UPDATE 4/4: I contacted PFM Corp and they have kindly bumped up my item to go out on tomorrow's run, which I am very thankful for. I asked Sony to contact them and asked this and they refused. Just further highlighting how bad Sony's post-sales support is.
Short rant warning.
I purchased the Sony A80J when the deal was listed on OzBargain for $1345. I saved $150 on the listed price at JB Hifi. The cost of doing this is that I am having to wait 3.5 weeks to have it delivered! 3.5 weeks!! If it was covid and we still had massive delays across the courier network, I would understand, but we don't and I have had multiple other large items ordered and delivered in the time I've been waiting for the TV. I could buy a stand up desk today and have it delivered by the end of the week. And of course, others who purchased during the sale have got theirs and others have not.
There was a screw up with consigning the item, Sony of course blame the couriers, the couriers blame Sony. It is now with PFM Corp sitting in their depot (has done since 30/3) and is not being delivered until 11/4, and this is after Sony told me that had organised an expedited delivery. What bs. I've called Sony multiple times and just get lame standard answers, every time starting with "i can understand what you're feeling…" and then some excuse that there's nothing they can do. They can choose a decent courier is what they can do!
I won't be ordering through their eBay store again, I guess there is something to be said for walking into a store and taking the thing you bought home with you in that moment, and I only have myself to blame for that, but lesson learned I guess.
