UPDATE: Many users are reporting cancelled orders due to a pricing error

Amazon have now started emailing to advise of the cancellation and are giving $30 vouchers per order. You can check your coupons here. For the record my order of 3 was cancelled and I received the $30 gift voucher too. The drives would have been great but I'm also pretty happy with this compensation. Congratulations to anyone who gets their order delivered.

Insane price for the 10TB WD My Book external hard drive. Limit to 3 per customer, and remember to use cashback. I grabbed 3 for $389.52 + Free Delivery with Prime.

Features

Auto backup with included WD Backup software and Time Machine compatibility
Password protection with hardware encryption
Trusted storage built with WD reliability
USB 3.0 port; USB 2.0 compatible
3-year manufacturer's limited warranty

        Actually cancelled my prime right after I made the order! Lol

      • Yummy on 22/05/2019 - 22:25

        $10 credit per day.

      • superm86 on 22/05/2019 - 22:34

        I don't think they actually deduct money before shipping

        • mahdoo on 22/05/2019 - 22:39

          They usually place a hold on your account, (To pre authorise the payment, ensuring you have the money available) whether that shows up to you or not depends on the bank/card type.

          After x number of days, the hold expires, and the funds can be used again

  • Kafkaesque on 22/05/2019 - 22:22

      Lets say 24k clicks are potential buyers x $30. Amazon has made losses of $720k for their error.

      Might as well sell the damn thing at loss rather than face 24000 grumpy customers LMAO.

      • Echelen on 22/05/2019 - 22:32

        As much as it annoys me, especially after them sitting on it for 3 days, what is anyone going to do? Stop buying from one of the largest shops in the world?
        Besides, it's not that bad an outcome. I mean, if I see any opportunity to go greed hard on the Amazon chat for more I will, but a $30 gift card for a minor inconvenience is better than I'd get from any of my local shops.

        • Yummy on 22/05/2019 - 22:36

          Good gesture is better than nothing I suppose. AT least they tries to win their customers back.

          And if compared to ebay… Amazon is the sky, and ebay is the 5-10% poop.

      • lemonato on 22/05/2019 - 23:00

        They will still likely turn a profit after everyone's next order or two. This is probably their biggest price error to date by volume, and I'll take $30 bucks any day over the middle finger that you get from most other price errors.

      • Smigit on 22/05/2019 - 23:55

        That’s 24k users that are going to buy something with the voucher, and many will buy something much more than $30 worth. Compare that to them continuing to sell the HDD where they were probably making a $100 to $200 loss and I can’t see how it’s bad business.

        Half of the people ordering on Sunday were doing so fully expecting and hoping theyd get a voucher as it was acknowledged it was likely a pricing error. $30 exceeds what most were expecting too.

    Now that we all convinced ourselves we really needed a new HDD, a lot of those $30 coupons will be going toward new portable drives.

    What's the best value?

    I was one of first to order, but still had it cancelled and received a $30 voucher. Thanks Amazon, I'll wait for a Paperwhite special.

        Go and cancel your Prime membership, you then can select to go to the end of your paid up month, or cancel right away and get the $6.99 back. I just did it just then and got a full refund of the month of Prime.

        • roofyapple on 22/05/2019 - 23:19

          I don’t get it, isn’t the first month free anyway? Why they charge you $6.99

          • Nousernamehere on 22/05/2019 - 23:21

            @roofyapple: Because most of us on here have already used our free trial on previous Amazon deals…

        • siuol on 22/05/2019 - 23:30

          Thanks for the tips, tried just now and can only get $3.5 back…

          • Nousernamehere on 22/05/2019 - 23:32

            @siuol: When did you sign up for it, just for this deal? Had you used any of the Prime membership benefits at all?

            • siuol on 22/05/2019 - 23:34

              @Nousernamehere: it was on the day when this deal came up. No other benefits were used

              • Nousernamehere on 22/05/2019 - 23:38

                @siuol: Hmm weird. When I cancelled just before I got the email from Amazon which did say

                Since you have not used your Amazon Prime benefits, we are refunding you $6.99 which includes the full membership cost and any applicable fees and taxes

                What did your cancellation email say?

    • kurephos on 22/05/2019 - 23:35

      FWIW, I did the same thing. Contacted Amazon support and they agreed to cancel my Prime (seems like they just cancel the auto-renewal since I still have Prime until the end of the month) and refunded me the monthly Prime fee.

  • NamTaf on 22/05/2019 - 22:53

    Got a $30 voucher as well.
    If you plan to use cashrewards or similar, the voucher voids it.
    So if your planned cashback is > $30, try and use the voucher on something else first.

    I had $1 credit left from an old voucher and did a large order…it used the $1 credit/voucher and I wasn't awarded the cashback :-(

    • TomGum on 22/05/2019 - 23:01

      I'm not following you. I need a real life example.

          I thought they changed that?

          Cashback is only payable on order value (excludes taxes, shipping and packaging costs) and as of 6th May 2019, is valid on orders paid for with gift cards

          • Elijha on 23/05/2019 - 08:07

            @Autonomic: Sorry no Idea. I was just translating the convoluted statement above.

  • Nousernamehere on 22/05/2019 - 23:01

    Mine cancelled as well and like the rest got the $30 credit. Was hoping I could use that to pay for a yearly Prime membership but sadly wouldn’t let me.

    Signed up for 1 month of Prime for the free shipping for this order, went to cancel it and was given a full refund of the $6.99 for the month so I’m pretty happy with that. Didn’t cost me anything in the end, but would have loved that 10TB to finally backup my server and wipe it fresh!

    • RocketSwitch on 22/05/2019 - 23:25

      You mean, started a chat and asked for a refund.

      • Nousernamehere on 22/05/2019 - 23:29

        No, just went through the cancellation option for Prime (on their website/app) and it gave me the option to either change it a yearly membership (and be credited the $6.99 I’ve paid), continue with the month and not be charged after that, or cancel it immediately and get a full refund of $6.99 for the month I’ve paid.

        This only works though if you haven’t used the benefits of the Prime membership (which I only signed up for the free postage for this deal).

        • RocketSwitch on 22/05/2019 - 23:34

          Nice, didn't know that. Mine didn't have that option, probably because I cancelled it before this order got cancelled.

  • thonk on 22/05/2019 - 23:01

  • Shekster on 22/05/2019 - 23:02

    Don't really see why so many people are complaining about the order being cancelled.

    You'd be deluded to think that wasn't a pricing error. Amazon has every right to not sell it.

    Instead, we should all be happy that we got $30 credit for free. If anything, this further emphasises (IMO at least), how good Amazon's customer service is because the second I saw this posted on Ozbargain, I knew there was literally no downside to me ordering 3 as I would either;

    • Get 3x 10TB drives for a cracking price. Could easily sell one and make the other 2 effectively free
    • Have the order cancelled, but have the peace of mind that Amazon would never take my money until after they've shipped the item. Not to mention the possibility of Amazon credit.
  • isthisreallife22 on 22/05/2019 - 23:03

    Damn was hoping for the best… bought my NAS last Thurs in the PHOENIX deal and had bought some WD Red but cancelled the order when this much better option arose. Guess it's back to the drawing board on that one

    Oh well

  • Naed on 22/05/2019 - 23:10

    For anyone who got more than 1 voucher on the same account I'd suggest spending it quickly. People who ordered multiples but got only 1 $30 voucher are likely going to complain and the jig might be up on your multiple vouchers. Just a thought.

    • snvl on 22/05/2019 - 23:20

    • Smigit on 22/05/2019 - 23:47

      Doubt it. The vouchers there as an act of good will. Taking that away doesn’t accomplish that after they already stuffed up, and it doesn’t help those that only got one voucher.

      • pinkybrain on 23/05/2019 - 08:08

        yes, if they take away the voucher after they give it due to their stuff up…

        that would just make the customer even more angry..

    • snackerjoe on 23/05/2019 - 06:15

      Can you use the multiple vouchers on one order? I only got one order through and so got one voucher anyway. Anyone complaining about multiple vouchers has a massive case of sour grapes.
