    I definitely won't be satisfied with a 25% off voucher. The machine has around 66% off from the original price. Now HP has hold my fund and i cannot anything else during BFCM.

        1:18AM AEST to be exact.

      hang on .. if ordered around 1 am QLD time, does this mean that you're one of the first bunch that ordered this and still got cancelled? so they didn't honour any of the sales?

        It seems like most of the ones who got it ordered it before this was posted on Ozbargain, there was maybe 2 in stocks left once this was up on here.

    Almost the same spec item is currently in stock on their website but with inferior storage.

    Rang to see if I can swap the order but was told that this item is not part of the promotion so I cannot swap for that price

    Meanwhile they can just hold all our money until some indeterminate point in the future after allowing us to place orders on items that are sold out

    https://store.hp.com/au-en/default/desktops/omen-by-hp-obeli…

    Sounds like it was a pricing error but they are honoring the first few orders

      Yep when I got my call about 15 minutes ago, they mentioned that they tried to find an alternative to send out before deciding to cancel. This would have been perfectly fine with me.

                    @johangules: Okay, so I just spoke with HP customer service and I was placed through to Suba, the escalation manager. She explained to me that there was a computer glitch on the HP website which resulted in a lot more orders going through than what stock was actually available. Therefore, there were not enough units available for everyone who ordered. Suba asked me if I wanted a refund with a 25% voucher, however, I asked if there was any alternative desktop which could be provided from HP, as there is a lower tired model with less SSD space still available on the website (OMEN by HP Obelisk Desktop 875-1140a). She said that since it's late on a Friday, she would get back to me on Monday to see if there was anything she could do. I didn't ask for a refund for now, but I'll update on Monday after the phone call.

It seems to me that they don't have much stock of any of these older model OMEN computers!

      Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me! Had the exact same thing happen previously (though was not out of stock, just a pricing error). Refund takes about 1-2 weeks, which is a complete farce.

      Super annoyed as again, it stated out of stock but delivery in 14-28 days (and not no longer available). You can buy/configure units similar (if not exactly the same) on the US HP site - with a global supply chain (and Angel speaking to me from the Philippines while Maya called me from Spain), I would imagine the HP could have found a way to filling the orders.

      Bah - will certainly not be ordering any 'bargains' from HP in the future.

      • mthucs on 01/12/2020 - 10:20

        Yeh, the 3070 is nice but I might prefer the extra vram of the 2080ti. Also, I prefer the aesthetics of the HP and I like the PSU and how the components seem more flexible.

    • jkim on 01/12/2020 - 11:34

      The Dell uses a 500W proprietary PSU, and suffers from insufficient cooling, so any plans to rip the internals out and put it in a better cooled case + 750W PSU is out the window (I was hoping to reuse an old Silverstone FT02 or Corsair 400R with an EVGA G2 750W). The HP seems to use a standard ATX PSU (no information to the contrary), although they may also be using remapped pins. However, the HP is not known to suffer thermal issues like the Dell.

      you can get the 875-1038a which comes with a 2080ti, 32gb DDR4 Ram for 2K. GPU is better than the 2070 super however, you will compromise by getting an 9th gen processor instead of a 10th gen

      • Luke o on 03/12/2020 - 09:58

        That doesn't appear to be available on the corporate employee store (the one I'm using). I thought education and corporate would be the same products.

        That closest PC with those specs on corporate store is GT13 -0810a (10th Gen i7 though) which would be $3k with discount.

          Well… I got a call from Maya today (finally) and she fixed me up.
          Really happy how it turned out, despite costing $500 more.
