    Fantastic price. Freight prices could be the killer for those who don't live in metro areas.

    Whoa, it wanted $15 to ship a $5 item to Sydney. =/
    I guess free pickup is an option though.

  • oz-dxer on 10/11/2011 - 08:16

    Great price. Good find OP.
    Metro Melb is only $5 shipping, other states not so lucky.
    So best buy a few to make it worthwhile.

    A similar item in Bunnings i recall is about $20 nowdays and free pickup too.

    NSW & SA Country, all of ACT & Perth = $15
    QLD Country = $20
    WA & NT Country inc. Darwin = $30

    well i just bought 5 and because I live in metro sydney, the whole order only costed $35, you can't go wrong for $7 each for individual controlled switches. I see them at bunnings for $25 to $30 regularly so worth a punt. Hopefully they are a solid unit

    • figarow on 10/11/2011 - 09:12

      Did the same mate… $35 for 5 delivered to Ipswich QLD. haha :)

  • m2000 on 10/11/2011 - 09:00

    would be better if it has more than 4 switches!

    • IsometricBacon on 10/11/2011 - 09:42

      At least they're extra wide switches, which makes it great for those ultra big AC adapters that they love to use nowadays.

  • Housecat on 10/11/2011 - 09:04

    pitty indeed

  • squaredonut on 10/11/2011 - 09:22

    Nice, just bought 5, stocking up, $10 shipping if you choose the non-air one.

    These usually cost $30-$35 at bunnings or at kmart even.

    EDIT: Wanted to say thanks to the Op

  • kubo on 10/11/2011 - 09:43

    wow thats awesome. thanks a lot OP

  • lplau on 10/11/2011 - 09:48

    Was only 10min walk away, so walked over there and brought 5… they had heaps of boxes at 9AM.

  • antonthenet on 10/11/2011 - 09:49

    Thanks OP, was looking at getting just some normal powerboards, these will do nicely.

  • heathwithnoteeth on 10/11/2011 - 09:52

    Bought 2. At $15 delivered this should be a good bargain as I've paid $18 for just one 6-way board in an Oriental shop.

  • SomeGuyOnOzB on 10/11/2011 - 10:11

    Doh, I was in the area yesterday :P (I only visit the city about once every few months)

    Oh well, time to see if any of the family want in on the order. :)

  • bought on 10/11/2011 - 10:14

    Bought one from Reject Shop for $10. Was really good and handy to have four seperate switches.

    • delfredo on 10/11/2011 - 10:26

      Did that have surge protection as well?

      • davidl2 on 10/11/2011 - 10:31

        I recall it was a post on Ozbargain not so long ago (try search Reject Shop)
        and it does have surge protection!

  • themonty on 10/11/2011 - 10:26

    I am having trouble thinking if I can trust this stuff - Doss has only been around since 02, Belkin since 83; I don't know how long Doss have been making this stuff, but if it's really protective why isn't there some kind of insurance, as you'd get with a Belkin?

    • davidl2 on 10/11/2011 - 10:29

      you pay another $50, I think they will happily offer you insurance

      yet if EVERYBODY pay extra $50, they even get discount from insurance company!
      they could even lower the price more! ;)

  • davidl2 on 10/11/2011 - 10:28

    the Sansai 6 indivitual switch power board is $14.50 at local shop
    so this 4 indivitual switch power board for $5 is actually not bad at all
    and I could do pickup on both! good deal!! :P

    • dkslim on 10/11/2011 - 11:18

      Can you pay when you pickup, or do you need to pay when you make the order?

    Although this is going to be Ozbargained quite soon.
    517 units left as of now.

  • nowlan on 10/11/2011 - 11:27

    Just ordered 4.
    Lucky I live melb. $5.

    I think Bunnings have HPM or something for $12 and $20 last time i was in.
    Wide spacing will be handy with the fat wall warts. No Surge protection however.

  • bob19 on 10/11/2011 - 11:53

    What concerns me about this product is that it is called: "4-way Powerboard + Surge Protection". However, below in the Specifications there is no mention of surge protection and only "Circuit overload protection".
    Overload protection is different from Surge protection. Powerboards with just overload protection are being sold everywhere for about the same price ($3 - $7).
    I also had a look at the photo of the actual powerboard (not the package) and the only thing which is printed on it is "Overload protection". No mention of Surge protection!
    http://www.wintal.com.au/upload/sellsheets/PB40%20PB60%20SPB…
    The obvious question is: would you trust this product to protect your valuable equipment?
    And I guess there is a reason why it's so cheap.

    • Redmo0n on 10/11/2011 - 12:22

      It's hopefully better than my generic white board thats been submerged in water & had various sugary drinks dropped on it (then again maybe that says something about the quality if it's still working)

    • stebie on 10/11/2011 - 12:29

      Devices offering surge protection also tend to mention how many joules of protection they provide.

      http://www.radioparts.com.au/ProdView.aspx?popup=1&Category=…
      "1722 joules surge protection"

      As nothing is mentioned on the RPG web site or mentioned "sellsheets", one may be able to confirm if anything is mentioned on the packaging.

    • figarow on 10/11/2011 - 12:36

      Take a look at the picture and zoom in, it's surge alright!!

      • nookular on 10/11/2011 - 14:28

        Yeah it says it has surge protection, but I zoomed in and can't find any mention of "1722 joules surge protection" or similar. Might be on the back of the box though.

  • Redmo0n on 10/11/2011 - 12:20

    3 for $30, used priority shipping as it was the same cost as regular ($15).

  • Diogenes on 10/11/2011 - 12:25

    Just ordered 2 - quantity available is down to 100-odd (under 110).

    OzBargain… a blessing and a curse - this morning there were over 1000 available; had I vacillated for another hour I would have missed out (as I did with the TouchPad and Iconia deals).

    That'll teach me to waste time watching downloads of "Housos" and "The Heart, She Holler" (which has Ren&Stimpy levels of twistedness).

  • ynot1985 on 10/11/2011 - 12:56

    just gave them a call… all out of stock… its a clearance special so they wont be getting anymore and from what I can gather they have actually sold 53 more than they have ..so fingers crossed to those who have brought it that they aren't the 53 over sold ones

  • hubertlam on 10/11/2011 - 12:58

    What a shame. Would've bought 5 even if they were $10 each, as these are usually quite expensive.

  • andytuna on 10/11/2011 - 13:21

      Do you have devices that take an N size battery?

      Those batteries are not normal AA or AAA size

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 10/11/2011 - 21:12

      Are those for doorbells etc?

      Where do you get the charger for those?

      • anthony on 11/11/2011 - 09:21

        You can use a normal charger.

        Just use a spring from a pen or some other metal piece to connect the battery to the charger

  • BenE on 14/11/2011 - 12:41

    I ordered at around 10am on Thursday 10/11 but I still only have in the order status: picking slip printed.

    What is going on?

    Am I the 53 that will get screwed b'cos Radio Parts oversold. Hope not!

    Now just having to wait for them to call me back to tell me what happened with my order.

    Anyone else got any problems?

  • joequimby on 14/11/2011 - 15:49

    Looks like I got screwed for not paying with my credit card. I chose the option "Call for credit card details" instead of paying for it straight away and I just got a call from Radioparts saying they've run out and want to cancel my order.
    I said that was unacceptable as the site said ~400 when I placed the order and the stock figure was being updated throughout the day. They then said the site was updated each night - baloney!
    Checking my order confirmation email, it arrived at 10/11/11 11:46am, order number 29621XX. The order status is "picking slip printed."
    Has anyone placed their AFTER me, but received their order?

    • daye on 14/11/2011 - 16:01

      Paid by credit card and placed my order around the same time you placed yours with order #29621XX as well.
      The site said ~400 left, and not long after I ordered the site updated to ~200 left.
      Mine arrived today.
      Sorry for your bad luck, I guess instant payment is always better when it comes to OzBargain.

    • joequimby on 15/11/2011 - 17:31

      Just a follow up:
      Got called at lunchtime and was asked for credit card details as they now have stock for me.
      Either they've sourced some more or they've realised the error of their ways. Either way, looking forward to getting them

  • BenE on 14/11/2011 - 16:31

    Hi Joe,

    Finally heard from Radio Parts, I can confirm that I got screwed the same way as you joequimby (the same situation - order number, order status and choice of payment).

    It is first come first served not based on method of payment. The confirmation of our order constitutes acts as a binding contract between us and them. But obviously they are $ first and customer experience and fair business dealings second.

    At the end of the day, what's done is done. I won't advocate for them in the future.

  • figarow on 15/11/2011 - 15:59

    Got mine today… It only says "overload protection" NOT surge protection on the boards, however it does say surge protection on the cardboard box the boards come in. Also it also has RFI/EMI/FILTER….. whatever that means??

    This is the actual product: http://www.doss.com.au/spb44-4-way-surge-protected-power/

    • beall on 17/11/2011 - 09:09

      We ordered 60 for the workplace originally, but they ring us back and said there is a limit of 5 per customer. At the end we got 10 units and they look study and only $5, still a bargain.

    • delfredo on 21/11/2011 - 15:29

      Exactly. It's overload protection only. I received mine too.
