I ordered a heater from Kmart on May 30, and someone went and lost it. Kmart sent me an email the same day that theyâd sent it, but the tracking never updated and when I contacted couriers please they said theyâd never received it. When I checked on the Kmart page their tracking had changed from âfully shippedâ to âweâre trying to find items for your orderâ. I contacted Kmart and they just refunded me stating it had been lost in transit.
Booooo

Maybe look into getting yourself a little bar fridge? 2nd hand on marketplace you could get one for maybe 70 bucks delivered?
Save a lot of headaches.

Next payday I reckon I will. I found a small fridge + freezer that I think should fit in my cupboard for 60 bucks. 3.5 energy efficiency, so I figured if it fits itâd be a good investment for when I move out too. But I needed a tape measure to confirm it would fit which I forgot to buy

You could try my emergency measuring method - find a sheet of A4 paper, measure how many lengths of paper the cupboard is, then Google the size of the paper and multiply it by the number of lenghts. You can fold the sheet into 1/4s or 1/8ths etc. to get a more accurate measurement.

No need for any emergency measurements (thatâs a good idea though). I canât do very much for a couple of weeks anyways

Remember to leave a 5 cm gap around the fridge sides AND TOP to ensure that the heat exchange element gets enough air circulation to work properly. 10 cm is even better. Cutting a generous hole in the base of the cabinet and fitting a small fan to blow air through the hole will help the fridge work better too. Otherwise youâll spend a lot of time defrosting the fridge and a lot of energy running it. Ikea has paper tape measures for free that are good for a limited number of uses, and you can write on them with a biro - eg width measurement and height measurement of cupboard.

Thanks TW. I meant wardrobe, not cupboard (I basically call everything a cupboard). Unfortunately itâs built into the walls so cutting anything is off the table, but Iâll remember to keep it back from the wall.

If you can cope with an estimate instead of precise dimensions, you can use your phone camera to measure distances. Itâs built into iOS, and there are apps for Android.
I wouldnât trust it to the millimeter, but itâs ok as a rough estimate to within a couple of centimeters.

gumtree and facebook freebies have a lot of fridges.

Gotta pay for transport though and our guy is too young to have a licence.
