WARNING...STAY AWAY FROM AUSBATTERIES. Basically a scam business. I'm exhausted from the stress the diks running this place caused me with their lies. They will NOT fill your order but will debit you. If they do fil the order it will be with a product you DID NOT ORDER. A shonky dodgy bad product might be supplied, if anything. F you ausbatteries liar. Shifty sleazy liar

6 weeks after placing an order, I got a refund Through paypal. The last email I received from ausbatteries was the order confirmation, then they didn't respond to any of my emails chasing-up my order.

This company is very difficult to deal with. NO contact phone number or address, just a contact form. When I went to the post office to pick up my parcel I found that I had inadvertantly ordered 3 instead of 1 battery. The postie suggested I could return it no charge but that these companies often use distribution companies and that the return address may go back to the distributor. I checked address and this was the case. So I took the batteries home to sort it out either by email or over the phone. I went through the contact form asking if I could return the extra 2? Autoresponder email stated response within 48 hours. Crickets. I then realised that I'd ordered the wrong battery. 5 days later I emailed again and expanded request to return all 3 as they were in fact the wrong battery. Within minutes I got this response from John: 'We do not accept returns or refunds for change of mind or incorrectly ordered items. Your consumer rights do not extend to you either ordering the wrong quantity or ordering the incorrect item or change of mind (obviously).'? Obviously? What sort of business puts ALL the onus on the customer? And given it's online there are bound to be keying mistakes. I now have $204 worth of un-useable batteries, and will never use this company again. And advise that you do the same.

Slow slow slow. You pay and nothing get shipped. A month later still waiting. I’ll buy from china next time. Lazy company. I hope you go broke

Absolutely horrendous service and communication. Queried my order on Thursday that was placed on the prior Monday and hadn't even been processed yet. Was met with hostility and sarcasm. When I didn't back down and asked for further information, my order was promptly cancelled without consultation and I was informed that they don't have to honour my order if they choose not to. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I purchased two lithium ion batteries from this company prior to the delivery of a new light. The order took a week to process and another week to arrive, but this did not matter too much as the light arrived the day after receipt of the batteries. When I attempted to install a battery, I was dismayed that the battery was too long to fit, despite being the correct cell size. A review of the light instructions revealed that the light could only be used with batteries of a certain length. I reached out to the ausbatteries for any potential solution to this problem via their contact page (message only, no phone number listed). Within the hour I received a rather snide response that I should have checked the correct battery size prior to ordering. I responded by explaining that I did not have access to the light instructions prior to making the order, but could they let me know how I could return the batteries for refund. Two days elapsed, so I sent a message requesting they please respond to my query regarding a return and refund. 24 hours later, still no response. A check on their website revealed that while items may be returned they must be unused, they are subject to a 30% restocking fee and the items would need to be posted back via tracked post (this is not a service that they appear to offer to their customers). Taking into account that the restocking fee and postage charges add up to the cost of one battery and the fact that one of the batteries now has scuff marks where the contacts of the light sat, my refund would be zero. While this episode was caused by my rush in ordering batteries to operate a new light, the lack of empathy, the immediate apportionment of blame on the customer and a total lack of response to repeated queries are a warning to any other potential customers of this seller. One star is definitely more than this company deserve.
