Thanks for that. I was quite disappointed with my Coles online order, due to the things you've mentioned (e.g. they gave me cheesecake with…

I had a bar showing my case ID and case status at the early stages of my approval process on one of the Pixel support pages, but one day it…

Suricate on Refund of US$456 (in Warranty, ~A$714) or US$200 (Out of Warranty) for Eligible Pixel 7a with Swollen Battery Issue @ Google

Should take around a month to process the payment according to reddit posts on this subject. Some have had battery swelling issues in…

lukie85 on Refund of US$456 (in Warranty, ~A$714) or US$200 (Out of Warranty) for Eligible Pixel 7a with Swollen Battery Issue @ Google

The range of prices I've seen the 7a sell at is around $430 - $679. So a payout of $713 seems crazy generous. And in many cases the…

Got the payoneer registration email today, applied 4 days ago. Email was in the spam folder of all places. Eligible for a $713 payment.

I've noticed so far no one has been asked for proof of purchase. That could be because we're still under 2 years of the phone's May 2023…

I believe so, if you go to "Settings" on the phone, then "About phone", then "Limited Warranty", it states the warranty period for the…

Thanks for the heads up. Only 3 weeks left on the 2-year warranty on my Pixel 7a, as I bought it under…

Be careful here. If, as I suspect, this is a consequence of the US tariff situation, where huge volumes of Chinese goods effectively locked…

It's a terrible time to be a cinema owner. Most people don't see the logic of paying money to watch a movie now, when they know they're…

greatlamp on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU US$83.77 (~A$133.82) Delivered @ TaiYuan Store AliExpress

My guess is at least part of the stock is returned from people who bent pins by accident trying to install the CPU.

The customer can, but the shop that sells it can't, so they have to get rid of short dated stuff by heavily discounting well below retail…

It's not as simple as levying extra taxes on natural resources because they're making big profits. You need to consider the likelihood that…

Not everything needs to be made political. Woolworths pulled a line of merchandise from sale because it assessed the demand wasn't there,…

clandestino on [QLD] KP Mangoes 8 for $2 or $0.29 Each @ Blunder Road Country Markets, Oxley

No, I don't think it's gouging. I'm just saying that 29c mangoes are an outlier that is not representative of mango pricing outside of…

JmackV2 on [QLD] KP Mangoes 8 for $2 or $0.29 Each @ Blunder Road Country Markets, Oxley

If you're going to use these 29c mangoes as an example, 99% of fruit stores, whether it's supermarkets or not, are gouging.

Gomo on [QLD] KP Mangoes 8 for $2 or $0.29 Each @ Blunder Road Country Markets, Oxley

Fruit and veg at Woolies are rarely a bargain, but for other stuff, when they do 50% off specials it's hard to find it cheaper elsewhere.

There's accountability with news organisations if they get the facts wrong. People get fired, they get sued. Like how Channel 7 incorrectly…

What's wrong with the news on this situation? All reports I've read have never made the claim that shortages were widespread and gave a…

I don't get why Commbank, Westpac etc savings accounts are still so popular when something like this blows them out of the water. Isn't it…

RainbowChad on $4.95 Hot & Spicy Fill up, $37.95 Hot & Spicy Family Feast, $15.95 Hot & Spicy Zinger Box, $14.45 Hot & Spicy 3-Piece Box @ KFC

$4.95 box seems like a pretty good deal to me? 2 pieces of chicken, 2 sides, and a dinner roll is a fair bit of food for 5 bucks.

Not too sure about younger folks ditching KFC, not seeing much evidence of that for my local. Regardless, you'll be selling a stock down…

At $7.79 it's 38% down from a high of $12.55 earlier this year, so I think CKF is a case of BTFD. Look at how many people still upvote the…

Price 'deals' higher so as to reset your expectations of what is a normal price.
