http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1817405 << EDIT - fixed link

No info on delivery costs, and the website does not allow you to order via Paypal or credit card, but reports on whirlpool confirmed credit card payments over the phone, and delivery of product when a similar deal to this was done previously.

Company has ABN etc and appears legit, but question marks over virtual offices etc. First registered as a business in March 2011, so also very new.

If this works, then deal is an absolute beauty. not quite free as the iPads can be had marginally cheaper than the price of the 'first' one, but not a significant amount. Prior to this, their previous price for a single same-spec iPad was $623.70.

I have taken the plunge myself… ordered over the net, chose postal order, and then requested a call for credit card details, as well as leaving my details in the 1300 number answering machine. New Years Day, so was not expecting a answer/call back until business is back open.

Will let you know how I go!

UPDATE

Received email via paypal from eglobal with paypal link, paid via credit card and paypal. Very tempted to go and buy another pair to sell off and completely fund the ASUS Transformer Prime when it is released :-)

Update 1.1 > Appears to be free delivery as well, as the paypal request was for $750.75, with delivery being 5 - 9 business days from receipt of payment.

I decided to get my children's parents one each as well.. :-)

Mod: We are jointly monitoring this deal on both here and Whirlpool. 2/1

FURTHER MOD EDIT This deal sounds great and it might just be that. Like everything that is a too good to be true deal, making an informed decision might benefit you greatly. Reading ALL of the better detailed insights below might benefit you before you make the decision.

        personally, opening a second visa debit card account dedicated to untrusted purchases seems like the safest to me. leave the balance at zero when not in use so any fraudulent authorisations will be declined. do a chargeback if you don't get the right goods.

    This is a scam guys please don't buy into it. The WP forums account means NOTHING, I have fallen victim before on DP forums years ago when someone did something similar by making sure the user with a lot of history and feedback received his item and then ofcourse he told everyone he got it and left praise for the seller and naturally 100 of us were sucked in afterwards in the mad rush!! Scam successful!!

    You are also NOT covered by Paypal protection for a request for money. There is NOT enough details on the invoice they are sending, pay attention.

    Even if you do receive a delivery of some kind, again as soon as you sign for it , thats the proof they need that they delivered a "request for money item" not the item you think your getting but instead the "request for money" item .

    So on the odd chance you do receive a parcel, you can TRY and make the post man stand by while you open it up in front of him and REJECT it if it happens to be an empty box or a china copycat, that may help you.

    And lastly I think what this guy is doing is phishing for your information and identities. So do not be too excited if he issues you a refund on the basis of "no stock" —— chances are he got what he wanted when you signed up ;-)

    Best case scenario - you're getting a paypal receipt for ONE Ipad (given that one is supposedly free, that is all you're paying for, as will be reflected in the receipt IF you can get the transaction recorded as being Ipad at all.

    PayPal protection is good only for as much as is in the account - if the account is empty (as it will be) Paypal will advise you of that and let you know they were unable to recover your funds.

    Don't even think about going near this unless you intend to use a credit card for payment. Even then there's the risk that your credit card company may well refuse the chargeback claim on the grounds of stupidity.

    • Geewhizz on 02/01/2012 - 09:15

      I'd also recommend avoiding using any paypal link that they send you. Sign into your account via the browser and pay via the request that should be there, if you feel the need to gamble with this.

  • manno786 on 02/01/2012 - 10:06

    There has been alot of positive responses from ppl actually recieving thr goods. The actual price of ipad is that of around 600 they selling two for 750 meaning they are going under cost but then again harvey norman did the same thing sold one for one free offer and pushed the prices up for a single camera. I can def see that these are grey imports coming from overseas meaning they are not payin any taxes and setting up an online company means there is less overhead costs

    As far as paying with a credit card goes. All purchases made through credit card comes with a purchase warranty plus a charge back if not recieved so you are pretty much covered :) i am playing the cards and i know how to get the money out od them it aint that hard will keep you guys posted if i recieve any or not

    • djones145 on 02/01/2012 - 10:49

      Subject: PayPal money request from Eglobal for Order 00215 (Apple iPad2 16Gb Wifi + 3G Promotion)

    Someone mentioned in the WP forums that the website owner ran a background check on him, finding out details such as his job.
    Something about that doesn't sit right with me.

    Also, the only really credible poster (14000+ posts) got his express posted, at no extra charge. If the site is a scam, this would be a great publicity move.

    This kind of price for 2 iPad's is basically impossible. Even if he had no business costs involved (which he does), I believe this price is below the wholesale price. Every iPad sold would lose money for the business, and I don't believe any business of this size could make that kind of loss in order to "drum up publicity" or whatever.

    I am negging only to highlight concerns with this deal, as I don't want anyone to see this deal and jump on it too soon. It could be a fine deal, but buyers need to be highly cautious. $750 is a lot to risk.

    • cuteduck on 02/01/2012 - 14:19

      This is the perfect way to scam… sending 2 for the price of 1 to the credible poster so that others will follow….

    nah they made their quota, probably just waiting to empty out their paypal accounts and then pack up shop.

    Rather than sweating over the deal, if you've already paid for this, the most prudent thing do do is to advise PP that the transaction smells funny.

    Hopefully they will take some measures such as freezing withdrawals from the recipient account for a while but if not, you stand to have a better chance of successfully invoking buyer protection because you put PP on notice.

    Of course nothing is guaranteed and they can come back and say "if it smelt funny, why did you eat it?"

    A money request is just that, a request for money. You are not covered, you are not protected if you do not receive an item , the seller may say they flashed their boobies at you via webcam - thats your "goods". Or perhaps they will post you a box of cheezels - thats also your "goods". Unless it is eBay or a legitimate website such as Dick Smith or Westfields or Harvey Norman than don't pay with paypal unless you accept the risk!

    If you paid already then contact Paypal NOW , - do not wait , do the claim now, no guarantees but it might help you.

    • dan76n on 02/01/2012 - 20:03

          Transaction outside of eBay - NO GUARANTEES - Period

          Sorry, but I think you're confusing a simple paypal transaction, with one involving an ebay merchant. If you transact with an ebay merchant outside of ebay (ie make contact through Ebay, but arrange the deal outside of the ebay system so as to avoid ebay fees), then ebay will not support you. Although Ebay owns Paypal, they are technically separate entities, and the paypal guarantee (such as it is) is not dependant on the purchase having been made through Ebay.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/01/2012 - 21:30

          ebay also owns Gumtree so in this case they probably are more inclined to honour deals

    Update from Whirlpool,

    2 more users received their iPads.

    also mentioned if he was aware of lots of discussions across forums ,the answer was yes, but nothing they can do about the negative post as action speaks louder than the talk. and some negative posts are said to be from retailers that unable to get this price for a large quantities from them for retailing. regarding the price, he explained this is the new field they entered, their main income stream falls on other IT services and this offer was only avai for limited quantities. the promotion is one of their marketing strategy to raise market awareness. about the professionalism of the website, he says it is freshly set up, although the site looks doggy, he said the service team is always there for supports.

    they do read threads from the forums as he mentioned OZbargain and whirlpool.

          Sure. I mean if a rep came in and said hey guys, we are trying to drum up business by selling these iPads at a loss, here is our abn etc, I would guess there would be a lot less comments. More people talking about it equals better sales? Don't know. That's just a theory of why they might not be commenting. I would have thought giving people a piece of mind by responding would be a better strategy but who knows.

    Found that perfect gift online? Beware, scammers … run bogus websites. If you get caught by a scammer you will not only lose your money but will also never receive the item you were trying to purchase!

    Be cautious if the advertised price of an item online looks unusually low. Scam ads quote goods at much lower prices than similar items on the same or other sites.

    Be especially cautious when buying … smartphones and tablet devices. These are common scam targets."

    "Just got off the phone with them.

    I can confirm them saying ETA is this Friday/Monday[20th/23rd]. For the long delay, they have offered me a full refund or a free gift (itunes voucher or ipod shuffle).

    I went wtih the shuffle.

    So if you ordered, phone them for your free shuffle or itunes voucher or refund - although I don't know what the delivery times on those are supposed to be!

    • c64 on 16/01/2012 - 17:16

      ha ha ha, more delays, promises of free itunes vouchers …

      • CyberMurning on 16/01/2012 - 17:25

        maybe in June 2012 they will offer free fridge/lcd tv/washing machine if people want to wait..

    • braddsey on 16/01/2012 - 22:48

      At this stage, the smart option would be to go for the refund…

  • mxyzptik on 16/01/2012 - 17:34

    I also noticed they have just updated the copyright date on their site from 2010 (the year BEFORE Eglobal Pty Ltd was registered) to 2012. But the stock levels haven't changed!

  • mxyzptik on 16/01/2012 - 18:51

    Within a couple of hours the ETA has extended to mid-next week! ie 17+ days.

    (From the same Whirlpool thread: "received call from the lady, confirming the latest delivery is expected to be mid of next week, same stories, but i went for shuffles".)

    Oh and the supposed iTunes vouchers are $50.

    Regarding the "gift" of the iPod Shuffle or iTunes card, if it does arrive via registered post, do NOT sign for it. This is a well organised scam. They will claim that you signed for the iPads, not the "gifts".

      Good point, and in the event if this is not the case, it could give them more time to clean out their paypal account before a Bahamas trip

      Thanks for advising that. Very pleased for you. And if my "scam radar" was faulty, I will see if I can get it fixed!!!

      Hopefully everyone else will get theirs in the next few days.

      well if it is legit, the company has made a complete balls-up of the PR. instead of a having a rep on the forums to answer questions and promote the company they have instead remained silent and naturally speculation of scams has arisen.

    It seems it was legit, because people started to receive their ipads yesterday. Start removing (-)ves !!!

  • [Deactivated] on 25/01/2012 - 08:32

    Redm00n still seems to be the only person reporting having received theirs, so while it's certainly a positive sign, I think we should wait until more feedback comes in before assuming the company is legit or not. When you've got ~50 peoples money it's easy to supply one guy the product.

    • kspec on 26/01/2012 - 09:46

      anyone else receive their double iPads??

        Yes - a few more of the wp posters have now received theirs, and I have received a Auspost tracking number for mine…

    I've been reading through the WP through from time to time also, and I still can't comprehend or understand it. I don't know why a company that focuses on corporate procurement would sell iPad's at a loss, it's not even targeted at their client base.

    Should another deal like this come up, I still don't think I'd go through with it, but congrats to those who pulled the trigger on this one and received them, good that it worked out, and the stress was worth it.

  • skywise on 01/02/2012 - 15:50

    got mine too, well, still waiting for my second order tho.

    Congrats to the brave who took a gigantic risk!

  • [Deactivated] on 01/02/2012 - 20:55

    Indeed.

    As with braddsey, I'm still not convinced the company isn't using this either as a deliberate scam building up trust or is simply a poorly managed business that'll end up going away with a bunch of people's money (a la Nintek).

    'grats to those who took the risk and won, but even with that win I'm not willing to take the risk :P

      you are just jealous now, lolol, nah i kid i kid

  • ozzie13 on 07/03/2012 - 10:20

    Was there anyone who didn't receive their iPads?

  • nonnonnon on 07/03/2012 - 15:08

    i m no luck, i still waiting for the ipads order.
    is there anyone still waiting for the ipads order?
    who did u contact to? or did anyone contact you from IT Procurement?

  • ozzie13 on 04/05/2012 - 11:54

    Strangest offer ever. Was it ever decided if this was a scam or not? Website is down but not many complaints about items not received.

    • CyberMurning on 04/05/2012 - 12:44

      i think, they are half scammer. they advertised very cheap ipad, got alot of money, send out few ipads and make sure those (VERY lucky) receivers posts good reviews on wp/ozb, therefore more people buy.

      then….

      run away…

  • boretentsu on 06/06/2012 - 09:54

    tl:dr so this guy summarises it in March:

    http://whrl.pl/Rc7jW0

    Not sure if it was more than 7 people who received them. It appears to be a quick iPad ponzi scheme. Those who received the 2 iPads did so with the money from later people.

    The lesson from all this? Get in first and be the first to advertise it (like epicaricacy) as are bound to honour the deal of the first public poster to make it look legit. Bad luck to those who didn't receive. You took a punt, you're a true Australian.
