Hi Ozbargainers,

I'm a first time poster (take it easy) and have been waiting for the right deal. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this deal. A heated towel rail at 100% discount with free shipping.

The towel rail best price I could find elsewhere is Harvey Norman for $129.
http://www.harveynorman.com.au/forme-jersey-3-bar-heated-tow…

I checked that Ozimall is a genuine website with an ABN. I've also seen other deals posted in this forum for ozimall.
https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/ozimall.com.au

I ordered one and the receipt came through successfully. No credit card details needed. I am now following up as it has been 4 days without a tracking number sent through. I wanted to wait to see if it arrived before posting here - but decided to open for discussion anyhow.

Any comments of what customers right are on a potential mispricing from a company could be useful.

Cheers
Bob

    Thats awesome. Just ordered 3 and got confirmation. Now just waiting for them to email me back and cancel the order because it was a price mistake.

      I just deleted the email alias I created for this.
      If they do email me like this, I will never know, and can stay hopeful forever :)

      I just ordered 100,000. I’m going to quit my job for a while and get into the towel rail game.

      • Kangal on 29/07/2017 - 18:32

        I'm just about to order 1,000,000 hopefully their servers can handle the stress… I'm looking to retiring early.

    Thanks, Bob. Hoping it's a loss-leader to get people signed up to the website… though the cynical side of me says it's a glitch! Let's see…

    Only took a minute to order…worst case I've lost a minute if it's indeed a pricing error.

      Worst case is you've given your name, address and phone number to a complete stranger who knows you like free sh!t.

          I love free sh!t.

          Then in 5-years I donate all my free gotten free sh!t to the salvos, Council kerb side pickup or the good old trusted wheelie bin.

      And rightfully so! A pricing error is different from bait and switch or misleading the customer. Can't expect businesses (small businesses anyway) to go broke over an harmless mistake

    Why has 25 people voted positive? What is your reason? Not a bargain. Obvious pricing error. Nobody is going to get this, guaranteed.

        • ozy on 28/07/2017 - 21:37

          @Orpheus: totally agree with you mate, and if you value your postal address then I wouldn't even click on these types of deals in future.
          Realistically there is 99% chance deals like this are a scam or an error that won't be honoured, but as I said, some deals are honoured and that 1 out of 100 is worth a freebie.

          I'm not telling you what to do, but maybe don't click these deals in future if you deem them rubbish (as was the case ultimately in this post)

      • Tacooo on 28/07/2017 - 10:15

        Some small items are honoured at the wrong markdown price. No one is giving away thousands of heated towel rails worth $129 a piece and then paying shipping on top. Be realistic.

    Guys, I can see Orpheus' point. Although I got a receipt 4 days ago - they haven't confirmed shipping yet. However, considering it takes 60 seconds to order without a credit card I thought many people would be willing to order even if it's an absolute rank outside chance that they honor it. It can't be considered a bargain until delivered… but if it does - PAAAAARTY!!!

      I know, I know. The satisfaction in getting a $129 towel rail for free was less than the satisfaction of 1000 people ordering a free towel rail that never arrives. I'm pretty selfless ;-)

    Apologies to all for the disappointment. As many people suspected it was a clear pricing error. Always worth a shot!! I'll play it safer with my second post. If you really want the towel rail Harvey Normal offer it at $129 including free delivery. This one seems genuine.
