Woolworths is Australia’s go-to supermarket for millions of shoppers every week, and its customer service reflects a commitment to making shopping simple and reliable. From friendly in-store assistance to helpful online support channels like live chat, email, and phone, Woolworths offers a wide range of options to help customers get issues resolved.

Whether it’s a refund for damaged produce, help with your online order, or Everyday Rewards support, Woolworths has a strong track record for resolving problems quickly and fairly. Their “Replace & Refund” promise, 24/7 virtual assistant Olive, and dedicated support lines ensure help is always close at hand.

Customers most often report:

• Substitution frustrations in online orders, especially when replacements aren’t suitable.
  
  
• Freshness issues with delivered produce or short expiry items.
  
  
• Price discrepancies between online and in-store, or errors at checkout.
  
  
• Delivery delays or damages, such as missed windows or squashed items.
  
  
• Slow refunds, sometimes taking over a week to show up.
  
  
• Call centre wait times, particularly during peak events or outages.

Despite these, most shoppers say issues are fixed after contacting Woolies – especially via live chat or in-store service desks.
