Great extra Santa present.. For ages 0-5
Oh, come on :)
Kids love it. It's quite well done, too.
What else are you expecting on ABC 4 Kids? That is called channel for kids for a reason :)
Bought as a stocking stuffer if they arrive in time. My daughter is clearly giggle and hoot mad ;)
Great post, OP, thanks!
Cheers
Hoooooooooot, hooooooot.
Giggletastic deal
Couldn't say no to this one :) thanks!!
If ordered before the 14th of December, this product should arrive by Christmas unless it is going to regional Australia.
That makes it look like a post-Christmas sale.
https://shop.abc.net.au/products/g-and-h-giggle-icious-box-b… $29.99 Through the ABC and quick googling has shown a price range of $20-30 - Massive discount. Has anyone had any experience with QBD? https://www.qbd.com.au/locations/ shows they have a pretty decent footprint over Australia. Hopefully the deal goes ahead and isn't a price error. Thanks OP!
UPDATE Price error, 99.99% of orders cancelled. Get your SH!T sorted QBD - this was a massive fail.
Doh - just ordered this a couple of months ago for $20. Extremely good deal and the little one loves it… now to ensuring that the songs don't stick in my head when I am working.
Kids love Giggle and Hoot - went to the ABC Day at Parramatta earlier this year and they were swamped. I don't know how they do it… even moreso I have no idea how The Wiggles do it - there's so many similar acts but kids just love the Wiggles.
I dont know what is it exactly, I just ordered one because my kid loves their shows.
Thanks OP. My 7 months old son has been hoot on Jimmy Giggle from age 5 months :-)
Thanks OP! Ordered one for my LO.
so what do you actually get?
Guess you not one who reads the description?
"full sized board books…
GIGGLEMOBILE
BIRD BATH BOOGIE and;
SWEET DREAMS"
So what does it mean? are they books? are they boards? hardcover? black and white or colour? it can be anything that is book-related…
Good stuff, hope it arrives before Xmas!
Thanks guys,
The little one will love this !
Made sure I got one for our 2… And I'll ask the Mrs in the morning if we want/need any for others! Thanks OP!
Hi All,
Due to high demand we have unfortunately run out of stock, and we will have to cancel several orders.
We apologise for the obvious inconvenience. From time to time QBD posts items here, however when we do, we always have surplus stock and monitor the orders, then taking the item down when our stock has been exhausted. We appreciate the support from this forum when posting items that we sell, but sadly this will be a disappointment to many of you.
As zzymurgy noted from our website, due to the time of the year, most orders wouldn't be delivered in time if they were for Christmas gifts.
To further clarify, this item is not a one off special, our website and retail outlets consistently have an extensive range of items marked down well below recommended retail price. Under each search category, you can select 'clearance sale' to browse all discounted products under that category.
Again, we apologise for the inconvenience.
Regards,
QBD The Bookshop
Is there a chance that you'll supply more of the orders where ony the 1 set has been purchased, as opposed to orders containing multiples of the same thing?
Edit: Ps. Thanks for keeping us informed of the situation in a timely manner. It's a sure way to keep our business in future!
Have you already notified the people who have had their orders cancelled?
Just got my refund email :( oh well
Me too
I got the refund email. I find it surprising how many online businesses don't manage their inventory in real time.
@Woody:
Yeah update your website so sales can be subtracted from inventory totals! I ordered this pretty early from when the deal was posted, so the cancellation of 'several orders' must have meant to say several hundred orders.
Yep and the award for amateur company of the year goes to … QBD. Stock levels are not something new. There's nothing I enjoy more than handing over my details so that you can cancel the order. Customer service tip: The solution should have been - get more stock so you don't anger new customers. My order was placed also soon after this was posted, I also wonder if anyone actually gets this.
@hellrazorone:
Looks like nobody got their order except people who went in-store to purchase. It sucks giving them my contact details for nothing, because I will never shop there again!
if (bookSold==true) // this means "if the book got sold"
{
stock--; // this means you have one less in stock
}
It's not hard, so why do so many online shops struggle?
Damn.. Sorry guys who missed out. Hopefully I wont get an email.
Also only 3 votes off 100.. Couldn't you have waited till I got my ton :)
Technically this deal could still be valid… depending on in-store stock levels!
There you go… 100 + votes
How many did you have? I ordered after the deal posted and my order got cancelled. I doubt it's out of stock.
My order also cancelled, I ordered even earlier when it was posted under new deals, I really wonder whats was the actual stock level!!!
So if the op who posted this deal also had their order cancelled…did QBD ever have actual stock online?
Seem to be sold out online - ah well, you snooze you lose. I think you can still get it instore if you check ahead of time
I ordered at 10:45pm last night so hopefully I still get it , order #195862
My order number is 1955XX and got cancelled
My order was cancelled @ 18:38 last night, long before yours was made.
I ordered 2 hours after original post, over 16 hours ago. No idea if they are filling earliest orders first but mine has just been cancelled too.
"Several" orders cancelled LOL
Order number 195480
Thanks OP. Got one in store.
Australia fair has some left at the same price.
Probably not suited for a 5 year old though.
Shame mine got cancelled. Was hoping to get a present for the little one. Oh well.
plus voted since they have another book I was looking at buying for dirt cheap and free postage.
Big discount, no mention of being clearance item, and no chance of getting one. My order was cancelled, despite being early.
"From time to time QBD posts items here, however when we do, we always have surplus stock"
Um… no you don't.
"and monitor the orders, then taking the item down when our stock has been exhausted."
Sorry, wrong again.
"due to the time of the year, most orders wouldn't be delivered in time if they were for Christmas gifts."
So just give up then? It's not a xmas item.
"To further clarify, this item is not a one off special, our website and retail outlets consistently have an extensive range of items marked down well below recommended retail price. Under each search category, you can select 'clearance sale' to browse all discounted products under that category."
Seriously…
In all fairness, QBD didn't make this post, it was made by a member of the community
Nothing in store at fountain gate, vic
First time I've had a cancellation email directly acknowledging OzBargain as the reason for overselling a product!!
Obviously no proper stock control in-place.
got cancelled…..totally underestimate the power of ozbargain
WHY? It's not like QBD were the ones that posted the deal on here! We seem to keep going back to DS time and time again regardless of how many times they run out of stock and cancel orders!
Most likely it's a price error. Just think about the actual cost of the item and the delivery fees. They don't want to loss any money.
For me it's the first and last time to shop with them :)
Yeah, after reading that all orders seem to have been cancelled now, including the OP's, I'm revoking my + vote!
mine got cancelled too :(
will be interested to know how many people actually got their order processed
Thank you so much. My daughter loves it, I checked this post in the morning it was out of stock, I rang to store lucky me, there were just only 1 left! They hold it for me and I got one now. Thank you!!!
Just bought one from QBD in Pacific Epping 3 hours ago. None on display. The guy got it from the storeroom.
My order 1956XX was cancelled too. :(
Not nice…not nice….I wonder who got it and what order No is….
My order cancelled..
Thats what you get for posting a good bargain. I don't think I will be posting things from now on..
Wait, if OP's order was cancelled does that mean everyone's order was cancelled? Perhaps pricing error?
They wrote a lengthy reply, with no mention of it.
Yep. I sent them 2 messages asking them to reconsider cancelling my order due to the fact that I was the person promoting their business by posting the deal here.
No replies yet. Its been close to 24hrs :(
hope we get an explanation here from QBD
anyone actually got their order processed?
As far as I know only those that walked in to a store were able to buy one, which makes this a dud deal.
Even the OP, which you would expect to be the first order placed, got dudded on this one!
I recieved mine just in time for Christmas. My mum also ordered a set for the grandkids at her house and thy also arrived. I ordered at 16:28 :)
my order still says processing, hmm
Mine arrived today, so they weren't all cancelled. I'm glad I only paid $6 for these, I can't see how they are worth $30…
Got mine last week also!
