Rhianna is back again - although the price is not as great as the last time I posted, but it is still a fantastic price for such a high-quality umbrella.

Bought mine in the beginning of January. Melbourne hasn't had much rain to test but I have used twice:

1- The 'automatic' feature works as described - it isn't original but it is really nice to have. When it is raining and you're hurrying to get out of the car to run for the train, that one-second click to prop it open is so satisfying :)

2- The water-repellent material is indeed amazing. Credit to BlazinPast's comment from the previous deal. Here is the Youtube video with water repellent demo. Here is the link to my original post if you'd like to read in detail.

Only about 300 stock. Flashsale link so don't forget to use CashRewards link:

      I bought 3 Woodworms on a deal here about 2 years ago.

      Fantastic things, they don't last that long where I live due to me walking out in really strong wind and rain but I still have 1 left and by crikey they were cheap at the time like about 9 bucks each for 3 delivered.

      I wonder if they still do deals with Woodworms?

        • decr on 13/03/2018 - 14:14

          @smartazz104: mine are still going strong, best deal ever. They survived the Brissy golf ball storms (how fitting), very happy with them still.

    • evolution-flip on 12/03/2018 - 18:42

      Agreed. A pretty useless umbrella even in normal wind or rain conditions. Back to my Ultra reliable Woodworm brolly.

      My umbrella of choice, 10 years old and hasn’t missed a beat. Sometimes when the wind is strong the umbrella does a Mary Poppin and can drag you where the wind blows.

      Reckon if your light enough you would be moved off your feet.

      I recommend a Chinese brand call Heaven/paradise. It cost me AU$5 to bought from China. It is so strong that does not flip in strong wind. The two I bought had already been use for 8 years.

      I miss the old Korjo ones that Officeworks had. Had mine in Melbourne for 3 years now, still going strong.

      Doesn't have vents, just easy to flip back if it goes inside out. But it's done that maybe twice in the time I've owned it.

      hi mate, very apologize for this bad experience, here is the situation: when our warehouse have stocks, even for 1 stocks. the system will auto show shipping in 24 hours information and i can't change it for now.

      so some times when user bought an item which have for example 100 stocks. and in the mean time we get around 150 orders, then will delayed some users order. that's why i always told user if their order not send out in 3 business day, pm me to check the order status, i'm always online and offer support

      They are slowly improving. Think of sites like Zapal (mainly for less than $1 freebies now), DD4… - surely LITB is currently above these guys?

      Good point. I am still waiting on my umbrella from the January deal. I messaged LITB customer service and they told me to wait until 60 days have passed…Not sure what that will accomplish but I think I’m up to day 55 or so now so here’s to waiting!

      • Doooozy on 13/03/2018 - 06:48

        Just a heads up, they will continue to extend the waiting time after your 60 days have passed. They did that to me a few times and basically refused to follow up even after 3+ months of waiting and my tracking ID expiring. That's why I call their customer "service" a joke.

      It does okay, but if you're in Melbourne then you'd know how bad the weather can get - it can be very very windy I don't think any other umbrella could better.

      For the price, this offers great value. I'm happy with mine.

  • asa79 on 12/03/2018 - 21:11

    Does it automatically close?

    • sky blu on 12/03/2018 - 21:42

      When you press the button when the umbrella is open, it collapses but you'll have to push the rod in yourself.

      It's mechanical after all.

      • asa79 on 12/03/2018 - 21:48

        So similar to the cheap target/kmart ones

        • sky blu on 12/03/2018 - 21:49

          If you put that way, yes. Similar is the keyword here.

        • xoom on 12/03/2018 - 22:41

          @sky blu: they do exist. My sister bought me one. Might have been from Taiwan Or was it Japan. Shame I broke the autoclosing mechanism by once forcing the umbrella to close manually. Not sure. Just check it rainbow as the brand name.

        • sky blu on 12/03/2018 - 22:49

          @xoom: How does the closing action happen? I'd assume it is battery powered.

          +1

          @sky blu: not battery powered. Looks like it worked on an elastic chord inside the umbrella frame and possibly springs also. Only one button to open and close the umbrella.

    Automatic… does it run on battery? Genuinely curious otherwise how does it pop up and collapse with the touch of a button?

    • sky blu on 13/03/2018 - 00:42

      With the push of a button, it automatically extends and opens the umbrella. Pressing the same button again closes the umbrella, but the rods do not automatically retract.

    • ozioziozi on 13/03/2018 - 07:53

      It doesn't use batteries. It's mechanical i.e. uses a spring. There are a few videos on YouTube that show how the umbrella works.
