Got this in their latest newsletter, cheaper than most other places. Not sure if gray import or not… but at this price who cares.
If you want to pay by card, there's a 2% fee… ends up being $345.78

Doubtful.
hahaha now i get them….just read their T&C

- Ability to Supply:
it's almost 2 weeks since ordered and still not shipped.. I'll be inquiring myself tomorrow if I don't get a shipping confirmation email today.
I just sent a chasing email. Haven't asked for a refund, as I want the product at this price.
so your order status has changed from 'on order'? im thinking most people griping here is still willing to wait at this price hehe. if its been two weeks why not another two right ;). ill call tomorrow too as to when their next batch ordered will come in this week and how many…they are so vague on the details…its like their own supplier isn't willing to give any assurance either. quite absurd really…i mean it would be reasonable to expect some certainty on the supply end right??
Totally. I would have asked for a refund, but like many others, this is worth waiting for and I am not in a desperate hurry.
It is terrible customer service!
It doesn't look good as qty sold is now down to 171pcs. :(
Maybe people have cancelled their orders??
Sold Quantity: 162pcs
Is there someone living close to the address and could go and ask for us about the order? Because on phone they always say different things for each person
address:18 191 Parramatta Road AUBURN NSW 2144
They could at least sent an email explaining why its taking so long.
They can't send an email because they don't know what to write- every answer they have given so far has been different!
i did go to that same address, which was next day from the time i ordered the phone from the website. She told me to phone before coming as i wasted my time driving there…thinking they had it already in stock bwahahaha ….its just a guy(owner most likely) and woman(receptionist..)The place is a smallish sized industrialized lot in amongst other pc stores/ other small businesses around it. They are really set up just like a pc store, but not a display store, more like a warehouse. Anyway i think their main interface comes from their website…
Anyone who doesn't get the phone here,
Check out this deal
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/191898Samsung S5. A somewhat comparable phone for a similar price..
Do you think it's worth it to cancel this Z2 order and get S5?
Haven't heard from them for a while :-\
I think Z2 is better than S5 in term of media player and graphics. You think Z2 > S5?I think the Z2 has more LTE and 3G bands working for Australia. That's a plus.
I think theZ2 is better than S5, no doubt about that. Better bands, waterproof, and better battery,
The only question is an S5 in Hand might be better than Z2 in waiting.
The Web actually is pretty bad with most helpful review
Not too convincing. Either way, ITestate even worst i guess
yeah.. spec wise the Z2 wins easy.. 3GB RAM, network bands, camera, etc.
Unless you really like AMOLED.. That's arguably better a better screen on the S5.
So long as I get the phone before Sony declares bankruptcy I'm happy.
I got an auto response to my sales inquiry. So far so good.
Not so good. I tried calling on Tuesday at 12, rang few times and no one is picking up the phone. I think i will be asking bank to put a dispute on this transaction. Good luck to everyone (INCLUDING ME)
Just ask them for a refund first, might be easier to resolve rather than going through the bank, they sound reasonable enough just oversold stuff in anticipation of delivery.
i called just then and she said they're expecting a batch of 30-50 coming in on Thursday…30 had been shipped out already. Expecting/ hoping to pick it up then or Friday. Feeling hopeful…
Awesome.. any day now.
I hope they are not just buying time, it's the same story I got last week about stock being delivered yesterday.
well i was around 60 at the queue last week now around 30 this week this week so its an improvement…
Finally called them up. They have over 100 orders waiting to be fulfilled, around 150 iirc. They're getting around 40 or so this thursday/friday.
Next week wednesday/thursday they're getting another 40 or so.
All orders should be fulfilled in 2-3 weeks.
Unfortunately, I'm near the end of the queue. :(
What time did you place you order??
Can't wait. My new screen protector has been sitting here for a week.
Ordered 16/04/2015 09:55:18
Where am I in the queue?
I have a feeling on the wrong end.Well you are ahead of me….
16/04/2015 10:30:43
16/04/2015 08:22:16
I'm near the end. So you're near there too i guess?
16/04/2015 08:05:08
Got told i'm ~60th as of last Friday.
Can't believe I missed that s5 deal. Great phone. Changeable batteries, more rugged. If a dual Sim s5 deal comes up (g900fd ) I'll cancel the z2. Are any more waterproof phone s coming out, I wonder?
Its most likely as i guessed that these Z2s are more like old stock they need to get rid off come the z4 (psuedo flagship japan) announced last week, and supposed actual flagship (z5/p1)to come out q4 2015. Im suspecting this time next year, if sony keeps on track on its same scheduled bi annual releases, it'll be possible the z3 could be found at this z2 price next year….Sounds great for savvy buyers
Not going to wait a year for a phone.
Haha…no i wouldn't expect me nor anyone would, but it would be a pleasant suprise if we could replace our aquired z2s this time next year noh?… But i guess i shouldnt count the chickens before they hatch! Lol
The Z3 isn't even much of an upgrade over the Z2 tbh. Not sure I would bother.
z3 isn't that much difference with z2 actually.
I even think that z3 is worst than z2 in term of design.And if Z69 came out you gonna wait for Z68?
Anyone's "Order Status" actually changed from "On Order"???
They claim to have delivered 30 units till now. Has anyone received theirs? Is it genuine Oz stock? Do you have a GST invoice?
I am going overseas on 10th May. Hoping to claim TRS but looks unlikely given that I am at the end of the queue….sigh!!!!
They're getting 30-50 stock this Friday then around the same next Friday. Depending where you live you MAY be able to get it overnight and have it by Saturday if you're in the second lot.
WoW, Either Am I. 5 more days until your departure , I guess you can't claim your GST then.
BTW , do you think that the invoice will be dated during the date you paid right? Or they will match invoice date with the day the send the item?
If not , then i guess it's not fair., after 2 months you can't claim your GST from the invoiceI won't be going overseas again so this was the only opportunity. I guess its still a too buy at 339 but the fact that nobody except one has received phone on ozb…now I am suspicious..
Received my awesome Z2 loving it… 😉👍👍
Sorry guys for those who haven't received yet.
Just got mine today. I guess I was one of the first few in..Proper GST INVOICE, AUATRALIAN STOCK,
even came with Vodafone Australia's my Vodafone app,
congrats!……And i thought you were considering to get the s5 haha!Guess it was worth the delay hehe! Does it include charging dock/ noise cancelling earphones and or xperia case? With the australia stock means we bring it back to sony right? You got your case/glass?
First time ever when I got lucky in anything. It does not have a dock it came with the phone and charger and earphones, also some special sort of cable and the usual manual and stuff.
Transferring Data
Just tried the Xperia transfer APp to import Messages, images etc, sweet, Everything transferred easily from Old samsung to Z2. Install the app on the samsung, Update the app on the Z2 to latest and a few taps to connect them together.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile…
You can also do transfers from Phone to PC and then to the Z2, There is also an iPhone app, Blackberry and others.
See here for detailed instructions.
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/apps-services/xperia-tra…ScreenProtector
Also I got the NuGlass Screen protector, The protector is really good quality came with fancy packaging but more than that it felt really good Quality.
One small problem with the Screen protector is the hole for the camera is in the wrong place.Case
Still waiting on this one, will update with links when I receive it.
Oh no, wrong hole!
When did you buy it??
I Will call them tomorrow ;/
Nice. Worth the wait at that price, and Australian Stock to boot, awesome.
I just called and was told I am near the end of the queue of almost 200 phones, and that Sony is only delivering in 15-20 phone batches either once or twice a week.
I was told that I could get a refund if I wanted one (I guess they are in over their heads on this one).I was also told that I am at least 2-3 weeks away, which I take to mean 4.
I ordered at 9:18 on the 16th of April.Well, you are not at the end of the queue as I was at 10:23. I think I was literally last as it showed out of stock before I even checked out. Fortunately not in a massive rush so will ride it out. Some communication would be nice.
Don't be silly. Communication is over rated.
I sent an inquiring email on Tuesday. Still nothing but the auto-acknowledgement.
i called again this afternoon because this morning the woman said to me they're expecting a shipment this week @4pm 30-50 pieces. NOW the guy says they're instead expecting middle of next week of around 20. Really disappointed at these inconsistencies and giving me the work around
Apparently i'm now 41th in the queue instead of 30 something; order 15/04/2015 22:05:00
This customer service is frankly appalling!
Always hearing something different… geez.
From what Cowboy is saying, looks like I might be waiting a month or more, geez.
I'm now considering getting a refund and buying an Asus Zenfone 2 instead.
Only 10 arrived this week apparently….disgusting
I would do the same, but I've already ordered a case and screen protector.
@Orpheus: Same here but if I don't receive it in the next 2 weeks, I just have to dump the case & screen protector to the bin. :(
I already received mine a week ago. Just waiting for the phone. Just hope to get my phone before june!!!
oops
I called them today … I ordered 15/04/2015 21:45:47 and the woman said that I am the 60th in the queue…. I Don`t have words to describe how much I hate them right now…
Where are the Moto G promotions ? Just needing a phone ASAP :/
cboy is the 41th in the queue and he ordered 15/04/2015 22:05:00 , you ordered earlier 15/04/2015 21:45:47 but at the 60th?
That's odd, I called them today and the lady said I was the 60th in the queue. I ordered on 15/04/2015 21:57:11 so it's pretty close. I'm suspecting that our position in the queue may be related to payment method as I paid via bank deposit which might have brought me lower…
First they said that cboy was 30ish, and now 41th. I guess they just pick a random number and say to everyone the same number. BTW, I bought by card.
Called them again today and what they said 2-3 weeks again instead 1-2 weeks. How about if you call them next week? They will say 2-3 weeks again, which make it 1-2 months NOT including with shipping time
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Shame , Shame, Shame. After waiting so long and enormous lies, the last one i got today is—I need to wait 2-3 weeks more. I have not seen any more worse service than this in my life. I paid on 2015-04-15 20:48:07
Good luck if you still waiting. After all these idiotic lies, I have no choice but to cancel the phone. Again…SHAME …SHAME ..SHAME. I will put a truly horrible review for this company everywhere
That make it 1-2 months NOT including with shipping time
Its punishment for not giving OP a plus vote :D j/k. It's still a great price and I'm sure ozbargainers will stick it out but if not just get one at MSY.
MSY were out of stock this weekend. Nowhere else seems remotely near to this price.
I am sticking it out. Thankfully not desperate for a new phone as I was planning to upgrade at end of contract in a couple of months but was tempted here.
I just wonder why the stock is so slow as I would assume this is a price that Sony are dumping excess stock. It occurred to me that we may be getting a refurb hence they are working on them.
Can people who have got them confirm that this is definitely not the case?
Now that I jumped the gun and paid $50 for phone protection (for 2 Z2's) I want to stick with the Z2.
Has anyone found them for a reasonable price anywhere else that actually has these phones in stock?You better be very very lucky to find one.
Anyway you bought 2 from itestate?! Seems they have no limitation policy
i had to bite the bullet…hope i dont regret it…just went for a z1C at DWI for $358 including priority shipping +insurance (mothers day special coupon code $14 off) . Honestly the wait (its been 3-4weeks) is not worth it, especially the BS coming from itestate. I just ordered with a pay and pickup so not so much of a hassle for me. But take a persons money without any assurance on the delivery is not on IMHO,especially when the item was specified INSTOCK. Disgusting…
Enough of the rant. Good luck to all those who continue to wait…At least you have 1 less in the queue….even if i dont know where the hell i am in it lol
Did you went to the store physically?
If yes , you might have a advantage to give pressure on them.i did the first time…but they told me just to call first before i come in and check my order online which i have been doing since then. They gave an approx queue list because they cant bother to count ( how hard is it to put a numbered list??), which suggest they don't give a damn really… as long as theyre holding ur payment they don't care, they believe you'll just cancel and they'll refund the money, and disregard all the time and effort spent by the customer emailing them and following up on their order. Thats what you call customer service; its all about the 'transaction'
But remember we got 2% extra cost from Visa Card which made us pay $6 more since their suck-ass web don't have any paypal payment option. If we cancel we lose that $6 dollar
More over, those people hold most of our money for 2 months NOT 1 week. $ 340 x 200 phones= 68,000 ($40-50,000 perhaps with some cancellation + they have to pay the supplier fo every order which came out). It's like borrowing the Bank indirectly
I never ever had kind of local OZ store which hold our money + item that long.
We can boycott them by give a terrible review in every review available for them / sue them (which I think not possible according to their policy)its been 3weeks from me come tomorrow 15/4 -6/5…maybe i should of waited for another week haha..
say any review available for them and I will do this…
Here in Australia, you guys don't have a non-profit organization or some government sector that helps customers?
@mewdex:
Every store in OZ have to fullfill the ACCC, if not they will be screwed & I think ITestate obivously breach multiple of the policy "intensely". More than 1 friggin month for local stock…- They should at least manage their web to be dynamic so if it's run out of stock, they will state it clearly and make customer unable to
buy it from them. - The refund should be made immediately if they think that they can't deliver the item in reasonable time. This will avoid dissapointment
- They should at least manage their web to be dynamic so if it's run out of stock, they will state it clearly and make customer unable to
https://www.accc.gov.au/contact-us/contact-the-accc
https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/complaints-problemsYou can also report them via ACL because it's GST Included
I don't think they will respond to your email. And for the phone call, It's gonna be hard to explain because you can't give the link to the web and refer to your order number. More over, let just say that they respond, I don't think it's not possile to report them because they did mention to you that you can cancel the order and give you refund.
Good luck mate, hope you can report them
Just dreding the hypothetical scenario. Next time I call and m told, you are 41st in queue compared to 40 last week….despite cancellations..
haha they did that to me last week…
Has ANYONE at all actually received their phone yet? Anyone??
I ordered on2015-04-15 23:10:23.0 still waiting
Status shows "All In Stock" but has for many days. Still no sign. Don't even reply to emails
Ordered 15/04/2015 before 8pmI ordered 16/04/2015 08:05:08, not expecting mine for a while..
You both should be near the front of the queue though,that's odd that you're still are yet to receive yours.
So many OZbargainers ordered and only one person claiming to receive the phone?. Itself smells fishy.
My thoughts are the same. Any other ozb members receive their phones?
Plot Twist: Dealman is the StoreRep of ITestate
Any other person got Phone (OTHER THAN DEALMAN)?????
I refunded the order this morning as I am not bother to wait any longer & bought Xperia Z3 with leather case for $480 instead. :)
Good luck to you all.$480
Link?
I bought it from "Phone dealer - Gumtree Adelaide". He has a few to sell @$499.00 with 2 years warranty & I managed to get it for $480 :)
Well thanks for the slap in the face :)
Any updates? Another week gone by.
I phoned, the very friendly lady said I am near the back of the queue. They shipped out 40 already and expect to now receive 30-50 a week, so I should get mine in "2-3 weeks, but please phone back next week for an update"
Yeah right
I now regret ordering from these guys. I hope I get it before May.
