        We have seen many OW clearance deals before and clearance items are usually very limited in number. It seems hundreds of these have been ordered, I'd be surprised if they were all honoured. I hope their refund process is efficient.

      • zambuck on 04/01/2015 - 10:25

        I've complained to Officeworks on prior occasions when their website differed from their real stock levels. I've even stood in-store with a staff member comparing their website with their internal system stock level. The website is notoriously bad for this.

        They tried to blame the "new" website, but that was months ago and it still happens. A whole week after I complained about what I considered "bait pricing" on the website, and after no correction had been made, I complained to NSW Fair Trading. Two days later that particular item had been corrected.

        It appears as though they're just interested in getting people invested in buying from them. "Oh but Sir for just $10 more you can buy this one instead."

        • syousef on 04/01/2015 - 12:15

          Yeah in that case I'd just ask for a refund, but I'll give them at least the 8 days before I call. Not really a big deal unless I'm approaching my credit card limit.

    I was just called by office works and refunded - no stock left.

    • randoom on 04/01/2015 - 16:37

      Guess I'm expecting that too, but you never know ;)

  • dizitalart on 04/01/2015 - 14:10

    this would be 4 port (usable) technically as the 5 one would be WAN right?

    • bargaino on 04/01/2015 - 17:01

      No, that would be a router, this is a switch.

      • scottb721 on 04/01/2015 - 23:12

        I think what he means is if one port has the net coming in from his modem/router then there are 4 ports left for local devices. I only have 7 ports 'available' on my 8 port switch as the first one is connected upstream.

  • scottb721 on 04/01/2015 - 23:14

    Lol I best ring them I think. Only just noticed the phone number in my transaction is an old one.

  • denlife on 05/01/2015 - 16:51

    Perhaps they should remove the item from their website then. I was able to order one just now.

  • Herbse on 05/01/2015 - 20:12

    no response after my first email after purchasing yesterday. im expecting this to be cancelled

    I got a tax invoice that came through today for my order placed 2 days ago… is it coming?

  • Twodogs on 06/01/2015 - 13:40

    Im guessing officeworks must have heaps in stock at a warehouse as it says 8-16 days for delivery instead of the usual 1-2 days, only time will tell.

  • syousef on 06/01/2015 - 15:52

    Yeah so broke down and rang them and unsurprisingly they have to refund. But that's not what I'm annoyed about. What I'm annoyed about is that the lady I spoke to said she had to send an email to their supplier (or internal, not sure) to stop the order and then they would ring me back tomorrow to get my credit card details for a refund.

    So
    1) Stock levels not displayed correctly on their website for days.
    2) Can't immediately cancel an order. They have to ring me back the next day.
    3) Can't keep my credit card details long enough to issue the cancellation.

    I'll still get my money back but having to chase it up is just an irritation that makes me want never to buy online through them again. Definitely easier to just walk in and buy in store. Easier still is to deal with someone online that knows how to fulfill an order. Gee I wonder why Aussie retailers are struggling.

  • chid on 06/01/2015 - 20:15

    I just called officeworks they don't have stock, they "called" me and left a message.

      • 2jzzzz on 08/01/2015 - 14:04

        03DEC14. Invoice dated 05DEC2014 and it;s just for shipping charges. Says item will be sent and invoiced seperately.

    • mxlegend99 on 24/01/2015 - 09:47

      I had tge same after a week or so, 3 weeks later and that letter is the only thing I have received.

      I see others have had their orders cancelled and refunded, I have had no contact at all. My order shows up as partially dispatched. I will contact them nowthat I know others have had orders cancelled.

      • 2jzzzz on 24/01/2015 - 14:40

        Yeah I called up and they said they won't be fulfilling it. I asked if you were ever intending to refund me, what if I didn't call? Said, well this order would just stay as it is and we would keep the money. They refunded me, but looks only like the unit price, not the shipping. Have to call the 'tards again….

        • mattyman on 24/01/2015 - 15:21

          I had mine set to pick up from my nearest store. I didn't want to pay for shipping and they don't charge you for pickup. They are open until 9pm on weeknights So they are wasy enough to get to.

  • zambuck on 09/01/2015 - 07:22

    I got the refund call also, and was offered a "Similar but better product" for $29.97. I politely declined. Bait and switch.

  • zambuck on 09/01/2015 - 08:29

    So I realise this isn't entirely on topic, but I've been thinking about buying a HP ProCurve switch instead. They come with a limited lifetime warranty and have the option of "advance replacement", where you can get a replacement sent before you send the faulty one back. Current best prices around are about $50 for an 8-port V1410-8G and $100 for a 16-port V1410-16G.

    Any opinions?

  • brenwildman on 09/01/2015 - 13:08

    Officeworks stings again. Shame on me again.
    So looking at alternatives in VIC, PCDIY has TP-link switches: 5-port for $16.10 and 8-port for $22 online only (delivery for me was ~$9). In store at PCDIY 5-port for $18 and 8-port for $25, which is worse than CPL/MSY 5-port for $18 and 8-port for $24 pickup.
    Anyone found cheaper?

    Got an email, no attempt at making a call. Pathetic customer relations from Officeworks. It is now on me to chase them up to get my money back! Officeworks should honour the deal and offer an alternative switch at their expense. I'll see if I can string them along for a bit, I'm not so worried about it as it is only $15 but you get the feeling that even if that amount had some 0's on the end, they would treat you the same way.

  • lepenseur on 09/01/2015 - 22:27

    I ordered, confirmation received, and now today OW are telephoning customers saying that their supplier has no stock to supply them with and they are processing refunds for customers who purchased. Must quote credit card details by phone for them to process the refund. This is an uncomfortable process, and has been a waste of time.

  • Heracles on 10/01/2015 - 12:32

    Received refund email from paypal also, rubbish service from Officeworks.

  • scottb721 on 11/01/2015 - 07:14

    I might just request refund via Paypal and skip OW all together.

  • Link on 12/01/2015 - 14:33

    After asking, Officeworks agreed to sell me another switch for the same price. In my email response to their original "no stock, order can't be filled" I linked them a number of other switches from their store and stated I would be happy to receive any of those for the same money. They agreed to the cheaper d-link, and whilst I am not a d-link fan (I think their web interfaces are atrocious), as this is an unmanaged device I don't really care. http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/d-link-5-port…

    The price on this is less than what the Tenda was so the deal is not as good, but I feel like I have had a win as I did actually need a gigabit switch :)

    Oddly though, they still needed to refund me the original purchase then charge me again all in the same phone call.

    • JoelT on 16/01/2015 - 13:22

      You're luckier than I.
      I tried to get them to switch the order to the D-Link, but knocked back.

      Cancelled today and refunded to Paypal.

  • haymo on 12/01/2015 - 15:11

    Just had Officeworks call to let me know they cannot fulfill my order due to insufficient stock (10 days after I got the confirmation email).
    Ridiculous really…

  • Less Point on 15/01/2015 - 00:12

    I still haven't heard anything from them other than the confirmation email. I think I'll just start the paypal charge back without them.

    Pretty poor effort officeworks

    • thedriver on 21/01/2015 - 18:41

      Same. I went in store last week and they couldn't find the order on the shelf so told me to come back this week after the orders were delivered.
      I've been waiting 18 days for this and found out today they don't have stock, order placed within minutes of OP. They offered me the 8 port Tenda model for an $8 discount, cheap bastards, I took a full refund instead. Pretty pissed off with Officeworks now… would be inclined to call them Doesntwork.

  • zmsbd on 16/01/2015 - 14:06

    after 2 weeks' waiting without any email, OfficeWorks cancelled my order today and refunded it.

    not happy…

  • lime111 on 19/01/2015 - 19:26

    Officeworks called me today, explained they couldn;t fulfill the order so they wanted to refund it. They called from a private number and wanted my CC details, so i got them to email me and called them back. Given MSY sells an 8 port 10/100 switch for $11 i'm not that upset.

    • mattyman on 22/01/2015 - 14:18

    I didn't actually receive a call or any other form of communication from Officeworks. I rang today to find out where my two switches were, only to be told that they were out of stock and couldn't provide them. They refunded my PayPal straight away (apparently - I haven't checked yet).

    Poor form Officeworks. Poor form.

  • unity1 on 24/01/2015 - 10:06

  • cirno on 27/01/2015 - 09:44

    • Sebby on 09/02/2015 - 23:49

      I visited my local office works and asked them to chase up my order. The staff member told me they can't even look into the order as it is something processed outside of the store.

      I rang the office works hotline and was told someone had tried to contact me a few weeks ago but I didn't answer. They gave me an option to purchase a netgear 5-port switch for around $50 each or receive a refund.
      I chose a refund.
