$10.35 shipping cost to post out a re-usable shopping bag? that's a bit steep!
yeah we don't know how much shower timers they really had, could just be marketing scam, doesn't seem like anyone got it on here.. and yeah shopping bag and greeting cards $10+ shipping each haha..
shipping is ridiculous little toy 9.95 shipping 10.34
should be able to be sent in little envelope for $5
Yeah got it last time too…
Never used it due to excessive shipping and overpriced blah goodsIm also very disappointed.Shipping prices to country WA for a small $10.00 item was going to be $15.00!! How can they justify that.

I got the code (3 days ago in email) and tried to use it but I found out the shipping fee is SO HIGH. A $7.50 recycle paperbook will need a postage fee of $11.50!!!! It should only just be $1.00 since you can chuck it in an A4 paper envolope. Otherwise these guys must be sending your package in an Express DHL, UPS or FEDEX BOX!!!
I revoked my +1
Prices at Todae are just ridiculous. I'm genuinely interested in LED light bulbs but I'd need to take out a 2nd mortgage to light up my humble home through them. Who pays that much?!
I agree that most of the prices were quite overpriced and from the prices you guys were getting for shipment, I'd be shocked as well!
I gave it a +1, though, since I was able to purchase a pack of 5 of Envirosax bags with under $7 shipping, and it came out cheaper than buying it directly from the Envirosax website.
free solar car with purchases over $300-whoopee! you can buy the exact same solar car at dealextreme for $2.50 delivered!!
Didn't get my shower timer either. Could have been a marketing scam.
Didn't get mine either, and this is after they send me a second email saying that they need to confirm my address to send me the shower timer. And from what I can gather, no one ever get theirs either (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/27890).
PLUS, the website link is still active, so many more people will still get conned (http://www.showertimers.com.au/contact.php).
A very bad experience from this company. Will really discourage dealing with them simply for being dishonest with public.
Hi,
My name is Landon Kahn, Todae’s marketing manager.
I would like to explain the situation, the offer is not a scam but was over-subscribed.
The website www.showertimers.com.au is a corporate website for orders of customised shower timers as promotional products for businesses and organisations. The “free sample” offer is intended for business people to obtain a sample before ordering customised shower timers - it is not intended as a freebie, but for businesses.
The offer is of course, a limited offer.
What happened was someone came across the site and listed it on various ‘discount’ sites including this one. We started receiving a number of free sample enquiries which we sent out. After a few days the situation hit critical mass and received several thousand requests per day and as it is a limited offer was therefore oversubscribed.
We could not send out timers to everyone (the thousands of people who applied), but did not want to disappoint people and decided the best way to do this is offer a no catch voucher to our store. Lots of people have taken up the offer and been extremely thankful for this.
In terms of the high shipping cost, I do agree our shipping cost is high. The reason for this is as follows:
We use a courier Toll Ipec to deliver the goods. Toll is an extremely reliable company and you can track your order. The way Toll freight works is freight is charged by how much it weighs…with a minimum of 3kgs (as stipulated by Toll Ipec). So this is why it is more expensive but they are reliable and we are able to track shipments, previously we have had other couriers/Aus Post lose too many parcels. So if you bought some more items the shipping would actually be the same, until they started to weigh more than 3kgs. We do not actually make any money on shipping, this is our cost price. If you are charged $10 to ship something, it costs us $10 to ship it to you.
Lastly, in regards to our pricing - the products we sell are environmentally friendly products and therefore incorporate the environmental cost of production; which most products don't. Also a lot of our products are new technology and therefore enter the market with a premium price…it is the same with everything, e.g. when HD TV's first entered the market they were very expensive but are now cheaper due to increased demand and decreased production costs…we hope our products become cheaper as well so everyone can use them. Our actual pricing in comparison to competitors is competitive, and in a number of cases, cheaper.
I hope this honestly answers your concerns, but I encourage further feedback and am happy to answer any questions.

Surely, it would have been simple to put a message on your website to say indicate the offer was over subscribed when you had no more stock?
Collecting everyones email/name/address details first, then subsequently saying it's oversubscribed only raises suspicions.
Hi Tiger,
Thanks for your feedback.
I totally agree with you on this, unfortunately I was on leave, and the staff in my department just followed protocol in collecting the details.
I agree the situation was not the best managed but unfortunately I was away during this time and therefore not able to make the required changes. We have since updated the page to reflect this.
I can confirm though, it definitely was not a marketing scam or anything along those lines - the site has been live for about 18 months and has served its purpose for businesses looking for promotional products. The site showertimers.com.au does clearly state the offer of a sample is for businesses, so it is an unfortunate situation.
Thanks,
Landon Kahn
