“Urgent: Order not delivered / I need help now!”

I urgently need to speak to an operator. I have called your customer service line 5 times and the only option I am give is a text box but when I try text it comes up with an error every time. I have attempted emailing and have not heard back. My Kmart order has been "delivered" - with 4 parcels all apparently signed off by me and delivered at my address. The big problem is I have not signed these and they are not at my address. I need help now! Tracking id: CPBM6IZ0717300 CPBM6IZ0726224 CPBX20C4026950 CPBM6IZ0714695

The store is great. I've done some Christmas shopping for my family and friends there and everyone seemed to love the presents.

The staffs are very rude there. I went shopping for a specific product yesterday and asked the staff where it is. It was simply a question "Are you a staff member of Kmart?" and they didn't even bother to answer vocally and just pointed at the logo on their shirt. I'm offended, as if they are saying Are you blind? Can't you see the logo on my shirt or something? As well as the second staff, not friendly at all. No smiling, just frowning. When I politely asked them if they sell any bags here, they just replied "No" rudely and walked away. Do you call this service? I'd give it a zero

Tip for consumers:
They have very poor service at Riccarton Kmart, Christchurch, New Zealand, would not recommend.

Kmart is straight up my favourite place to shop at. They have almost everything - clothes, shoes, homeware, kitchen appliances, toys, etc. Their pricing is great too, most things are under $20. I generally find that their products also have great quality - if not, returns are free if the product is faulty. All you have to do is take it in-store with proof of purchase! Everything in Kmart is sooooo aesthetic, and I always end up buying more things that I orginially intended to :)

My experience with Kmart has been very good so far. No issues. All I've ordered arrived on time and exactly how I saw in their website. I also liked how easy it is to track your purchase.

Besides the prices being ridiculous compared to other store prices of exact merch... For Christmas we received and bought gift cards which come to find out you can not use to purchase game console cards or other cards to that effect. Which is just absolutely ridiculous. They will except returns with no receipt. Do exchange with what could be stolen items in the first place. Everywhere excepts credit cards where payments can be disputed. Why on earth can I not pay 20 in cash on a gift card and not be able to purchase and xbox game pass? I don't understand please explain

Great customer service and orders arrive fast and the website is easy to navigate and find what you are looking for by narrowing results by category, price range, brand, etc.

I tried to order a diaper bag and after calling the verification number my order was cancelled because I could not verify what county I live in in a different state when I was 8 years old completely ridiculous. If I verify my card that's all that should matter. I was also on hold for 20 mins just to be told there was nothing I could do other then reorder it. Never using Kmart again.

My friend and I were testing out skateboards that we were about to buy. Lady that works here yelled at us so we didn't buy them. Not coming here for my things. My friend also had bought one from here, she will now be returning it as soon as possible. I loved Kmart but now this upset me and put me in a very bad mood. Bad service today.

I ordered two shirts from Kmart. I needed to return them. I received my money back for one and not the other. I sent them several emails and have not heard anything back! I will never order from them again

I purchased a vacuum cleaner from the soutland store on 19. 2. 2020 and when I opened the box i found that the item was heavily soiled, dirt all on the outside on the internel filters (there was also evidence someone had vacuumed liquid on the filter) and all in the barrell. I came back to the store to return the item on 20. 2. 2020 at 12:37pm and was met with a very abrupt and rude manager. Because i had to catch a cab from home to southland and back again twice which is costly and i am disabled and on a walker so the 2 trips to the store is painful requiring me to take pain meds just to get there so as a result i asked if i can be reimbursed for my time, inconvenience, pain and trouble by having a $4.50 cleaning cloth for free or discounted and the manager cut me off ubruptly with a no and walked away. Im very disappointed and annoyed that kmart would receive the used vacuum back without checking it properly then sealing the box back up with tape, put it on the shelf and try and sell it again, and then to be faced with poor customer service when I return the item.

Ordered a pair of slippers and received a baby product. Had to do an online chat to get the issue fixed. They refunded the shipping charges and placed an order to send the slippers. Finally received the slippers they're the wrong size (xl instead of l) and have a clearance tag for less than what I paid. I won't order from them again.

I don't shop here anymore. They have closed so many stores. Their merchandise is never in stock. It's totally different in a bad way. I would not recommend shopping here anymore.

Very good experience!

I have ordered from this site several times and have had no problems. They also have a service to order and pick your items up at your local store to save on shipping costs like the other giant retailers. They always have sales and coupon codes to utilize as well as their shopyourway reward program. Would recommend to everyone!

Today I visited the Walmart in Aspen Hill Maryland my friend cut himself when he was in the store and when he asked the worker which I believe was a manager for a Band-Aid she got real nasty and rude and we felt very disrespected it was very unprofessional We try to apologize to the employee for the misunderstanding and she continued to be rude and disrespectful to us I will never come to this Kmart ever again and I will tell everybody that I know not to spend a dollar here either very unprofessional if you need to buy anything you're better off going to Walmart instead of dealing with these rude employees at Kmart!

I could stay here for hours! So cheap. Great variety! Lovit!
I absolutely recommend this store to all. However the new set up in Hastings NZ, is just not the go. Why have checkouts in the middle of a shop?

I ordered a pair of boots for my son for Christmas, I got the confirmation email and they charged me for them, the next day I get an email saying they're not in stock and my order cancelled, but will take 5-7 days to get my money back... a company should never charge a customer for an order until the item is verified atleast, better yet until it ships. I wont be doing business with them again, because its gonna be way closer to christmas before my money comes and I'll have to hurry to find him something else.
