      • GregMonarch on 20/04/2019 - 09:59

        Yeah, after they mark it up first.

        I nearly bought their manual tyre machine during a 40% off sale in Sep 2018, which reduced it to $79.98. I've been watching it since then, waiting for it to drop to that price again. Anyway, the usual price, which has been the same since then, is $139.97. Then a few days ago this sale was announced - and I went and checked if there was anything about the price being reduced in a couple of days time. There wasn't, but it HAD suddenly jumped to $159.99.

        It's currently $119.18 on sale. That's only $20.79 cheaper. So the REAL discount is about 14.85%, not 20%. Businesses that do this should at best be shamed. And if the price goes back to $139.97 they should be fined for false advertising. (Unless they can prove in court the same item sitting on the shelf for 6 months suddenly cost them more - then cost them less again somehow.)

        • Zenith2k3 on 21/04/2019 - 08:42

          Yes true that. The prices don't look like they've dropped at all.

          • GregMonarch on 21/04/2019 - 12:19

            @Zenith2k3: Well, I have sour grapes over that one item. ;-D It's for others to check the items they're interested in. But I have begun the habit of keeping emails or notes in text files listing the sale history of items I want to get - so I can refer to them in future sales. Otherwise businesses could (and obviously do) claim anything they like after a price adjustment ('lie' as far as I'm concerned).

            The percentage-off of this sale sounds good at first, until you check historical prices using old emails or your own notes, only to realise they've had other sales that easily better this one.

            For example: that tyre machine has been on sale several times since Sep 2018. But in this seemingly-huge % off sale - it's the most expensive it's been of all those times, LOL! Just a few months ago it came down to just under $90. So I don't know why they've started this deceptive practice. (Or maybe they always did it and I wasn't aware of it.)

            • Zenith2k3 on 21/04/2019 - 23:17

              @GregMonarch: A similar happened to me with Kogan. They recently had free shipping storewide, and I had been keeping an eye on an exercise bike for some time before this. Come this promotion and the bike magically goes up by a $100. So it was going to cost $50 to buy and ship even with the free shipping promotion.

              • GregMonarch on 22/04/2019 - 00:42

                @Zenith2k3: Kogan at least has 4 cycles as far as I can tell:

                1. Price & shipping the usual price
                2. Price lower, shipping the same
                3. Price up, shipping free (like you said)
                4. Price lower, shipping free

                Number 4 was when I purchased a microwave. I knew I wanted it, so I tracked the price/postage for months until the fourth option came round again. ;-)

        • Maverick-au on 21/04/2019 - 10:42

          And if the price goes back to $139.97 they should be fined for false advertising. (Unless they can prove in court the same item sitting on the shelf for 6 months suddenly cost them more - then cost them less again somehow.)

          Why would they have to prove it in court, are you going to take them to court? Because if you're not they won't be there. They will just say that the price on the shelf was discounted and the 20% was off the regular price and this is assuming that anyone even bothered to act on your complaint.

          • GregMonarch on 21/04/2019 - 11:59

            @Maverick-au: [Sigh…] Where did I say it would be an individual taking them to court? I said it SHOULD BE that way: fines. Fines are not decided by judges in court cases brought by individuals - they're enforcement of written law. And if it was LAW, I can assure you - they'd turn up to court alright.

            Let's face it - it's DECEPTION to mark up a price just you can inflate the amount of discount you can claim - and deception should be illegal. Otherwise they could multiply the usual price by TEN (fully intending to drop it again after the sale) then have an (up to) "90% off" sale!

            That's effectively what they've done here. If one SHOULD BE illegal then the same thing just with different numbers switched in SHOULD BE too.

            Businesses that do this are proving that if they could get away with deceiving and thieving in dozens of other ways - they would do it in a heartbeat. Deception and thievery is their 'default setting'. Scum like them are WHY we have so many government laws, that results in other businesses and manufactures going out of business because it becomes so incredibly difficult to meet them all, that many go under - or never open in the first place.

            • Laserface on 21/04/2019 - 12:49

              @GregMonarch: They do this routinely.

              a Nanocam+ reverse camera system is usually $100. the price wis $109 before the discount, and the 20% applied brought it down to $83.

              today, the price is still showing $109 with no discount, despite being 20% off yesterday.

              Supercheaps prices ALWAYS jump just before a big site/store wide sale.

              • GregMonarch on 21/04/2019 - 13:33

                @Laserface: Ah, ok - thanks. I didn't realize because I've only been noting the final price, not checking their percentages.

                • Laserface on 24/04/2019 - 11:23

                  @GregMonarch: they are now running a 25% off reverse cameras sale, and they are still at the same retail price of $108 with the $16x price listed as the retail price and crossed out.

                  they also removed some models from the website that get better reviews than their store branded products.

        Century are better than the budget Exide that Costco stocks. And for me Costco doesn't stock stop-start batteries for Mazdas.

        But if it's just a regular, cheap battery you need the prices there are hard to beat it's true.

        • Ametric on 18/04/2019 - 16:39

          this is very subjective on the quality, Exide is well known brand and produces good batteries, not sure if you did, but you can try to order the required battery, as I remember they have a catalog there, so just ask to check if there is required one.

        • Splashtash on 20/04/2019 - 09:31

          When u mentioned stop start does that mean Mazda’s need them or it’s a choice ? I purchased one last week and haven’t had it installed yet for my Mazda. Would appreciate the feedback, thanks!

            @Splashtash: cars with stop-start feature need batteries specially made for that from what i've heard

            • Soothsayer on 21/04/2019 - 00:51

              @nushydude: nushydude is right, any car with stop-start needs a special battery for it (i.e. all newer gen Mazdas). These have the CCA and RC beefed up considerably, and it's recommended to match the same type of battery (either AGM or EFB) as the OEM one. If you don't, your stop-start system might have some issues - however some people find the lack of stop-start a good thing..

              Century's battery selector gives the right batteries from their range. For some reason the Exide one does not - I think the right battery from Exide for a Mazda 3 is SSEFB-D23.

      I contacted them and they reapplied the credit to my account, but then it happened again on a different item.

      They didn’t reply to the last request so I’ve given up.

      LOL. Doesn't surprise me. I don't know why for example, people buy batteries from SCA. They're well over the price of places whose main income-earner is car batteries, so SCA is often more expensive even when on sale. Plus you'll get a battery from a place with a higher stock turnover. Meaning it hasn't been sitting on the shelf for months sulfating the plates. Common cars like falcon and commodore not so much because there's more sold. But anything else? I'll pass. I paid less for an AC Delco from the local auto electrician and he delivered it 20km for free.

    • GregMonarch on 20/04/2019 - 10:12

      No, but I wouldn't purchase a cordless tool that isn't frequently used. The battery dies from infrequent use and charging - and then how do you use it. Better off getting one with a cord that lasts a couple of decades than one with a battery that lasts 3 years, and probably goes flat due to reduced capacity anyway, requiring two days of use (time to recharge) instead of one.

      • nuno on 20/04/2019 - 11:47

        i thought the chargers that come out these days are smart enough and you can leave the battery charging without ill-effect.

        • GregMonarch on 20/04/2019 - 18:54
          +1

          Well, less damaging perhaps. But apart from SLA (sealed lead acid) batteries like those used in burgler alarms, trickle charging isn't the best practice. It's more to reduce the charging rate from 'how fast can we kill this battery pack with a full charging rate' until you (still) get around to turning it off.

          Not to mention manufacturers always skimp where they can - and if they've done that anywhere - it's usually on the charger. Add to that 'industry staple', that this item is a cheapie, and that's even more certain.

          Oh sure, they could add $2 in parts and make a great charger that turns completely off after it falls to trickle for 5 minutes, but where's the next sale from a dead battery in that? (Trickle charging still produces some heat - and heat slowly dries out and 'cooks' things. e.g. LiPo cells swell up, and NiCad and NiMH cells boil off moisture in the chemicals, etc.) Chargers can do it - but does theirs? Sadly it's unlikely.

          If someone plans to use an item every few weeks then sure. Rechargeable has the attraction of not tripping over a cable. And if used frequently or at least regularly, cheap devices will probably wear out before the battery pack does. But how often will something like this be used by one person at home on their own car. And where do they get another battery pack once it dies. Just the costs of new cells would equal a new unit with a new battery, and the circle starts again.

          Unless you change cars quite often, you wouldn't want to use something like this more than 2 or 3 times a year. Even the finest grade polish contains some grit that would begin to wear through the paint or clear coat.

          I just think of all the devices like this I've bought over the years, and most of them are flat or too weak to use when I've gone to use them. The battery packs become so reduced in capacity (current - torque), that it seems fine when you test the trigger every so often in your garage and it blinks back 'I'm still ok - still fully charged'… But when it comes time to actually use it for real work they quickly weakened and die. (They can seem ok, but are so weak due to reduced current output, they won't work/rotate when you touch whatever surface you want to polish/drill/grind.) Or if they are 'good', it's only for several minutes instead of the 25 it used to work.

          I'm someone that is able to replace dead/dying cells inside battery packs - the type with welded tabs. Yet I still don't buy them unless it's something I use frequently. (I think) the inconvenience of an extension cord is worth being able to leave a tool unattended for months, but knowing it's going to work all day long that one weekend every 6-12 months.

          Heck, I detest cheap 240V tools like Ozito and Aldi… But I'd even buy one of those over a cordless tool that is used infrequently. Particularly a cheap one they've cut as many corners on as possible to still make a profit.

          All that said, no cord might be really important to you. For me, with something like this, a few seconds to feed the cord through my belt at the back, then over my shoulder and around my wrist (or 30 seconds to string it above the car using a piece of rope tied to a rafter or tree) produces a similar 'cord-free' result. ;-)

        thanks man. Managed to get on eventually, and checkout as guest as opposed to my logged on account. Website has its quirks.

      I've been trying to checkout for 8 hours now with the same thing happening to me. Tried multiple browsers etc.

        What worked for me eventually is to checkout as guest.

    Thanks OP. Stacked with 5% off Gift cards with Macquarie.

    Thanks, saved about $100. Most on special customer orders.

  • Taegukgi on 20/04/2019 - 19:31

    Can special orders be done online or in-store only?

    Got my car replacement battery, it was chaos in the store they really needed to open more than 2 registers but saved a decent amount.

    extended today. Probably due to their checkout balls up yesterday.

  • Sneeze on 21/04/2019 - 08:19

    Sale doesn't seem to apply to everything today. Mainly just special order items.

  • SJDR on 21/04/2019 - 09:35

    Website says 20 -60% storewide still but I cant see anything discounted?

    Non of the car care stuff or the battery i was looking at yesterday are on sale.

    Seems like a giant balls up all round.

    Were all the prices marked at the reduced price yesterday?

    I'm looking at a Meguiar's Soft Buff Synthetic Chamois which is $26.24, I don't know whether thats the normal price or reduced price?

      Yesterday it would have had the original price crossed out and the sale price also displayed.

      Seems they've stuffed it up again.

      Im going to check this afternoon in case they manage to fix it.

    As above. Sale extended online-only from 20.04.19. Today, removed items that were reduced yesterday. "20-60% off everything storewide" banner remains.

      SCA fixed it. Neg, removed. Better late than never.
