Hi Again Everybody,

So after my Dick Smith sales expedition ended this afternoon, I decided to pop into my local Bing Lee and came across what I think was a pretty nifty bargain.
I've been told that I often resemble a disheveled hobo so this deal must be a wake up sign? :)

PHILIPS - YS521/17 - CLLICK&STYLE SHAVE & GROOM
Pro's:

  • Water Resistant
  • Rechargable built in battery
  • Blade doesn't have to be replaced for 2 years
  • 2 year warranty
  • 60 day money back promise if you're not satisfied.

I spent a good 15 minutes on my phone researching the shaver while the salesperson was waiting on whether I'd part with my hard earned cash. (Must have been a slow day for him)

Reviews are great and it's the cheapest model I could find by a long shot;

$99.95 - Philips Online Australia | http://www.philips.com.au/c-p/YS521_17/click-style-shave-gro…

$74.99 - Catch of the day | https://www.catchoftheday.com.au/product/philips-click-style…

£34.55|$66.3953 AUD - Amazon UK | https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-Click-Style-YS521-17/dp/B00…

$34.00 USD|$44.71 AUD - Walmart | http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/philips-ys52117-click-style-shav…

I even managed to get $2 off the sale price to bring it down to $27 :)

Reviews are mainly positive: http://www.testfreaks.co.uk/shavers/philips-ys-521/

Now cue the shaving hilarious puns!

      Click and collect is available online mate. ;)
      I simply went into my local store and they had a bunch of them out in front.

      • WoodenSpoon on 02/05/2016 - 00:10

        Not possible in VIC :(

        • ZackyD on 02/05/2016 - 00:15

          There is a pickup in store tab on the page - I just tried a random 3000 postcode and Wodonga, Albury and Belconnen all came up with stock.

          I don't think you can pre-purchaser online and pick up (My mistake) but using this tab, you should be able to suss out which one of your local stores has stock and just pay in store.

          Kinda poor in this day and age when most major retailers have the option of pre-paying and securing items. Heck, even Dick Smith had it and they are in liquidation.

          Even with $9 postage, still a decent deal I think… :)

        • WoodenSpoon on 02/05/2016 - 00:20

          @ZackyD:
          What I meant was there are no Bing Lee stores in Vic. :(

          @WoodenSpoon: Well there is, you just need to drive to the border ;-)

          @WoodenSpoon:

          Oh WOW!! I didn't realize how small Bing Lee's network was. Also shows how poor my geography is when I was born and bred in NSW and assumed Wodonga, Albury and Belconnen were in VIC…Ekkk!

          Bing Lee only seems to be based in NSW & ACT from the looks of this - https://www.binglee.com.au/stores

          I'd probably see if you can find a workmate or family member/friend who wants one too and would split postage evenly. Makes for an awesome gift. I haven't tried it yet as I've never own an electric shaver before (Pack of 10 BIC shavers for $3 were my go to) so I'll report back on how it is. :)

          @xyron: Only just.

    BTW: Their discount margins seem to pretty slim (supposedly) I initially got the sales person to check if he could do it for $25.00 which he said yes but while I was browsing around his manager claimed to have told him it was below cost and they could only knock off $2 to bring it down to $27.

    I was a little peeved but it wasn't worth arguing over $2. Guess that makes me a wannabe Ozbargainer… Wahhh! :'(

    Long story short, if you're in store ask for a discount even if it's only $1 or $2. I'll post the receipt up later.

    Cool thanks. Heading to albury from melb soon so why not drop by to pick up order :)

  • AussieDaddy on 02/05/2016 - 01:06

    Does this Bing Lee business operate only in the Easter states (NSW and Vic, or only one?) or it has stores in other states as well? I see their deals posted here very often and I never saw any of their stores in my part of the nation.

    • ZackyD on 02/05/2016 - 01:15
      +1

      Well it seems like Bing Lee only have a footprint in NSW/ACT at the moment. Surprising since they've been around since the 80's as this AWESOME commercial shows;

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-b3pufEcDo

      Then again, Dick Smith had hundreds of stores nationwide and that didn't seem to help the situation.

      The way I see it, the electronics retails space is as follows; Harvey Norman, JB HI FI, The Good Guys then Bing Lee.

      While Bing Lee doesn't always have the cheapest prices, I find their smaller family focused customer service to be a plus and it's always good to have competition to keep the big 3 honest.

      • AussieDaddy on 02/05/2016 - 02:54
        +1

        Thanks for the detailed info, ZackyD. I was wondering what their deal is as I saw some good deals of theirs posted here over the years and they're mostly in store. Wish they had stores nationwide.

      • Clementt on 02/05/2016 - 12:14

        Urgh.. out of stock. Can you check if they have any in stock when you are in albury please. Can meet you in city or somewhere if you got it. Thanks Mrtin

        • mrtin on 02/05/2016 - 13:00

          you can give them a call and ask / place phone order. then i can pick it up when im up there. got a call this morning saying it is ready for me to pick up which i will do in a week or so time

        • Clementt on 02/05/2016 - 23:42

    If Bing Lee is in NSW only, it should be mentioned in the title.

  • snappy1234 on 02/05/2016 - 05:37

    I reckon the could Open a store in Brisbane and Melbourne and they would go well.

    Closest to Brisbane is Armidale !

  • taroko on 02/05/2016 - 06:48

      Good decision. It's quite revolting to use only one for both up/downstairs.

  • PainToad on 02/05/2016 - 07:14

    So this only does clean shaven? Not adjustable length?

    • timmysbiscuits on 02/05/2016 - 08:54

      Guessing only here, but I read 2 in 1 shave and groom as adjustable (or at least 2 lengths). Note: did not read specs or reviews.

      • timmysbiscuits on 02/05/2016 - 11:23

        looks like two adaptors instead

  • Trishool on 02/05/2016 - 08:26

    I wonder if anybody is going to claim warranty on broken units after chucking it in the washing machine…

  • boxall on 02/05/2016 - 09:32

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 02/05/2016 - 09:50

    Good price but I've never liked those circular bits (though they look cool). I don't know if these have the typical flick out comb-shaped trimmers but the dedicated horizontal trimmers are perfect for a monthly trim.

  • man0k on 02/05/2016 - 09:56

    Does anyone know if this can be used to shave my head. Never used a razor on my head before, but considering going down that route as my baldness is getting worse and the head clippers leave like weeks growth look.

  • [Deactivated] on 02/05/2016 - 09:58

    I think it's sold out, can't add to cart :(

  • monstermash on 02/05/2016 - 10:00

    Called the Fyshwick ACT store and he said they have 20 left @ $29. About to go pick one up now. I sometimes like being classified as unofficial NSW.

    • JayM on 02/05/2016 - 14:47

      Scratch that. I just walked in there and was told I've bought the last one. 19 sold in the last 5hrs. Ozbargained.

      Bing Lee told me today that there is no issue with stock, they just had a totally unexpected huge amount of sales today. They will be restocking asap. By later this week or next week they will have tons more in stock. Hopefully what i was told by the sales assistant was correct!

  • AMLagonda on 02/05/2016 - 11:54

    This shaver was cheaper than just the foil for my shaver :) was a bargain even with postage, glad i bought it.

  • LostyJai on 02/05/2016 - 13:16

    Marrickville NSW has about 3 left. I was just in there and grabbed 2.

  • Nilfunds on 02/05/2016 - 13:33

    Thanks for posting this.
    Even thought it's out of stock at this time i rung my local Bing Lee and order 2, they said in 2 days, i paid 58$ for 2 over the phone.

  • bchliu on 02/05/2016 - 15:03

    Lucky got it in time last night. Great price. Only downside is that it is two heads instead of three. Will be good for a travel shaver for me.

  • Javin on 02/05/2016 - 18:46

  • Brendoo on 02/05/2016 - 22:51

    George St in the city had sold out today but told me they will have lots more stock by next week as the sale goes to 2017.

    • Brendoo on 03/05/2016 - 02:45

      Slight correction, I think the guy meant it has a money back guarantee until 2017 (i just saw that online), I was a bit surprised a sale like this could go until 2017.

      • dealsniper on 05/05/2016 - 19:39

        did they say they are getting more stock?

  • competitions on 06/05/2016 - 09:02

    Could they be any slower… looks like they haven't even picked up the parcel yet.

    Great shaver but really slow to shave lol and not very powerful but such a good price I wish I bought some more.
