QANTASSTAFF

My first deal post so let me know if I've done anything wrong.

I think this may be a pricing error as the body and 28-70 kit lens is the same price.

The a7iii body went as low as $2000 from memory and the 24-105 went as low as 1500. So if my math is right this particular kit is the cheapest by approx $730.

The cash portion of the purchase also earns you 5541 PTS.

I'm not sure if the Qantasstaff code works (from the Sony WH-1000XM3 post), but if it does it could savd you another 10%.

Has anyone had this shipped at all that didn't use the staffcode? Surely at least someone has this honored?

  If I don’t receive this camera, I will 100% approach the ACCC. I ordered the day before it was posted on ozbargain, pretty much as soon as the special started. For the amount of money it is, I’m fairly confident I would be one the first people to actually place an order. They must have reasonable stock to be able to sell.
  Couple of points:
  - I did not use qantas staff code, but did use Birthday code.
  - I called on the Wednesday (I think?) like everyone else when someone noted their order was put on hold due to security issues. Got the same response, just wait 3 to 5 days for an answer.
  - I live chatted last week and waited in the queue for 45 minutes to be told that I will receive the camera before the 3rd of September. I saved this interaction.
  - NOT ONCE has Qantas actually contacted me.

  I ordered it without using any code.
  
  Qantas emailed me to call them.
  
  When I did, they said the order is cancelled because the supplier cannot provide the cameras and IT WILL NEVER become available.
  
  They offered me 2000 points for the compensation. I have strongly rejected the mere 2000 points.
  
  Very annoyed.
  
  Will approach ACCC.
  - snvl on 31/08/2019 - 13:01
    
    They clearly waiting for people to cancel. Pretty bad approach
  - eggboi on 31/08/2019 - 22:44
    
    Escalate via the Airline Customer Advocate first. Can always go to ACCC later. The airlines pay a fee per complaint that goes through the ACA (industry ombudsman, not to be confused with A Current Affair lol). Once you complain to ACCC, ACA will disregard your claim.
  - Buy2Much on 02/09/2019 - 19:25
    
    2000 points is worth ~ $20. Spare a thought for those who paid $86 for 2000 points top up which Qantas Frequent Flyers refuse to cancel ;-)

There are those who are gutted because they did not get the deal.
There are those who are gutted because they bought 2000 worthless points and QFF refused to refund them (QFF made 400% profit on these points).
There are those who are gutted because of both.
No happy users here. QFF stuffed up goodwill this time.
- eggboi on 02/09/2019 - 12:01
  
  If Qantas refuses to refund the transaction of cash used to purchase points, escalate to the airline customer advocate. This is the worst handling of any deal I’ve ever seen. They clearly never intended to honour it once they discovered they wouldn’t make much money off it.
  - Buy2Much on 02/09/2019 - 19:22

    I recieved the same email :/
yu1isys on 02/09/2019 - 10:40

I did not use a code and ordered it 12/Aug.
Last week, I got a call which I missed and a subsequent email to ask for call back. When I called, the operator said the camera will not be shipped due to the supplier not being able to provide the items. Said, all will be refunded along with 2000 points.
I said, I will have a think about it and call back later.

Is there a way to enforce Qantas to stick to the deal and send me the camera?
Will ACCC or ACA do anything?
I'm thinking of just getting my money back but at the same time I feel so cheated…

  Update
  
  I called QANTAS again.
  To my surprise, they said there has been a recent development towards getting the cameras to stock.
  No specific date was mentioned but asked me to wait for further notice which would be available by late this week.
  Unlike the previous conversation where they just said the camera cannot be stocked, this time around there was much more positive tone to it.
  
  But let's just wait and see what happens.
  I will keep you updated.

Holllllly mollllly:

Email sent today from Qantas at 1:17pm Melbourne time:

Dear Mr. ____,

I can see there's a typo in there, means that a physical person wrote that response to me.

I will keep you all updated if I get delivery details

  edit: now have aus post tracking info for 2 boxes. Service is "Parcel Post" - so it should be 3 days away.
  
  The order status on the qantas website still says "in process", which may possibly never change lol.

  Great Tamron lens choice you've made. There's a rumour there will be a 70-200 f2.8 in future, but I reckon it would still be a while away.

    Should be announced in October, and will likely be 80-180 or 50-150 or some slightly limited focal length in order to keep weight down (in line with their other two zooms). Makes sense because Sony is the second-largest shareholder in Tamron and needs to release lightweight lenses that don't quite directly compete with their G Master line.

Canon RP with 24-105mm f4 lens. $2400 at camera house ebay. might do the trick for some
- Buy2Much on 03/09/2019 - 19:02
  
  Thats a good general purpose lens (rrp 1500 I believe). Usually stays on my camera when I want to travel light and have no expectation of what to take that day.
  - snvl on 03/09/2019 - 19:05

      I was fortunate to score that lens new on EBay for less than that :-) Either way at 2400, that would make the RP a great low cost entry for those wanting to try full frame. It very user friendly from what I read.
