BROKEN

Paid $20 delivery and took forever and when I finally got it opened the box to it broken into little pieces, no care taken to protect it inside only a fragile sticker. Sent an email asking for a refund and 11 days later still nothing. Will never buy from Early Settler again.

We were kept informed the whole time

We were kept informed the whole time. Initial change to expected delivery date was very accurate. A small problem we had with the remote was dealt with promptly and effectively. We love our new electric fireplace. Looks great. Performs well.

The online help person was very helpful…

The online help person was very helpful and assisted me with my order. It was a shame I had to contact them as I wasn't able to request delivery online as part of my shopping cart. It gave me the option to put notes for delivery but not actually request delivery.

So glad to hear you had a smooth experience—and yes, our real team members are often mistaken for AI (we’ll take that as a compliment!). We’ll be sure to share your lovely feedback with Jess, who you spoke to. He’ll be chuffed to hear it!

Absolutely worst shopping experience of my life

Very poor and inconsistent communication regarding huge delays. Once PART of my order finally arrived, (after going missing) parts were again missing (a bed frame), and I sadly received a broken (hallway table) and a badly chipped Clover library unit. I continually try and make contact and this has literally been the worst retail experience of my life after spending over $13,000. I am still waiting for staff to contact me 7 days after my last attempt. My daughter hasn't had a bed for over 2 months. I am so angry and so disappointed. Just gutted!

We’re truly sorry for the delays and the condition your items arrived in—especially given how much you’ve invested. We understand how upsetting this has been, and your frustration is completely valid. We know Alison and the team have been working closely with you to turn this around, and we’ll continue to support you until it’s fully resolved.

Prompt response and refund

Prompt response. No issues with refunding me the difference when the items I purchased price dropped even more, two days after online purchase.
Rhys was quick to reply, friendly and itnwas nice to have the same person responding to my enquiries.
Will purchase again from Early Settler

The customer service Laura gave was top notch! I’m so impressed with Early Settlers. Laura was kind and patient with me, gave me options and worked with me to resolve my dilemma. She sent multiple emails to confirm my correct orders and set my mind at ease. This is the second house we’ve built using products from Early Settlers. Good quality products and superior customer service.

Excellent customer service

We had a tight time frame, but Anisa contacted us ASAP, honoured the sale prices of the items (even though our purchase fell outside of that time) and made the whole process smooth and easy. Excellent communication from the team and great customer service.

So glad Anisa could step in and make everything flow so smoothly—tight timelines can be stressful, but it sounds like she had it all covered! Thanks for the kind words, we’ll be sure to pass them on to the team.
