    Hi, the $50 vouchers are only redeemable on purchases over $300.

    It feels a bit misleading that shoppingexpress only introduced this requirement after we made the initial purchase. I bought an SSD during the period, got the coupon a couple of days ago, only to be notified of the new terms and conditions.

      • EnALup on 02/06/2015 - 12:28

        Not sure why people are negging Rep for a deal he didn't post and users did not read the fine print for full conditions. If SE changed the conditions later, then it is fine to blame them.

      Me too, very disappointed with this requirement. I and whole ozbargain community always regarded shopping express to be best small business but this time it has let us down. If I knew about the requirement I wouldn't have bought Samsung evo 1Tb.

    • busterau on 01/06/2015 - 17:04

      It does mention a "minimum purchase value will apply" however it should have stated the actual amount, so I can see where you are coming from.

      I have to agree with sentiments here. Regardless of whether it's stated minimum spend or not, $300 as minimum spend is quite a lot.

      I actually purchased a HP G1610T back then in hope of scoring some hard disks later on with $50 off voucher. You did the WD Red sale before June, so there was no voucher yet. Now there's another HDD sale, but you're also limiting the maximum order of the NAS drive to one. Even if I'm allowed to buy 2, it's still not $300 yet.

      Sure, shoppingexpress is well within its rights to set conditions like this. However, there's also customers' perception of seller's sincerity of doing sales. At the moment this is raising concerns. Why not just be transparent about it and do less price reduction without entangling customers with voucher promises and minimum spend? Most people here would probably know MSY, Umart and staticice anyways, they know street price.

      One may say OzBargainers are entitled bunch, but seriously, this is a website for bargains.

      /end rant

          Posts on ozb always include details like this. It's not a deal once you say there is a minimum spend, esp an unknown one. I think a lot people overlooked it which says just how well it was hidden. And this is ozb where things like this almost never get missed and posts are updated once discovered.
          This deal had big flashy banners for multiple offers and then a fine print somewhere tucked below. There was no reference point in the offer to make people aware that they needed to read the fine print which is what most businesses do when they have catches.

          I looked at the offer page myself and didn't pick up on it either. There was one catch written under the offer to receive $50 voucher ( * to be used between…). But catch 2 (minimum spend) was not included here also. Both could have been put there, and putting one there but not the other may be part reason that other restrictions were overlooked.

          There should have been a point to read the terms under the offer. I bought from them because of the offer. I wouldn't if I knew of the minimum spend and definitely not with a minimum spend that had not even been decided on. They could have made it any ridiculous amount they wanted. Or they could make it what it is which is nothing more than the usual offers that pop up from time to time, a small percentage with high spend restrictions and not something that feels it was awarded as part of a deal.

        Hi Walletroo,

        The prices of our Hard drives including WD Red as sharp as MSY's prices and the limit is 4 per customer on most sizes. Please take another look.

        Also it is 1st June with more deals yet to come - it's not fair to say we are not sincerity of doing sales. To help provide fillers, our memory card and usb drives have also been given Free Shipping during this period, with very sharp price still offered. We believe we are offering genuine specials to help everyone - everyone just need to calm down and look at what's coming next or take a look closer at what we offer at our website.

        It's not too late to subscribe to our newsletter so you have the latest promotions that may not be featured on ozbargain during this period as not every type of item is popular on ozbargain.

          @ShoppingExpress:

          Oh no….you are tempting me.

          I would prefer a similar deal on the i3 unit (http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/intel-nuc-nuc5i3ryh-i3…) with RAM + SSD + Windows 8 (64bit) but I am not sure if this is possible.

          Otherwise if you can do the $299 N2820 as before but with Windows 8 64-Bit, the previous deal was pretty sweet and you almost had me but I would prefer an i3.

          Let us know what you can do…with Windows 10 around the corner a NUC would be a great evaluation platform before converting over the mission critical gear.

    • mathew42 on 01/06/2015 - 18:03

      If at all possible try to buy drives from different batches, even different manufacturers. It reduces the risk of a manufacturing error which causes multiple drives to fail within a short period of time.

      RAID needs to be same brand, model and ideally, same firmware too. WD Green is not designed for RAID anyway and you're asking for trouble if you do. Get the WD RE4 drives or the Seagate Constellations for RAID.

        RAID needs to be same brand, model and ideally, same firmware too

        Any brand and model will work. You can even use drives of different sizes for a mirrored RAID array - it'll just use the smallest size. The worst that can happen is that a rebuild is triggered unnecessarily.

        If you're after top performance then they should be matched, but if you're after reliability for a home mirrored array rather than top performance, using different brands or batches is a better idea. Lots of people got stung a few years ago when Seagate's 1TB drives had a firmware bug which killed multiple drives at once.

    PLE, MSY, Netplus offer consistently good prices, shipped or in-store.

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 02/06/2015 - 00:04

    I am a big fan of Shopping Express and also their rep here who is very responsive.

    They regularly offer good deals on various stuff, often their promotional prices are better than MSY etc - particularly when the promo includes free shipping.

    Take for example the recent promos on hard disks where Shopping Express' delivered prices were lower than the pickup prices at MSY, Umart or anyone else on staticice. The prices were lower even if you excluded the fact you were also earning discount vouchers…

    Similarly last week the Logitech G930 was $150 delivered, which is cheaper than anyone in Australia.

    Shopping Express' regular prices are not as competitive - but for promo deals they are generally very very good…

    However I too am a little disappointed at the very high $300 minimum spend requirement of the vouchers earnt in May. I acknowledge we were told there would be a minimum spend, but I didn't think that would be $300! I spent enough to qualify for a $50 voucher and I imagined the spending limits would be something like $50 for a $20 voucher and $100 for $50 voucher. Certainly no more than $200 for a $50 voucher.

    If I had a $20 voucher I would be severely pissed to have to spend $300 to get a $20 discount.

    So I am disappointed. But I also feel some of the comments they have received here are unfair - stuff like "rip off artists" etc…

    Anyway I just hope there some good deals on stuff I want to buy between now and 16 June. With good promo deals in the next 2 weeks, spending $300 won't be that hard… Not spending $3k will be harder if the Asus gaming laptops go on special again…

    I for one will continue to support Shopping Express and I note their latest promo for gift vouchers earn in June gives you vouchers with ZERO minimum spend requirement - so they appear to have already learnt their lesson from the May discount voucher experience…

    • CyberGenesys on 02/06/2015 - 06:19
      +2

      so they appear to have already learnt their lesson from the May discount voucher experience…

      Did you see how the June vouchers are split? Spend half the voucher in July and the other half in August. Pretty damn annoying (I would even say it's worse than the high minimum spend T&Cs) to have to make two orders to use the vouchers (in such a short time frame too) but I guess that's what SE wants. Again, its only ~16% (at best I might add, since it's fixed value) and you have to spend a stupidly high amount to get the voucher in the first place.

      Edit: or is it 14% off since you actually have to spend 1740 (over 3 orders; 1500 +120 +120) to get $240 off?

        CyberGenesys it appears nothing would make you happy except free money falling from the sky.

        Now a split between July and August is even worse than a minimum spend requirement for you!
        2 months is also not what I would call a short timeframe??

        I know I'd much rather no minimum spend and a split, and I suspect most people will be of the same view…

        These are gift vouchers that are freebies when you buy a certain value of goods and those earnt in June don't have any minimum spend requirement. The fact they are split is up to Shopping Express. At least Shopping Express are being upfront this time about the precise conditions of the vouchers.

          I'm sorry if I appear negative. It just seems like a lot of hoops to jump through for what will likely end up as 10% off for most people (even less if you are making a $3k order ;). Many other stores provide 10% off coupons with no other requirement than a minimum spend eg spend $100 or more and get 10% off and with no requirement to make another order (or two).

          I should add that I am a big fan of shopping express and their deals. However, I rarely order more than 3 times a year from them, thus a 1 month expiry is useless to me. To take advantage of this deal I would also need to pay postage 3 times which is not much in comparison to the whole, but still an amount I would not be spending if I was making a single order.

          Overall it seems like an excessively confusing way to replace what could be a simple 10% or 15% off instant use code.

    Store Rep: I don't see 20% off my shopping cart despite over $400 WD Red NAS. How to apply discount?

      You need to put an item in the WD NAS category. (Which doesn't have WD Red HDDs)
      http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/wd-nas

      The $95 item works but you'd need to get at least $475 worth of HDDs to even break even with the discount.

    How do you rate this Kingston 64GB vs Samsung Evo…?
    It's going in a Lumia 735 from here(https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/195749)

    thanks..

  • cktftw on 02/06/2015 - 13:26

    Rep, the microSD card I purchased almsot 1 month ago hasn't arrived.
    I have sent you a total of 5 emails, but only got one reply asking if the postage details were correct. Never heard back since.

    If I don't hear back by the end of the day I will open a Paypal dispute.

    Very disappointed with the service.
