I wanted some osprey packs and it seems quite cheap with an Australian address attached.
I tried to look it up elsewhere and it doesn't seem to have any reviews.
I did however find the website mentioned here for a completely unrelated topic:
https://www.givenow.com.au/waveri
"We live, work and play in Cortez, Colorado, where life moves at a slower pace and traffic jams are caused by cattle drives."
…..
Queensland you say?
the whole "about us" page is stolen from the Osprey site.
https://www.waverinc.com.au/about-us/
https://www.osprey.com/au/en/culture/history
yeah, nah.
sure they have an oz address, but that is the only thing linking this website to australia.
to me it looks like another cookie cutter scamming website.
things that concern me-
every page has the same generalized spiel as every other scammy site.
there is no mention (aside from that one contact us page) of this being an australian site or company - despite the ABN -which is easily stolen)
postage - very generalised- no mention of auspost, star-track, etc being used.
prices seem quite cheap - yeah, warning.
looks like a scam
I'd avoid the site and thus avoid the headache it will likely bring.
Thanks guys! Knew I could rely on you! Will try the whois next time.
If you do end up ordering through them, can you get me a Beef Vindaloo and rice? Thanks
If it is substantially cheaper than other sites then I would be skeptical. Per the publically available information in the Whois lookup - dodgy foreign sounding email addresses - I would give it a miss:

One of the results when I Googled the company name says:

The last thing that took my interest was the address listed on the Waverinc website under contact us - I looked it up on Google Streetview - it looks to be an Indian restaurant…..
