Great investment have had for 3 ish years

We have had our kooshions for 3 ish years now and they have been invaluable. They expand a childs play area when flying, stop toys from falling under the seat, and also help my legs and feet swell less when flying. Family have been so grateful to be able to borrow them too!

I recommend this company!!

I have purchased multiple times from Kooshy Kids over the years and have never had a problem. The team are helpful and the products are very high quality. We cannot afford business class travel but with these products it feels like it. I like the communication along the way and the orders have always arrived within the timeframe promised, or faster. Always support small businesses. Louisas advice during covid for travel and visa requirements will always be remembered!!

Got a sky bunk for my little one

Got a sky bunk for my little one. She had the best sleep. Qantas were really good about it and it honestly made everyone seated around me have a better experience also. Couldn’t recommend more highly

Don't trust them!

Similar to many other reports, there was a leak when we received the kooshins. We weren’t able to open the package immediately when it arrived and were therefore only able to inflate the pillows a few days after delivery.

As soon as I was able to open the box and inflate them, several days after delivery, I learned that 2 out of 4 of the pillows wouldn’t stay inflated. I emailed them for an exchange or refund. I then learned that I didn’t meet their 48 hour deadline to report issues. They refused to help me. After MANY back and forth exchanges I was only able to get a refund via credit card charge back.

They post all over their website that there is a "lifetime warranty" but if you read the fine print, it effectively doesnt cover anything that isn't reported within 48 hours of receipt (so it's totally worthless).

After talking to numerous parents since my purchase I have been told that the much cheaper versions on Amazon are equal quality but come with a much better return policy. Just go with those and save the hassle!!

Update based on their response: The warranty info was NOT in the product description (my credit card company agreed!). I also was never offered any sort of extension to the deadline and was not sent multiple emails to warn me about this 48 hour timeline. I was already refunded through my credit card company so I don’t need the complimentary patch but it shouldn’t have required that since I received a faulty product from the start.

Finally this claim that it needs to be tested right away because it’s inflatable would be more credible if the words “lifetime warranty” weren’t plastered all over the website.

Hi Cara,

The warranty info is on the actual product, written in the product description and customers receive two emails within that 48 hours reminding them to register their warranty. This is not fine print.

Due to the nature of the product (inflatable), we need you to test it right away, so that we can be certain that if it punctured after this period we know it wasn't a product fault, but rather misuse. If it's a seam or valve issue, we certainly cover that.

We also say in the warranty register email that you can request an extension if you are unable to test in the 48 hour window.

We can send you a complimentary repair patch kit if this help? Please email directly if you want me to send you the kit. louisa@kooshykids.com.au

First purchase from this company and…

First purchase from this company and would never purchase from them or recommend to anyone. Worst customer experience, ordered and paid for goods and did not receive. Was told it was lost in transit and simply ‘bad luck’ not getting a refund from them and they refused to deal with Australia Post (apparently it was my problem). Deal with this company at your own risk!

Hi there,

We recommend that customers choose transit cover so that if our courier loses it, they will cover it right away. When shopping I always choose insurance as I have had AP lose many parcels and have even had them stolen from my doorstep!

Did you try to make a claim with AP?

Unfortunately once an order leaves us, it's our of our hands, but we will always try to fight for you and try to get Australia Post to provide compensation...once again, they usually only assist when the parcel is insured.

Damaged items

EDIT 06/06/24 - I contacted Louisa straight after her reply and she ignored my emails. Still do not trust the legitimacy of this company.

ORIGINAL POST -
I purchased the little traveller's bundle and received the items stained. They had awful vomit-looking white stains on the cushion that is made for the babies to lay on.
Unfortunately, the items were delivered to my sisters work on Friday and she wasnt back in until the following week, then once I received the items it was already 5 days later which is past their accepted terms to advise of an issue. Due to this we were not given a replacement, rather a $40 credit (which we never received) to buy more things at their store. Half the items are items from Ali-Baba so I don't really want to purchase extra items there.
They also had an offer of a free gift with a purchase over $175, my items cost nearly $200 and when we put the free gift into the cart it was charged, for this reason we removed it cause once again I don't really want to pay $50 for a $5 Ali-baba item.

After numerous emails they were not helpful. I now have some gross stained items that I nearly paid $200 for that I would never want to use.

I would never recommend this company to a friend.
The terms of 48 hours to test an item is appaling especially for busy parents with newborns.

Hey Innes,

You can request an extension on the 48 hours because we understand that mum life is chaotic. Would you like me to look into your credit note? If you were entitled to a. free gift and didn't get it, I have some great gifts left over from our recent sale and am happy to send this to you. Please email me directly; louisa@kooshykids.com.au . I hope that we can come up with a resolution. I have only just released that Trust Pilot had reviews hence the delay in my response.

A clear manufacturing error in the Kooshin. But refused to fix under 'lifetime warranty; because it was not reported within 48 hours of receiving it.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry for the delay in responding here.

I completely understand your frustration, and I’d like to clarify the details of our lifetime warranty. The reason we ask customers to test and report any issues within 48 hours of receiving the product is so we can quickly identify any manufacturing defects. This helps ensure that the issue wasn’t caused by accidental damage after the product was received.

After the 48-hour window, our warranty still applies, but covers specific components like seams and valves. This process is outlined on our website, in your confirmation email, delivery email, and on a sticker attached to the product itself to avoid any confusion.

Don't buy this if you live far away…

Don't buy this if you live far away (overseas). Their packaging is ridiculous, just a thin plastic bag. After arrival and inflating, there's obviously a leak of air. The support cannot and will not help you. Waste of money and time. If there is a legal way to use it on the plane, I will never know.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m sorry it’s taken us a while to respond here.

We use biodegradable satchels for our packaging, which are both durable and environmentally friendly. We’ve had no prior feedback suggesting they’re insufficient, so I’m sorry if this caused any concerns for you.

If there was a leak in the product, we encourage customers to test and report any issues as part of our warranty process so we can help resolve them quickly. Without a claim being completed, it’s difficult for us to assist further, as we want to ensure every product we send out is in perfect condition.

For those unsure about using the product on flights, our inflatables are accepted on 100+ airlines globally, and we provide clear guidance and an Accepted Airlines List on our website to help families travel comfortably.
