The Tech Den Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I would like to thank QLDAF for allowing me to sponsor the site. I have developed a web site that you are all welcome to visit for aquarium products and is a ongoing process of work and new things to add. The Tech Den - Quality Aquarium Products www.TheTechDen.com.au Members of QLDAF also receive a discount of 10%. To get the discount when you go to the payment section it has a coupon code and if you enter QLDAF it will discount the products chosen by 10% Items are sent via Australia Post unless previously organised. There is also a section for Deals of the Week for specials. 90% of the items on the website are already discounted and range up to 40% off normal pricing. Then you also get another 10% off so there are some great bargains to be had. Deal of the Week - Aquarium products deal for your fishtank There are also items sold as flat packs that make it postage very cheap and flat pack items are charged at the rate of $2 per item. Flat Packs $2 Postage each item To give just a couple of examples of some great buys:- Macropore 350ml resin including a filter media bag worth $5 will cost you about $21 including postage and you QLDAF discount. Supachlor 2 liters - normally $60 this week just $35 less your QLDAF discount so ends up $31.50 plus postage which will vary depending on where you live. Have a look - let me know what you think.... johnbetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ageofaquariums Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I don't get it, you just sell gkloyd products for the same price You have to start somewhere. When i started my business 12 years ago i started with 5 products on sold.com.au johnbetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tech Den Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I don't get it, you just sell gkloyd products for the same price Even if they were the same price you still get 10% off for being a member with me. So it will be a minimum of 10% off and up to 42% difference and the 42% is not taking into consideration the additional 10% discount as a member. Compare 2 liters of Supachlor as it is almost half the price there is a difference of $28.50 or 2 liters of macropore and there is a $37.50 difference in price. The good thing is there are choices which delivers competition where you can purchase and it is totally up to you and I know where you will get more change. It might pay to do another comparison and consider the member discount on top of the majority of products that are discounted. johnbetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tech Den Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Undercutting your supplier? Just seems strange to me I purchase from the wholesaler and choose what I sell it for. It is just a start of products to come. Most people have been very happy with the pricing and service to date and try and keep it that way. If I sold it for the same price than I could get accused of price fixing... johnbetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tech Den Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Thank you peps. I have a good relationship with Graham and he is a top person. Often I will sit down with him and have a coffee with him and discuss his products in depth and if anyone knows Graham he can go real en depth with the details. I use his products, I like his products and they perform extremely well. Pretty much all the things that he manufactures is Australian Made which is a bonus with the exception of Macropore which is from OS. I am happy to help anyone where I can, I love the hobby and the great people that it attracts. I try to provide good service and it is easier to do when you enjoy what you do. If you have any questions or anything do not hesitate to contact me. Plenty more good things to come so stay tuned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tech Den Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 You can do direct deposit if you would like or if you would like to do a money order. I am undecided on credit card transactions as a lot of people seem to be wary of them and also the information trail there after. I have SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and encryption already there but do not know about the credit card side. Oh do not take Western Union either...lol Does that help the situation Col? Like to hear your feedback on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relle Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 only old people are worried about credit cards on the internet Most of US young people use visa/mastercard debit cards now so you can increase your safety by having only the amount you need on the card and it cant run into credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tech Den Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Usually when people want something they want it yesterday so all orders are process on that they are required as soon as possible. We do try to keep good stocking levels of each item to avoid not having a item or a need to back order. Orders that were received last night have already been sent. Please also do not forget your discount, simply put QLDAF in the coupon code in the payment section and it will automatically give the additional 10% discount. Thank you all of those that have purchased yesterday and previously. It is always good to hear good feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tech Den Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 What a Qldaf member knocking back a discount can not have that. Will make sure that you do not miss out... You will receive 10% more in product at least to make up for not putting in the coupon code. And of course...Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRNOS Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Haven't bought from you yet, but will be from now on, but wanted to let everyone know that super Chlor and macropore are great products, bought both a few months ago and have been very happy with them. Bought both to replace another big brands products and can say that macropore is just as good, easier to recharge though, I've had less, random fry die-offs, since using super Chlor too, and both are better priced than other brands.
