    Just went in for the phone. They were really surprised by the price… But no stock in metro area. Closest Rockingham… Then like Broome and rural towns.
    No online order possible.

    • Speckled Jim on 14/09/2020 - 12:30

      Freo to Rocky in 10 minutes. There were fewer patrols back then.

    Can confirm that palmyra has 1 of the sandisk ultra 32gb it’s ya chasing that

  • thefinalproblems on 14/09/2020 - 11:43

    Interesting that stock level wise this deal probably isn't far off some of the better eBay Plus deals (I.e. Airpods for $99) and that this one requires you to physically go in store, but there isn't the same backlash…

    I know eBay Plus is a member program, but very few people out there would be full fee members. Are people more okay with being disappointed in person than online?

    • bajirao on 14/09/2020 - 11:58

      Price of Y5: $40
      Satisfaction of finding any clearance low-stock item in your local store: Priceless :)

  • Laplace on 14/09/2020 - 11:44

    Cheers OP! Snagged a Y5 in Morley just then. Thought there'd be none left

    • Charlie Dont Surf on 14/09/2020 - 11:50

      I could have gone to Morley, it's closer!! And then had a $5 Vietnamese pork roll from Coventry Village :)

      Morley wasn't listed in the OP, well done. Oh well, drove a bit further to Bassendean, first time I've been out there since the 1990s.

  • Lionel5885 on 14/09/2020 - 11:54

    Went to Hamilton hill LPO to pick my parcel. Saw the Y5 in the case. States $199. Asked politely for price check. The owner says it’s $199. I said it should be $40 and she says nope. It’s $199. Refused to sell it and kept it behind the counter immediately.

    • Nils on 14/09/2020 - 13:16

    What about those who managed to get it? :P

    • thefinalproblems on 14/09/2020 - 12:29

      Well since Aus Post do not allow phones to be returned for any reason apart from manufacturer defect… you will have no choice but to keep it.

      • djoz on 14/09/2020 - 12:30

      • tunzafun001 on 14/09/2020 - 12:51

        They do list it with NFC, which it doesn't have. So there is a reason to return.

    • johnmelb on 14/09/2020 - 13:33

      I can't confirm what the price is in store now, I can confirm before I bought it the website still said $199 (I refreshed before I left to the post office; transaction went through at 11:37). Now the website is updated, so something changed (maybe instore price too?).
      Hopefully somebody can confirm it for you.

    • kbhatt01 on 14/09/2020 - 13:53

      Wen't back during lunch to purchase another - scanned @ $159. The guy at the counter mentioned that I was lucky to get 2 @ $40 earlier in the morning :)

      Price was still $40 for each code for the y5 2019 (half an hour ago), although I believe it's being taken off sale until it's corrected.

  • [Deactivated] on 14/09/2020 - 14:26

    After reading all of the comments, I just realised that the local post office blatantly lied to me.

    I wanted 2 and they said they only had the one on display, although I had confirmation from 131318 (called for another mater) that 5 were in stock. I was the first to be served at 9am… Guess that they shopped for themselves before opening time

    Well, at least I know where I stand with them!

  • djoz on 14/09/2020 - 15:00

    Just asking out of curiosity. This phone doesn't have Band 28 (not that I'd expect it to have for this price point). But will Boost Mobile VoLTE work on this phone? My current phone has all the bands that the Y5 has but I don't get VoLTE on Boost. Tried everything but it will not come on.

    If anyone is already using, or has used now, please let me know. Thanks!

      • djoz on 14/09/2020 - 17:45

        Thanks, I did read the bands supported. My question was, does Boost Mobile need Band 28 (700 Mhz) for VoLTE to work? Boost's website also mentions this (sic):

        Telstra will be switching off 3G in 2024. After switch off you will still be able to access the Telstra Mobile Network provided your handset is 4G voice enabled and 4G 700MHz compatible.

        Does this indicate that Band 28 (700 MHz) is a must for VoLTE to work on Boost Mobile / Telstra?

      Did you mention the Product code to the teller and ask them to check the price for you? The display prices are still the non-marked down ones. No idea why. All of us who got, still saw the phone displayed at $199, but when it scanned, it was $40.

        "djoz" Although at 4pm this arvo I did not like my chances of finding any stock at local PO and saw that the

        price went up to $159 now, I found the display advertising them for $40 and scanned at $159.

        Stood there with blank look on my face, and they gave me one for $40 anyway, alst while three staff were

        talking about this being a price and mistaking the $40 discount for $40 sale price.

          Really? That's so amusing! $199 scans at $40, and then they print $40 labels and it scans at $159?

            @djoz: Yeah, well they did say they sold one earlier in morning for $40 and scanned as such ( not sure if tickets

            were marked that though ). My Post Office is in regional NNSW postcode 2482, close to Qld boarder.

    • ozhunter68 on 14/09/2020 - 17:45

      If double the price includes delivery I think that is still a good and fair price for both, as ebay/PayPal would cost more than $10

      and freight another $8 + box and time. Win win at that price, but I bet some real greedy people will try to get $130-$150 +.

            @ozhunter68: Considering that they're now $159 at AusPost, I think he/she is being optimistic!

            I wonder if it is the person mentioned earlier in the thread who scooped up a pile of these phones in one store? I hope she never sells them.

            Until yesterday, I'd never heard of this phone. Now I own one :)

              I hope she never sells them.

              Let's start a campaign not to buy this phone from any individual seller. They're probably making 200% profit by unfair hoarding of phones which could have been taken by others.
