Were 24.95 each, apply code at checkout to get 3 for $30! You can never have too many comfy undies.
Also 5x hipster trunks for $49 until tomorrow 5pm, were $19.95 each http://www.bonds.com.au/hipster-trunk.html
$2.23 each, delivered, for better-than-Bonds quality 'Calvin Klein' trunks from AliExpress, so thanks WalrusDealer, but no deal :-)
For example, I bought some of these ones: www.aliexpress.com/item/z/729337679.html. The pictures are of 'triangular briefs' but what they actually ship is a /very/ good quality 'trunk' style that looks more like this http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/826287442/365-Series-Cott… . I was so impressed that I threw all my year-old Bonds undies in the bin and bought twenty more! :-)
how's the sizing? from the size table it seems XXXL = M equiv
Yeah, like everything from China, they use a roulette wheel to set sizing on stuff! ALWAYS go by actual measurements on every item, 'cos they're always different. I usually buy 'L' clothes in Australia, depending on which China supplier, I'm buying XL, XXL or XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL!
For the undies I mentioned in the previous post, their XXL seems to be about an Aussie L.
here from the same seller are 11 pc that appear to definitely be trunk style:

How do you know those aren't just cheap knock offs, like the ones on ebay?
Oh, they probably are knock-offs. Note how they're always "Cal in Kl n" or " alvin Klei ", never "Calvin Klein". They do actually have "Calvin Klein" written on them, but they never seem to put the whole name on the web pages.
My point, though, is that they're not 'cheap' quality. They're actually pretty good. These ones http://www.aliexpress.com/item/z/729337679.html are quite well made, decent thick fabric, in a 'trunk' style (not as pictured). For $2.25/pair, they're awesome!
I also bought some of these www.aliexpress.com/item/z/695715755.html and they were crap. Fabric so thin I'd be afraid to fart for fear of blowing a hole clear through them, and cut, well, they'd be a good cut for a woman or a eunuch, but pretty useless for a bloke!
I suppose you have a point. I doubt the quality of bonds these days is actually any better then the knock offs, hell they probably make them in the same factory. Bonds used to be worth the price, now they just as bad as the cheapest stuff
You should post those ones up on here and share the bargain then ;)
Those ones are cheaper, but I'm a bit wary of AliExpress after I bought a camera a few years ago that was DOA, couldn't get a refund and the seller didn't respond to any of my emails. Tried looking the seller up and calling and got hung up on, multiple times. At the time I couldn't do anything, as the seller had already had the funds released to them, and AliExpress themselves didn't respond to any messages I sent them. Things might be better there now, but that experience lost me as a customer to them.
I notice they don't actually mention the name Calvin Klein anywhere on the listing, other than the photo, which in my mind makes it very likely that they are just knock offs. You do get the 'Calvin Klein' printed on them, but I'd always rather buy a genuine product and support the company that actually made the brand name, even if they are more expensive. That, and the shipping takes from 15-45 days, with a 30 DAY processing time, whereas this one has a 2-5 day shipping time and probably wouldn't take more than a day or so to process. I guess if you don't mind waiting and the greater difficulty of resolving any issues if something goes wrong then they are great.
Anyway, TL;DR, these are genuine Bonds, shipped from Australia, with relatively fast delivery :)
They're not a 'bargain', per se. $2.23/pair is standard price for brand-name undies from China. When I find them for $2.22, then I'll post them on here as a bargain! :-)
But what does 'genuine' mean anyway, and what did Philips Van Heusen (owners of the Calvin Klein brand) and Pacific Brands (Bonds) ever do to justify your 'support'? They're just enormous corporate money factories, they have no soul. They're paying a lot less than $2.25 for the /same/ undies from the /same/ factories, AND they're on-selling to you for $10-$30 per pair. Profit, much? They don't manufacture in Australia, they don't employ Australians in manufacturing and, in the case of Van Heusen, they export the money they make from you. The quality of Pacific Brands stuff is so poor now that any sense of 'loyalty' is misguided IMHO.
So thanks for the deal, I'll stick with decent quality at a fair price! :-)
no deal, hut has better offers all the time. i sound like a broken record
Last time with their $5 boxer deal I was pretty disappointed with the quality, even for the price. First time I had bought Bonds ever since they moved manufacturing to China, and probably the last time I'll touch the brand — no matter how cheap.
Not a bad price but sorry no deal for me.. IMHO Bonds quality is OK but nowhere as good as what it used to be. TradeSecret has Oroton, Devenport and few other descent brands for around $8-$11 all the time. I usually pay around $5 for Oroton when they on sale…
Thanks OP!
I was only thinking earlier this week that I needed to retire some of my older pairs!
3 for 30 including delivery is good for me!
If you like the product on facebook the total ends up being $27.00 Delivered :D
I ended up adding an extra pair onto my order..
Ended up with 4 pairs for $36 delivered
Do you know which ones are available with this deal?
Edit: NM I see you updated the link. Thanks
