DealFox has secured stock of the lowest priced Acer Iconia A500 16gb wifi tabs in Australia. Thank you all who gave us welcome feedback in our previous Ozbargain deal

Brand New, Acer Australia stock: $349 + $6.95 shipping Australia wide — 5:18pm = SOLD OUT

We also have a new batch of factory refurbished Iconia Tabs @ $299 + $6.95 shipping Australia wide. These come looking and working just like 'new' units. No cosmetic damage or defects. Acer does a great job making them as close to brand spanking new. Difference between New and Refurbished? Mainly the lack of retail packaging/box. — 6:33pm = REFURBISHED STOCK SOLD OUT

Both come with 1 year warranty handled by Acer Australia.

We're also putting up a SanDisk Micro SDHC 8gb at a ridiculous $8.95! UPDATE: Not a class 2 as advertised, its actually a Class 4!

  • Strictly limited to one per person. Judging by our sale last week, these will sell out before the midnight deadline.
  • New + Refurbished units by Acer
  • 1 year warranty provided by Acer Australia
  • Nvidia Tegra 2, 16gb Wifi model
  • Honeycomb 3.0 installed according to users ordered from the previous week
  • In stock! We've got them packed and ready to send out by next day(even today if your order is placed early enough). Overnight delivery via AAE, Toll or CP to most metro areas. Same-day to Brisbane metro.
  • Limited qty. While I can't say exactly. It's more then 40 but less then 80 :)

    @Rep Are you an authorised Acer reseller?

      hi jackofspade,

      We're not an authorised reseller as we deal mainly in EOL, clearnance and one-off lots. These were purchased and invoiced direct from Acer Australia.

  • A Banana4scale on 19/09/2011 - 10:54

    How is the SHDC deal better than this one considering yours is class 2 while this Apus one is Class 4.

    and shipping is 6.95 so total cost is ~$15 in which case I'd spend an extra $5 and buy the 16Gb version.

    • AssociatedJason_dealfox.com.au @ eSOLD.com.au on 19/09/2011 - 12:05

      We've just confirmed with warehouse that the cards are Class 4. Also ours are Australian Sandisk stock. I can't say for certain on SS, but they tend to have grey import SD cards from overseas (not that there would be much difference quality wise, but some people like the comfort of Australian stock).

  • andy19363 on 19/09/2011 - 10:55

    seems odd that the shipping for a micro sd card is the same as that for the tablet….. presumably there is quite a variation in size and weight…..

    • AssociatedJason_dealfox.com.au @ eSOLD.com.au on 19/09/2011 - 11:00
      +2

      Today's SD deal is mainly for those bundling with the Acer tabs. We'll do a memory day with reduced shipping once we organise more efficient logistics.

      Update: Just called the warehouse guys and it infact a Class 4 card!

  • timetorelax on 19/09/2011 - 10:59

    Thanks Dealfox. Just ordered one, hopefully you can ship these out today.

  • wildstone on 19/09/2011 - 11:06

    Would officeworks price match these deals?

    • Garlic on 19/09/2011 - 11:16

      last time i called then they wont do it, but try in store.

      • anonymoususer on 19/09/2011 - 11:23

        Even if they match it, how much difference we can get from OW?
        And what details we should tell to OW?

  • Pobman on 19/09/2011 - 11:10

    Are my eyes wrong or in the thumbnail image of the site above is the price $339??? So was it for sale for $10 less before?

    • AssociatedJason_dealfox.com.au @ eSOLD.com.au on 19/09/2011 - 11:15

      It was an issue with our site cache. The refurbished last week were priced at $339

      • Pobman on 19/09/2011 - 11:18

        OK no problem… glad to see I don't need glasses yet!

        I am so so so tempted… just to have a new toy… :)

    Bought one of these when HN had them on sale for $386. Highly recommended at this price. It's a great quality tablet. Update to Honeycomb 3.2 is out - it'll prompt you to update automatically once you connect via wifi.

    If you buy new (not refurb) you could also try the $100 ebooks/music gift voucher via redemption from Acer. Not positive it is valid if not bought through an Acer reseller, but nothing in the T&Cs seems to exclude it.

        That is why crikey stated

    • jackofspade on 19/09/2011 - 13:14

      I'm going to try it anyway. It only cost a stamp and minor damage to the box.

    • nanoronline on 19/09/2011 - 13:29

      Oh yeah I got the 3.2 update just last Friday night!

  • johndoe123 on 19/09/2011 - 11:59

    this is great. do you provide tax invoice? cheers

    • AssociatedJason_dealfox.com.au @ eSOLD.com.au on 19/09/2011 - 12:01

      Yes, Tax Invoice with GST included with all orders.

      • scotty on 19/09/2011 - 12:18

        Thanks. Just got one.

      • sydguy87 on 19/09/2011 - 15:49

        I am going overseas next month - is it possible to reclaim the GST when going past customs? I understand that's if you spend >$300 in one transaction. Please let me know ASAP :)

        • AssociatedJason_dealfox.com.au @ eSOLD.com.au on 19/09/2011 - 16:09

          Yes, we do provide a GST Tax invoice that you can claim at your TRS counter at your airport. However, the refurbished unit is just under the $300 limit I'm afraid (shipping is not counted in the TRS calculatin irc).

        • jackofspade on 19/09/2011 - 16:16

          Just add a microSD card to go over $300

        • sydguy87 on 19/09/2011 - 16:16

          If I buy the microSD card that should bump it up $>300?

          +3

          You're right, that will probably work to bump it over $300 in one transaction! Ozbargain initiative FTW :)

    The thing I'm curious with is, if we're buying from a site that apparently sells new and refurbished units that look like new, how can we be sure that when we buy new ones, we will not be getting the refurbished ones?

    • crikey on 19/09/2011 - 12:04
      +1

      From the description: "Difference between New and Refurbished? Mainly the lack of retail packaging/box."

      • nanoronline on 19/09/2011 - 12:12

        Sorry my bad!

      • nanoronline on 19/09/2011 - 13:28

        But come to think of it, can't refurbished ones come with the retail packaging/box? Not from this seller I mean..

  • nanoronline on 19/09/2011 - 12:14

    How do you get warranty from Acer if you're not an authorised reseller?

    • AssociatedJason_dealfox.com.au @ eSOLD.com.au on 19/09/2011 - 12:18

      Hi nanoronline,

      Each Acer Iconia tab has a unique serial number that you use register on Acer.com.au. This also leads to your previous questoin re New vs Refurbished. The new Acer units have a different preceeding serial code vs the refurbished units.

  • apprentice on 19/09/2011 - 12:35

    Is it worth buying the refurbished unit? The description says the item was returned to Acer. They then tested it and certified ok.

    • nanoronline on 19/09/2011 - 12:47

      You just reminded me about the creaky ones I returned to JB HiFi after getting 2 creaky ones. The guy told me they will have to refund me instead of giving me another one unless I am willing to pay for Acer's testing fee because Acer will just "test" them and say there is nothing wrong and JB will have to try selling the opened ones. And the guy said that has happened that is why he wanted to refund me instead.

      • jackofspade on 19/09/2011 - 13:16

        How do you test whether it's creaky or not?

        • nanoronline on 19/09/2011 - 13:25

          The first one was on the right side panel (the black plastic part). It just creaks under light pressure.

          The second one was the most common case that I read online. The left back part (metallic part) where you usually hold the Tab creaks. And that is the worse because it does so every time you pick it up (I suppose more for me, being a left-handed), and whenever you're typing with your thumbs while holding it with both your hands.

          I suppose it really was just me, getting two creaky ones consecutively until my third one from OW. But I do think that it is a safer guarrantee getting it from the local shops here. Unfortunately HN's $386 deal ended yesterday and OW's price has gone back up..

        • jackofspade on 19/09/2011 - 13:50

          Mine does creak a little bit but I think it's typical build quality for a mid-range tab. The screen quality is very good…no bleeding edge at all.

        • nanoronline on 19/09/2011 - 15:45

          Where did you get yours from? My third one from OW is solid with no creaks, like the display units at OW, HN, and JB..

        • jackofspade on 19/09/2011 - 16:13

          I got a refurb one from dealfox last week. It creaks on the right side but it's not an issue for me because I mainly hold it with left hand.

        • nanoronline on 19/09/2011 - 16:20

          Right side black plastic creaks? So it is like my first one then. For the price of a refurb I suppose that is not bad.

        • sydguy87 on 19/09/2011 - 16:22

          Does the warranty cover creaks?

        • nanoronline on 19/09/2011 - 16:40

          Not sure.. Based on what the JB guy told me, if Acer would "test" a creaky tablet and said there's nothing wrong with it and sent back, I suppose your only option is to bring it back to the shop to change. For this case here, I dunno what DealFox would do…

  • ltwo on 19/09/2011 - 12:51

    so tempted… don't know if i should get this or maybe find a ASUS Transformer for slightly more or just wait it out till the next-gen tablets are out (which isn't that far away now).

    • nanoronline on 19/09/2011 - 13:01

      I think Iconia Tab is better than Transformer if you're not getting the keyboard dock. Otherwise, wait till Christmas time and by then Kal-El tablets should be on the market.

    • aec on 19/09/2011 - 13:57

      i am sooooo tempted too. imo, transfer FEELs and LOOKs better than iconia. however, i will try my best to just wait til xmas.

    • nanoronline on 19/09/2011 - 15:48

      I kinda doubt that.. The most should be $300. Normal single core phones aren't even that cheap. Or the less-spec-ed iPad 2 16gb WiFi only's price isn't going anywhere less as well.

      Jason, I just tried to make a purchase but can't find the Paypal payment option that your terms and conditions say you accept. All it seems to allow is credit card payment. What am I doing wrong?

        I had the same problem as you when I ordered my (which was actually when they had the first deal). I asked them about it and this is what they replied with:

        We had originally set up PayPal but found we had some technical difficulty during testing. It is now being investigated and our PayPal option will be available by 23rd September. We sincerely sorry we can't help you with the PayPal option right now. But, it is definitely coming!. :-)

          Thanks for the information. It would have been nice for those of us who can't read minds for some conventional form of notification that the Paypal option they advertise on the website isn't actually available. How hard is it to say Paypal option isn't available yet? Not happy and not impressed especially as they've known about this issue for weeks yet are still happily promoting Paypal as a payment option.

        • Rogerwilco on 19/09/2011 - 23:32

          Amazing! Why then don't you say that on your website and remove the Paypal payment references? I missed out because I thought it was me doing something wrong and by the time I'd searched your website for an answer you were sold out.

    hate to call support line.

    • nanoronline on 21/09/2011 - 22:50

      You mean after the device's screen is supposedly turned off but then it lit back up? Have you updated your Tab to the latest Android 3.2?

  • scotty on 21/09/2011 - 23:57

    Also got mine this morning. Actually according to the tracking it arrived Sydney Tuesday morning and not sure why it stayed in the depot for a whole day…

    I bought the refurb unit and it looks like new. 10" Iconia certainly feels a bit heavy when you hold it single handed, but then again my last tablet was the $99 7" Optus MyTab :) Mine also got an update pretty much straight away — but only to 3.1. How longer do I need to wait for it to upgrade to 3.2?

    • nanoronline on 22/09/2011 - 00:03

      Hey scotty, glad you got it in the end ok. Wonders why it stayed in depot, usually shouldn't be the case but depends on the local depot. A few people in the office have said they upgraded to 3.2

  • daKIK on 22/09/2011 - 08:57

    Well mine update to 3.1 as soon as I turned it on, n then later on that day updated to 3.2 .. So jst keep checkin for updates
    Anyone find a good deal for a sleave or case??
