Oh…. š²
Currently $11.99 Aldi.
Same size?
The ALDI one is actually larger than the large in this deal.
I've seen the ALDI one and it's tiny. For small dogs and cats only.@S2: Did I miss some update to maths?
Pretty sure the large at 60cm would be bigger than the ALDI one at 45cm?
OzBargain is full of these marketing posts without real values anymore. Commenters like us has to find better deals for them…
Commenters like us has to find better deals for themā¦
That's why there is a comments section.
It is your duty to provide your opinions as to whether it is a bargain or not.
You're right you're right.
Lol. better get cracking then 4Eva. Your next post will double your tally.
As someone who has looked at these in recent months I can say the prices are very competitive for the sizes quoted. Except for the freight, I would have bought the large for a recently adopted moggie who apparently didn't like the confines of the smaller KMart one. Stepped in once, jumped out straight away and has avoided it since.
There are similar, but still not equivalent 60cm beds for around the same price ($25) here: https://uggexpress.com.au/products/dog-cat-calming-bed-cushiā¦ Dogs may not care about 5cm lower sidewalls but cats will appreciate the difference,

It does look like SPAM
Spam, exactly the same products available in numerous other places. Kmart and Aldi both currently offer this product.
exactly the same products available in numerous other places.
I'm interested Jase - or at least our cat is. Link please.
On what planet is 58cm XXL for a dog? My dog, japanese spitz ie small, has a a similar bed which was listed as large (76cm). He hangs off it.
The ad should be changed to read … Comfy bed for your Chihuahua…
The Large size diameter is 60cm and the XXL size diameter is 100cm. A chihuahua can be seen in one of our photos - he is using the Large size and it is pretty big for him.
Sorry read you specifications table which shows: XXL 48cm x 15.5cm x 58cm. This appears to be the box the bed comes in not the bed itself.
Nonetheless I would not classify 60cm as large. It gives a false impression.
Yep Improv, not large for a dog but large for a cat, and oddly enough cats use and like these nests. https://www.somerzby.com.au/products/calming-cat-bed/
OP should change the title and link the "cat version" in the description.@Igaf: True … though I suspect it depends on the type of cat. For our American and Russian friends who keep slightly bigger cats as pets this may still be classed as small :-)
@Improv: Yep XXL probably too small for a Maine Coon even (depends), let alone a cheetah. Our mog is relatively long and tall for a domestic (eg a tabby), looks just like this bloke, a typical tuxedo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Photograph_of_Socks_the_Cat-07-13-1994(6461517483).jpg
Cheaper elsewhere as mentioned above by m9. Also appears to be normal price -

No bargain here, just an ad.
You shouldn't need a wet nurse. Post a better price for the same item or stop trolling deals with the same inane comment.
I sincerely hope you get someone else to buy your car tyres for you.
Still bandwagoning?
Still parading as a the vigilante voting police?
Post a better price for the same item
Ok… Here at Aldi $11.99
Here at Kmart $18.
Here at AliExpress $11.40 + GST
Here on eBay 110cm @ $43 including shippingWant me to keep going?
Oh, and before I forget… "cheaper elsewhere…"
The last line of my comment above yours go above your head or do you struggle with simple concepts like size differences?
The public service commenters on similar products above didn't feel the need to neg the deal, can you think of any reason why?
Comments like those of the neggers here could be applied to a majority of deals on this website. I'll leave you to work out why they (the neggers) aren't consistent in their approach. Most Ozbargainers are mature and intelligent enough to compare like with like and give leeway - considerable leeway in some cases - eg Wera) to what are apparently "better quality" products, without feeling the need (or in some cases, having the cojones) to neg a deal.
Btw - thanks for the ebay link in your edited comment (the ALDI link is obviously different, I've seen it and it's smaller than the KMart one I originally bought) . So far it's the only reasonable comparison. $20.95 AND free postage.
do you struggle with simple concepts like size differences?
I literally compared the largest and most expensive one on eBay from a random seller and it was still cheaper. Neg stays.
The public service commenters on similar products above didn't feel the need to neg the deal
Well, that is up to them. It is not your place to dictate what people do with their votes. The guidelines for neg voting clearly state "cheaper elsewhere" and I have supplied 4 links to equivalent items for far less, falling well within the "negative voting guidelines".
Comments like those of the neggers here could be applied to a majority of deals on this website.
I wish more people would neg vote on shit deals that are… "cheaper elsewhere"… Then maybe this website wouldn't be the cesspool of junk mail that it currently is… It has become more "OzJunkMailAlternative" than it has about posting "bargains".
I'll leave you to work out why they (the neggers) aren't consistent in their approach
I don't discriminate. If it's a shit deal, it's shit. And sorry I cant get to every single post on every single day to make sure my negs are applied evenly and consistently. I will try harder in the future…
Btw - thanks for the ebay link in your edited comment… So far it's the only reasonable comparison. $20.95 AND free postage.
Is it cheaper than the one from OP's post? If so, why are YOU not negging the deal based on "OzBargain voting guidelines"… Seems a bit… inconsistent…
(or in some cases, having the cojones)
This is the reason a lot of people DON'T neg piss poor deals. It's because of the "neg police" that feel the need to degrade and chastise users who leave a valid neg. It shouldn't take "cojones" to neg a deal, but a feeling of community duty to weed out the shitposts… If you feel a neg vote is given in error and doesnt fit the "negative voting guidlines", it's not your place to chastise users into removing these votes… You report it, and move on.
Trying to get users to remove their negative votes is no different to someone trying to solicit for positive votes, and soliciting for votes IS against the site rules… Ironically, negging a post based on being "cheaper elsewhere"… is not.
I see you and your mates…
WTF are you on about? I work independent of people. My decisions are my own. I see a post with negs on it, I go and have a look. If I agree with the negs and it is cheaper elsewhere, I will research it myself and leave my own feedback based on the "OzBaragain Voting Guidlines".
Plenty of Ozbargainers don't deal with Ali, Temu etc
I don't give a shit what "other users" do. I am not voting using their votes, I am voting using mine, and I DO use AliExpress, eBay, and countless other sites, as do many others…
Your justification in the Zaitronics pile-on… is astonishingly naive and ignorant.
No it isn't, it is "factual". This is basically what the OP of that post was trying to do, get us to buy from them and not from their direct suppliers. The only "arrogant and naive" view of that post, is from you… Why the hell would you not buy direct from the wholesalers to get a better price?
How do you think small businesses get a foothold?
Don't care. Not my problem and not the issue here… It seems to me that you are suggesting that I pay a premium to someone just so they can rake more profit off the top of it and that I should feel bad about going to their supplier and buying direct to get it cheaper?
This website is about finding the BEST prices for things, not about "supporting small business"… If you want to support small business, go ahead. Maybe start your own website, call it "OzNotBadPricesButWeSupportSmallBusinessToRakeInProfits.com.au"… You can even have no neg button for you "deals".
The point is, you are NOT the neg police. The admins/mods/power users are. If you feel a vote is given in error, use the "report" button… What you don't get to do is to go around harassing site users because YOU don't like anyone using the neg button. It's because of people like you that many don't use the neg button for fear of having to be scolded by the "neg police".
The "neg police" are the EXACT reason why there should be no caveat on negging a bad deal to have to leave a mandatory comment, because all it does is brings out the "iF YoUsE dOn'T LiKe iT, WhY dO yOuSe EvEn cOmE iN HeRe?/??" neg police to "shame" these users for their votes.
Grow up, and pull your head in, you're not my real dad, you cant tell me what to do.
@pegaxs: The old cut and paste. Happy to play.
I literally compared the largest and most expensive one on eBay from a random seller and it was still cheaper. Neg stays.
Your first comment - which I replied to - contained only the Aldi link which is NOT the same product - as I'd already suggested. Your neg is valid because you bothered to search. I have no problem with it. By proxy you also validated the other neggers, who had previously failed to justfy their negs, unless of course you think 800g and 1kg are equivalent .
I wish more people would neg vote on shit deals that areā¦ "cheaper elsewhere"ā¦ Then maybe this website wouldn't be the cesspool of junk mail that it currently isā¦ It has become more "OzJunkMailAlternative" than it has about posting "bargains".
And I would prefer people continue to use their common sense. What you - or anyone else - consider a bargain (or in your collective cases, not a bargain) isn't applicable to evryine, let alone sacrosanct.
I don't discriminate. If it's a shit deal, it's shit. And sorry I cant get to every single post on every single day to make sure my negs are applied evenly and consistently. I will try harder in the futureā¦
Can't wait. I'll PM you on the obvious ones. You can start with this: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/843427
Is it cheaper than the one from OP's post? If so, why are YOU not negging the deal based on "OzBargain voting guidelines"ā¦ Seems a bitā¦ inconsistentā¦
Because I didn't see it until you posted the link. In any case, like many Ozbargainers I don't routinely neg deals even if there's a cheaper price elswewhere. Why not? Because discouraging businesses and deal posters is counter productive.
This is the reason a lot of people DON'T neg piss poor deals. It's because of the "neg police" that feel the need to degrade and chastise users who leave a valid neg. It shouldn't take "cojones" to neg a deal, but a feeling of community duty to weed out the shitpostsā¦ If you feel a neg vote is given in error and doesnt fit the "negative voting guidlines", it's not your place to chastise users into removing these votesā¦ You report it, and move on.
Fair comment, in part. Not one of the original neggers - or you initially - provided a valid reason for your neg. You at least eventually linked one cheaper equivalent product. I don't generally involve mods in any dispute and don't intend to change that approach.
Trying to get users to remove their negative votes is no different to someone trying to solicit for positive votes, and soliciting for votes IS against the site rulesā¦ Ironically, negging a post based on being "cheaper elsewhere"ā¦ is not.
I was simply pointing out the rules which you seemed to think above are the be all and end all. Hypocrisy much?
I don't give a shit what "other users" do. I am not voting using their votes, I am voting using mine, and I DO use AliExpress, eBay, and countless other sites, as do many othersā¦
I also use some OS sites but unlike you I won't neg a deal based on a low price because as we all know there are other factors involved. What suits you, or me, isn't what suits everyone.
Your justification in the Zaitronics pile-onā¦ is astonishingly naive and ignorant.
No it isn't, it is "factual". This is basically what the OP of that post was trying to do, get us to buy from them and not from their direct suppliers. The only "arrogant and naive" view of that post, is from youā¦ Why the hell would you not buy direct from the wholesalers to get a better price?I've already mentioned the inconsistency/naivety in your attitude. A complete denial of fact. There are plenty of reasons why I, and most Ozbargainers I suspect, buy locally. I'm sure you know why even if you disagree.
Don't care. Not my problem and not the issue hereā¦ It seems to me that you are suggesting that I pay a premium to someone just so they can rake more profit off the top of it and that I should feel bad about going to their supplier and buying direct to get it cheaper?
I don't care what you personally do, I care about the possible effect of your vote and comments are on potential new contributors to Ozbargain. His deals don't suit you? You think I gave a fig? Comment and move on.
This website is about finding the BEST prices for things, not about "supporting small business"ā¦ If you want to support small business, go ahead. Maybe start your own website, call it "OzNotBadPricesButWeSupportSmallBusinessToRakeInProfits.com.au"ā¦ You can even have no neg button for you "deals".
Simplistic, egoistic twaddle. Lowest price doesn't always equate to the best deal for many on this site, for obvious reasons.
The point is, you are NOT the neg police. The admins/mods/power users are. If you feel a vote is given in error, use the "report" buttonā¦ What you don't get to do is to go around harassing site users because YOU don't like anyone using the neg button. It's because of people like you that many don't use the neg button for fear of having to be scolded by the "neg police".
And you are NOT the comment police. What you don't get to do is censor my comments because you don't like to be chgallenged. If you feel like you're being harassed use the "report" button.
The "neg police" are the EXACT reason why there should be no caveat on negging a bad deal to have to leave a mandatory comment, because all it does is brings out the "iF YoUsE dOn'T LiKe iT, WhY dO yOuSe EvEn cOmE iN HeRe?/??" neg police to "shame" these users for their votes.
Hardly. If you think a deal is "advertising" then use the "report" button. If it doesn't suit you but could suit many others add your (priceless) price comment and move on.
Grow up, and pull your head in, you're not my real dad, you cant tell me what to do.
Musk-esque. Grow up and learn that you're not the centre of the universe. This country needs local businesses and entrepreneurs far more than it needs you.
I see you and your mates have combined to try and frighten off yet another seller: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/842148
Here's a clue. Plenty of Ozbargainers don't deal with Ali, Temu etc for various reasons. Your collective pile-on in the deal above, using Chinese platforms as examples, is classic fwittery. Looking at the nics involved you're in good company.
Your justification in the Zaitronics pile-on that You are basically asking us to NOT buy from international sellers, so you can buy from them, slap a mark up on it and resell them to us. is astonishingly naive and ignorant. Given Australia manufactures very little, how do you think other (often far `bigger) Australian retailers operate? How do you think small businesses get a foothold?
@WatchNerd: Lol. Bullying them? I'm simply replying to your cabal's inanity. You negged this deal without any evidence - failing to recognise obvious differences in cheaper linked products. That's strictly against the rules - which require nuance and maturity clearly lacking in some Ozbargainers. That's your modus operandi, but only when you think it's safe to dip your toes. Why is that exactly? Rhetorical question.
There are ways of making new sellers in particular aware of the rules and ethos, but that requires awareness and maturity.
I'm well aware of voting guidleines, as well as the need to encourage sellers onto this site. Most people engage with it according to both the rules and the ethos.
You negged this deal without any evidence
Did you not read the part where watchnerd said:
Cheaper elsewhere as mentioned above by m9.
They made reference to a "cheaper price" as listed by m9
You negged this deal without any evidence
That is incorrect. Their evidence was based on m9's comment. This is sufficient evidence that there is a "lower price".
That's strictly against the rules
Where? State from the "neg voting rules" where it says a user MUST supply a completely new and original reference to a cheaper product? The only words I see there are "ideally" which is far from "mandatory".
You know what is against the rules? Trying to manipulate voting by telling users to remove their votes…
I'm well aware of voting guidleines
Obviously, you aren't.
as well as the need to encourage sellers onto this site.
Sellers, yes, advertisers and spammers, no.

Did you not read the part where watchnerd said:

Did you not read my comments about sizes or did you simply assume that size doesn't matter, as you did before you edited your own neg comment?
You negged this deal without any evidence
That is incorrect. Their evidence was based on m9's comment. This is sufficient evidence that there is a "lower price".See above. Bandwagoning is thankfully relatively rare on Ozbargain.

Where? State from the "neg voting rules" where it says a user MUST supply a completely new and original reference to a cheaper product? The only words I see there are "ideally" which is far from "mandatory".When I said "strictly" I was suggesting "in a formal sense, using the guidelines". They're called guidelines for a reason, and it requires reason and common sense to apply them.
You know what is against the rules? Trying to manipulate voting by telling users to remove their votesā¦
So you've said. I've already replied, even if it didn't sink in.
I'm well aware of voting guidleines
Obviously, you aren't.And yet I am. What a conundrum.
as well as the need to encourage sellers onto this site.
Sellers, yes, advertisers and spammers, no.As someone suggested above, use the "report" button in lieu of assuming that your needs and attitudes are universally shared.
They assumed it was an equivalent product without checking the sizes involved.
Of course I did, but did you?
Somerzby Large $27 = 60cm diameter
Kmart Medium $18 = 56cm diameterThat's pretty close considering these are not solid objects. Same goes with the height with a bit of fluffing.
Stop trolling.

Again, you are NOT the neg police. A user doesn't have to "provide" a "better price" if they make reference back to the multiple users who have already supplied "better prices".
or retract your neg
This is vote solicitation/manipulation. You are telling another user of this website how to vote/demanding they remove a valid vote. If you feel the vote is in error, you need to use the "report" link under their comment. It is not your place to demand voting one way or another.

Nor was I soliciting, something any reasonable adult would be able to see. Again, I've already covered your hyperbolic response even if you failed to comprehend it because it didn't agree with your narrow view.
@Igaf: I'll vote whichever way I want without being influenced by someone else. Your comment above sounded like a directive. As long as it is within the neg voting guidelines I'll continue voting how I like.
If you are unhappy, you can report my neg and have mods review and make a determination on whether it is an invalid neg.
See you in the next deal.
