        These aren't orderable

    • that's correct, this is no where near a bargain. cheapest would I've seen is with Chemist Warehouse selling around $10each test. This is ozBARGAIN. doesn't matter if it's in stock or not, use FIND RAT website for stock.

      Not only are other types available, but almost every other type of rapid test currently for sale on the site is better than this one.

      Ecotest is rated by the TGA as falling within the lowest clinical sensitivity bracket ("acceptable sensitivity"). All Test nasal swab, Lyher nasal swab, Testsealabs nasal swab, All Test oral fluid and Orawell saliva are all better choices.

      • Seriously? Crap I should cancel my order then!

        • I don't mean to give the impression that it is junk – and the "real world" sensitivity of any test will depend a fair bit on your skill in carrying out the test. But if testing kits in the "high" or "very high" brackets are equally available, I would prefer those ones.

          • @PeterA07: We received a pack of EcoTests from a Vic Gov testing site after my child was exposed at school. I'm not sure whether they always provide this brand, or it's whatever they can get hold of. I only have experience with one brand of nasal swab rapid test, but the EcoTest is much easier to use. The nasal swab kits I had weren't terrible, but there are more steps that you could potentially mess up.

    I got the 7 pack of lyher for $95 and used the $5 welcome code. Equals $12 per test for 96% accuracy

      Same product was $60 at Healthy Life. Just no longer in stock.

      • $60 for five at my local Blooms pharmacy when they have them in stock.

    • Wow, what a hike. They had it at $54 last month.

    blamed the supplier…..

    How it this a bargain. This site should be called just Oz. All the RAT deals are only posted because they are available not a deal. This site should change its name to Ozavailable.

    Ordered 8 days ago and they still haven't ship it…

    • ordered mine 29th, still waiting for a tracking

    • Ordered 31/12 and mine shipped yesterday. Hang in there…

    • I asked them about my order & they claimed that there was a mixed up & offered to express post it. I told them yes to that option and now we shall see what they're going to do.

      • 3 days without any response after offering express post. What a crook. I am cancelling this order.

  • $15 per test + delivery is hardly a bargain.

    • The 5 pack is $70 with free delivery if you use the code VITALFAM5

      • And go incognito and you can do it again and again and again…

    Hopefully this is helpful, it's a crowd sourced rat finder, I picked up some today for the standard 5 for $50, gives you prices on the locations as well.. https://findarat.com.au/

    If expected despatch is 20 Jan shouldn't this have a pre-order tag?

    They're charging 50% more than what woolies charge on 2San Lyher and Hough.. Talk about price gouging..

    Not a bargain. Should be free

      But that would hurt the businesses.

        You'd hate to undercut business in the name of public health! How good are businesses.

  • +10

    Umm no. As stated on your website - your expected stock arrival is 20-22 Jan (not to be confused with customer delivery) plus up two weeks more for dispatch plus delivery timeframe. Customer delivery in the last week of February.

  • +13

    So glad out prime minister was thinking about businesses and not wanting to undercut them by making the tests free..

    We're now at $15 each test with weeks delivery waiting time or $70 on marketplace.

    Thanks scomo.

              You have issues, seek help.

              A criticiser at your core, with nothing important to say.

              Can't refute the message, attack the messenger. Criticise without doing any work. Easy life. Keep the snark up. Take your jabs.

    • Lol, it's funny that you also advocate against preventive measures for computer viruses.

        Lol, it's funny that you also advocate against preventive measures for computer viruses.

        Correct. I don't advocate poisons sold to us as preventative when the evidence has shown no prevention at all.

        Instead, we get a whole lot of toxxine damage and deaths, while real treatments are hidden from the public and the super-high survival rate is ignored. Hospitals and many others getting financial incentives to report anything as a Covid death and comply with Covid rules, while our media censors just about everyone not in line with the fraud narrative.

        As for.computers:
        https://odysee.com/@RobBraxmanTech:6/antivirus:2

        Even the biggest propagandists for the toxxines (who work for the biggest propagandist media outlets) do die. https://thecovidworld.com/carlos-tejada-49-year-old-ny-times…
        …but you will not hear the New York times propagandists mention he took anything. Go read their article. All traces of truth vanish.

        Anyway, his famous last (typed) words:

        “Double-vaxxed. Janssen-fueled, Moderna-boosted. Hey, Omicron: Hit me with your wet snot.”

        Bwahahah. How sad. A dead propagandist. He asked for it. He got it. Can't argue with the spirits.

        • I advocate the free flow of info (not censorship like we are seeing all over anti-social media today for anyone daring to speak out).

        • I advocate real solutions, not multi-trillion dollar scams and Fear propaganda that we see on all Legacy Media outlets, which enrich the few while our taxes are stolen and the middle-class gets eviscerated. I see this for what it is: a complete re-engineering of society into a State-dependent socialist / communist system with our civil liberties and freedoms crushed. A total takeover.

          Listen to our friend BillG after he ramps up the Fear Propaganda to 11! Perhaps this is more for you?
          https://edition.cnn.com/2021/12/22/business/bill-gates-omicr…

        Do not investigate his generous donations to media outlets.

        Uncle Bill: a guy who has absolutely no vested interest in selling you some more taxpayer-funded goodness (after bribing world 'leaders' to play ball!) No, no…Uncle Bill takes time out of his day to help you heal. He is such a nice billionaire uncle! Selfless. Concerned with nothing but your welfare. No vested interests.

        Thank you for coming back with your much-missed snark! I hope you can say nothing useful again soon! Roll up your sleeve again. It won't hurt a bit. You deserve the best of health!

        Come back again.

        • Ahh ok, now it's making sense.

          Rob is a dangerous guy who doesn't know what he's talking about. His information is contrary to what actual experts say. His community is tech illiterate.

          I have a fair idea of what I'd do it I required the level of security Rob advocates, and it would not be what Rob advocates.

          Other opinions of Rob state that he could get tech-illiterate journos killed.

          It's funny that you latch onto these conspiracy theorists.

          I advocate real… blah… blah

          From a brief skim read, I don't entirely disagree but there are better sources of information out there. Some of it goes into the generic conspiracy theory bin.

            None of which you link to. Keep criticising without doing anything yourself. Keep skimming.

            Rob is a dangerous guy who doesn't know what he's talking about. His information is contrary to what actual experts say. His community is tech illiterate.

            Hahaaaaaa. Your responses are brilliant. I need to frame some of these. You clearly have no idea of his skill set. At best, you have not investigated anything in detail and just do as you're told, and love criticising others while propping yourself up.

            Anyway, don't forget the third jab.

            • @wiffy:

              Ha…

              There's nothing on his site, so getting to know Braxy would involve hours of watching his videos. Once again, if you want to challenge your beliefs, do it yourself.

                There are better sources of information out there, you say. So where are yours? Oh that's right…you have none.

                You have chosen to criticise without lifting a finger. Afraid to be challenged. Saying nothing. Offering nothing.

                Take jab 3.

                There's nothing on his site, so getting to know Braxy would involve hours of watching his videos. Once again, if you want to challenge your beliefs, do it yourself.

                Dish out criticism in copious quantities. Do no research. Make false assumptions. Make nonsensical statements about challenging myself when you're clearly unable to bring anything to the table yourself. Gotcha.

                • @wiffy: I'd block you, but I'm waiting to pick up my own Ollee for about $120 when they go on clearance and you post a new deal.

                  • @ihfree:

                    I'd block you

                    Please do. Your snarky garbage has run its course. You are a criticiser at your core, with no interest in learning anything. Just pile on the snark to make yourself feel better.

                    . ..but I'm waiting to pick up my own Ollee for about $120 when they go on clearance and you post a new deal.

                    See above. Don't forget your jabs. Do the block now.

                    • @wiffy: Nah, I want my cheap Ollee. Feel free to block me though.

                • @wiffy: Braxy, just like you, fails to reach the bar for further interest. I know bit about computer security. From my initial research, he's a hack and potentially dangerous. It's not my job to argue online, I'm just doing it for fun… so a well researched response is not guaranteed.

                  Everyday we make choices about what information we consume.

                    You are too lazy to care.

                    Translation: I have done no research but will dish out my opinion regardless. My critical opinion based on my sheer laziness and total lack of interest is important. I must tell others.

                    It's not my job to argue online, I'm just doing it for fun… so a well researched response is not guaranteed.

                    Copious criticism while doing zero research. Gotcha.

                    • @wiffy: Lel, you're a funny guy.

                      Time to let it go. Move on with your life.. slowly, because your on a Ollee laptop.

    • That's the private market working as intended. Some would even argue that it was wrong of scomo limiting how much consumers can be ripped off.
