First relatively pain free online purchase. Free pickup in store.
Ordered a game capture device and arranged to pick it up in store.
I did not shop around for pricing as i wanted to have it in hand immediately.
My order was confirmed the same day and was ready to pick up the next. Only the order number and my ID was required to pick up the item.
The process was surprisingly painless (unlike previous online order experiences I've had). The only pain point was needing to wait for staff to be available and free to serve - there was a 15 minute wait. Waiting times will most likely vary from store to store and the times which you go.
I would consider purchasing online from JB again should i need an item immediately to pick up.
Really poor online customer service, but good shipping times
Ordered a portable wireless speaker to be delivered as a present to a friend.
Sent a few questions to their customer service in regards to their products to ask a few details (such as physical dimensions) etc. Can't say the response or the attitude was very helpful - basically go in store and check it out for yourself.
Not having much choice, i headed in store to look at and test the item for myself. As the unit wasnt too large, i decided that it was small enough to send without too many complications, i made the order. There was a small ($5) shipping fee.
Paying via paypal was easy, with an order confirmation email being sent the same day. The day after, I received an email stating that my item had shipped, with my order arriving the day after.
Friend has been happy with the speaker, so hopefully there are no issues or need for warranty.
As long as you don't need to interact with their online customer service, I'd recommend buying from JB.
I've been wanting to get bluetooth speakers for few months now, but I didn't buy one as it is quite expensive.
Thankfully jb hifi had a massive price reduction for the item i've been longing for months!!! \m/
So i bought 2 units, one for me and the other for a friend.
The delivery was fairly quick, but the only thing that's disappointing is that although i purchased 2 of the same item, they charged me twice for delivery :( and pickup was also not available for these items.
Overall, everything else is ok and I'd like to shop again from their site.
I really wish I could give JB Hi-Fi less stars for this review, but to be fair to them, they delivered 7 of the 8 CDs that I ordered without hassle.
The 8th CD though, what a saga.
I ordered 8 CDs online, on the 6th of December, during a 20% off CDs sale as the album that I was especially after, by Awolnation, wasn't available in my local store. 3 of the CDs were listed as being in-stock, while the other 5 said they were awaiting stock. No worries, I wasn't in a hurry.
Over the course of the month, in the lead up to Christmas I received 2 parcels containing some of the CDs. On the 23th of December I logged into JB Hi-Fi to check the status of the other CDs that I ordered, including the Awolnation album that I was very keen to receive. The other albums showed as order complete, so I knew they had been shipped, however the Awolnation album still showed as awaiting stock.
I e-mailed JB Hi-Fi querying the delivery date of the CD and was told that it was on back order with their supplier and that they couldn't tell me when it would be available, but they were kind enough to offer to cancel the order........
I requested that they cancel the order and refund my money which they did promptly, however, they refunded $3 less than I had paid for the album and shipping for that item. So I needed to e-mail again asking them to refund the correct amount. On the 26th I received an e-mail saying they were looking into the refund issue and on the 29th I received a refund for the additional $3 without any further contact explaining the mix up, or apologising for the error.
I consider this to be very poor customer service. Thank goodness the album wasn't a Christmas present as I certainly would have thought that early December would have been early enough to order a CD for Christmas delivery, had I not been forewarned otherwise.
I might shop at JB Hi-Fi online again in future, as I have had positive experiences with them in the past, and they did get 7 of the 8 CDs right with this order, but I will never, ever order another CD that I am very keen to receive from them, I will find another source if that is the case.
I ordered a new ipad air online (which displayed it was in stock) and was told to wait for a "order is ready for pickup" email, but it took longer than expected. I could have walked into the store and purchased one much quicker. I had to call to follow up, and was told it was in stock and is now ready for pick up. You get better service when you shop in store. The online system is a bit disappointing. I have no issues shopping in store but will not place another online order.
I ordered some dvds recently but I can't be certain when the item will arrive because the confirmation email said they will debit the card once the order has been confirmed. Then the fine print says the order will be shipped and packed within 3 days but I have yet to receive the item, or email telling me where I am at in the order process. It is much easier to just buy the items instore.
My brother wanted this item and since there isn't a local JB HI-FI where we live we ordered it online. Shipping was fast, service was good, they kept the item well packaged, have ordered many other items from these guys.
