Thanks tonester. C&C order ready for collection just 30 mins after placing order.
C&C'd (VIC) a bottle of Aberlour 12YO Scotch Whisky 700mL for $45… Happy days!!!
Was already stocked up with previous 1st Choice/AMEX offers, and Dan Murphy's Made in Japan Asahi case which would have seen me through Xmas and New Year, but thought another Aberlour couldn't hurt for $45.
Thanks OP!
Do you have to wait for the SMS before going for collection?
Yep, stores should be pretty quick, half hour to an hour usually
Great job you're doing mate! I received my sms within 10 minutes! If it's that quick, either your too efficient or in fact you don't actually have that much work to do =P
Haha started at 6 and i'm still here! I need 3 of me at this time of year!
No, I took my Mum with me when I collected mine. I'd received the sms, she had not, and they were both ready.
Someone may have forgot to click it, we print, pack, then click.. it's literally a race to be the fastest and the clock doesnt stop til you get the sms!
I got the SMS! Thanks!
Thanks Tonester nice find bought a bottle of penfolds port for a pressie ,saved me$10 and got flybuys points on the purchase and for using my coles credit card & did click and collect.Happy Festivus!
Just picked up and an order, which I hadn't received an SMS for, was rejected due to multiple use of the coupon.
Orders are being returned to the call centre, who are probably now backlogged phoning customers. We've been told to pack 1 and return the rest to the call centre as their only valid once per customer
how did they know?
You guys there is also a 10% off staff code to take 10% off and both work,if only it had been click and collect.
what is that code?
2778157821950 Stick it in the staff discount box
If this is your personal Coles for You number then you might want to delete your post. They have an investigations team that looks for this sort of thing mate. You could literally lose your job posting this.
Balwyn Victoria store cancelling all orders
how come?
not a correct code in their system, was told to reorder at full price
did you get an sms saying it was ready to pick up?
Nah no sms just checked if it was ready
Possibly stupid question - how does the system recognise whether it's your first order or not? I was able to get to the last stage of a second order with the same discount using the same details, but didn't submit. Would more than one order with the code be possible?
Yes, but orders with the same name using the code more than once are being cancelled
Pity if your name is John Smith…..
This discount code stacks with the team member discount code 2778157821950
Did I not already mention this above?
already collected the order :(
They don't check for proof of employment?
Trying to place order :1 x Brown Brothers Crouchen Riesling 750mL.
Added OPs code and 2778157821959.
Total dropped to 0 ( including delivery in Syd(
But at last page the CC payment stops you there saying INVALID AMOUNT for transaction :(Thanks OP. Just got a bottle of Penfolds Shiraz for a hefty dollar. (Mostly) Free booze always tastes sweeter.
it keeps coming up with an error message that the coupon code doesn't apply?
Ozbargained. Switched off at midnight.
yesterday was "the last day of the month"… and year? Today is 2016 !
When will it start working again?
It's not midnight in Queensland yet… and it's definitely not the last day of the month :(
Wait, what? I could have ordered earlier but didn't since I knew (or thought) I had time since the T&C said that it would run until the end of the month.
WTF? What happened? Need a bit better explanation for breaking your own terms and conditions than simply 'ozbargained'.
Looks like I'll be going to Dan Murphy's instead tomorrow.
Mate, i simply work for them. If you can't work out why it had to be pulled when store teams are busy enough and people are putting through 100 $1 bottle orders then i will be happy to give you directions to the nearest Dans.
Surely First Choice Liquor would have realised that having this deal with no set minimum spend would invite people to use it as you described. They should have also realised that Christmas is a busy time of year and factored that in when releasing this deal.
It's just a bad look.
@camsmith86:
I understand all that and the deal was clearly a disaster. Thing to remember, especially at this time of year is that it's not the stores fault. We cop it pretty hard, for example today i did a normal weeks sales, we do have a lot on our plates and a lot of irate customers for multiple reasons. I don't consider this a reason to not shop with us. If everyone wants to keep Dans honest and prices low, First Choice needs to be in the market.
does not work
Pretty poor form to have a promo and re-neg on it, hope they honor paid orders as I'm still waiting for a SMS from orders yesterday made at 7pm.
same issue here …. store for pickup has been trading for over 5 hours and isnt exactly a high volume one and yet no SMS …. charged the CC and all.
are you gonna call them? in same situation
i left feedback on glo. as it turns out a few hours later i get a call. apparently the store i selected had no stock and no one bothered to notify me. but the call centre did transfer my order to another store close by which did show stock so now i can go collect it apparently, but i havent received an SMS from the new store as yet (mind you Xmas eve i doubt i will few for a long time).
at least the resolved the issue (for now) but it appears the have some serious system failures. you reckon internally there should have been a flagged alert for an online order with no stock for C&C wouldnt you.
Poor show First Choice. If this is the way you're wanting to represent yourselves - as basically liars - (code valid til the end of the month) then fair play to you.. But I for one won't be shopping there in the future due to this crap.
Considering their prices I wouldn't normally shop there anyway, uncle Dan's is always cheaper. This one time 1st choice is cheaper with a code and they dick me like dcksmith.
I have quite the opposite experience when it comes to prices. Two items I bought were (and still are) significantly cheaper than Dan's.
Jacobs Creek sparking Rose $9.95 @ Dan, $8 @ 1stChoice. Annie' Lane Riesling $14.99 at Dan's, $11 at 1stChoice.
In fact, I wandered through Dan's yesterday and did not find anything worth the price they charged. Ended up price matching 1st Choice to get a well priced drop.
Not too impressed with the way the 1st Choice site works.
Started placing an order just before midnight - On the Order Confirmation screen the price jumps by $10 without warning.
do not agree, went to 1stchoice this morning to pick my one and only order, the manager told me that someone placed 25 orders for $1 each, they had to cancel them all and stop the voucher, some people here never know when to stop!
Code did not worked.
Nyz got
1 glenfodich 12y for 52
1 glenlovet 12y for 55
And a bottle of wine for $ 7
Cost 102.60 with TM discount + 30 cash back+ 1000 fluybiys bonusWork out good. 35 for a 12 y whisky no complaints.
well i just called them about my order that was placed 11pm last night. apparently they didnt get any orders go through their store (port Melb) last night and told me to take it up with customer hotline… ?
anyone else get this response.
update:
refunded
Got an email about multiple orders but only placed one!
No SMS yet. Not sure what is going on.Rang them, Cancelled.
Apparently breach of T & C as this code is only for people that have an account but never ordered.
Bad PR move IMHO they can get stuffed will remember this and avoid spend there unless there is an extreme bargain.
They can get f-ed.this happened to me as well, but their excuse was " we made a mistake, we'll put your order through again but you won't be able to click n collect til next week"
I love the OZB community but its seems there's more and more people taking the piss which wrecks it for others.
This type of behavior creates an attitude to "not share" specific deals so one can make sure their order goes through
Yes, it is disappointing the amount of greed in some people and this greed affects others as showcased in this very deal.
Probably the most amount of orders they have ever received. Back to Dan's it is.
yeah whoever did the T&C's didn't do their job, having a number of ways that one could easily take the piss is what frustrates me….should of had a min order value and had an identifier for household/name/card
that way everyone's happy and people have a positive view of 1st choice (a place i would of never shopped previously)Correct it was bombarded with multiple orders from the same person in a lot of stores. Had everyone just taken advantage of the code once it may not have been pulled, or atleast not as quickly. It was raised from store level as multiple orders with the same name were flowing through, stores assumed it was an error so rightly escalated it.
1) Used code for my first order last night for a $11 item, click and collect at VIC PORT MELBOURNE STORE.
2) Got a email today saying something like they cancelled my orders as I cannot use code for multiple orders.(BUT I ONLY ORDERED 1 THING, AND WAS MY FIRST ORDER!!!)
3) Called them up this afternoon to be told they made a mistake and that he would put the order through again but I can't collect until next week!!! DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY , poor form FIRST CHOICE!!!
In saying that when we launched click and collect 3 weeks ago there was a 2000 bonus flybuys points offer that weekend which was when i recieved the most orders and actually had customers apologising for using it to get the points!
damn, the code doesnt work anymore! missed out

Well this is a fantastic price for Bombay Sapphire. At $30 click and collect I think this is the cheapest price this gin ever posted to OzBargain. I've just ordered a bottle for myself.
Good find tonester.
