Rivers .... back in the 1980's they were a trusted brand with prices to match but these days I'd probably look at Temu for shoes before…

jvdv001 commented on Fortis 700C Urban Hybrid Road Bike $69.99 ($59.99 with Kogan First) + Delivery @ Kogan
Given a basic pair of tyres is around $80 / $100 I can't imagine how safe this bike would be. These things should have some sort of Aust…

Drakesy on Fortis 26" Foldable Mountain Bike $129 ($99.99 with Kogan First) + Delivery @ Kogan

A cheap bike from Kogan - I wouldn't rely on it even around the back yard. Go over a bump and a fork snaps ......not worth the risk.

Wow - a bike for $189 from Kogan. I wouldn't risk riding it to the end of my drive.…

Sungrower on Garmin Edge 530 GPS $294.96 + Delivery ($0 with Prime) @ Amazon UK via AU

There are usually plenty of used Garmin Nuvi's (Garmin's car GPS's) on eBay. Best to get one which has "LTM" or "LM" in the title (Life…

The US version of the Edge 530 is loaded with US maps so if you want to use Australian maps you'll have to load them from OSM or some other…

jvdv001 commented on [Kogan First] Garmin Fenix 6 Pro $599, Fenix 6/6S $469, 6X Pro $699 (Official AU Stock) Delivered @ Kogan
I wouldn't touch anything form Kogan no matter what the price.

jvdv001 commented on Which Brands Do You Boycott and Why?
Kogan - for obvious and well known reasons. Flight Centre - for their refund policy. Even before Covid they had very high cancellation…

I applied last year to one of these ANZ promotions and got knocked back. Had more than adequate backing, an excellent credit rating but…

Grey import and if you have a problem Kogan warranties are a nightmare.

A dog is a long long term commitment and high maintenance + of course the inevitable vet fees. Too many people get dogs as an impulse buy…

You get what you pay for - and better hope you don't have an issue or need to make a warranty claim with Kogan.

CoreJava on MAXXIS Re-Fuse 700c Tyres $19.99 (Was $49.95) + $8.95 Shipping (Free over $89.95) @ The Bicycle Store

Their FB page is also full of complaints from unhappy customers - don't people look at reviews before parting with their money?

jvdv001 commented on MAXXIS Re-Fuse 700c Tyres $19.99 (Was $49.95) + $8.95 Shipping (Free over $89.95) @ The Bicycle Store
Looking at some of the reviews they don't seem to have a very good track record. https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/the-bicycle-store

After a friend had a bad experience in trying to get a refund on a faulty refurb phone bought from Kogan I read the following story in…

jvdv001 commented on TCL 50P8M 50" UHD Android LED TV $380 + Delivery (Free C&C) @ The Good Guys eBay
Are the stands adjustable on these models - can they be moved inwards?

Bought a pair around July 2017 from JB Hi Fi and now the battery is dead - I have always used a "standard" USB wall charger to charge them…

virhlpool on ROCK 360° Universal Car Phone Holder (Updated Edition) $2.63 USD (~$3.36 AUD) Delivered @ Aliexpress

The unit will expand to 3" and it just fits my Garmin 2455 which has a 4.5 inch screen so I doubt it would fit any Garmin with a 5" or…

bargaino on Domino's Pizza 50% off Delivered or Pick Up (Excludes Value Range) - Expires 9pm

Yes it seems the Domino's company is just ripping off the franchisees - much like 7-Eleven.
