Terrible communication and customer service. Had to send multiple emails regarding my order, which they never responded to. They sent incorrect shipping information which left me wondering if this was a scam site

Never again, hard returns, products not as described .

Ui received my battery today and it wouldn't fit my B&D sander

I bought a chicken fence that came with the wrong sized screws so I was unable to assemble it, I emailed them for replacement screws, none have arrived weeks later, not much use to me, customer service dreadful.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Product was completely faulty and unusable. $50 + postage for a hunk of useless plastic. Have tried for the past 2 weeks to get a refund and customer service giving a complete run around. Eventually they offered me a $20 refund as a “gesture of good will” which is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I am livid and would encourage people to buy elsewhere. Terrible experience.

Purchased 2 stainless steel cat water fountains on line, was the cheapest I could find around, a bonus was they were coming from a New Zealand warehouse, arrived 2 days of ordering, they looked like I hoped they would and worked better than I thought they would because they are silent. Thumbs up from me so far.

Buyer beware, hit and miss/ bad communication.
I had an ok experience, ordered a 2k ish tool chest and it showed up as described,no damage but not really any communication.
Company can be slack with communication,and thats even if they send you your order based off what I've seen online.
Buyers use at your own risk.

Terrible customer service, I contacted them on their chat and said I was trying to purchase something on afterpay, but when I was checking out I went to choose the payment method afterpay and it wasn't there. They replied with “it should come up on the checkout page when you scroll down - we have afterpay and zip”
Yea way to state the obvious that I clearly stated I already knew, but absolutely no assistance with it.

Made two purchases over the last 6 months, both were excellent. Great customer service and items arived quickly and very good quality. Will definitely be using Buy Kiwi Direct again

Terrible online store. Bought a Sony earphone thinking it was legit store but got caught in the scam. Had real Sony earphones to compare with when it arrived. Had subtle differences, but nonetheless the phones were fake. Do not trust buying from this site unless you want to part with your money.

I got sent a cat tree with most dimensions being correct to what was stated. It ended up crooked . Then after emails back and forth they say they will send me a different part to fix. That will be interesting as many parts are nit the correct sizing. The qaulity control must be poor. Also much nicer in picture than real life. Looks more yellow than cream. Update received part, still not level. I was then told they are not going to do anything, my expectations are to high. Mmm I didn't order a cat tree that had a bed on a bad angle . Dont buy , they dont care and then blame customer

Trying to contact buykiwi.co.nz & buykiwidirect.co.nz by phone or physical address to confirm details of a carseat for a toddler & to collect as I needed it within 3 days was impossible. Pleased I checked Trust Pilot reviews. It confirmed these sites are unreliable & do not have an actual store, admin or otherwise in New Zealand.
The info below is the only physical address info I found on the 'shop' section

Sold me trailer lights and one light doesn't work. Emaild them and they just pass you onto someone else without a care in the world. But will happily take you're money. Heres a nice one star for youre time with helping me, not.

First and last time, brought an led makeup mirror, barely any packaging and the box was all squished. If you want to sell items and buy items in NZ lift your game or people will just buy from overaeas

Ordered a pressure washer as listed on their site. Paid by card. No update for a week. Received a message from the actual seller saying the product was not available. Sent an enquiry to BuyKiwi and was offered either another (more expensive) product or a refund. Asked for a refund. Still waiting for my money, more than two weeks later. Definitely don’t recommend this crowd and definitely won’t buy from them again.

Ordered a play pen. Wish I had looked here first.

Item was completely different to what was described and pictured

Item didn’t show up. Called customer service, who had no record of my order, abd couldn’t even find the item by SKU on the website. Said I should have received a tracking number, which may have gone to my junk email. I didn’t. They couldn’t give me a tracking number. Kept referring to ‘the team’ as a separate group, said, ‘this is just a call centre, we don’t have access to that information.’
Still waiting to hear back via email.
Don’t waste your time.

I wish I had seen these reviews before buying off Buy Kiwi. I had a similar bad experience like many here. They were reluctant to refund, putting the onus on the seller company (Kiwi Grab), who reluctantly agreed to refund me. Buy Kiwi said it was up to the seller to refund me, but the seller only refunded me their sales proceeds and not the commission that Buy Kiwi charged them. I then asked Buy Kiwi to refund their commission of $99 but they refused. They have not replied to my further email requests. I will not buy off them again and do not recommend them at all as to refuse to refund a commission which they did not earn, is both unprofessional and unethical! They have lost me (and Karen and others), through not refunding when refunds are due. What morons.

I purchased a treadmill through Buy Kiwi (seller: TheShopSite) and it arrived faulty. I reported the issue but received no response from the seller. Then I suddenly got a message from a shipping company saying they would pick it up – but no one has confirmed if I’ll be refunded or given a replacement, or even if the pickup is legitimate. I expected Buy Kiwi to step in and support customers in situations like this, but the lack of communication has been extremely disappointing. I would not recommend using Buy Kiwi or TheShopSite based on my experience.

Shocking customer service, really do not recommend you purchase of this website. They are not compliant with the CGA and are a pain to get a refund from although they sent a faulty product. Seriously, take your money elsewhere or expect lots of hassle trying to get your money back from them.
