Kogan Australia Purchase and return of a generator

Please refer to ticket #[protected] and #[protected].

The unit was sent back by courier 2 weeks ago and no resolutions has been made. I have been told toughlands will be in contract. They seem to be an inadequate company as I have attempted to call them but found both numbers to be be suspect.

I have 2 messages out to Kogan and am still waiting for a reply.

I want my $749 back please.

Desired outcome: Refund via after pay $749 this week

This is a complaint for Australia I am not in the US. This just deepens my complaint and total distrust in your company, not being able to phone someone direct or lodge a direct complaint in Australia is unacceptable

Kogan Australia Hyundai smart split system air conditioner

I need help with the set up. I'm not sure the unit is a smart system as I ordered.

The technician and I could not link it to wifi/bluetooth.

What is the use of these products being such a great price if there is no follow up ?

I cannot see why al 4 options to link the wifi would not work for me. I have many products that I am able to use through my wifi system.

Warren

Desired outcome: For the system I purchased to do what it should do. Please respond. I want to speak to a technician that knows what I can do to fix this problem. I have contacted the ombudsman and am waiting. They are better to talk to than Kogan.

Kogan Australia First membership - 365 days

On the 2nd of July 2023 Kogan took $99 rollers out of my bank account for a FIRST membership 1 365 days. This was an unauthorised transaction, I did not make this transaction they just did it on their own account and that is illegal. I have tried to contact them 3 times now without any result they are telling me I can cancel the order but I can’t. There is no option to cancel this order how they explained it to me. I will be taking this illegal transaction to consumer affairs to try to get me $99 back.

This happened to me too. I purchased prepaid Sim recharge paid for it via PayPal no issues. A couple of weeks later suddenly Kogan charge me $99 for something called Kogan First direct from my PayPal account. If I did not get email from PayPal alerting me of the charge, it would have gone un-noticed. Kogan say I can cancel it by login into Kogan, but it appears the $99 charge will not be refunded even if I cancel. I am raising a dispute with PayPal hopefully can get the $99 refunded from this Kogan scam. I will also raise this with Fair Trade consumer protection. I am amazed Kogan can get away with such blaten scam.

Same thing here. It's a complete scam and I'm surprised they're getting away with it. I got no help from their 'customer care'. I just received a response explaining how to cancel future renewals despite me making it very clear I didn't want the subscription in the first place. I've lodged a dispute with PayPal so hopefully that is successful but I'm not holding my breath.

Kogan Australia Kogan 1st subscription scam - thieves/criminals

Really this is a scam. Very deceptive that they signed you up automatically for $99 subscription without any warning. I didn't even know I subscribed after buying something off their site. Malicious traders this lot. Ripping off hard working Australians! never ever buying anything from this criminals! No warning that they will charge you after a free trial of something that you are not even aware. No email whatsoever. What a bunch of thieves!

Desired outcome: Refund and stop this free trial trap with automatic subscription. This should be illegal. You should be asked for paid subscription before being debited amount. They rely that you don't even notice it and charge you maliciously for it.

Total scam. Just got swindled with this last week. No help from 'customer care' which is ironic given that the $99 was supposed to give me premium customer care service. Raised a dispute with PayPal and awaiting a result.

I have had the same experience; surely there is something we can do. I went as far as cancelling my credit card and disputed the transaction with the bank. Unfortunately the guy at the bank dealing with complaints was very familiar with the sneaky $99 Kogan stealing from customers. Unbelievable.

Kogan won't respond to me now.

Kogan Australia Lack of Communication - shame on you Kogan!!

This company should be ashamed of itself! Firstly, the only way to contact them is through email, which is a totally inefficient system. I waited days before I received a response and despite the website which states that you can REQUEST a phone call, I am yet to receive one! I now have an order worth several hundred dollars which is going to be delivered to an incorrect address. Despite MULTIPLE attempts at contacting them in a timely fashion to resolve the issue, I am now left out of pocket and items that will be delivered to a stranger. Shame on you KOGAN.

Desired outcome: I would like my money refunded.

Kogan Australia Kogan 462L French Door Fridge - Silver

ticket number [protected]

I have been without a working fridges for over a week. I paid for an electrician to come & he told me the product was fault and it fried my safety switch that needed to be replaced. I logged the fault & have generic emails asking me to trouble shoot . I sent the video of the electrician testing the fridge & 2 days later I get a request to send a technician. That was 2 days AGO! This item is a necessity & Kogan customer care have a zero care factor

Desired outcome: refund my money- no more "kogan" electrical brands for me...

Kogan Australia Customer service

Kogan if have bought many items from you and someone who trades under the Dick Smith name as an Australian owned and operated company you are a bloody joke. Don't get me wrong I am very much in support of Australian owned and operated companies. You are dragging yourself down into the gutter. You need to offer something Dick Smith was famous for and that is good after sales service and support. Try a few people and a phone number. You mudt have paid Dick Smith handsomely for him to allow you to use his name. Some good addvice would be to talk to him and ask his option on what I have written and take his advice onboard. Regardless of what you sell try to sell better products at a reasonable price and if you are going to sell crap at least offer a phone number that might lead to a speedy resolution to a problem. My objective is to see all Australian owned and operated companies be successful for we are now in a situation worldwide where we need this and not the control some countries have had on us. Key words Australian, quality, service. Fix up your act and this will lead to word of mouth, respect and far greater profits. Stop selling Chinese seconds.

Desired outcome: To see Kogan a home grown company a household name like Dick Smith still is even though he doesn't operate his stores anymore

Kogan Australia Unwanted subscription/theft of $99

After I ordered phone protectors and paid for delivery, it appears a non negotiable kogan first 14 day subscription was applied when not wanted or agreed to, especially as where I live I always have to pay delivery.

Kogan have direct debited $99 from my account without any warning, as I never made an account or signed up for the subscription-so I never received any notification of a subscription.

I have tried to contact kogan and am only receiving pre-existing automated responses. The customer phone line is a pre-recorded message that hangs up when complete.

Desired outcome: Refund of the $99 for a useless subscription I have never wanted and cannot ever use.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I've just learned that I've been paying for Kogan First on a monthly basis for the last 20 months, and I never signed up for it to begin with. I only discovered it because I was reviewing all of my subscriptions to close down anything I don't use. I've never received an invoice or statement for this, similar to what you would received from other service...

Kogan Australia difficulty in contact Kogan Australia

all i wanted to know was a message I received a scam a 2 minutes conversation, however I have been going in circles all options lead to the same site asking what my complaint is but there is no option to just a simple question.. or if I select Kogan help desk - ask an expert that then leads to Just answers Experts and i have what seems like a conversation with a Kogan customer services member abut it's not after answering a couple of questions I'm asked to pay $2 to get an answer another scam

If this is how Kogan teats customer it's not worth being a customer.

i wasn't upset or angry when I started but now I'm upset, angry and frustrated

Desired outcome: for all Kogan and companies like them to be easy to contact and not have to search endliessly

Kogan Australia Wrong order delivered

I ordered 2 dumbbell sets and a gym bench. They delivered 4 dumbbells sets and no gym bench. Kogan then asked be to get in contact with the supplier Livibe myself to resolve. They do not want to deliver my gym bench until they pick up the 2 extra dumbbells sets. First, they said they cannot pick up on weekends. Then they organized for weekend pickup and no showed. Long story short, it's been 3 weeks and I still don’t have my Gym bench and I am still sitting with 2 extra dumbbell sets. The worst service ever. I, the best is there is no contact number to call and they only reply to emails at the end of the day so you have to wait an entire 24 hours for each response

Desired outcome: I want my gym bench delivered

Kogan Australia The worst customer service

I brought 2 car jacks for my RAV4 on 21st November 2022. One is trolley jack that it is descried as " 2.5 TOn lower profile hydraulic floor jack stand quick lift SUV Car Truck". But It cannot be raised enough to lift my car off the ground at all.

The other one is "outdoor 360 10 ton hydraulic Bottle Jack Heavy Duty Car Lifter". AGAIN, This one still cannot be raised enough to lift my car off the ground at all. I have tried to contact the Kogan Team many times. There is no responds at all. I do not even know whether kogan team receives my requests or not. This is so frustrated.

WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR KOGAN TEAM RESOND ME PLEASE? THANK YOU!

Desired outcome: Would you please swap me good ones or refund? Thank you very much. I need them working ASAP.

The worst customer experience I have ever had. I have waited over 6 weeks for a TV i ordered. No explanation where my product is, no communication on what is happening, and no solutions provided either.

Terrible service, happy to take the money but not to provide a product.

TV Product ordered 2 October 2022

No resolution after asking weekly since then.

7 November offer to send replacement TV with no explanation or recourse for wait. No explanation how long product will take. Promise of product arriving in 5-7 business days

Desired outcome: I want my TV

Kogan Australia Mobile Phone (porting number)

I have tried to contact your mobile phone help desk with a problem and have not received the help required from them, so I am canceling the porting of my number [protected], and staying with my current provider. The contact number that is supplied doesn't allow me to contact them with an Australian-speaking person and I'm told by your overseas contact they can't understand me. Stephen Templeman 1st November 2022.

Your general customer service section does not speak to your mobile section and your foreign contact can't understand me and I can't understand them.

Desired outcome: Cancel my Kogan Account and be refunded the amount of $109 as my mobile service is nonexistent.

Kogan Australia Kogan charged $79 to my credit card without my approval for Kogan First subscription

I noticed that Kogan charged $79 to my credit card number that is stored within their system. When asked I was told that it is for the Kogan First subscription.

Kogan said that I signed in for a free trial membership when I bought an item sometime ago and the free trial has expired. The fact is I do not want to have the membership. No one from Kogan asked me if I want to have the membership on the expiry of the trial period so please refund my money.

Yes, this is like highway robbery. They didn't ask you if you want to renew or whatever, they just take it from Paypal without your permission. I also bought something from last year and didn't signed up then when I bought for the second time. They didn't send me my order but instead, they charged me for membership that I didn't know. And I never order again. And now I got charged for again.

I'm now dealing with the same issue! I've lodged a dispute with PayPal and no one from the Kogan help desk is answering my emails. I did not authorise this transaction nor did i ever apply for a membership. The date of the said "agreement" was 21 months ago which is ludicrous. I'm not letting this go! This is fraud!

Kogan Australia Order unable to be found, yet I have been charged.

Order placed for a washing machine on 19 August, payment method was Openpay.

Payment was successful and Openpay plan created.

When being returned to Kogan there was an error on their website and my order was not placed despite being charged.

I contacted customer support at Kogan and they told me it wasn't charged and to use a different payment method.

I called Openpay and was told it had been charged, and they provided an invoice number for Kogan to check in their system. They also advised that Kogan would need to cancel the order as they could not be sure that I hadn't received the goods.

I asked Kogan to check the invoice number and they responded with another message telling me I had not been charged.

I asked again for them to check the number and to provide authorisation for the order to be cancelled on Openpay's end.

I am yet to receive a response at all.

Desired outcome: I would like the order cancelled and the openpay order refunded so I can find an alternative supplier.

On the 1 st of Jan I was charged $79 for membership in no way did I sign up or agree or click on anything to do with membership . On the 18th of December I did buy something from Kogan and it asked me did I want to sign up to their membership and if I would like to I would need to click on the membership icon and I did not do that I've been currently trying to get in contact with them to get a refund and there's no way to contact them through a live chat I'm just going to have to wait for an email really not happy .

Kogan Australia 50" Television/Customer Service

Purchased a 50" 4k TV on 1st August 2022 and straightaway had issues with the TV not displaying 4k. Made a written complaint to Kogan and was given a complaint number. But no one ever called or emailed. I played around and found the source of the issue and solved it myself. They sell 4k TVs without turning on the 4k option in the setting. Now I have issues where my TV goes blank for a second for God knows whatever reason. I'm so disillusioned with the Customer Service that I don't even know whether to call them. They couldn't care less after they've taken your money. Disappointing.

Desired outcome: Someone to ring me on [protected]
