Default Online electrical retailers

We need to buy a lot of household appliances, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, vacuum cleaner, microwave, kettle. We live in a rural town which has a couple of electrical stores but with very little choice and prices seem high. Does anyone know of anywhere online where we can purchase these goods and that also do delivery in WA?

Hi, Click on my signature link below, I have listed all the major electrical stores that operate in Australia, some deliver and some do not but at least you will be able to get a rough idea of prices nationally, hope this helps...

We used them to buy our fridge freezer and tbh wouldn't recommend them. Took nearly 2 months to deliver and they lied to us on 2 separate occasions - told us the fridge was there and ready to be delivered when it wasn't - I wasted a couple of days waiting at home for deliveries that never appeared. We complained in writing to the manager, but strangely enough, have never heard anything.

Just took a quick look at some of the prices and I think I will be trying to shove a few more items in the container, $2000 for a BBQ, surely an ebay equivalent for £500 would be better, and out dyson will be a must looking at $679 for the same one.

Dont even get me started on big fridges:curse:

Bring as much as you can, even kettles are around $50. We have just had a fridge freezer $799, bed $3700, sofa $2500. If we knew how expensive everything was we would have brought more with us. Plus you have to add delivery of around $70 to each item.

Funny how different experiences can be isn't it as I had both my fridge and washer delivered within 24 hrs!
