Is this from auspost app or the StarTrack website?
The StarTrack website direct will give you a more accurate delivery date.
It’s the same for both startrack website and Auspost app, showing delivery updated from Thursday to Friday
Received the invoice and the tracking number at 1:00.
@jimojr Does this invoice has full price or discounted price ?. Do they charge GST for TRS claim ?.
Thanks !
woohoo ordered 4pm 2 x 128gb and got startrack saying coming today!
That’s fast!
Out for delivery!!!!
Good for you sister/brother/other
Anyone left out? ordered around 7.50pm 128g white, still no tracking yet in australia post app
You’re not alone only 1 of 2 orders shipped for me. They charged for two happily though 🫠
Me too
Ordered 2.30pm 128GB green. No tracking in Auspost or email from Amaysim.
wow that sucks for you, i ordered a green too 128gb at around 4pm and got tracking coming today
Why 128 ? Just curious
Nothing for me. On top of that credit (debit) hold released and funds back to account. Waiting to chat to see if it is cancelled.
That would annoy me to no end if they made an error and cancelled your order. Use a professional e-commerce software like shopify if you want to flash sale stuff!
what time you order and what model
I spent 25 minutes on the phone for my relative. They will not send an invoice until it is sent and they will be sent. They say.
I got an invoice for the one I didn’t get a tracking for yet. But it’s the standard invoice you get when you pay for the mobile services.
About 1 pm and 128GB green.
@c2pv1ru5: 1pm means you were one of the first?
i ordered 128gb green as well at 4pm and mines coming today
so there is no excuse why they cancelled yours
@life is suffering: I dont really need another phone, so for me its price ratio. 64GB to 128GB is +$24. 128GB to 256GB is +$50. So I choose 128GB.
@c2pv1ru5: Same train of thought. This phone is for my dad and now I'm thinking shud have got the 256 but he doesn't use that much either. Just the consumerism kicking in me
@life is suffering: 128 was the sweet spot. 256gb in a phone that backs up photos to iCloud seems redundant. 64gb is too small for me now.
256gb in a laptop though is cold murder by Apple should be 512gb starting.
@checkingthisout: Yeah makes sense. Thanks :) yeah woerd storage options by apple also 64 who's that for ?
@life is suffering: I used to get 64gb as it was the starting. Now 128gb would be my starting. I mean it costs Apple nothing vs the retail cost.
Ordered two. No tracking info received as of now.
I got the tracking number in an email with the subject "Your invoice is here". This email came at 9 Feb 1:04AM. Tracking shows order was shipped 8 Feb 9:24pm.
I got the invoice email with an empty tracking number around midnight!!! wtf is going on?
same happened for one of my orders
What about your other order?
it had tracking numbers for the others. looks like they shipping in batches… like all the blues of certain storage, then all the whites of certain storage etc,
Got my tracking number at 1am and already delivered! For those still worrying it is definitely not a refurb.
You must live in Sydney, my one will be delivered tomorrow, I am in Melbourne.
Location doesn’t seem to affect when your new phone is being delivered. Seems like they’re sending these out in no particular order.
Sydney here and no updates or tracking.
Mine was sent out from Sydney. I bought it at 2:00pm.
Yep Sydney here
Aussie stock?
How do i tell?
Put in serial number in Apple warranty check website and you should get 2 years standard warranty if Aussie stock.
@zzzman: Even Aussie stock will only show 1 year of warranty on Apple website. The extra year is applicable for Aussie stock but won’t be shown. I just checked my 13 PM.
Check your model number in settings, should end with X/A if it’s Aussie stock, iirc.
@hawkeye93: Model number is MGE43X/A (white 128gb) so I guess its Aussie then. This is my first iPhone so I really have no idea!
Did you get the tracking number in email or via AP app?
got my tracking number in an email with title 'your invoice is here'
I got the invoice email with an empty tracking number. :(
Still no tracking number :(
Just got my deliveries 😌
Lucky buggar! Amaysim has outdone themselves with lightning fast processing and deliveries (for some).
Can you check serial number and confim if they're Australian stock?
Apple Warranty says:
Please activate your device
We’re unable to display coverage details because your device hasn’t been registered. Please contact your Apple product retailer or your wireless carrier to register this deviceNote: Warranty service doesn’t depend on registering your device.
MPN on box says MGED3X/A (for Blue 256GB) and A2399 which is an Australian model I believe
Can confirm it comes with a $2 physical sim pack even if you ordered esim. As well as Optus info sheet for Sonichub, Amaysim pamphlets and delivery note etc
Received an email at 1am saying
"Here's your invoice,
It's nearly here and we're getting your order ready for shipping!
You can find all your invoice details below.
Identification must be produced to accept the phone delivery."
It also gave me the Star Track Info for tracking, and says it is due to arrive by tomorrow
I was probably last one to order so have not any hope…finger crossed
Seems random. Was one of the first to order, but have yet to receive tracking. Money taken.
expect their 2nd wave….
Of what?
fans
They sell fans? 🫠
dont know.. just missed the deal.. hope they'll have another deal sooner…
got the tracking, in Melbourne and will get the device tomorrow 256gb blue and purple.
Mine just got delivered!
Can confirm it comes with a physical sim and a proof of purchase from Amaysim / Optus for warranty purposes.
When you ordered, did you request a physical sim or esim ?
I only had the option to choose esim.
Same here.
I prefer a physical sim.
do you mind me asking when did you receive your tracking number and how long did it take after that to receive your order?
Got tracking 6pm yesterday, so about 15 hours.
Received an email confirmation that both phones will be in the same parcel but still stuck on “Ready for processing” 👎
"Upon checking your device is still not shipped and we are still preparing for it to be ship out. We would like to ask for your patience considering that there is a high volume of orders for the past few days, we understand that you want to receive your device as soon as possible however you also still have to wait for the other email with your tracking number so you can locate it via startrack.com.au"
Ordered mine at 6.20pm, just check with customer service and got the same reply as well.
Same.
Do you get a proper actual tax invoice in the delivery?
I assume can TRS the GST if traveling
Mine just got delivered!
Can confirm it comes with a physical sim and a proof of purchase from Amaysim / Optus for warranty purposes.
Not in the delivery. The tax invoice will be through your email. It does show the GST amount but that includes the price of the plan. So not sure how TRS will work.
As long as you bought the 256gig version as it's the only one that is over $300.
or as long as you bought more than one.
I thought you could only buy 1 phone per transaction? Or would multiple invoices be accepted by TRS to meet the $300 threshold?
@xers: Yes. Multiple invoices from the same retailer (ABN) count towards the $300 threshold.
https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/GST/In-detail/Rules-for-spec…
A traveller may claim a refund under the TRS if the purchases meet the following requirements.
- The purchases are from a single business with the same Australian business number (ABN) and total AUD$300 (GST inclusive) or more. For example, if you bought items from one business, even on separate invoices, that together total AUD$300 the goods were purchased within 60 days of departure from Australia.
- The traveller has original tax invoice/s for the goods.
- The travelling passenger paid for the goods.
- Carry or wear the goods on board the aircraft or ship as cabin baggage unless they are oversized or subject to aviation security measures and the airline requires them to be checked in as hold luggage.
- Present their tax invoices (in English), goods, passport and boarding pass to the TRS facility when departing Australia.
- Make the claim at the TRS facility at an airport at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time or 60 minutes if travelling on a cruise.
I believe, based on the quantum of orders Amaysim will take couple of more days to process all orders.
Anyone planning on trading this in for an s23 ultra?
Delivered this morning (Melbourne) 128gb white, came with a physical SIM - though only had the option for eSIM during checkout. Ordered yesterday around 5pm. What a deal!
must be near airport. mine shows today but I think I wont get it today
It's so funny seeing people keep asking if the iPhones are new or Australian stock or not. They are 100% Aussie stock and brand new (as advertised) if they are sold by Amaysim. Even the price is so cheap, Apple still makes money from this tiny size model.
I don't think amaysim is making money on the phones
Amaysim makes money by providing sim card service/plans (or get a bit more earnings/commission from Apple). Apple gets the major profit from the devices have been sold, not from the Amaysim service plans.
Apple makes money from their store even if the iPhone is sold at a loss.
It's not only about making money. The longer they hold onto these stocks, the more they lose value and have to pay for storage space.
It makes sense to get rid of them.
I dont get these “tiny size” comments. I purchase the mini because I want a small form factor phone.
If I wanted a big phone I’d buy a normal iPhone. But I dont. And it’s why I recommend this phone to relatives. As it’s small enough for a pocket and fast enough for anything they do.
I agree.
People keep ragging on about the battery life but who cares, what do you expect in a small phone?
I currently have a 14PM (these phones aren't for me) but when I had a 13 mini, it was much more convenient than carrying a phablet.
I actually wouldn't mind a ZenFone 9, those things are pocket rockets!
Not delivery related comment. Anyone else rooting for the post to get to 1000 upvotes?
Yeah it should make it, bet some people wouldn’t vote until deal is actually fulfilled.
Anyone had their order cancelled? I hope not.
Some folks already received the phones and a lot of us didn’t even get the tracking yet.
Days ago mine cancelled, reordering a different size & colour worked as received tracking still very mad !
Phone was shipped last night! Thank OP!!
