How Reliable Is Catch These Days?

Seen some deals on Catch but reviews seem too good to be true on obviously cheap crap and hit too many selling points. Most products look like junk but there's some branded stuff that looks like a deal.

I never trusted it before because it just looked untrustworthy, it still does, but it seems to be growing.

Is it a crap shoot for actually getting a deal?

    Catch is owned by Wesfarmers (same as Bunnings, Kmart, Target etc) so they're reliable. Only ever ordered one PS5 game and got sent to local Target for pickup just fine.

    Having said that, they have an awful website that's very difficult to navigate and filter items to find what you want but they're legit, provided you purchase items sold by Catch themselves only and not third-parties on their marketplace (same for any other like Amazon). Always avoid third-party sellers on marketplaces.

  • Ah, okay. Thanks for that.

    I had no idea about the structure of the company. Didn't realise it was a corporate mega-giant subsidiary. Just seemed like some dodgy mob. :P

      tbh i loved catch of the day when it first launched - the old bargain at midday each day, wasn't dodgy back then either

    I’ve ordered things on eBay and it came from catch. The eBay item was around $15 cheaper than the exact same item on catch.
    It was drop shipped but I’m still unsure how the seller makes money.

    • Hey Wiadro thanks so much for your help mate

  • Catch like Bunnies has a few ways of working :
    - Items sold by catch - normally sent from catch warehouse
    - Items sold by catch marketplace - normally sent from suppliers warehouse if they have stock.

    There may be more.
