SUNCHEF

Mod: OP is associated with the Pinpoint group, who owns Alwaysonsale, which is banned for misleading deals, which is why the poster linked to Buckscoop. Whether the OP saw this deal or whether this is viral marketing campaign is anyone's guess.

Note that Alwaysonsale's last post, http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/23558, they never delivered what was promised, you may find you won't receive your items.

Hey guys, I posted up a deal not long ago from Deal Monkey (daily deals site) where you get a free $50 voucher to use on Sunbeam products if you purchase a Masterchef magazine subscription. I'm giving away the coupon ($50) without you having to buy the magazine, it's not unique and works for everybody that uses it!

The same coupon I received has worked for 2 friends! I bought a toaster worth $65 for only $6.31 and one of friends bought a Rice Cooker for $15 thats worth like $70. The coupon is meant for all Sunbeam products over $50 I think.

The Code is SUNCHEF

If the code doesn't work for you guys please delete this post, but it has worked for my friends.

    The combination of a misleading buckscoop link and the bad history are enough for me to neg this one.

    OzBargainers, think for yourself.

    Why link to a proxy site which refers you to a deal for a banned website known for NOT-DELIVERING ITEMS PAID FOR?
    Why not just link directly (the main title link, not the one in the info) to the banned website? Oh wait, because it's been banned for fraudulent activity.

    Seriously, we're all after a bargain but remember that the deal isn't free. So not only do you give away your personal info (which is a given as an OzBargainer) but you'll be out of pocket for a bit.

  • dins on 21/06/2011 - 21:24

      Look at the previous deal listed by the same company that the mod posted: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/23558

      Judge for yourself if you should be concerned -> Look at the last page of comments of people asking for cashbacks, refunds, chargebacks, etc.

  • A Banana4scale on 21/06/2011 - 21:36

    Lets get this negged into oblivion.
    Judging from reading the previous deal,I would stay way clear of the company. This has to be one of the most dodgiest things I have seen

  • DCx3 on 21/06/2011 - 22:13
    +1

    One would hope the site learned from the last saga of trying to scam, and with more money being involved this time due to items being much more expensive, one will hope they honor the deals and deliver on time. Because if they don't there will have to be something done so this website and company's owner cannot do business anymore

    At the same time this deal has been absolutely ozbargained and it is unlikely they will have not enough sunbeam products to meet demand. They will have to make the decision on whether to refund or otherwise there could be a lot of charge backs

  • dkslim on 21/06/2011 - 22:28

    A little late for the warnings, don't you think? Interesting how nobody posted any warnings until just a couple of hours ago, plenty of people have already bought based on the initial positive comments.

    • lisss on 22/06/2011 - 09:17

      Yep, I warned you within 30 mins of the deal being posted. I think this is a lesson that people need to think for themselves and resist getting swept up in mass excitement. Dodgy sites like Alwaysonsale will use Ozbargain to trick people into behaving irrationally, we need to be aware of this danger.

    Same username spammed the Ten community forums today with alwaysonsale deals and got removed (google cache might still show it)

    I still havent figured out how you get an iron for $6 + shipping

    You can only buy a single item > $50 or multiple items totalling > $50

    But if you buy multiple items you pay multiple shipping fees of $14.95 + the processing fees

    So the iron must cost around $55 but there is no item at that price. Pity so many things are $49….

    I have had BAD dealings with this company. Took my money and never delivered. Only refunded me after I chased them up repeatedly. I was terribly annoyed as it was a Christmas hamper which they never sent nor cared to contact me about. Basically, the status said pending for months after they took my payment! They never contact me nor made any attempt to refund for being unable to deliver a CHRISTMAS hamper.. logic says that there's no point in a pending christmas hamper order AFTER christmas! I had to chase them up and ask for a refund. Avoid! ps their phone line is hell to get through…

Reading the Maglite comments made me really angry, their motives were so obvious, dodgeyyyyyyy.

  • seijai on 22/06/2011 - 11:49

    After ordering, it did show Pinpoint Marketing in 104 Reynolds Street, Balmain on the final screen.

    At least we have an address to egg their employees if the deal doesn't come through.

    • DCx3 on 22/06/2011 - 13:12

      looking at google maps and doing street view shows that this is a residential area more than likely not a correct address. On the actual alwaysonsale website they say their address is 145 Darling Street, Balmain, NSW 2041, Australia, using street view it looks like a place where you can run a business albeit a run down place, and it did have a newish looking 4 wheel drive parked under it.

    • flipstardirect on 22/06/2011 - 13:27

  • andy19363 on 22/06/2011 - 11:52

    Have bought from them before….. (some cookware)…. and it did arrive….. However, their shipping times were lengthy…. the item initially didn't arrive, so had to be re-ordered…. with similar lengthy shipping time. Was probably around 8-10 weeks all up.

    I'd be wary of ordering from them again….

      If my order does not arrive with the timeframe stated in the email:

      Delivery Time Frame: Please allow up to 15 BUSINESS DAYS for delivery.

      I will be cancelling it and seeking a refund or chargeback.

      • flipstardirect on 22/06/2011 - 13:25

        If that does happen, just do a chargeback straight away -> they beat around the bush with refunds lol. But of course try first, just don't hold out waiting on them, take action on your side :)

        • delfredo on 22/06/2011 - 14:04

          How do you do a chargeback?

        • flipstardirect on 22/06/2011 - 14:51

          Call your credit card company and tell them to do a 'chargeback' on the payment to alwaysonsale. If they ask for a reason, tell them you suspect fraudulent activity - that's pretty much the best reason you can give plus if lots of ppl chargeback a certain company it might bring the fraud section's attention to it :)

        • anthony on 22/06/2011 - 18:55

          if they ask for a reason, tell them you suspect fraudulent activity

          There is no reason to lie and telling them that you did not authorise the charge might mean the bank will cancel your card and issue you with another which means you have to change all your payments and you will not have a credit card while your new one is sent out.

          If you need to then tell them that you never received a refund, it is an allowed reason
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chargeback#Reason_codes

          just do a chargeback straight awa

          A charheback is not something you do first. It is the last thing you should do.

        Not delivering it to you within 15 days is not a reason they should give you a refund.

        If it arrives on the 16th day you should not get to keep the product for free just because their delivery company was not able to deliver it to you before some date

    To: delfredo

    I can't reply above (as I guess the nesting is too deep).

    Yes, I will be. The page shown during the ordering process is labelled "Order Confirmation/Tax Invoice" however it is not a valid tax invoice as per http://www.ato.gov.au/content/downloads/bus50913nat123581020…

    You will see that a valid tax invoice must contain: "the amount of GST (if any) payable for each sale". The Pinpoint document does not contain this information.

    A supplier has 28 days from the date of request within which it must provide a valid tax invoice.

    • delfredo on 26/06/2011 - 09:49

      Thanks. Let us know how it goes. No option to print invoice at website either when logged in with email add and postcode.

  • Jayphen on 26/06/2011 - 14:28

    My credit card provider called me this morning about suspected fraudulent activity. Someone tried to purchase something for $1 through iTunes using my card. The card was instantly frozen, and then declined another 5 times. This definitely wasn't me. I haven't purchased anything online since placing my order through Alwaysonsale.

    Coincidence?

    • c64 on 26/06/2011 - 23:38

      possibly your computer has a keylogger on it. possibly your cc info was collected some time back …

      • Jayphen on 28/06/2011 - 11:55

        No, there is no keylogger on my Mac.

        Yes, it's possible it was collected some time back. It seems like a big coincidence though.

    • anthony on 29/06/2011 - 16:16

      Coincidence?

      I think so.

      When credit card details are stolen they are grouped into "packages" and people buy lots of numbers in one go.

      I think it would take more than a week for someone to collect lots of card numbers, group them, sell then and then for someone to pick yours to start using.

      Generally on line stores use a third party payment provider so they never see your credit card details.
      Even though you type your credit card details into their website does not mean that they get/see/use your credit card information.

      www.eway.com.au are one of the big payment gateways.

      If alwaysonsale is using something like eway (which is more than likely) then they never saw your credit card information.

    Hello,

    I just received my toaster today and my colleagues received the items as well. However all packaging are really bad (some boxes have 10 cm holes). Not sure whether the items are new or refurbished.

    • delfredo on 12/07/2011 - 15:02

      Did you get a tax invoice?

  • OZNETiCS on 11/07/2011 - 14:27

    got my pie maker today. Packaging perfect for me so far

    • dins on 11/07/2011 - 18:28

      Finally I received my pie maker as well but with a large chunk of plastic broken off out of the bottom and inside the unit. I will have to try it out and see if it even works. Not sure how hard plastic could have broken off during delivery since it was held in place by 2 side holders inside the box so won't be surprised if it was a return or refurbished one. The box itself didn't look new to me.

  • diamondtouch1 on 12/07/2011 - 15:43

    yeap, it was shrink wrapped tightly, but the boxes themselves look pretty crap and beat up. Mine had a few large gashes in the box, mum hasn't used the mixer thing yet, but theres a strong chance its not a brand new one, but a refurb/factory second, which is just BS, as it was marked as brand new.

  • SSJX on 12/07/2011 - 18:10

    Got my blender today; shrink wrapped as described above.
    Box was in good-to-ok condition.
    Unit inside was brand new. Tested and works perfectly.

  • delfredo on 12/07/2011 - 22:15

    If a warranty claim is made on a defective product, how would the manufacturer know if it is factory second (and therefore warranty doesn't apply)?

  • shadowfangz on 13/07/2011 - 11:12

    Got my breadmaker last Sunday, it was new and sealed in two boxes so it was in great condition.
    Haven't tested it yet, I did get a $20 email voucher due to their delay in the order which I have no idea what I'm going to use it for.

    Received my breadmaker yesterday - like shadowfangz mine was new and sealed in 2 boxes. I'm hoping to test it out tomorrow (have to buy some ingredients!) and thanks to this thread I noticed a $20 voucher in my email! Not sure what I'll use it for though =)
