Customer satisfaction research and ratings company Canstar Blue has awarded Mighty Ape the Most Satisfied Customers Award in their Online Retailers category for 2021 for the third consecutive year!

Overall, Mighty Ape swung in as the top online store for overall satisfaction; we were the only retailer to earn 5 stars in this category. We also received 5 stars for speed of delivery and ease of site navigation, and 4 stars for value for money, range of products, and range of brands.

Mighty Ape's Marketing Manager Gracie MacKinlay had the following to say on the win, “It's a great honour to receive Canstar Blue's Most Satisfied Customer Award in the Online Retailers category again this year. It hasn't quite been business-as-usual in the last 12 months and it will continue to be challenging for many businesses in the coming year. We'll continue to keep an open mind, listen to our customers, and strive to be the best that we can be to provide a top-notch shopping experience to our customers. We would like to thank all our customers for their support!”
