Kogan Australia Paid for a caravan ball weight guage. Nothing sent

They have gone over the top now and should be looked at by the Trade Practices people for not handling issues in a fair and equitable way.

Taking people's money, making it hard to contact them over no goods, then they hide behind referred third party subscription sites. I think they have a duty of care to their customers. I say close them down for shonkey practices.

Recommendation: Let them decline into oblivion. Australia does not do business this way. they lost the plot

I agree 100%

They are so dodgy & scam customers

I can’t get anywhere with my complaint, after so many weeks.

How are they still going? Why haven’t they been shut down? There are so many terrible reviews of unhappy customers & yet they continue to do business in Australia. I’m so upset knowing they get away with it.

Kogan Australia Apple iphone

I purchased an Apple iphone from you on the 8th September and have just been advised the phone which by the way had no sim card that it is locked into Vodaphone and therefore I can not use it with my sim card which is from Dodo. I believed I was buying a new unlocked mobile phone as it is illegal to sell locked phones what can you do to help me with this problem as I have spent the last 3 days trying to solve the problem myself and have not got anywhere other than Dodo advising me to get in touch with Vodaphone whe says they need a number off their sim card which is not and never has been since I bought it in the phone. I need you to unlock this phone or I will be sending it back to you. Please let me know what you are going to do about this as soon as possible. Thanks Percy Wight.

Desired outcome: unlock this phone so that I can use it.

Contact Kogan Australia’s customer service immediately, stating that you were sold a locked phone under the belief it was new and unlocked. Emphasize that selling locked phones without disclosure is not compliant with Australian law. Request that they either unlock the phone or provide a full refund. Include your order details and explain your communication with Vodafone and Dodo, highlighting the issue with the missing SIM card. If they don't respond promptly, inform them you’ll escalate the matter with consumer protection agencies and consider returning the phone for a refund. Keep all documentation for your records.

Not worth the risk. Protect yourself and your money by staying away from Kogan Australia.

Our conclusion: ComplaintsBoard's detailed research into Kogan Australia's operations indicates high risk and questionable legitimacy. We strongly recommend that potential customers avoid dealing with Kogan Australia to protect their personal and financial well-being. If you’ve had a negative experience with this company, please report it to ComplaintsBoard by submitting a complaint.

With only 0% of 1 complaints being resolved, Kogan Australia slow complaint resolution rate suggests poor service, lack of responsiveness, or a lack of helpfulness, causing frustration to users. It is obvious that the company has the lowest level of trust.

There was some difficulty in evaluating or examining the information or data present on the kogan.com, an be seen as a negative sign of its legitimacy. This could indicate that the site is hiding information. Consider the potential risks involved in engaging with a website if you're unable to analyze its content.

Kogan Australia protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.

We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Kogan Australia. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • We found clear and detailed contact information for Kogan Australia. The company provides a physical address, 2 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 4 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.
  • Kogan.com has a valid SSL certificate, while Scammers can obtain a valid SSL certificate by using fake information or by using a stolen or hijacked domain. In some cases, they may even use a certificate issued to another legitimate website.
  • Kogan.com you are considering visiting, which is associated with Kogan Australia, is very old. Longevity often suggests that a website has consistently provided valuable content, products, or services over the years and has maintained a stable user base and a sustained online presence. This could be an indication of a very positive reputation.

Kogan Australia 13-in-1 steam mop. I bought this product some 2 years ago. I used it without prolems 4-5 times. Today unfortunayelly

I bought this product some 2 years ago. I used it without problems 4-5 times. Today unfortunately it stopped producing steam. delivering only water through the nozzle. I can also smell a slight odour of electrical trouble, I followed instructions as per manual as to how to fix the no-steam problem. NOTHING works. I assume that the warranty is long gone. Everything appears ok... except no steam and a pulsed steram of COLD water through the nozzle. I bought the appliance in good faith and I also understand warranty limits. The appliance is very well made and it worked quite well until this happened. I do feel cheated that it did not last much, I feel also that Kogan should be graciously responsible for products they sell. I have tried to log in Kogan but to no avail. I do expect a replacement once you confirm my details.

Kogan Australia Kogan First membership

02 April 2024

I joined Kogan First in September 2022. Earlier this year I cancelled my membership and was told I'd still get the benefits until September 2024 when my account is officially inactive. I have now received notification from PayPal that I authorised a payment of $99 to Kogan. I did not do this! I have read reviews showing that I am not alone in this type of action. I too have tried contacting Customer Care with no luck and am angry that this company can take advantage of its customers!

Claimed loss: $99.00 for unauthorised payment

Desired outcome: I'd appreciate a response and refund of $99.00

Kogan Australia Membership

I recently purchased something from Kogan and did not realise I had entered a membership.

I have purchased from Kogan previously so assumed the terms of purchase were the same.

I have just been charged $99 membership fee.

After my purchase I received several advertising emails from Kogan so did not see the email regarding the free 14 day trial ending.

This is clearly a deceitful way of charging unsuspecting people

Claimed loss: $99

Desired outcome: Refund $99

Kogan Australia Subscription

Hi, My name is Raymond, on the 10th of Dec I ordered a $61.00 water dispenser through Kogan. At the time I noticed free shipping and proceeded to checkout where the option to redirect to Paypal was available. The next thing I remember was being unsure whether.my order was even succesful and I almost unintentionally ordered twice. On the 25th of Dec I checked my credit card statement and noticed a $99 charge to Kogan I have tried to contact them through online chat which redirects to email. It has been days now with no correspondence from them. I can't believe a large company like Kogan can intentionally extort large sums of money without accountability.

Claimed loss: $99.00

Desired outcome: Refund

Kogan Australia Kogan 65" smart TV.

TV was very slow from the start then would lose voice/picture synchronization.

TV turns itself of without warning, sometimes screen goes black won't respond. Have to unplug wait awhile before turning back on.

Kogan said to download new firmware which we did, to no avail.

Requested a return for full refund because this is hands down the worst TV I've ever owned, but Kogan wants the TV to go to a technician and issues a barcode for this however since then they have not replied to any email requesting the courier collect it. So now we have a useless TV in a box cluttering up our lounge room.

Kogan is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with in 64 years, shocking lack of customer service and no phone number to actually talk to a human about this issue..

Dept of Consumer Affairs now going to be contacted along with A Current Affair.

Absolutely disgraceful company. Steer clear of this shonky company.

Claimed loss: $990

Desired outcome: Full refund, I don't want this piece of crap TV.

Kogan Australia Kogan.com

I bought a leaf blower from kogan.com, and they did not generate an invoice, or shipping details for more than 2 days. I cancelled my order. Then after 2 days of cancelling my order, they shipped it and did not refund my money. I did not open the goods and shipped it back, paying the return charges from my pocket $18. I still did not get my refund. I provided the tracking id of returned item as well. Then out of nowhere they charged me $99 on my credit for some Kogan First membership that I never opted for. Kogan doesn't have a contact phone number and I'm continuously sending them emails and they are not refunding my money. I had to cancel my credit card to stop them for charging it more. The website keeps sending my in loops and I'm unable to cancel the subscription to kogan first. screenshots attached.

Claimed loss: $177

Desired outcome: Need full refund.
