yesterday I was alarmed when a PayPal email turned up saying $129 was paid out to Dick Smith. I had not purchased anything and in contacting PayPal found out Dick Smith had charged me for a Subscription for that amount. PayPal sorted it for me. But I will broadcast it not to buy products from Dick Smith!! Show details

I had been looking to upgrade my ailing Laptop to a more powerful one for my newly started business. But as finances were tight, I decided to have a look at a refurbished replacement, where I could hopefully get a decent upgrade without breaking the bank. Looking through Dick Smith`s list of available Laptops, I picked a 16GB HP described as… Read more ·  2

being in very good condition.

Delivery was outstanding i received it 2 days after buying it online. It was well packed in a suitably sized box with padding. It arrived undamaged, and after checking it i couldn`t find any marks or signs of damage.

It started with no issues, and I am completely blown away by the Quality and Value for money from this purchase.

10/10 Well done, highly recommended.

Needed a laptop for tafe, my first time ever owning one, so needing help from family to set it up, it’s plugged in and charging I got that far, I’m happy receiving it on time, only 2 days and was packaged beautifully and sage. The price was great and it’s what I needed, looks great! Just have to learn how to operate it. Show details ·  1

Edit: They helped sort the issue out! thankyou for taking the time to help me resolve the issue, I appreciate it. I bought two presents for my nephews in early December. One golf ball ( pictured) turned up instead of the pack of golf balls advertised. It was not what I expected when I complained to Dick Smiths. (whom I have been using for years… Read more ·  3

with no trouble online and in-store). They referred me to their marketplace seller, who said they would give me a refund but only if I paid in full for postage. The problem is that the item was falsely advertised and I expressed that I just wanted a full refund. Dick Smith kept referring me back to the marketplace seller. No one wants to take responsibility. So I passed on the issue to the ACCC and told Dick Smith's I had done so, quoting my complaint number, hoping the issue would be resolved quicker. I still have heard no resolution on this. The second item never turned up, so I flagged this to Dick Smith who again passed me onto the marketplace seller, who said they would look into it and to follow up. They said if I still didn't get the item within a week, to contact them again, so I did and flagged this to Dick Smith. The problem is Dick Smith doesn't want to deal with any of it, the fact that months have passed by now and they keep referring me to the marketplace seller. Dick Smith please take responsibility and deal with the issues at hand. All I understandably want is a refund.

Very fast delivery from Dick Smith. Have used the 8-page cross cut shredder a few times now. It's supposed to cut paper into 4x35mm pieces but doesn't consistently do this - see photo. The shredded paper needs regular clearing from the cutting mechanism (photo) or else the machine struggles. Using the rewind, forward buttons helps clear the… Read more ·  1

residue. I've twice had small compacted pieces of paper lodge in the feeding shute making the machine inoperable. They are difficult to remove. Overall it is doing the job and I'm happy with the machine, particularly given the low price.

I was very pleased how easy it was to purchase a phone case (Spigen) from Dick Smith. It was very neatly packed and delivered in 3 days. The phone case quality is outstanding in terms of phone safety and handling. Thank you, Dick Smith, for that. Show details ·  1

Hi , asked by dick smith for a review. We purchased a fortis foldable Pilates machine. It was delivered on the third day after purchase. It was easy to assemble and works well . We were not expecting a great Pilates machine like the gym has installed however what arrived far exceeded our expectations so we are very happy with the outcome. Show reply

I am generally happy with my purchase however, I have had to purchase and have a post extension piece made to allow full range viewing with the device. It now does the job that I purchased it for. It did arrive in a timely manner and was packed very well. Thank you. Show reply

I purchased 3 items in one transaction, the first 2 items were dispatched the next day the third item was dispatched a week later (not impressive) one of the first items to arrive came with an instruction booklet with a QR code to download for an app to be put on my phone, however this app was outdated and no longer available for download (less… Read more

than impressed) an email to the supplier had a new app to download before my item could be used, I have yet to recieve the third item, so all up I am not terribly impressed with the delay and obslolete QR code that should have been recitified before despatching it to me.

Faulty phone purchased from Dick Smith NZ. Button broke under normal use. Local repair impossible. Yet they asked me to send it to Australia. After extensive back-and-forth and long delays, still no resolution. Phone is essential for daily life and work. NZ Consumer Guarantees Act says remedies must be reasonable and timely. Still waiting for a fair outcome. Show details

The jack I purchased is good, however the red paint on the handles when used turned my hands red. This washed off, however I had to clean the handles and jack to remove the red paint residue. I am hoping this is not toxic? Show details ·  1

 Follow-up  · Yes paint went all over my hands then the walls and light switches until I realised. It did wash off easily enough. 10 tonne hydraulic jack.

The 11 Tone 6 Inch C Steel Tongue Drum I ordered is great. Good value for money, has a lovely tone and I am looking forward to learning to play it properly. I trust Dick Smith as a reliable brand with quality products & solid customer support if anything goes wrong. Show reply

If I could give Zero i would. D Smith are now owned by Chinese Company Kogan. There customer service phone number is a recorded message. The APP goes around in circles and no live chat although they state there is. I ordered an item that arrived with no problems and then 15 days later $129 was deducted from my account. On investigating It was a… Read more

charge for D SMITH MEMBERSHIP. On further investigation it became apparent this is a ploy by D SMITH/KOGAN that they do not warn you about it when you order. There are plenty of reports of this online and people contact There merchant for a CHARGE BACK. Won't be long and they will be prosecuted for this disenguous act.

Waiting two months now for a product. Constant contacts only get referred to the seller who does nothing except send me the picture of it being delivered to the wrong flat number in a building I've never seen. They're showing no interest, no action, no refund, nothing.

Trust Dick Smith to have the real thing. I had been looking for weeks for a true Aussie canvas tarp, not plastic, not something that would rip in a storm but a true canvas tarp. Strong weather resistant canvas. Thanks Dick Smith, highly recommended checking here first if you are needing anything. Show details ·  1

Misleading description and no care when I complain – Hi, the blue tooth turntable I bought was only able to recieve bluetooth - not send. As it has louosy little speaker I am not sure why anyone would send to it - surely you'd want to play a record and listen on a decent speaker. When I complained I got no urgency, then twice, after review, told it was my problem (effectively!). I note the product… Read more

description has changed since but they still wont give refund for 'not fit for purpose' / 'match product description'. No product specs are available to determine bluetooth capability.
