What has happened to Mighty Ape?

What has happened to Mighty Ape?
I recently purchased an item from them and discovered they just passed my order to China for the product to be shipped. When something went wrong, they just passed my question to China for them to reply.
I have now asked a question about another product and again they have just contacted their "supplier" for them to reply. 3 days later and I'm still waiting...
I would recommend avoiding Mighty Ape. They are nothing but a reseller without offering any support. Much of the stuff they sell appears to be available on Temu or Aliexpress at a far cheaper price. And, from experience, Temu and Aliexpress offer a far better service.

Terrible customer service

They advertise items as available to purchase however have no stock. No communication is sent about delays to Delivery and no people to talk to with chatbots only. Very disappointing service

Horrible resolution process for faulty…

Horrible resolution process for faulty items, had a faulty Juggernaut Monitor I returned on 14/08/2026 (that is after the customer service reluctantly asked me to send it back), hadn't received any updates and used the chat on the site on the 1/09/26 to follow up (as they dont have a direct complaints department) and they again said they will update me when they hear anything back. From the time I logged the issue to now it has been 3 months with no resolution or contact, DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM MIGHTY APE, WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE EVER!!

Important detail is easy to miss

The desktop surface consists of two separate pieces. This is actually mentioned in the product description as “2 x Split board top”, which I unfortunately missed when ordering.

However, none of the product photos make this obvious, and I think such a significant design detail should be shown clearly rather than only mentioned briefly in the description.

I initially also had trouble reaching customer service, but once they contacted me directly they were helpful and offered a satisfactory solution.

I couldn't find what I wanted elsewhere, but Might Ape had what I wanted. It was a bit expensive to post, but that's New Zealand... post not cheap.
But im happy with my two experiences on Might Ape.

I would give 0 star if I could

I would give 0 star if I could. My item arrived with broken item inside. Apparently it's someone's returned broken good and reselling to another victim. The inner packaging is broken. All the plastic part of a spin bike is broken. Absolute unacceptable and I will not buy from here again.

Absolutely horrible experience

Absolutely horrible experience. They have my money I don't have my monitor. On the website the order would have been at my place 10 August. After payment it got moved to October. Then I was emailed that it would arrive Monday 17th. Then they emailed to give my money back. Latest email tells me it was already delivered. How useless is this group. Nobody knows what is going on and you can't call anybody. I will never buy there again. I still don't have my money

Used to be good when it was New Zealand…

Used to be good when it was New Zealand based. Now it’s poor service, frustrating trying to get hold of anyone and when you do they all say “I don’t know I will have to find out” on the most basic of questions . For example, how do I unsubscribe as your website no longer has the option to choose, took multiple people to sort out that simple request. Also, the amount of spam you get after ordering a product is ridiculous. Pretty sad really. Was 10/10 when first came along.. now I’d go elsewhere before using you as you’re like the Temu experience of these products now.

UPDATE: for some reason you guys needed more information on my experience with your terrible help system. What more can I add? Waiting waiting waiting, to be messed around. Website was bad to navigate when I wanted to unsubscribe from your one million emails you fill my spam box with

Shadow of former glory

I used to love Mighty Ape, but now, it has gone to the trash heap. By expanding their catalogue, they're now a rebranded Temu. It is hard to distinguish what it is you're actually buying and whether it is an an advertised product or a knock off, Primate doesn't apply to almost all orders, and the filters / sorting barely work because of the amount of bloat of badly labelled products. Shipping disputes with 3rd party retailers are a nightmare. I'm going to primarily use international, bigger competitors in the future before using this service I have been loyal to since ot was GamePlanet. MA should be ashamed of the quality of the service they now provide.

Hi Daniel, our Marketplace allows trusted third-party sellers to list products for sale through our site, so customers can shop an even wider product range. However, if you've experienced any issues with Marketplace orders, please let our Customer Care team know and we'd be more than happy to help. We'll pass along the feedback to the relevant team but our apologies for any disappointment caused here.

Item never came, shipping times excessive

I ordered an item and got through checkout without any indication of shipping times, which is bizarre for a website in 2026. My confirmation email showed shipping times of 4 weeks out from my date of purchase, which was frustrating and I never would have purchased had I known. Then the shipping date passed, and after some back and forth with customer service (which was responsive, one plus!) I was finally informed that my item was not sourceable and that my order was cancelled and I'd get a refund. I should have ordered on Amazon, paid extra for shipping but saved myself 5 weeks.

Hi there, we're really sorry for the delay and discontinuation of your order. It looks like the item purchased was, and is currently, advertised as Sold by Mighty Ape rather than In Stock as we order this from our supplier. Shipping timeframes are displayed on the product listing and on the trolley page before proceeding to checkout but we're really sorry if this wasn't clear. If you have any questions about our ETAs and shipping timeframes before purchasing, please reach out to our Customer Care team and we'd be more than happy to help.
