      I'm not surprised, spruiker :)

  • rmk on 25/12/2012 - 12:28

    guess it's a bargain if what you're buying costs more than the postage

  • cpho on 25/12/2012 - 12:30

    Dat absurdly expensive shipping…

  • annoynimous on 25/12/2012 - 12:35

    that floppy cushion was 6 bucks! :|

  • couger on 25/12/2012 - 12:35

    Please note： our shipping cost including packing material (plastic, foam, paper and item included), labor cost(holiday bonus, overhead etc)
    so dont expect them to be cheap.

    And the beauty of it is if anything goes wrong or is DOA, you have the right to a full refund (shipping not included). LOL fail.

  • brentsbits on 25/12/2012 - 12:38

    Normally they do stuff to combine shipping and just charge a reasonable shipping fee, today they are charging the shipping on every individual item. Ridiculous. 60 items (yeah I went overboard) = $342 shipping. Some of them were small items too.

    • annoynimous on 25/12/2012 - 12:40

      it's slightly below 6 bucks for each item regardless of size and weight

    it says bulk postage surcharge on a bloody cookbook.

    • Ace on 25/12/2012 - 14:46

      it even says it for freakin napkins!

  • indianregulator on 25/12/2012 - 12:45

    picked 3 random items, 17.85 shipping….hmm

    I love how every single item has a 'bulky item shipping surcharge' banner, even (1) a thin cheese knife (2) napkins and (3) pens…

    I have had enough of COTD and their misleading advertising.

  • doperst on 25/12/2012 - 12:45

    Here is a little trick to order only 1 item:
    Log in, add 3x items to cart, then proceed to checkout page (https://www.catchoftheday.com.au/checkout_payment.php).
    In a new tab in your browser open your cart and change quantity to 1. Return to the previous tab with checkout page and refresh it by pressing F5.

    Don't know if they honour the order though :)

    If you are thinking of ordering "4x Men’s Quality Ultra Cotton Polo Shirts" - note that these are too big. Check the size chart at the bottom of the page.

    The shipping is outrageous and makes the items not a bargain at all. This is ozbargain not Ozripoff.

    • annoynimous on 25/12/2012 - 13:04

      well if you follow that philosophy "Nothing is free in this world"

      then the shipping isn't all the expensive when you divide between item value plus some on shipping cost, that's how COTD worked out which items to list anyway. They'd end up pocketing back the excess amount after paying for standard shipping.

      I think it's poor form and cheap 5 year old tactics to convince buyers today that something is really free when there's every intention to regain a couple of dollars back in costs. Would have been more honest to say a flat amount like the 2 dollar shop + shipping cost

  • stevelo on 25/12/2012 - 12:53

    ordered 3 items, not every items worth ~$5.50 (avg shipping cost per item). i bough 2 bottles ($5.50), 2 princess chair ($11) and xxxx ($5.50). don't know if they worth $6 each.

  • Derrick Crane on 25/12/2012 - 12:54

    They're not called Catch of the day for nothing.

      I agreed go to Facebook cannot see all the comment, stupid COTD, must be blocking all the negative comments.

    These COTD everything's free sales are a BIG FAT JOKE and we all know it!!!

  • JSQUARED on 25/12/2012 - 13:11

    Shipping's probably more than what the item is worth (considering they are combining postage).

    • annoynimous on 25/12/2012 - 13:13

      they are not combining postage, each item is charged as individual bulk postage

    and someone asked on here the other day why there is so much hate for Con Of The Day

    this people, this is why this dodgy s*** hole of a site should be blacklisted

  • kabigon on 25/12/2012 - 13:18

    If a deal is promoted as "just pay shipping" then I expect some documentation from AusPost to match the exact total CotD is charging and not a cent more.

    • morpheu on 25/12/2012 - 13:30

      they already say "Please note： our shipping cost including packing material (plastic, foam, paper and item included), labor cost(holiday bonus, overhead etc)" so they admit to charging over and beyond the actual shipping cost!
      and because Con Of The Day is taken, i'll call this little game of theirs Contrivance Of The Day!

  • rldowling03 on 25/12/2012 - 14:23

    Oh. Catch of the Day seem to be getting worse and worse

    • NosDan on 25/12/2012 - 14:32

      no, there just as bad as they have always been. :)

    the best part is browsing through all the items with bulky item postage on everything, while seeing the banner at the top flaunting their new $12 shipping cap.

    not free at all.

  • mighty on 25/12/2012 - 19:01

    What scares me, is that there must still be plenty of suckers buying from these "sales". This isn't the first time they've done this "just pay postage" scam. If nobody was biting, they'd have canned it after the first couple of tries.
