We receive over 2.5 million visits a month from search engines. It’s great to have people discover OzBargain when they are looking for a bargain or a discussion on a product. Unfortunately, this also leads to a number of people landing on OzBargain thinking that they have reached some retailer. Every day we get people emailing us via our contact form about all kinds of non-OzBargain related issues. This, despite having a warning saying you are contacting OzBargain, a community site.

I bought through ISelect 2 of your Bakers Roast Coffee makers. I have
tried one and find it most unsatisfactory. The brochure says you can share
a great coffee with a friend, but it makes only one proper cup, and the 2
suppled cups are tiny , suitable forTurkish or Greek coffees maybe. Also
the coffee was only a little more than lukewarm . I wish to return them
for refund by you, but need your reply, and address for return. Looking
forward to hearing from you shortly……..
