Verdict
Overall, consumer sentiment is strongly positive, driven largely by exceptional online customer service and efficient warranty resolution. While isolated issues regarding transit damage, missing items, and friction with in-store return policies are noted, the support team's prompt and accommodating approach effectively mitigates these concerns. Customers generally express high confidence in shopping with the retailer, particularly due to reliable after-sales care.
Lots of great things and accessories for the kitchen. Great dealing with customer service over the phone and email if there's a problem with any product. Kenneth was a great help at customer service team via email. Went above and beyond to solve my problem.
I had a problem with my purchase - my new air fryer had stopped working and Kenneth arranged a new replacement on the same day I made contact - really easy interaction - thanks Kenneth and team Show details
Thank you for the exceptional service provided by Kenneth S in resolving an issue with my pan. After I sent the faulty item back, a replacement was quickly arranged with the warehouse to be shipped out to me. The entire process was seamless, and I truly appreciate the quick response and easy resolution. I would 100% recommend buying from House!

I Purchased several Bessemer fry pans recently. The 32cm pan warped slightly which on a glass induction top meant I was constantly chasing the handle. (annoying) I contacted the team at House with a video showing the issue and was promptly sent a replacement. I am very happy with the quality of the product and the back up service. A big thank you to Mark for his help. Show details
Bought the Baccarat GREEN STONE Ultimate Pan 32cm and after the second use and never using abrasive utensils the coating started coming off. I contacted House online chat and Eric solved my problem in minutes and sent out a replacement. I wish all customer service experiences were this straight forward. Thanks Eric, fingers crossed its not an ongoing problem with this stone coating. i've already eaten more than I wanted to. Show details
Robert organised a warranty replacement for our faulty ice maker. The interaction was professional and fast. Thanks for the positive engagement.
My granite set was purchased in 2017 and unfortunately hap worn on the rim, I approached the shellharbour square store and they could not help me without my docket, they recommend contacting Head office. Maryda reached out to me, as I had purchased multiple items she was able to help me. I love my Granite Baccarat saucepans , frypan's and extra large pots. I would recommend them to anyone.
Don't care about warranties – Still wanting for an answer for a faulty product they ask for the product I sent it and after 2 weeks I don't have any response or notification they just took it.
Had placed an online order in July. All items arrived and were great until my Baccarat Le Connoisseur oil bottle started to leak, daily, even when not in use. I contacted customer service online today and Razelle helped me and will be sending out a replacement bottle shortly. I'm so glad for this type of customer service in this day and age. Show details
I ordered a chopping board that was delivered faulty. After contacting House via email,Sheen replied informing me that a replacement was being organised and should be delivered within 1-3 business days. I was so grateful that a replacement was being sent without having to first go through the hassle of returning the original product. I am highly satisfied with their customer service and faulty product policy.
Good afternoon, my online order came back damaged and with one glass broken. Beautiful lady at online customer service kindly and efficiently organised replacement for both in no time. Grateful. Great customer service and great products.

I ordered multiple Baccarat Iconix items from House during their fantastic EOFY sale and one of them arrived damaged. ROBERT from customer service was amazing at arranging for a prompt replacement. Very happy with their prices and customer care.
I ordered the Baccarat GRANITE 6 Piece Cookware set, Alex Liddy Aquis Coupe 12 Piece Dinnerware set, Alex Liddy Aquis 40 Piece Cutlery set and various Scullery and Soffrito Utensils. x1 Large Dinner Plate + x1 Bowl arrived Broken in half from delivery unfortunately. But luckily for me I spoke with a Lady named Maryda who has kindly requested for a replacement of both broken items which has been sincerely appreciated. Show details
Today Robert helped me as I received my order and I had a broken plate and a chip in a bowl. He was extremely helpful. Show details
I'm giving five stars because I love House's range and quality of products. Unfortunately, a recent order was delivered smashed (obviously not House's mistake, but Australia Post's handling I would say). I contact House and replacement item was sent. The same thing happened! So I contacted House again and am receiving a full refund. I would like to thank Mark for his assistance in this matter.
My husband is pleased and the children are happy to have their favourite water bottle back in use. Van, thank you for your online support and assistance regarding the replacement caps for the water bottle.
I ordered two Alex Liddy Dinner sets as a new replacement to previous owned, which had express shipping and a great sale discount by House through their online Ebay storefront. I received them amazingly packed and in unpacking both found one side plate to have a large chip from the porcelen edge- given it was located middle of the package section… Read more
of these plates it was likely during manufacturing to packing and not caused by House or postage. I contacted House through the Ebay record of my purchase and within a couple hours I had a very lovely reply from Maryda who without further question understood the issue and had arranged with their warehouse to not only organise a replacement but had so proactively also processed and shipped it at the same time ensuring a very quick and amazing resolution to the damaged item! Thank you to Maryda, and House's internal policies that enable such wonderful and forward thinking customer service and personal interaction; and which in this day and age is extremely rare and refreshingly appreciated and not unnoticed! Thank you Maryda! :)

h2 hydro2 stainless steel travel cups from House stores – I bought 3 travel cups the past year, h2 hydro 2 brand from local House store. They keep liquids hot for hours and I love them, especially for work and in cold weather. However, the plastic tops wear away at the side from overuse, crack and break… Read more
when dropped. The cup is stainless steel and indestructible. I went back to the store where I bought it and showed them the fault. They told me they do not come with a warranty unfortunately, and they don't have replacement tops to purchase, which I would be happy to do. I went online and reported fault and was provided with a $20 gift voucher to replace cup, as a goodwill gesture. I did not have a receipt of purchase as I must've paid cash. I was satisfied with the prompt action and goodwill gesture. The company, HOUSE; should sell replacement tops methinks...
Follow-up · I notice the company changed its lids and I bought one. Easier to clean, a bonus and fits my old cups. Great job! Happy to recommend and love the improvement. Its only been about 2 months but so far so good!
Bought a couple of Greenstone items and unfortunately one was slightly faulty. I contacted claims and Maryda was straight into it. She sent me some steps I had to take to make a claim, had it assessed and she arranged for a replacement item to be… Read more
sent. Done and dusted very quickly. I rarely make claims and was hesitant about this one but glad I did. Whole process was easy to navigate. Good result. Thanks Maryda.
Follow-up · Edit to answer a few questions - the fault was the inside part of the handle was ever so slightly loose. There was a teeny little wiggle, but I was concerned moister might get in under it. I contacted them via email and the lady sorted it on the spot and arranged a replacement be sent. I didn’t have to return the original one. The replacement was… Read more
Razelle was AMAZING. I received my order and one item was broken. Less than 5 minutes and it was all sorted. A new item on its way. Fantastic service and super easy process. Thanks heaps Razelle Show details
Follow-up · One canister was broken - the one labeled “coffee” The replacement was identical. It was very carefully wrapped in bubble wrap, paper and a sturdy box. AGAIN a shout out to Razelle, I received the replacement canister 2 days after dealing with Razelle. GREAT SERVICE and very happy, my canisters look great

Genuinely kind of shocked at how easy my warranty claim was! I ordered a 12-piece set of stainless steel pots and pans on 13/09. The set arrived by standard post today (16/09), which was super fast. Everything came suitably packaged and in good shape. When unpacking the set, I discovered that one of the saucepans had a couple of small defects in… Read more
the rim. I took some photos and went to the House website to ask what the process would be and what the options were for remedy.
I was initially concerned that the live chat would be a useless AI thing. Instead, it simply asked for my contact details and issue, then connected me with an actual person in about 30 seconds. A representative named Razelle confirmed the specifics of the issue, my order number, and my address; and requested a couple photos showing the defects.
Then it was just… done? Razelle lodged the request, it seemed to be approved and they told me I’d get an email with tracking information for a replacement piece.
I was very concerned that I’d need to fight them over the issue, but instead it was exceptionally easy throughout the whole process. Admittedly, I did contact them immediately, but their response was still one of the best customer service interactions I’ve had in a long time. There was genuinely nothing that could have been improved from my perspective.
Now, all that said. We’ll need to see how the replacement comes, but I’m cautiously optimistic there won’t be any issues from here. Certainly, I’ll update this with what happens next.
Separately, I’ve always had a positive experience in-store as well. Their staff have generally been friendly and helpful, and the one time I needed to return something in-store was also easy.
had a really positive experience with House customer service, particularly with Razelle, who assisted me with a warranty concern regarding my Baccarat cookware. She was friendly, helpful and responsive throughout the process, and made everything easy to sort out. I really appreciated that they took the time to review my concern and ultimately… Read more
offered a replacement as a gesture of goodwill. It was great customer service and I’m very happy with how everything was handled. Thank you so much, Razelle, for your help!
I couldn't figure out how to replace a valve of my Baccarat slow cooker. Kenneth sought information from spare parts dept and sent clear step by step instructions on replacing the valve. Easy to follow easy to fix Show details

I will never purchase from House ever again. I bought an item and when I got home realised that the item was not durable enough for my needs. The item was not opened or used in any way. I returned the very next day with receipt and was refused a refund and only given a credit note. I don’t see why a refund can’t be given. I attended the Warwick store and was served by Mary. She is definitely not a good representative for customer service. Show details
Overall a reasonable shopping experience however my concerns with a purchase of a cocktail shaker were not great. I purchased the 3 piece Barcraft set found here https://www.house.com.au/products/barcraft-3-piece-cocktail-set-500ml This shows a… Read more
silver stainless shaker in all the pictures . I read after delivery hidden in the details that it is black and brass, but every image shows silver (picture 1)
I asked about this on chat and was given the following response by [Name Removed] (I am only mentioning her name as it was requested at the end of chat) "We have made every effort to display the colors of our products that appear on our Site as accurately as possible. However, as computer monitors vary, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any color will be completely accurate."
"If you have a moment, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your experience by leaving a review on productreview.com.au, specifically mentioning my name, [Name Removed]."
As you can see in the second picture not only is the design different but the colour cannot be misrepresented in a monitor.
I can live with the wrong shaker, however being treated like an idiot by customer service was one step too far.
I found limited flexibility from House in solving this and will reconsider using them in the future
Follow-up · Zero resolution from house except a token credit. I will never shop there again and would probably go out of my way to dissuade people from shopping there.

“company was no longer operating” - despite standing in a Salt an Pepper store and selling merchandise.
