    it is easier to get stuff directly from the retailers rather than via click frenzy or just watch ozbargain

  • scotty on 14/11/2013 - 15:22

    Last two times (EoFY and Father's Day sales) the ClickFrenzy site actually holds up quite well, thanks being well architected and hosted on Amazon S3. It was actually the retailers' sites that were having issues.

    • machej on 19/11/2013 - 02:08

      Actually looks like they are using squarespace as a CDN for images. At $18/month they are just as cheap as Ozbargainers. :P

      • scotty on 19/11/2013 - 10:03

        SquareSpace uses EdgeCast for CDN, and it would cost a lot more than $18/month for traffic coming out from their Sydney POP. Well done ClickFrenzy for finding a cheap solution :)

        • Azkatro on 19/11/2013 - 12:35

          I have concerns, myself - for example the page listing all brands (http://www.clickfrenzy.com.au/online-shopping-event/) currently is doing around 300 requests to the same host (loading all the brand/retailer logos) even if you don't scroll down. Not exactly promising in the optimisation department.

        • machej on 19/11/2013 - 15:39

          Doesn't matter as they are hosted on Edgecast rather than the retailers sites. It's pretty much free bandwidth for everyone except for SquareSpace.

        • Azkatro on 19/11/2013 - 16:55

          True, but having a page that opens 300 connections on a single page view is such a hige, basic mistake. What else is going on with their setup like this that we don't see until the switch os flicked? I'll be stunned if everything runs smoothly come 7pm.

        • scotty on 19/11/2013 - 17:05
          +1

          You don't open 300 connections to the remote server… Back in the old days IE used to limit 2 connections per host, and these days browsers use pipelining to reduce the number of connections needed to serve multiple requests.

          However comes 7PM, even if just 2 connections per browser, times that by 100,000 — EdgeCast might be able to handle it, but someone would need to foot the bill (poor SquareSpace?)

        • machej on 19/11/2013 - 18:16

          Lol, SquareSpace has some capital. We all do the same to same bandwidth fees. Using CDNs are expensive.

        • machej on 19/11/2013 - 18:18

          They could have used spriting but this is coming from a company that could barely serve a webpage last year. :P

      • berger on 19/11/2013 - 18:50

        Well, they would have a fair idea, as this was an idea copied from America and thier Black Friday sales.

    The classic deal in the event last time was for a Julius Marlow shoes for $40 a pair shipped.

    • 2ndeffort on 15/11/2013 - 16:36

      Good shoes wore them to work this week!!!

      • fchis on 15/11/2013 - 21:00

        Got two pairs. Have been wearing it for a while now. Very comfy.

        • EvilTeddy on 19/11/2013 - 13:12

          I was told that "Sorry, even though the shoes that you paid for appeared available on the website, they are actually sold out and we will never be getting them again". Not happy with them!

    not sure about sale items..

  • huydn on 19/11/2013 - 10:58

    Surfstitch codes

    • Enter promo code FRENZY to get 25% off sitewide when you spend over $60.

      This is a better deal but not sure if it still works.

    • Enter promo code FRENZYBOARD to receive 15% off Surfboards and Softboards.

  • scotty on 19/11/2013 - 12:21

    Reported on Sydney Morning Herald this morning. Interestingly it also interviewed Ruslan Kogan. They supposed to have this "Kogan Frenzy" started at 7AM this morning, but so far we haven't had any Kogan deal submitted.

    Bendon has 30% off full price with the code FRENZY30 and also has a sale section - not sure if this was up before and has just been rebranded as click frenzy though.

  • neil on 19/11/2013 - 16:13

    Kogan is being threatened with legal action by ClickFrenzy for having it's non-official frenzy sale.

    Gizmodo & The Age

    The press regard these vague legal threats as a PR stunt to promote both sales yet the media still publish the story. :)

    • scotty on 19/11/2013 - 16:25
      +5

      I think the legal threat here is mainly on the "brand". You see a shop using the word Frenzy in the sale you automatically associate them with the whole ClickFrenzy campaign, but sometimes not the case. Going through the deals today we see a lot of shops also host their sale using that word. I actually don't agree with Gizmodo here — if I have paid top marketing dollars drumming up this silly event, I'll be pissed to see shops that ride on the same campaign (i.e. using trademarked words) without paying an inclusion fee. It's a bit different from Black Friday.

      If Kogan, DJ and other shops want an open-for-all event, they should just call it something else, which I would actually be more inclined to support than the ClickFrenzy thing.

      • camelgrass on 20/11/2013 - 03:05
        +1

        I have to agree with Scotty. It's pretty poor form for a retailer to ride on the back of another campaign. I wouldn't expect anything less from Ruslan Kogan, but there are also some well respected retailers doing the same thing.

        In my eyes it reflects poorly on the merchant, but that's just me, I'm sure most people don't give a sh*t as long as there's some good deals in it for them.

  • lisss on 19/11/2013 - 16:27

    OO.com.au has its offers listed here: http://www.oo.com.au/lp/click-frenzy-13/
    Nothing that appeals to me.

  • lisss on 19/11/2013 - 16:41

    Windsor Smith - 20% off everything and free shipping

    Masters - Masters $10 off $50 or $30 off $150 with code CLICKFRENZY

  • lisss on 19/11/2013 - 16:42

    Colorado - 40% off storewide with code FF40

  • lisss on 19/11/2013 - 16:44

    Vollies - all internationals $20 a pair

  • lisss on 19/11/2013 - 16:49

    Topbuy has its offers listed - cheap "Sandisk" SD cards and "Zara" bags. Given the FAKES that they have sold in the past (fake Nike, fake Havaianas) I'm willing to bet these are fakes too. There are (unconfirmed) reviews posted online that they have sold fake Sandisk SD cards in the past.

    Crazy Sales have listed their frenzy offers at http://www.crazysales.com.au/clickfrenzy_s2597

    Amcal click frenzy offers are here http://www.amcal.com.au/en/amcal/sale/click-frenzy-range

    • scotty on 19/11/2013 - 17:08
      +1

      TopBuy is still banned on OzBargain so no one would be posting their deals. However not because of counterfeit products…

      • Prettyinpink on 19/11/2013 - 17:16

        What happened at Topbuy?

        • machej on 19/11/2013 - 18:21

          I assume spamming/sockpuppeting.

          Topbuy are scammers. You try and get a warranty claim out of them. I had to go to VCAT

  • BlazinPast on 19/11/2013 - 19:29

    Hey, just an idea for next time. Is it possible to list it by posting date as well? It gets sort of tedious having to scan through entire list every 20 minutes and figuring out the new deals.

    • neil on 19/11/2013 - 19:34

      Yeah good point. I'll try and log what's added down the bottom (maybe!).

    Anyone found a good TV for sale on ClickFrenzy Cheap? I wanted one 32" TV … simple? I gave up.

    ClickFrenzy - The sale that stops the nation (Last year it was the snail that frustrates the nation)

    So I searched http://www.clickfrenzy.com.au/search/result?q=32%22+TV

    "We found no offers for "32"+TV" in all deals".. What. No one has a 32" TV on sale

    Found it easier to use Getprice (http://www.getprice.com.au/buy-best-Samsung-32-Series-5-FHD-…) and purchased the TV from http://www.Eljo.com.au.

    Was faster than trying to find anything through ClickFrenzy, actually had multiple choices (not zero results) and cheaper!

    • auna on 19/11/2013 - 22:44

      Looks like something from ClickFrenzy so they can get you to shop all the way through Christmas. The tagline is "online shopping destination where serious shoppers live". Moreover,

      It's time now to give our customers a 24/7, always on opportunity to browse and buy from the retail brands they love, with an ever-changing array of fresh new offers

      Sounds like ozbargain to me :-)

      • 51ngh on 19/11/2013 - 22:50

        Sound like more "Free Shipping for orders over $85" offers to me !
        Thats just the sceptic in me … :/

        We shall see …….

      • Holysmoke on 19/11/2013 - 22:55

        Exactly like an Ozbargain knock-off:

        Find killer offers posted by the shopping community - YOU! Plus, you can submit great deals you've found yourself.

        • JeffreyM on 20/11/2013 - 11:38

          Their motto would suggests they're trying to compete with OzBargain and similar websites, "Serious Shoppers Live Here"

        • neil on 20/11/2013 - 19:51

          It now says launching at 7AM instead of 7PM. Hmm.

        • scotty on 21/11/2013 - 07:15

          Now 12pm.

        • camelgrass on 21/11/2013 - 07:54

          I guess both OB and the other site will be pulling deals from each other. Hence, both sites will have very similar listings. Not saying that's bad, just saying.

        • neil on 21/11/2013 - 12:25

          It now says 4PM.

        • neil on 21/11/2013 - 15:45

          LOL. Now it says 5PM. The developers must be feeling the pressure!

        • scotty on 21/11/2013 - 17:28

        • Linkwick on 21/11/2013 - 17:31

          Launching at 5:30pm… yet my countdown still has 1/2hr to go. Go figure!! :-p

        • auna on 21/11/2013 - 17:36

          Looking good. Apparently 5.30pm is in 25 minutes.

        • scotty on 21/11/2013 - 17:37

          It's called "mania" for a reason.

        • neil on 21/11/2013 - 17:56

          Now it says 11PM. Let's hope nothing goes wrong with the site otherwise it will be a long night!

          Yet the countdown is counting down to 5AM on the 22nd.

        • auna on 21/11/2013 - 18:27

          Now it says 7AM 7th Friday 22nd. At least it is counting down correctly now…

        • neil on 22/11/2013 - 03:08

          Looks like it's live. Given it's day 1, you can't be too critical.

          Pros:

          • Pinterest/Responsive design is nice.
          • Clean interface to submit deal.
          • You can pick time of when deal expires.
          • You can pick thumbnail.
          • Extensive categorization.

          Cons:

          • You can only register via Facebook. Comments are also only through Facebook.
          • Says votes but I don't see a vote button. Is Facebook liking votes?
          • Search just brings up tiles. Not very informative.
          • Most of the submitted deals are meh however there are some popular ones that I recognize from here.
          • Can't upload picture.
          • No tagging of deals
          • Vague line between deals and retailers paying for advertising.

          Deal submissions are moderated and though we encourage all submissions, any abuse of our community-based system by retailers attempting to gain free advertising will not be tolerated. Advertising options are available on Click Mania for retailers and brands seeking to promote their offers to our audience.
          It appears there is something called premium deals. I guess those are the paid deals.

          Using Facebook as commenting and signing in is probably the biggest issue. Guess we'll watch this space.

      • machej on 20/11/2013 - 00:31

        Probably annoyed at Ozbargain for giving non-clickfrenzy stores free publicity so they are trying to launch their own.

        • camelgrass on 20/11/2013 - 03:29

          That's what I was thinking. Scotty said in a previous comment that if it was his campaign he would be pissed to see merchants riding on the back of his efforts, yet openly promotes the very same retailers on OB.

          Yeah I know, OB is a community driven website and every single decision made that relates to OB is determined by the community. ;-)

        • scotty on 20/11/2013 - 07:10

          Hehe. Somehow my sarcasm-meter is buzzing on this one. But just to be sure, no, members don't make all the decisions here :)

      My guess is it will be like Buckscoop. Bucks coop had an advantage in offering cash back deals and people assuming everyone will get Bucks coop cash back. They also frequently had competitions rewarding good deal posts.

      There definitely wasn't as many deal posts as here though.

        IMO, OZB is more of Community Driven where people give and take of the bargains instead of getting rewards for posting a deal. It requires some active and passionate users to contribute on the forums on a daily basis.

      The smart thing would have been to launch it WITH click frenzy and have people go there to check out the deals not after the sale.

    Unless you'd been specifically waiting for something that never does down, the deals are not deals. I'm only interested in dining tables and tents. I can get both much cheaper every day. Anaconda is hugely overpriced - makes them looks bad IMO.

    Iconic website sucks.

    Why bother having a sale when it comes to checkout. The webpage goes nowhere. It doesn't matter how many times you click continue.

    I miss PricesEngine :(

    • camelgrass on 20/11/2013 - 23:23

      Yeah whatever happened to them?

      • auna on 21/11/2013 - 08:05

        PayPal withholding funds so they didn't have enough assets to continue the business.

        I've been told this can happen if too much percentage wise are disputed. They would have to be reviewed by PayPal. From the fact that they didn't return I gather it didn't work in their favour.

        • camelgrass on 21/11/2013 - 08:38

          Is it that they didn't have the funds to continue or was it that PayPal simply banned them from using them as a payment gateway?

          How much funds could there have been in their PayPal account? Enough to break them? If I was them I would have been transferring funds out to my bank account at least once a day. Must be more to the story. Probably expensive legal fees killed them in the end.

          They were same people who ran 9289.com.au right?
