if you think Australian Deals suck, think again.
This has been posted as a hot deal in New Zealand. I don't know if i should cry or laugh.
For those who don't know, the warehouse is an equivalent of Target / Big W in Aussie.
As a proud Ozbargainer, I don't even know why I live in Nz sometimes.

That was the front page deal for a while too.
Alternative perspective: While seemingly everything else is going up in price, one retailer has been able to reduce delivery cost by 20%
Excludes rural, oversized & third party delivery.
If You Think Australia Deals Suck, Think Again
I've thought again.. they still suck.
YMMV

I don't think it's as much about the deals as it is about the amount of traffic the NZ site gets.
To be fair that's a 20% discount.
The number of upvotes on ozbargain posts for 10% or even 5% off can be mind blowing.
20% discount on shipping isn't something to be proud of though.
Why?
I hate to break it to you but fuel, vehicle servicing costs and everything else has been skyrocketing in the last 6-12 months.
Or $3 cashback on $100 purchases…
I don't understand the 100+ upvotes on like 3% off for cards or whatever….
I just pumped my wife's car full of diesel at $2.58. how much is diesel in Australia?
I fueled up few days ago at $2.19 in Melbourne
There's about a hundred petrol stations within a 50km-100km radius of metro Melbourne that's less than $2 ($1.75 to be more precise) everyday for the past week.
You must be picking the wrong petrol stations, or living in rural Vic, IE: not melbourne.
$2.28 in regional vic
Diesel $2.28
91. $1.74
About ~AUD$2.30 across Australia
When I said diesel was cheaper I was quoting the post 'Diesel- $2.33 (Same as Rotorua)'
NZ diesel doesn't have tax in it at the pump, tax is paid separately depending on how many km done.
What's the tax for a diesel car that does 15,000km p.a.?
Any tax on petrol cars?
Diesel 'car', so car, 4wd, ute (not a truck), RUC is currently $49 per 1000km. So for 15k, $735.
Goes back up to $76 per 1000km next year, so $1140.
It's the one thing between the 2 countries people don't seem to get.
-Aussies think NZ diesel is cheap (it only appears cheap as tax is separate)
-Kiwis think AU diesel is expensive (as it taxed before sale)
Unleaded fuels in NZ contain tax roughly the same as Au. Although I think Au doesn't apply gst to the tax components in NZ gst applies onto the tax component.
any deals on fush und chups???
Funnily enough as I was browsing their new deals I found myself reading the titles with a Kiwi accent.
Why does that website load insanely quick compared to ozbargain?
I thought they are both the exact same.
Probably due to the fact that choicecheapies is almost empty of content ?!
that, and low comment counts.
Free shipping from The Warehouse often get the top 5 deals of the month over there. I guess it's just the kind of deals kiwis like?
You live in New Zealand because it's freakin awesome.
Every time I go there I marvel at the place. Truly one of the most underrated places on the planet (Outside Auckland).
I'd take no bargains to live in paradise.
