    If they don't try to resolve this I'll be creating a topic on whirlpool which will probably be listed as one of the first links on google search engine for their site. I'll make sure the title makes other potential customers know of their service and stay clear. That's if BOBSURUNCLE doesn't start responding.

    A title such as "ALWAYSONSALE.COM.AU Stay away from them" would be suffice to damage their rep.

    I had 2 orders, 1 for 1 and 1 for 4 (first order was for 1 not 5 by mistake).

    They cancelled my 2nd order, however still charged me 6 dollars for it.

    Right now they have 9$ of my money, and I have nothing (my order for 1 says on order despite me ordering in the first few mins).

    Calling Visa and putting in a dispute (this costs them money). I suggest others who have been wronged do the same.

    Still nothing here…no; torch, email or refund just "on order"
    They are all gone, right?

    Maybe Bob is going to make some kind of damage-control effort to actually fulfill the original promise…?

    Received 1 Maglite and only gave me $10 store credit to compensate for missing 4 Maglites.
    I want my money back instead!…

    ABSOLUTE SCAM, AVOID Always On Sale!!…

  • bartracer on 23/03/2010 - 12:12

    just phoned them again they will give me all the money i paid out
    but only if i post the one i got back to them.

    now i live 20min from post office
    how do i post it to them at no cost to me using a freepost slip from them?

    i think i need to get a big box and fill it with 19kg of padding to protect there free maglite then put freepost slip on it .

    Please pass this comments to your Management

    We are banning Always On Sale from now on, might have lost $3 but you have lost approx 500 prospected customer

    Obviously a scam based on other comments here. Glad it became sold out before I could order one.

    Oh well, if anyone's wondering, you can revoke your vote by clicking "votes" above, scroll down to your nick, then click the revoke vote option.

    just tryed but can not

    cannot revoke a vote that is more than 72 hours old

    bugger

    Can a MOD change my vote ??

    • Livert on 23/03/2010 - 15:38

      Didn't know that. Maybe something to be reconsidered by the mods. Post something in the feedback forum maybe. Meanwhile, lets just say my -ve vote was done on your behalf :P

      Removed positive, only Scotty can change to negative though.

      Just discovered this thread. If anyone has any issues with votes, banning etc, please use the REPORT button or post in the forums.

        Hi Neil. Just curious. What is the basis of only being able to change your vote within the first 72 hrs?

        • neil on 23/03/2010 - 23:27

          Hmmm. Good question. I can speculate but I think Scotty will know the answer for sure.

        • scotty on 25/03/2010 - 00:03

          Explained in this old Forum Thread. Basically to prevent people from removing the old votes which mess up some of the rating system. Currently it's 72 hours.

          I am closing this thread so if you have any question, feel free to post to that thread in the forum.

      • bartracer on 23/03/2010 - 22:41

    BAN "ALWAYS ON SALE" PLEASE..!!

    I only get one MAG-Lite with the letter saying their out of stock..

    this is definitely a ADVERTISE & BAIT SCAM..

    Should be reported to the ACCC…

    or Current Affair

    If you paid by CC, is there any reason why you can dispute it? Given that you didn't get what you paid for. I'm voting this 'negative' to support the community!

    i didnt want one but i wanted 5…far out this is stupid…..if they were ebay they would be spammed with bad feedback….very disapointed…my plan was to give it to family as matching gifts….FAILED

      • [Deactivated] on 24/03/2010 - 08:02

        what the b hell does a neg vote now achieve?? Nothing the deals ended only ones coming here are those who have already been burnt. USE THE REPORT FUNCTION SO US MODS CAN HELP YOU, like we will try to do now.

  • Bamboo on 23/03/2010 - 15:28

    Damm, wish I could change mine now too.

  • SydGuy on 23/03/2010 - 16:53

    Has anyone actually got a refund on their credit card for the cancelled orders yet?

  • tsandu on 23/03/2010 - 19:58

    eww i also received only 1.. and a promise to get refund of $3 back.. definetely not happy..

  • myeewyee on 23/03/2010 - 20:34

    To all those people shouting scam & bloody murder .. I don't disagree with you on principle, but did you actually want a maglite or did you just order 5 to get, essentially, free shit? How many of you would have purchased 1 for $3 in the first place?

    They've definitely mucked this up and I won't be buying from them in future, however at the end of the day I've got a nifty little torch in my hands for an unbeatable price .. it's not all bad.

  • pspman on 23/03/2010 - 20:45

    didnt order one, and am happy i didnt, dont want these scammers on ozbargain though

    • maybeamacy on 23/03/2010 - 21:23

      I didn't order one either, however I concur with the argument of which you have made.

  • applebyte on 23/03/2010 - 22:21

    so…. mine is "on order" and I paid by cc… will they at least initiate the refund, or do I have to hassle them to get my money back?

    ps, if a mod sees this, please remove my +ve vote…

  • tsandu on 23/03/2010 - 22:40

    arghh.. i filled in the form to get the $3 refund.. now i have an email, with broken links saying to scan the receipt, and snail mail it to a place in north sydney..they want me to waste $10 worth of effortm and money to get the $3 refund which is only a partial refund.. this is not right… has anyone taken this further ?

    • maybeamacy on 23/03/2010 - 23:30

      From the comments above some people called them up and had to talk to a few people and they eventually refunded them.

  • Obs on 24/03/2010 - 00:03

    Maybe a hall of shame or flagging system is required. That way future deals from this rep/business is red flagged so that more ppl are not suckered in and those that are, are clearly warned about what they are getting into. Simply a SCAM, no other way of putting it!

      Øbs (and all others here) - there is - for the future, ITS called the REPORT button. You can report a scam spam abuse etc. You can give reason why and it alerts mods to take action. neg voting an expired deal doesnt even come on our radar.

      Or use the forums, especially talk with a mod so we can also be alerted. This particular forum is a discussion between us and the poster only so its "anonymous to the rest of the community.

      Or continue this is the forums where tsandu has started a thread

      http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/23558

      PLEASE NO MORE DISCUSSIONS HERE GO to Tsandu's thread by clicking link above, so discussions can take place where it will now have the most effect and benefit for the WHOLE community, which is in the thread that tsandu started.

      Now understand. This is NOT to stop these very valuable arguments, its to move them to the place where it can now have more effect. Many who never saw this deal, wont see the arguments or points under this thread - we as mods never saw it until seeing tsandu's forum post.

      Most times only those who originally read something will go and visit an expired post.

  • rack on 24/03/2010 - 08:13

    Lucky i didnt order anything from them but if i were you.

    Step 1: Dont return the item.
    Step 2: Call your bank and do a chrageback for item not recieved.
    Step 3: Deny ever receiving the item. I am preety sure the item didnt come through registered post.
    Step 4: If none of the above works, stop asking others to contact ACCC and do it yourself. This will really
    make them feel sorry.

    I think this is a definate scam as not even 1 person got 5 torches.

      BTW you might want to make the same post there to get things started and help .

    • [Deactivated] on 24/03/2010 - 08:20

      What?? Did you read my post just above yours?? so why are you still posting here?

      Sorry but if we are going to help you people lets get the posts where they can do the most good. If you and other's dont dont read the post above, then think about it, are people likely to read your post either?

      But to answer myself, guess they wont even read this post - I give up!!
