UPDATED (Full 800 SKU Included See Update 2) Deal Extreme - 50% off Hundreds of Items!

38215
AUDirect0515

Deal Extreme offering 50% off a huge selection of items!!

There's Quad Core Tablets (under $100)
http://dx.com/p/freelander-pd30-quad-core-8-ips-capacitive-s…

Exynos 7" tab for $88
http://dx.com/p/freelander-pd10hd-7-ips-exynos4412-quad-core…

THL W8 Quad Core phone ($116)
http://dx.com/p/thl-w8-android-4-1-quad-core-bar-phone-w-5-0…

Update:

http://dx.com/mayhalfprice?utm_source=dx&utm_medium=cdn&utm_…

According to this, they will be rotating the deals throughout the day (800 SKUs with total quantity of 40,000) to cover a bunch of other products too. Check back whenever you can to see if theres anything new!

Update 2:

http://dx.com/mayhalfprice/Default/ShoppingList

They have pushed out another list of more items! It does verify the theory that the initial page was for DX AU deliveries whilst this is the International 50% off section. Please be aware that there will be longer delivery times for this since it needs to be shipped directly from China as opposed to the DX AU (which apparently has warehouse in Perth).

Update 3:
Offer is pretty much officially "Ozbargained" with the only remaining stock to be either very specialist products (Spare battery for product x), Seasonal products (Christmas), or stuff that not many people want. The only thing I am hoping for is that they can fulfill all orders so everyone is happy.

DX has subtly stated however, (Broken English) "If the customers who participate in this activity are more than expected which results in lack of product supply, we have to process refund for the oversold items, please kindly understand." which may account for some people's Paypals reported refunded against.

Update 4:

Have to apologise in advance to anyone who doesnt get the stock for this deal. Despite being the OP and putting the order through before others, I have now received a cancellation against my two orders (W8 and PD10). It is seemingly like a lottery to get stock. Very very disappointed. :(

Update 5:

After a disappointing weekend, DX has now come back to affected customers with a voucher that's worth 15% of the original total order. So, if your order was $200, then they will give you back $30 worth as a rebate in compensation to be used in DX. Apparently the stock is still available - but not it has changed to a different SKU but they are offering 15% off the original price. This is pretty beneficial if your original order was expensive (and hence you can get back a higher rebate value) - but typically most would only have done a $200 order with $30 rebated.

The new link is here: http://dx.com/l/au-direct/2013-02/special-items.aspx

As you can see, the deal is nowhere near as good as before. However, it is up to you as an individual to see if it is still good value enough to continue making the purchases.

    Well after being told it would be sent in 2-3 days my order was updated to out of stock. I have cancelled my order and got a full refund never dealing with them ever again.

  • anything wrong with these 2 that appear to be instock now?
    Freelander PD80S 9.7' Quad Core Tablet PC
    $115.31

    Erani E80 8.0' Quad Core Tablet PC
    $60.27

    I assume it is just the 1024x768 that is the issue with the pd80s?

    • +1

      I think the main issue is that they aren't $115 any more :p

      • Oh so the still have the page up with the special and the code but the code doesnt work. Nice job DX.

        • i think they are getting more stocks from suppliers to fill the rest of the orders so instead of order a few, they presale them first and order them at the same time. ps. Just my assumption.

    • That isn't the same model. The PD80-HD has a 'Retina' screen, whereas the PD80S has the 1024x768 :)

    This reminds me of people who stay in a really bad relationship without pulling the plug until its too late. I keep telling you guys just cancel your orders, you're wasting your time for a shitty product!

    • +2

      You are right, but I will feel relaly bad if I cancelled and the next day they started shipping. My feeling is they are waiting for delivery from their suppliers. Why else have they not cancelled me out yet ?

    • +2

      Not 100% true. Quiet a few people has had their order confirmed and shipped.

  • I ordered the Ditter TV stick on the 14/05. Order was not cancelled. A few days ago in the chat I was told it will be sent within a few days.
    No it shows as no stock "Backordered" on my status.

    According chat will be sent in about a week time.

    Let's see if this happens…

    • Didn't someone in here get one of those marked as shipped?

      • Yes. Mine was shipped on the 24th

    • You'll get your order, it's just a matter of being patient now. They oversold products and are probably trying to get them in as fast as they can :)

      • +3

        You're ridiculous. Things clearly don't match up.

        "They oversold products and are probably trying to get them in as fast as they can"

        Look at the website for Ditter TV sticks. They're saying its IN STOCK.
        http://dx.com/p/ditter-v12-android-4-1-mini-pc-google-tv-sti…

        Do you just say stuff for the hell of it?

        • Sorry, where does it say 'In Stock' ANYWHERE on that product page?

          I contacted live support (as you should do before purchasing any product from a website, especially overseas) and asked the question. Don't assume anything when purchasing online :)

          Please wait for a site operator to respond.

          You are now chatting with 'Marina'

          Marina: we r waiting for the restock :)
          Kugz: Oh ok, so why does it still say you can buy it? :S
          Marina: we can buy
          Marina: but have to wait for the restock
          Kugz: Ok ty, I will consider it :)

          So yes there is a fault within their product information page, but you were wrong. Do you argue without checking your facts?

        • +4

          So they sell products that aren't in stock? Thanks for proving my point.

          And to answer your ridiculous technicality, here is a product that isn't in stock saying "SOLD OUT". A logical person would assume the other products are IN STOCK.

    I think the people getting with Order Confirmed are getting the usual DX treatment, which is, having to play the waiting game whilst DX takes their sweet time shipping it out. It's not the best way to keep customers, but it's not unusual for them either, so don't worry too much. Made some orders with them many years ago, and it took, up to, 1-2 months…

    It's probably best to cancel your order if you need it ASAP, but if you can wait a week or so more, it might be worth it to just hang in there. I'm sure they're having to order some more items in, so that they don't have to face another storm of complaints from canceling a bunch of more orders.

    I guess I can compliment DX for at least compensating everyone, and saying they made a stuff up, but I'm still not a fan of their slow, slow shipping. I guess if an item I'm looking for is really cheap, and I don't need it urgently, it might be okay. Otherwise, might be best to turn elsewhere.

  • Just got an email from DX saying my order of the Eran E80 8.0" tablet has now been shipped. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones

    • +1

      you may not be one of the lucky ones, but you are one of the patient :)

      btw, my status is updated:

      5/22/2013 4:13:16 PM BackOrder One or more of your items are temporarily out of stock.
      5/22/2013 4:13:08 PM PrepareShipment Order is being prepared for shipment.

    • +1

      I am also advised the same item shipped. It is a good price, and even though there is a lot of angst in this thread I'll be pleased when it arrives.
      If they offer another equally attractive price I will order again.
      It shouldn't be any surprise to OzB users that sometimes top service is the element that suffers for cheap prices.
      They will treat you quite well down at the Apple store if you want to buy an iPad mini, but then the price isn't $60 either.

      • Agreed, fantastic price for a first tablet. Couldn't care less if they took a month to ship, the deal was worth it.

  • +1

    I received an email this morning. My THL W8 is on the way !

    Must admit, the idea of calling up to cancel the order, out of fear that delivery might take some time (as some people seem to have done) seemed a bit crazy to me…

  • My PDHD80 is now on back order.

    5/22/2013 4:13:16 PM BackOrder One or more of your items are temporarily out of stock.

    exactly the same time as the person above.

    • its what i want to say :D
      exactly same for the same tablet.

      • Same, mine just changed back to prepare shipment… soo hopefully it'll ship soon :)

  • I am glad any future deals by DX have been BANNED on this site by the mods. What a hassle.

  • After my orders changed to backorder overnight I cancelled them just now. What a joke.

  • +6

    Looks to me they would love for people to cancel their orders so they don't have to offer gift vouchers or sell the items at a loss.

    I suggest if you can wait then do so till they eventually ship your item(s). Only warning to be aware that PayPal cases can be opened only up to 45 days from the date of the sale otherwise you are the mercy of DX to even do a refund.

    As for Banning DX as some suggested, I think Ozbargaineers are only a fraction of their incoming orders and would definitely not leave a big dent in their profits. Also, wouldn't work because we'll always be suckers for a good cheap deal.

    • I agree with your observation, however, there are many other sites that have popped up in the last few years and are cheaper on certain items than DX.
      Back in the days there was only DX and the competition is very healthy now and the sticky on OZB will go along way in reducing their sales and whatever that percentage might be.

    • Just an update on my THL W8 order, the tracking is now working, took nearly 36 hours to update…

      23 May 13 04:30 : Shenzhen (guangdong) - CHINA :In Transit to Destination
      22 May 13 22:00 : Shenzhen (guangdong) - CHINA : Collection

      Pretty quick considering the next steps shown are:

      • Arrived at Destination
      • Out For Delivery
      • Delivered
      • Jealous man.. Really isnt fair that my original order got cancelled.. sigh..

        • Yea I know how you feel, but the only explanation I can conjure from all of this is that most people ordered a combination of things, thereby not prioritizing your AU Direct order, and/or paying via CC is a BIG no no with these guys(Chinese Warehouses), as not only does verification take time but payments are never instant, so they have to wait till its cleared. Sadly, I think that's where you and many others lost time in the processing of payments and multiple orders…, I can't think of or logically explain/justify anything else… lol

        • Normally ERP systems (ie. what drives DX) should take the orders on a FIFO basis (First In, First Out). I am quite interested to learn what actually happened and how their IT architecture works.. Although I dont think we will ever really learn "the truth" of it all outside of random comments and speculations on all our behalf.
          Its only that you have been very lucky not to have been cancelled and that your order is in the mail (whilst poor buggers like me have to spend another 50 bucks more to get the W8). Its just the way the cookie crumbles..

        • Normally ERP systems (ie. what drives DX) should take the orders on a FIFO basis (First In, First Out).

          True, what about their Payment Gateways ?, as many people have stated verification took time and failed even, DX integrates eGate Payment Technologies, which processes the verification and payment confirmations of CC payments. Could that be another issue ?

        PS. Toll notification email subscription don't work. I have not receive any email from them so far.

        • Chances are slim as Customs may delay it by a day, despite not being mentioned in the processing steps…

          Same here no Toll notification at all !

  • You guys are lucky.

    I didn't cnacel my order. I don't mind to wait but DX cancelled it!

      • Mine also shipped, I just checked my phone and I thought I was having a dream. Very excited thanks OP for a great bargin.

  • Just got an e-mail about the PD80HD being shipped by Toll Express. Apologies to the people who ordered before me (or us) and didn't get it. Doesn't seem fair, not sure how DX decided which orders to cancel and which to not.

    Hopefully the tablet is up to scratch and I don't wish that I'd gotten a refund instead !

    • no need to apologise at all.

    • That's what I was wondering, that how did they decide who to issue a refund to and how to tell to wait? Did any of you guys who got your PD80-HDs shipped contact DX at any point? Or was your order status marked as cancelled at any point?

      • i contacted them very recently.

      • nope. I kept my trap shut so as to not draw unwarranted attention to my order.

        for that, I how have my PD80-HD on its way to me :)

      • I contacted them a couple of days ago when a few people on here had their PD80-HD orders changed to 'backorder', and mine was still sitting on "Payment verified. Order is being processed".

        I have no idea why mine wasn't cancelled. I think most of the people that had theirs cancelled contacted them on the first couple of days, and maybe their staff got confused as to what the customer wanted i.e. thought that the customer would rather have it cancelled than wait for new stock, or maybe DX had initially decided to cancel all orders (people that contacted them were first in line), but then changed their mind after they saw the backlash? :shrug:
