          How did you manage to get it that cheap? Do you just call the store and see if they have any left? Or was it during that huge marked price off a few days back?

        • cv05 on 16/12/2015 - 19:57

          @Zaychri:

          Looked at the receipt in the OP. Walked into DSE at 9am in the morning and they had one left on the shelf.

          @fingers 3rs:

          Same. Was really happy ss was in a Vodafone box but set it up and has no carrier branding and it's unlocked. Excellent bang for buck.

    • neworder on 12/12/2015 - 10:32

      Could you send me a receipt of Mate 7 please?

    David Jones Dick Smith Parramatta hoarding all Note 4 stock.

    One of the staff first said that all available are returned stock.
    When I asked to see those (and decide whether it still good enough condition), other staff (the manager) change the reason and said all those are customer returned (to be repaired).
    Dodgy as hell and pretty sure it's a lie…

    • cv05 on 12/12/2015 - 09:36

      Mine wasn't returned stock if that helps, still in it's sealed plastic.

      I bought it thinking I might on sell it, but I am soooo tempted to open it, it looks so shiny and new lol.

      Currently I have a S5 Mini which doesn't look like it's going any further than KitKat which is annoying, but I really like the smaller screen size. Decisions decisions!

    • edfoo on 12/12/2015 - 11:47

      Geez, I thought only the economy-class Dick Smith staffs resort to stock holding, looks like the first-class DJ staffs also pulling the same low act.

      Not possible. I bought a sim from Top Ryde just 10 mins back. I am still in the mall.

      • tonytone on 12/12/2015 - 12:47

        The guy told me that they didn't have any.

        • virhlpool on 12/12/2015 - 13:18

          Yes, one guy told me that too since he seemed new. But then I checked with another and when he checked, there were five in stock. I bought one.

    There were two Vodafone SIM card packagings at DSE Macarthur Square. The small ones manufactured in 2013 and the large ones in 2014. The control numbers of the 2013 stock were rejected by DSE's system and they wouldn't sell them to me.

    I bought all 8 of the new stock. A staff took 10 of the old stock for a telephone order, and there were 4 old stock packs leftover. I don't know if these old stock will activate without DSE accepting the control numbers.

    At the counter I found a stack of Family & Friends Weekend 10% discount flyers, took one and it worked on these clearance SIMs too.

          haven't done it, but with the previous $30 & $50 sims I bought a while ago that I've activated recently I get the prepaid plans that are available now. eg $50; infinite calls, 90 minutes international & 4GB data.

        Unlimited Text and Calls

        • virhlpool on 12/12/2015 - 12:21

          Mine reads just $750 Cap credit and infinite standard text and 2GB data. But, the DS guy told me that it's an old packing and inclusions have changed to unlimited calls now. Was it the case with you too? If not, I might have to call customer case.

          Does it ask for id proof when you activate it?

        • xsacha on 12/12/2015 - 14:29

          @virhlpool: mine read the $750 credit and 2GB on pack too but that's not what it gave me. It gave me what it says on the website. I'm using it right now.

          All sims ask for ID when you activate.

      I went to the CBD store last night at ~8.30pm and asked how much they were. The guy told me $16 because that's what it said it on tag. I asked him to scan it and he reluctantly did it and it came up as $2.

      There was ~10 left on the shelf when I left.

      • GeneralZod on 12/12/2015 - 18:57

        Yup. I was there first thing in the morning, trying to find my luck on Mate 7 then a guy bought 7 or something. I didn't want to buy one but bought the rest anyways, for the data.

    Edit: thanks for posting the deal!

  • tightarse on 12/12/2015 - 13:45

    True story. I was just at the Broadmeadows store in Vic. I asked one of the ladies if there was stock of the SIMs so I could report it back here. She went to where all the display handsets are and opened a cabinet. She came back with a few in her hand. I asked her how much they were and how many more she had. She said $2 and 'plenty'. I said thank you and started browsing the store - I have no need for them. A young guy standing behind me then told the lady he'd buy the lot. My ears pricked up. She said sorry, only 1 or 2 per customer. He went off his rocker! He said he had every right to buy as many as he wants! I really wanted to butt in but thought it best to shut up. He kept arguing the point but she stood firm, and good on her! He left with nothing. It's customers like this that give DSE employees a bad name - they take the lot then cry foul that there's never anything in stock. Greedy people with a take take take philosophy, never giving anything back to the community. Anyway, as of 1:30pm, there are still SIMs at this store, unless the guy sent family/friends back to buy the lot. Good luck :)

    • ITveteran on 12/12/2015 - 14:07

      Exactly. I guess a lot of people vent here about bad service of DS actually just bias. My experience with DS has been very good. Mostly the staffs are friendly and helpful. Now we are taking advantage of DS when the company is bleeding, please be fair to them at least, even if you don't feel grateful.

      I definitely will continue to support DS over other overseas online sellers.

      • tightarse on 12/12/2015 - 14:09

        Totally agree. I'm not defending DSE and its practises online, but go easy on the store staff. Most are just kids.

        • tightarse on 12/12/2015 - 14:36

          @zacsg1: Hi zacsg1. If you're after the SIMs, give the Broadmeadows store a call (03) 9916 6585. Tell them you're on your way, and if they can kindly hold one (or two) for you.

        • zacsg1 on 12/12/2015 - 15:51

      Previously: very bad. However I haven't been back to that particular store.

      Can't believe the behaviour of some people.
      Yes it's frustrating if your store doesn't have that $2 99" smart robotic TV, but its not the sales persons fault.
