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.

TERRIBLE - DO NOT BUY FROM THEM

TERRIBLE ! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. Four months of trying to get the integrated door hinges, that they did not include originally. Having been told that they had been dispatched on May 22nd, to the Christchurch store, and through the online chat today that we can collect them in store, we have driven an hour to collect them, to be told they are not there and there are none in the country.

Hi Jane, we’re so sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand your frustration after months of trying to obtain the missing door hinges. The hinges were ordered from our supplier (which takes a couple weeks) are being dispatched from Auckland - hence why you could not collect it. This should have been communicated clearly to you. Our management team will be reviewing this matter. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused!

Placed an order on the 17th May

Placed an order on the 17th May. Have been checking the status of delivery...nothing scheduled. Reach out to CS, they say they'll get it on the go. Nothing happens. Reach out again and promised delivery tbe next day, saturday 6th june. We receive the text to say, on its way will call 10 mins prior. So saturday we cancel all plans, sit around at home... check the status again and its back to not scheduled for delivery. Reach out to CS again...she promises again, it will be on the next service run. What a joke and a waste of a weekend day.
**Update**
After talking to the chat for the last couple of weeks, with promises of delivery. I called and was told there is no stock. So they were happy to take the money when there was stock, and then never let us know. Very disappointing.
Exactly one month since ordering.

We acknowledge the communication and delivery updates provided did not meet expectations. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and our management team want to review this matter. We have requested for more information.

Incomplete solar system, no communication.

Purchased a solar system and 6 months later it is still not complete and they are avoiding communication.
Do not recommend.

Sleeping on the floor without furniture

I bought a significant amount of furniture from Trade Depot on 19 May 2026, and specifically called the head office to ask if they could deliver to my new address, as I was moving across the country and needed furniture there by the correct date for us to move in. I have been sleeping on the floor and with an empty house since that date and I am still waiting for delivery of the bulk of my order. After several phone calls, I was told they escalated my delivery, and I am still waiting. Tonight will be the 5th night that my kids and I are sleeping on the floor due to no furniture delivery as promised. This is just totally unacceptable service.

I wish I had read the Trustpilot reviews…

Weeks with no delivery update. Tickets unanswered. A completely pointless "delivery estimate" that just constantly moves back in time.

I guess I found out why the prices are so good - they obviously have no budget whatsoever for customer service or a decent delivery network.

Buyer beware!

If I could leave no stars I could

If I could leave no stars I could.
Ordered a couch, chair and ottoman on 3rd March for my son and his partner for their first home. They were to be delivered to my address as we had a truck booked to help them move and we were going to take the furniture with us. Ottoman came within a few weeks but then the pain started.
They were moving on April 4th so when it was apparent that neither the couch nor the chair were going to come in time after multiple contacts to Trade Depot I arranged for the furniture to be delivered to their new address. The date for delivery kept getting pushed out.
Contacting them either via phone or chat is painful and slow. Each time reassured that I would have an email confirming date for delivery by the end of the day, never received the email.
Couch was delivered on 22nd April to our address - contacted Trade Depot to come and get the couch to take to my son’s address. I am still waiting for that to happen with no comms to date. I have moved it at further cost myself.
The chair finally arrived 28th May (3 months after the initial order) and you guessed it - to my address despite after the first problem with the couch being reassure multiple times that the delivery address had been updated.
Shocking service, has been so stressful. No apology from Trade Depot, communication with them is appalling. Not worth it!
