Premium Toffee Cases Now Available


We're pleased to announce you can now purchase the Australian-made, premium technology casings from Toffee at Hot. We list a wide collection of their fantastic leather sleeves, pockets, totes, briefs and cases. Toffee, according to their own website, "fuses fashion and function to create unique leather notebook sleeves and bags for your digital lifestyle."


Toffee Black iPhone 3G CaseBlack leather iPhone 3G Case $44.95


Toffee Red Laptop Brief CaseRed leather 15" Laptop Case
- Suits Mac and PC. $129.95


Here are some tips to get the most out of your Toffee case:
  • Avoid storing your toffee in plastic or other non-breathable covers, as this will cause the leather to become dry.
  • Keep your toffee dry and protect it from direct sunlight, or very humid and dry environments.
  • Keep your toffee away from abrasive surfaces. And avoid scratching the leather, as scratch marks don't go away.
  • To clean your toffee, wipe it with a soft and dry cloth. Never use soap or solvent.

Even better news is that thanks to Hot.com.au's low-cost retail model we're offering all Toffee cases below recommended retail prices. Typically, you'll save $10-25 on technology cases that outlast technology changes.

Which Printer - Laser, Inkjet or Solid wax?

We've added a new category page on Hot about Printers - and we've been trying to answer the most common question we receive "which type of printer should I buy?". The answer, as all good answers do, varies - although we've tried to summarise our suggestions as much as possible and steer you away from high costs, wherever possible. Have a look at our new Printers Guide and feel free to tell us about any improvements we could make.

When buying a printer, remember that the cheapest colour printer to buy will almost never be the cheapest to run!

Getting Hotter?


We've only been open a short while - but we've been collecting your feedback and trying to make Hot simpler to use and better to look at. You may have noticed we've dropped the size of our top bar to reduce scrolling and added more whitespace to make it easier to find the information you're after. Feel free to contact us with any further improvements you think we could make to make your shopping experience even easier.

Competitive Technology Shopping Engine with Supply Guarantee

October 1st, 2009 - Australian Interactive Multimedia Pty. Ltd. (AIM) has today launched hot.com.au, a new website giving Australian technology consumers increased control and confidence when purchasing online. The unique shopping engine allows users to choose between leading wholesalers and hot.com.au's own warehouse in a straight-forward manner. The new site demystifies claims like "in-stock" and "in-store" by being up front about stock levels and locations.

The Australian technology market is based mainly on stock supplied from a handful of distributors whose items are sold through countless websites. Many websites claim to have thousands of items 'in-stock' – the reality is many items are held by distributors and sold by competing websites using the same database simultaneously. This situation allows multiple sales of the same physical items (overselling), leaving many consumers disappointed and fighting for their money back.


Compounding the problem, many online retailers are reluctant to refund people's money – often making customers wait 30 days or longer for a refund, if at all. "Too many times we've heard of customers being charged for goods that a retailer could not supply even though they said they had it 'in-stock'," says Steven Brown, CEO of AIM, "shopping comparison engines often list items months out of date, no wonder people are disappointed. Nothing on hot.com.au is older than 2 days."


hot.com.au supplies over 50,000 products Australia-wide from top technology wholesalers as well as its own warehouse. Stock levels, update time and actual stock location information is always provided. Therefore, customers can select products based on price, stock availability and location to match their own priorities.


Unless a company actually has physical stock they cannot give a 100% guarantee they can supply. When a client sees an item on hot.com.au they can have confidence in supply because hot.com.au offers an apology and $50 cash if they don’t live up to their claims, by failing to supply paid "in-stock" purchases within the agreed timeframe.


Demystifying misleading claims such as 'thousands of items in-store', 'in-stock' etc., hot.com.au is giving the consumer more confidence and control of their shopping experience by telling the truth about stock and offering a $50 supply promise.


ENDS


hot.com.au is a technology shopping engine with over 50,000 items available, it is a subsidiary of Australian Interactive Multimedia Pty. Ltd. (AIM), a 100% Australian-owned business established in 1984.
