The Wonder Chair is a lightweight and comfortable chair which features an easy fold system, heavy duty steel frame, reinforced eyelets, water resistant, storage bag and carry strap, sturdy leg base for stable ground footing and a drink bottle holder.
My fiancee and I got less than a weekend away and I'm the heaviest at 80kg by far…
LOL… you're only supposed to SIT in it… it's not meant for hanky panky…
So that's why they didn't last!
Well they should put warning labels on them…a lawsuit waiting to happen ;)
well played!!!
I thought he said his fiancée was 80kg, either lose it or leave it!
not sure they should call them 'Wonder Chairs' if they're that flimsy…
So, you're Wondering why they did?
It's a "Wonder" of they last the weekend.
Or maybe it was Big W saying "I WONDER if we can get away with selling these crap chairs"
Yeh these are one-use-only chairs. Something to consider for environmentally conscious people! (this chair comes all the way from China, gets used once, and takes years and years to break down!)
These have been $6 for a very long time.. just letting people know in case they jump in thinking WOW $5!
Yep saving about $1 - $1.50
$6 with free shipping?
Grabbed 2 for the hell of it. End of night just chuck them in the fire =).
LOL
ahaha thats hilarious i'd probably do the same lol
excellent! Kudos to you 2stroksmokr, laughed so hard.
awww I'm being serious too lol….Seem to do it with alot of these chairs. Wood was wet last time so we just burnt the wooden seat we had. Shoulda rethought that one =D bit more expensive than $5
We've done that before. Ended up burning our table too. Half an hour later we were sitting on wet grass eating fire cooked potatoes.
Worth it in my opinion (just cut up some iron bark and made a new table).
The metal frame won't burn too well although the toxic fumes from the burning plastic may make you forget about being cold ;-)
Free delivery is not working for me (trying to charge me $14 postage) anybody else?
Ok so turns out it no free delivery for black (well for me anyway) but free postage for the blue ones.
Are you trying to do say 1 Black and 1 Blue? If so it takes it as another delivery and adds on. Just bought 2 blue couldn't be bothered. However you could order 1 pay then order 2 and pay to get around the shipping costs problem.
Oh and on top of that you have to select the colours available which is only blue and black.
yeah I got that too when I tried to order 2 wonder chairs with different colours in the same order.
when I deleted one of the colours and put two of the same in an order it didnt have any postage charge.
so guessing if u want more then 1 chair with different coolours then u have to order them separately…
I think that kind of makes sense. One of the many wonders of the Wonder chair is that it is basically weightless, until added to another Wonder chair, at which time it acquires some weight, for postal purposes.
Cant get free delivery happening. I am only ordering 1.
I couldn't either with the black ones but ordered 2 blue ones with free delivery.
Thanks. Ordered the blue and it worked :)
No Wonder :(
ROFL nice pun :D
Its not free delivery for me charging $14 no thanks.
Big W are liars this comes after Ridge Racer PSP was "free delivery" yesterday but wanted to charge $6 at checkout.
I got Blue and Burgandy coming up with free delivery. Black was charged, and all the rest were unavailable.
They must be losing a fortune of these as it would cost more than $5 to ship these, they are quite big.
only save $1.84 haha
not free shipping
I got free shipping $10 for 2 total!
See above:
"I got Blue and Burgandy coming up with free delivery. Black was charged, and all the rest were unavailable."
i got 4 chairs, totaling $27, bargain still only works out $7 a chair :D
If this did not include the free shipping. You should have processed the first ones and got free shipping or done individual ones :)
me too. Liar. Not free shipping.
ONLY BLACK IS AVAILABLE ONLINE!
All other colours are full price, at a normal Big W retail shop.
They weren't when the listing came on. 3.5 hours ago Blue and Burgundy were available too, and it's possible more colours were available prior to that. They're just selling out.
And for some reason, it's now NOT FREE ANYMORE!
$7 Delivery.
Makes it $12 per chair.
Not $5.
SCAM!
Fool. If you haven't bothered to read this whole thread, it varies from state/area. Jesus……still free my end. It is nearly 4 hours ago.
Black doesn't have free delivery. Blue does.
I ordered three in blue and three in burgundy about 4 hours ago for $30 delivered.
You missed out. Suck it up.
ease up on the caps lock button. in all four of you posts within your 3 hours history on ozbargain, you have managed to fit in at least one word that is all caps.
and honestly, i don't understand your logic.
not free shipping
I really am wondering if anymore people will post this..
Yes, you already said that above. Still not right.
These sell for about $8 in store. How the heck does BigW manage to ship it anywhere for $5 including the product without making a heavy loss? These things aren't exactly featherweight either.
As a WOW shareholder I hope it's worth the extra sales/advertising this product may bring…
I'm guessing that they have some credit with their couriers! They might have a contract to ship Xkg per month at a fixed rate. Hence when they come up short, they just sell reams of paper or these chairs with free shipping :)
ah, too hard, I give up.
i paid with paypal, and got a confirmation, but then it was meant to switch back to big w and the page crashed - so my credit card has been charged but haven't received a confirmation from big w
Too bad, they've changed now and attempted to charge me A$7 shipping.
"Currently unavailable online" - Looks like all colours sold out.
I don't understand why people are voting negative for comments which say "no free shipping". When I tried it added $7 shipping, so maybe it works for some people and not for others. Don't vote negative for comments just because it worked for you.
I think every colour is sold out…
"Online only special. Includes free delivery. Ends April-18.
Currently unavailable online"
Its an online special, that is currently unavailable online.. its very special!!
Got my tracking updated. Coming from Sydney 2 seperate packages. In rural area so cost them a bit
black is back in stock - but still charging del fee -so i called them and they put it in the system for me -$5 inc del

Can you let us know after you get out of hospital with your broken coccyx
They may seem like a bargain but they are VERY poorly made.
My fiancee and I got less than a weekend away and I'm the heaviest at 80kg by far…
Won't neg the deal though as it may have just been a bad batch ;)
