    I'm guessing he's having a go that Big W never seem to have any stock of their sale items….I tend to agree from past experience.

    - chriskq on 21/05/2015 - 12:35
      
      fair enough indeed. i guess if you didnt go today when the sale started not much luck of getting anything. Good thing i asked the missus to go grab some stuff as im at work all day.
    - illumination on 21/05/2015 - 13:34
      
      @scorpionsa: Not that unusual/unreasonable that that was interpreted as being "there is something wrong with the umbrella" as opposed to "there is hardly any stock", because "there is hardly any stock" could apply to everything that is for clearance.. i.e. everything in this deal.

  Fountain Gate Big W had at least a dozen large umbrelllas when I popped in during lunchtime today.
  
  I bought a $5 trampoline (for the kids), $% nerf guns, some metal drink bottles ($1 each) and skylanders figurines ($4 each).

There's that Hamilton beach breakfast maker which makes a bacon and egg muffin for $5 down from $39

  I have been looking at that for a while. At 5 bucks im definitely going to see if I can get one of those.

Big W's Drop Zone has usually got some half decent products and pricing. But let's be honest, the items they place on advertisements are, as they say, "Too Good To Be True!"
Good luck finding any of these in store.
strikerzebra on 21/05/2015 - 11:21

Can you do layby for these items if you call and it's in stock?
- Vheissu on 22/05/2015 - 08:46
  
  Big W are pretty vocal about the fact they have no rainchecks on deals, so that would be a definite no.
ezza on 21/05/2015 - 11:48

Hmmm why not online.. I hate it when its instore only - too painful I like a few clicks and pay online lol!
- 3ss3nc3 on 21/05/2015 - 15:45
  
  Because it would cost a lost more that $5 to ship a huge umbrella

I did notice the Elmo speaker and the Jamie Durie bean bag in stock at Big W Epping, Victoria.
About 6 of each left last night.

there was also an ipad mini mothers day box for $5. It had fluffy pink headphones an ipad cover and a blow up neck rest thing.
actually didn't look too bad for $5 if you don't mind pink and fluffy. at least 20 packs left last night.
- strikerzebra on 21/05/2015 - 11:57
  
  Will head to Big W after working to try and grab a bean bag

So are all these items in a specific "zone" in the store or in their respective sections?
- deal88 on 21/05/2015 - 12:10

  It depends on store.
  Some are in their usual location, some have been put on the ends of the aisles and others in the drop zone area.
  Most, but not all have drop zone tags.

Thanks for the post OP. So many times I've gone in to pick up something from these Drop Zone posts only to find just crap… Yet now I find myself tempted to do it yet again. Glutton for punishment…

See you all in Big W stores soon. :-)
strangeloops66 on 21/05/2015 - 12:39

Wouldn't a steel umbrella be noisy when it's raining?
- scrimshaw on 21/05/2015 - 15:06
  
  On the plus side, you can use it as a Bo staff should you get mugged while carrying this umbrella and it's less likely to break if it's steel.

    Correct.
    
    Interestingly, I went to Dick Smith Doncaster, Vic and my purchase was put in a David Jones bag.
    
    I expected it to be the other way around, ie, get a Dick Smith bag when buy electronics at David Jones.

Hotchips on 21/05/2015 - 13:06

Springfield Orion had 2.7m and 2.9m umberellas (going FAST) - Magnificent missus picked up a 2.9m (had the drop zone $5 tag on it) - told her to go back for another two if they are still there.

  Picked up the $5 Nerf there. Heaps available but no drop zone tag. It was in Nerf area (next to the new party dept), adjacent to the Drop Zone stuff. Did a scan and it came up as $5
  
  Saw the breakfast makers in the electrical dept, but no drop zone tags either

Bugger all at Gateways (as far as advertised items go)
placard on 21/05/2015 - 13:47

I wonder if the umbrellas will break, twist or snap in even a light breeze? I've seen cheap umbrellas do this before.
bargaino on 21/05/2015 - 13:50

A fair bit still left at Mirrabooka at 10am. The top few advertised items all gone early of course, but still plenty of $5 presents for kids birthday parties, and odd bits for the home.

- Vheissu on 22/05/2015 - 08:49
  
  According to the scanning code of practice, you're entitled to receive the item for free if it scans at a higher price than its advertised/shelf price. Definitely go back.
  - agentsmith on 22/05/2015 - 12:02

    Not sure that Big W is a signatory to that one - you would get it at the advertised price but not for free.
  - mmd on 26/05/2015 - 02:12
    
    The code applies to the major supermarkets, but I don't think it applies to department stores. I know it definitely does NOT apply to smaller stores like newsagents and chemists.
- Snoop on 24/05/2015 - 12:29
  
  Same as the umbrella stands at Karingal (Vic). Spoke to a guy who checked it (the same way that I already had) and scanned at $20. He reckons that it must be a different one. Hard to tell when they don't have a pic of the box online. Still a solid 15kg one that looked pretty much the same to me. Want too fused as I was only buying it because it was (supposed to be) $5!
MountainGoat on 21/05/2015 - 13:59

Managed to get 12 wine glasses + an umbrella stand.

Quite a bit left at Menai and Bankstown. Lots of knifeblocks in bankstown, quite a few umbrella stands, that cooking thing and nerf guns.

Dropped into Spearwood since was nearby (though was couple of hours ago now), had maybe half a dozen electric graters (were on the normal shelf and no markdown ticket) and breakfast makers.

Also not in the drop zone they had heaps of these collapsible drink bottles with snap hook for 20c

This was posted 9 years 5 months 12 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
