BertieBrown commented on Bosch Washing Machine - Major Fault < 4 Years - The Good Guys and Bosch Won't Help
It depends a bit on your states magistrates court, but I would send them a letter of demand stating that the machine makes high pitched…

BertieBrown commented on Sydney Tools' No Returns Policy
Thanks for this. I (profanity) hate dealing with businesses that make returns a hassle, and they’re kind of telegraphing that they might…

BertieBrown commented on Question about Welding Using Bunnings
Just give it a crack with a stick welder. It’s not hard, it’s all just practice. Get some cement sheet to weld on so you don’t scorch…

BertieBrown commented on Battery Operated Gardening Tool Combo Kits
Combo kits in the tool buying sense generally offer multiple tools in a package rather than two tools you’re after specifically and…

Think on Kinetic 40cm Sink Drain Unblocker $2.50 (Was $5.31) + Delivery ($0 with OnePass/ C&C/ in-Store) @ Bunnings

Think of it a bit like a rose bush twig, those little barbs hook onto bits of yuckness and get hooked on, you then haul it back up out of…

BertieBrown commented on No Interest Loans (Up to $2000–$3000) @ Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand (No Fees, No Charges)
This is such an awesome program!

ekto on Does EB Games/Australia Consumer Law Have a Pre-Order Price Guarantee?

My thinking would be that in this instance you have a printed contract of sale stating the customer has paid in full for the item at that…

This is a really interesting question. My thinking is that no, you do not have any specific ACL guarantees. I think you’d actually need a…

BertieBrown commented on ALDI Merchandise: Hoodie, Sweatshirt, Track Pants $14.99 | T-Shirt $8.99 | Clogs, Hat $7.99 | Sneakers $19.99 + More @ ALDI
How are the trackies? I don’t give a (profanity) about brands or whether they say Aldi, but if the track pants are half decent I’ll…

Ah nuts. Yeah also missed out. I saw it earlier and was mulling it over. Well, that’ll teach me.

BertieBrown commented on [NSW, VIC, QLD] 40% off New Bowl Range at Fishbowl ($0 Pickup or + Delivery & Service Fees) @ DoorDash
I thought this was actually fish bowls! lol! I was thinking to myself, why is Door Dash selling pocket pet supplies now?

BertieBrown commented on Makita Vs Dewalt, Skins and Batteries
IMO it’s all much of a muchness with tools these days. Maybe years back when there was genuine innovation in the space there was a major…

matthmbg on [NSW] Ozito PXC 18V Cordless Hedge Trimmer Kit $35 @ Bunnings Chatswood

Thank you for the I/N, unfortunately none in stock anywhere in the vast state of South Australia. :/

parker2004au on ESTWING Pro Claw 10'6" Nail Puller $21.04 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU

Yup, same for me.

BertieBrown commented on OzBargain ATAR + University Advice
First off, don’t sweat it too much. Easy to say, I know. Plenty of people can get around uni entry by using other pathways.…

RtN on Makita 18V X 2 Brushless U-Handle Line Trimmer - Skin Only $249 (RRP $529) C&C @ Bunnings (Special Order)

So funny how words change. Bushwacking historically was attacking/murdering someone on the trail via ambush. But my pointless factoid…

If you get a partial refund for the defect, make sure that you’re not signing anything that discharges Bunnings or the plumber from any…

BertieBrown commented on LEGO City Downtown Tram and Station 60423 $64 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store/ $65 Order) @ BIG W
Thank you OP, not to be a dick but how do you know it’s that price in 4 days - is it an upcoming special? I tried looking up Big W…

BertieBrown commented on Benss Portable Radio AM FM SW $22.39 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Benss-AU Amazon AU
I’d be very tempted if it was a Radiation King! If it all goes to hell, I at least want to listen to Billie Holiday on the most…

Don’t sell yourself short mate. The quality of ‘tradie’ work I’ve seen lately is not at all encouraging. Plenty of skilled…

Depends a bit on the trade or whatever you’re doing. For instance Makita make great tools but they don’t have a framing nailer, and…

BertieBrown on [Switch] The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom $58 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ OnePass/ $65 Metro Spend) @ Officeworks

Edit - Also, super random that OW is selling Nintendo games, I guess this is targeted at the discerning office worker who wants quality…

BertieBrown commented on [Switch] The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom $58 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ OnePass/ $65 Metro Spend) @ Officeworks
It’s a ripper game, but I found it a lot harder than BOTW. Still, it’s an awesome ‘cozy’ game.. just difficult.

BertieBrown commented on Wera 134011 2go H1 Tool Set for Wood Applications (134 Pieces Set) $800.54 Delivered @ Amazon AU ($720.48 Price Beat @ Bunnings)
I appreciate the effort in the post but I don’t see how this is a deal? No way in hell this is worth what they’re asking. Also, if you…

BertieBrown commented on Marbig Ruler 30cm Clear Plastic $0.60 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
I feel like a ruler nerd saying this but the bendy rulers are better because you can twist them and bend them without risk of them cracking…

BertieBrown commented on Lubluelu SL60D LiDAR 4000Pa 2-in-1 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner $219.99 Delivered @ Lubluelu Robot AU via Amazon AU
Does any of you wonderful folks have one of these with a slate tile floor? I’ve got an around 30 or so sq/m of Indian slate tile floor…

CptnObvious on MacBook Air 13" with M3 Chip: 8GB Unified Memory, 256GB SSD $1497 Delivered @ Amazon AU

I’ve read differing things with some people saying that because MAC is more optimised 8GB is okay, but honestly my own sense is that 8GB…

Definitely less demand for them, out of my younger extended family only myself, my partner, and BIL can drive manual, and everyone else is…

BertieBrown commented on [Prime] Stanley Tylon Tape Measure 5m/16' Compact Case with Cushioned Grip $7.76 Delivered @ Amazon UK via AU
This is a decent tape measure but.. it doesn’t have a lot of reach before folding. But quality wise, it’s a decent tape.

BertieBrown commented on Harvey Norman Testing TV's before Delivery?
It doesn’t sound right, no. If you go into a retailer and buy a product advertised as being brand new or new, then it shall be delivered…
