Hi,

Following the other deal that expired very quickly, it seems that a lot of people are looking for cheap masks.

Not affiliated with the seller, but it's the cheaper I found on ebay.
Alternative seller (I bought from this one Monday and received it on Friday, but the bulk buying discount is a bit lower) : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/50x-Disposable-Mask-Face-Masks-A…

Both are located in NSW, couldn't find a cheap seller in VIC.

And if you buy them, please have a quick search on how to wear them properly ;)

Cheers

Edit: Price now $14.80 (down from $15)

          CCP propaganda machine has infiltrated ozbargain. Sure kn95 should be equivalent but there have been so many tests that say the crap coming out of China atm is all fake and doesn't meet the standard. It just has kn95 stamped on it. Up to you if you want to pay more for a false sense of security

            @roozmik: You can't call KN95 crap because there are fakes being produced with KN95 on them.

            There are probably fake P2 and N95 masks being sold so are all masks with those ratings crap too?

              When it comes to health, best to err on side of caution.

              But to be fair, if they can prove it's been tested and not flooding out of some junk factory, kn95 me!

                Just like you seem so sure they are good.

                Don't take my word for it, take 3Ms, it was in my original post which you probably didn't read. I'll make it easier for you

                According to mask manufacturer 3M, “it is reasonable to consider” China’s KN95s “equivalent” to US N95s. Mask standards for Europe (FFP2), Australia (P2), Korea (KMOEL), and Japan (DS) are also highly similar.

                When it comes to health, best to err on side of caution.

                It's even better not to spread lies and misleading information.

                  @spaceflight: I'm not arguing with you that kn95 standard is not equivalent.

                  I'm saying you would pretty much have to be a fool if you're paying a premium for a kn95 mask that hasn't been tested/guaranteed to filter 95% of particles.

                  E.g. Office Works have plenty of kn95 masks that they say as being for "non medical use". No one selling these masks will accept any liability. They don't dare even say it "should" filter out 95%. They're irresponsibily using the standard "kn95" as a marketing tool.

More that we should be looking at products objectively and not simply attacking them for being defective or faulty based on the country of origin and more to the fact, anyone who wants to point out some facts that incidentally supports or defends a Chinese made product shouldn't be merely labelled as a 'CCP sympathiser or bot', which tends to be an alt-right trait these days.

                      A proper surgical mask is usually made of three layers, including an outer hydrophobic non-woven layer, a middle melt-blown layer, and an inner soft absorbent non-woven layer.

                        It is a gamble imo, and 2x quilton 3 ply may end up a better alternative. However not an exorbitant amount of money to lose considering the situation.

                  This cheap mask cannot guarantee 100% protection but why not at least increase the possibility? Nowadays, people have over-rated their own "freedom", which is never thinking about personal responsibility to the whole society.

You just chose whatever you want to believe, however, at the country level, there is NO real truth, the very good examples are what Trump daily speeches said vs what the USA is really experiencing right now.

          • [Deactivated] on 05/07/2020 - 12:22

            @roozmik: Yep. Unfortunately due to lax regulation and oversight consumers have to cross their fingers and hope for the best when it comes to test/standards labels on some chinese products. We've see examples exposed on Ozb in the past including iirc hand sanitizer claiming to comply with a number of international standards, one of which was a random electronics standard. Perhaps the gel contained nanotech receiver particles, who knows? The seller didn't attempt to defend the claims when challenged. Some shonks will do anything they can in order to impress/fool potential buyers. Far too much of that nonsense sadly.

          • [Deactivated] on 05/07/2020 - 18:07

            @roozmik: That used to be relevant, but China has implemented export restrictions that require any shipments of masks to be accompanied by certification documentation. Fake masks should be in the vast minority, if they exist at all (provided they were exported after April)

          As per the comments above.. No one is arguing with you regarding the standard itself.

          The standard is fine. But adhering to the standard is a different story.

          There have been many examples of masks that have been sold as "KN95" rated and have shown some form of accreditation from somewhere.. But have failed the tests.

          Again. No one is arguing about the standard it self. It's about who is regulating the accreditation of the standard, auditing manufacturers and holding them accountable to adhere to standards. To provide consumers the comfort and guarantee that if they purchase the product, it meets the standard and not just some non tested product with a stamp on it.

      If we had true airborne virus, no.

      But since the virus travels via mouth aerosol, even a single piece of cotton cloth would be a significant step toward stopping you spread it to others.

      Here is an article on masks and their effectiveness

    The idea is to stop you from spreading the virus when you cough or sneeze but very limited on not catching the virus from someone else.

    • TEER3X on 04/07/2020 - 22:35

      Virus travels in aerosols and droplets so a mask can actually prevent you from catching the virus. There's new evidence out that supports this.

      They're not 100% but it doesn't hurt to wear one to protect yourself and others. Especially since we know that asymptomatics can spread the disease.

        lol, Nope it was a scammer who tried to sell unbranded low quality masks worth no more than $10. I intially paid $350 for them.
        He also lied about mask specification.

        The seller lied about the shipping location and delivery time. The buyer might urgently need those masks. The seller deserved to be banned.

    Those cheap and low-quality masks sold on eBay are most likely come with no proper package, no-brand, and no certification. Face masks should be considered as medical products. Only buy from the resource you can trust.

      True if you're in the medical field but considering the recommendation is for any face covering then these should be a good risk minimization exercise.

      Fair point if you are using them for proper medical use. That said, most people here are probably going to use them on public transport or work environments, which will certainly be a good thing in terms of mitigating virus spread.
      Someone already beat me to the post. Anyway I bought 2x packs. Good value.

      I recently saw a video of a sweatshop in India making masks and no way would I buy any without knowing their origin. They looked similar to the ones in this deal.

        For those negging, go right ahead and gamble on face masks without knowing anything about their origin. But for those who do care about what they strap to their faces, it would be prudent to consider that some unbranded, unspecified masks may originate from a factory (lol) such as seen in this clip.

        • King Tightarse on 05/07/2020 - 20:24

          Wow that is absolutely disgusting.
          Shows what a sham the whole blue cloth mask game is

    • davidl2 on 04/07/2020 - 23:50

      well said!

      (said the same to my friends/relatives in Feb/March while sourcing mask for them)

    • foxmulder on 05/07/2020 - 01:01

      I bought one similar priced in Amazon and the strings were easily fall off. I guess around 5-7 out of 12. I get money back without product return.

    They're not surgical masks. Don't think they're good enough.

    • spaceflight on 05/07/2020 - 10:46

      They have the same (claimed) construction of a surgical mask.

      A proper surgical mask is usually made of three layers, including an outer hydrophobic non-woven layer, a middle melt-blown layer, and an inner soft absorbent non-woven layer.

      • Love a bargain on 05/07/2020 - 13:08

        It's not the mere construction but the accrual filtration efficiency that matters.

    • team teri on 05/07/2020 - 00:13

      1 month delivery, so overseas stock

    • cmyk on 05/07/2020 - 03:52

      Looks like a misleading seller with poor product and not as pictured (ear band)

    • marcozmitch on 07/07/2020 - 16:28

      The review on-line for the Amazon ones suggests these don't have proper elastic for the ears?

    these are not good for Coronavirus!

    try gift these to medical personnel/hospital, they don't want it!

    • bn030687 on 05/07/2020 - 13:38

      Becuase the supplier needs to be approved by some government body, as with all medical supplies. Regardless of the "quality" of the mask

    • MasterScythe on 05/07/2020 - 01:16

      We can, our main supplier was recently staffed by military for 24hr shipping to hospitals.
      They did an amazing job.
