Hand Sanitiser 75% Alcohol 500ml $12.50 or 6 for $59.70 + $7.95 or $9.95 Shipping @ Inspirited

830

Hey Ozbargain,

I've been a lurker on your community for many years now and I hope that in some small way I can give back. We have sea-freighted hand sanitiser and are looking to distribute to as many people as we can during these difficult times with units that are reasonably priced - some might call it a bargain. Our shipments will be ready for despatch on the 28th of April (5,000 units) and the 15th of May (20,000 units).

It's explained in more depth on the website but TLDR, through our networks developed from creating our brand, Convict Bitters, we had a contact that was manufacturing hand sanitiser. We wanted to pass this onto you for as cheap as possible whilst also supporting our staff, so it would be very much appreciated if you can purchase a bottle of Convict Bitters to keep you company during quarantine.

Single unit hand sanitiser (500mL) is $12.50 + $7.95 Australia-Wide Flat Shipping
6-pack hand sanitiser (500mL) is $9.95/unit + $9.95 Australia-Wide Flat Shipping
Convict Bitters is $19.95/unit + Free Shipping

Yours in discounts,
The InspiritedAU Team

        You should really add the sanitiser as an additional product on your existing website, like what other distilleryā€™s have done.
        It makes no sense to register a new domain name and create a new website just for this hand sanitiser šŸ˜’

          agreed it also lends some credibility to the product doing it that way

          • @Bargainlife: Fair enough, I see your point! We just wanted to keep the website separate but link it back to Convict Bitters so we didn't mess with our store layout. Sorry about that.

            • @Plug: the last few parcels i have with fastway took 13, 11, and nine days, currently have one going on 8 days, they used to be over night.

      My local chemist was $15 a liter for bulk imported stuff.

      And that was before our dollar tanked.

      There's only like… $2 in this, above normal price (after our dollar decline).

      Reserve the comments of 'gouging' for the big ripoffs.

      Also, even ethanol was $16 for 5L at bunnings; so in a retail environment, it was far above $1 per litre.

      • +3

        ^^^ this.. Iā€™ve been buying bulk 96% ethanol direct from distributors for $60 per 20L pails (in quantities of 100L-240L a pop) over the past few years.
        Iā€™d like to see the historical pricing of $1 per L of ethanol. I highly doubt that you could even get that type of pricing even with bulk purchase of 1000L IBC.

        With current shortage of IPA and Ethanol due to the pandemic.
        Cheapest Iā€™ve been able to source (for Ethanol, letā€™s not even talk about IPA) is between $120-$150 per 20L pail in very limited quantities, and even then itā€™s super scarce and only because of the relationship Iā€™ve built with the distributor.

        Good luck trying to source IPA or Ethanol in retail outlets now.
        Not saying itā€™s impossible, just extremely scarce.

        • I was gonna say thats expensive, for those quantities, considering the bulk buy, but no. 96% is exponentially harder to refine than bunnings 95%.
          Carry on :)

      • -2

        Ocean said industrial ethanol, not retail price that is hugely marked up

    • -3

      @ Ocean - I think people want this for when they are out and about, can't wash your hands with soap & water and sing "Happy Birthday" (20 seconds rule) after touching something while IN the supermarket.

      Soap doesn't "kill" the virus, it allows you to wash it away.
      Must not spread stories that are not true.
      Although I am sure you mean well.

      • +12

        Actually soap does kill the virus.

        The soap tail attaches to the virus lipid layer and pulls it apart rendering it inactive.

    These hand sanitiser posts are cancer. I don't even mean the product, the deal, the OP. What are we doing people? Want some? Buy. Generally the product is hard to get. Don't want it? Then don't buy. Above all, let's be more kind to each other. Many here are going through stuff, many are scared. I love ozbargain. The positivity has gone down the toilet. As the weeks and months get tougher, we should feel cool posting here and getting kindness not negative vibes. But hey maybe that's just my opinion. A great place has lately been less great.

    • +7

      Let's make OZB great again..

      • +2

        haha. That pretty much captures exactly what I was trying to say!

    • +5

      part of the issue is with the increased demand there is is also people setting up shops with popular items as scams

      so people are also hyper vigilant and more so than normal

      • +6

        I agree. Just the amount of bitching about hand sanitiser.. I couldn't take it anymore. Let's simply not give a + to average posts and the rest will take care of itself. The banging on about it is getting worse than the potentially crappy deals. Almost giving posts more life by bringing posts that should be hidden from the frontpage to life with an inordinate amount of controversy.

    • +3

      This.

    • +2

      Issue is, its meant to be about bargains, not stock or back in stock posts. As well as when you see companies price gouging and playing on peoples fears.

      • +2

        You can deal with your "issue" by doing exactly what seamonkey said. Don't like it, don't buy. Just move on.

        • +4

          Actually thats why there are positives and negative voting abilities as well as comments. And this site is I repeat, about bargains and deals. Otherwise might as well link it to a online shopping website.

          • @lonewolf: Yeah so you could leave it at a positive or negative vote and let that speak for itself. You refer to bargains and deals as if it were the objective goal of everyone, but bargains and deals are subjective and therefore depend on circumstance. That's why it's better to just vote and leave it at that. Anyway I know I'm perpetuating the negative vibe so I'll stop replying.

            • @spiff: Actually voting negative is worse for the OP than pointing out the pitfalls of the deal as in, its not a good price or the company is bad etc etc. As well as leaving comments helps other people understand the issues. So then they can make an informed decision.

              • @lonewolf: You've been here a long time lonewolf, you know that users can't cast negative votes without comments, right?

                • @Gorian4: I never said to leave a vote without a comment that was the previous user.

                  • @lonewolf: Ah yes, my apologies

                    • +1

                      @Gorian4: You all have really good points. I feel like the negative votes lately are just pointing at ugly/fat people in the street and screaming 'you're ugly/fat!

                      Must be a mindset because, for me, no positive vote no negative vote is about as powerful for me. If you haven't made the post really positive (I'm talking in terms of your votes) then I'm not very motivated to look at what's on offer. I trust you all. No positive means deal is crap. Heaps of negatives just make it messy and personal.

                      We are living in unusual times when we should expect overpriced sanitiser. Just as we this week don't expect to see the same kind of toilet roll deals we expected 2 months ago.

    • +1

      I'm not sure if I'd ever say Ozbargain was a positive place, would you? Anonymous negatives, disputes, people begging others to be nice in the first post, criticisms etc.

  • +3

    Hi, question…why donā€™t you guys make your own like other places than importing it from China???

    • +2

      i maybe wrong, but I see the distilleries making the hand sanitiserrs and not the breweries, so I guess a different process?

      • +1

        Yes could be the case!

      • +4

        The vast majority of "distilleries" in Australia don't distill the alcohol themselves, even some of the more prominent Australian Distilleries are just buying in their Ethanol in bulk (usually at ~94% alc/vol). What the Distilleries do is distill the aromatics to infuse into Ethanol.

        All the Distilleries that are making hand sanitiser now are just using their already existing supply chains of Ethanol to pivot their business into bottling hand sanitiser instead. The biggest hurdle that all of these distilleries are having now is a shortage in reagents such as glycerine or propylene glycol as well as actual bottles to put the end product in.

      Hey mate, making bitters making is a week long extraction process using alcohol so we don't actually make our own alcohol for that process.

      • It doesnā€™t make any sense buying a ā€œsafetyā€ product thatā€™s made in China! The origin of fake, poor quality products!

      Hi mate, yes the goods come from China! In regard to your question our IT team said "Crazy domain is part of dreamscape. I suspect dreamscape is a global company and the regional head office is in Singapore. The name "Pte Ltd" in Singapore is the same as "Pty Ltd" in Australia." but the company is definitely Australian made and owned

          Thank you, really appreciate it! We'll despatch that this coming Tuesday for you and we'll despatch your hand sanitiser when it arrives. Happy Easter!

    Hand sanitiser is best left to the professionals who really need it. I do not believe people will be carrying a 500ml bottle outdoors, also yes you can split it but it should be just as easy to disappear into public wash room to wash your hands.

    If you are a true ozbargainer you'd be buying $6 for 1L hand wash from Woolies, putting it into 100ml travel bottle and disappearing into the wash room for a quick wash.

    Guaranteed this stuff comes from China. Most of the Chinese factories have been repurposed to make face masks, other PPE and sanitiser. Nobody knows whether they know what they are doing at all. It might look and smell the part. You wonder why they were snapping up our stocks of PPE and sanitiser in Feb?

    • +4

      Hi mate, definitely understand where you're coming from. The factory we were introduced to has been making hand sanitiser for many years now and are FDA approved (certificate and certificate number are on the website) so this is not a repurposed factory. Hope this alleviates some concern!

      • +2

        Sorry mate but FDA says different.

        FDA does not approve cosmetics.

        Examples of cosmetics are perfumes, makeup, moisturizers, shampoos, hair dyes, face and body cleansers, and shaving preparations. Cosmetic products and ingredients, and their labeling, do not require FDA approval before they go on the market. Thereā€™s one exception: color additives (other than coal-tar hair dyes). Cosmetics must be safe for their intended use and properly labeled.

        FDA doesnā€™t approve companies.

        FDA does not ā€œapproveā€ health care facilities, laboratories, or manufacturers. FDA does have authority to inspect regulated facilities to verify that they comply with applicable good manufacturing practice regulations.

        Owners and operators of domestic or foreign food, drug, and most device facilities must register their facilities with FDA, unless an exemption applies. Blood and tissue facilities also must register with the agency.

        Mammography facilities must be FDA certified and must display their FDA certificates where patients can see them. The certificate indicates that the facilities have met stringent standards for providing quality mammography.

        • Hey mate, sorry I believe I may have misunderstood. The certificate says the facility and company is FDA registered? Unsure whether that makes a difference or not, but happy to take down that section if I'm wrong.

          • +2

            @ODEO: I am not fussed. If you think it will help yourself avoid liability just have it as FDA registered. Do not use approved.

            I've done business with Chinese businesses a few times and my suggestion is to do research and research some more.

            • @netjock: Thanks for the advice mate, will do that from now on.

    • +2

        Got 400ml hand wash from Woolies for $1.40 a bottle. Got 4 bottles in Feb while it was all blowing up in Iran and Italy while people were still acting like nothing was happening.

        • Just paid $14 at Woolies for a 400ml bottle yesterday (sad panda), it's Careline branded (Au made), it does have fragrance thou, a bit more than I liked, but would buy again.

          Wished I had stocked up a bit, before things went bad.
          I read up about the virus in Jan, then thought it was a minor issue, till 2-3 months later, all bad then on.
          I never watch the news or TV much & live alone, it took my brother mentioning about it, that things are shutting down/going bad.

          I now read about it daily.
          Bloody idiots who approved the letting of passengers from the 2 cruise ships.

          Anyway, I was using the 24 Daily brand 1L for $10 from Terry White Chemist before all this.

          Stay safe people.

  • Is this ozbargain, or lets pay expensive prices?

    This works out at $23.22 per Litre if buy 6 after delivery.

    This is a very reasonable price, considering Aqiam Hand Sanitiser usually sells for approximately $15-$17 per litre during normal times.

    • +4

      Thanks mate, really appreciate the feedback! We really have made this as cheap as possible whilst allowing a small margin so that we can still pay our staff.

    • +2

      As a comparison, Aqium Antibacterial Hand Sanitiser 375ml is listed on Chemist Warehouse for $7.99 (although no stock available).

      At this price, 1 Litre works out to be $21.31 per litre for the 375ml.

      Need to buy the 1 Litre Aqiam bottle to get $15-$17 per litre price.

      But it is almost impossible to find at the moment.

      So $23.22 per litre delivered or $19.90 per litre if picked up, for 6 x 500ml bottles, is very reasonable in my opinion.

  • +4

    I just purchased 6, I'm trusting it will be good quality.

    The price isn't that bad. I purchase regularly from my local chemist and coles. I pay around the same price.

    I'm guessing OzBargainers get hand sanitizer for less elsewhere during normal periods, but considering this stuff has become hard to get I think the price is good.

    • Thanks mate, all the best!
