    LOL

    $90/kg for cheese and get $5 off is not a bargain…

    • Thank you for your comment. The Red Cow sells a range of artisan cheese starting from about $50/kg.

    Cheese wrapped in cheese paper ($1.50)

    WT ???

    Otherwise they just stick a stamp on the cheese unwrapped ?

      perhaps read before you troll.

      "How we wrap your cheese

      Freshness of your cheese is important to us. That’s why – unless noted differently in the description – we package all of our cheese in vacuum bags to help minimize travel impacts. However, we understand that some of you prefer cheese being wrapped in cheese wrap. This option is available to you for a small fee (it takes more time to package the cheese this way, that’s why we charge you a little bit more). Unless specifically noted in the description, all cheese will come with a minimum of 14 days best-before date. Please note that with cheese this is often only a guidance date and does not necessarily mean the cheese will be of lesser quality beyond that date. In fact many soft(er) cheeses are best kept close to or until after that date for maximum ripeness".

        So your happy to pay for someone to wrap your cheese then? Good for you… I'm not. Especially when you're paying up to $90/kg for cheese…

    • As written in the product description, all cheese comes in vacuum packs unless the cheese paper option is chosen. It takes longer to wrap the cheese in cheese paper plus proper cheese paper (waxed paper) is expensive, hence the slight add-on costs.

  • drop shipped from ALI Express?

  • The Red Cow / Exp 30 June

    Looks like the cheese is short dated

    • +1

      All of our cheese are dated as described in the product description. The expiry date of 30 June is - of course - only for this coupon code.

      • +2

        The description implies that you have short dated merchandise expiring on 30/6 for which a paltry $5 discount is offered… hence this site has a deal expiry function which you have used correctly, but I would recommend removing the expiry date from the title.

        Nice cheese but I daresay you can purchase a wider variety from the fromager at any half decent weekend market at equivalent prices, and without the lead time or $1.50 wrapping fee.

        Despite your discount being 10%, it's on the lowest priced item, anything else is under 10% off, which doesn't generally meet the criteria of a bargain in this community.

          The description implies that you have short dated merchandise expiring on 30/6

          Yep, that's what the Rep posted in the title…

      • Your title offers your fellow OzBargain members cheese and shows an expiry date. Your 'edit' button is between 'view' and 'revisions'.

        • Thank you for your very detailed explanation. We've revised the offer to explain that NOT the cheese but the COUPON is expiring at 30 June. We thought it was pretty clear beforehand but obviously not. Apologies for that.

        • @tombat24: We like to see prices. Bargains have prices.

    Do your suppliers smile as they insert their arms in the cows' anuses in order to position the cervix while they stick probes into their vaginas to inject semen while restrained within, as the farmers themselves call them, "rape racks"?

        Agitated enough to comment - cool!

        Now care to make a substantive comment rather than an empty retort?

        • +1

          Empty retort? I was aiming for casual observation, but seeing as your jimmies are well & truly rustled, I'll have to reconsider.

          But please, enlighten all of us living in blissful ignorance about the plight of domestic farm animals and the delicious consequences of industrialised agriculture…

      • Yeah, fancy that. I didn't even know the cow needed to be inseminated in order to produce milk.

        • +1

          She's a mammal. Milk is for mammalian babies.

          Her child is also destroyed so people can take her milk. Also called veal, a by-product of dairy.

          Who'd wish that upon any mother boggles my mind, but apparently cheese is worth it to most people.

          @thevofa:

          I'm a big fan of veal scallopine, which combines the best of both mother and offspring in a single mouth-watering dish!

    • At $90 per kg I hope they at least grin broadly and blow a kiss if being videoed.

    Merchants should note that small reductions, excessive conditions, and other costs related to the deal will NOT be well received. Users will likely vote negative for your deals which in turn leads to performance based store bans.

  • Negging because lower prices elsewhere:-

    http://www.theredcow.com.au/shop/products/girolle-the-origin…
    $95.00 - $5 code lessthanyouwant = $90.00 + $13.80 Regular Post = $103.80
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ibili-Girolle-Cheese-Scraper-Shav…
    $48.90 - 5% code C5OZ = $46.46 + $8.90 Postage = $55.36 … almost half OP's discounted price.

    • The two items are not the same. The one in The Red Cow store is the orginial made in Switzerland where as the eBay example is a copy made who knows where. It's like comparing a ROLEX made in Switzerland with a "Rolex" made in Hong Kong.

      • Your product page discloses nothing about the actual origin of the parts "assembled in the workshop in Lajoux, Switzerland". It also features absolutely no reviews but you want your fellow OzBargain members to pay $103.80. Have I got that right?

  • -1

    LOL go knock yourself out on eBay then. Good luck! You know that we want to do is provide high quality products to the readership of OzBargain. Obviously this isn't wanted here. All the nay-sayers are typical of sites like this one. Sad.

      You joined Australia's foremost bargains website. We come here for bargains. You have not posted one.

  • Did you realise that the $5 discount applies on anything without restriction of minimum purchase value? So this could entitle the user to a discount of 28.5% if you ordered a Pear reduction (Birehong) shipped to Victoria (total costs $17.50). How is that not a bargain? Of course for more expensive items the % discount decreases but that's just the nature of a fixed $ discount whatever the amount. So please do your maths properly first before you troll.

    • As Member jv says, $90/kg for cheese and get $5 off is not a bargain. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/4787722/redir The same applies to $50/kg cheese. Your description shows no prices. Bargains have prices. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/4800900/redir

      Members need to see the value. At OzBargain the description area resembles a shop window. You could invest 3 minutes adding 4+ example bargains with direct links and obviously prices to generate Members' interest. Nobody minds you adding 20 or 30 example bargains. You prefer to argue.

      As for doing my maths properly, in 121 hours this post has achieved 58 clicks, 3 of them mine. As I type, we have 1,316 members and 4,886 guests online.

  • Finally a constructive feedback. The exacmple links idea is a good one. We'll incorporate that in a next update. As to the clicks stats I'm not sure what that really means. But thanks anyway!

    • Sorry, I was busy knocking myself out on eBay. At OzBargain every post undergoes scrutiny, including those submitted by Moderators and scotty himself. Regarding example bargains, there are 9 more days until 30th June and your 'edit' button is between 'view' and 'revisions'.

      Your website was accessed from this post 58 times. 58 clicks in (now) 125 hours might be OzBargain's least successful post this year. $5 off is not considered a bargain. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/4788582/redir

      If you return, post something your fellow OzBargain members perceive as a bargain. The first few hours usually determine a post's success or failure.
