the deal reads Only 50 units. Good Tablet for the price, even better deal if you can get the Powerbuy $70 Cashback. http://www.powerbuy.com.au/lenovo-thinkpad-tablet/
Unfortunately i am unable to put the correct link in as i get: This deal might have already been previously posted here ($249+Shipping THINKPAD Tablet 16G Wi-Fi 10.1ips Nvidia Tegra2 Dual Core ONE Hour ONLY 22-Jul-12). even when the date is different Sorry.
Deals Direct 30% off might be another option.
Deals Direct 30% off <- cheaper
Have you got a url for this offer?
If so, would you please post it :)
already posted above.
Was asking about the Deals direct 30% which was why it was posted under the @ccwayne comment.
I have also found the offer details so no help needed anyway - thanks to OP and @ccwayne for the heads up.

$259.95 incl. Post
Take the powerbuy cashback off and its $189.95
So roughly the same price, plus or minus a few dollars postage.. but you can get it now!!
Incorrect. The Deals Direct model is not 3G (wifi only).
So is the Shopping Express one..? "3G No"
LOL reading fail…
here we go again, stocks will be gone before your eyes.
Is it better than CUBE U30GT ?
Reliability wise,levono is probably more reliable.
Resale value, levono wins.
Specs wise, U30gt wins.
Community support wise, U30GT wins.
Exterior wise, U30GT is way better!!
In short, get U30GT if you can find a reliable seller.
I have one of these, they are good :)
Sometimes crashes though.
love my Lenovo Tab, great product.
I wonder if those bought this tablet from Centrecom deal $399 for 2 can claim cashback from Powerbuy or not? I don't see why they can't but it seems that everyone missed out coz no one mentioned about the cashback in that post.

Maybe they were overjoyed with their $200 tablet and missed out the extra $70 cash back.
Only $50, because you did not reserve the cash back claim first.
Nevertheless, very interested in anyone who enjoy such a big gift from Lenovo.
that will make it the best deal $150 (or $130 if you reserve the claim first) for a dual-core tablet with Digitizer Pen and this is Lenovo brand not some no-brand chinese tablet.
Well technically Lenovo is chinese :P But I know what you mean.
I am really looking forward to buy this plz suggest me which one should i choose samsung galaxy 7.7 or google nexus or this one, But it looks pretty cheap if you particular looking for 10'1..
it is enough for most android apps. There are no good Android apps for the advanced hardware.
can anyone tell me where is the 30% off from dealsdirect? I can only see the price 349.95 on their website, also is the powerbuy cashback valid for any of these website purchase? thanks
Can anyone tell, if they have got cashback from powerbuy?
I could not find Shoppingexpress as a reseller on lenovi site.
I Bought the lenovo from Dealsdirect about two weeks ago 30% off. And Submitted the Powerbuy cash-back a few day later. The cash back was approved within a few days and i am waiting on payment. I chose the Cheque option so payment will take longer. You have the option of having it payed directly into your bank account. I know this doesn't answer your question RE Shoppingexpress, But i don't see there being a problem claiming the cash-back with Shoppingexpress. Just my opinion.
My dealsdirect 30% off invoice is quite strange. It states the price as $349.95, but the total is $259.91 with no mention of the 30% off. Was your invoice like that? Did Powerbuy ask questions?
Yes my invoice was the same as yours. No powerbuy just sent me an e-mail stating. Please note that I have now approved Claim No ****. But until i receive the cheque can't be 100%
Awesome! Good luck. :)
Thanks.
Got one from the deals direct sale the other weekend. I missed out on the centrecom deal so made sure to register for the cashback before buying around 30 minutes later. Got the email a couple confirmation a couple of days later and the money in my account a few days after that.
Got one in the last deal for $190 delivered after cashback, I'm happy with it, I thought it was going to be thicker than it actually is after reading some comments but it's pretty slim, I can't complain for a Tablet under $200 bucks.
how about your power button? Mine is dangerous, very loose.
@gagans, I'm still waiting for the $70 cashback from Powerbuys.
Just out of interest how long have you been waiting, has it been approved, did you opt for Cheque or DD.
Thanks. Was it approved?
and I hope you purchased it from shoppingexpress.
THIS PRODUCT HAS POWER BUTTON PROBLEM, JUST BE VERY CAREFUL!!!

No power button problems for me, everything seems fine, every gadget has problems, (iphone 4 Antenna for one) i'm very happy with mine.
@arsenal1 about 3 weeks?
It's 8:07, been refreshing ever since 7:58… SCAM? Still at $319
same here…
It is still saying as $319 as at 8:09… Waste of Time…???
Its 8.10pm now and deal still not up…..what a waste of waiting since 8pm
I submitted a ticket to them asking them to explain. Because this is, essentially false advertising… >.>
I have done the same…
Deal not on - what a joke!
8.18pm deal is still not on, says 319.00 what a rip off
Thinking about buying at 319 then asking for the 249 price later….too risky?
I just did that, ie bought at $319. If they don't honour the price, I've got the screen shots handy if they want to play. But seriously, I thought the price would change at some stage of the checkout process, but it didn't…I paid with CC via Paypal just in case.
I think you agree on T&C so 319 is 319.
I wouldn't do that, I'm not trusting them with any of my money, because legally, they're allowed to honour it at 319, because you legally entered a contract with them, abiding by the terms and conditions at the time of the sale.
They probably set the server to alter the prices at the wrong time or something, so if "Epic Hour" is miraculously at 3am in the morning, you'll know why….
Also just then the Lenovo Tablet on DealsDirect went out of stock, which means it probably won't be in stock at 6am tomorrow either… http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/lenovo-thinkpad-10-1-16gb-bt…
ARRGGGGGHHHH!!! ><
It's like these companies don't want our money :'(
What's the bet that it'll 'miraculously' come back into stock after the 30% sale finishes tomorrow…
Too true… sighs It's hard being a consumer these days :/
Your right, just checked their site and its back in stock.. hmmm?
Such a lier!
Alright, I'm calling this a dud deal.
Epic Hour? More like Epic Fail on Shopping Express's part…
No more trusting epic hour from Shopping Express..
time wasted = shopping express
another email goes to my spam list…
EPIC LIE, EPIC WASTE OF TIME
9pm. EPIC HOUR ends forever!
you mean fails forever? :P
What else can I say? So disappointed. Hours of research on the tablet ended up to be wasted.
not easy to save a bit of money i guess
As expected! Just like the LAST epic FAIL SALE!
This company is on the same level as MEGABUY.
What an effing disgrace!!!
Why do they bother sending emails for phoney deals?
Unless they honour this price - I'll go out of my way to neg them every time they try this scummy false advertising.
I'll be replyimg to their BS email about this - and tell them to shove their
future timewasting crap back where it belongs (where the sun don't shine)
Hi All,
We deeply apologize for the price error on our Epic hour. For this below par performance on our end, we are providing an offer below:
Everyone that waited for this deal to happen on the night 12-8-12 8pm - 9pm AEST, please private message me your shoppingexpress username/registered email address by 23:59ap AEST 13-8-12
Please put on Heading of message: Epic Hour
By tomorrow 14-8-12 12:00pm, we will announce the compensation for you on this post.
I have sent you a private message with my username and email, I hope you guys can honour the deal, thanks!
I have send my ozbargain username & email id to you.. Please advise how we go from there..
For compensation epic hour price + Free Shipping would be much better..
So WHY are you still displaying it a day and half later?
This STINKS !!
Hi All,
Once again we would like to apologize to those that participated and could not get the deal.
Everyone that has sent me a message yesterday will be rewarded a Free Shipping coupon code as a compensation.
Coupon Code: freeship-vip2
please apply this at your shopping cart before you checkout on your next order - to get the delivery waived.
This free shipping code can be apply on any products on our site including Epic hour deals.
Yours Sincerely,
Shopping Express
Sounds good, thanks. Now for the million-dollar question… when will the Thinkpad Tablets be on sale next?
What happened anyway?
We are planning on the next sale for tablet, but no definite date yet. You can find out through ozbargain when someone (including myself) post here, or from our newsletter annoucement.
For the epic hour, we set a wrong time on the promotion…
Thanks for the update. Appreciate your efforts.
To clarify, this is in addition to dropping price back to $249 right?
If it truly was "wrong time" set on promotion then you should have plenty of stock to shift.
If compensation is just free shipping ie $12.05, this is a bad deal.
Should they send you a personal masseuse as well? ;)
I notice they still promoting this tablet on their EPIC HOUR page !!!!
I just don't think they are serious - despite the feedback over this disgraceful piece of false advertising - they are STILL doing it!
The compensation of free shipping only applies when you are buying a new item or Lenovo tablet at the original price which is $319 from them. I rang them up specifically ask for it and that's answer I've got. If you were lucky enough to complain yesterday, they were still honour the EPIC HOUR price, but plus shipping charge. It's all sold out anyway!
If you read their post above:
We are planning on the next sale for tablet, but no definite date yet.
That means it'll be on sale again soon.
After sending them an email expressing my disappointment with the Epic Hour fail, I got a reply saying they will honour the price for me. So I placed my order and they manually adjusted it to $249 price. Pretty happy as I did not expect that, thanks SE. I am a registered user of SE so not sure if that made a difference. Now to submit my Powerbuys cashback….
I will wait tomorrow to see
Lenovo tablets prices are up already and it is no stock .
We left just with probably empty promises. The fair deal is organise
deal for people missed buying by SE fault.
Having read into the Lenovo TPT a little bit, it doesn't seem like such a great unit anymore given the reports of the dodgy power button and overall poor OS support from Lenovo.
I think the Acer Iconia A500 from MLN for $218 shipped is a better buy if you're after a 10.1 inch tablet and don't mind not having digitizer pen support: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/77526
