Hi OzBargin!
My name Charlotte and I am the official rep for TecoBuy!
I have an exclusive OzBargin coupon code for the Google Home Hub that takes 5% off the pre-shipping price on both the US and AU versions 😊
Use the code [ HOMEHUB ] for…
Google Home US Version (White or Charcoal) – A$ 101.65 + A$15 Delivery
Google Home AU version (White or Charcoal) – A$ 121.6 + A$15 Delivery
Was about to buy.
You are doing the Lord's work, my bargain brother.
Happy I could be of help of a fellow ozbargainer… Cheers
Interesting….
Anything to say about this, OP?
Hi Cmaz, could you give us your order number as our team usually responds in less than 24 hours and at most 48 hours.
We want to help you get to the bottom of this!
3 weeks would be pretty quick, as you could be waiting longer similar to aliexpress suppliers
exclusive OzBargins coupon
Maybe get the name right first…
Oz bar gins. And tonic.
Charlotte - care to elaborate on Cmaz's issue. Good thing is at least they accept paypal.
Yes they do accept paypal but in my experience it's not always about money. You are the one who pay for the item, wait patiently for the item only to find out its not coming anyway so you claim a dispute to wait another couple of days. I find it to be frustrating and useless effort to be honest.
The TrustPilot reviews are not inspiring confidence. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.tecobuy.com
They seem to be a bit dodgy
It's a classic scam. Reputable companies spell check their work, scammers don't. Spot the error¿
Tecobuy are a DWI/eGlobal owned site FYI:
dwidigitalcameras.com
eglobalbeauty.com.au
eglobalcentralau.com
eglobaldigitalcameras.com.au
tobydealsau.com
tecobuy.com
Nowadays they are using the Tobydeals website (the DWI/eGlobal sites all closed down), Tecobuy seems to be another new one.
So is that good or bad? Okay to buy or buyers beware?
DWI/eGlobal/Tobydeals were/are generally known to have reliable delivery (items usually come in a week or less via courier from HK), but little to no warranty if something goes wrong (the risk you take for paying less). Basically purchase under the assumption that you have no warranty and determine if the risk (no warranty) is worth the saving; this will differ depending on the item type, item price, the person's circumstances etc.
Always pay by PayPal of course as well, in case your item is DOA or something goes wrong with delivery and the company doesn't help you out.
It's worth noting that Google has just announced a 10" home hub and a US$25 price reduction to the original home hub. Commensurate reductions due in all markets.
They've also renamed both devices the Nest Home Hub.
Placed an order three weeks back still not shipped and no response from support team too. Had to go through PayPal now. There is a reason all the product in their website are cheap coz you are never getting one. Please avoid.
