed] kept lying telling me he sent it and then that he'd forgotten (his story changed half a dozen times).
Still have not received my refund. Even his employees told me that i'm too soft.

My order number is 70650 just incase he feels like doing what's right eventually. Otherwise i will keep pestering them.
