This Apple experience went Pear shaped! The device they sold me was a Lemon, and the staff member was an absolute Coconut! Use your Melons and Fig-ure it out, or I be Raisin the roof on you Pineapples! read more

Heartless and IncompetentIf I could give 0/5 I would. The worst mobile phone provider in the…read moreAustralian market. Daughter's old phone was not working so she was advised to go back to the store for an insurance claim. Salesperson upsold her a new phone and then upsold her a tablet as well, promising her $500 credit for her old phone as a trade in as part of a deal on at the moment. She was told that she would be emailed a code which she needed to use to send in her old phone as a trade in. The code never came. She went back to the store many times and was told by the sales associate that he would organise a code for her. It never came. In the meantime, the deal expired and she received an invoice for the full amount without credit for her phone trade-in. She went back to the store and they promised her that she would be credited this amount and that they would fix it. Fast forward a few months and MANY MANY VISITS TO THE STORE - her phone number which she used for two factor authentication was deactivated and sold to the debt collection agency. The store was still telling her that they would fix it! That she would not be charged. Then the hundreds of phone calls to the rudest call centre operatives globally who demanded that she pay $4000 because it was her fault. In the meantime, she has lost her job because she could not access the work apps or her roster, all tied to her phone number. Her mental health has deteriorated from the stress of trying to sort out the mess. She is being hounded by debt collectors. No joy from Vodafone who basically want the full amount and WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE STORY. They apparently could not do anything and kept directing us back to the store who then told us that they could not do anything and directed us back to the call centre. The call centre operators kept telling us the the account had nothing to do with them, that they couldn't action anything and that bad luck if my daughter's mental health or financial situation was bad - nothing to do with them. They talked over us constantly, accused us of lying, badgered us to get a lawyer if we felt so badly done by, and said so what about the fact that my daughter's life was in tatters. The only joy came from the debt collection agency who at the least were Australian and had much better phone skills and tried to negotiate with Vodafone on our behalf. Vodafone's answer to the debt collection agency was that we had not contacted them and that they really didn't understand what the issue was so ... could we phone so that they could get a clearer picture of the issue? This debacle has gone on from February to September WITH NO RESOLUTION. The rudest call centre people that I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. The worst processes - no, this team does not interact with that team we were told many times. The store was useless even though they admitted that they had stuffed up ... well, bad luck. We provided you with misleading information but sorry - you have to pay. Having been with other companies (and yes, they have made mistakes but they have always offered some compensation or a discount for inconvenience caused) I cannot believe that hard heartedness, the rudeness, the incompetence of everyone involved. Years ago, I considered moving to Vodafone because they were cheaper especially with roaming but don't get sucked in by the cheap deals - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Sticking with Optus who, while not perfect, have always apologised and offered some form of compensation when things have not gone right. GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING AND RECORD ALL CONVERSATIONS WITH VODAFONE BECAUSE THEY LIE.

For this reason I would recommend that any purchasers go elsewhere as I don;t believe that a store unable to provide support after the sale is deserving of sales in the first place. I confirmed that if i was looking to buy a phone they'd spend the 'alleged' 15 minutes to log a repair on completing the sale but won't spend that time for me, a customer since the galaxy s2 to purchase a new screen and log my phone for repair at their service centre. How is a team of four not all trained in providing customer service as well as just sales? Why can only two staff help existing customers (Anthony who identified himself as the manager didn't seem to include himself as one who could help either). Why have staff that can't do more then just sell if Chermside is "the busiest store in Queensland" and likely to get backed up in support requests? When i worked in retail you can be damn sure all staff were expected to provide service to customers after the sale. I also find the objection "we only have two laptops" ironic from a company selling "Pro" tablets as laptop replacements, but can't make sure all their staff has access to device capable of ensuring service of customers requests. Apparently the Samsung tablets used in store are unable to be used to 'log basic information' such as my name, phone number, IMEI and a few pics of the phones condition when logging it for repair. Unfortunately I'm also mobile shopping as an option rather then repair and Samsung's poor performance in customer service after sales, while being perfectly capable of selling a new phone, make other options look very appealing.

The Elizabeth arcade has a strange layout to it. It starts at the top with the boutique fashion stores, ends with a bunch of Asian resturants and right in the middle are a few really random shops like i-MAD. With barely enough room to swing a cat in this store, it has a suprising range and amount of i-phone, i-pod, and i-pad parafenailia lining its walls. I am an android person myself but I will often tease my yuppie doctor sister for buying into the i-phone phenomena. This store really is for all those people that will attempt to make their generic i-device personal by attaching a case to it. Ok ok , so I might be showing my anti-mac bias here quite a bit. Nonetheless, this store does actually have a rather nice range of accessories for your i-device. Cases range from simple colours to elaborate and shiny designs. Worth a look if you are in need of a new one.

Nor only that, but they have a nice selection of phone accessories and electronics at crazy prices; I was in there the other day and they were selling iPads for as cheap as chips! Every type of iPhone case you could every imagine is sold here; from the corporate leather wallet types to the bunny ears with fluffy "tail" types. They have cases made of wood, plastic, metal. Pretty much, there is a case in here to suit anyone's personality. Apart from cases, there are accessories on offer too; chargers, headphones, speakers etc. There is also a selection of outright phones for sale and they also have a phone repair service. Mobile Made Simple, is here to help you with most of your mobile phones needs. It is definitely a store I would recommend for anyone looking for mobile phone cases and/or accessories.

So, with a feeling of embarrassment at having signed up to a 'Lease' for the Note 9 back in September 2017, this week I was unfortunate enough to have a screen crack occur. I figure, no biggie, I will go in store and find out what the damage in $$$ is for either a repair, or to cover the 'fair market value' of the phone if I were to upgrade to a new phone. I get assigned a place in queue and when an associate finally comes to where I am sitting, I explain the situation and the current condition of the phone. During this the sales associate just stands above me while I'm awkwardly sitting at the table I was waiting at and only answers the bare minimum of what he thinks I am asking. I went there to explore my options which ranged from pay the repair costs and conclude my business with Optus in a few months, through to seeing what the upgrade costs would be to re-contract and how a cracked lease phone would be addressed in billing. Optus text chat couldn't help with this which is why I went in store, however in store they are also unable to assess if a phone has a cracked screen and require it sent away for repairs to be quoted 'Between $290 and $495' for repairs. No idea why text chat couldn't of told me this. A flagship store doesn't have a tech to assess repairs before sending them? Sales Associates aren't taught that one crack in the screen is that same as a dozen as the whole screen gets replaced either way? The Associate I dealt with thought that because there were 'so many cracks' the repair would be closer to $495' which demonstrates a lack of training as a screen replacement with Samsung is $280. He did not look at my account, did not engage me with my problem to offer solution I wasn't myself proposing, and made no attempt to provide any real service, I suspect he tuned out once he realised I was possibly going to be a hassle by lodging a repair request. But what really disappoints me is that I went in to look for a solution, willing to spend more money with Optus and I couldn't even upgrade as if I did, I would be obligated to accept the 'repair quote' for my device before the quote would be given since it cannot be done in store. I remember taking home the Nokia 3315 from the store when I first got to pick a new phone. And the N-gage. Hell, I even worked at the Chermisde Optus years ago and the level of service I received would of gotten me in a whole lot of trouble if a manager saw that interaction or had any idea a new contracted service was at stake. Fair warning, the lease options are predatory and I should of known better. They offer $240 discount in exchange for your $1500 phone over 24 months. Not sure what I was thinking when I agreed to it. The store is nicer then it used to be, but the service somehow has just degraded, or maybe I'm just unlucky. Either way, with the way the plans are priced you're better off buying a phone outright and jumping on the more competitive telco's offering 40Gb of data for $40 a month rather then $100+ a month at Optus if they 'subsidise a phone" at $60 extra a week over sim only plans, catching you for $1440 extra Bad deals, and bad service.

The first place I brought it to said it would cost $230, which was a lot more than I was willing to pay. I found MPS after a Google search, and they were extremely polite and helpful on the phone. Not only that, but they were only asking $149 for the repair! We brought it in, they were just as nice in person as on the phone; and although they normally do screen repairs within an hour or so, we had arrived at the shop very late in the day, so we had to come back the following morning. We picked it up the next day, and it was as good as new - I'm typing this review on it right now! I strongly recommend MPS for anyone, but particularly for those who have quite a high-end phone and have despaired of having it repaired for a reasonable price - I was going to sell my Z1 on ebay for parts!

The 2nd time the same thing happened with the screen but not only did I pay full price, the store attendant misplaced my sim card in another customers phone and gave it back to them causing me to have to wait for half an hour while they scrambled to find whos phone my sim card was in, and of course that customer had already left so I had to come back the next day just to retrieve my sim card that they lost. The last time I came in I was just a few days within the warranty. After I got back to the store to pick my phone up later that afternoon I was then informed that my Digitizer was dented thus why my screen was going white and blurry, and was made to pay full price. It would have been very nice to know that my digitizer was dented the first time instead of neglecting information to get more money out of your customers.
