Nothing wrong with that as long as you're aware before you buy.May find the invoice/bill etc is from his Chinese/Hong Kong company etc? Warranty may mean having to get it back to the manufacturer yourself etc.Don't get me wrong - no need for red flags, am all for parallel importing etc and have bought stuff off him before (including expensive Senheisser headphones and Canon camera) - just realise that it's not an Aussie Bricks and Mortar store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the fact they're grossly overpriced to begin with?The guy is as relevant to consumers as music companies are to music distribution and studios are to home movie viewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 7m 18d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 20/02/14 05:51 AM Share Posted 20/02/14 05:51 AM I'm not advertising for them here but - (yes, but) - Kogan is owned and operated by an aussie in Australia. Everything does get shipped from overseas because that's where the warehouse is coz with that countries manufacturing and importing laws, it enables them to get stuff very cheap therefore it's cheaper for the customer. Warranty. ..... . Samsung for example, has service centers everywhere and that's where a phone will go if something happens...not back overseas..If you knew how much harvy norman paid for the same phone, you would wonder why there is sooooo much mark up but when you stop and think of electricity rent wages etc. you understand why.Kogan doesnt have all that sh*t.Only kid laborers perhaps.... ( that's not nice - sorry ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tab Sucker Moderating Team 32,303 Member For: 20y 7m Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 20/02/14 06:06 AM Share Posted 20/02/14 06:06 AM Some of their stuff is absolute crap though, what ever you do don't buy the fake gilette razor blades. They are very cheap for a reason (I.e. better off using a butter knife to shave) Meanwhile in Souf Austraya... Justice Kelly heard a child’s motorbike, which weighed 50kg, arrived at the couple’s home on the Tuesday before Chloe died. Prosecutor Sandi McDonald, SC, said Chloe was repeatedly put on the bike between Tuesday and Friday despite sustaining injuries including two black eyes and significant bruising. She said Polkinghorne recorded several videos of her daughter falling off the motorbike and McPartland putting her back on. She said the couple could be heard laughing in the video. Ms McDonald said that, on the Friday afternoon, Google searches were made on the couple’s computer for the terms “out cold” and “won’t wake up”. What the actual f*ck? http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/national/sa-woman-ashlee-jean-polkinghorne-pleads-guilty-to-manslaughter-of-daughter-4/story-fnii5yv5-1226832620728 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobylee Member 120 Member For: 11y 3m 12d Posted 20/02/14 06:13 AM Share Posted 20/02/14 06:13 AM I don't know if they're still doing it, but they were also buying panel tvs and badging them as "kogan". Which is done frequently so stores can push their exclusive core range and eliminate price matching. Opens up a can of worms when you don't have a store to directly return faulty goods to.

Most shopping centres have apple stores and samsung have quite a few service centres. Also wtf tab. Give me four able bodied men and some baseball bats and I'll deliver some street justice for that cruelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
