“Every item I've bought is top quality”

reece b.
1/29/20

Purchased, washing machines, televisions, kitchen appliances, small household items, every time it works great, the couriers are usually independent and sometimes they use toll, It is worth getting freight protection/extended care for certain items because even with the add on, it is still far cheaper then competitors.

Top Critical Review

“Give me a refund”

Lauren V.
6/6/24

Kogan, Kogan, what a plight, A trick you played, late one night. I sought a game, a gift to share, Yet found deceit laid lurking there. I never shop within your walls, For often your service falls. This time I thought, just one quick buy, Yet you charged me on the sly. A membership I didn't seek, One twenty-nine, it left me weak. Your tactics low, your cunning deep, In fine print hidden, shadows creep. Careful am I, with eyes so sharp, Yet still, you struck with your dark art. A gift of joy, now tinged with spite, As Kogan's scheme comes into light. Why this trick, this lowly game, To charge a fee, bring buyer's shame? Undo this wrong, make it right, Restore the trust, lost in the night.

Ordered a power board from one of there marketplace sellers and they sent me the wrong one, 6 weeks later after dozens of email, being lied to and palmed of there finally sending a envelope so I can send it back. Let me make this clear, you for not get support with Kogan, they operate as if Fair Trade rules don't apply, very predatory business.

Tip for consumers:
Don't!!

I returned a product in perfect order, they took months to find it within their system.
Then offered me a credit on account only. Numerous complaints about this Coy but still they get away with a poor service to customers. Never again.

The worst service ever, I received my shoes and found them to be too small, contacted them strait away, well within the 14 day rules, they offered me an exchange by purchasing another pair online at a inflated price, then said they would match it but didn't. Then sent me a bill so I paid and now they are not replying to me, haven't refunded my original purchase and I have also paid to send the original ones back. I'm still trying to get a refund from my original purchase and they are stalling and saying they see another contact request is pending and will be in touch but it has been quite some time. USELESS!
Disgusting service!

THE WORST customer service I've ever experienced. Products are also dodgy. I bought a "Grade A" quality refurbished iPhone 7 and it was sent to me with a critical battery error. I had Kogan pay for a local shop to replace it for a new one. Weeks later my phone would get stuck in a boot loop and freeze if it died. I caved and had it sent back for repairs. It's been 6 days and they told me it will take another 8 days just to access the problem. After that they'll update me. WANKERS. Never again.

Made a purchase on 5/11/19 for item costing $29 with free delivery included. I advised my bank details at that time then 2 weeks later Kogan deducted $99 from my account. Unable to contact a real person to discuss this matter. Have gone the old fashioned way and sent a letter to them. I don't expect a reply. My bank has blocked my card and issued a new one to me and will be following up the dispute of this transaction. Definitely underhand tactics to defraud my account.

Hi I ordered 19 of this units but 5 of them a leaking hydraulic oil please have a look at the attached pictures. I have also lodge another claim for one that I purchase earlier the ticket numbers are ******* and *******. How do I go about getting this product exchange as this 6 units that I have here are faulty. I haven't heard back from anyone about my first email on 08/01/22. I need someone to contact me urgently in regards to this issue. If I don't hear back from Kogan within 48 hours I will have no option but to contact Consumer Affair and lodge a formal complaint and I will also be contacting American Express for them to revert the payment for the last invoice in full till someone from Kogan contact me the first issue was lodge on 08/01/22 and not to hear back from Kogan in this period of time is not acceptable. I'm giving them 1 star so I can report this scam. If i could give them 0 star that what they would be getting

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this company Kogan they don't reply back to your email once they take your money

I bought a new brand Samsung phone from them. But they send me a used one. You can see from the pics box does not have the company seal and they used their stickers as a fake seal.
There is no phone to communicate with them, Only email and they respond to your emails after 24 hours with a few meaningless words and no actual action.
Unfortunately, it is not very easy in Australia to chase scammers and they are kind of aware of it. However my recommendation to the fellows please protect your time and money and avoid these overseas Indians.

These guys will do everything they can to scam extra $$$ sneakily from you - asking as you check out a lot of questions - some which sneakily add ongoing charges to you.
Unethical.
I would never use Kogan again.

Am cheated and mislead by your express post option.

What is my order doing in Queensland? It supposed to be delivered yesterday, Why It is sent from Vic to half the way other side of country and not to NSW?

Air cargo from India to Sydney take less days.

Kogan Express post is a scam to make more money.

Kogan continue to send me emails and text messages even after several un-subscribe requests over several months. My partner also got hit with the $99 Kogan First scam. Luckily she picked it up early and prior to the money leaving our account and cancelled the payment with our bank and PayPal. I've reported them to The Australian Media and Communications Authority (ACMA). This government authority is likely a toothless tiger but it will be interesting to see if anything happens. I encourage everyone who has a complaint about Kogan in relation to receiving un-subscribed emails and text messages and the Kogan First scam to report them to ACMA https://www.acma.gov.au/. Sometimes strength in numbers does work.

Ordered a sofa bed through Kogan. One half of it arrived on time. The other half seems to be in a black hole somewhere. The support keeps sending me around in circles and won't let me submit a report or enquire and their courier company has no information on the missing part.

Kogan has basement third world muppets who cannot supply the correct information to operate your SIM card whenever you need to replace your new phone. The owner smells of dotcom type criminal behaviour, just doesn't care a jot about customers. Three days so far to get information to no avail.

Tip for consumers:
once again, predator scum sucking the money out of customers. Ruslan Kogan needs to drop.

Product was useless (wall cabinets) - Kogan themselves were ok to deal with (delivery, response etc), however it cost me $100 to receive the products and then send them back... so a total waste of time and effort.

Purchased an Ex Demo Ipad for sons Xmas present. Arrived faulty upon opening - clearly it wasnt tested, etc
Returned to Kogan and after 10 days looking at it, they agreed to replace. 2 weeks later, no Ipad and no contact as they clearly are out of stock, which is OK, but let me know or offer a refund.
Another 2 weeks and numerous follow ups and they reply that they will get back to me shortly. Guess what? Its all lies. Nobody every gets back to you or is honest about what is happening. This mob take advantage of being an online business and simply dont care once they have your money. Zero integrity and zero customer care. Every email reply is a copy and paste generic response full of false promises. Ipad returned in December and its mid February and we are still waiting.
Read the reviews and go elsewhere - its incredibly frustrating.

Worst tv or electrical item I have ever bought. If you are thinking of buying a tv you would be better buying one from an op shop that comes in black and white than these terrible items. So many issues including remote, wifi, turning on compatibility wifi picture etc

I'm assuming these two duvets were made in China, feather/down, but there's no brand other than Kogan. Cover obviously too permeable. Returns for online stuff just too complicated, and expensive. Very disappointed.

I have written 30 emails various texts and still no air/ heat conditioning unit, not working 3 service calls and 6 months waiting for replacement or refund. Bought unit 28/12/2019 delivered 15/01/2020 now 12/06/2020.
Probably the worst Australian company for service I have seen in 50 years.
Imagine if you were elderly and need to stay warm in winter. Only benefit saved money on electricity charges.

Purchased a $300 LG monitor less than 12 months ago and the product was clearly faulty (plastic disintegrated, stand fell apart), Kogan advised me on this information only via email that it was not considered a fault (and they didn't have any replacement stands on hand to swap it with). When I threatened to escalate they allowed me to post the item back for a full credit refund. Since then Kogan's internal system advised me the return was rejected, but they kept the monitor! Not surprised but genuinely disappointed with the outcome which in my opinion is illegal trading behaviour. Am I going to bother with pursuing a claim on Kogan through QCAT? It's just not worth the time.

So please let my story be a warning to anyone considering buying from Kogan!

Kogan offers dispatch dates and then moves the goal post without informing you (except when you log in to see if item had been dispatched already, as the date originally promised had passed).

To top it, there is no number to call them and find a reason for this extension (4 weeks) on delivery.
