Perhaps I missed it but what exactly did they stuff up? Has there been an official explanation for what's happened?

my order shipped from HK but not my AU Direct order (tripod).
18/05/2013 - 23:05
Fair enough. Guess the old AU warehouse wasn't sending out enough parcels. In which case there's nothing we can do to regulate or do...

They claimed they did. Have a look at http://e.dealextreme.com/albums/DX-Australia-Warehouse-Promotion/

Complaint to the ACCC. As they have a warehouse in Australia they are carrying on a business in Australia and the Australian Consumer Law...

No one will tell you their cost price. That's information you can use to negotiate with.

Disney Blurays are generally region free (except Snow White). I use http://www.regionfreemovies.com to check if a bluray is region free.

Man I used one of those for years. Had it with a bunch of extension cords and sticky tapped to the roof. Worked a treat. Then I moved and...

Big stores have overheads just like smaller ones. But the point is that sometimes price matching will be below their cost price. If large...

I used to work at Myer and the price match policy was the same then too. We'd have a chart with all the products and the cost price (which...

That's just the ACCC writing diplomatically. From the ACL - http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2013C00004/Html/Volume_3#_Toc344911950 259...

Just a heads up. Got my order yesterday (4 x stubby holders, keyring flashlight and keyring bottle opener). Total cost was $0.

Under the Australian Consumer law YOU have the right to choose whether you get a refund, replacement or repair not Hisense.

I recently bought 400 points to try and they worked. I'd say (and I haven't tried it yet) that so will 4000 points etc.

I personally wouldn't use my name for a business. On the off chance it becomes a massive success and you end up selling it you ened to give...

Report it to the ACCC. They wont do anything but it'll make you feel better. If they took money at the time with no reasonable ability to...

Well Actually it was 2 people, Harvey and Norman who started it (same Norman as the old Norman Ross stores I believe).

The slogan is what's referred to as 'puffery'. Interesting case to read on this is Leonard v Pepsico (although completely different).
10/05/2013 - 10:12
Serious Sam 3 worth it? I bought 1 a while back and it was ok for a Duke 3D styled game.
09/05/2013 - 09:22
The system is set up so it's not meant to let you pay nothing hence you need to put in your CC. Your order may or may not get cancelled.
09/05/2013 - 09:22
You're paying for guaranteed delivery. Things sometimes ship quickly but I think it just comes down to their capacity on any given day....
08/05/2013 - 22:29
Does that mean I have to neg you now? lol
08/05/2013 - 15:58
Which is what I meant. Connect to something like PennyTel and use a SIP app on your phone so you can call them on their telephone number...
08/05/2013 - 14:07
Can't use other methods like VOIP for the international calls?
08/05/2013 - 12:41
A nice case about puffery is Leonard v Pespi Co (google it) where a guy tried to use points to buy a harrier jet.
08/05/2013 - 11:40
Hopefully mine wont (all promo stuff). If they do no big deal but if I get the chance I'll just reuse it and add something like a mug that...

Have my wedding come up in Fiji. Just got stubby holders for the wedding party which say "Groom", "Best Man" etc.
