Happy Friday OzBargain!
For this weekend (25th-27th October 2019), we're offering FREE delivery, Australia-wide, with no minimum spend across everything on our site!
If you were holding back on that new Gaming Chair, Huge Monitor, or Gaming PC, then jump on this!
Deal ends at midnight on Sunday the 27th of October 2019.
Definitely bargains for people like me who live in places with no good computer shops. The free delivery very nice. Just by chance I have been eying off a bulky PC case on their site but the delivery was a deal breaker. Looks like I'm buying it RN.
E-bay delivery is nice but the selection of items is usually second rate when it comes to cases etc.
Ah ok, at least someone is getting a deal. Everything I'm interested in is more expensive than eBay and Amazon
Probably going to be cheaper for me on ebay too most of the time, but as I was saying the selection on there and amazon is pretty bad when it comes to PC cases - and I can't just drive around the corner to pick one up for a decent price locally.
Yep. Free delivery.
I've looked up some items (monitors, gaming mice, etc.) and nothing is cheaper than other places I've been looking at (identical products btw).
Free delivery doesn't warranty a bargain if the price of the items aren't already competitively priced.
Perhaps I'm looking for the wrong things (maybe bulky items might be worthwhile) but so far nothing seems like a bargain.
Competitive prices, free delivery. Probably going to benefit large items mostly. If you don't need the delivery aspect it's only competitive.
So what's actually cheap compared to your competitors?
Free shipping is good but at ozbargain we look at the total price…
He said cheap compared to competitors. Not hard to work out that he's asking what can he get for a lower price here than elsewhere.
@Ulysses31: Not at all. Now you're saying if a different product which is better costs more, then it's fine. That's obvious - but if the same product can be had elsewhere cheaper, then there's no deal here.
I live in Darwin, the 'competitors' here probably charge double and have 1/40th of the level of stocked items. Free delivery nation wide is a pretty sweet deal for me, as long as it isn't on ebay or amazon for less.
not willing to buy cheap crap.
I started buying the cheapest cables for everything figuring I'd save money even if some failed.
Thing is none have failed.
Currently surfing the net via 50m Cat6 ethernet that was five bucks.
I'm hearing ya man. But surfing the internet isn't quite shifting Terabytes. Everyone's usage scenario is different, so thankfully there's tons of options.
I'm currently in the market for high-end cable, for an extensive install. For the total exercise, I see no point in scrimping pennies per metre.
Replaced my awesome bang for buck HD I cable last week. The new one was still very well priced. And everything looks better, and now allows features the other couldn't.
The old cable still has a purpose, but it's pushed down the line.
@Ulysses31: Just making sure you were talking about HDMI. And I get what you are saying, but you threw me off with "everything looks better" since that won't apply to non HDR content.
I've had issues in the past with bad HDMI cables that were expensive - have had better luck with the cheap ones.
Thing is none have failed. Currently surfing the net via 50m Cat6 ethernet that was five bucks.
you need to look at interface errors to determine cable (and transmission) quality. TCP protocol compensates for errors through retransmission and reduction of transmit widow size.
It's all the same products though. Scorptec don't manufacture what the sell.
I did the same thing. I bought cheap 5 metre flat HDMI cables from MSI. I chased them into a solid brick wall, around 30 90 degree bends, then plastered it up. Within 2 years each of the cables degraded and now they struggle to carry a 1080p signal. They carried 4K HDR no problems when new. The constantly drop out and are essentially useless. I tried to use the remaining cables as a guide to pull new cables through, but the heads of the new cables cant make it past the last two 90 degree bends without getting caught. I've snapped 2 HDMI cables trying to pull a new cable through. I've got one degraded cable left in the hole, and basically I screwed myself by buying cheap cables.
@[Deactivated]: One of many situations I'm trying to avoid.
Agonising over what point-to-points I'll do pvc conduit. Apart from entertainment unit to PJ, probably from server cab on ground floor to 1st floor roof. Then can at least add 1st floor options easy, top plate access.
centrecom has had free shipping over $79 for years now…
scorptec have amazing customer service.
agreed. they blow PCCG out of the water in price, customer service, and delivery time in my experience.
How is their shipping times? I ordered a few components from mwave last saturday and regretting it. Its coming on tuesday(thats 9 days) and everything was at stock at mwave.
Yup. I made the same mistake of assuming that their standard shipping would be next day. Officeworks do it, Kogan does it, Amazon does. PCCG you can expect your stuff well over a week later, two weeks in the case of my last order ever with them.
@AustriaBargain: Thanks for headsup about PCCG. I have received most of the items from Amazon-US under 10 to 12 days and that shipping was free. Local shipping of 9 days is pathetic. Thats 10km/hour average speed LOL from NSW to Cairns. Even my order from bulk nutrients(Tasmania) which is a cheap protein powder reached me in 2 days.

I wouldn't call the 860 EVO 500GB at $109 a bargain as such, but if they're cheaper elsewhere I'd happily be proven wrong.
bought the lian-li 011 dynamic white, free shipping, thanks scorptec.
I could just drive there.
Unless you get free fuel, no maintenance costs on your car and your time is worth nothing, then free delivery is a bargain… I believe that is the spirit of this site is, right?
I love ScorpTec, I've bought all my hardware there. I love how I can see my order history, and click through to items I bought years ago. The staff there really know what they're talking about. I often laugh when I overhear the crap some salespeople tell their customers at other stores, but at ScorpTec I find myself nodding along in agreement. Sometimes I even learn a thing or two. I also love how simple RMAs are, I even returned a three year old SSD and got a replacement in a couple of weeks, although, it did have a five year warranty.
But since moving house it's hard for me to get to their stores, and I was disappointed when I saw how much postage was. Sometimes postage was more expensive than the smaller items I wanted, so I've shamefully gone to Amazon.
As a side note, I just got a shock when I went to see how long I've been a customer and saw that I had spent $27k since 2003!
Clever marketing but no bargain here UNLESS you buy BULKY items which are costly to ship, especially if you live in REMOTE places. Keep this in mind before you complain.
Well the acer nitro xv723kp is on sale for $899, I finally pulled the trigger with pccg and paid the shipping two days ago after waiting for a better deal. Granted their eBay store has it and using a coupon makes it 910, I chose pccg since I want it faster.
Down from like 1100-1300 or more depending on where you look. Same price as a few others but free shipping makes it appealing :)
Was looking for a Vertical GPU Bracket and $65 at scortech vs $59 at PCCG
not bad not bad.
Anyone know if a vertical GPU bracket is better than a universal vertical GPU holder?
Been eyeing off a new case and really wasn't looking forward to the $20+ shipping regardless of where I bought from. Glad to see this, and Scorptec has always been a favourite store of mine so happy to stop by.
Any bargains?
