          I know the Taylors Lakes store had two coppers a few days ago. But they were one of the stores that refused the price match originally.
          The Store near highpoint shopping centre had one too.
          Good luck. It’s like an Easter egg hunt lol

  • My tax return transferred into my account this morning. If it didn’t, I wouldn’t have went to try my luck at Blacktown OW, despite checking online late last night and it said no stock there or nearby.

    They had one left in stock, but they noticed the 1 year warranty on the Becextech site as opposed to their model with the 2 years. Bah!!

    They also said no to matching another OW receipt.

  • So the deal is deal :(

      I'd suggest everyone who wasn't able to get them to price match there own receipts contact officeworks head office or complain and if you want to go 1 step further contact fair trading for a misleading deceptive price match policy nowhere does it go into specifics about identical products and if you want to get technical grey imports and aus stock are still identical products in my opinion warranty is the "product" its something offered after the purchase

      • It would be nice if someone can get some information from ACCC regarding identical product and price match policy. I agree with Ur opinion about being similar product as it is made by Samsung and they cannot say they are going to charge us more for warranty. Looked in the ACCC website and is nothing clearly defined for grey import or price match.

        Tried fair trading thing and got it for $947 for midnight black. Price match against mymobile.com.au. Thanks OP

        • Good to hear i posted your comment on main post i really think if people start threatening to make some noise about there price match policy and misleading / deceptive marketing of it they will either get rid of it / change it or they will sell the phone to you

          What exactly happened when you went to buy it would be great to hear the story haha

        • Can you be more specific?

          I'd love to hear more and actually be able to get the deal as well.

          Thanks!

        • Did you get it from store or 1300 online? The model on mymobile site is grey import with 1 year warranty, as far I know office (doesn't) works denies pricematch due to this very reason.

  • Contacted office(doesn't)works this afternoon, and asked to price match with identical t- dimension note 9 model. The guy came back after consulting his manager with this burb, 'All these websites are currently under investigation of the ACCC. And we will not Price match'. I was like you guys should be under investigation…. Aaah…

    • I'd honestly make a complaint to the Fair trading department

    • I price matched two phones with T-mobile via the 1300 number yesterday

  • Price dropped to AU$994.00 on Becextel website, never ordered from them before, do you guys recommend buying from them?

    • Apparently they had bad reviews but i mean how bad can it really be they have a AU website so im pretty sure that means your protected by consumer law if anything goes bad ? (could be wrong)

      • DO NOT buy from becxetech, NSW department of fair trading had a warning for people not to buy from them and its affiliates which included two other stores if I remember correctly.

    • $75 for postage lol

    • I think Becextech might be struggling since Officeworks gets all the business.

    • They offer payment via Paypal so you do have protection if anything goes wrong.

    Thanks OP and fellow members who posted their receipts.
    Managed to get the last one from Officeworks Minchinbury for $944.30 after pricebeat. The manager tried to refuse at first however agreed when I showed him the receipts from fellow members.

    • How do I post my receipt on here if it helps anyone else ?

  • Lets keep pushing everything to the nth degree untill officeworks just scraps there price match guarantee IMO. Who’s game for a class action?

  • +1

    As with air fare deals, the people that complain to head office are the ones that set off the klaxon. Chill. If you win great, but don't be sour if you don't.

    I think Officeworks honoured the terms of their guarantee here plenty of times, so talk of complaining I think is very unfair. As mentioned, if people push these things too far, then we all lose in the long run - they restrict their guarantee. It's in the nature of Ozbargain that sometimes you win, sometimes you don't make the cut - there are never going to be enough in stock to keep the entire world happy. I think the warehouse stock thing was legit, they definitely ran out in order of colours rather than all at once - which suggests their warehouse system (in NSW at least) really didn't have them (I got one, and that was the feedback in store).

  • CAlled OW, they had last in stock but didnt price match, gave him all the sites mentioned above, becetecgm mymobile. they said these are from HK, grey import, different model number.

    • Another thing i noticed that Note 9 sold by OW is infact dual sim model and therefore no different from the HK models sold by other websites. Whoever rejects the price match claim based on dual sim argument. Tell them to check the phone. Read below article -
      https://www.ausbt.com.au/samsung-galaxy-note-9-will-be-dual-…

      • Check their own website which states dual Sim: yes

  • Might go and try my luck with this tomorrow.

  • I tried to price match today in Perth WA but unfortunately mymobile.com.au is out of stock.

    OW told me that head office has blacklisted becextech.com.au and will not price match becextech.com.au

    Any other option ?

  • I was able to pick this up in Nerang OW but I have the the iPhone X Max, not sure if I should sell that on eBay or return the Note 9? Thoughts?

  • I went to several stores in VIC, ended up finding a copper and paid $1053. Not the amazing prices paid by others, but they were happy to match becextech as long as they added the shipping as well.

  • mymobile.com.au has stock now but OW manager refused to price match mymobile.com.au falsely claiming that mymobile.com.au was black listed in ACCC.

    Others reasons for not price matching were
    Not the same model number
    Not Australian Stock

    Treat of complaining to ACCC and Fair Trading did not work. So I want to complain but one what basis can I complain?

    • Misleading and deceptive price matching policy nowhere does it state anything about model numbers / australian stock / warranty it says identical product plus they've already sold them for $968 with office works receipts there's pretty much no reason why they should decline you

    Awesome deal and great comments. Most stores are out of stock. Called up 1300 number and tried to price beat becextech but was refused. They told me becextech is banned. Even said that providing receipts won't work because they "won't make the same mistakes stores have made". Called them again to price beat T-dimension and they did. Got the last 512GB blue for $1258. Should be able to knock off another $250 with JBL Headphones and the galaxy skin. Yay

    • Can you show me the link to T-dimension for the 512? TIA

    • Any chance of a receipt scan on your 512gb price match @vgrover?

      • I will scan the receipt at home tonight and upload it. Hope it helps

    Got one in Newcastle for 968 :)

    • Which website did you price match with?

      • becextech

    For anyone still following this I had Officeworks give me a quote for $925.30 (using 5% price beat on $974 from https://www.becextech.com.au/catalog/samnote9dual128gbblk-in…).

    Following day I went to pay however they wouldn't honour it as they got in contact with their head office who advised not to honour price matches from Becextech due to ACCC warnings, quoting the ACCC site (https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/catchdeal-techrific-an…)

    Determined to still get it at this price I used the quote Officeworks provided to have David Jones match it, JB and Harvey refused to match.

    Obviously with price matching its very dependent on the sales assistant at the time, worth a shot though. Thanks OP for post.

    • So David Jones matched the quote Officeworks gave you for $925.30?

      • Yes correct. So I have a receipt for $925.30 at DJs and a quote from OW for $925.30

        • Mate, can you share both if possible? Anniversary gift to wife can be cheaper if you can do this favour. Thanks in advance

        • Can you please tell us which DJ store you went to and please can also provide copies of the quote and receipt? Thanks in advance.

        • Same here, please share receipt and copies of quote.

      Here we go, I hope it can help :)

      • Thanks mate. Can you also share copy of your quote from officeworks?

          it's there - just scroll down.

          • @ChronoSphinx: Stupid me.

            • @ashftc: No worries. Good luck, hope you get it.

            • @ashftc: Can you please let me know if DJ matches and which store? thanks.

              • @ClaudeVL: Hey sure will do mate. I am going to try one tomorrow or Monday. If they matches the offer, I will let you know.

              • +1

                @ClaudeVL: Hey so I tried different DJ stores in Sydney and all of them said they won't price match this based on receipt quote from Officeworks. Apparently, they knew the subject of the discussion so looks like other Ozbargainers have already tried this before me. They said we can only price match what's available on the website :( So, No!

                • +1

                  @ashftc: Thanjs fot the update.

                  • @ClaudeVL: All good mate. I am expecting some good deals to show around Black Friday

    • That ACCC press release is from 9 months ago. Becextech most likely selling new phones now. Officeworks looks to be weaseling out of price matching

  • Perth CBD officeworks is not offering pricematch for becextech website. She showed me an email from head office to stop pricematching becextech because they are passing off refurbed models as new and the website was flagged by ACCC as fraudulent.

    Think WA is out of stock of the note 9. O'Connor and Jandakot are showing 2 but are out of stock.

    They showed me on their computer they couldn't order online, but on my computer I could add to card so :(

  • What about JBHIFI would they match? If I showed them that Officeworks has been matching it?

    • No

  • Got it for $925. Great!

  • Hi Guys, Just had Officeworks near me price beat with Becextech.

    $996 for Midnight Black
    $1053 for Copper

    https://imgur.com/21h5o1V

    They were very specific that they wanted to see it on a webpage with the shipping included. Still not a bad deal IMO.

    • Oh, my near one refused to price match with bexcetech. Even the HQ said the same

  • +1

    My local Officeworks declined the price match from Becextech. They even had a paper printed out which the girl behind the counter showed me saying to decline any price matches from Becextech on the grounds that the units they are selling are "refurbished". It was disappointing but I DID manage to get a price match from Catch of the Day. They are selling units online for $1069 (+ free shipping) so I ended up walking out with the Note 9 for $1009. Not the best price match but I guess still a bargain.

    • Mate,which store did you go?

      • Officeworks Liverpool. I think it may have been the last unit though. I called ahead and got them to hold it for me. The website was saying it was all sold out so best bet is to call around.

  • When checking store stock there doesn’t appear to be any when looking online? Have they removed stock levels online and you have to take your chances in store?

  • I ended up buying a HK sourced one for $837. Got it reduced from 1001 to 900 with 10% off ebay discount, then bought some ebay gift cards for 7% off.

    • +1

      Great price.

  • I ended up calling 1300 OFFICE and got a price beat to this $739.10 - https://mymobile.com.au/sam-galaxy-s9-dual-sim-g9600-4g-64gb…

    Though the office works version isn't going to be dual sim.

    • +1

      That's a S9.. not a Note 9 that is being discussed here

      • I know it's a S9. I was sharing for those who might have missed out on the note 9 and don't mind settling for a S9.

  • Seems not all updated about Bexetech… Got a match at Epping.. $996.50 :)

  • Got told Bexetech was banned and anything from HK will be not allowed and websites will be potentially will be banned in future if they haven't already be banned (mymobile, wonda, tobydeals).

    Pretty much has to be exact model number, "N960" and .com.au site.

    Good luck!

  • cannot get anywhere in sydney and online

  • Limited stock Note 9 out there. store that had, Refused to match all including Catch.com.au
