[QLD] Telstra Samsung Galaxy A20 - $119 @ Coles (Instore Only)

660

Got the call from Mum to find her a new phone because she dropped her Nokia brick down the sink (I was honestly amazed it stopped working).

She just wants to call and text so the Samsung Galaxy A20 fit the bill.

Searched on Coles, went through the catalog and found it for $119. The 4th Coles I phones had one in stock but when I arrived it scanned at $199 and verified it was $199 in the catalog.

I ripped out my phone and showed them that when you go through the PDF catalog online, select CATEGORIES then STATIONARY & MEDIA it shows it for $119.

They wouldn't let me have it after a few back and forth a trying to figure out the error, but the lady was nice and called the store manager. He verified the store location blah blah blah and ended up letting me have it for $119.

Obviously YMMV, but good luck!

Have attached the receipt and screenshot.

    Is dumb luck a bargain?

    Great price op.

    • Hah, thanks MS Paint. Hopefully, some other can get the same price here in QLD.

      i think the correct term is 'pity'

  • Ahh seems like only for Queensland.

    change the postcode to 4000, it will show as $119.
    change your postcode back to your local it will remain at $119

    ozbargainers needs to rip coles a new one for this type of pricing variation.
    and it's so much better than "to call and text"

    • This would be worth trying!

      The store manager did dick around verifying the store was set correctly though so YMMV.

      Yeah, tell me about it, she would literally rather her Nokia back than this thing.

      • Just wondering what model Nokia it is you call "a brick?"

        • Nokia 3310

          • @KLoNe: Ah, that one. Only weighs 85gr though which was nice.

  • A ridiculously good phone for $119! Even if it's a pricing error.

    Cool story bro. They must have fixed it or at least when I did exactly as you suggest, it comes up $199 (NSW Metro).

      I just checked as well, seems QLD only. They haven't updated QLD yet.

    Scan price error so you should get it for free

    • It scanned at $199. It's a online website error. Who knows what the policy is for that? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

    • The policy is for products priced under $50.

    • I was told by a Coles rep once that the scanning code of practice doesn't apply to any products purchased through Coles Online.

    For once QLD has a better bargain, it's a welcomed one

    Can confirm its a price error

    • +3

      Yeah, makes sense. The staff were friendly instore though. Thanks Marie & Shane at Kedron πŸ™‚

  • How deep was the sink?

    • +1

      I think it went in the insinkerator. Still shocked the brick stopped working.

  • In QLD catalogue it shows 199, when you click it shows 119 (probably a typing error). Will stores honour it? Because its 199 in catalog and not 119?

    • +1

      I'd say very few, but worth a shot!

  • 110% is price error. And also 110% no one else could get Samsung A20 at another (and also same) store again.

      Are you saying my persuasion skills are πŸ’―?

      Thank you, I've been listing to sales and persuasion audiobooks. I must be improving 😁
