Issues with Kogan Refunding?

aec on 19/12/2021 - 21:17

I placed an order for a dishwasher in Sep. For some reason, Kogan cancelled the order for me, which is fine. As I used gift card (didnt expect the cancellation), they told me the refund will be credits, which is also fine. However, after two months, I still have not seen any credits in my account!

The experience is frustraing, and it is certainly much worse than dealing Amazon.

I am wondering what is everyone else's experience with Kogan in a similar situation. What am I supposed to do or expect? They use the fuckening message system and i can even 'chat' with someone online (or am I missing something)?

TIA.

    Stop supporting Kogan… There's dozens of posts on how terrible they are. You've been here over a decade.

    You've been an OzB member for over 10 years and a very active user of these forums.

    THIS is really all I can say.

    Kogan deliberately miselads people with his advertising, I remember signing up for insurance for a kogan voucher, and nothing but crickets. Extended warranty, it's a sham.

    He openly ignores requests from fair trading.
    Basically, unless it's a cheap mobile plan I stay away.

    Did anyone respond to you from the message system - can take days or week.

    Only buy from Kogan when it's dirt cheap, but you need to know how to manage them. If you do, you can get great deals instead of endless frustrations.

    Yeah
    Their customer services is sh1t i feel on purpose so people just stop bothering them.

    I had an issue where they locked me out of my account (had $400 credit from their black card offer) and no amount of messaging seemed to work.

    Best option was to harass their Facebook social media page. Got a response in 12 hours and account unlocked after 24 hours.
    It's the only way.

      what about ombudsman or fair trading?

      • Drakesy on 20/12/2021 - 21:44

        Exhaust all options before going to worst case scenario
