“Bad customer service”

12/19/19

I purchased a camera from Kiwiphoto for Christmas. They processed the order 2 weeks ago a few days after I made it online. I've been waiting anxiously for it to be shipped. 8 days later I call them to find out a tracking number and they tell me the order was cancelled due to insufficient funds (they made CC payment 3 days after the order). I needed this by Christmas. CS told me he will make sure I get it by then. 2 days later I call waited 20 minutes on hold to speak to customer service and they have said it will take another 10 days to be sent from Ireland! I needed this last week. 25 days later hopefully I will get it! Very annoying and inconvenient. Good price but Bad customer service! I would have been better off waiting for boxing day sale and getting one from NZ where the warranty and repair fits.

Awesome price, my son will be so happy on his birthday! Haven't tried the product yet though as it's not his birthday until the end of the week. Hopefully he loves it.

It is not clear from the KiwiPhoto NZ website that this is actually an American based company. However I had a great trade. Good value and safe delivery by DHL.

Arrived, everything was in box, and intact. The box itself looked like it had had a hard time lol. Really great value. Yet to use, just got it, but looks amazing

“Great prices”

Verified

Great prices. Can't wait to get the lens. I am off for a weekend of photography on 7 June.

I order Thursday 30 May and my purchase arrived Tuesday 4 June. That was a day earlier than estimated and was 3 business days from order to delivery. The track and trace was brilliant. Peter at customer service was awesome. The whole experience was great.

Was surprised to find that items were not in stock within New Zealand but shipped from the US. The site is called KiwiPhoto and even had an Auckland based phone number, so it appears to be a local company. Apart from that, pretty hassle free shopping, thanks.

“Oh my GOD!!!!”

5/22/19

Verified

Oh my GOD!!!! Do not deal with these clowns!!!! I purchased a camera that was "in-stock", the debit my paypal as normal... a week went by and they debited it again!!! They then for no reason refunded one payment with NO explanation and still I am out of pocket as clearly their account has no money to refund!!!!!!

There is ZERO coherent communication and what there is is one-line stuff, and a NZ 0508 number to call that is NOT manned at all, just an answer machine, trust me I tried every hour for 24 hours! The correspondence you get back via email is so minimal and un-helpful there is no point even engaging with these guys!

So now I see the camera is STILL in stock, but they have hiked the price up! So two weeks later and numerous tries to get one of my NZD $1399 payments back, I'm still out of pocket! Just do NOT deal with them, it's just not worth it, by far the most unpleasant e-commerce experience I have had ever and I buy a LOT of electronics ex-overseas!

Verified

Great site but could I recommend more Camera bundles similar to what is available on Amazon? I think there are a lot of people out there looking for mainly entry level cameras that come with all they will likely need. Not having this is no problem for me but it may help boost sales. Thanks.

“Nice range of stock”

3/4/19

Verified

Nice range of stock. Well laid out site

Two glitches - one was being sent an email saying they could not contact them by the phone number I gave them and asking me to ring a toll number which took a long time to answer - ie I was waiting for someone to take me off hold - on the very phone they said I never answered which was never rung.

Second was an offer for a 32GB card if I did ring that number - and which I never got.

2/1/19

Verified

We are not satisfied at all with our sons purchase of a drone. As the product does not work because of a faulty battery and there is no way to speak to Kiwiphoto as they are US based.
They make out on their website to be NZ based but it's not.
I would never recommend them to anyone.
And our son is pretty upset that he saved up for this drone and now it won't work. It's a lot of money for a child.

this web-site is not in new zealand, they sold me an old obsolete computer from 2012, I had to pay a technicien $ 300 to make it work. worst ever shopping experience in my life, do not follow me, do not buy from them. I made a legal complaint with New Zealand consumer org. It might be the end of it.

“Hi There”

1/13/19

Verified

Hi There

Although the camera has been delivered, I am not satisfied at all for two reasons.

1 - When asked if I wanted the additional battery offer you had on, I said I needed to speak to my business partner before making that decision as it is a work camera and I will let them know by the end of the day. When I called back, they had already sent it and said we couldn't have it even though the guy said he would wait for my response.

2 - You are KiwiPhoto, as in a New Zealand service... however the camera has come with a Canadian plug and a British adapter so we cannot charge the camera.

I rate the service and expectations as below average and I am not happy about it. If I didn't need the camera so much I would have returned it.

Regards
Claire

“Poor”

12/11/18

Verified

Poor. I did not receive an order confirmation after ordering and was unable to contact kiwiphoto by phone or email, causing me to think I had been scammed. This is unacceptable and the reason I will never shop here again.

“Great experience”

7/30/18

Verified

Great experience. Fast delivery. When I purchased was thinking I was doing so in an Auckland company to realise later I was dealing with a US registered company that made me feel unease. Should I cancel...some web site state might be dodgy.....Happy I didn't has the parcel arrived within 10 days with all the goodies well package... Now completely trust that company and will deal again with them.

I have not received the item I purchased nor have Kiwiphoto responded to my request for order confirmation or a full refund. It now has been weeks and have concerns I will be out of pocket considerably.
