Internet shopping in Australia

[sns]

Hi

I am a big fan of Internet shopping in the UK. I can't imagine having to go to the supermarket for a big shop anymore! Although I go for veggies, milk and to top up. I shop for nearly everything else online, apart from kids shoes.

What is it like in Australia?

What can you not get online there that you wish you could?

Thanks!

You can get anything online, including groceries, we live in a global community.

i can't think of anything we can't get online. My OH is busy buying himself obscure classic motorbike parts for his 1980's American Motocross bike right at this minute. :laugh:

Great, thanks for your replies, I thought that I read a few people's comments about things that couldn't be bought online, glad it's not the case

Wow thanks Peach!

I'm sure my OH supported an entire transport company buying motorbike parts online. But he did wake up surprised one morning to find he'd bought an entire bike from the US. Moral of the story: don't drink while buying online. :wink:

:laugh: He pays with everything with my PayPal account as he's never bothered setting up his own. He's away at the minute and only allowed 4 mid strength stubbies a night so I'm not too worried however the mind boggles at some of the stuff. :laugh:

 

OP for clothes try http://www.nextdirect.com.au and http://www.iconic.com.au

Thanks Peach, that's very useful.

 

Quick question... I'd get most of my white goods, furnishings and electrical goods from John Lewis, and most other things from Amazon (like my gadgets and computer bits). Are there equivalents in Australia for quality of service and price?

Thanks Que Sera. So given my experience over the years of UK retailers, especially around quality of service and value for money, putting Dixons/Curry's/PC World (and the former Commet) right at the bottom, the likes of Argos and Tesco Direct in the middle, and John Lewis at the top, which Aus companies would be classed as the Dixons, and which would be the JL? How do Harvey Norman compare, and what about JB HiFi or Myers?

 

[For completeness, my experiences of Dixons/Curry's has been staff who lie about consumer rights, trying to sell extended warranties and refusing to exchange faulty goods, compared to JL who will replace items over two years old and provide a 5 year warranty for free on items such as TVs]
