Coles Reviews 

The croissants taste like baby milk powder🤢

Tried to buy a loaf of bread and asked it to be sliced. Was shown a self service bread slicer. No hygienic items - hand cleaner, no instructions and all round stupid idea some moron probably got an award of the week. - Dangerous, unhygienic and all-round dumb and dangerous idea!

100% useless

As they never have the products I need on the shelves, I checked online ordering. The site gave such items in stock at my local Coles. I put the 3 items I needed in the cart, but there was a minimum spend amount ($50) to reach for the Click & Collect option. So I added 2 other items (none that I specifically needed or wanted, but just enough to get over the threshold). 1 hour before collection time, I got an email stating that the 3 items I needed were out of stock. When I got to the store to pick up, I explained that the only 2 items they had available were actually superfluous and I asked if I could leave them there and get a full refund of my order. The staff said I couldn't and I had to call customer service to solve the issue. Needless to say that I'll be converting all my Flybuys points to $ off the shop so I'm never going to give any more money to Coles and, once they are all used up, I'll never step into a Coles ever again.

We used to support Coles every year after year to purchase groceries and they were delivered to the property of where we are staying Really good service BUT!! Why has this come to an end no communication and they DONT Care the on line shopping cant be done all because we dont have a Australia phone number !!!! What does it matter Phone numbers can be used from any country to any country Are used for the security of the transaction Dont get it Oh well we will now shop at Woolworths and use our everyday rewards Cheers Coles

Once again Coles Port Lincoln is the only place to buy one of my favourites..Coles has Heinz mixed veg..peas carrots beans and corn kernels in stock..Awesome

Useless incompetent excuse making idiots!
They take your money but the delivery doesn't arrive then you have to argue with them to get a refund which takes days. Stupid multi million dollar company can't even get a delivery right because they outsource to another useless delivery company doordash

I went to Coles 2 days in a row to purchase their Coke in Bottles, on special for $2 each. Staff noted none on shelf, thus returned next day,again,none. Followed up with Customer service(after staff on the floor said there were none) who managed to find some in the store room.
2 days later was back in Coles and shelves were full of Coke but now the price was $2.90. Interesting???🤔

GET MORE STOCK IN OF YOUR ITEMS ESPECIALLY CHILLED PET FOOD! JUST ALL ROUND PATHETIC USELESS UNPROFESSIONAL SERVICE AND RIP OFF COLES😠

For the last time will I purchase Chicken Thigh Fillets from Coles. The use by date is incorrect, with 3-4 days left before the use by date the chicken smells off and has definitely already expired.

This has happened a few times now. I won’t bother to tick the box to let Coles know about my review as they couldn’t care less.

Disappointing Customer Service – Beware the Coles Pea Protein
I bought Coles-brand pea protein from this store through the self-serve checkout. After trying it, I felt nauseous and tried to return the two unopened bags. Since I selected “no receipt” at the checkout (to avoid wasting paper), staff refused to help.

The girl at the counter was dismissive and unhelpful, insisting I needed a receipt. After a frustrating back-and-forth, I gave up and left the items on the counter.
Apparently, if you don’t print a receipt, you’re out of luck—even for Coles-branded products. Poor customer service. Also, the pea protein was bad on my stomach—definitely not for everyone.

Coles machine auto charged me double the price. No weighing of items no detection beyond a human reading the screen. I can't imagine how many other people the machine must have ripped off before me. I complained to the manager who then told me that machines don't weigh. So anyone could literally put products in the checkout section and go undetected.

Having my food thrown into the bag by a Coles cashier was disgusting. I phoned Coles Shopping Centre and no one answered the phone. I'm not going back.

I am writing to express my absolute frustration and disgust at the appalling service I received from your store. This experience has not only cost me time and money but has also demonstrated a shocking level of incompetence and disregard for your customers.
1.I placed an order expecting to receive the items I paid for. Instead, several products were missing, yet I was still charged for them. This is outright theft—taking my money without delivering the goods. Whether intentional or due to carelessness, the result is the same: I have paid for something I did not receive.
2.On top of that, my entitled 10% discount was not applied. This is either an unacceptable technical failure or a deliberate act to overcharge customers. Either way, it is inexcusable.
3.When I called to rectify this situation, I was informed that no manager was available to assist me. Instead of addressing the issue immediately, I was told I would have to wait 24 hours—as if waiting an entire day for a resolution to a food order issue is reasonable. Coles had no problem taking my money instantly, yet when it comes to fixing mistakes, I’m expected to wait?
4.To make matters worse, when I attempted to get this resolved over the phone, a staff member hung up on me. This level of rudeness and lack of accountability is absolutely disgraceful.
Coles has already been running riot with price gouging, shamelessly inflating the cost of essential goods while Australians struggle with the cost of living. Despite making billions in profit, your company continues to squeeze every last cent from customers while offering subpar service, inadequate issue resolution, and outright theft by charging for undelivered items. It is beyond disgraceful that a corporation of your size, with endless resources, cannot even provide a basic resolution when you take money without delivering goods. Instead, customers are met with delays, excuses, and shocking rudeness from staff. How dare Coles exploit people at every turn and then refuse to take responsibility when caught out?

Bay plaza Yeppoon the express checkout is closed at the wrong time I visited to day and it was busy but had express checkout not open

Hello people I am here to let you all know of my experience with Coles but before I start just to let you know I am deaf as in hearing impaired my disappointment comes from the fact and after the fact that is what it is when it comes to buying eggs stacked up on four or five shelves one shelf has price tags the next one doesn't third one has price tags the next one doesn't and I have told them many times to put price tags on all their shelves or else I will assume that it is for free and take it in front of you so it won't be theft because I have told you and it is documented that I have advised you of the matter both stores in Coburg 14/4/25 furthermore as a member of this community I do not understand how they could treat the regular customers with such stupidity when you speak with the workers they act oblivorant like they don't know what's going on speak to the manager they say we try did but if you in Coles or any other place your part of the the one hole which is the whole team so don't sugarcoat it I know it's a sales gimmick you just got your brains handed to you snake eyes

The shop is open Saturdays and Sundays from 9AM till 19 hours. But on the website they say weekend closed. It looks like they don't care about their business. Because they need to update their website infor of trading hours.

I received an offer from Flybuys to be rewarded with a large amount of bonus points if I downloaded the Coles app and shopped online. I met all of the criteria, yet the points failed to be be credited to my account. 14 days elapsed and I raised an enquiry with the Customer Contact Centre, 8 business days later and other than it’s been escalated , No update. When a customer legitimately follows the set criteria of a promotion and Flybuys fails to allocate the points it is disgraceful. We’re not talking a few we’re taking thousands. Shame on you FlyBuys and Coles for letting this happen. Woolworths and Aldi you have my custom moving forward.

In past 6 months the quality of packaged bread that has been kept frozen for shipment to store, then thawed and sold has really declined. These days it barely lasts a day, even tho the tag has a good expiry date, next day the bottom portion of all slices in the loaf is dried out and smells off, while the top portion of slices is bit fresher. Mainly affects Coles brand, but also some brand names. Although usually the brand names can survive 2 days before this happens. This is only a recent thing I've noticed, past few months. So I'm just wondering what procedures Coles has changed regarding the freezing of it's packaged bread. I've now switched to getting bread at Bakers Delight

It's more like a scam to be a financial credit card. I don't know how they could obtain the licenses and certificates, obviously by power of money! AFCA should seriously investigate their actions. Customer service is always misleading. They try to charge you for interest rate and more. They don't even care about losing customers. Their portal is not user-friendly, either.
