Moved to Forum: Original Link
Tried adding 2 to cart, total was $0, however I couldn't proceed to payment. Added another one, promotional code was applied automatically. Total $78 for 3.
Edit: Add the cheapest item you can find (easternculture found sim card) and complete payment
Mod 8/1: Users who purchased 3 for $78, 2 for $8 or similar combinations have had their orders cancelled during the past week. Refunds have started today. Moved to forum as a confirmed price error.
This is going to be the first store to get ozbargined of 2018. The poor souls who will have to deal with this later today :P
Oh well, purchased 3 delivered anyway!
On the flip side, if enough are sold there might be a humorous article about how the no-good ozbargain community hacked the good guys.
$770k pff, I'm sure this deal has beaten that by now :)
JB hifi owns them and JB are renowned for stuff like this. In 2017, it happened with PS plus.
Would not be honored.
I managed to get the payment processed 2 for $8 and charged to my credit card. But there was an error message : The store has encountered a problem processing the last request. Try again later. If the problem persists, contact your site administrator.
Paypal still works
I used paypal which linked to my credit card
Same… But even tho receiced the error, I also got PayPal and tgg confirmation email.
Just ordered 2 for $0 and $8 postage !!! Fingers crossed
I did postage too as it wouldn't allow me to pick up.
Me too
The store has encountered a problem processing the last request. Try again later. If the problem persists, contact your site administrator.
Awaiting for complaints in a days time…
made two orders
1 for pick up
and another for delivery
just in case one slips through.
street smarts :P
what if both slip through?
Then my new name will be Broden i guess. lol
New year, new Broden?
Buying for the Apologies Vouchers.
ooh whats that?
Usually when TGG has a pricing error, they apologies by giving out $X vouchers.
How much are you expecting the voucher to be?
the JB voucher when they stuffed up the PS plus deal was $15, i got 2 vouchers but they only honoured one as the apology was limited to one per customer not account.
amazon did $25 when they stuffed up the logitech speakers and mu.tocok,res.
They hold your money and refund later. Good way to stop you buying up elsewhere waiting for your refund or thinking it will be honored. Worth a shot though.
Pay after delivery.
They can hold my $8
Works out to ~$8-10 for 2 delivered.
Couldn't find something available for pick up (didn't thought of sim card :p). Added a cheapest hairdryer so it's 19.95 for 2 Google Home Mini plus hairdryer. Let's see how they deal with this when they finished partying…
Worth a shot even if I don’t know what these damn things do! Want to know the weather? Look outside….damn I’m getting old.
Lol. I am not convinced I really need something else talking to me; firstly that bland voice on Navigation "… At the next roundabout take the third left exit …" Then Siri "I do not understand what you are saying …" totally did my head in!
I think I grew old before you did.
So did what most people would do and try and find the next cheapest thing available for pickup.
Vertical Double Adaptor for $2.95.
Just ordered 2 for delivery $8 total. This should be interesting
Don't forget CashRewards! Lol
CRAP!
THAT'S IT IM ASKING FOR A REFUND TO REORDER.
Noooo! No one call TGG
I wonder how many man hours+pay are wasted with this sort of pricing errors on the good guys side.
very little time is wasted on this ….. their stats show unusual demand which people look at and then they search on every order that includes a google mini with total order of less than say $20 so you have found the ozbargainers ….. orders of a high value eg $1000 somebody also ordered a fridge they will check manually incase the order is profitable and wouldnt be many of those.
not much labour required to fix this problem from locating and refunding orders perspective, it’s more their brand reputation and how to fix that that is time consuming.
Vouchers boiii
showed $NaN on the order email. lol-
You just need some $CuRrY to go with it.
if you buy 3 it shows
GOOGLE
$78.00 AUD 3 $234.00 AUD
Discounts & Other Payments
-$148.00 AUD 1 -$148.00 AUD
looks more legit than the $NaN
Heh tried the 3 for $86 delivered, as well as the 2 for $8 delivery. Maybe one lot will go through, but I highly doubt it. Doesn't hurt to try I guess
I was able to get 3 delivered, let's hope they honoured it lll
Done the same.. Lets see :-) Happy New Year to all Ozbargainers by the way!!
They are definitely slashing prices!!!!
Your order has been received…
Thanks OP Ordered two for $0 with $8 postage..hopefully they honor 😁
Hey guys,
a quick heads up. Even if you got the error message, check your bank account to see if you got charged before trying to buy again.
I got charged the 8 dollars!
Hopefully theyll honor it.
Thanks mate. Just checked and got charged even with the error msg.
I look forward to reading the angry anti-tgg posts when they dishonor this "deal".
Well found though OP. Kudos. Keep them on their toes.
Just ordered two for $8… had to get in on the first blunder of the new year.
It will be interesting to see what happens.
time of year to get the $10 coupoon
Thanks bud, ordered 7 all up. Lol
Chances of them honoring are slim though
Can't hurt to try right?
as in 7 orders = 14?
No 3 separate orders of 2, 2 & 3
Can you please share where you bought the Broden handbook?
Well, it didn’t take long for them to literally give these away.
What utter ridiculousness. Apparently my address in metro Brisbane is unable to be delivered to… And the nearest store that I can pick up from "can't be picked up from this store" after I get to paypal.
So apparently it's impossible to buy from GG in Brisbane?
Yeah, I had the same thing, PayPal never worked because they address kept getting changed and my address isn't in their validation thingy. Ended up doing credit card direct and it eventually worked. Though the confirmation page and confirmation page list different delivery addresses (the confirmation email says it will be delivered to my billing address….)
try different web browser. it works for me I am in Brisbane.
Issue is if your PayPal address doesn't exactly match the address you previously entered and/or the address that you put in via PayPal can't be automatically validated. Nothing to do with Brisbane specifically.
The pick up was available for Charcoal at Lutwichye then it says not available for pick-up when I refreshed. So, I tried another colour for pickup and Lutwichy and it did go through.
Tried both colours, got same error both times.
Check ur email. I got charged even with the error.
Ordered 2 for $8 delivered. It's been a happy new year this far.
Keep getting Error:PayPal payment has not gone through, please try again. :( Help!
check your paypal and emails because you might be getting charged, happened to me but checked my emails and sure enough I got charged and order went through
Nope account isn't charged no emails no confirmation emails
Their address validation thing doesn't like PayPal. Try paying with credit card.
Just out of curiosity, I ordered 3 for $78 for pick-up. Do I get 6 or 3 if they honor it because the web page says you get 2 for 1 transaction.
Step 1: Let a=b.
Step 2: Then a^2 = ab,
Step 3: a^2 + a^2 = a^2 + ab,
Step 4: 2 a^2 = a^2 + ab,
Step 5: 2 a^2 - 2 ab = a^2 + ab - 2 ab,
Step 6: and 2 a^2 - 2 ab = a^2 - ab.
Step 7: This can be written as 2 (a^2 - a b) = 1 (a^2 - a b),
Step 8: and cancelling the (a^2 - ab) from both sides gives 1=2.
Lol. You are incorrect because (a^2-ab) equals zero so dividing by zero is impossible.
Although that's what this deal feels like :)
Step 8 is flawed as you cannot divide both sides by (a^2 - ab) which is 0
2 plus 2 is 4 minus 1 that’s 3, quick maths!
Your order probably will be honoured. They will send you two units. You've paid for one with $78 and get a bonus second, just like they advertised "Receive 2 for the price of 1".
But I bet you're not gonna be happy then.
If they honor it you will likely to get one for $78.
I think I should get at least two for $78 because that is what they advertised for even though they do not honor the first two for the glitch.
2 for $8. haha… let's wait and see!
I just bought 2 for $8 with shipping through PayPal. I got confirmation of payment from PayPal as well as order confirmation from TGG. Let's hope they do honour it.
Some poor guy is probably getting "The Sack" in the new year.. feel sorry for him/her…
Their fault entirely
Tough crowd. Fired for a mistake? Unlikely. It’s tgg issue if they don’t have to correct policies & procedures in place to test/ detect/ flag these issues before they become active or blow out like this.
Nah I don't think it works like that… I think there would be an incident raised with a report. The root cause would be identified and if the cause is negligence, then the person who was negligent will have his life turned upside down.
Dang…bargain hunters, hardcore to the bone, celebrating new year by buying stuff. Well..I'm in, just got 2 for $8. Btw, Happy New Year everyone, may the Bargain God bless us with a bountiful bargain in 2018.
Purchased 2 for $8!
Used CR for 2.50%
Used PayPal
Great way to kick off the new year. I’m in on the deal.
8$ for 2 Google Home Minis delivered. Let’s see what happens.
This is really hard to do while drunk
Purchased!!! Good luck on the first day of the new year!
An hour and a half into the new year with more than 3000 clicks. Ordered 2 for $8. Not holding my breath though.
I cannot choose C&C so I had to pay $86 for 3 to be delivered. Got confirmation that the charge was done to my credit card, but no order confirmation from TGG.
You should get a order confirmation, I got 1 TGG for each of orders
You can Also get 3x white ones and 3x black ones for $78
Someone got onto the new ears eve drinks before clocking off work.
if they honour then we are going to make google mini worldwide shortage.
Humm just bought 2 for $8 white ones… should I buy another 2 charcoal ? Maybe I can put one in the bathroom as well …
you need a couple more to make surround sound.
I'm in!
