        Easy, just asked a guy where the echos was, he said the ones at $49, they had been put behind the till hence the price error. The girl went to scan came up at $149, shouted the guy back over and he shown her it said $49 on his hand held price checker and honoured it. Bonus. Think was lucky.

  • Anyone have any luck collecting their pickup order after receiving the cancellation email?

    • I got cancellation email after I picked the order

    • Yeah I picked it up an hour after cancellation.

    • picked it up two hours after receiving cancellation email. Funny part's that while the lady was handing over the product, the other lady was telling the price changed and not to honour anymore. lucky me!

  • Called up multiple stores, they are telling me its 149 :/

  • Thanks, got one on my walk this morning. Didnt really think of how good a deal it was. They had quite a few there. More worried about my partner cracking it 😅

  • Gallaries town hall has a few display boxes. The cashier was reluctant but ended up honouring it

    damn missed out…

    anyone willing to sell one of theirs? lol

  • JB Hi fi has sent an email declining the sale and the refund processing as it was a pricing error

    We can confirm that the AMAZON ECHO 3RD GEN SMART SPEAKER (CHAR) was advertised for a short time on our website with a pricing error.

    In accordance with our terms and conditions, we will not be honouring this price.

    Please refer to the below link and please refer to 7. Cancellation of orders - 7.1 (c) for our full terms and conditions.

    If your payment method was gift card, please allow 1-3 business days for a replacement card to be emailed to you.

    We sincerely apologise for the error and any inconvenience caused.

  • For the people that have already received/collected theirs, is it definitely the 3rd gen? The 3rd gen is showing as pre-order on the JBHIFI website, which would suggest that the in-store stock is probably only Gen 2?

    • +1

      I can confirm 100% 3rd gen!

    • +1

      3rd gen. says on the box.

      • Thanks for confirming, definitely a bargain in that case!

    I ordered one in the morning from jbhi airport West shopping centre got an SMS and went to pick up straight away and they had me wait for 10 minutes and then told sorry can't honour it cos it's pricing error. Waste of my time really.

    • I got one there early and craigieburn
      Was also told pricing error at airport west but when I orded over the phone they got invoice ready I just walked in and paid

    • i got mine from jbhifi 100 bulla rd. ordered at 9 am picked up at 12 pm. two hours after receiving the cancellation email.

  • +2

    Guys I just did the pickup of my order 9 hours later even though I received the cancellation email no issues with collecting so you should try guys. You will also receive a confirmation email that the collection has happened

    • Same for me, picked up the click and collect order with no problems tonight.

    • +2

      Wa bhi wa!

  • Just went in store out of curiosity to check what it was scanning as, confirmed as full price then sales guy offered it to me for $69. I had click and collect cancelled earlier as well (from a different store)

    Not as good, still took it though as even at that it's a decent price. Painless experience as well so no real haggling or issues at all. YMMV

  • Good price, shame don't work with Google Play music, and still have a Bluetooth Bose SoundLink next to the bed. perhaps a home Mini would be the go with aux out?

    • Neither the 1st nor 2nd Gen Google/Nest Mini’s have an aux out.

  • Just went to check mine at Chadstone VIC and they confirmed it was a price error and I’d receive a refund, didn’t honour it

  • Just collected from jb chatswood, no questions asked.

  • Might need to try my luck in Eastland Vic…

  • Anyone get their refund from paypal yet? Nothing showing for me…

    • jumped back onto this thread to see if anyone else was in the same boat as me. No refund for me either.

      • Same as me. Still no refund, paid via credit card

        • +1

          So, an update. I just went into the store where I made the C & C order to sort it out and get my refund. My order was sat there ready to be collected. They handed it over, no questions asked.

          • @Big Paddy: Ill be heading down tonight also

          • @Big Paddy: What the heck! I just called the store and they said it definately says cancelled in the system and that I should email the head office to enquire as to why I haven't received the refund yet.

            • +1

              @iShibby: Wow, not sure what to tell you. Mine was already bagged up and in the click and collect locker they have at the back of the store. I had an email after saying that I had collected the item

              • +1

                @Big Paddy: Me too. Just went and got mine, had been put aside the whole time…

                • @JuryWheel: I should go down there and ask them to check the “click and collect locker” this is beyond a joke.

                  • +1

                    @iShibby: Give it a go. They have broken their own terms and conditions by not providing a refund within 5 days

      • Yeah I'm still waiting too, disgraceful really! Paid via CC

        • who can we complain to?

    • No refund.Same shit

  • +1

    Still no refund. I can tolerate price errors, but this is ridiculous. I guess I will lodge a refund request directly through paypal if this does not get resolved.

    • Have you tried going in store like the guys above as theirs was waiting for them all week!

    • +1

      I contacted them through the website this morning, and they just got back to me saying "the original refund failed, we've processed it again so should be in your account in 3-5 days".

      Absolute crooks!

      • If some stores are honouring orders 7 days later after cancelling them then they should honour them all?

      • Just got the same email too. Absolute nonsense.
