    $22/L is pretty cheap… thanks for giving a discount to essential workers, not just health related workers…

  • +4

    … Chiros,…

    Not only non-essential during ordinary times, but feckin dangerous

    (to be 100% serious: seen too many young people on rehab wards with vertebral artery dissections and permanent neurological disabilities, please be careful)

      I just wanted to spread awareness for all those people breaking their backs to keep us safe and healthy! ;)

      Thank you, JV.

    Essential workers are defined as anyone who has a job. Not just health workers.

    • +3

      Essential service workers. Those of us in IT working from home aren't essential service workers.

      We need to make sure that our police/nurses/teachers/etc have personal supply, too.

      • Is working for government which it is a IT worker essential service workers who serve the public using IT?

        • +1

          Mate if you are staying and working from home, why do you need hand sanitizer.

          Use soap and water.

          • +1

            @ChickenDinner123: Not all IT Govt workers are at home

          • @ChickenDinner123: Correct, need to be on-site to do support and some confidential data only accessible by connecting to the server within the department.

            • @SnoozeAndLose: Fair enough. My apologies.

              • @ChickenDinner123: My main point is, better do a list of job that OP classified as essential instead of saying essential service worker.

                Like the rules send out from the government is very confusing as different people have different interpretation.

        Well said folks. Was saddened by an OB member in a Discussion about this the other day downplaying the contribution of retail workers, cleaners, teachers and emergency services during this time, just because his wife has an undisclosed role in health. Teachers are back next week and many (like him) don't seem to realise that in addition to creating a term's curriculum online in unprecedentedly short amount of time they're also at work daily for all the children of essential workers.

        So nice to see this and other deals aimed at helping everybody.

        • Exactly this! Teachers being labelled non-essential but they're essentially babysitting the kids of the other essential workers, so I'd say they're just as essential.

      • Essential service workers

        Farming is an essential service
        Packaging food is an essential service
        Cleaning is an essential service
        Delivering food and medicine is an essential service
        Driving a tram so people can get to work is an essential service
        Keeping OzBargain servers up and running is an essential service

        • +1

          Driving a tram so people can get to work is an essential service

          Not in WA! The rest I agree with :)

          (I'm not business associated, so don't quote me)

      If you're making life decisions to stock up on hand sanitizer, than you're probably not a tax-payer at this time

      • +1

        Or you work in dis a ability or child safety.

  • +1

    Excuse my sceptism, but I'm thinking that there's more profit in making this than their beer. At least with more being made the price might come back down to what was before the zombie apocolypse.

    • Surely there must be a glut of the stuff by now with every distillery now making it.

  • +1

    I'm intrigued as to how they check the service ID. I'm pretty sure the organisation I'm involved with doesn't make them publicly available.

    • +1

      I'd say email from your organization email, with your name / position etc. They could then match up your order with who you are? (As mentioned - I'm only associated as a friend, so email them to find out!)

      • I don't see DFES going for that as, firstly, they're pretty good with not giving out personal information and secondly, they've got better things to do. We could easily send photo of our DFES ID, but that's incredibly bad practice security wise.

  • Is this a GEL or spray?

    • Good question - I'll send them a message to find out. It doesn't look like gel by their product page.

      I didn't get any sanitizer from them as I'm 99% using soap/water.

      Edit: It's a liquid (not gel) which you can use as a spray/pump.

  • How fast the email would be replied thx ?

  • +6

    Wouldnt accept my health government email as essential workers ID. They want a scan of my actual ID which is always risky for credential stealing. Its not secure for me to email a scan of my ID.

    • +1

      They want a scan of my actual ID

      Is that even legal?

      • +1

        Probably not. It would be against policy. So I am just gonna pass.

      • +1

        Yes.

        Unless you can site a law you think it is breaking…

        • -1

          Yes.

          It's illegal to scan or photocopy a driver's licence.

          • @jv: No it's not.

            • @banana365:

              No it's not.

              It is in Australia.

              • @jv: As has been said - cite the law that says it's not legal. I'll make it easy, search for "is it illegal to photocopy my Australian driving licence" and tell us what the first result says.

                Or maybe just go to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner here where it gives advice to companies on how they should handle the information of scanned personal documents, such as driving licences, because government organisations are always recommending the best way to break the law.

                Or you could, you know, admit to yourself that you're talking out of your arse (because we know you won't admit it here) and shut up.

                • -1

                  @banana365:

                  and tell us what the first result say

                  It says it’s illegal

                  • @jv: Well done, half way there. Back up that claim by showing the link.

          • @jv: Maybe in mother Russia…

    • Soap and water for you…

    • This post is primarily for the $22/L + delivery for essential service workers to make sure they have enough sanitizer for themselves, and is the cheapest available right now.

      For comparison looking through the latest deals (also different alcohol % and made locally):

      13+: 400mL for $14 @ Woolworths = $35/L
      11+: 500mL $14.99 + Delivery @ Fevermates = ~$30+delivery/L
      27+ 500mL $19.95 + Delivery @ Mr Black = ~$40+delivery/L
      81+: 500mL $12.50 + Delivery @ Spirited = ~$25+delivery/L
      107+: 100mL $2.99 @ SpudShed = $30/L

      • -1

        So then, this is pretty much a marketing stunt to promote your brand.

        The price you listed above is for everyone, so it is only fair that we compares your $30.80/L + $5 delivery

        Looking at this, we could see that your price is only cheaper than Mr Black

        So to the everyday consumer, you have a huge RRP markup and then provide a high discount to have people feel like they are savings a lot, but in reality they are not. And seeing as the price is equivalent to most stores, this should be considered as a spam since it is posted by someone associated.

        If you want to compare with Mr Black, the $40/L is for every day consumer, they are also supplying the local pharmacy with their raw ingredients, so if you compare the value added by Mr Black to the community, it could arguably be greater than what you are offering to the essential workers.

        Also worth to note, that you only originally offering 20% for everyone which makes it $35.2/L which is more than 10% higher than most of the deal that you specified above, you then later change this to 30%, so isn't fair to say that you are just trying to find the highest possible price to make it appropriate on Ozbargain rather than actually trying to be the "good" people.

        So have a neg :)

        • +4

          I'm only 'associated' as I'm friends with 2 of the workers at the distillery (which had to close and shut down their tasting room).

          Tick this if you are affiliated with this store/service provider/product in any way (e.g. official store representative, employee, business partner, contractor, friend/family of staff member). IMPORTANT: Failure to declare affiliation may result in sockpuppeting penalties.

          We were catching up over video chat and they asked me if I knew anyone in essential services that needs sanitizer (I know many nurses, police officers, physio etc). There are many OzBargainers who work in these fields, so thought I'd be good awareness here.

          So yes, I'm bias as I want my mates to still have a job, but also to get sanitizer to the people who need it.

          • @rompastompa: So, since flat delivery is only applied to first 1000 orders and this is really only a deal for essentials workers, so they should

            Either, remove the 30% coupon and make it a deal exclusively for essentials workers

            Or, remove the flat fee delivery limit

            If they want to be perceived as acting in good faith and not price gouging.

            • @ln28909: They only offered the 30% coupon after I posted the deal, so I updated the post accordingly. You're right though - this is primarily a deal for essential workers.

              • @rompastompa:

                this is primarily a deal for essential workers.

                No it’s not, we have already established it’s for health care workers.

                  @jv: Did you contact them?

                  According to their website:

                  NOTICE: During the COVID-19 Pandemic we are distributing DISCOUNT CODES for bulk package orders to Nurses, Teachers, Doctors, Police, Fire, Ambos, Pharmacies, local GP’s, Aged Care, Disability Care, Homeless Shelters, Local Government, Truck Drivers, Grocers, Schools and so many more. - Source.

                  • @rompastompa: I’m referring to your comment

                    • @jv: Oh JV, I'm not sure if you've read the post, but I'm not associated on a business level. If you have any doubts, please contact them.

                      In any case, this brings additional competition and maybe, just maybe, it will lower the price for you in Victoria.

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/529314 15/L Plus postage

        Hand sanitiser is made from the waste of alcohol production. The alcohol is not tax like spirits as per alcohol content. It is not subject to rigorous safety testing at all. There is no shortage of material. It’s purely trying to cash in on the pandemic.

        @30/L for the general public is not a bargain
        Price gauging much

    • +2

      I think at $22/L this is only $7 more expensive that the ordinary stuff during normal times. It’s by far much better than the recent so called deals at 150% markup.

      Edit: @$22/L fair but @$30/L that’s double ordinary price. Heading towards gouging imo

  • Do they deliver to NSW?

    • I checked via their website, and it's WA only at the moment.

    Thx Op , managed to order 2 bottle x 1 litre for $49 delivered .

    I own a cafe in Belmont, and we are starting to run quite low. It's so hard to find at the moment.

    I have been arguing for years that coffee should be covered by Medicare but to no avail!

    Can we please be considered essential workers for the purpose of this promo? I think people would vouch for how essential good coffee is right about now!

    • +1

      Yes!! Email them, but you have my vote! #needmyfix

    • Well, the government considers cafe essential services so it's shouldn't be a problem imo

    Hi guys. Had a chat to Capital Transport and they've dropped delivery.

    Perth - $5
    Perth Surrounds - $10
    Peel - $20
    WA - $25

    Please note the products are dangerous goods. If you're in Peel/WA it might be worth picking up a 4L to last you the month/quarter.
    I've also added 4L and 5L to the THXOZBARGAIN code.

    Thanks for all your help and feedback guys. We've only been live for 3 days and our priority is to make it as easy as possible for those who need these goods to order them.

    We're a family WA company made up of school teachers (region and local).

    If you have any questions feel free to email me via the website. We're here 24 hours until national supply chains have re-opened.

    Think a little before passing your work ID or professional registration info to sellers in exchange for a discount. What do you know about what they do with your data? Is the discount being offered worth the risk of identity theft or other misuse of this personal information?

    • Some great advice. I personally would never take a photo of anything that I didn't want stolen, reproduced and disseminated on the inter webs. It can even be taken, accidentally or otherwise, from any device along the data path. Long after deletion.

      So my advice to those dealing with sites asking for personal information such as ID etc would be to cover your important details and explain why. Even feel free to put your finger over your face if you wish to hide your identity.

      The worst they can do is ask you to get your office to send a letter to authorize their email which would only mean a delay in turn around.

      Or shop somewhere else.

      Our sanitiser company (Sanomate.com.au) is new but the Great Northern Distillery, who is its main supplier, has been in operation in the state of WA nearly 2 decades.

      We value your privacy, your data and are bound by the laws of this state as we always have and will.
