Australia Based Deals / Info / Links / Discussion

Hey Chibim Ozbargain is a site where we post deals they dont actually sell anything. The actual deal is at a Costco store in Sydney which you have to be a member to access. Also the deal has been up for ages i doubt any are left.

Yes that deal is over. I went looking for a search function on the Costco website but couldn’t find one.

Maybe I am slow today but how does one access the Amazon AU site?

I thought there was a targeted launch yesterday and a general launch today. The AU site is still ebooks.

Yea same here i am getting nothing yet weird?

While i am here Dewalt is having a black Friday sale here in Australia so most retailers are stocking this for around $199 and Bunnings and Toolmart have it for $189. Seems really cheap for a hammer decent drill plus you get the big battery.

I cant find much information but apparently its 70NM torque. I just herd the add on the radio now its a one day only sale!

I read somewhere it was only open to a select few. For how long I have no idea.

^ I thought that was yesterday and today was supposedly a general launch. I guess the launch date was from the same source as the free ice cream.

Google is finding some content but the front door is not open yet:

Maybe not the same as https://www.amazon.com.au content.


SCA has a 14500 USB Rechargeable headlamp on sale for $9.90. No idea if it is any good, however one review states that the 14500 is “built in”.

EDit- Just realised this is delivery only.

Looks interesting. I’ll have to order one when I get home for curiosity sake.

Thanks.
They appear to be these: AH0TC1N002 – Favour Light
Favourlight

Or you can get one with two CR123As !!

Not on my head thanks.

No sense of adventure?

Maybe with an 18650 instead of two CR123As.

Thanks mapache! I need a headlamp, and when I logged in to the SCA site I discovered I has credit, so I got two for $0.

Yea i was looking at the Supercheap Multimeters they are re-bagged UNI-T meters at a marked up price.

Cant pick the headlamp up in store. $7.50 for postage.

Yeah, that’s why I added the edit. I thought it was click and collect at first.

They also have a “Cree” 23 inch light bar for $29 (plus $9.xx postage fee), I’m almost tempted at that price and even though it’s supposedly twice as bright as my old driving lights I am sure it will be disappointing especially with that tint, and swapping 23 leds won’t be fun with my skills.

Anybody find any good deals with Amazon AU’s soft launch?

I see Thorfire are on Amazon Aus.

Those TF prices on Au Amazon are excellent.
I know I mentioned it in the Amazon/TF thread, but I will mention it again because I am happy to see Aussies finally getting a fair go!

For those that like things that go bang, or maybe have a huge flashlight collection, SCA has these on special for $99.xx, normally $189.xx.

They are a tad short and a bit on the heavy side at slightly over 9KG!, but seem robust. A 40” OAL with optic and 37” without optic just fits (and I mean just) and should be fine for flat carrying in a vehicle but for rough handling you wouldn’t want much longer than 36” OAL. The hinge pins are steel, it has two padlock points, and wheels to help with all that weight. The pick and pluck seems to be of average quality and I have an idea for a foam upgrade. Lol, this is starting to sound more like a review. I’ll just leave the link and go before someone asks for photos of my foam removal skills.
