        But that post didn't state 'Free' + Conditions… it was purely free

          I think this is better than purely free, how many people would just get it but have no use for if it was purely free, a waste of resources and then those that would make use of it miss out. You also get the feel good from donating to those less fortunate who then also get a benefit of this deal. Great deal Atish.

          Original title:

          Notice the excessive FREE statements?

          So you are upset about him saying free twice instead of once? I think that's still pretty easy to understand in its original form and my comment happily stands for either post heading.
          Just curious have you commented on any BOGOF deals that they aren't free? because I see some parallels there but think this one has more right to claim free than they do.

          Why would I? They're making it clear you need to buy something, not leaving it till the very end of the post to make reference to it.

          Oh and it was 2x 'free', 2x '$0. Bit excessive when there is a cost involved.

          @Spackbace:
          Bit excessive, perhaps, but I think it's a non-issue in the scheme of things and it would appear from votes the vast majority agree with me, I don't think that would change much if the post was left in its original form either. Whether it's at the beginning or towards the end of the heading I think is semantics as long as it's in the heading.

        I don't think a standard sized envelope would fit an optical cable (it might fit earphones, but would exceed auspost's thickness requirements).

        What size envelope do you actually need?

        • Store Repatish digitalcinema @ Digital Cinema on 14/06/2016 - 16:37

          the optical cable packaging is about the same size as the earphones
          13cm x 18cm x 3cm

          @atish digitalcinema: OP - so would this fit within a standard sized envelope? Also would you do this for me (I'm from the other side of sydney)…Thanks! :)

          @homersyd:

          No.

          "Letter post" max thickness is 2cm.

          Therefore you need "parcel post". Go buy a 500g satchel (22cm x 35cm). Which costs $8.25 regular / $10.55 express. I presume self address it, then put it in an envelope and send to the address above. Don't forget to organise with Atish to hold one.

          You're very lucky if Atish doesn't mind doing this. If I was him, I would have said no.

          Still a bargain at that price.

          @justtoreply:

          Actually large letter's max thickness is 20mm. You can get large letter boxes on ebay that would easily fit this size and you can easily put the optical cable inside.

    Can probably claim tax on the donation too.
    How good are these earphones?

    • blighst on 14/06/2016 - 17:09

      Ah yes you can (I think) because you only need to show the receipt - not give them money as the 'donation' so there was no exchange for product.

    I remember last time we had a few gronks complaining that it was not free and things of that nature. I was really getting sick of these low lives and losing faith in ozb. That afternoon a guy walked into claim a free set of earphones and presented his receipt of a $50 donation. Faith restored

    • NosDan on 14/06/2016 - 17:58

      fwiw maybe the key is in the wording? "make a $5 donation to registered charity and get a free ___________" rather than the way around you have it?

      "something free, but there is a catch" as you have seen dosnt go down too well with some people because of so many other dodgy businesses doing similar and catching people out. "donate and you get something free" may go down better.

      • illumination on 14/06/2016 - 18:06
        +2

        See that's the thing about this one though. It's a donation that you're making straight to the charity. There's nothing shady about this and I think for that, they are excused from the standard shady marketing practices. It's pretty clear what's going on here.. I have no issue with their wording because it's clear this has nothing to do with deceiving people or making money.

        • NosDan on 14/06/2016 - 18:18
          +7

          while i completely agree its just a way to give the whiners less to whine about..

          but when people read "free" there is an expectation, specially on here, that its going to actually be zero cost and while in this case the money isnt going to the seller it is still technically not free because it costs people $5.

        • Serapis on 15/06/2016 - 14:18

          @nosdan: Technically but approach in dealing with this matters as well… could've just nicely messaged the OP and have them change the title to something like "_____ for minimum $5 donation"

          Instead they choose to flatly complain/whinge/argue so i totally get where OP is coming from. That's why we can't have nice things.

          See sometimes we also get sick of changing store reps titles, adding the store name in etc… you know, basic shit? The stuff that's left up to Mods/Power Users to fix, over and over and over and over again. There should be no need to PM after a rep has posted this much, but apparently there is. Just look at the revision history, the original post was lacking basic details, details that have always had to be added to this rep's posts.

          Sometimes people just don't learn, and expect others to fix their mistakes. These people shit me. It's not a difficult task once you've posted a few deals, to know what is required. Instead they just start attacking members (statements that have since been deleted by mods, alleging someone will fake a receipt to get the item.)

    • lonewolf on 15/06/2016 - 14:58

      I believe what may have happened last time if memory serves me correct was that it was advertised as free with a donation but it sounded like stocks were limited and so by the time you rock up with the donation receipt you were not guaranteed of getting the free item… Or it was something like that which some people felt was more like a chance / lottery.

      I think making people to go through the process of donating to a charity is an experience of itself. Also chance of donating more if they chose to otherwise. I don't need these items and going to Auburn is a trek for me but upvoted this deal for such a cool concept.

      Also, 'black box' syndrome. People don't know if their money was kept or donated.

      I suppose Atish could post the receipt. But then some people would argue against him saying he took the tax deductions etc..

      Personally I think Atish did it the right way!

  • avgbowlofpho on 14/06/2016 - 19:29

        I measured them using Vibro Veritas and StarTech ICUSBAUDIO2D with my own roughly compensated data.

        All my Xiaomi measurements closely match innerfidelity's raw measurements and audiobudgets.

        Denon AH-C260:
        +Bass is okay and not overbearing

        +Packaging is very nice

        -Plastic build quality
        -Ear tips feel thin and wobbly unlike xiaomi's
        -Dust filter looks cheap unlike xiaomi's metal grills
        -Won't satisfy people who like bass eg. ATH-M50x and Sony owners.

    Ok so some guy just came in wanting a to claim a free optical cable, he pulls out a raffle ticket which he already went in the draw to win something with and then when I asked him when he purchased the raffle ticket, he replied last month. He wanted to benefit twice off a dodgy raffle ticket. Some people don't understand the meaning of charity.
