    Thank you so much. I ordered the two most expensive ones for $8 including delivery. Brilliant bargain, thank you. Spent this morning in the garden, and saw that a big bush has totally obscured the water meter, so I needed something new and sharp to cut this plant away, so these two items will do the job. Thanks!!

    • gorzilla on 26/03/2012 - 18:15

      Yup, I just ordered two of the most expensive ones as well and it's still $8 total (including delivery)

      Thanks!

    i don't know how well it will handle a bush rather than grass

    • Geewhizz on 27/03/2012 - 06:23

      It won't, really. They'd be alright if you were into topiary or immaculately pruned hedges and were constantly pruning VERY soft growth only - otherwise definitely just for grass.

  • fmckenzie on 26/03/2012 - 17:42

    Thanks, nice find. Went looking for my garden snips yesterday and they had disappeared. And I was able to use a wish card I had won online.

    "11cm cutting length" !? Smallest shears I ever saw. You sure they are not meant to be in the "personal grooming" section?

    • googolplex on 26/03/2012 - 18:28
      +1

      lol

      I've seen hair cutting scissors not too far off from 11cm

      seems like these shears might be way overpriced to start off with ($29.88)

      BTW, has anyone else had experience with this brand?
      How would you rate it?

      • feisca on 26/03/2012 - 20:28

          Do you have your FF number registered there? Once you do it just automatically calculates them.

          if you buy 4 for $16, you get 89 points.

          Damn! I thought I was doing well with 29 points for my $8! It took me long enough to add just 2 to the cart though - by the time I'd have managed 4 they'd have sold out. lol

    People BEWARE - I ordered 2 sets of the shears on Monday and paid via paypal. I also placed 2 other orders the same way, one before and one after this order and they have gone through perfectly.

    Today via the 'order status' check site I get a note 'Contact Service Center'. I have just got off the phone to find that my order has not gone through. Their advice 'we are cancelling this order due to a payment problem' and 'you should reorder through the website'. I advised them that the item was now out of stock. Their comment - nothing can be done.

    Raised a complaint and was told, after a wait, that a note would be put on my file and 'when the item comes into stock again I will get it for the same discounted price'. I advised that as the item was a clearance item how would it be returning to stock in the future? Very very very displeased with Big W .

    I would advise all that have placed an order to check the status of the order as you may be in a similar situation. I find it amazing that they knew that there was a problem Monday night but do not let me know at all, even though they ask for a phone number and email contacts. I have to blunder upon an updated reference 2 days after the event. Great system Big W. Thanks very much. I will not be holding my breath for the item to come back into stock.

  • Reddog888 on 28/03/2012 - 17:47
    +2

    Unbelievable, in the time it took me to write the above, the order status has now changed back to 'being processed'. What does that now mean??????? I am now totally baffled.

    Sorry, my mistake, on closer inspection in the body of the page it says 'cancelled'. Thanks Big W.

    6pm - Later update, they had the courtesy of sending me an email to let me know it was cancelled. Pity they couldn't have sent one to let me know of the original problem. BUT I suspect that they had very limited stock and their system simply cocked up.

    They are yet to reverse the paypal transaction.

    Check your own transactions people..

  • bargaino on 28/03/2012 - 21:18

    Normal price for grass shears at bunnings is $8.

    Where do they get $29? That is ludicrous. Hedge shears are a different story.

  • nfr on 28/03/2012 - 22:39

    Got the grass shears today. They are inferior to the one I already got from Bunnings. It seems they are either fake Fiskars or they are really old stock. No way anyone would buy them for $29.

  • nezza on 29/03/2012 - 07:29

    I put in two orders in on Monday, had some problems with payment and also didn't receive any order confirmation emails from Big W. Rang up Big W on Tuesday to confirm the orders had gone through - was told that both orders had gone through OK and the confirmation emails probably hadn't come through yet because the warehouse had moved recently.

    However, both my orders still have the status of 'Order being processed'. I've previously had orders delievered from Big W within 1 or 2 days, so just wondering if this is normal or if anyone else is in the same situation?

    • Mamajo on 29/03/2012 - 14:52

      I ordered the K'nex Demon Coaster together with 2 pairs of shears, and my status has also been "Order Being Processed" for the last 4 days. The last time I bought from Big W Online, it was deleivered within 2 days.
      So yeah, wondering what's happening, and whether I should give them a call. Money has been deducted from my credit card and I haven't received an order confirmation either. Not even in the Spam folder.

  • cuongizzle on 30/03/2012 - 11:34

    Received items today. Aus Post is getting really lazy. Someone rang the door and I was 10 secs away and by the time I opened the door, the driver was already gone. I bought them as gifts but they came in a box with no protection and was not present worthy.

  • voiletmay on 31/03/2012 - 09:40

    Arrived yesterday, much worse quality than I expected. I thought all Fiskars products were good. Just ripping out plants with your hands does a better job than these tools.

  • tonka on 31/03/2012 - 09:59

    Please be carefull with the grass shears nearly lost an eye when the spring load bolt launched at my face after 60 secs of use. I want my $4 back these are complete rubbish. the blades are nowhere close to aligned, what a rip off.

      Loose screw/bolt (the orange thing) fell out of ours, managed to tighten it and OK now.

      Shears came pretty banged up, have definitely been on shelves for some time now. Mechanism felt sturdy and blades are sharp (as expected), for $4 ea delivered they will do their job.

      • tonka on 01/04/2012 - 20:44

        Didn't fall off mine, shot off like a bullet. No idea where it went just heard the whizz past my ear. Quite dangerous.

  • whitey on 01/04/2012 - 21:08

    The Nyglass shears are made in Finland and are of reasonable quality.
    The grass shears are made in China and it shows.
    If I paid full price for the grass shears i'd be taking them back,but for $4 delivered they're OK I suppose.

    • Reddog888 on 02/04/2012 - 09:15

      Well, with that feedback, I am not as annoyed at my order being cancelled and missing out on the grass shears. However the principle is still very unprofessional especially for a large company, makes you think twice before dealing with them again in the future.

    • robinsoa on 02/04/2012 - 12:18

      Yes the grass shears are horrible compared to the snips.
      Why would Fiskars trash their brand by selling inferior made in china version? Nothing against Chinese made productsin general as some are great, but the Fiskars grass shears I got are mediocre. Still a good overall deal.

  • ozzzie on 02/04/2012 - 11:37

    the grass shears are horrendously bad quality. literally after 2 minutes of use, it has fallen apart. definitely not even worth $4.00

    • robinsoa on 02/04/2012 - 12:24

        Cannot exchange as it was an online deal only and a clearance product i.e. no more available in store or at the warehouse. Only option is a refund.

        Received my snips today, very impressed.

  • c64 on 03/04/2012 - 22:14

    the grass shears aren't the best quality. certainly not worth $29! thankfully mine haven't popped apart (so far)

    there's a bit of a gap between the blades but i'm not sure if this affects cutting since the blade edges do slide along one another.

    still, better than using scissors

  • roozmik on 12/04/2012 - 10:00

    my order just got cancelled today.

    i bought the snips and the shears.
    they shipped the snips about a week ago, so the shears were outstanding still. havent got any refund yet…. zzz

  • c64 on 14/05/2012 - 12:53

    the grass shears are pieces of junk. the nut + orange washer + spring keep popping off. thankfully i've been able to find all the parts each time so far.

    the nut unloosens a little bit each time you snip the blades
