Boxing Day 2018 Discussion. Catalogues + Sales, Opening Hours

• 

  kerfuffle on 20/12/2018 - 17:20

  Interesting that DJs are opening from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. rather than 5 a.m. to midnight 🤔 Wonder if the new EBA has anything to do with that.

    Yeah, noticed that. Also Target has moved most of their opening times from 7 to 8AM. I would say there isn't as many people who go in very early for bargains physically anymore to justify the extra spend for staff.

    South Australia for the first time is opening up early for Boxing Day. Previously, most of the shops were closed on Boxing day or open 11AM so good step in the right direction.

  The words “Up To” should be banned from Ozbargain. Just because a store has one item at 50% off does not mean they can advertise a whole sale as “UP TO 50% OFF!!!!!”

  • 

    Moderatorneil on 20/12/2018 - 19:58

    It is not permitted for deals unless an example bargain is given.

    Deal Posting Guidelines:

    Deal posts that reference a sale, catalogue or store but don't provide enough information to find at least one bargain, may be unpublished. Deal posts that contains ambiguous or non descriptive titles such as 'up to 50% off sale', 'big clearance' or 'sale' may be unpublished unless specific items are mentioned within the deal description OR a dedicated offer/discount such as '50% off sale' is present (preferably in the title).

      I see many up to in that list above, so guess your allowing them without an example

      • 

        Moderatorneil on 21/12/2018 - 10:01

        This is a list and discuss on Boxing Day, not a deal. Some listed don't have anything written at all.

        If you post a deal, then the poster must make mention to what the bargain is with an example

    • 

      Halo375 on 21/12/2018 - 11:27

      Thank you for your clarification. I wasn’t making a formal challenge to the deal. More, just a general rant about stores misleading customers.

      • 

        Moderatorneil on 21/12/2018 - 11:36

        Yes, I agree. We get a few those deals daily that we either have to figure out what the deal is and edit it or remove them. Certainty frustrating for all parties.

  phunkyfeelone on 24/12/2018 - 00:17

  I assume you can do click and collect for stores that have that option?
  Sale prices published on XMas day, click and collect for Boxing Day or another not so nuts day?

    Either their site is buggy or this is not true. Looking at thermometers and the Braun ones are not on sale. And does not look like it fits their exclusion list a well.

        Yeah it is confirmed but its not 'everything outside the exclusion list'.

        or this - https://www.babybunting.com.au/snuza-pico-movement-monitor.h…

        Still full price even after adding to cart.

          humdingaling on 26/12/2018 - 11:29

          @madmo: the fine print is so fine and because its a dodgy image slider you cannot copy and paste it

          ** Excludes items on their best buy range (how/where/what this list contains they dont seem to publish) and stuff on stork catalogue and whole lot of other stuff you probably wanted to buy

          so basically things that never go on sale will continue to be not on sale and stuff that is constantly on sale will be marked back up (some would be back to full RRP) so you can take the 20-30% off (or some minor discounts may be found)

          cant really blame them…others have just crumbled around them so we aren't really spoilt for choice e

          *baby bounce
          *toys/Babies R us
          *babySavings
          *bubs baby (last year)

          • 

            madmo on 26/12/2018 - 12:03

            @humdingaling: Yup but their marketing is misleading considering the items I posted are not listed as Best Buy (eg. the Britax Millenia Car seat is listed as Best Buy on their site) nor are they even on the Stork catalogue.

            Agree, they need more competition and the independents just cannot compete.

            • 

              humdingaling on 26/12/2018 - 21:25

              @madmo: they must of heard you talking about them behind their backs

              its now listed as $119.96..which is about 20% off RRP
              slightly better than $120.49 @ chemist warehouse

              but if you really want it
              currently 84.96 @ Amazon

                @humdingaling: LOL, thanks for the update. I actually purchased it off Chemist Warehouse on eBay this morning with a further 10 percent off. There are some really cheap ones on eBay at around 60 bucks but was concerned with these as might not be genuine products.

                I am guessing someone from BB is actually reading this forum!

      I just saw the banner, I can’t comment if it’s true or not.

      But go in store andpoint out the advert and the item you see that isn’t discounted and I reckon you have a case of getting it reduced. Unless they can point out where it says it’s exlcuded.

  So I went around the shopping centre this arvo, went to Kmart, target, H&M, uniqlo, Myer, David Jones, Coles and woolies. I wanted a high quality fluffy Santa hat but didn’t find any. I was tempted to buy some tinsel but I could get them off eBay for $1 next year. Bought nothing except two pizzas marked down to $1.79 and 2x six tarts for 60 c. H&M has some good sale items but already bought them a few weeks ago.
