Important updates

  • Customer Service via OzBargain Inbox: In the current environment, I need to ask everyone to please direct all enquiries - status updates, technical support, etc - to either [email protected] or [email protected], not my OzB account, to help us keep every query in the same location. I can't guarantee a reply on OzB at the moment so please don't send anything urgent there.

  • Customer service times are extended at the moment under heavy load, so please understand if it takes more than 24 hours for a reply - you will get a reply as soon as it is possible. We're adding extra staff and resources to deal with the increased volume of enquiries.

  • Dispatch times: Our current shipping estimate is 14 business days for new orders. We're shipping the entire backlog of Intel i7 orders this week after COVID delays, Ryzen 9 systems next week and B450 Mortar orders (also COVID delays, some overdue orders here) will be next week, either with Mortar or equivalent replacement - an email update is coming to customers on that today so please check your inbox later. And all others due around now are very close to shipping - perhaps a couple of days over estimate but catching up quickly.

Thanks, and have a happy Easter (at home).

    Another great deal from Techfast.

    Any chance of being able to replicate this previous deal?

      Waiting on confirmation of availability of RX 580s before posting any more deals for those. Tricky time.

      • Olay on 09/04/2020 - 13:33

        Since you don't have any RX50s could I get that with an RX570

      • Viper18 on 09/04/2020 - 13:36

        Let me know and I'll be first in line =D

        Would also be interested if a rx570 was used instead.

      We do have 570s. Will look at pricing.

        I once sat on 45 days on my delivery and that was non-covid19 days. My order did arrived eventually.

        You're fine. Just be patient.

      • jacksteel on 10/04/2020 - 00:45

        I'm at 22 now :/. Just got an email this evening with an update that stock is due next week for the MSI B450 Mortar Mobo so let's hope it's shipped out next week!

        • jacksteel on 14/04/2020 - 13:57

          Update: Have had great contact/support from Luke and the team. Looks like it'll definitely ship this week, they also offered me alternatives to get it shipped sooner with their current stock.
          They also upgraded my case for the delay so very happy with the service.

      • vid_ghost on 10/04/2020 - 07:35

        I got mine on my 18th business day due to covid… send an email to support they do get back to you.. i had two updates like this. It was great.

      I'm in the same boat. No idea where the AF1600 + RX580 combo is since it was in Startrack hands back on the 31st of March in Adelaide. Not impressed with the lack of communication from Australia Post.

      • amanvell on 09/04/2020 - 14:26
        +1

        I have the exact some problem for my order on 16 March (Sydney). I received a motherboard box yesterday, but the actual computer no updates to tracking since 31 March. Last update from Techfast suggested that I contact Australia Post, and while I've lodged an unreceived package with them I don't think that I should be the one following this up (I don't blame Techfast for the delay, as the world is messed up now, but if multiple customers have the same problem why is it left to us?).

        How does this impact our warranty, as at this rate 4 weeks of the 12 months could have passed before they arrive?

        • Vangard on 11/04/2020 - 12:31
          +1

          Me too. I thought I was the only one. I have received the motherboard box but not the actual PC. It's sitting in SA since 31st March. Local Australia post here in Sydney said to call their support center. No help since they are only receiving calls for people who ordered any medication. I've submitted online enquiry but no response so far. I really hope I get my PC soon.

          • amanvell on 11/04/2020 - 20:24

            @Vangard: Auspost/startrack finally scanned into Syd yesterday (Good Friday) and delivered today, so maybe you'll get yours soon.

            • Vangard on 12/04/2020 - 10:40

              @amanvell: Oh good, lucky you. I just checked mine. It's still in SA and no updates. I'm hoping I'll get some updates on Tuesday.

      • chris666 on 09/04/2020 - 18:43

        Aus post are days behind with everyone panic buying

        • imcold on 13/04/2020 - 08:47

          Appears more likely to be quarantining precautions. Probably some shipment was handled by persons who developed covid symptoms.

          Here an article explaining delays abroad.

          • Vangard on 13/04/2020 - 10:40

            @imcold: Maybe. But my PC was supposed to arrive on 6th of April. And the motherboard box with documentation and power cable arrived on time. However, the PC is still in SA with no updates since 31st March.

            • ayayron on 20/04/2020 - 14:46

              @Vangard: Any update on this? Got motherboard box delivered just before, but the PC still says 'in transit' and hasn't changed status since 09/04/2020

          • chris666 on 13/04/2020 - 12:36

            @imcold: No they are days behind cause the volumes are much higher then Xmas time….

      I ordered one with the 1070s a couple of weeks ago and got an email last night saying their recent shipment of 1070s were all damaged in transit unfortunately.

      • Rlogarisation on 09/04/2020 - 14:23

        same, but I think they're full insured, so they won't have much loss business wise

      • JTL on 09/04/2020 - 15:10

        Ah that'a a shame - thanks for letting me know.

      • BankOfThoughts on 09/04/2020 - 15:52

        Ordered a 1070FE as well, did they let you know how you'd be compensated, replacement card etc.?

        • OnlineShopper123 on 09/04/2020 - 16:15
          +4

          I think it would probably be something like this (taken from another dude who faced the same situation),

          1) A straight swap into a brand new GTX 1660 6GB or RX 580 8GB. These cards represent the same purchase price dollar value to us as the used/ex-demo GTX 1070 Founders Edition in your order. Given the current market environment of far higher supplier prices and lower Australian dollar, this is the only price-equivalent option available to us and we are unable offer a higher spec card at no additional cost.

          2) Upgrade to the MSI Mech RX 5700 8GB, the cost for which is $350. Due to increased supplier prices and low Aussie dollar at the current time, this represents the current price difference in the two cards, and includes no profit to us - it is cost price only. We are unable to subsidise the cost any further.
          Other upgrade options into higher end cards may also be available - please advise if this is of interest and I will send pricing.

          3) The credit for your order applied to an entirely new order, based on the current available deals viewable at: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/techfast.com.au. The new order would be prioritised for completion as soon as possible.

          4) A full refund with our sincerest of apologies for the inconvenience.

          • BankOfThoughts on 09/04/2020 - 16:39
            +7

            @OnlineShopper123: Wow, that's a huge difference in performance.

            That's extremely disappointing.

            • Jeraz on 14/04/2020 - 07:41
              +4

              @BankOfThoughts: Agreed. I ordered a 1070FE myself, and received the same email. I was extremely disappointed in these options - disappointed enough to cancel my order and look at doing the build myself.

              I understand that prices have shifted, and that we are in an unusual situation - but I made the purchase in good faith. To offer me an inferior product for the same price, after I have already made the purchase, isn't at all acceptable. As I see it, they should be seeking remedy from the people who sent them damaged product, or the mail service that damaged them, not their paying customers. I won't be buying from TechFast again.

      • Lickmywang on 09/04/2020 - 16:14

        I ordered one as well, was your one the GTX 1070 FE and Ryzen 5 3600? If it was, have you received your items yet because I ordered mine on the 17th of March and still haven't received it yet.

        • OnlineShopper123 on 09/04/2020 - 16:16

              @Lickmywang: Same, but I upgrade some components. Probably next week there will be shipping confirmation emails for this deal.

              • Lickmywang on 09/04/2020 - 16:26

                @OnlineShopper123: Maybe, but I received a message saying "order from Techfast Australia has been shipped. StarTrack tracking number…" around 2 pm on Monday (06/04/2020). When I called StarTrack, they said my package wasn't associated with 'StarTrack' and was shipped from a company called 'Origin PC Asia….'???

                Do you know anything about this?

              • Lickmywang on 09/04/2020 - 16:27

                      @Lickmywang: The 550w power supply that i got in my $399 1600AF GT710 $399 Deal that showed up yesterday was a really nice looking Thermaltake branded 80% Bronze cirt black power supply with gray text.. very impressive as was expecting a generic 550w from the youtube videos i watched… they also gave me a crucial BX550 240gb SSD black biostar board. Black ram and black MSI fanless GT710 that i replaced with a Gygabite RX460 :)

                      This PC was the deal of a lifetime at $399 + $29 for the hard drive upgrade.

        Like, what are you expecting? Very clearly the way they get the cheapest prices is a cost minimising business model.

        Frankly, if you get the product you expect, and if there are issues they get resolved, then you can't really complain imo. This isn't some big chain that you get to go to the ACCC, it's a small business trying to get by.

    A repeat of your 3900X/2080 Super with all the bells and whistles? (Good mobo, Gold PSU)
    Ideal if you can also bundle with 144Hz Gaming LCD so we can call it a 'home PC' and claim deduction/salary sacrifice this FY.

      • ChatCPT on 09/04/2020 - 14:03

        Usually people claim a laptop and its no questions asked so my argument is I need to work from home too but I am claiming the non portable equivalent. Thus PC and LCD/mobo/mouse

        • buffalo bill on 10/04/2020 - 03:22
          +2

          A PC/laptop (and/or components) is either a deduction (at % used for work) or its not, regardless of peripherals.

          I believe the exception would be if you did not buy a monitor/display (and did not have one already) at all this financial year and hence did not use the machine for work (or anything else) before end of June. In that case it wouldn't be a deduction for the current financial year.

            I have an important update on your order. We have just received our final shipment of GTX 1070 8GB Founders Edition graphics cards, and much to our dismay, they have arrived damaged in transit beyond repair and cannot be used for your order.

      Surely you can cancel if they can’t deliver on time. It’s well beyond what is reasonable to wait.

      • Soviet Steve on 09/04/2020 - 23:41

        Their refund policy will only refund 75% of your order and into store credit

          I don’t think Australian consumer laws would agree with that refund policy as it’s clearly unreasonable.

          • Soviet Steve on 11/04/2020 - 14:20

            @MuddyClear: I did put a complaint into the accc's website, you're right, it's unreasonable

          I think before you order you already accepted their terms of service.

      I think they're just really busy in these times. I ordered a PC over christmas and got it within 3 weeks.

  • chyawala on 09/04/2020 - 17:57

    Looks like a very tricky time for tech resellers with AUD drop and shipping delays.

    if it takes more than 24 hours for a reply - you will get a reply as soon as it is possible.

    Basically no guarantee of when you will get a reply, if any.

  • Kapinny on 09/04/2020 - 18:57

    any 2070 super deals?

  • Shaunzki on 09/04/2020 - 19:30

    This or the 5700 system with ram + mobo upgrades?

    • Somewhat Anonymous on 16/04/2020 - 21:55

      I'm keen on 5700 (AMD for linux support), but they've all gone up in price. :(

      @luke - Any idea if AMD GPUs will make an appearance again?

    Lot of questions being asked here and enough of them to put people off from buying, I know I am at the moment.

    Yes it's strange times with a tanked AUD which is basically a peso now and then add in the virus and all this stuff coming in from China or other parts of Asia and it just adds up to a bad time to be buying some gear.

    The number of people here who aren't getting any communication back from the OP is a worry and when told to email rather than PM and still no contact then red lights should be flashing surely?

    Caveat emptor I'm thinking.

      All emails are back within 24 hours as of today, in both inboxes. That will likely change over the Easter long weekend but we'll get back shortly thereafter.

        More seems like 72 hours +. Right?@luketechfast. Stop lying and scamming other customers, solve your current ones. Please!

        luke, i been sending emails since tuesday just hope to get an reply from you guys about what happening to my purchase but is really ridiculous that i got not a single reply until now. I know there might be delay or whatever reason due to virus that affect our purchase but at least you guys can send us an update

        • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 14/04/2020 - 17:08

          If you haven't had a reply as yet, can you please PM me so I can look into it for you?

          • k4renn on 14/04/2020 - 20:25

            @luketechfast: Hi Luke, I do get a reply saying my purchase will be shipped early or mid this week.Still waiting for my shipment

  • bread and butter on 09/04/2020 - 20:30

    I paid for my 3500x, 1070 combo on the 11th March, made an upgrade change that I paid for on the 16th March.

    PC arrived on 2nd April, wiped case down with Metho (yes I am paranoid).

    Been very happy with the PC performance, Overwatch and
    BFV - service and postage time for me was great. Thanks Luke.

    I do feel sorry for the those who have missed out with the damaged batch.

      I think the delivery time has me a bit on the fence at the moment. Looking for a gaming machine and something than I can do some amateur video editing on. Unsure if the 3500X is most suitable after seeing some benchmarks on YouTube.

      • connico on 10/04/2020 - 12:03

        3500X is a good value processor with 6 cores and 6 threads. It's not going to amaze you with Video Editing as most editors are multithreaded… I would upgrade o a 3600 if you had a spare cash

        • Nickk61 on 17/04/2020 - 09:20

          Thanks - did a lot of hunting last night and I think I'm actually going to go with a centrecom machine at $1699 which has all this and more, only downfall is the 5600XT it comes with but will be enough for me + extra hdd space, larger ssd and windows.
