I know I know, another daily deal, BUT these are Havaianas!!! Everyone, men and women, NEED Havaianas! Ok, not in Winter, but with the warmer weather approaching us next month (hopefully!), our feet will be walking around in style ;-)
I am a BIG fan of these thongs, so have jumped on this deal as soon as i found out (not to mention the +1000's others who have also purchased through both Jump On It and LivingSocial).

Enjoy!

    omg the normal price of these are $35??

      at the end of the day, they still just thongs!

      target sells'em for like $5.

        agree. bought a pair of these scummers last year and they lasted one month. the fronts on them ripped where the hole is

  • JTL on 02/08/2011 - 14:03

    ive never seen Havaianas over $25 a pair…where the hell did they pull $35 each from

      Must be gold plated…

    • caprimulgus on 02/08/2011 - 14:24
      +3

      the ones with the "metallic" writing are about $35. but those aren't part of this deal, so the $70 is BS.

      • Sydneygirl2011 on 02/08/2011 - 15:47

        just checked and the $70 includes their usual shipping cost which is free with this deal so $30 which to be honest is about right….. anyway just bought 2 why not!!!

        • caprimulgus on 02/08/2011 - 16:16

          ok, well fair enough i guess.

      • quickling on 02/08/2011 - 15:36

        It's a bargain though if you want this brand…

        You seems to neg every deal that gets posted here.

        This is a good price for this particular product, if you don't want to buy them move on.

      • Doey21 on 02/08/2011 - 16:16

        I payed 25 bucks for a pair so this is a bargain for me. In the meantime you can wait around for Big W to have those 1 dollar sales, which is also a bargain. But apples and oranges.

          To be fair, it's more like Fujis and Granny Smiths.

    • LittleMiss on 03/08/2011 - 01:01

      you should see how much Havvies sell in places like Singapore…I saw a pair for $80ish SGD!

    $35 for thongs? Geez…

    • kirt on 02/08/2011 - 14:28

      Can anyone tell me why these things are so expensive?

      They even look cheap…

      The real question is, are they double pluggers?

      • DxxP on 02/08/2011 - 14:44
        +2

        I don't know about double pluggers. Havaianas have been the most durable and comfortable (not too soft, not too hard) thongs I've ever worn. They are suitable to go from beach to day wear without looking scrappy. Never buy a cheap pair of thongs again after owning Havaianas. Find something good and stick with it.

        I do prefer the metallic ones though (not on sale here).

        • Radar on 02/08/2011 - 16:45

          I've gone through heaps of thongs, cheap and expensive. I still prefer the white and black double pluger thongs with the little dragons on the black strap.

  • Chongy288 on 02/08/2011 - 14:10

    considering.. but there is such a limited range, brown and blue for blokes…. then again it is cheap…

  • dipis on 02/08/2011 - 14:14
    +1

    At first I thought this was a good deal, but the 6 colours available on the OzThongs site are very limited and well, kinda ugly so doesn't really make the deal as good as it first seems.

  • Ughhh on 02/08/2011 - 14:18

    Designs seem meh. If your'e in Adelaide, check out the Sports & Liquidation sale at the Adelaide Showgrounds. Better Havi designs for $10 a pair, well when I went there a few weeks ago, sale goes to 14th August so should be plenty left.

  • itstuan on 02/08/2011 - 14:23

    where these thongs came from, they cost 50c to make, $35 my ***

          Had to think about that for a sec.

          I think that's excellent value for a donkey ;)

        • itstuan on 02/08/2011 - 14:49

      • quickling on 02/08/2011 - 14:30
        +1

        surely they can't cost that much, it's just plastic with holes punched in and more plastic. But maybe $20 for the ink used to print Havaiana.

  • beccy_babe on 02/08/2011 - 14:33
    +4

    My last pair cost me $30 from a surf store (oh the price we pay for comfy shoes/thongs!!), but i guess if you haven't worn a pair before, you don't really understand what they are really like. WAY better than $2 thongs from the Warehouse etc…!

    • diamondtouch1 on 02/08/2011 - 14:45
      +7

      but if you get 15 of the cheaper thongs, you can make you know, one giant thong?

      • alebox on 02/08/2011 - 15:37

        giant thong means giant feet. and you know what that means ;)

      best comfy thongs i bought were from BigW, $3 and still going strong after 3 years or so.
      However not as "cool" as havaianas.

      But nobody pinches mine when i leave them on the beach though……..

  • altomic on 02/08/2011 - 14:38

    I bought an awesome pair of thongs from sams warehouse.
    they were not the hard "foam" type thongs but more of a spongey type. only $2.
    awesomely comfortable.

    • MattyD on 02/08/2011 - 14:49

      I bought 3 pairs when Rivers had the $2 thong sale - they were the "awesomely comfy spongey types" you described.

      My mate bought a pair of havijayjays (or whatever they're called) around the same time and talked up his $30 thongs.

      I must say, his still look like thongs. All 3 of mine now look like dog chews. No, we don't have a dog.

  • nubzy on 02/08/2011 - 14:45

    Thank the post anyway.

  • Joshyss on 02/08/2011 - 16:27

    was looking for the thing that set these apart from other thongs… doesn't look like anything much really!

  • MrMaxwell on 02/08/2011 - 16:45

    These are the best thongs ever…my last pair lasted me for a year and I put them through hell (1 month during rainy season in Thailand/2 months in London/road trip across the USA). I also stacked my scooter in Thailand and I swear these thongs saved me from ripping my big toe off. BEST. EVER.

  • kspec on 02/08/2011 - 16:47

        How do u check sizes? I just bought 3 pairs! I figured great xmas gifts but what colour will they send me?

  • arctophile on 02/08/2011 - 18:00

    my eyes apparently have tricked me again, few hours ago I thought it was a pair of them for $24, meh, but then I looked at it again it's actually 2 pairs!

    Havaianas are the ultimate in marketting.

    "hey look, heres some thongs worth $2… I think I will write the word Havaiana on them and sell them for $35 a pair."

    Honestly, if you are stupid enough to pay full price for these, you deserve to pay their prices.

    Funny how those who haven't bought them bag them and those who have bought them adore them.

    Anyway just wondering where could I get these for $10-$15 that people have been claiming these go on sale for, also when are these sales? If the next one is at end of summer I might prefer this deal :)

    • Traveller on 03/08/2011 - 11:47

      Wonder no longer - $10 a pair at Powerbuys. Have been for at least a couple of months. $10 shipping per order though, so only better value if you are going to order more than a couple of pairs. Not sure if you can pickup from the Retravison store that runs powerbuys. Here is the link: http://www.powerbuys.com.au/havaiana-beach-thongs.html

    In terms of branded goods in my personal experience, there are two kinds of branded goods (generally, exceptions being the ultraluxe).

    There are branded goods which justify their price mostly with regards to a better quality material, workmanship, detailing, etc., and there are branded goods that just purely rely on marketing.

    While I do see this as a definite bargain, I personally wouldn't take up the offer for the latter categorical reason.

    :D

  • ilikeit on 02/08/2011 - 21:31

    I've owned heaps of these and nothing else comes close for comfort or durability. RRP of $70 for 2, yeah right! More like low 20's. Also, I find the fit/size can be variable between styles.

    These are longer lasting than kmart or cheapie thongs.

    Cheap thongs tend to flatten quickly. I've had a pair of hav's for 3yrs and they still feel like new.

          Just followed what the instructions said (from Jump On It):
          • Visit www.jumponit.ozthongs.com.au to place you(r) order
          • Select your style, colour and size (there are now 9 colours, up from 6)
          • Proceed to your shopping cart
          • Enter <code> into the discount/coupon code field
          • Proceed to checkout

          Done!

          Just logged in to see my update, all dates are in US (says i placed my order 8/4/11 - which was on Thursday, so the 4th)

          I appreciate the help Bec, but a couple things are going wrong:

          -I don't see a code area to enter a voucher into during checkout?

      • beccy_babe on 07/08/2011 - 13:01

        Wonder why that is, that i have the code already (the following day after i made the purchase) and you dont have yours (and mine has also been charged on my credit card). My friend at work also had her code and bought them on Friday..?

    I can't believe how many have been sold - currently 8,326 on LivingSocial, and 11,463 on Jump On It = 19,789 purchases, that means 39,578 pairs of thongs, also 79,156 single thongs, lol. Thats a heck of a lot of rubber!

CANNOT ORDER @ OZTHONGS .. how can i get a refund? this really sux.. they don't even email and tell u the order got cancelled or account was deleted.. has anyone got their thongs yet? or is their order shipped?

  • beccy_babe on 22/08/2011 - 16:26

    I have also requested to cancel my purchase as well (through Jump On It), the deal would have been great if it stopped after a thousand or there-abouts, but they sold about 40,000 thongs and the company cannot keep up with this demand (about 6 weeks waiting). So just cancel it if you don't want to wait!

  • beccy_babe on 25/08/2011 - 11:49

    Was actually going to cancel mine, but have decided to stick around and see how it goes, as the company is trying to do the right thing with sending out the thongs, but they really should have had a limit to how many should have been sold. We will see!

  • Ughhh on 28/08/2011 - 14:10

    lol Looks like they're doing the deal again. http://livingsocial.com/deals/113337-two-pairs-of-havaianas-…

  • MrMaxwell on 05/09/2011 - 14:54

    They seem to be providing updates via their fb page…but no reply to emails or phonecalls. Such a load of crap to save a few bucks on thongs! Once bitten…
