$20 Voucher for Your First Order with Aussie Farmers Direct
$20 voucher code for new customers from their new "Boogers or Broccolis' Facebook App Quiz @ http://www.facebook.com/AussieFarmersDirect/app_316025495186... but seems to be a generic code that can be used multiple times.
Can be redeemed from their website http://bit.ly/12vzYZr and by clicking "Claim Voucher" up the top right hand corner and typing in the coupon code: NICEWORK.
They do have limited delivery areas but hopefully it comes in handy for those who are looking to try out their products.
UPDATE: For those having issues with the site, or want to know about service areas, try calling them on 1300 645 562 and quote them the Facebook promotion and code!
UPDATE 2: Seems as though different codes are given based on how you submit the quiz. Codes GREATWORK & WELLDONE also works as well (same voucher amount for $20).
UPDATE 3: From the rep:
As per our terms and conditions, 'New Customer' promotion codes cannot be used in conjuction with any other offer, including other codes. Our system will automatically update any customer accounts to remove duplicate codes and therefore any additional credits.
UPDATE 4: It seems as though only the original NICEWORK code now works.

I saw the following:
payment will automatically occur each Friday, the week after you receive your order, via your nominated credit card or direct debit.
If I order using the code, place my order, give out my cc detail, are they going to charge me automatically each Friday?
AussieFarmersDirect on 15/03/2013 - 14:17 ¶Hi there zhiqin, if you have placed a Regular Weekly order, you will be charged on Fridays once you have used all of your promotional credit.
If you have placed a Once off order, and it is under the credited amount, then there will be no charge at all for you.
If your order total is more than the credit value, you will only be charged any excess over that initial credit. We hope this helps clarify things, but if you have any further questions or concerns, don't hesitate to give us a call on 1300 645 562.

After the initial sign up page you can enter 'SPINACH' for an additional $10 credit.
'SPINACH' 'WELLDONE' and 'NICEWORK' stack….
Shimoneous on 08/03/2013 - 08:29 ¶Yeah, I find this a bit dodgy to be honest, I only just noticed it last second.. There will be a few people getting another package the same this time next week and wondering why I bet.
But i'm still happy, 1kg of mince and 500g of chicken wings for free.. Can't complain.
Winna Winna Chicken and Beef Dinna!!

Hi no_mercy, you're correct, we do need some form of payment details on file, before you are able to save through an order. Rest assured, you will only be charged if you spend over the credited amount, in which case, the charge will only be the difference between your order and your credit. We hope this helps clarify things. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to give us a call on 1300 645 562, or jump back into WebChat!

brucefromaustralia on 09/03/2013 - 18:03 ¶Reports below that they don't - especially at 2am or so when they deliver the meat, seafood etc with the milk.

Charge should be weekly only if you have placed WEEKLY orders - hopefully.
But by the design of the site, I would not trust that.
And amount deducted may not be the amount you agreed to!
I have outlined the issues on page 2.
- brucefromaustralia on 09/03/2013 - 18:12 ¶
Prices & order are not confirmed until 2pm day before order, as you can change the order up to that time. An email is issued after you place an order, and when there are changes to your order by you or them.
So guess the order/number/price will be confirmed after that time.
They have increased my item prices by up to 81% in less than 1 day!!
There can be further changes to those prices!
+3 votesI think this is a great Promotion! Seriously, I can see myself using this now that I have an idea on how it works with the generous amount in the voucher. I know the food prices aren't very competitive but they are within margins of some other stores and with free shipping it doesn't make me feel like I have to buy enough to make it worth my while. So I hope this promotion wont cripple them and if you do find the product and service useful consider them again when you are too lazy/don't have tome to go to the shops yourself.

Free shipping - Have fun with the non Fruit & Vegie deliveries between midnight & 7am!

It hasn't been a big deal, the order was there for me the next morning well packed in a very good esky and chilled well. realistically i couldn't think of a better time to have it delivered so it is unlikely for other people to steal it (I live in a apartment block) and i dont need to waste time waiting because i will be sleeping. i know you have your problems with the price variation bruce but over all they are a great service which it so desperately missing in today's corporate system.
There isn't a fight here (if you were looking for one), this business model of having the customer come first and supporting Australian products should be supported and talked about to prompt other companies to take it as practice. We all have been crying over for ages that would WOULD pay extra for good service, this has been the excuse used about the 10% GST on imported good. So here I feel we have our closet shot of what we wanted.- brucefromaustralia on 12/03/2013 - 11:46 ¶
Totally agree - but like many things on their site, it was not clearly indicated before the order was made that the delivery would be at a time most people would not expect a delivery. If you have animals - that may be a problem. (I have lost a case of wine delivered while I was out during the day.) It is the failure to clearly disclose many necessary conditions associated with this good service that earnt a very rare neg from me. I am sure/hope they will improve so we can enjoy it without any worries.

Just checked my invoice for March again,my order has shown up and the cost has been deducted from the credit i have,nothing charged to my card so i think we're golden.

Managed to stack coupons upto $50 but did not place the order as somehow i felt it would be unethical. (If you were Woolies/Coles i wouldnt feel that way though) Now i feel better that only one voucher will be used an now am happy to place the order and pay the difference. Wish you success!
- T_double_U on 07/03/2013 - 21:54 ¶
Yep same,only i ended up placing an order for just under $20 worth.
+11 votesgadgets-galah on 07/03/2013 - 17:09 ¶Well said. I was beginning to feel tinges of shame at being an OB'er. This isn't a big multi-national with years of market manipulation behind it, it's an Australian start-up supporting Australian growers/producers. Surely we can play nicely and be happy we got $20 worth of free stuff without sending the business to the wall?
+1 voteNice one - thanks, OP! I ordered a few things - if the quality is good, I will order again.
I can also confirm that you can only use one promo credit; my account had a previous credit from last year which the very helpful lady on chat told me I could not use with the new one (which is fair enough).
ilovelollies on 07/03/2013 - 18:04 ¶How do I know that the order has been placed? I've clicked confirm but it doesn't seem to be loading and it doesn't show up on my invoice apart from the $20 credit.
Would also like to know as placed mine (see my earlier comment) but hasn't shown up in my invoice yet, dunno if it should have or not…mine did say Order Saved when I hit confirm, although now when I go in there it's kindof like the items are just in my basket again and the confirm button is still there…
+5 votesI must warn all of you that there is a security vulnerability I experienced upon registering and being logged in. The URL I was brought to was:
https://orders.aussiefarmers.com.au/index.php?login=remote&login_pwd=PASSWORD-HERE&login_username=EMAIL-ADDRESS-HEREAs you can see, it contains a parameter for your password and a parameter for your username/e-mail address.

I did realise that it's using HTTPS, but:
- a browser may store the URL in history
- someone may bookmark the URL
- someone may take a screenshot of their browser without realising that the username and password are visible in the address bar
- the server may log requested URLs, and if someone gains access to these logs, they could get people's usernames and passwords

Lack of secure site design - just another reason why this deal is a FAIL!
See T&C (p10) - they can bill you for any increase in price without reason
(You must notify them by 2pm the day before delivery to cancel items they increased in price!)
See FAQ - midnight to 7am delivery times for meat, seafood, bread, milk, etc!
(Have fun fighting the wildlife/neighbours for your breakfast!)
- brucefromaustralia on 10/03/2013 - 17:52 ¶
I have contacted the Rep outlining the issues I raised.
It is structural - and many issues not 1 as you say, all created by the design of this business. They have just spent money redesigning their website, so assume there are no issues.
Hard to resolve T&C issues - am hoping they will come to their senses by outining them here.
T&C are what you agreed to at sign up - so it is not an issue to them. You can only choose to close account or refuse to sign up. So I chose to close the account and posted this as a warning for other users.
