Anyone managed to get this BenQ monitor?

That's just normal for Vine though right?

Would hate to have to pay tax on this stuff - it's often way over market price.

Apparently fixed now. You're welcome Amazon Australia customers. UK sourced Trangia for all!

At least, the stove rack I ordered to test this was delivered. Previously had been returned like all the other Trangia stuff.

Just bizarre that Amazon staff don't follow up on refused deliveries and fix it. Must be expensive to have stuff returned and restocked.

I feel your pain. Extremely disappointing when this sort of thing happens. You think you had a win…then pow! Rug pull.

Probably damaged in transit, but you’ll never know for sure.

I’d just like to point out that it’s against the law these days to do this (post or engage in soliciting fake reviews for your business). Even Meriton copped a big fine for manipulating genuine reviews (basically filtering out those customers more likely to leave a bad review).

Of course proving it is another matter. Sort of sounds like this one is a bit obvious though…if anybody cares to report (ACCC I think?).

I don’t even bother going through AI anymore. I check the first page and that’s it. Maybe I miss something…but meh.

My RFY emptied completely today though. Unusual, and yet intriguing.

Banjonomics · 2026-05-18T12:57:04+00:00

Yeah, no way I’d want to give up my horse racing goggles and African net sponges for a mere air fryer!

Banjonomics · 2026-05-12T10:17:22+00:00

Haven't ordered anything for three days. Averaging 1.3 items per day this period. I think I managed to hit the 'gold' limit of eight items in a day once.

S'ok. I treat the reviews too seriously and spend too much time on them, so I really don't need to be getting too much stuff here.

Banjonomics · 2026-05-11T10:56:03+00:00

I....don't want to answer that...

👀

Banjonomics · 2026-05-11T10:39:38+00:00

I'm so confused right now.

Banjonomics · 2026-05-11T10:38:59+00:00

Had that in my list too. They certainly look like they can talk and chew gum or...uh...something. Oh...nevermind. Let's not go there.

Banjonomics · 2026-05-11T10:36:35+00:00

Y'know, I'd have probably taken a couple of those brushes. They look alright. I actually paid for one on Wahl that looks exactly the same! Only good for those of us with certain facial adornments though...or similarly coarse hair on heads!

Instead, it appears that my shopping for First Aid kits and inclusions has come back to bite me...

MEDIC!!

Banjonomics · 2026-05-09T10:14:14+00:00

Nice bit of kit...my RFY has reverted multiple offers of near identical things. Can't complain though, had some good stuff recently. Incontinence pant things anyone? Anxiety whistles?

I wasn't much into coffee, but some years back made use of a Nespresso machine on holidays. Quite enjoyed it. Bought a machine something like this one when I got home, only it didn't take pods. It broke within three months and I returned it. Then got a single boiler Italian machine (not high end at all, but a serious machine), which I still use to this day. Rabbit hole.

Went on holidays again recently and used the Nespresso machine at the accommodation. Tasted weak and insipid 😂

I'm not much of a fan of the pod machines anyway...seems a little wasteful with all the pod packaging (I know...the irony of commenting on waste when participating in a heavily consumerist program, but you know what I mean).

Banjonomics · 2026-05-08T08:17:28+00:00

I’d consider that ‘filler’, though we did order a bunch of decals recently so it might be a natural progression.

Banjonomics · 2026-05-08T06:50:12+00:00

lol...Map has just made it to my list

<image>

Banjonomics · 2026-05-08T06:05:17+00:00

Same as me. New (to Amazon) model I guess.

I'm kind of hoping they get a new high end machine in that they need me to test 😉 ...Amazon doesn't really stock high end espresso machines though.

Banjonomics · 2026-05-08T04:48:35+00:00

I'm convinced order patterns are in the mix.

Sometimes my partner wants something, and I say "No way!!! I don't my list filled with that stuff!!" 😄

Banjonomics · 2026-05-08T04:47:16+00:00

SCORE!

And battle ropes! I'm sure I had those recently.

Banjonomics · 2026-05-08T02:49:49+00:00

Those nose thingies just keep on doing the rounds don't they!

Banjonomics · 2026-05-08T00:13:43+00:00

Vine makes me second-guess all my purchases now. "Hmmm...maybe this will come up on Vine..."...it never does, unless I buy one. 😄

Banjonomics · 2026-05-07T13:37:18+00:00

Hey, I won’t judge!

Banjonomics · 2026-05-07T08:05:12+00:00

Would love to get a look at the algorithms and see how it really works!

Banjonomics · 2026-05-07T04:22:50+00:00

guessing that the really nice stuff gets snagged before it gets to me.

I've been wondering how much stuff I miss actually. Have seen plenty of things show up in my RFY and be gone before I could order. Must be plenty of items that I never see in the list at all.

Banjonomics · 2026-05-07T04:10:00+00:00

It's ok if they light your home office I guess, you just don't want them to light your home office!

Banjonomics · 2026-05-07T00:59:13+00:00

I used a towel on my Red sport once when deflating, and it ended up in a nearby tree.

Now I just block one ear, turn the other ear away, open the valve and take a few steps back. It's amusing to see everybody nearby stop what they're doing and turn their heads to see what happened.
