Bonds socks used to be great however the ones I've purchased recently have gone out of shape quickly in the foot and are now baggy and too big for me.

Poor quality and service

I had an unpleasant experience with the Bonds Hornsby store the other day. I tried to return some socks which had never been worn andI had the tags and the receipt and they would not accept them. I explained we were going on a big trip away and I had driven 20mins to return them as my husband was very dissatisfied with the product - the socks are very thin and not good quality like the last pair he got for work. The quality has gone down hill. The young ladies behind the counter (one who was the manager), was not interested in helping us or finding a solution. We didn't want a store credit either as I have lost faith in Bonds and their products and pricing so won't be shopping from them again. Very disappointing and a waste of time.

Order falsely declared delivered, Bonds refuses to refund me

I placed an order that was supposed to be delivered within 3 days. On delivery day, I receive an email from Australia Post (while I'm at home!) saying that the parcel has been delivered. I immediately go downstairs to check around the mail boxes but I can't find it. I spent 1 hour chatting with Australia Post and Bonds but they're both unhelpful.

Australia Post says they left the parcel with the concierge/mail room in a building without such services and that they cannot assist me further.

Bonds says that I have to wait 5-10 more days to hear from their investigation. When I said that it's unreasonable to ask me to wait 10 days for a product that was supposed to be delivered within 3 days and asked to receive an immediate refund, they refused and closed the chat.

I was scammed by this website and itw delivery partner abd wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Bonds Chafe Off shorts are bloody good

BONDS CHAFE OFF women’s shorts are the best thing ever invented. They’re durable, after 2 months so far there’s no pilling on the fabric. I wear them under dresses in the moist Australian summer and the shorts themselves don’t stick to the fabric of any dresses I’ve worn so the skirt isn’t riding up and sticking as I walk (as I have experienced with other branded chafing shorts). A jolly good, chafe free time. I got my partner the men’s chafe off and he swears by them too. I got these for $12 from Big W on sale and also from Bonds for $14 on sale :)

Consumers beware..!

Consumers beware..!! Don’t think u can get anything at a discounted price here…if u don’t pay the full price u CANNOT exchange it..!! Better off going to a store that is interested in accomodating the consumer than bonds online that is only interested in ripping u off!!

Comfortable socks

Fairly easy to order on the site. Make sure you are careful of the sizing you’re getting and if it is ladies or men’s. I only buy the socks but they last for ages, wash well and really comfortable.

Necks stretch after one wash.

Once they were made in Australia quality T shirts. Now made in China crap with necks that stretch out after one wash even if you use the washing bag. I don't understand their business model.

Don’t do it… An iconic company that has gone to the dogs

Don’t do it… An iconic company that has gone to sh##. Brought a pair of men’s underwear for my partner while on holiday. Didn’t even last one day without the stitching coming undone… (I mean he is big but not at the waste band/actual pants material area). They wanted me to travel 1,438.5 km one way to return them. Unable to go to another store to return them or post them to get a refund.
Really disappointed.
F### you Bonds🖕🏻

I am so disappointed in the decline in the quality of Bonds tracksuit pants. The material is super thin, resulting in them starting to fall apart at the seams in just a few washes. I've worn these trackpants for many years, but the last three pairs have lasted less than 3 months.

Disappointed

My husband and I took our 20 month old daughter to the store in Harbour town Adelaide to buy clothes and my husband and my daughter were treated as theft. The ladies working that day were so rude. Lousy customer service, worst experience. Disappointed!!!

I used to swear by bonds trackies.

I used to swear by bonds trackies.
But they clearly have gone for a cheaper quality manufacturer.
And it shows.
The lint that comes off them leaving lint all over my house, the fit of them are not the same, the small details on the cord, stitching and pockets are shocking and poorly made.

For what used to be a pricey yet quality clothing item, they have really dropped the ball on quality. Such a shame, as i will be shopping elsewhere from now on.

REFUNDED ITEM YET IT WAS STILL AVAILABLE ONLINE

It’s so disappointing to purchase something in the 40% off sale only to have half the order refunded to then go back online to see the size you ordered STILL AVAILABLE for others to purchase!? 24hrs later it’s still AVAILABLE so they can’t blame it on inventory numbers. No I don’t want to keep half a tracksuit set this is just wasting your time and my time by having to return the other item for a refund .

Bonds Men's Underpants wrong sizing.

We purchased two styles of men's underpants both sized Large. One style was correct fit (same as all past purchases) the other style was more than 2 inches less in the waist. So we feel that Bonds sizing is not to be trusted. Another problem was that Bonds has refused to exchange or refund as the product is not considered faulty.

Customer service is very unwilling to help

Customer service is extremely unhelpful. I was gifted an ultimate gift card for mum and baby that can be used at multiple stores including bonds. I tried to make an online purchase with this card and it didn't recognise the card. I contacted bonds via their chat function on the website where the staff member told me to go back to the company that sold the card. I was assured the card was fine and valid. I went back to bonds and explained the situation but did it through Facebook this time and was told the exact same thing- to go back to the seller of the card. After threatening to make a complaint, I was finally emailed by Bonds support advising me to use my gift card in the credit card payment section and not the gift card section. I screenshot the email and sent it to Bonds via Facebook and they said "yes as its an external gift card, to use the credit card section". I replied saying I told you EXACTLY what gift card it was and included a picture of it to them.

Honestly just absolutely useless and I won't shop again. This all took 24 bloody hours and no jumper is worth the stuff around and time I've put into this.

Bought bright pink activewear

Bought bright pink activewear. The pink runs and runs and doesn’t stop until the pink is peach. When emailing bonds regarding this they tell me to go to the store. Even though I’m talking about low quality products.
I will not buy these products again.

Such a shame.

Just lost six life long customers from my family all because you want to celebrate self inflicted, mentally disturbed narcissists.
Great work. Such a shame as your products weren’t half bad but there are plenty of others out there that choose not to alienate their customers base all for a bit of gross virtue signalling.

Hi fives marketing team.

My wife and sisters were long-term Bonds customers. I say 'were'. No longer. They have lost all respect and custom due to their insulting ad campaign featuring hairy men in women's bikinis. They have zero respect for women so we will boycott them permanently. and will spread the word to everyone we know on social media. Do Not Buy Bonds
