We stock VTech, collector figurines, Five Nights at Freddys, Paw Patrol etc….offer ends 31st Jan. Shipping Rates will vary but mostly from $8 to $16.
The last time I went on your site, I partially went through the checkout to see shipping and was put on your newsletter without being asked. Got an e-mail about my most recent "eBay" purchase.
I'd suggest removing or disabling that function, don't want to have to unsubscribe every time I go see how much shipping is ;)
alot of others do that to,its dam annoying to say the least
the last one i did was with gearbest then they spammed me i had to block them
It's the Shopify checkout system that is annoying to deal with. So many people are running their e-commerce sites on it and their checkout system spams you wish messages wishing you to come back, adding you to mailing lists and all kinds of garbage :(
Ahh Ok thanks for the info on that
"ADG Toys is offering 15% everything …"
I think you mean 15% off everything.

5. If shipping is required, state the shipping cost to major Australian cities if this information is available; approximate range is ok if the exact cost is variable or not available. (Store representatives must provide this information - there should be no reason to hide this from potential customers.)
hi, sorry about that, the site has been going through some teething issues.
If you have any queries in regards to shipping, let me know and I can adjust the invoice for you. The system calculates the shipping automatically, so been trying to get that rectified too. Feel free to message me.
Thanks
Andrew
Got excited seeing 15% off everything and a thumbnail of Nintendo Switch but then I read the rest of the title :(
Lol at c0cktease thumbnail
The website needs a bit of work in regards to business info. Missing a few contact info that you can find on their facebook page, seems there is even a physical address and phone number. Consumers tend to have more trust with a retail website that has these information (shows they have nothing to hide).
Personally, I never purchase from websites without a physical address (office or warehouse), unless they are large companies. If I purchase from sole traders it is usually through ebay. At least paypal will make it safer should you need to dispute.
Shipping is from Victoria so I guess depending on the item the price for shipping will vary anywhere from $10 for small items to $30 for the bulkier items.
You have still not disclosed shipping costs to your fellow OzBargain members, not even your standard shipping cost of $8.00. If the website is "going through some teething issues" then these prices are 15% off what you have never charged. Therefore this post is an advertisement and not an authentic price reduction.
Lower prices are available elsewhere:-

$18.95 - 15% using code NOTTAKINGOZBARGAINSERIOUSLY = $16.11 + $8.00 standard shipping = $24.11

$13.27 with free shipping to Australia … a significant saving.

Before posting a bargain
Is this really the best price on the web? Check for the lowest prices.
Incidentally, why do you show "DC Comics" next to this Batman wallet? You are fully aware they have nothing to do with that item. Not even AliExpress are implying otherwise.
I don't think it is fair to compare what is a licensed product, to a knock-off on AliExpress. A better comparison would have been to use someone like Dungeoncrawl. It's $21 delivered from them, you're saving a few dollars.
Hi Kugz,
I will always price match on the same product. I will refund the difference if they have the item in stock.
You are of course right, but I concluded OP's wallet is also a knock-off because DC don't stock it and we see none of the usual ® © ™ on OP's product page.
I've checked out the Batman wallet that you have mentioned on Aliexpress and it's not licensed or authentic, it is a copy. The wallet I have is licensed by DC Comics and is authentic.
Nobody else online with that design Batman wallet claims it is officially licensed by DC Comics, and DC do not stock it. Have you any idea why?
go to licensingessentials.com.au and browse their products. Inside the wallet is also a card from licensing essentials which has all the details bearing DC Comics and trademarks
I searched for "Batman" and I then searched for "wallet" but I could not see the wallet you are selling.
that's the company where the wallet is from. They must be sold out. Yhey do have the Superman one there.
So why tell me to browse their products? When you click on the Superman wallet, the result is an empty frame. The Batman wallet is absent from that website. The DC Officially Licensed Store offers neither wallet:-
http://www.shopdcentertainment.com/category/accessories/wall…
The Batman and Superman wallets they stock display ™ either inside or outside. That is not visible on your product page …
https://adgtoys.com.au/collections/gifts-for-under-30/produc…
… which only has "Insert Card Packaging - DC Comics" beside it.
So your product page does not actually say it is Officially Licensed by DC Comics. Nobody else online with that design Batman wallet claims it is either. Have you any idea why?
take a look here
https://www.yellowoctopus.com.au/dc-comics-batman-logo-walle…
It has DC Comics on my listing as it is licensed by DC Comics. All my products are licensed and genuine.
OK, so you have a reason for not actually saying it is Officially Licensed on your product page. And your Batman and Superman wallets do not display ™ like those at the DC Officially Licensed Store:-
http://www.shopdcentertainment.com/category/accessories/wall…
Could you please shed some light on why they don't stock the wallets you stock?
maybe they are out of stock in the US and Australian Distributors still have stock
No, we already established your supplier licensingessentials.com.au no longer lists either wallet. And for some reason your wallet does not display ™ like those stocked by the DC Officially Licensed Store. Have I got that right?
@PJC: would u like me to send u a pic of the product and the license essentials card that comes with it as well.
"try this"
Thank you. I cannot see your offered "pic of the product" but I can see that card. It seems odd your product page doesn't actually say it is Officially Licensed. You see, your description lists no example bargains …
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:deal_posting_guidelin…
Sales, Catalogues and Stores
f you know there is a good bargain or two in a sale, catalogue or store, it's a good idea to mention one or even two bargains … and provide direct links where possible, to those items.
If there are multiple bargains in the same sale, catalogue or store … multiple items can be listed in the same posting; probably with what looks to be the best or most popular bargains at the top.
… so naturally I browsed and found the wallet.
So physically the difference between …
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Batman-wallet-DFT-1555/32654…
… and your …
https://adgtoys.com.au/collections/gifts-for-under-30/produc…
… is the card Licensing Essentials Ltd slip inside it?
And now you offer fellow members of OzBargain 15% off this discontinued product (plus everything else) without disclosing shipping costs in your description even after 14 hours.

Thank you for clearing that up.
the product is NOT discontinued it is still available from many OZ sellers.
even mightyape don't have in stòck until March

Both wallets are absent on your supplier's website, so your supply is discontinued. You are not the only vendor stuck with them (Yellow Octopus) and you offer them to your fellow OzBargain members at 15% discount. They remain available on AliExpress without the Licensing Essentials card. After 22 hours and prompting your description began showing shipping costs.
i really don't know how u can compare aliexpress. All they have is cheap imitations and copies of original products. I am not "stuck" with a discontinued product. For a licensed Product this is the cheapest you will get it. Everywhere else i have seen for the same range from $17 to $25.I have been replying to your messages all last night and now again today so give me a chance to update a few other things.
@ADGToys: A cheap imitation of a PU Leather wallet made in China? Did your supplier get them from a different China? If you cannot order more they are discontinued, obviously.
I can order more, how many would you like?
As you should be aware most products come from China, but to have licensing needs to pay licensing fees to DC Comics or whoever, the ones on aliexpress that your're referring to do NOT have licensing agreements. My distributor pays for the rights to have the Batman Logo on their products etc. There are 2 distributors in Australia that i know off who only have licensed Products. The one I have already mentioned and VR Distribution. Vr however get their stock from licensing essentials. In no way is this stock End Of Life or Discontinued.
I would never personally buy anything from aliexpress as they quality is never the same, hence you pay a cheap price you get cheap quality.
I have also looked at your other posts and you do the exact same thing to other people on ozbargains that you are doing on this feed. At least I reply back to you, the others don't.
You and also VR Distribution cannot order more from Licensing Essentials; they are absent from LE's website, so they are discontinued, obviously. PU Leather wallets are always cheap quality. This is OzBargain. It's not our fault nobody else wants them.
