SD BIOSENSOR COVID-19 Self Home Test Kit 2pcs X6 for A$86.71 + delivery @ Gmarket
The cheapest delivery option costs around A$28.27, which means A$114.98 in total for 12 test kits.

SD Biosensor Home Test Kit is on the list of TGA-approved Covid-19 rapid antigen self-test kits
https://www.tga.gov.au/covid-19-rapid-antigen-self-tests-are…

You can find more information about the test kit on here
https://www.tga.gov.au/sites/default/files/covid-19-rapid-an…

The clinical sensitivity is classified as "acceptable" by TGA and the study finds that the antigen rapid test correctly identified 82.5% of infected study participants (identified 91.2% of infected study participants with a relatively high viral load) and 100.0% of non‑infected study participants. So It is probably not the best test kit available on the market.

Gmarket is a reputable online store in Korea, but grey-importers should take all potential responsibilities.

      Cheaper test to defeat all those price gougers.
      1. Spit on them.
      2. Follow them around to see if they get covid.
      100% accuracy and.satisfaction.
      Dont ask about the nasal substitute test!

    So it's $114.98, not $86.71. Unless they have some free delivery scheme or you want us to pick it up at Korea?

      There is another delivery option which is more pricey. Some may choose to use a forwarding service. Hence + delivery. I am not asking you to buy this particular test kit, but letting people know this option is available.

            • BiA0 on 05/01/2022 - 09:26

              @gadget: Because Chemist Warehouse doesn't have any stock. It is currently OOS on their online store.

                @BiA0: According to the head of CW on the news they received new stock a couple of days ago. While it is OOS online the site says you may be able to get them in store.

                • BiA0 on 05/01/2022 - 09:44

                  @gadget: The new stocks are also sold out. I visited my local Chemist Warehosue yesterday to buy eye drops and asked about the test kits to see if they had anything left. The storeperson told me that they are out of stock. That's why I thought my post could help out some people since it is a) TGA approved b) slightly cheaper and c) at least it is available now.

    Just to point out that is for 12 test kits, not 6.
    So, at a price of A$114.98, it works out to be A$9.58 a test, which is cheaper than what you can get in Australia.

    • Asaboy on 05/01/2022 - 00:19

        • BiA0 on 05/01/2022 - 08:35

          Gmarket is like Ebay - third parties sell not just test kits, but all sort of things through the compnay and the company ships goods with the international shipping partners such as DHL or EMS.

          I am not sure about test kits as I have never order them before, but all items I ordered through Gmarket within 7 business days.before the pandemic and there is no indiciation on their website that the company has changed their shipping partner.

          Or are you suggesting you are paying $28.27 for 'slow shipping'. It is incredible that how some people negatively react when only I want to help fellow Australian.

          Do airlines require you to get tested before travelling now?

          • Cousin IT on 05/01/2022 - 00:52

            @Jenny Death: The airlines might not, but certain destinations do, so the airline staff need to confirm at check-in.

            • gadget on 05/01/2022 - 09:23

              @Cousin IT: I'd be surprised if there is any major destination on earth that doesn't require you to have a pre travel PCR test (not free) and also when you land. You'll be told by the airline what you need to do when you book.

        • BiA0 on 05/01/2022 - 00:49

          Yes they do. In fact, that's how the airlines make money during the pandemic. Plus, there are cargo flights still flying between countries, including Australia and I believe the cheaper option is actually DHL.

      the queue at a testing center has become massive. It will take hours depending on which state you're in.

      I took my mum yesterday to a drive through. It had about 8 lanes testing. The queue went all the way outside the facility to the road outside.

    • mathematicalcoffee on 05/01/2022 - 11:01

      because e.g. to get into TAS you need a negative PCR test result in the 72hr prior, which (for QLD anyway) the labs cannot currently guarantee - if you can even get a test, some clinics say not to come unless you are required to as a close contact or have a positive RAT already; or you need a negative RAT within the 24h prior. So if I can get a RAT, at least I can guarantee the result in the required timeframe. And with RAT largely out of stock in QLD, I'm getting desperate and would rather not have to cancel my interstate trip due to not being able to obtain one!

      • obenihk on 08/01/2022 - 09:09

        Same boat as you. We need to travel in a few days to Tasmania. Did you manage to find any RATs? I also don't want to get in line for PCR test. Firstly, my entire family has no symptoms. And besides, getting one done means we have to isolate until the results are back - potentially that could be after our scheduled departure.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2022 - 23:15

          Not sure about Tas but for overseas travel RAT need be taken by lab, self tests are not accepted. Can be done at Intl airport with 90 min turnaround time.

    Before Christmas, I thought about importing some from Korea for myself and my family, but abandoned the plan after discovering a) the only TSA approved self-test kits from Korea are the SD Biosensor ones, b) the sensitivity of those test kits is only "acceptable" according to TSA and c) after paying the express delivery, It works out as $120-ish for 12 test kits. Not a great bargain.

      I concur. This is only a bargain because It is a TGA approved test kit and slightly cheaper than the most of test kits available in Australia.
      Judging from all negative reactions to this post, I guess people aren't THAT desperate for a test kit. At least not much as the media says they are.

      • gadget on 05/01/2022 - 09:31

        If ppl weren't that desperate why did all local stock sell out before Christmas?

        As mentioned many times before a bargain doesn't mean the cheapest. If test kits weren't becoming more available locally now I would agree with you it's a bargain if you can't get anything else.

          I am not sure you correclty understand the dire situation we have here as you have suggested to get the one with high sensitivty at Chemist Warehouse when even their new stocks are flying off shelves at moment.

          • gadget on 05/01/2022 - 11:04

            @BiA0: Not arguing with your sentiments. If you need to have access to a RAT then lower reliability probably beats having nothing if you are in a situation where you need it for work (if you are self employed that is), travel interstate or to visit an aged care centre for example.

            Dire? Let's recap in a couple of weeks to see if we still have a shortage then, probably when the tests arrive from Korea if you order now.

        It's not a bargain at all. It's illegal for anyone but the Australian sponsor of the test kits to supply these tests in Australia, if you buy these you run the risk of Border Force confiscating them and issuing you a fine.

  • mathematicalcoffee on 05/01/2022 - 11:03

    Aside from the price (which is generally cheaper than Aus) these are at least obtainable for those of us who require them to be able to go interstate and can't get a PCR test in time (clinics turning people away / result not within 72hrs) and can't find a RAT test locally. Yay QLD.

    • Tyrx on 05/01/2022 - 11:12

      It will take a minimum of 2 weeks of this to arrive though. Very likely to be 3-4 weeks considering the Chinese New Year is coming up, and Asia pretty much shuts down during that time.

        Yeah, my trip is in 2 weeks :( Hope the situation improves before then and I will be able to source a RAT locally (or things calm down enough that I can both get a PCR and get the results within 72h). Or else it's another cancelled holiday… Just saying, I appreciate these "deals" where deal = "an available RAT even if not for ages" as opposed to "cheap price for a RAT"

      • BiA0 on 05/01/2022 - 11:47

        Could you care to explain why the delivery will take a 'minimum of 2 weeks'? I am not sure if the Chinese New Year is a factor at the moment in Korea as it is actually in the next month. By the way, their international shipping partners are DHL & EMS and that's why the delivery cost is $28. I ordered goods from a few different Korean online stores in the last year during the lockdown and EMS/Fedex/DHL delievered it from Korea within a reasonable timeframe.

      • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2022 - 15:23

        They may not even turn up. You cannot legally self-import medical devices (which TGA says these are) so you are running the risk of Border Force intercepting your delivery and getting a nice threatening letter and/or fine in the mail instead.

      Thanks, I did not know this. I wonder if it still possible to grey-import an already TGA-approved medical device for self-use only, not to supply or sell it to third-parties. If TGA insists that It must be imported through the Australian sponsor, then the moderator should take down this deal.

    • OhMaJuck on 21/01/2022 - 13:02

      If you are importing RAT kits for personal use, they may be imported without a permit if they meet the conditions in the ‘COVID-19 rapid antigen test (RAT) kits for personal use’ BICON pathway.

      Personal use only includes: a three-month supply for use by the person importing the goods; or for use by any spouse, de facto partner, child, parent or sibling of the person importing the goods.

      Note personal consignments of COVID-19 RAT kits that are not approved for supply in Australia by the TGA (i.e. listed on the ARTG) may be referred to the TGA for assessment upon arrival in Australia.

      • Sepp on 26/01/2022 - 22:08

        so does that mean we can import these?
