The membership is automatically added and auto renewed without consent
They add free $4.99 delivery
Add free membership then sting you each month when your not even buying anything from then totally not worth it
It's a scam on first purchase
Membership cost more than my purchase of $29 do not use this site
Go to JB or Harvey Norman site
You can't turn trial off
Auto adds looks like there doing you a favour but it's a trap
I ordered a pair of 5Kg dumbbells through Kogan but to my surprise they are 2.5kg each. I am pretty sure I ordered 5kg each.
Then I went back and checked my order, it says 5kg Dumbbell set. Then I realized that its trick wording that Kogan uses to trick their customers into buying products like this.
Very disappointed with this. I got the order delivered late plus its incorrect.
Products die shortly after warranty periods. Kogan does everything it can to block and prevent any responsibility to repair or replace. Spend the money buy decent products.
I bought multiple items in one order and with almost half of them I had problems. They charged me extra for some, sent me a wrong product and the quality of Kogan TV I received was awful. And their customer care is the worst. I had to email them several times and wait for a long time to get a response from them.
The Kogan TV I got was awful. The USB wasn't working. The remote control worked randomly. It was terrible. And I emailed them for refund the first day I received the TV. It's now more than a month and more than 40 emails I still couldn't get my money back. I will never ever shop with Kogan again. DO NOT shop with Kogan.
I bought a monitor last month and the after they marked it as posted. I waited for two weeks for it while it was Express post and didn't received it. I followed up with Auspost and they said Kogan just scanned the label and didn't post the item. Contacted Kogan and they wasted another 2 weeks with saying we posted it and it's delayed due to COVID-19. At the end they said there was a problem in our warehouse and couldn't do it, and at the moment we don't have it in stock anymore!
They offered refund or store credit and I've chosen to get refund but now after a week I still haven't paid and they are not responding to my communications!
They are an absolutely dodgy business and literally fraud.
I recently purchased a Kogan 24 inch Smart TV. Having read some of the reviews, I was a bit concerned about whether I had done the right thing. I had not been able to find a Smart TV of such small dimensions but this TV fitted the space perfectly. The service was prompt, the TV was easy to set up and the picture is clear and I love it.
Refusing to abide by Australian Warranty and Consumer law. Don't buy from them tell others. They need to be held accountable for poor quality products and poor customer service... email only
I recently returned an iPhone that stopped working and Apple were willing to exchange it under warranty until they found out that it was brought in HongKong via Kogan. Kogan were happy to refund the entire value for the iPhone and asked for Notes from Apple. Despite 6 weeks since Kogan received the return package, they have not yet contacted me for the refund and stopped communicating altogether! There is no phone number on their website so all messages are sent via their help centre on their website. Tickets have gone unanswered even though I'm a Kogan First priority member!
26/03/2023: I contacted Kogan via Facebook and twitter and their Facebook team responded very very quickly. I have therefore changed the overall rating from 1 to 3. I also received a full refund after my case was examined by their senior staff.
Note to the community: Kogan has a potential ticketing bug where their replies to older tickets are not received by the customer. In my case a Kogan representative contacted me via phone and said he had replied to my emails which were missing from my inbox. He even sent emails to alternate email addresses which were not received. However, once he initiated a new ticket, we received their email.
Awful, the sell you in working products. Then stuff you around, you send to back. They have the same product forn50 dollars cheaper. So now they have my money the phone and the money it cost to poat it back. They pretty much stole for me now. And they for some reason can not understand why I just want my money back. They are useless.
VERY PLEASED, in fact, over the moon! Bought the kogan Genie robotvac, paid 179, rrp 1199. I have large floorboards and cats, handles my home. It was delivered in 2 business days. VERY HAPPY Highly recommend and cant stop raving about it
Bought a new fancy racing chair, been shopping Kogan for a while.
What arrived A BEDSIDE TABLE.!
Kogan won't send the item I bought by courier and collect the mistake they made. NO
I have to print labels, travel with the heavy item into town and post it back.
THEN WAIT for them to check it (unopened as I didn't order it) then they will send(so they say) what I ordered.
NOT only do I incur costs I also have to wait way longer to get what I ordered.
Customer Service is failing dismally at kogan losing me and many other customers.
Ruslan Kogan, should care more about customer satisfaction, not doing the right thing and putting out customers is losing more than the cost of fixing it.
Bought a cabinet, arrived broken. There is no number to call, only email. I emailed and requested a replacement and I sent them photos. They refused to replace, only refund. I know they have stock, as i emailed them from a third party email asking them so. I have now one week later requested a refund, and no answer. They do not answer emails, they do not call customers on request, there is no customer service, no values or morals *** BUYER BE AWARE*** IF YOUR SMART YOU WILL BUY ELSEWHERE. Somewhere that value repeat customers
I have lodged a claim with fair trade and also a paypal dispute
Kogan.com announced in May that they grew more than 2M active members. I did a trial shopping on Kogan.com, Before I receive my products, Kogan automatically upgraded me into Kogan First 365bday membership via a marketing email and deducted $99.00 from my credit card I saved on Kogan Account.
I lodged a complaint to dispute the unauthorised membership and the unauthorised membership fee. I stated that automatically deducting money from my credit card without my knowledgement and permission is a breach of trust!
I believe this kind of membership growing is absolutely not acceptable, doggy, like a scam.
I am wondering how many out of the two millions members are automatically upgraded members like me? I wanted to cancel my membership, Kogan.com did not allow to. I wanted to remove my credit card, Kogan.com did not allow me.
It seemed to me that I have to kidnapped by Kogan.com to act as a member they need, though I will never buy anything from Kogan. Com again!
I can certainly provide some feedback. My (very expensive) smart watch arrived with only SPANISH instructions, for the cost of this watch I should have received ENGLISH instructions unless otherwise advised. I ended up having to google a copy of the instruction manual in ENGLISH to get started. The problem then was the factory settings for the watch itself was defaulted also to SPANISH. So I had to set up GOOGLE TRANSLATE, to work out how to start the phone set up in ENGLISH. For the cost of this watch, I am not satisfied with this ridiculous issue that I had to overcome. If you're going to sell international smart watches, you need to include some form of obvious disclaimer with this product to advise it may arrive in another language and here's some instructions regarding what to do if that occurs. KOGAN needs to step up its game if you want your customers to return. I won't be……
Bought an item on 4sept, shipped on 4sept and delivered on 1st Oct.
Essential item,, baby camera. 27days to be delivered from Australia to Christchurch
Pathetic service and even more pathetic courier companies
I purchased the Kogan Agora XS Phone, The screen Protector and the shock cover from Kogan. I had the phone on my knee and forgot when standing. This little 40cm drop in the "shock protection case" failed to protect the phone. I contacted Kogan and they are saying it is my fault yet there shock absorbsion cover failed to protect the phone from a 40 cm drop. The screen detached from the phone. This demonstarates the poor protection of the absorbsion cover and the poor quality of the phone.
During my shopping online experience, I was consistently encouraged to join "Kogan 1st" for a 14 day free trial that had free shipping and reduced prices for certain items I was buying if I ticked "yes" to trying the free trial. I figured sure why not. When I got to the payment page, items had been discounted with free shopping applied. Great I thought and went ahead and purchased them. Imagine my SHOCK! When I received an invoice from Kogan via email for not only the full cost of the items but shipping charges for all of them as well!
I sent an email to their help email address (they've got no call centre whatsoever!) and received an automated reply along the lines of "Oh you're wondering why you've been charged the $49 for Kogan First... blah blah blah" (which leads me to think that this is not an isolated complaint from consumers.) However the automated response did not address the fact I was charged full price for items and shipping after clicking the 14 day trial, so I replied back, and got... crickets.
I have attempted 3 more times to get an actual response back with absolutely nothing. I also tried a number of Kogan 1300 numbers only to get nowhere and not even get to speak to an actual person!
Kogan, I should report you to Consumer Affairs for false advertising and consumer entrapment!
In the meantime, I will never be shopping from you again, and shouting it from the rooftops to anyone who will listen to never purchase from Kogan! Pick up your game Kogan!
Kogan don't give a damn about you as a customer.
I sent 5 emails in 2 days to advise them that they had the incorrect address
No response
The item was returned
They then sent me 3 emails asking how I was enjoying my purchase
I told them what I thought and no response other than sorry for the inconvenience
Don't go near them they are RUBBISH
Mark
Product was recalled by Kogan promised a refund in approximately 5 day still waiting, sent countless emails, just get a load of jargon order number E/*******201-*******
Scam site, nothing gets delivered. Probably less than helpful when asking for help. Oh, its your problem, none of our business type of attitude. Never again buy with them.
Answer: Not only rubbish customer service, they won't give you a refund if your product doesn't arrive. - Check these out - https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/kogan-in-court-for-alleged-false-or-misleading-discount-advertisements https://www.choice.com.au/shopping/consumer-rights-and-advice/your-rights/articles/kogan-returns-and-refunds-issues I learnt the hard way so save your safe the time and stress and go elsewhere.
Answer: Stay away from Kogan - I think you have by default signed up for some crap Kogan First Club - if you didn't unsubscibe within 14 days, they then hit you with a membership fee
Answer: No they just say they will get back to you eventually but they never do
