The DealsDirect Frenzy continues
Last week, we noted a huge increase (26) in the amount of DealsDirect posts. Will DealsDirect be the new powerhouse or is this just an EOFY blip?
- This week 37 deals were posted (usual average of 4 per month).
- 6 of those made the front page.
Gym Insider Info and Prices
A former membership consultant at Fitness First let the community in on some secrets and hard sale tactics they use to sign members up. In a similar thread, users have been posting how much they pay for their gym memberships. It seems people pay as little as a few dollars a week to upwards of $30 per week. Let us know how much you pay for your gym membership.
Dick Smith taking money but not delivering orders
Dick Smith recently upgraded it’s website. Over the past couple of weeks, many OzBargainers have placed orders for various items using Paypal, only for Dick Smith to lose their order including any record of payment. Their customer service department have promised to contact affected users to resolve the issues but have left most people in the dark. This has resulted in users having to open a dispute with Paypal. DSE acknowledges the issue and have removed Paypal as a payment option. There is no ETA on a fix so it’s recommended to initiate a Paypal dispute before the 45 day window closes.
Picture of the Week
A user on Reddit posted this parking sign from the new Woolworths that opened up in Woolloomooloo, NSW. Can’t be real right? Apparently it is, as news.com.au investigated and found it to be legit. Surely, this must be the most expensive parking lot in the world? Woolworths responded and has now increased the free parking period to 1.5 hours with 1.5 to 2 hours charged at $25. Never underestimate the power of social media in the hands of consumers.
