hipages Omdömen 

I used J&H Paving.
Harry did an excellent job. Vey pleasant personality, good worker. Reliable . I would recommend him .

I really needed to have various work completed in the garden and house before Christmas
Every time I needed a tradie I had 3 responses within 24 hours
I had been provided with 2 quotes within a few days and work started and was completed as agreed in good time with excellent attention to detail
Absolutely thrilled !!

Callum was very efficient at his job was also very polite and on time and left the place clean after replastering ceiling would recommend and I have other work for him after Xmas

Site is incredibly difficult to navigate, I had to download the app which wasn’t much better. The quality of the trades is below par. I won’t use it again.

Honestly, other lead generation sites are far better and cost-effective without contractual commitment. The leads here are not of good quality at all but expensive.

They only allow posting of positive reviews. This is false and unethical. I hired a plumber through this site and he was apalling. I could not leave a true review.

Avoid at all costs.

Estafa, captación de clientes, ofertas falsas.

I didn't know much about hipages before I found them online and expressed an interest. One of their representatives called and honestly seemed very friendly. I explained I was considering doing some independent work in a specific trade. She assured me that there were multiple leads advertised that very day and no interested tradies. She (Kylie) also assured me I could sign up for a 6 month contract but if I wasn't happy there's a 7 day cooling down period I could activate and walk away no worries. I was a little hesitant but she became quite pushy in hindsight and persuaded me there was no risk. I signed up and logged in to view the ads she told me about, none of them were there to my dismay. I gave the site a few days before I tried to activate the 7 day cooling off period but because I selected a couple of leads not directly linked to the line of work I do I was locked in although I was lied to at the start! I have cancelled my direct debit and currently seeking a refund. They keep deflecting my complaint and urging me to update my profile. Very poor experience.

My first experience was three responses and when I responded to them there was no response from them
Second attempt I got one responses for both requests and now one is complete - locksmith and second one said would get back to me still waiting for when he can come

Where is the NO star option...I was interested to see the same from other tradies here...being completely ripped off and contract exit almost impossible. We have phoned, cancelled that many times. They had the pleasure of taking our $79 a month when for over a year we have said we are not doing any contracting work. And then they have the audacity to have their team keep phoning to try and keep my hubbie to keep signed up. On top of that I am unable to freely delete my credit card from their system. That in itself is an issue. I would not recommend any tradies to use, just advertise via social media and hopefully customers will support small business and not utilise this system either. I certainly wont again.

Hi pages electricity is a total scam , they promise a 20% saving , convert your account to them then 6 months later say you don’t qualify for the discount stating they asked for bills which hadn’t been posted from previous supplier during the changeover period .
Steer clear of them .

Responsive, work gets done quickly

Hired a l tradesman through this website. The tradesman’s ABN was registered, however the business name was not registered.
HiPages has a duty of care to ensure those advertising are who they say they are to protect the consumer. IT IS ILLEGAL IN QUEENSLAND TO TRADE WITHOUT A BUSINESS NAME, if you are trading under anything other than your legal given name. The tradesman spray painted my fence, he didn’t powder coat it and now 6 months later paint is peeling off and I cannot go to ASIC to get the guys details to serve him QCAT papers.

As expected honest and reliable some thing that is hard to find this days that's all I want from a service any extras its a bonus 😀

⭐ 1-Star Review for hipages
Hipages is a total scam. They bleed tradies dry — charging for cancelled leads that never turn into real jobs. You pay upfront and get nothing but excuses when you ask for help.
Everywhere you look, it’s the same story — pages of 1-star reviews from other tradies saying exactly the same thing.
This company doesn’t support small businesses — they use us to line their pockets. I’ll never recommend hipages to anyone, and I’ll be exposing all their dodgy practices.
Beware of this company 👎💰
They take no responsibility for dead leads,

Hi Shir has done an amazing job Awsome fencing job for me.
I appreciate hi-pages and Shir .
I would definitely recommend my family and friends .
Thank you.

Within minutes of requesting tiler and water proofing services we got 3 suggestions and all 3 made contact.
Although we went with the tiler that offered great explanations, very good pricing it was their willingness to start on the day they arrived to quote that impressed. However all other tilers suggested would be a recommendation too... thanks hipages

Beware – Hipages does not properly check licences.

I hired a fencing contractor through Hipages, paid a $3,000 deposit, and he never did the work. Instead, he demanded more money and then blocked all contact. NSW Fair Trading later confirmed he was unlicensed for this type of job.

The serious concern here is not just one bad tradie, but that Hipages allows anyone to create a profile with no real licence verification for jobs over $5,000. This creates a platform where scammers can operate freely, taking deposits and leaving customers with financial loss and safety risks.

Homeowners should be extremely cautious using Hipages. Do not assume that because a tradie is listed on Hipages they are qualified or licensed. Always independently verify licences through Fair Trading before paying any money.

I also want to clarify a few key points:

1) I lodged a complaint with NSW Fair Trading, and they confirmed this tradesperson was unlicensed. If Hipages’ licence checks had worked properly, this should have been flagged before I engaged him. I was never informed by Hipages that he was unlicensed.

2) I am now pursuing the matter through NCAT, but NCAT requires a service address for the tradesperson. Hipages’ position is that we cannot provide you with this information due to confidentiality, and that the request must come via NCAT. However, NCAT has made it clear they do not contact third parties on my behalf. This leaves consumers like me stuck in a loop with no practical remedy.

3) Hipages has not suspended the profile properly. Instead, they simply added a note: “This page doesn’t advertise anymore.” This means that anyone can still message the same person, request a quote, pay a deposit — and then risk being scammed in the same way. I was only told that if the tradie wants to advertise again, he would need to resolve the dispute with me first. This does absolutely nothing to protect other consumers.

4) To make matters worse, when I contacted the tradesperson recently, he openly told me: “I don’t have any licences. You can’t do anything through Hipages, you can’t do anything with Fair Trading, you can’t do anything with NCAT, and you can’t do anything with police because it’s civil.” This shows he is fully aware of the gaps in the system and has likely done this before.

Thank you for your further response. Unfortunately, your suggestion is not workable in my case. The tradesperson you allowed onto your platform did not hold a licence, and Fair Trading has already confirmed this to me. Because he has no licence, Fair Trading cannot request his service address from you, which means I am left without any support.

This is exactly the problem: Hipages provided me with a tradie who was unlicensed, operating only under an individual ABN, and yet I was never warned of the risks. Now, instead of practical help to recover my loss, I am being passed between agencies while the tradesperson faces little consequence.

In reality, Hipages allowed an unlicensed tradesperson to take a deposit for regulated building work, failed to warn me, and now refuses to provide the information I need to pursue justice. The only action they’ve taken is a cosmetic disclaimer on his profile, which still leaves consumers exposed. Hipages’ system offers little protection against scammers, while homeowners like me are left with financial losses and no real support. Refer to other similar comments and reviews.

The worst platform for small business owners (tradies). High lead prices, not transparent and trapping contract with undisclosed costs.
Would not recommend to anyone who’s looking for a boost to their business.
Stay away from them. 🙅‍♂️
