Hey guys! It's my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right :) I've lurked around here for a while scouting out for an iPad and I think this is the lowest it's ever been. Perfect for students who want to use it for note-taking and just light browsing and stuff. Hope you enjoy.
does ow pricematch with tobydealsau?
Usually only on a case by case basis. If the model/product is for instance identical. i.e Colour, capacity, and model is the same stocked at Officeworks.
Which being as this is a grey import ( Hong Kong) model and not an Australian based model. As they clearly don't declare the model series number in the description of the product page.. e.g MW742X/A ( which is the Australian based model number)
So it's not viable for price matching…
Also, Apple will honor the 1 year international warranty on it. But not the 2 year one you would receive with the Australian model due to the ACCC compliance on electronic devices. Especially, ones from Apple Australia.
However, can try your luck ?
iPad Warranty is local only, not international
@jimbobaus: Oh Yes.. You’re absolutely correct… It’s The Apple Computer’s that have international warranty. I got them mixed up.
Thanks for your input, Champ :)
just rang OW, they declined to price match… would be keen to know if someone else was able to successfully price match.
Just buy it from TobyDeals
@bargain ben: IMHO not worth it. With GC price comes down to around $425. Saving few bucks doesn't make much sense. If price match would have worked, it would have been a killer deal…
@Gusper: as an example, with current price at OW ($469), I can use 10% discounted gift card to bring down cost to $422.10
call them again.
Last week I pricematched 3 x ipads + 2x apple watches. It call comes case by case, try another operator.
@Cisco123: Please let us know if you have success. I tried last week and the call center operator declined saying Tobydeals was shipped from overseas with a different product code. If you successful can you provide the first name of the person you spoke with? Thanks
@optimusprime: No luck. It seems there was a company wide memo to decline price match with Tobydeals
They go out of their way to triple check when price-checking local retailers, so I have no-doubt they won't price match an online HK seller.
they will, it all depends on the call centre operator
How much does this usually go for when on specials
10% off RRP is the norm.
Any confirmed stock?
Grey import?
Yes.
Somebody price matched this with OW its a HK model as well.
I'm waiting on a deal with digit 3 in the front. OW price match might do the trick. I'll try my luck tomorrow at store.
$469 at Big W and Officeworks for local stock.
I was trying to price match when it was 439$ with OW, local store was good but had no stock, and the operators aren't willing the match the 3 times I called. Ended up getting them to pricematch Big W and getting it for 445$ and I definitely say the 30$ is worth the peace of mind that comes with ACL protections.
On top of the peace of mind you speak of from paying $30more, you have also contributed around $40 in GST alone, plus other helpful taxes going to the Aussie economy which Toby deal skirts. This fact alone is enough for me to buy locally.
So you mean Big W will price match this?
No, I got OW to pricematch $469 price Big W had.
Be warned many ozbargainers have had bad experiences with tobydeals, me included. Never buying from then again.
I purchased 2 phones last year from tobysdeals postage was fast never had any problems
Agree, have nothing but good things to say about them. Luck of the draw
Matched an iPad with tobydeals at office works just before Christmas without an issue. Depends on who you get.
if you get in early on these cheap deals i think its great. Ive had good experiences with them (took 8 days only to get a phone delivered last time) but atm a bad one lol
im still waiting on my phone which has taken 2 weeks to process and its still out of stock apparently…yet they are selling the same one still!
So apparently Officeworks do not price match Grey imports ? I spoke to the manager who confirmed the same?????
I tried 3 OW and 2 JB, no luck, giving up.
Pricematch at ow to sweeten the deal!
