        Nope not bait advertising, just Ozbargained.

        I know all stores in Canberra had stock when I ordered mine earlier today, assume stores had a few each. Just a really good buy at this price!

    • yeah, I have the same result for me in metro sydney. great value if you can get it.

  • +1

    When I last checked Ballarat and Echuca had stock.

  • +1

    Some in Townsville area but that's about it

  • Just got a call from one of the stores in WA.. "I'm sorry, but we actually don't have stock"… fkn useless.

    • Give Warnbro a call. It's say there is none online but I saw 4 there yesterday. Worth a shot if you're still keen.

  • +1

    Mount Gambier in SA and Wonthaggi in Vic seem to have stock by the website. Too far for me to go so might have to miss out on this great deal. I have an aldi stirling fridge (possibly 2015/16 model and looks the exact same as this and cannot fault it at all).

  • +1

    Bought 1 Online , Collecting it from Singleton NSW Tomorrow

  • Thanks for great deal OP.

    Still stock in LISMORE NSW.

    • No stock in Lismore now

      • Northern New South Wales would have made a nice trip up from Dubbo to pick up if you grabbed one, maybe bit far lol.

        • +1

          maybe bit far lol.

          If you're going to holiday in Byron Bay, not far to lismore. About an hours drive.

          I was definitely planning on hitting Byron some time over summer, maybe sooner rather than later now.

        • +5

          No need for fridge there, everyone just uses ice.

      • +1

        Just checked. Lismore still has stock. I purchased 1 at lismore. Still able to add to checkout as of now.

          Just wondering if you come from Flanders in Belgium, or just a cool username.

          I am born in Oostende in West Vlaanders.

          • +1

            @ozhunter68: Might be a fan of a cool aussie band named Flanders about 20 years ago. They had a bit of air play on JJJ at the time.
            Or a Simpsons fan.

            • +1

              @DarwinBoy: Haha,…your probably right. Although I call Australia my beloved home, you can tell I still have some fond memories from my childhood ( fantastic frieten ( chips ) and mayonnaise, chocolate and baked delights ), and as an adult lot's of great beers.

          • +1

            @ozhunter68: Not from Belgium. My friend Üter is from there though :)
            And yes, a huge simpsons fan. The greatest animated series there is, ever was, and ever will be…

            • +1

              @Flanders: Nice one. Have a good holiday in the Shire.

              keep in mind Big W wants people to collect orders within 10 days unless maybe you can extend with a phone call.

              If you can power fridge on the way back, enjoy your cold refreshments lol.

  • Nothing available in Perth

    For those who missed out in WA near Maylands/Mirrabooka A new one for $270 ono

    https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mirrabooka/camping-hiking/ca…

    • That was actually posted a week ago so unlikely it someone trying to profit from this deal so no real need to neg

      • I was just showing the ad and still hopefully available unit to "anthem29" and others who missed out in WA who might consider buying that one from GumTree, was not pointing out a broaden and/or negging anyone ( he is not even making any profit anyway as it's $270 ono ).

  • Looks like it's all sold out now, anyone know of available stock or is it the to mark this as expired.

    • +1

      Replying to myself, still showing stock in Emerald QLD

    • +1

      Last night there were 4 on the shelf @ Robina 4226 QLD.

  • +1

    Werribee Vic has some available

    Edit: now sold out. South Yarra Vic next best option

  • +3

    Yep seems some stock popping up again. Me just got one from epping. Thanks op!!

  • Any in brisbane and gold coast qld?

  • Just got an e-mail saying "Unfortunately we are unable to supply the below items in your recent order"

    No details as to why. Had selected pickup from Brickworks, Torrensville SA. Anyone else received the same?

    • Probably sold last one as you were checking out, the checkouts for most websites do not put a hold on the items until after payment. IMHO they should have to honor it since they removed your chance to try another store.

      • I've asked for them to explain why they can't honour it since both this store and 3 others locally were showing stock when I purchased. Don't imagine I'll get anywhere though…

        • Yep just got the same email.

    • yep same one. how do we complain? Brickworks clearly doesn't want to honour it.

      • I'm on the phone to them now but not expecting to get anywhere

        • might go there and check and see if there is anything on the shelf

          • @[Deactivated]: Spoke to the manager there. He said the issue for them at Brickworks was their stocking system showed several fridges available but when they've gone to locate them this morning they don't actually have any in stock at all.

            Also spoke to the online orders people and they called around several other SA stores, all said no stock.

            • @Tr0jan: what a load of crap. inventory systems might be 1 off, but not several.

              did they offer to get you one?

              • @[Deactivated]: Nope. Neither the manager in store nor the online team could honour the price. They could possible get me one at full retail but that's it

                • @Tr0jan: why can't they just have you wait for the next stock to come in? SCA did that for me recently.

                  i think they don't WANT to honour it.

                  • @[Deactivated]: They probably don't because it's a crazy low price and online only. Ah well not a lot more I can do, will send an e-mail of complaint but don't believe that will get me anywhere either

                    • @Tr0jan: 'crazy low price' is not an excuse not to honour if other stores are honouring it. it's deceptive practice. probably worth lodging a complaint with ACCC but it's too much effort for me.

                      will type the strongly worded email with one hand as well whilst shaking my fist in the air with the other.

  • +1

    Just received the email to collect mine. It advises if not collected in 10 days that it will be refunded and order cancelled.

  • +2

    My payment has been refunded as they can’t supply the order. Just headed out to pick it up, too. I’ll head in store and see what’s on the shelf anyway.

    Perhaps it was a sign that I didn’t actually need one.

    At least that’s what I’m telling myself.

  • -1

    My status is showing cancelled? Gay….

  • -3

    F'n dogs. Store showed stock. Now they cancel. F u you dogs. Fix your system and don't take people's money unless you have the goods.

    • +1

      Don't insult dogs by lumping them in with incompetent people!

    • Same story here. Just got the cancellation call. But I could clearly see it is in-stock when I order.

  • I am wondering how many people will actually collect their order now

  • Can't believe I missed out. Been looking for a camping fridge the last month. Absolute bargain if you have one in your hands for this price

  • Cancelled the order on me as well, after taking money

  • +1

    Theres stock showing in Armidale NSW 2370, if anyone wants to try

    • I bought one. I'll pop down and see if they actually have stock though

      • Youll have to wait for your pickup email. I did mine through the Inverell store and it took 20 minutes to get the collection email

      • Did you get the last one in Armidale?

        • I think so. I didn’t get my ready to pick up email until 5:30 so didn’t make it down today. Will go in the morning and get it

          • @j05h: Sweet. My Inverell order collection went perfect

  • Only buy in store .. web ordering waste of time it would seem

  • +3

    got mine last night, They have a good quality cover included, a 12v plug and a 240v main plug. This is a very good deal. freeze everything a day or two before putting in car with fridge. It will help run it efficiently. It has low voltage cut off as well.

    • +2

      Ran out of votes ( positive ) so came here to thank you for your follow up information. Many people ( including me ) will be happy to hear it definitely has a 240v main plug as well as a low voltage cut off.

      Is there a 240V cable included as well? What other cables/types are included?

      Thanks :-)

      • +1

        Its has both 240 and 12v cords included. So it comes with 2 different power cords and a cover and an internal wire plastic coated basket.

        • +2

          Can I ask, is the fridge quiet? Or do you notice it's loud/white noise? I do plan to use it in bedroom as temporarily staying in a rented room. Thanks in advance

          • +1

            @njpakt: It is extremely quiet. I cannot tell when its on or off i have to bend down and listen.

    • +1

      thanks for the update on the 240V. I was a bit worried that it didn't have that capability. this looks like an Indel B fridge, and i wasn't sure whether it was a TB41 (DC only) or a TB41A (AC/DC).

      I could only find one in my parent's town, and have received the pick up notification. i think i'll give my mum a hurry along to go get it, as i am getting a little concerned about all these cancellations.

  • okay not sure what i did wrong was trying to help

    • Private selling is not allow

  • My order got cancelled from Burleigh store :(

    • Wow, that's bad luck. Late last night was about to buy from that same store and few minutes later was sold out/gone, so went for Lismore instead. See if mine will still be there Thursday lol.

  • +1

    Have just come from the Noosa store and there is still one on the shelf

    • Did you get one yourself?

      Thanks for letting people know ( ran out of votes lol ).

      • Yep, picked it up this morning from Noosa

  • Thanks OP. Picked one up from Waverley Gardens (VIC) this morning (9:30AM). Had to go to service desk to get online price. There was still one more that I saw in the store.

  • +1

    Good reading with positive feedback here on similar/same model(s) from South Africa, interesting read if you have the time.

      Sweet.

      4XForum did a "shootout" between Engel and National Lunar, with Campmaster being a Johnny come lately entry. They concluded that the Campmaster was the coldest, consumed the least battery power and rated it the best value for money of the three.

      I was rapt when I got it home and saw that the padded bag was included and that bot the 240v (jug/PC lead) and the 12v are both completely removable.

      • Wow! Nothing but good news here, maybe too good to be true lol.

        For now, the only bad thing that can happen is I go to pick it up ( received my order conformation and pick up email ), and find out they have no stock lol

  • +1

    Just picked mine up, 240v cable included!

    • That's what I wanted to hear. Cheers.

  • My order was cancelled and they only offer refund of $94. Wtf. I sent them an angry reply.

    • let us know how you went with getting full refund.

  • Picked mine up this morning. There was a worrying moment as they couldn't' seem to find it and had to call someone but thankfully all good.

  • +1

    I just got the 'Sorry but we are unable to supply…" email.

    There was definitely stock showing last bought when I put the order in.

    Big W click'n'bait bullsh1t. They should have reasonable stock levels and none of this "we just checked and our count was incorrect".

    I'll complain to accc

    • Agree. I didn’t order, but this wasn’t a price error, they should honor it.

    • if stock magically appears in all stores tomorrow then you might have something to go on

      otherwise they'll just call error and say sorry but too bad

      i got 1 out of 3 orders made.

  • Here’s their reply when I questioned why the order was cancelled:

    “Unfortunately there is a slight time delay between our warehouse system that indicates stock levels, and the ability to make the purchase on our website.
    This can mean that the item is still 'available' on our website for a slight time, when our warehouse is out of stock, and an order has to be rejected.
    This generally only happens when we have an unprecedented amount of interest in an item and unfortunately do not have the stock levels to support it. We always try to stock reasonable quantities for items.
    We try to eliminate this as much as possible, and are developing continuous improvements on our software and website to prevent this from happening in the future.
    We do frequently receive more stock each week and we are working extra hard to have all stocks replenished, so please keep an eye on the product page for updates.

    We do not offer rain check.

    The refund was processed back to the payment method you used.
    Our sincere apologies that you experienced this error in your purchase with shopping with us.”

    • Yeah i was also a unfortunate victim of this BS. Sad that they can do that an not honor on back stock

    • if they receive stock each week then i don't see why they can't fill the order. it's a very short timeframe.

      it's clear they don't want to honour it for whatever reason.

      again, if these popup in store tomorrow then it might be worth threatening action with the ACCC

      empty threats of course.

      • Don't underestimate the ACCC. I dobbed in my local Coles once when the ran out on day 1 of a special that was advertised for 2 weeks and they refused to give a rain check.

        I never heard back from the ACCC, but when the same scenario happened again a few weeks later at that Coles they were extremely apologetic and offered a rain check without me asking. Some serious talking to must have had happened in the meantime… Maybe coincidence, but maybe my ACCC complaint had made its way up the chain of command…

        • Haha,me thinks you just got a different staff member in a better mood lol.

  • I got the same response…

    Let the saga begin.

  • Ditto …

  • Same experience as the others above, "Unfortunately we are unable to supply the below items in your recent order." Payment returned in 3-5 days. This was from ordering from the Epping (VIC) store which was showing stock yesterday morning.

  • Same reply from BigW Warringah mall

  • In Canberra, cancelled by Gangahlin store yesterday

    • It appears that I've enjoyed a little good fortune then - picked mine up from Majura (ACT) yesterday afternoon.

      I'd always balked at paying a heap of money for a half decent camping/vehicle fridge. Pity that they aren't configured for use with the sh*tload of Eneloops that I've picked up because of my OzB addiction!

      • Yes you are very lucky. I shouldn't have chosen Gangahlin store..

        Now I am hoping someone would sell it on Gumtree.

        T.T

  • Keep posting portable fridge deals, I regret that I didn't buy it

  • Yep i second this motion.. need decent priced portable fridge

  • +1

    An update here, I got a phone call from Big W online, "We are sorry for the stock issue. Are you still interested in this fridge? you have another chance to buy it at $249. " Then I went to my local BigW and paid, after which BigW online sent me the item.
