Reviews and Online Shopping Scams

Reviews and Online Shopping Scams

There has been a lot of news from the media lately of online shopping scams, with scammers pretending to be legitimate online sellers, either with a fake website or a fake ad on a genuine retailer site.

With modern technology they can copy logos, business names and ABN numbers.

The Australian Government have a Scamwatch web page which is worth reading.  It states that you should consider buying from Australian websites whenever possible , as if a problem arises, you have a much better chance of having your payment returned.

Always use a website with a padlock at the beginning of the web address, and it should start with https://xxxxxx.com.au

Our Family Company, Stormtalia Pty Ltd (ACN 078 960 326) (ABN 24 078 960 326) has been trading since 1997 with many years of retailing prior to that.  Stormtalia Pty Ltd commenced trading online in 2008, however we decided to use a registered trading name of Banksia Products in 2017 when our online selling became more serious…..we only sell online now…..no shopfronts anymore.  We are located in Narooma NSW 2546 Australia.

Banksia Products (also known as 4476.iveco) have an Ebay Store where you can view our Feedback

We have now realised that reviews are a very important feature of an e-commerce website.

We hope this information was helpful and look forward to you visiting Banksia Products again.

Leather Belts – Real Leather or Synthetic Leather ?

By News, Promotions

Leather Belts – Real Leather or Synthetic Leather ?

Do you know the difference ?

How can you tell ?

Synthetic Leather is called by many different names, such as PU Leather, Faux Leather, Leatherette and more.  The main types of synthetic leather are PU Leather (polyurethane) and PVC (poly vinyl)

The benefit of Synthetic Leather is that it is easier to clean and cheaper to produce, therefore cheaper to purchase for the buyer.

The problems are that Synthetic Leather does not last very long, not flexible and can crack, peel or separate over time.  Sometimes real leather remnants are mixed with polyurethane plastic to manufacture PU Leather.

How to tell the difference ?  PU Leather vs Real Solid Leather

  • A good indication is a low price

  • The label may say PU Leather

  • PU Leather is usually quite smooth and uniform in appearance

  • You may see where PU Leather has been glued around the edges of the belt

  • It usually has a plastic smell, which does not match the smell of Real Solid Leather

Our Real Solid Leather Belts come from Cowhide and then is Tanned to prevent decomposition and then it becomes useable to manufacture products.

As previously said, Synthetic Leather can begin to crack, peel or split after a few years, however Real Solid Leather can last 10 to 20 years or even more.  So which is more economical over time ?

Real Cowhide Solid Leather gets better with age, however the initial cost is more than Synthetic Leather, but as they say, you only get what you pay for.  Real Solid Leather is likely to have some imperfections, depending on the condition of the hide it was taken from, compared to Synthetic Leather which is manmade from artificial products.

Real Solid Leather also takes a long time to burn, however Synthetic Leather will burn instantly, but not a nice procedure to do when you are shopping for a belt.

Lastly, as said previously, ”you only get what you pay for” as Real Solid Leather belts will last many times longer than Synthetic Leather belts..

We hope this information was helpful.

Rodeo Belt Buckles, Bull Riding and a little bit of History

By News

Rodeo Belt Buckles

Rodeos have long been a popular competitor and spectator sport in Australia, but were not run on an organized basis until the 1880s. The National Agricultural Society of Victoria ran one of the earliest recorded events in 1888, when a roughriding competition was held at their annual show. Travelling tent rodeo shows increased the popularity of roughriding throughout much of Australia. However, by 1930, the Great Depression left only a few of these travelling shows on the road.  Some history of Belt Buckles.

Bushmen’s Carnivals, the Australian equivalent of American rodeos, originated in Northern New South Wales in the 1920s.
Australian rodeo continued to grow following WWII, and by September 1978 riders from the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia competed in the World Rodeo Titles there for prize money totaling $60,000. In 1982, an Australian Bushmen’s Carnival Association team competed in the North American Rodeo Commission’s championships in Denver, Colorado, finishing sixth overall.

Bull Riding is the most popular rodeo riding event and the most dangerous. A loose rope straps a man’s hand to a tonne of explosive power.  Because the cowboy never knows what the animal beneath him is going to do next, he must draw upon his sharpest mental and physical abilities when trying to conquer this twisting tornado. To keep his position and balance, a bull rider is constantly grabbing for new holds with his feet and continually pulling up on the rope.

Belt Buckles are also available in a Gift/Presentation Box
