Hello Mike,

Unfortunately the original photo uploaded was incorrect and unavailable.

I have now proceeded to cancel your order and refund the $69.90 back to you PayPal account. This amount should be available in the next 2-3 business days.

I apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused and if there is anything else I can help with please don't hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,

Maggie

  • Does anyone have any experience with this product? Cheers, fellas!

  • +1

    can this hold a 27" monitor?

  • +2

    I'd trust the brand, however, the load limits on this are not given so no one has any idea if typical 27" monitors will be alright. May need to dig further!

    Fits easily to any monitor.

    Gets out NEC 42" commercial monitor

    Edit: This site shows 12kg limit on the monitor arm. It is probably 12kg at full arm extension.

  • Was also looking at this but couldn't find any detailed specifications including the dimensions of each component. Ie Arms, pole, mounting brackets etc.

  • +3

    OMG I LOVE YOU OZBARGAIN!
    Somehow, you knew I was looking for one.
    you kneeeeew!

  • Thanks OP, just ordered two.

  • Still waiting for my $10 coupon from COTD from the last purchase from them for that Griffin iPad stand. Would have been useful to apply against this one.

  • How do we know if it would fit our monitors?

    • you monitor must fit a VESA mount and weigh less than 12kg

  • cant buy 2 why?!!!

    • I managed to place 2 order. Maybe out of stock?

  • Looking online, it looks like these babies normally sell for $100+ some almost $200, so $30 is quite good.

    • agreed. this is why it's selling out!

  • damn!!! missed it

  • sold out

    • :( sorry to hear.

  • I just bought it, maybe the last one… Anyway, I'm not sure that I need it but its $200 at Officeworks so the price difference made me buy it alone.

    • +1

      haha tat's the ozb spirit! :) But let me know if you dont need it right! (I missed it…but actually needed one)

      • Haha, okay.

      • I'm asking for a refund, I wanted the Extended Monitor Arm but now they've changed it to the Kensington Smartfit Single Monitor Arm.

  • just noticed that if you click the above link now.. the pictured item has changed.. not as the thumbed picture on ozbargain?

    Am i going crazy or did i not see that other picture on cotd before?

    The one now pictured is this one: Smartfit® Single Monitor Arm

    Either i was hallucinating but i thought i had seen this

  • +3

    I just received my order from COTD.
    It is a lie by COTD.

    The product I have received is "http://www.kensington.com/kensington/en/au/p/1427/60903/smartfit%C2%AE-single-monitor-arm.aspx#.Uw2PBIVBoZw" and not "http://www.kensington.com/kensington/en/au/p/1427/60904/extended-monitor-arm.aspx" as shown by the initial pictures that COTD had put up.

    I've written a complain to COTD and I hope they will do something about this.

    • oh wow that really sucks. I was thinking the same thing! Saw the picture with the extended arm and thought I would be receiving that.

      The base looks the same, I wonder if they could just source the extendible arm as a spare part from Kensington and ship those out to us …

    • Can you give me the link or email you sent your complaint/query to so that I might do the same, thankyou.

    • +1

      you're kidding, that's so bad…..thx for the heads up coz im complaining and cancelling….so now even when the servers dont crash and you do get the "catch of the day", they screw you….

      • i know right, unless they fix this, i will not deal with them again, its not hard to list the right item… they are almost the same price anyway they should honour it, but of course they will not.

      • So not cotd but fotd?

    • Btw when you said you received your item, was it because it was published before and you ordered it a couple of weeks ago? Thanks

      • I ordered it on the 23rd Feb and got it on 26th Feb.

  • thanks for confirming it for me..

    FFS time to cancel!

  • They did change the photo. AND I am pretty sure that the description included extendable monitor arm as it does on the ozbargain post. So which one would we be getting, because i need the extendable arm one, the one in the new photo is useless to me…

    Should I request a cancellation or do you think we might get the extendable arm one that was shown first?

    • I would be very surprised if I am the only one that got the "useless" version.

      But if anyone did receive the extendible arm version, please do let me know.

      • how did you receive it so quickly, or has this been on COTD for a while?

        • I ordered it on Sunday.
          Was thrilled this morning when Aus Post sent me an email telling me my package was with them in the shop.
          was thrilled till I opened the box anyway…

    • +1

      Every reference about "Extended" are removed from the web page from OP, I look back to my order it says "Kensington Smartfit Single Monitor Arm" !!!! OMG! This is cheating !!! I looked into their cancellation method https://helpcentre.catchoftheday.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/20…. Buyer need to bear the postage cost as well.

      "Catch of the Day" , this is very clean without leaving any trace. Not the way to do business with !!

      • +1

        Pretty dodgy, I've filed a cancellation and also if they don't cancel and provide full refund, going to lodge a complaint to the ACCC.

      • oh *&%$ that! we had better not have to bear the postage costs for this if it is the wrong item.. I sent off a query, hopefully I get a good response, find out today hopefully, although it said up to 2 days response time.

  • It is "illegal" to send a different item to the one you ordered isn't it?

    • I ordered two this afternoon. I believed me and many other will be like hammer5215, received one that is not the same as in the photo ! As the photo is now updated and nothing mention "extended" in the description. Anyone have the similar experiences before please share.
      I have also launched my complaint, ref: 80036

  • +1

    Damn going to have to cancel as well, how can COTD be so damn dodgy!!

  • If any of you guys get a reply please post it in this thread :)

    • Hey mate I just updated the post

    • Yeah, just got my refund as well.

  • Just spoke to COTD via CHAT. They are going to refund everyone.

    • How do you chat to them? I can only submit a ticket, and they still haven't replied yet!

      • if you log in with a registerd account, you get the chat option.

  • Yep just cancelled mine. What a shame.

  • Ordered 2, and just recieved a full refund. Came here to check what the latest was.
    Hadnt noticed my order said Single Monitor Arm, it was definitly the extended one when I ordered.
    Too bad as I really wanted these to.

  • order canceled, I should have known it is always a waste of time dealing with COTD

  • you can still get the extended one from officeworks!!!

    ;)

    • Out of Stock @ OfficeWorks..

  • just received an update from COTD. See their email below :

    You recently purchased the Kensington Monitor Arm from Catch of the Day in your order #<blah blah blah>.

    Unfortunately, we put the incorrect photo on the advert which depicted a different model of Kensington arm. We will therefore be refunding you the purchase price, including shipping. You should see the full refund appear in the account used for purchase within the next 2-3 business days.

    The item is still on sale and now has the correct photos so please use the link below to have a look and repurchase if you wish.

    If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our Customer Service Team via the Help Centre (https://helpcentre.catchoftheday.com.au).

    The Catch Of The Day Team

  • The refund was quick, I think a big round of applause to hammer5215 and strat to pointing out the problems.

    I got a refund before it was dispatched, excellent.
