How much can I save?

Electrical and Gas Products

I would like to thank ShopRite for helping my family to achieve a 4 year plan to become a carbon neutral home. We have now managed to replace all our old energy intensive appliances with new high end energy saving appliances including: 5 star deep freeze, home entertainment system, LCD TV - at the ShopRite/Retravision VIP Night, and a new 4.5 star water efficiency dishwasher, airconditioning system, solar hot water system and window tinting.
 
We have also used a range of trades and services listed on the ShopRite website to help us get the best price available and for the installation of some appliances, all of whom have been polite and professional and what is noteworthy is that they have actually cleaned up after themselves.
 
Recently as part of our 4 year plan to achieve a carbon neutral lifestyle we utilised the services of Solargain (found in the ShopRite Savings Directory). We had contacted several other companies who had given us great offers and promises, though the quality these other companies had on offer did not in our opinion offer us the long term security of the quality we wanted.
 
What is best to note is that when we told Solargain we were ShopRite Members, they gave us a 10% discount this helped us obtain one more solar panel. Yes, one panel in the saving from our ShopRite discount will help us to achieve a little more saving on our electricity bills.
 
I have been a Union Member for over 30 years and after recently working out the savings $$$ my family and I have made by using ShopRite, I estimate we have recovered more than 20 years in Union dues.

Therefore, I encourage all members of unions who are affiliated with ShopRite to utilise the services provided by them to get the best deal possible and put the savings you make towards a new holiday or better still get a new Solargain Solar PV and save on your future electricity bills.

This is my BEST savings story; although I do have a few from using your service - which I think must be the BEST part about being a member of a union. I was searching for a Sony LCD TV and the RRP was $3,240. I rang around to a number of popular retailers and got the price down to $2,999 - which I thought was rather good. Then I rang this information through to ShopRite and the lovely lady on the phone asked if I wanted a price that day, I said YES, she put me through and I was given a price of $2,740 (AMAZING), they also told me I could get $150 CASH BACK through the Sony website. All up a saving of $409 - BRILLIANT.

Thanks guys and keep up the good work.”

“We needed a washing machine and the Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart 7kg was the washer we wanted, I shopped around and the best price I got was $910 and $60 delivery fee to Forrestfield, my husband said buy it, that's a good price, but I said no, I will ring ShopRite and see if they can beat it...guess what? I got my machine for $860 and delivery was $35...that's a bargain in my book....and my husband took me out for dinner with the money we saved.”

“Finally managed to secure a home loan and bought my first home. I needed a washing machine and an Upside-down Fridge (is this what they’re called?!) AND it had to fit into an existing cavity in the renovated kitchen!

ShopRite happened to have a washing machine offer and then found the fridge I wanted. The right brand, the right size AND the right price. The two items were delivered to ‘my place’ at a time of my choosing so not too much hassle with work, the washing machine installed and the old fridge carted away. I saved at least $800.00 for both items…and most people with a mortgage in the current economic climate will agree that’s a welcome saving!

So when my friend told me she needed a new washing machine and dishwasher, I made sure I forwarded ShopRite’s newsletter when I received it.”

“ShopRite got me a deal of a lifetime on an upright Ilve stove, splashback, rangehood, with a tepanyaki plate. Unfortunately I had a financial hiccup and couldn't purchase when the products were ready. ShopRite had got me such a good bargain that, twelve months later when I purchased my kitchen appliances those prices were totally impossible to match. I ended up spending more and getting cheaper models (of Ilve) all round and definitely not with a tepanyaki plate thrown in. ShopRite still got me a bargain but it goes to show if you get a bargain snap it up because it can't be repeated.

Thanks ShopRite you have saved me thousands over the years.”

“Just a quick note to say a big thank you to Daniel and ShopRite.  We decided we were in need of a new oven - did our homework, knew exactly what we wanted and what we thought was a reasonable price - only draw back was living in the country. This meant we would either have to buy locally from the one and only retailer in town at 'country prices', make a trip to Perth to pick up the oven ourselves or arrange for it to be delivered from Perth. Just on the off chance that they might be able to help we contacted ShopRite - help they certainly did - our new oven arrived this morning only a week after that first contact with Daniel, we saved $88.00 (even with the cost of delivery to our door) on what we could have bought for locally and it was all done over the phone with Daniel following up all the way - thank you again.  We will certainly be using ShopRite again and mentioning it to other members.”

“I have used ShopRite on many occasions. One of the best savings we made through their source for the best price was for our Fisher & Paykel Fridge. We made a saving of Approximately $524 off the RRP. We were most content with that.”

IEUWA Member.

“I bought a dishwasher through ShopRite in April. I did a bit of calling around and ‘hard bargaining’ first and then called ShopRite and they beat the best price I could get by almost $200. From now on, I’m going to save time and money by letting ShopRite do the bargaining for me.”

“Please pass on to Tone my appreciation for the time and effort he put in to ordering my laptop from the supplier on Thursday last week. It is excellent value and I am very pleased with the short time it took to place the order to allow me to collect the laptop and accessories on Friday.”

“I was aware of the ShopRite service for some time before I tried it. I'd seen the Sony TV I wanted in 3 major retailers and 2 had it on super special as it was a run out model. I thought that ShopRite probably would not be too much cheaper than the 2 specials I had seen.

I was amazed when I got the result the next day the quote was ‘delivered to my door' and the ShopRite price was over $500 cheaper than the best super special run out price I had found and less than half the original retail price. The TV was delivered the following day and the delivery guy even helped me get it out of the box and onto our TV cabinet! 

I've since bought a laptop and a microwave through ShopRite, getting exactly what I wanted at a significantly reduced price. I'm committed to using ShopRite for any major purchase, you can't lose! I've also recommended ShopRite to other CPSU members at work. From my experience, the savings have more than paid for my CPSU membership!”

“Just thought I'll give you some feed back re: the excellent service that I have been provided with by ShopRite every time I had a price query and the considerable savings I have gained. I would like to convey my appreciation and thanks to all the ShopRite staff.  Keep up the excellent service.
Thumbs up all around!!!!!!!!”

“My wife and I are regular users of ShopRite and our most recent purchase was a refrigerator. The friendly service from both ShopRite and the supplier is a credit to all concerned. The price was excellent and the help provided by the delivery driver was second to none.

We would like to offer our thanks to ShopRite and the supplier for all their assistance and we will continue to use ShopRite in the future.”

“About 18 months ago, I upgraded our old skinny TV with a new 81cm wide screen LCD TV, as well as a new Set Top Box and DVD recorder and player. I was only going to buy a DVD player, but my daughter convinced me to get the recorder as well. After getting the retail price, the total ShopRite price on these 3 items was $800.00 cheaper, which meant that I got my DVD recorder for virtually nothing.

I have purchased other electrical items since with similar savings. This is a great service for union members. Another reason to be in a union.”

ASU Member.

“Just a note of thanks for your efforts to obtain such fantastic prices (which included delivery) for the washing machine and dryer purchased recently for us by our schools P&C Association. Using ShopRite saved me so much time obtaining quotes. The process was much faster and easier and the supplier was also extremely co-operative.

I will always recommend a phone call to ShopRite first, to my friends and associates.”

“I am writing to let you know how happy I have been with your service. I recently purchased a clothes dryer from Rick Hart in O'Connor. Both your employees and the staff at Rick Hart were excellent. They were very friendly and helpful and their service was very prompt.
 
I have also purchased other items from you before and each time I have been extremely pleased with the outcome.”

“Excellent service for union members. What can I say I am blown away at the deal Susan organised for me with the experts at West Coast Hi Fi. I thought I'd obtained an excellent deal and off came another 10% and free delivery. Keep up the good work.”

AWU Member. 

“Thank you very much for your assistance. I purchased the washing machine from Rick Hart this afternoon and was also surprised to learn that delivery and installation was included in the quoted price. This was the first time I have used ShopRite, and was very pleasantly surprised with the service and the price.

Thank you once again, and I can guarantee that I will be back.”

Motor Vehicles

"Please accept this sincere "Thank you" for the assistance of ShopRite with our recent purchase of a motor vehicle. I phoned ShopRite on Thursday morning and within an hour I received a phone call from Ken Houston (Motor Vehicle Consultant). We discussed the requirements of a vehicle for my husband and myself.  Ken was extremely helpful, and very open and honest with his opinions and thoughts; for which I was very grateful.  (As a result of my conversation with him we avoided a very bad possible purchase decision.)

By 12.30 pm of the same day, we met Ken at a Car Sales Yard; as arranged by phone once he had located a vehicle which could be of interest to us.  We were very impressed with this vehicle.  It met our needs and requirements; and as an added bonus, was very smart in appearance.  We purchased the vehicle and picked it up the following day.  Overall; very quick, easy and hassle free.

We are very happy with the result of this venture and impressed with the assistance of those involved. We were treated with respect and courtesy which is a rare commodity in recent times.

Now we are making further enquiries with ShopRite regarding household products and we will continue to do so in the not too distant future.

Thanks to ShopRite and the MS Society for making these services available to us.”

"This is just a quick note to thank you for your assistance, in particular Tony Hallinan, during a recent car purchase. On the morning of 31st December 2007 I rang John Hughes regarding purchasing a used car for my daughter Brooke. I was advised the price and immediately rang ShopRite to see whether I could get a better price. I am not sure who I spoke to but was told that Tony Hallinan would ring me. I was very impressed that Tony rang back within a very short time. I told him where I was at with the vehicle and he advised me that he would ring me after speaking with a representative at John Hughes. He rang back and advised that he had done a deal and would bring the car out to our house for a test run. At no time did Tony make us feel that we were under pressure. He made both of us feel very comfortable and at no time did we feel that we were obligated to purchase the vehicle. We ended up buying the car and Brooke was extremely happy with her purchase and the money she saved through ShopRite. Would you please pass on our thanks to Tony for providing an excellent service?"

“On behalf of my son, I would just like to express my thanks to Tony for finding him a car. The car is just what my son wanted and he has been really happy with it. He went down to Busselton last week and the car performed really well. I just gave Tony some details about what he wanted and within a matter of days he came up with a car that matched his requirements. We looked at about 15 car yards to do a comparison and the price Tony got for my son was the best. Tony kept good contact with my son to let him know what was happening during the purchase. Please pass on our many thanks to him.”

“I would like to say how happy I was with the service and fantastic price I received when I used ShopRite to purchase my new Toyota RAV 4. I consider myself to be a very careful shopper who likes getting the best price and had spent many an hour over a period of a few weeks visiting dealerships and negotiating what I thought to be the best price possible for my new car when a friend suggested I give ShopRite a call and see if they could offer me a better price. Within 2 hours I had been contacted by Tony and given a drive away price $1200 cheaper than the best price I had been able to negotiate with the dealerships! Everything after that was so simple to arrange over the phone or by fax and the very next week I picked up my brand new car. I couldn't be happier with the service or the price I received by using ShopRite and have been recommending them to everyone ever since.”

"We recently purchased a new Mazda 3 through Ken at ShopRite. Going through Ken ensured we did not spend precious hours hunting car yards and negotiating prices.

The car was delivered within a week despite being on a boat at Freo when ordered. Being shift workers Ken always ensured he called at our waking hours.

We are delighted with the car and the service of ShopRite. This was the first time we had used ShopRite but we will be using it for all future purchases.

We have passed the word amongst fellow workers to ensure they get the best deals as we did. Many thanks Ken - will see you in a couple of years."

Personal Loans

“I would like to express how impressed I am with Fiona from Elite Brokerage Services. I needed a car loan but had trouble getting one as I am only a casual worker. Fiona's service was prompt, professional and hassle free, she was always in constant contact and went out of her way to make sure I had my new car by the weekend. I am very happy with my new car and it wouldn’t have been possible without Fiona's help.”

“Just wanted to let you know what a fantastic experience I had when purchasing from Jet Cycles and Compleat Angler.  Not only was the price for the Giant Half Wheeler bike (it is basically half a child size bike which attaches to an adult bike), but the service from Will Podmore was great. I understand he hasn’t been with ShopRite for long, so in my opinion he is definitely a great addition. No other bike shop could come close to the price Will gave me, and I saved about $100!! So we have a very happy shopper and a very happy 4 year old who can ride with his Dad!”

“I saved over $1000 on the installation of an alarm system for my house. SMS Security has been really helpful and their customer service before and after installation has been great.  I now feel that my home is safe from intrusions.”

“My best discount was with Champion Settlement Agents. I saved about four to five hundred dollars!  Can't remember exactly how much it was, but it was a huge amount! Nearly everything I have bought for my new house I have bought through ShopRite. You have been fantastic.”

ANF Member.

“Thank you very much. I have now bought the computer from Tang Computers. You saved me $500! 
I will certainly be using ShopRite in future, especially when I trade in my wife's car.”

Movie Tickets

“Have just read the July issue of E-News and it couldn’t have come at a more perfectly scheduled time. My staff and I had only just discussed a 'feel good day' for the site and decided that it would be a great idea to head to the Movies across the road from work to see “Mama Mia” on its release.

Just as we were pondering the outing, up popped the ShopRite July E-News with one of the headings reading 30% discount on movie tickets almost at the top of the first page.  I phoned ShopRite immediately to be advised that I could book as many tickets as I needed at the discounted price of $10.90 each.  I secured the 14 discounted movie tickets and saved the site $64.40 in total.

Thanks to ShopRite we all now get a light lunch with the money saved to top off the day.

Another great aspect of the purchase is we are also in the running to win a Portable MP3 Player simply for purchasing discounted movie tickets.  Way to go!”
