appalling service
I purchased a bike rack that does not fit my vehicle.
What is unacceptable is the 10 emails I've sent without a reply, the service is terrible and as a result im sitting on $350 worth of goods which i can't use or return (as they will not reply) I have also phoned which never gets answered. The packaging is unopened and in as received condition and a photo has been sent with numerous emails

I hope you can accept my sincere apology for the delay in responding to your emails and the frustration this has caused. I understand the importance of prompt communication and take full responsibility for falling short in this instance. Rest assured, I have investigated and resolved the root cause of why your emails were not coming through to our Customer Experience Team to ensure this does not happen again in the future.
I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak with you today and to work towards resolving the problem with the bike carrier. You should have received my email confirming that we've booked a courier to return the bike carrier to us, the refund has already been processed, and I've provided some details regarding the replacement bike carrier to consider.
I apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.

Extremely Poor Customer Service
Ordered parts "In Stock" on 19/2/23 they didn't arrive after the 8 days delivery time shown online. After multiple emails with no response Sparesbox finally replied on 2/3/23 to say parts are not in stock and some fluff about software problems on their system. How about you stop taking orders if your software doesn't work? Parts not Due till 15/3/23 at their warehouse. Refund was offered but after requesting a refund once again no response from Sparesbox!

Is the company still trading?
Is the company still trading? their contact phone line is down & chat line doesn't work. I had brake parts delivered over two weeks ago, which proved to be incorrect. Since then have tried to contact. Sent emails with photos - no response. I will no longer be dealing with on line companies as a result YOU NEED TO DEAL FACE TO FACE!

Anyone would have been frustrated with not only receiving brake pads that do not fit your vehicle but also with the delay in response to your emails requesting help resolving that issue. I hope you can accept my most sincere apologies that this has been your experience.
I have responded to your email to us and have acted with an immediate resolution to the issue. Please reply to that email if there is anything else I can do to help.

Customer service is non existant!
Like a previous reviewer, ordered a pair of brake rotors on Feb 15th, it’s now the 2nd March and hasn’t even been dispatched. Sent half the order (brake pads) which is essentially useless without the rotors.
Sent multiple emails and no response, so now awaiting a generic response via email or here (if I'm lucky!) which doesn't address the issue or give any meaningful information or update. Apologies don't constitute customer service!! It's really quite pathetic to be honest.

Poor Customer Service
My order finally arrived on10/03/23 in tact and the exact items :)
I placed my order on the 7/02/23 and I have sent Sparesbox multiple emails with only a generic reply.
My order still has not arrived?
I am disappointed with the customer service.
This is my first time placing an order with Sparesbox .

Slow dispatch, no communication
Ordered a pair of brake rotors on February 19th, it’s now the 28th and hasn’t even been dispatched. Multiple emails and no reply, tried calling and says because of Covid restrictions aren’t taking calls… still hiding under the Covid banner
I should of read the reviews before ordering!!!
I need the parts by March 17th and I’m very worried…

We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the shock you received. Our team takes great care in ensuring that all our products are of the highest quality. Unfortunately, it appears the shock absorber has arrived from the manufacturer in a condition that is not up to our standards.
I can see that a member of our Customer Experience Team is currently working with you and have already taken steps to resolve the issue. Our Customer Experience Team is currently investigating the matter with the manufacturer, and we will exchange the faulty shock absorber.
We understand that this has caused a delay in your ability to repair your car, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Rest assured, our team is working diligently to resolve this for you as quickly as possible.
I had to wait a bit, but I got it
I got the part I wanted after a week or so. Fair enough, I didn't buy the express shipping. It finished the job of restoring a bicycle.

Never Again
My experience with this merchant has been disappointing to say the least.
Communication with them is terrible.
I order an item from them through eBay and pay for express postage.
Next day I get a tracking number that is "unconfirmed " on Australia Post.
The next day it progressed to Ready for Processing. But still hasn't been picked up or given to Australia Post. So far two days for express post and nothing.
Eventually Sparesbox respond after lodging a complaint with eBay telling me it's been sent. But Australia Post tell me otherwise.
They are either incompetent or don't care.
After 3 days it still hasn't progressed. Why pay for Express Post.
All the response from Sparesbox proves is an excuse that isn't supported anymore. Funny how everyone else manages to get their stuff shipped by express post faster than them. Stop using the COVID chestnut to cover for your incompetence.

We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with your Sparesbox order. After reviewing your order, it looks like you placed it on eBay on February 20th at around 7 pm. Our team processed your order on the 21st, and it was shipped out with Express postage on the 22nd.
Unfortunately, Australia Post suspended their overnight delivery guarantee for Express Post. If you check the Australia Post website for domestic parcels, you'll see this is still the case. While it's still the fastest postal service they provide, they do not guarantee overnight delivery.
Of course, we investigated further to see what we could do to expedite your delivery. We've discovered that your parcel was missorted by Australia Post and placed in a universal loading device meant for standard e-parcel shipments. Although this is uncommon, Australia Post has confirmed this as the cause based on additional scans.
The scans do show that your order is on it's way to you. Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience caused by the delay with Australia Post and appreciate your patience and understanding.
