Back on topic of OzSale, just be careful with their shipping dates. At least they say this time it’s not shipping yet but I ordered a 5 pack of Rightsign RATs from them (same brand as chemist warehouse) when they were listed online as in stock on Boxing Day with an estimated delivery date of 29/12/21. Everyday came and went with the estimated dispatch date (rather than delivery) moving back one day… eventually after me sending multiple messages asking where the stock was they told me on 13/1/22 that they still didn’t have stock (yet during this period I did see the exact item still listed as available). They did agree to refund me (which took a few more days to process) but just wanted to share this experience in case you were hanging all your hopes on OzSale coming through with that timeline.
This is why i wont buy any online. I had the same experience with another company. It was a waste of time.
Where are the lefties who love vaccine mandates and love "free" healthcare but now up voting on deal on an item that should be free? I thought you would consider it a bad deal since it should have been free to begin with
I love vaccine mandates and "free" healthcare and think RATs should be paid for out of our taxes. But this is OzBargain so I will conpare this deal to others for similar products currently available in sufficient quantities.
My friend from the UK has these in abundance, paid for by the government. That's how much the government here has played you for a fool.
The libs here are all about economy and $$$
The libs here are all about economy and $$$
and how is the economy going in the 'let it rip' status we are in?
That's how much the government here has played you for a fool
and yet people still vote for them. Appears lots are suffering stockholm syndrome!
🤬 Not only should the government supply these free of charge but support Australian made and NOT buy CHINA made RAT kits, as most of them are……. I find this absolutely idiotic.
I'll just leave this here..
Ellume Announces $231.8 Million Agreement with the U.S. Government - Feb 2021
Ex-Treasurer slams ‘absurd’ decision to shun Aussie made rapid antigen testTL;DR
Ellume (Aus RAT manufacturer) approached Aus government for funding, Aus gov says no, Ellume gets funding from US gov instead.
In other words, even before Jun 2021 outbreak and vaccinations, an Aus RAT manufacturer was already ramping up production.. but someone didn't want to buy RATs just like they forgot to buy enough vaccines but somehow remembered to buy some tanks instead
Maybe if they could make the high sensitivity tests in quantity rather than those that just pass the regulations .
With 95% around I wouldn't even TGA approve the 80% ones.
Provably the Govt doing a favour for the Oz manufacturer's .
Why don't people go to the local testing site and get them for free? Local one gave me 2 closed packs (14 tests)
I've never heard of them giving it out… did you just ask for some free RATs?
not really, i mean testing sites, when you drive there (drive through) well they ask if you are here for RAT or PCR, tell them RAT, ask the reason for requesting test, tell them you have symptoms (which I did), proceed to fill an online form, drive in, they hand 2 tests for you to do at home…that was at one of the drive-through sites in vic
Who needs a testing kit get to know that you have a flu? Odd.
COVID19 isn't a flu bro…
My mate had the same thoughts as you and didn't take it seriously, was pretty cocky about how he couldn't get infected.. until he got it from his partner (who showed symptoms one day after I did)
Flu doesn't transmit this fast and doesn't hit this hard. Flu also doesn't have long-term affects as well
Stay off the fake news man, it has significantly worse long term effects.
I contracted COVID, first hand experience.
Pretty sure I had Omicron where the "fake news" (agree with you to some extent) have been reporting it as mild.
It wasn't mild.
But hey, you do you.Forget MSM.
If China (bad rep for their trustworthiness) is taking COVID seriously and attempting to shift blame to non-asian countries, maybe you should consider why they're doing it.
I don't know, maybe it isn't just "a flu"?@cwongtech: I had a really bad flu awhile back, it also coincided with a workmate contracting legionnaires, washing our utes as I do daily. It caused a legionnaires scare at the company (5%-30% legionnaires death rate vs 0.1% for pre delta covid, vs 0.1% for flu).
I thought I was going to die, my wife convinced my not to go to the hospital as she said I needed to really bad for at least 3 days before they would actually treat me and not just send me home on whatever. Turns out, it was just a plain old flu after testing and the fear made it a lot more traumatic.
I had a residual cough for 5 months, lost my taste for a few weeks, long haul flu before it was cool, it was just a flu, don't let fake news make you afraid.
@lew380: Legionnaires disease doesn't spread through person to person.. it's normally associated with airconditioning units.
Perhaps your coworker should investigate where they contracted legionnaires from, because the cesspool where legionnaires is growing is still out there infecting other people
Your wife's logic is a bit flawed, a heart attack or stroke doesn't last 3 days before hospital ED admits you, not sure where that logic comes from.
Legionnaires also has antibiotics to treat (bacteria not viruses).
it was just a flu, don't let fake news make you afraid
Mate, I've had multiple friends including me contract covid. I'm telling you the fake news is reporting that it's "mild", when it's not.
I've had a couple that didn't have as severe of a reaction, they coincidentally got the booster shot a week before.
Don't let fake news calm you into thinking it's mild.
It's not mild from first hand experience
But again, you do you. Believe what you want
My experience was not fun or "mild", despite what the media reports omicron to be.@cwongtech: Well if your not obese, over 70 or have comorbities your chance of dying from this hyped flu is practically zero, like the normal covid flu epidemics that come around seasonally. If your not in a high risk category, frankly, who cares that you had covid. You were never going to die.
Fear and stress have always been the greatest causes of disease and the media and government are maximising death from a flu variant only marginally more deadly using certain numbers that make it look bad. I'm not interested in narratives, and fear mongering. Hard numbers paint a very calming picture.

That's what the "fake news" says, yet you tell me not to believe the "fake news"
I've experienced it first hand with a bunch of others. it's worse than what the "fake news" reports.
My friends including myself are young and do not have co-morbidities.
If what happened to us, happens to someone older, we can be damn sure they have a high chance going into the hospital.Covid affects people differently, some do experience symptoms akin to just a cold (rhinovirus), but some end up in a coffin.
I'm not interested in narratives, and fear mongering. Hard numbers paint a very calming picture.
It's not fear mongering, it's called taking precautions and sharing my experience and also thinking logically.
I don't believe what the fake news says, it paints a more calming picture because Domicron wants to do the "all about the economy" message.
There are no narratives from my side, I'm just saying it wasn't mild for a whole bunch of us.But hey, if you want to judge every case of covid, by your illogical scare of legionnaires/flu (logic of "3 days or less means no hospital admission", by all means, you're the expert because if you've fought one battle, you've fought them all, right?
I'm disengaging from replying, there's no point to share my experience, when you think your experience of another infection overrides my confirmed case of COVID.
@cwongtech: I should mention my wife is a nurse, has worked in the Emergency and knows what is worth taking up a bed for and outpatient care was better. The point was, fear makes things appear so much worse than reality, you really missed that point and got confused.
comorbidities and mortality in covid 19 patients
One of many studies, of 454 cases, 78 dead patients, all have 1-2 chronic comordities, (hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic kidney/immune/cerebral infelarcrion), no one else died.
Essentially, just like the flu, you have nothing to be afraid about if your healthy and well, unless a doctor kills you on accident or your just that 0.000001 statistical death.@lew380: Perhaps I should mention I already contracted COVID19 and I state it was not mild ?
I too have friends in the hospital (doctors, pharmacists, RNs)
But sure, you can read what you want, believe what you want.
Have fun when you roll the dice with the grim reaper.I'm just stating it was not a mild experience for me and my friends, despite the "fake news" reporting that it is mild.
@lew380: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-06/nsw-records-34-994-co…
This is my last reply to you.
23 year old, double vaxxed and very healthy male passed away from it.That's all I have to say.
@cwongtech: So the vaccine is useless, is that your point?
Young people can die of the flu, that's not new. But 1 case every 6 months isn't a cause to shut down the country. You might be interested to know that the OG flu is significantly more deadly to children than covid is, by a factor of 10. But what is that to you, you've had covid so the facts are irrelevant.
Edit. Here's an absolute BLAST FROM THE PAST! (2018)
INFLUENZAInfluenza is actually surprisingly deadly, despite being ignored, can kill youth occasionally, but particularly deadly to older people and those with preexisting conditions, sounds awfully similar to some other disease I read about, even the CFR is the same, hmmm?!?
Some people learn by being taught and some need to learn from experiencing. Comments on a bargain web site is unlikely to persuade people on either side. I suggest we not flog that dead horse any further?
$1.5 cost price per test in China , and selling here for $10, Covid-economy for sure
Cost price is not far off, then there's + logistics/freight cost
After all, it's a few tubes, sterilized swabs, buffer solution, a plastic shell surrounding a piece of paper (testing strip) that looks like litmus paper (I know it's not, but when you physically pull it apart, it looks like one)
And some kits require a UV light (Hough brand from Woolworths)
So I have access to literally thousands of RATs through my organisations office in Singapore. I could have them landed here next week via air for around $6 a test all said and done. I tried to order a months worth for all my employees (for piece of mind or as needed), customs won’t allow it. “Personal consumption quantities only” not allowed to distribute these goods outside immediate family, even for free. I could sort of understand this If we had easy access locally. So frustrating. - adz1179
Latitude Pay have $20 off $60 spend at Ozsale.
Anyone got theirs yet?
Nope. No indication of postage either yet.
EDIT: I checked my account. It says estimated delivery is 01/03 to 09/03.
That's a far cry from the original claim of shipping on 04/02.
What a joke.
Someone must have heard me whinging… I just received an update stating that my order was on it's way, with delivery expected 16-22/02.
