Edit: This ozbargain only deal does not participate in the normal store free delivery. This is to give those people that want to buy more product on this deal, better savings.

Edit #2: to make it completely clear, you pay for shipping on this deal. No free shipping applies. Buy one and pay $18.91 +$12 delivery = $30.91. Buy 2 and pay $18.91+$18.91+$12 = 49.82. Etc. shipping is capped at $12 and regardless of what is on offer elsewhere on my site, you do not get free delivery on this deal, it is $12 capped.

      yeah, I hear you. But, this deal, just for OzBargain is a basement price for coffee and the delivery is listed separately - that give people that wants to buy in larger quantities the benefit of a low base price. Delivery for this deal only is quoted as extra at a capped rate of $12 per order. I have tried to make that clear, but I understand what your saying. Thanks.

    http://www.byronbeans.com.au have free delivery till the end on May.
    So 1kg of byron beans is $28.95 compared to $18.91 / kilo +$12del = $30.91 (even through as mentioned they do have Free Del anywhere in Australia?? looks like the normal sale beans incorporate the delivery cost in the pricing)
    If you and buying a LOT of coffee well they do get cheaper)

    • ozzieDuck on 06/05/2012 - 10:04

      Different kettle fish (Aussie beans vs imported and roasted local), but thanks for pointing that out. It does help compare the standard shipping costs of each! ($5.50 @ byron, and $12 for baybeans).

          I think you're barking up the wrong tree here. This is an ozbargain only offer, and a pretty hot one too. You pay $12 for shipping with this offer. Not negotiable.

    Tough crowd huh.

    This is a good deal for bulk orders. $12 capped shipping vs pay shipping included in the price of each and every bag. I know which I'd prefer.

    This deal is pretty much the same as the other $25/kg shipped min 2kg deals bayBeans has done. They were good deals, and so is this.

    • Store Repbaybeans @ Bay Beans on 06/05/2012 - 09:36

      Thanks stumo.

    $30.91 - This "deal".
    $34.70 - Normal price.
    $3.79 isn't much of a bargain…

    "Free Delivery (Anywhere in Australia)" on main page banner and then there is this "Bay Beans does not charge an extra fee for delivery" but charges anyway. Make up your mind.

    Ordered for me as I'm keen to try the Baybeans roast out, however on some of the comments about treating potential customers - I think it's borderline at the moment! May be worth seeing some of the other threads where reps post actively, often feedback is taken on-board directly to create further good will.

    Having said that, I don't think the rep has much else to prove, it is a bargain at this price - I think the delivery cost is just rubbing people the wrong way since it's normally 'free' for standard purchases.

    • Store Repbaybeans @ Bay Beans on 06/05/2012 - 21:30

    I think this is a bargain price. In future probably make it simpler $50 for 2kg and bigger discount for more. I was a little taken aback when I read $12 for delivery, but realised it was a good price until I did the maths.

    Despite the postage arguments this is a good deal. We have tried four varieties from BayBeans and like the Espresso Master best. Would have ordered on this deal but prefer Espresso Master over Forte.

    James has provided great service in the past, even helping me to change varieties after I had purchased. Previous courier deliveries have been slow to Perth, taking over a week.

    Yep, this thread is a typical example of what's going wrong with OzB nowadays. A few egocentric people having a superficial look at what's being offered, not doing the math or thinking that maybe others have different needs to them; then whining & making specious comparisons to…well, anything it seems!

    News Flash: If you expect every deal to be a fire sale kiddies, pretty soon you'll have exactly two options for your coffee…Coles & Woolies! If you can think big-picture enough, then you can apply this logic to any deal. Here you have a small business making an OzB only offer with incrementally escalating savings for progressively larger orders, starting with $3.79 off the usual price for a single kg. WTF do you want, do you need the guy to pay you to take his coffee away for it to be considered a bargain!

    Being pedantic over a one-off exception to the usual free shipping arrangement, then getting all indignant over the natural consequence of retorts by the OP doesn't help either. Boo-hoo, you give the guy a serve & then when he quips back…suddenly he's the bad guy…grow up OzB'ers!

    • Store Repbaybeans @ Bay Beans on 08/05/2012 - 08:25

      Very well said and a great summary.

        I'm know I shouldn't be getting on my high-horse either, but you've only got to read some of the idiotic complaints here & compare them to those on this bargain posted by ozpete: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/69560 & see they're basically appearing everywhere to know OzB is deteriorating.

        The petty, pedantic, specious arguments over simple stuff is going to be what deters businesses from offering, not the fiscal cost aspects of doing the deal; not to mention the grilling of innocent posters of bargains. We all lose then, retailers, bargainers & the community in general. It's gotta be hard to foster goodwill when you have people abusing you…on a Sunday no less!!!

    How come only Coffee.com.au can afford to have free shipping? I buy beans from them, they ship from NSW to VIC here for free. $8.75 for 250g is not bad with shipping included. 1kg is too much to buy at once as 250g lasts me close to a month.

    • Store Repbaybeans @ Bay Beans on 07/05/2012 - 20:19

      I think this is a case of your not seeing the detail. Bay Beans normally offer free delivery on all products, all the time, its just this OzB deal that delivery is separate so if you buy more, you get more discount. this deal was discussed in the forums before being offered here.

      but, for fun;

      these guys seem to offer free delivery on their coffee beans and their price is good too - $34.70 per kilo
      http://www.baybeans.com.au/buy-coffee-beans.html

      they also do subscription coffee that saves even more;
      http://www.baybeans.com.au/coffee-subscriptions.html

      or if you want to go bulk, get 40% off when you buy 10kg
      http://www.baybeans.com.au/wholesale-coffee-beans.html

      or you can buy it in this deal.. as an example, if you were to buy 3kgs, that's $22.91 /kg delivered (free)

    I think your coffee is the best, I purchased before, it's nowhere near the supermarket quality.
    But I wish you offer smaller packaging, like 250g, with a fairer shipping fee.

    Perhaps introduce the smaller package, but customer must pay shipping unless purchasing 2 or more.

    The reason is 500g or even 1kg is a lot, for most people it will expire before they finish them.

    What's the expiry date anyway?

    Thanks!

    • Store Repbaybeans @ Bay Beans on 08/05/2012 - 09:00

      I like to not charge extra for shipping on any products, and this thread certainly re-enforces that. So, a smaller bag size isnt viable under that model. But, you can get 500g for $18.63 delivered here;
      http://www.baybeans.com.au/coffee-subscriptions.html

      Thats around the same cost, or less, for what you will pay for half as much product elsewhere.

      • punjabiz on 08/05/2012 - 12:47

        I ordered my first 500g from James last month and I am not no connoisseur but can tell the different between good coffee and not so good coffee… I got the Forte blend and it was really good, better than the GJ blend (BLOODY EXPENSIVE) I was using previously on my home espresso machine…

        I cannot complain about the price as the supermarket packaged coffee is rubbish, Gloria Jeans grind/beans -> too expensive!!

    The coffee from Bay Beans is excellent & I highly recommend it. This is a great deal if you order 2 more kgs - works out at $25/kg delivered (& less if you order more obviously). This may be a lot for some, but you can always order for workmates or other members of the family to make it worthwhile. If you dont use that much, dont order it - its not compulsory!! There are lots of deals on Ozbargain that are in greater quantities than I want, but I dont sook about it!!
    Keep up the offers James & pls dont take it off early.
