Hello OzBargain community.

Two days ago someone made a strange decision to post about our company on this website. It caused quite a shocking surprise to us this morning when we saw the amount of orders received! We are now working around the clock to fulfil those orders.

As a follow-up, we thought the OzBargain community would be interested to check out our newly arrived stock. This face mask is also TGA certified and Made In Vietnam, as we believe it is important to provide quality-assured PPE for our customers. Please be aware that the market is prevalent with counterfeit and uncertified masks made with subpar material, especially on Ebay.

The efficiency of KN95 is equivalent to N95 (USA standard) which contains 5 layers of filtration material (most others only have 4 layers). We have set our product at a very good price point considering its quality.

We hope we continue to be a favourite vendor amongst this community. Our prayers also go out to those in Victoria. Stay safe.

Thanks,

Tyler
Sales Manger - Zebra

          I recently had to execute a charge back as part of an unrelated purchase/scam I experienced in February/March (don’t remember exact date).

          Payment was with Westpac Debit card online (similar to this deal) and chargeback was successful.

          Also see here: https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/products-and-services/refund…

          <Quote from above link:>
          When you can ask for a chargeback

          Consumers request chargebacks for many reasons. The most common are when:

          -they pay for products or services with a debit or credit card and:
          -the products or services received are not as described
          -they do not receive the products or services at all or within the agreed timeframe
          -there are duplicate or fraudulent transactions
          charges are made without permission
          unrecognised transactions appear

            @ahara:

            Payment was with Westpac Debit card online (similar to this deal) and chargeback was successful.

            Yes because your payment was processed as a credit transaction which meant you were able to do a charge back.

            As I said you can only do a charge back on a debit card if the transaction is processed as a credit transaction.

            Just because you use a debit card does not mean that you can do a charge back.

            If it is processed as a debit transaction it is not possible to do a charge back because it is not processed through Visa / MasterCard etc. and it is the credit card networks that allow you to do a charge back.

            <Quote from above link:>

            Is irrelevant to what I said.

            • ahara on 03/08/2020 - 22:28

              @spaceflight: I am not sure why you are arguing that it MUST be a credit card when even consumer VIC website clearly states that chargebacks can be requested with bank when payment has been with a Credit OR Debit card.

              How is that Irrelevant?? - it’s not possible to perform EFT transactions online .

              When I did my transaction with my debit card payment was taken immediately from bank account (thus debit) and I was still able to claim chargeback

              Ps: I didn’t neg you just FYI

                I have never said that.

                You can only do a charge back on a debit card if

                even consumer VIC website clearly states that chargebacks can be requested with bank when payment has been with a Credit OR Debit card.

                I know. To continue what I said.

                the transaction is processed as a credit transaction.

                Nowhere have I said it needs to be a credit card

                When I did my transaction with my debit card payment was taken immediately from bank account (thus debit)

                That's not what it means to be processed as a debit transaction

                and I was still able to claim chargeback

                You were able to claim it because it was processed as a credit transaction through a credit network processor

    Long term lurker, first time poster here.

    I was disappointed to see these masks on Ozbargain as they do not comply with the Australian Standard AS/NZS 1716:2012 or the international equivalent. The “vents” on the front are actually holes of about 1-2mm which you can see through.

    They are very poor quality and likely will not provide the protection you are looking for. In my opinion you would be better off with almost anything else besides this type of mask.

    I've ordered 4ply masks from earlier post.
    Received an email order confirmation from [email protected], instead of their [email protected].
    People who have ordered tried to contact but no response from the business.

    Website registered last month only,
    Company registered with ASIC in Mid April from a postcode 2076 Normanhurst/Wahroonga
    The business operations in Randwick, as OP stated their main warehouse is located in Minto.

    All this information doesnt convince me or add up, i.e.., Zebra industries is a legit business/seller.

    Will have to wait and see if we get these masks delivered or we got scammed by longtime ozbargain user who is trying to make easy money given the pandemic situation.

    It’s much much cheaper than bunnings was selling $15 a P2 mask back in March.

      Bunnings were selling legit 3M Cool Flow NIOSH approved N95/P2 respirator 5 packs for $30 in February, still have 2 boxes and a 10 pack of Master P2, ive only used 1 mask so far and used it daily for a month during lockdown in March/April, sanitized daily via UV

      How many of those are made in Australia?

    • danaus2000 on 04/08/2020 - 00:18

      N95 is American standard regulated by CDC, but most N95 is produced in China, so I reckon a made in Vietnam KN95 is not an issue.

    after searching the ARTG number from the product web page, the TGA public summary says this is a 4 layer single use mask, but the website says its 5 layer? Also there is no mention of meeting KN95 standard as well. I would think twice before making a purchase.

    It matters it meets KN95, N95, P2 etc standards. If it does the number of layers is irrelevant.

          Fair enough.

          But chargeback causes unnecessary costs to business so maybe try to give him some time to resolve via normal refund process.

          Bank will prob ask for that first before progressing chargeback application.

    Even if it's not a scam, expect to wait a long time for delivery. REP said in the OP that they were working around the clock to fulfill previous orders. And then goes out to the Ozbargain community to secure even more orders. Clearly not interested in shipping quickly to new customers.

      working around the clock = Rep too 'busy' to reply to legitimate questions & concerns over the product and business details

      I received a Sendle notification for the order for 40x 4ply surgical grade masks.

      I thus (myself) have to respectfully wait to have this delivered before having a case to raise any chargeback

        Post a photo of your masks when you receive them. Curious to know which brand they are.

          I will cut one open and post pictures.
          And then will eat it if it matches what was promised :)

    Any details for bfe, pfe and vfe? Also I believe a standard N95 should have straps over head to maximise the sealing.
    Seriously, I do not recommend people to buy it.

    Agree with others that this business hasn't provided enough info on their legitimacy. I'm getting pretty sick of mask "deals"

    Please provide a TGA ARTG ID otherwise remove the "TGA approved" claim.

    • 8azinga on 04/08/2020 - 12:45

      it's listed on the product webpage but that artg says 4 layer mask, not 5 as per the product

    Sounds like tapping into Ozb community to spam sell some masks. What is really bad is trying to make it seem like they are reputable sellers when they are definitely not!

    I asked OP some question previously and he didn't answer too. Good thing I didn't get any mask from the previous deal.

    Good work everyone for surfacing these info. Buyer beware!

  • DEvok on 04/08/2020 - 12:35

    Always wingers and complainers, don’t like it don’t buy it, no point being a 10 year old brat and keep nagging about it, no body cares about you.

    • Yummy on 04/08/2020 - 12:43

      Is that you, OP?

  • Shamdog on 04/08/2020 - 12:51

    I'm not sure if it's worth noting but when I went to see my GP yesterday she (and some of the other doctors I saw walking about) were wearing the standard blue surgical masks. I'm wondering whether these will suffice over the more expensive KN95 masks?

      I work in a critical care unit and I can give you the following advice

      1. As someone has previously stated - this mask has side ear loops. N95 masks need to "fit tested" to ensure they are properly fitted. Its a ten minute process where you are made to wear the mask and breath, cough, move your head around, sit/stand/squat - etc. Things you are likely to do in a room with a patient. I have never seen a mask with side ear loops pass a mask fit - they just don't fit like a standard N95 mask with two loops that go over your head (like this one https://www.livescience.com/respirators-prevent-coronavirus-…). The material may be KN95 certified - but the mask itself may never pass fit testing

      2. A normal surgical mask would be fine - their main objective is to stop the outflow of respiratory droplets if you cough/sneeze/breath. We need to wear fitted N95 masks at work because our patients are confirmed COVID and they are shedding virus and (obviously) we aren't able to socially distant. When you are on your way to work - really anything covering your face (a normal mask) ALONG WITH social distancing should be enough to keep you safe.

      Don't mean to ramble on but that's my understanding of the topic

        Mate, just thank you very much for dealing with this by being on the frontline. People like you voluntarily get into danger to help those who are infected. Has anyone told you today that you are a f**$G hero?! Because you are.
