Exynos 7" tab for $88

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.

    • Same here, below is order status of my PD80HD (ordered at around 2.15pm that day) -

      5/23/2013 4:10:54 PM PrepareShipment Order is being prepared for shipment.

      I contacted DX total 4 times since I ordered it. Every time I got different DX person to LiveChat with and everyone told me same thing - your order is confirmed and will be shipped soon. Looks like they have kept their words and are going to ship mine soon. So they don't cancel order just because you contacted them through LiveChat to find out more about your order status. Fingers crossed…

  • Mine also says "prepare shipment" will keep my fingers and toes crossed :)

    • but u still neg the deal

      • -2

        I will revoke once I have the tablet in my hands :D

  • Holy smokes!

    My PD30 order has just changed to PrepareShipment :)

    For the record:

    • I ordered around 9am WST on the 15/5
    • I was an existing DX customer
    • I paid with a 28 degrees card via Paypal
    • I only had the one item in my order
    • hi kirt, could you confirm that:

      if i pay with a 28degrees card via paypal, which exchange rate will be used? paypal's or 28's?

      • you can choose.
        the wise option is to use 28 degrees' rate

      • On Paypal site:

        15 May 2013 Payment To dealextreme Completed -$80.27 USD
        15 May 2013 Charge from Credit Card Completed $80.27 USD

        On 28 Degrees site:

        15/05/2013 PAYPAL *DEALEXTREME HKG -$81.48

        …so 28 Degrees did the conversion.

        • thanks guys.

  • Anyone with 'Full Shipment' orders able to see their order on the Toll tracking system?

    • I think it can take up to 24 hours to appear on the system from past experience with Toll.

      • Thanks for the info. It's been about 48 hours for me since marked as 'Full shipment'. But no record of it on the toll tracking system yet

        • Yep it took a long time to update, but it will eventually…

  • Now my PD80-HD is listed as shipped.
    Existing customer, Paypal AMEX, didnt contact them.
    For those not use to the delays, welcome to DX.

  • My PD80-HD is shipped as well, shun the non-believers!

    Anyone getting the PD80.. They have the CyanogenMod 10 working on it…

    With a few little bugs…

    http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/65290-rom-cyanogenmod-10-for…

    • Any for the PD10? :)

  • I ordered 5 items from this AU direct page - All say AU direct and have the watermark saying "AU direct" over the picture. It has been shipped in 3 packages, but all from China! WTF? 5-7 day delivery… Hmmmm. I'm pleased it's coming but why the "ships from Perth" facade?

    • They all come to Perth from China in large shipments. Then get shipped to places in Australia via TOLL.

    Just got my new toy - the THL W8 phone and have to fly to work. Can anyone tell me if I'll have functionality out of the box without adding a micro-SD memory card? Specs say (if I recall) that it coems with just 1GB emmory.

    Should have planned ahead as I'm sure I'll need a mem upgrade one way or another.

    • 1 gb Ram, 4 gb Rom. Rom=memory

      • Yes, but is that workable 1GB standard?

      • Yay! It works with the base 1GB and first impressions are most impressive.

        Gotta be my bargain of the year!

    • Congrats, I gather you are one of the first to receive their THL W8 phone.

    • how long was the shipping time?

      • Ordered Wed 15/05/2013 2:38 AM (that time of the morning …. no wonder I got lucky)
        "Fulfilled and shipped on Monday, 20 May 2013 04:51"
        Received in Brisbane today Friday 24/5/13 around 10am (Toll Logistics).
        So the delay (such as it was) was getting it dispatched.

        • Still has not arrive in Melbourne. I've been refreshing the Toll page since yesterday. Considering phoning them up to check. My friend picked up his Nexus 4 from the depot. Hoping I could do the same.

        • usually takes 2-3 days for the tracking status to be updated.

  • Just did the live chat with one of the people on their site.
    They confirmed that my item is actually coming via Singapore Post and they gave me a different link to track it.
    It shows that it's on the way from HK.

    The 2 other items that I'm waiting on in the partial shipment will be 7-10 days before they get it back in stock apparently.

  • +2

    Got my PD30 via toll all in working order so far.

    interesting tho paid $80 but the item is valued at 12.54!

  • My items MK808B SKU 175870 and Sandisk Micro SD 32GB SKU 139290 are still not in stock.

    They told me it will be ready in 7 days…

    I feel like Hulk Smash this keyboard but can't complain much, the price is too good

    My PD80-HD is shipped :) I am glad that they have fulfilled my order . Believe or not , I think they made a loss on this deal + shipping cost , you won't find any price close to that for a Retina IPS tablet .

    • +2

      In the same boat, just checked and fully shipped also … just shows a bit of patience and things happen (for now anyway) .. jumping the gun and cancelling straight away because it wasnt shipped instantly wasnt a smart move by the looks of it

      • check this troll:

        "i must get compensation"

        That's exactly what I said in the beginning, give them the benefit of the doubt.

        … then the negs rained down upon me like golf-ball sized hail and destroyed my spirit, leaving me with nothing but an F5 button and a PD80-HD order unfulfilled.

        • you are talking about another troll :D

  • Still waiting to hear about my pd10hd.

    Purchased on a guest account, couldn't remember my login details.

    EVery time i try and check the status, I get an error 500.

    Anyone else in the same boat?

    edit:
    just got off live chat.
    apparently it's about to be shipped.
    fingers crossed.
    now to stop looking at the $200 nexus deals on at the moment. :)

  • My PD30 has been shipped, and I would of received it today if I am home! Checked the Toll site they attempted the delivery today. Thats really quick, I was quoted 20-30 days by the rep but its been shipped from HK within days!

  • My PD80HD is also marked as shipped now, and I bugged them a number of times during the week, so there. :p

  • My PD80HD marked as shipped coming though toll post however no information on toll post tracking website so far .

  • yep, just got an email that my W8 has shipped.

  • PD10HD marked as shipped with toll ref provided.

    I've ordered an $200 USD android tablet , waited for 6 weeks until I got it and it was USED and also dropped dead after 30 seconds of use.

    This movie has the whole description

    • You can always send it back for replacement. Dx offers a 12 months warranty.

      • Sending it back is not the case.
        I would expect dealextreme to offer a free expedite shipping for this case , th
        is is not a regular DOA case , they intentionally sent a used tablet which happened to be DOA.

        I this that this is the minimal compensation they should have offer in this case after I've been waiting 6 weeks for it to arrive.

        • You should post a complaint at their forum and make sure their manager knows about it. You can request them to compensate you.

        • Which forum?
          Do you have a manager email so i can talk to him?

        • i think there was one mentioned earlier in this thread [email protected] maybe?

        • talk to this mail , no help what so ever. they tell me they can't afford to pay for the expedite shipping. I feel like I'm talking to a 17 years old seller who just started to sell online 2 days ago.. it's ridiculous.

        • do you know any other way to contact them?

  • My PD80HD is also marked as shipped now, hopefully I'll get it on coming Monday :)

  • The tablets are on special for half price could be an ex-demo unit.

    Who ever received their PD80-HD tablet, do post a review here. thx!

  • MY PD10HD HAS SHIPPED YAAAAAAY!!! ^_^

    It's being shipped by Toll Global Express, I guess it should arrive early next week. :D

  • YAY my PD10HD is on it's way!

  • Ditto on mine as well - FREELANDER PD80-HD 9.7"

    Nice!

  • Wow I didn't even know there was 18 pages in this thread!
    I ordered a PD80HD when thread was around 3 pages long, then promptly forgot about it until I got an email today that it was fulfilled and shipped.

  • Another FREELANDER PD80-HD 9.7" on it's way via Toll. Got lucky. Ordered 15/5 but only paid 16/5 due to CC hiccup.

    What a load of BS. I can't believe these pr%$ks are only fulfilling late orders. All the people that got in on the deal in the first few minutes had their orders cancelled. There's no way I'm using DX again.

    • I ordered mine about 5/6am on the morning this deal came out and my order of the Eran E80 tablet has been shipped. I believe mine was shipped because I ordered a tablet which wasn't very popular, most people ordered the expensive or the really cheap ones. Ive only seen the eran tablet get mentioned once in all these comments. Also I didn't talk to customer service, seemed like a one way ticket to getting your orders cancled.

      The orders cancled seem to me like all the really popular items.

  • It's been 10 days and nothing happened. contacted them and I was told I have to wait 'maybe' another week. Will never buy stuff from dx.com again…why they even put stuff on sale if there was no stock? crap customer service and crap management.

    Just got my W8! Fired it up this morning and its all good.

    Really isnt a bad phone (looking past the "Samsung clone").

    Its very quick for what it is, stock rom (little customisations) and no bloatness of the TouchWiz UI.

    All I can say is.. wow.. Its pretty good for $168.. but would have been awesome if I got it for $118.. :(

    Oh well..

    • Good to know :) Mine is on its way.
