Easy to find what I wanted online. The range hood and cook top seem OK quality, although not installed yet. I had confidence as I have been pleased with a previous cooktop oder. The tap wasn't very... See more

Trade Depot had the freezer I needed at a great price. The guarantee/warranty is no different than the "high end" brands at a fraction of the price.

Delivery was ok, but didnt receive good communication. Product turned up without me knowing it was coming. Pricing is good.

Bought the 22 panel solar system for…

Bought the 22 panel solar system for thousands and thousands of dollars.
The system is good. The logistics are sub par.
There were a few missing items upon delivery.
Make a call and ask for them to be sent.
Ask about a courier as it will likely be faster. I live very rural and know a courier wont come to the door so we have a PO box that is fine for 99% of companies out there.
Not TD. It wont enter in our computer so we cant....
Are you too inept to sort a label another way?
So we wait for the truck...
3 weeks later it arrives..
We start the installation and find we need some extra parts. About 6 different things and just a handful of each.
Order online. 1 bag ships by courier funnily enough from Christchurch and arrives in 2 days. Not to our door but to a drop off point in town.
The other items, a truck rolls up nearly 2 weeks later, and we have had to put contractors on hold while we wait.
And then guess what. 1 bag of stuff is missing.
The driver just casually says if somethings missing we'll that's all I have as he strolls off, gets in his truck and dissappear as I stand there in disbelief.
I call the helpdesk, and get the "I dont know why that didnt get sent, ill check".
Nah you know what. Just give me a refund as im done.
The fact this is a proprietary system to TD is the only reason I had to order these parts from them
Thankfully I think i can get the clips elsewhere.
The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because the system itself is good, but everything else is poor.

Hey Adrian, thanks for taking the time to share this and for the honest feedback. Scott, our CEO, has reached out to you directly. We're sorry it played out the way it did, and we're glad the system itself is doing the job.

I got suckered in ....

I got suckered in with my first purchase a large top loader washing machine, it was great lasted 4 years when it finally kicked the bucket I blamed the over the top loads the kids had thrown at it. I mean all the other stuff I've brought still works fine?? Everything has broken down or needed to be replaced 2 fridges, 2 washing machines a dryer a microwave, a dishwasher, all just outside that 2 year mark. I'm currently waiting for my current washing machine to be repaired since the end of last month. The amount of money I've spent at the laundromat while I wait I could have brought a second hand machine that will almost definitely out live anything sold at trade depot. Never again.

Product was available

Product was available. I was helped very quickly by a salesperson. While the salesperson was very polite he was very hard to understand. English needs to be better with some of your staff.

Delivery not complete. Poor communication

We have dealt with trade depot before and have had great service but our last purchase was missing an item on delivery. We have contacted them and initally got a response asking us to confirm the photo taken by the courier, however we have not heard anything further despite contacting them again. So disappointing.

Hi Debbie, this is our mistake for not being clearer about what is and isn't included in the vanity combo. Our vanity combos don't come with tapware, and the product page should have stated that. We've since updated it so this doesn't happen again. Robert, who you've been dealing with over email, is sorting a tapware set to be sent out to put things right.

Visited the Hamilton Trade Depot to buy a new fridge/freezer and also enquiring about the solar.
Spoke with Grace who knew what she was talking about for us to understand.
Trade Depot Hamilton has an awesome worker in Grace.
I look forward to my next visit to catch up with Grace again for more info.

Totally unacceptable service

Received two heated towel rails of which both were faulty. One with an electrical fault (diagnosed by certified electrician) and the other is crooked. Whilst I understand sometimes things go wrong and I’ve been unlucky…the fact that they won’t replace or refund until items are received back in their warehouse is ridiculous considering I’ve been waiting 5 weeks for them to be picked up from my porch! Numerous phone calls and messages, promises made that couriers will pick up! I even asked if I can drop them off somewhere…but no. I have a newly renovated tiled bathroom with holes in the wall where one was but has an electrical fault and it blew the power in the house! An emergency sparky cost me $$. Terrible service, still waiting! Trade depot do better this is unacceptable.

Update from 24 July. Now here’s the response from trade depot because it takes a bad review to get some acknowledgment . Surprise, surprise, they are still sitting on my doorstep and it’s now Monday 27th….

From Trade depot: I completely understand your frustration, especially after waiting so long, and I'm truly sorry for the experience you've had.

I can confirm that your collection is scheduled for tomorrow 25/7. I've also coordinated directly with our Dispatch Manager to help ensure this is completed as planned.

I understand that you've heard similar assurances before, but I've escalated this internally to help make sure the collection goes ahead.

Thank you for your patience, and I'll continue to monitor the progress until it's been completed.
