For those that want their Apple products super urgent, there is now an option to get it within three hours for $5. Considering the cost of Apple products usually requires an arm and a leg, the extra $5 is bugger all.

  • A$5 three-hour delivery is available on eligible Apple products in most metro areas until 17 December 2020. Offer is not available on customised Mac products, engraved products, and certain order types including orders paid for with financing or by bank transfer. Time restrictions apply. Find a store to view local store hours or see check-out for estimated delivery. Delivery times vary according to your selected delivery address, the availability of your items and the time of day you place your order. A signature is required for delivery. Drivers may ask for verbal confirmation of receipt from a safe distance to satisfy the signature requirement.

    Sorry, but how is this a deal or a bargain?

    • RSmith on 15/12/2020 - 12:13

      An arm + a Leg + $5 = Bugger all.

      That's a deal in my books.

    • Pcoder on 15/12/2020 - 12:13

      It's delivery within three hours, which if was done by any other system would be much more than $5.

      • skido on 15/12/2020 - 12:16

        the delivery cost is partially covered by item price doh

          I guess, if you place an online order via normal delivery, the delivery time could take longer than the usual delivery time during the Christmas Holiday season. By using this service, you can get it within a few hours.

          But what about the case of a 3rd party retailer, that charges delivery fee? double dipping?

          • skido on 15/12/2020 - 14:47
            +5

            @thesainter: they're all heavily marked up and sold at rrp on the apple store.

            anyone who buys 3rd party accessories via the apple store, please hand in your ozbargain badge.
            I can definitely find you a better deal elsewhere

            • thesainter on 15/12/2020 - 15:51

              @skido: I mean 3rd party retailers selling Apple products that also charge delivery, when Apple already build it into the rrp price

      • ely on 15/12/2020 - 19:33

        Untrue: Old Palm Liquor somehow manage to deliver me a litre of decent stout (including a flagon) for $0 delivery, within an hour.

        I can only assume they're losing money on every transaction and even ordering it fills me with low levels of guilt, but it's an incredible deal.

    • Member 0230 on 15/12/2020 - 12:19

      Just as a guess, I imagine a 3-hour delivery should be significantly more expensive than, say, Aus Post's Express Post "Guaranteed Next Day" service.

      Whether this should qualify for a bargain or not is another question, but I think it's worth knowing for those of us wanting an Apple item ASAP.

      Come to think of it, I reckon it's actually way cheaper time-wise (not to mention petrol and regular car wear/maintenance) than:

      • driving to your nearest Apple Store
      • finding/fighting parking for ages
      • navigating the Christmas crowds and queues to pick it up
      • driving home.

      I'd pay $5 to avoid all that — just my 2c 😊

      edit: pcoder and others say it more elegantly 😄

        Agreed. $5 is a bargain to avoid having to deal with Christmas crowds… and let's not forget going into the Apple store and having to queue/wait before entry/etc… not my idea of a good way to spend my day off work.

      I saw a comment from a true ozber: Use zippay offer to buy TCN gift cards to get 19%. Then go to jbhifi and ask for a price match to the apple education price. So it will come to 27% off.

      • skido on 15/12/2020 - 12:40

                @NeggerOfDeals: Choosing to live in outback Queensland means all your deliveries are going to be later than those living in metro areas with warehouses. However it doesn’t change the fact that this is a regular pricing now for this delivery service and thus it is NOT a deal. It isn’t like you can get normal express service with postage in 1 day either, that’s a limitation of your location.

    I think this is a missed marketing opportunity - whats $5 on a $1500 phone, nothing! Imagine the cred they would get with everyone if they did 3 hour delivery for free. $5 is just a lame attempt to recover basically nothing in the scheme of things and a giant missed opportunity to give their competitors who can only dream about this kind of offer the big finger. Apple where has your innovation gone???

          apple's whole deal is literally overpricing everything and their followers would still buy them, i don't think "free 3 hour shipping" would sway anyone's mind, whoever's buying apple is buying whether the shipping is free, or $5. So they'll squeeze money from them in every way possible
