  Went into their website and it forced you to register before you can view its "wholesale" price as they stated.

  So I registered and eagerly find out what sort of "wholesale" price there.

  look one one product, to another, hmm…, hold on, where is this wholesale price as they promised?

  All I could find is, well, quite disapppointing

  eg (below is the product that I am genuinely looking to buy in the next few days),

  750gb samsung, $128 wholesale, somewhere else $125 (http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=samsung+750…)
  250gb lacie, $149 wholesale, somewhere else $135 (http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=LACIE+250GB)

  I didn't check Staticice - I checked Fluidtek and they were more expensive. I guess like all bargains there is someone who will go lower. In this case if you are new to trade club you do save the shipping.

  the 750gb for $125 is actually from ccpu computer, across the road from fluidtek…

    I looked at staticice and you are correct. So the difference is $3, if you live close to ccpu then thats better deal. if you need shipping and you haven't bought from Tradeclub then its probably cheaper with the intro free shipping offer.

    Looking at ccpu they want $98 for the 500GB drive so in that case Tradeclub is cheaper by $9 plus free shipping. Whereas ITestate is $85 which beats both, so in this case ccpu could be considered as disappointing.

    I guess the aim is to inform, which this thread has done. Although all this is beaten by the 1TB WD drive at Officeworks - while it was available.

      I couldnt agree more. I am sure I will look and compare prices at tradeclub.com.au for my future purchases.

      I was more intriqued by their claim of "wholesale price" which turned out just probably their "marketing spin"..

  I'd never heard of this place before this post but I was happy to see a 320GB LaCie 2.5" HDD that I've been shopping for is $156 inc GST and the cheapeston StaticIce was $230.

  After registering to join I notice they have a FREE FIRST SHIPPING offer, however when I added this coupon to my CART, it added an $88 charge to my total order ?!??!?!
