Need to know
- Over the past two years, CHOICE has conducted several tests of products purchased from discount online marketplaces and found many safety failures
- Unsafe goods are pouring in from overseas platforms, despite breaching mandatory Australian safety standards in many cases
- In our second designated complaint to the ACCC, we’re calling for a general safety provision that stops unsafe products from being sold in the first place
Not really.
large Australian company buys original items from a trusted manufacturer, they cost more but are safe
independent reseller buys cheap copies of the same items, sells for 75% the cost of original items, but the copies are crap and unsafe
the people who are tipping off Choice and the retailers and the government about unsafe copies are the manufacturers of the original items
I buy from China a lot , you have to buy from trusted manufacturers and sellers
