$13 shipping is a killer
Agreed, shipping is a deal-breaker.
$13 shipping is a
killermoneymakerFTFY
I bought a 2m or so cable yesterday at MSY for like $4. Delivery absolutely kills this.
What makes a network cable illegal/legal?
The telecommunications act, S008 Wiring Rules, RCM etc. A cable must be tested and approved in order to be sold here in Australia.
ANYTHING, electrical, battery operated, radio frequency, phone etc has an Australian standard and This country does not recognise things like CE or FCC
Maybe actual cost price? Australia Post wouldn't charge me that, which means you should be paying even less.
Australia post is minimum under eparcel $6.95 and does not determine location or weight
@execab: Exactly. Not $13.14.
And pending packaging you could even get away for around half your number.
@scuderiarmani: so how does one make money if they are selling at cost and then have to foot the bill for packaging? labour to pack etc. or does no one make money?
I feel like the OP is being silly in that no one thinks buying a 99c cable and $13 shipping is at all sensible.
It would make sense if the OP tried to bundle say $25 worth of purchaser selectable cables and then have no or discounted shipping?
I'm not a merchant and somehow I understand how to sell cables in a more paleatable manner than the OP?
Also is not good manners to make accusations about a competitor and then ask people to "google it yourself".
If you make an accusation you provide the evidence.
I'm not here to find proof for your attack on someone else. Nor are we around to work out your logistics problems. That's on you.
My advice: dont buy from someone who is this defensive when they want YOUR business.
Please provide a source to back up your claims?
It's just a flat, cable. Shipping wouldn't cost that much. CPL/MSY or even eBay with their free postage way cheaper with lots of +ve feedbacks.
its not a flat cable, they are illegal to sell in Australia
Flat cables do not conform to wiring standards because they fall outside of the 22-26awg standard under Australian wiring rules
Flat cables are not illegal in Australia check out AFL/AFC branding cables.
again show me the legislation that says cables above 26awg can be approved for use in Australia?
@execab: Probably cannot as awg you originally referred to is the American standard. Not Australian standard.
Wow are you a robot OP? LOL… hexapling didn't mean the cable was physically flat… they meant when the cable is rolled up in a bag it is reasonably flat and easy to ship cheaply. Compute?
A cat 5e cable for $12 is not a bargain.
Recently bought 50M cat 6 for $8.95 each including shipping from eBay.
Took ages to ship though.
There is no way that could even be legal. probably direct from china. Does it even have Australian compliance on it?
It’s comms cabling not power cabling. Legality prob not an issue.
If not up to standard user will pay with lower bandwidth, not fines.
legality is if you have a issue say insurance, and it is directly or indirectly connected to a problematic item which requires insurance cover it can be knocked back. many issues arise in uncertified cabling such as Power over ethernet in CCA cabling which is Copper Clad Aluminium, its a fire risk.
I bet you're kicking yourself now. You could have bought 97% less cable and only have paid 34% more…
Do you have a link to this? Sounds like a good deal :)
This is great value if you need to order in bulk. say I needed 120 1.5m cat5e patch… this works out nearly half the price of fs.com. fs.com is free shipping over $99 and execab charge $40. it's is still about $295 at fs and $160 at execab.
FS.com and I have an email to prove it, DO NOT have any Australian certifications to sell in Australia. if you are putting these into a workplace or commercial environment you can be fined for doing so. They are a Chinese company that came to Australia to sell here without learning the local market
see from their email
Hi Neil,
Thanks for sharing this with me.
May I know the products you order for your company use or resell?
As I know, our products don't have Australian compliance markings, but our products passed RoHS, FCC etc, you can learn more at https://www.fs.com/company/quality_control.html
We ship many orders to Australia every day, it seems we have't heard customers feedback what you mentioned. Thanks.
Regards,
Fined under what law. And what’s is your “certification”
you mean fair trading laws, s008 wiring rules, telecommunications act? WHS Act, your kidding me right?
All manufacturers have to be responsible suppliers and licensed to do so, using a permit number issued by the Australian Communications & Media Authority. All products prior to sale must be sent to a certified laboratory and tested and approved with a certificate issued to you before sale.
when you look at a cable it will have the old A-tick or new RCM followed by a number Nxxxx that is the manufacturers number and that's what gives you the right to sue someone in case something goes wrong.
@execab: When referencing a standard helps to pin point the actual item. Instead of rattling any standard / act you can think of.
The telecommunications act doesn’t specify technical requirements. Ie AWG sizing you refer to before is American standard not Australian.
Are you kidding me that you know what you are talking about.
Just lol
It's bargain - but the postage is criminal.
13 dollar for a cable… i would better to buy from paddy's market :P
i wish you are well to sell 1 million cable for 13 dollar…. but for this offer i would say no deal !
postage…..
Negging again because the postage makes this not a bargain.
Big $$$ should mean to save big $$$. A saving of 10% …10 cents…is not big $$$.
