    Just make sure these masks have a metal piece to bend around the top for the nose and if so that its encased in a rubber or plastic seal as i had one with bare metal after several washes it broke. Possibly due to poor metal used and rusting over time.

    I still don’t get it why people don’t buy an known effective medical mask than all the crappy non’ s out there that the government is happy for people to buy as it leaves plenty of supplies for essential workers .

    BTW In March the government didn’t want people to buy them for the reason above .

    • Watchandlisten on 25/07/2020 - 11:23

      I agree, people should be making their own informed decisions especially for their own health The government misinformed the public about masks stating that it does not help stop the spread, (no scientific evidence) and that people more at risk catching it due to not being able to use it correctly.

        Actually it is.

        Any covering can reduce the symptoms should you come into contact with the virus.

        https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/california/stor…

        It also covers your face and prevents you touching it, which is an easy transmission method.
        Not touching your face is one of the biggest things you can do to ship me stop yourself catching a virus/cold etc.

        These are some of the reasons the government says you can use a scarf

      Because a medical grade mask is not necessary as the difference may simply be that it is licenced/registered as a medical grade mask.

        Delivery is taking longer than usual and as consequence it may take up to 2 weeks for most of Australia however those in Brisbane and Melbourne usually get items quicker as the two distribution centres are located there.

        • MsC1 on 25/07/2020 - 19:22

          My click and collect order has arrived in the usual time (to Sydney). 👍🏻

    • Eeples on 25/07/2020 - 13:02

      Sure. Why $3 for click and collect?

      • AssociatedJAF @ Cotton On on 25/07/2020 - 13:51
        +6

        The click and collect price ($3 for order under $35 or free for over $35) is due to how this is not a normal click and collect system where an employee in store pick the items. The cotton on click and collect system refers to the items being picked at the distribution centre and then packed in with stock shipments to which ever store you decide to pick up from so the $3 is to justify the shipping cost. It should be noted however that click and collect is no longer available in WA as it took too long to deliver.

        • R-Man on 25/07/2020 - 21:53

          That suggests I can choose any store to click and collect from, but I can't. It only shows the same stores that also show if I click "find in store".

          • AssociatedJAF @ Cotton On on 25/07/2020 - 22:22

            @R-Man: Unfortunately all stores aren’t able to provide click and collect services as they don’t receive deliveries frequently enough so the delivery for a click and collect would take too long.

    • rickb on 25/07/2020 - 19:10

      Very kind of you to answer our questions. Thanks Josh.

      My question is that I across the road from a Cotton On store, but the nearest click and collect store is 32k’s away. Could that be because my local has no stock?

        Unfortunately all stores aren’t able to provide click and collect services as they don’t receive deliveries frequently enough so the delivery for a click and collect would take too long. This will explain why you are unable to collect from your local store. I’m sorry that you can’t collect from just across the road from your home.

    Depends on material and number of layers, doubt it has 90% filtration.

    This website shows the tested result using different materials for mask -

    https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/best-diy-coronavirus-hom…

    surprisingly kitchen towels has more filtration than a cloth mask. May be it is worth while to buy a good quality kitchen towel to make double layer mask for kids. You need a material good enough to filter out virus.

    They can get stuffed with a $3 click and collect, what a scam these businesses operate, not to mention $3 is what it would cost to post an item of these dimensions.

    • spaceflight on 25/07/2020 - 13:27
      +3

      What about the cost of employing staff to select, set aside and give to you the item.

      The cost to post this might be $2.20, but what about the envelope, staff time to select pack and process, thermal address label printer, address sticker etc

      It will actually cost them more than $3 to post this unless all the other things are somehow free

      Plus that's not how their click and collect works

      • eggaz on 25/07/2020 - 14:26

        In my post I did say about $3, so give or take. I'm pretty sure their cost on the $9.99 nowhere near that. As well as all the items needed to post being a tax write off and given the heavily reduced traffic in store the staff may have some time to pick all the click and collect order, lots of retailers offer a click and collect at no charge, my opinion is their model sux and I'm not paying extra for someone to grab it off the shelf so I can go in and pick it up.

  • alphaoasis on 25/07/2020 - 12:19
    +1

    So that makes the price $12.99 for click and collect.

    • tonester on 25/07/2020 - 16:00

      only if you buy just one - for two, it would be $22.98 or $11.49 each - less with cashback :)

  • garage sale on 25/07/2020 - 12:28

    if the government says scarfs are good enough, its more about a message in the public people wearing masks and stopping the coughs and sneezes ….. some people thought they might have corona, get a test, and then party …… dont thnik those people care about n95, or stuff just wear something so you can go shopping ….. there is no spec for what mask to wear or a "gov approved" sticker ……. "or scarf with knit one perl 2 density to stop viruses" …..

    Ordered one. I've got a handmade one from a local family business but it doesn't have the bendy metal thing on your nose so fogs up my sunnies. Don't particularly care about the extra filtration but it's an added bonus for the price.

      • One layer (Bonds 2 vs Cotton On 3)
      • Adjustable elastic straps
      • Malleable metal nosepiece

      Bonds 3.3/5 (36 reviews/ratings) - 16 out of 32 (50%) reviewers recommend

        not comparing which are better, it's simple it was $10 before the lockdown the $3 c&c is just taking advantage

        • tonester on 26/07/2020 - 07:20

          • RogueWolf on 26/07/2020 - 08:17

            @tonester: good question not sure, never heard of a company charging for c&c, I see in some comments above kmart does, think its pretty pathetic, if the service is to much hassle then simply don't offer it or only offer it on a minimum order, 30% on a $10 item is a joke, go past any cotton on store & the staff are doing nothing as nobody is at shopping centres (in melb), least these orders would give them something to do

      • Melencir on 25/07/2020 - 20:28

      Click and collect still costs money to offer

      • Seraphin7 on 25/07/2020 - 13:47

        How much does it cost to offer vs. just having staff waiting around hoping someone will come in to buy, make chit chat with the customer, ring up the sale, etc., etc.?

        I'm aware they're not the only ones that do it. I dodge those outlets as well. I just don't understand how C&C for an outfit like Cotton On could possibly cost more per sale than customer walk ins. It wouldn't surprise me if these are all kept in a box (or similar) right next to the counter in any event.

        • spaceflight on 25/07/2020 - 13:56

          If the store is busy with customers they might need to employ someone else just to do click and collect so it is ready when you come in. They need a space with shelving to store the orders etc.

          There are overheads incurred with click and collect that aren't there for normal purchases.

          But that's not even how their click and collect works

    It looks like you order click and collect, the items are posted to that store and then you pick it up

        They could have made it delivery only like other stores have but they're offering a more eco friendly pick up option for multiples of people rather than only offering postage to their house, using less delivery resources.

    • CocaKoala on 25/07/2020 - 17:26

      Exactly my thoughts.

      Dozens of countries had to return hundreds of thousands of masks back to China as they were not meeting the advertised standards.

      The common folk have little to no resources at their disposal to verify these BS certification standards claims made by these Chinese mask manufacturers.

      I'm ordering a few washable masks from one or more of the local small business who are making masks. It will cost more, but I am happy to pay in this instance.

        Vogmask or any other masks on the market which has a valve on it are dubbed the selfish mask. Still spreads the virus which endangers people around you but keeps you safe as the valve shuts when you breathe in.

          Some Victorian workplaces have also “banned” valved masks that are being worn as part of the government facial covering directions.
          Obviously valved respirators can still be worn for dealing with hazardous substances.
          On the plus side the gov here hasn’t banned them so they still prevent the $200 fine.

          yes, hence why i specified the non-valved VMC, as opposed to the valved VMCV - The Allergy Shop have only the latter on their website, but should hopefully be also receiving stock of the former soon

          sorry, forgot to mention earlier that masks with filtered valves can be fine, such as those having a filter pocket

    Yeah $7 postage for a $10 item (I don't need multiple masks) is a bit steep, and click and collect is not possible for me.
