Had to pick up a PC for my son from Chermside
Because of the coronavirus had problems with the payment. Paid through paypal the shop assistant who helped my wife with it was most helpful and very patient. He had made enquiries to pay pal to fix the problem. Could not be happier with Umart

Very poor Custom build and
Unfortunately I have to let Umart know I’m not satisfied with the build that was done on my order for a custom build.
The value of the PC exceeds $6000. (4591506)
Three things stand out prominently
1: The on/off button does not work properly.
2: The video card has been inserted in such a way that it makes it almost impossible to attach display port cables, two just fit in but the third will not.
3:Noise levels from this pc are well above a Custom Build we purchased from Umart some years ago with similar hardware.
Frankly I was advised by Um...Read more
art staff, that the case was of high quality and quite.This is NOT the case (no pun intended) Fan noise is quite intrusive and in my opinion the case is cheap and does not warrant the quality of the gear in which its housed.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
They handle this very bad during COVID 19
Had some drama in the beginning, but quickly fixed by customer service staff in the shop.
I recommend goto the shop talk to the staff face to face, they are willing to help.

Completely satisfied
I recently purchased the custom build service and was very happy with the end product. I had several issues with my bank and all were resolved quickly by using the online chat feature on the website. The computer arrived securely packed and well put together with good cable management. There has been no issues whatsoever on starting. I would hihgly recommend Umart

Deceptive and Misleading Conduct
The "canned" information provided on the website is not a true reflection of the delivery timeframes for the supply of Product.
The simple purchase of an in stock item (Monitor) identifies as a 2 to 3 hour turn around from placement of order with a confirmation email advising available for pick up in store to be sent soon thereafter.
24 Hours later and the email has still not been received.
It is important to be trueful in your delivery/supply timeframes thus allowing Customers to make an informed decision at the point of purchase. To do otherwise is deceptive and misleading conduct.

Easy to work with
As always, I've been using umart for years, the method is easy, go online, order part, wait for the email saying come in and grab it. I've had good service and good warranty returns with the company. If you need a computer part or computer system, check this company out.

so you place an order, pay and dont hear anything from them until you spend 30min on hold to talk to someone, below average online pc store, They give you the run around on the phone treating you like a monkey, Must be the pandemic...

Hopeless management, hopeless customer support. No transparency in what's going on.
Don't ever order products from Umart, they have no idea what's going on with your order and appear to just string you along so you don't cancel. I'm incredibly frustrated by their lack of transparency and robotic responses. Phone support parrots delays due to Covid-19 like that's some kind of acceptable excuse for an in-store pickup, if your business has increased in demand then roster on more staff, that just makes it sound like your management is incompetent. It's not like Covid-19 started yesterday you should have had the management skills t...Read more
o handle this situation weeks ago, my business was shut down in February, your problems are nothing compared to other companies real problems, I wish our problems were record profits. The mobile phone app just makes it more frustrating, taking hours at a time to answer for questions then ignoring questions you have asked. The experience I've had so far gives me the impression that the phone support staff, the mobile app staff have absolutely no effect on orders whatsoever no matter the level of importance, I highly doubt they are actually escalating anything when they claim they are. The lack of transparency in what's going on is appalling. How hard is it to walk out the back and grab 4 products and mark it as available. JB Hi-fi makes sure your products are available within 30 minutes to an hour, and if you call them and ask what's the hold up they are transparent and tell you what's going on with the order be it waiting on a delivery from a supplier, a transfer from another store etc, you can even speak to the storemen directly or a manager if you need to, you can even walk in and speak to them, none of this nonsense about Covid-19 and trying to blame everyone else for their poor management.. The stock I purchased said in stock at Milton, I even called to clarify this fact before I made the purchase, I also purchased stock at the gold coast store which was available within a few hours. So it baffles me that Milton hasn't come up with a solution yet and it's late in the day after two days of waiting. My assumption at this point is that they never had the stock and they are waiting on delivery but are too embarrassed to say so, it's either that or they have a stock variance in which case the solutions are pretty basic, sell me on the above motherboard that's in stock and finish the order. At this point, they claim 3/4 items are ready, I have sent them a text asking to get another motherboard if that solves the problem and they still haven't responded to that text. Good management would come up with a solution and solved my problem within 15 minutes. If you're in doubt and need a product urgently Umart Milton is the last store I'd ever buy a product from unless you want to go bald from tearing your hair out in frustration. What a hopelessly dysfunctional organisation, you should be learning from your peers who even in the midst of this "crisis/record profits not really a crisis" are doing a much better job of handling the situation. I can't wait for the response below to be a full-blown autopilot response about Covid-19, like making record profits is somehow a disaster for them, meanwhile, the rest of us are being stood down or going bankrupt like I should feel sorry for them. Update: Just cancelled my order. Thanks for nothing Umart, you absolute time wasters 2nd Update: After I called up and had my order cancelled it came through as ready for collection minus the motherboard. So the solution to upgrade my motherboard to one in stock would have worked, then they cancelled it properly. What a hopeless dysfunctional company. The phone support doesn't know how to solve problems the Facebook support doesn't know how to solve problems. Got to wonder what the management of Umart actually does at this point. I sent my order to PC Case Gear. Should have done it in the first place, what a waste of my own time. If you run a business, don't use this company, they will just cost you money.2 comments

Poor customer service and no coordination between staff
Place an order and at check out estimation was provided as 1-2 business days. On 3rd business day received an email saying one of the item is not available. Requested to process the rest of the items. Received an email saying order is ready at chermside location and wait for pick up email. Again on next day received another email saying order is ready at Eight Mile Plans location and wait for pick up email. Contacted service desk and got a response that they have no idea where the order is and wait for pick up email with details. On 6th business day, received an email saying that order has been cancelled and money is returned.

Very slow to do a simple job

Disappointing
Overall their site is very easy to navigate, good categories and great filtering system. However they are still a bit pricey. I could've saved about $300 on my build if I wanted to wait a few extra weeks from other places. Only time their prices are good are when they have "Hot Deals" which is probably on out of date hardware most of the time anyway. I'm also disappointed by the lack of corsair products. Had to resort to eBay to get everything I needed.

Diabolical returns process
Umart are a great shop to buy from, but their returns process is the worst I have come across. Don't have any issues with their hardware, as they will provide you with absolutely no assistance in this matter.
It is now 116 days from first returning a faulty graphics card following Umart's returns process. I still have no replacement. I can't believe it has taken this long, so many calls, visits and time wasted. They simply dont seem to care about my situation.
We have had three refurbished cards back from manufacturer, none of which have ...Read more
worked. Umart have clearly not tested anything back from the supplier, simply passed back to me to 'test'. I asked for a refund on day 1, which umart refused. 116 days on from that and I still have no graphics card, which is a ridiculous situation. Umart also keep creating new tickets, rather than the keeping the old existing ticket open. I assume this is to hide the fact that 116 days has passed since this process started. Not good enough Umart! If you work for umart, please check these codes: RA#180795, RA#179749, RA#179748, RA#183684 for details about this ongoing case. I am still none the wiser as to what is happening and have had to chase Umart at EVERY step of the way to even find out where we are at. Based upon their returns process please avoid purchasing anything from Umart, once the sale is made, they simply don't care about the customer.1 comment

I tried several time that day before venturing all the way to the Milton store to be told it’s online only now. Which I was not told the day before at Chermside.

He didn’t even attempt to help me just told me it isn’t my problem. I even asked if I order now when could I collect and he said Monday. Which is a till no good for me. Poor poor service.

Be careful, you may not get it
These guys lie through their teeth, they lie about inventory and are blaming delays on the coronavirus, look through the other other negative reviews, lie lie lie about stock. They take ur money based on the claim they have the stock on hand but they don’t have it, a clear breach of The consumer act. They government has said they will go after businesses behaving against consumers during the coronavirus issue, let’s hope they go after umart quickly and fine them for their behaviour

Great pricing, frustrating record keeping and phone support
We have built around 8 gaming PCs with UMart as well as countless component upgrades over 16 years. Their pricing is exceptional and orders are filled and delivered reliably. We would recommend them to anyone comfortable with doing their own upgrades. However we have been frustrated with call centre phone support. Faulty product replacement processes are terrible, taking many months and many follow-up calls. If prices increase between initial purchase of the faulty part (say due to buying on special) and like-for-like replacement, you pay the g...Read more
ap. That's not good customer support, and we are good loyal customers. Account management is also poor with little hope of retrieving records of past purchases beyond 18 months. The company cannot see that you have been dealing with them for many years. For example in the "What did you purchase" section below only around 12 items appear from the hundreds we have purchased.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Excellent online store
I have purchased a number of items from the Umart online storefront & each time have been happy with the experience. It's relatively easy to search for the product you are looking for, all the relevant information about the products are included on the product page & the prices are competitive.
