Greetings everyone, not exactly sure why but as identified in the Ryzen 9 Deal, it seems as though Harris Technology have a coupon which automatically applies on their store which is $15 off with no minimum spend.

However for items under $15, the discount is 98%, therefore there are items such as ethernet cables which are $0.07 delivered. But for items over $15, it applies the full $15 discount.

NOTE: For eBay Plus members, the eBay Plus express shipping comes up as default, make sure to remove this at checkout and change it to free normal shipping otherwise it will charge $15 delivery.

As always, enjoy :)

Mod 11/11 - Order cancellation email sent 7/11, refunds/cancellations via eBay are also coming through in the past days.

Email from HT 7/11:

Dear Customer,

We are writing to you to advise you that a mistake was made by one of our staff members when offering an eBay coupon to one individual customer on 3 November.

Due to inexperience, the $15 coupon was made public and was shared across Ozbargain, when it was originally intended for private use by one person.

We are very sorry for the mistake. Unfortunately, we are unable to fulfill the unexpected orders we received therefore the order/s will be cancelled. We value you as a customer, and will offer you a coupon of $15 for a minimum spend of $100. We hope this good-will gesture is satisfactory to you and we look forward to servicing you again soon.

COUPON: 28QNXRDW7ZDQTCL
Please note: This coupon is for your private use, once only valid from 6-November-21 until 31-December-21

Email from eBay:

We are sorry to let you know that harristechnologyaustralia cancelled your order and mentioned the cancellation reason as 'Something was wrong with the buyer's delivery address.'

You received a refund AU $X.XX back to your original payment method, you don't need to do anything else. It may take 3 to 5 business days for the refund to be completed.

      Nobody gets spared. If they make a mistake than they should own to it, not just sweep it under the carpet and pretend it never happed by wiping out all the orders.

      Also seems like HT is becoming like a 2 dollar shop. lol.

        Do you guys remember when <redacted almond milk company> had malicious code injected into their website that stole credit card info? A bunch of ozB's had $500-3000 illegal transactions on the card the next day.

        After they were contacted on FB, the first thing they did was report the ozbargain deal for something completely unrelated like false coupon information because it was damaging their reputation.

        The second thing they did was report the cyber incident. As a 3 person team they never had the resources to deal with it, was their excuse. They deleted all evidence of it ever happening by taking down their FB apology about it too

        This is typically how companies respond to their mistakes

    If HT is smart then they will fullfill orders if total sell was more than their cost… As it will help them spring clean 😂

    • lplau on 04/11/2021 - 19:51

      If they were smart they would honor it and put it under "marketing" costs. lol.

      Many companies spend millions in marketing, if we were to take the 10,000 clicks and each person using the coupon once, this would have only costed them $150,000 which is still much less than what most companies spend in 1 round of marketing. Not to mention their tax man can probably write it off somehow which would save them company tax, so total cost of this marketing exercise could be $105,000, a much better deal!

      If everybody who ordered posted a negative feedback, they would tank their feedback score with a influx of 6 months worth of sales feedback. They only gathered around 10k positive feedback within the last 6months.

      • SydBoy on 04/11/2021 - 22:44

        That's much better idea…! You should message it to HT

      They can pull out as per failed previous promo with adidas shoes. Ebay at the end gave $15 voucher for all cancelled order

    • p1723 on 04/11/2021 - 13:27

      They still could.

      It happened with an Amazon air fryer that went for $7 instead of $140. The company ended up sending multiple requests for all those who bought to cancel, before cancelling everyone else who ignored the emails

    • Clear on 04/11/2021 - 14:22

      They can say it was a pricing error and bam orders cancelled. Completely legal under consumer law.

      • zbc on 04/11/2021 - 14:52

        Yes, but how many different products would they have to claim were all subject to a pricing error? Can you get away with literally mispricing every single product in an entire online store and cancel all of their orders?

      • videoman on 04/11/2021 - 14:59

        Yes they can cancel everyone's items but their ebay feedback will take a beating. Look at what happened to robins kitchen ebay store a few months ago when they canceled everyone's items from deal listed on ozbargain-
        www.ebay.com.au/fdbk/feedback_profile/robins.kitchen.officia…

        This was the deal- https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/635357

            @[Deactivated]: This is actually really horrible to see. This group is starting to become a unethical entitled mob. HT is actually a good supplier and is good competition to the other companies. i always get great prices vs competitors on amazon from them. But to see any company get attacked to that extent for am honest mistake, because they didn't get what of which they mostly knew or big chance would have been a mistake just doesn't sit well with me. This goes to any mistake or business and not only HT

              @aerona: Is it unethical though?
              You can argue both sides of the fence on this one. Technically speaking it could be unethical that they advertise a coupon then withdraw it. Imagine all the retailers on the web started doing this to garner "free advertisement".

              I see it as; HT has now got free advertisement from this supposed mistake, therefore it is unethical for them not to honor it and if they don't honor it then it doesn't work in their favor and they will get flamed for it.

              HT has literally been able to reach out to 10,000 potential customers only within this Ozbargain post, imagine how many more people know about HT now that this has happened!

              Famous quote is: There is 1 person who can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.

              And my addition to that quote is to also tell everybody I know to spend money elsewhere!

    • pennypincher98 on 04/11/2021 - 19:45

      Afaik those have been endorsed by eBay as special (normally Tuesday) promotions, but this seems to be a seller code.

      Whether the seller honours the code or not we'll have to see. They certainly got the price jacking right beforehand.

    I wonder if they made any profit

    Edit: Why did I get downvoted? It's a genuine question. eBay takes a lot of fees, they offer free postage, 98% off under $15, and anything over $15 discount, they took down the deal ASAP and knew something was wrong.

    They got a revenue spike but they prob took a profit loss
