I am extremely disappointed with Kogan's after-sales service and warranty process.
I purchased a phone that developed issues while still under warranty. Instead of receiving a prompt and fair resolution, I have experienced long delays, poor communication, and repeated inconvenience. My phone has spent more time with the repair centre than it has with me, yet Kogan continues to delay making a straightforward decision.
As an online retailer, Kogan should stand behind the products it sells and take responsibility for its customers. If this had been a physical retail store, I believe the matter would have been resolved much more quickly. Instead, I have been left without a reliable phone for an unreasonable amount of time while constantly chasing updates.
This experience has completely eroded my confidence in Kogan. A good warranty is only as good as the company's willingness to honour it, and unfortunately, that has not been my experience.
I would strongly encourage anyone considering purchasing expensive electronics from Kogan to think carefully about the level of after-sales support they may receive if something goes wrong.
That is unacceptable and I would be livid too. Here is the practical path: under Australian Consumer Law, Kogan is legally required to provide a remedy within a reasonable time. Since they are dragging their feet, send them a formal written notice via email with "Formal Complaint - ACL Breach" in the subject. State that you are giving them 7 days to either replace the phone or refund you in full, otherwise you will lodge a complaint with the ACCC and your state's fair trading office. That usually shakes them loose because they hate regulators. Also, ask for a loaner phone or compensation for the downtime; they can provide it but you have to demand it explicitly. Keep all records. You have rights, not just requests.
