This one started today, but I went into my Optus App to get it and there was a 50% off data sim offer that stacked with the $0 Tablet.

Has to be 30gb data plan or above.

So my deal was

$12.50 x 12 Months
Tab A8 64gb 4G
30 GB Data added to my data pool
$150 total cost.

    Ordered 1 on Sat night and 1 Sun morning.

    Hearing crickets from Optus

    Not having high hopes here folks.

  • nightqueen on 27/04/2022 - 13:07

    I just got my tablet and I'm a new customer. How do I activate the sim and the data?

    • kml22 on 27/04/2022 - 13:11

      Did you read the instructions on the Welcome letter that came with your delivery?

      • nightqueen on 27/04/2022 - 13:18

        The welcome letter didn't give any instructions.

        • Blackcat2 on 27/04/2022 - 13:19

          It says that it will be automatically activated within 4 hours or else you can follow the instructions on the paper

      • nightqueen on 27/04/2022 - 13:18

        What should I do?

        • KNGPN on 27/04/2022 - 13:25

          @nightqueen Welcome letter says follow the instructions on the SIM pack, scan the QR code or wait (or call)
          I was gonna do mine later on, but received an email a little while ago saying the service is now active.

          • nightqueen on 27/04/2022 - 14:43

            @KNGPN: Service is activate, can't create an account online. Doesn't match my email and date of birth. Been on customer service for the last hour.

            @KNGPN: Did you actually try scanning that QR code? It doesn't seem to scan.

            • KNGPN on 27/04/2022 - 15:50

              @truetypezk: No, coz I received an email saying the service was active, and I can see the service under my accounts.

          Post to me I'll activate for you then keep it.

    • truetypezk on 27/04/2022 - 15:40

      I think startrack is batch processing the delivery info. Mine is still stuck at some depo despite it has been delivered early in the morning. My guess is when the delivery status changes to delivered Optus will automatically proceed with activation of the SIM card.

  • Failbike on 27/04/2022 - 13:49

    I got a temp order on 24/4/22 at 11:45am. No contact from them since that email so I called up just now and he put the order through for me. 23 minute call, but a nice enough guy.
    This was for the 128gb model.
    ETA 3-5 days.

  • dylanando on 27/04/2022 - 14:05

    No movement on tracking but got carded in brisbane.
    So delivered I guess.

    I got both of my orders today in Brisbane, sim and tablet delivered together. Happy day!

    • Sunnyoz on 27/04/2022 - 20:12

      When did you order , I am in Brisbane too I ordered about 10:00 pm on the 23 April 2022

    I just received my delivery. Both Sim and the tablet. No contract, though.

    Oh and i needed to show ID.

  • kazer on 27/04/2022 - 14:24

    placed an order last night as a new account. got the confirmation today saying ready to be delivered.

    • kazer on 27/04/2022 - 15:02
      +1

      hmm. negs for providing a status update? strange.

      anyhow, seems like optus still hasnt allocated the full stock to all the temp orders / orders which arent confirmed. contacting support might help to push your order through.

      • frogduck on 27/04/2022 - 15:09
        +2

        There's lots of salty people around here :) I'll probably get negged for this post too.

      • Miss B on 27/04/2022 - 15:33
        +2

        Sometimes people see a neg and stack on. It's not your fault Optus don't know to ship out earlier orders first. I ordered on the 23rd and 26th, 26th order is ready for delivery, no updates on the order from the 23rd. I didn't expect the 26th order to be fulfilled, but ordered just in case they got more stock, no harm if it doesn't. I never expected it to get put to the front of the line.

    • Ineedtoknowplease on 27/04/2022 - 16:48

      Hey kazer, just wondering how were you able to place the order when it was out of stock?

      • kazer on 27/04/2022 - 17:37
        +2

        username checks out :D
        and yea, I used one of the links in the previous comments which takes you directly to a pre filled cart.

      • kazer on 27/04/2022 - 17:40
        +2

        this one specifically.

        • Ineedtoknowplease on 27/04/2022 - 17:45

          ahhh nice, didn't realise those links worked. Came to this too late rip

          • kazer on 27/04/2022 - 18:10

            @Ineedtoknowplease: nothings stopping you from trying your luck with the above link. as i said above i got the delivery confirmation in around 12 hours.

            • Ineedtoknowplease on 27/04/2022 - 18:11

              @kazer: Unfortunately it's saying that the item is out of stock in that link now, but thank you anyway.

  • Archdon on 27/04/2022 - 14:26

    Just had another chat with the Optus rep online, they pushed my order through for me and I finally got order confirmation (ordered 24/04). Seems like they got more stock?

    • XVX on 27/04/2022 - 17:57

      Plenty of us got order confirmation days ago but never got any tracking/delivery emails at all to let us know that the order was on its way as others have received. No idea how they prioritise these orders though, as it seems that people who ordered well after I did are saying they have tracking confirmation.

  • wizko on 27/04/2022 - 14:37

    Made my order on 23rd 10pm WA time or 1AM 24th Eastern Daylight Time, but still service pending. I have an order number ending in A so that's good.

    No clue how people ordering after me are getting it before me smh.

    • Archdon on 27/04/2022 - 14:39

      Are you a new customer? - Were you prompted to send through copies of your ID for the credit check?

      • wizko on 27/04/2022 - 15:36
        +1

        Nope. I think my ID went through fine automatically. Just chatted with them they told me they're just waiting for stock, ETA 3-5 days.

    • Doineedthis on 27/04/2022 - 18:08

      Ordered around the same time WA…delivery ticket in my door just now.

  • Impulse Buy on 27/04/2022 - 14:44

    My A8 128GB Tab got delivered today, online ordered about 10pm on Saturday. No rep intervention - order number ended with A, (I was an ex Optus customer).

    • ballistykx on 27/04/2022 - 14:46

      Lucky you, where are you based? I ordered mine at 8pm and nothing.

      • Impulse Buy on 27/04/2022 - 15:33

        I'm based in East Melbourne, if you got a dispatch SMS/email you should receive it.

    • R3XNebular on 27/04/2022 - 15:08

      This gives me hope, ordered 11:30p. No intervention either..

  • mainguyens on 27/04/2022 - 15:16
    +1

    You get the order number if you place the order. But once it is in stock, it will be sent out to you.

    But SAMSUNG is yet to provide a tentative date to us about when they will back up with the latest stock. So, unfortunately, we do not have an update here as when the new stock will come up.

    • optus reply me via live chat. Hopefully, it is still coming even though it has been a long time.
  • Whatisthatvelvet on 27/04/2022 - 15:26

    My 64Gb delivered this afternoon. Ordered about an hour after deal was posted.
    Amazon case came this morning after ordering it yesterday after delivery confirmation.

    • ow on 27/04/2022 - 15:28

      What case did you get? And how was it?

      • Whatisthatvelvet on 27/04/2022 - 15:48

        The JETech case linked earlier.

        Haven't had chance to open either but I have that case on my old Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 I got a few years back. It's been good for the price on that.

  • coolsteps on 27/04/2022 - 15:34

    received delivery note with correct IMEI addressed to my but welcome letter addressed to someone else. its a bit of a worry mabye the packers stuffed up. did the same happen to anyone ?

    • Impulse Buy on 27/04/2022 - 15:38

      I received two identical welcome letters (addressed to me) that looked like they'd been quickly shoved in the box. I'd say their printer is working overtime trying to print everyone's orders.

    • c64 on 27/04/2022 - 15:43

      my delivery note is correct. i'm waiting for my sim to activate

    • kodoq on 27/04/2022 - 16:54

      Yup, got someone details beside mine. A bit worrying.

  • lunartemis on 27/04/2022 - 15:37

    Another update: despite being told through online chat that ny order will take 6-7 weeks due to devices being out of stock, I just received a phone call telling me my device will be delivered within 5-6 business days.
    Anyone else had this?

    • Iluvfreebies-freeDel on 27/04/2022 - 15:41

      I was told the same via chat. Atleast my order is not on backorder or cancelled.

    Ordered at 6:30pm (Brisbane) on Sat 23.
    Immediate "ready for delivery" text/email.
    No comms about delivery but app's delivery section got info on Tue, and became trackable by startrack/auspost.
    Delivered at around noon today though auspost initially showed tomorrow.
    Again, thanks OP!

    • Whatisthatvelvet on 27/04/2022 - 16:40

      Yep same.

      Startrack even still shows now that it wss last scanned in Sydney last night. But got it delivered to Adelaide this afternoon

  • tarkine on 27/04/2022 - 16:35

        - 128gb is out of stock. Samsung have advised delivery of more this week.
        - 64gb is also out of stock. They're waiting for this as well. No delivery date shared.

    Unbelievable.

    Order from 26th: tracking confirmed on Startrack website

    Both to the same address. I was sure the ready for delivery on the order from the 26th was going to turn out to be nothing. Not sure what is wrong with their stock allocation.
