Very interesting, so is there no price minimum for this?
yep
None that I can see. Added a cheap earbuds and entered my address that’s the closest to a JB store, free delivery for Uber popped up
Amazing!
Wow…
your move Amazon.
If more stores start doing this its gg for them.
This won't be a free service for long - it's only free as an intro promo or to try and compensate for prime weekend.
Amazon really has nothing to worry about.Or they'll offer it occasionally, like Chemist Warehouse. But yeah, expect it to cost $15 very soon.
JB definitely doesn't have the infrastructure to compete with Amazon, trust me.
I do trust you.
Amazon can reverse gg by announcing they've cut ties with Aramex. That stage 3 cancer of a courier company is the only thing stopping me from blindly throwing money at amazon.
Probably to counter Prime Day
They need to do more to achieve that.
Yeah start selling toilet paper.
They need to sell 5 ply at 3 ply prices
they need easy returns + s&s prices
As someone who is doing the Amazon return/refund/rebuy shuffle thanks to 40-60% drops in prices from literally 12 days ago, i wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Bleugh.
The Prime Day was a flop, no they don't need to do more..
they had this ~4-6 months ago when I bought something, under the guise of it being an "intro promo". It's probably to build awareness of the option and broadly to compete with the likes of amazon, but i doubt specifically for Prime day, unless they turn the promo on/off (I haven't been paying enough attention) for certain dates.
Uber left such a bad taste in my mouth after i tried using Uber Eats to order groceries from Coles :/
I suppose they won't mess up as badly with orders from JB Hifi in comparison to food items…
It's the driver, not the service. I've had three very successful shops with Coles via Uber. I've read that other have had horrible experiences with drivers getting the wrong products or others contacting them to the point of it being annoying regarding substitutions. It's cheaper than doing it through Coles and paying delivery though, so there has to be some sort of con, I guess.
Drivers are bad, but Uber don't care, so they are the same.
I have contacted uber about an incident over two years, and their response is get a lawyer.
When they could simply push few buttons on their end.In my experience the drivers were half decent… but items are often out of stock, which means the order total would fall under the minimum spend requirement and any promotions that applied at checkout would be revoked… pretty poor form
It's odd that applied promo's were revoked. My most recent Coles order with $20 off $50 spend, had out-of-stock items bring it down to ~40 and the $20 off was still applied in full.
@OpticalCog: That used to be the case, but they must have changed their policies recently, at least for my account anyway. Won't be using them again for a while.
We couldn't find Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vinyl so we found you a comparison item instead. We hope you enjoy your Taylor Swift 21 digital download!
Disclaimer: Soz no takesy backsies
Same with me. Uber support is as disgraceful as anyone I've seen. I had a huge stuff up with their Coles deal.
It's the same drivers. I won't be surprise if they mess up.
I'm assuming this would only be for small products like headphones or blurays etc
I dont think uber drivers are gonna be delivering tvs and washing machines……
Lets hope! As I don't see the guy on the 50cc scooter delivering anyone a 60" display.
Don’t go to Vietnam then!
Don’t forget the 3 kids they’d have on there too
Delivering a TV or a washing machines in 90 mins would be impressive
Hopefully JB hides the packaging so the uber drivers dont see what the person is ordering.
Used this service before and they packed the item in a brown satchel as if they were going to be posted.
Yeah, I haven't used it via JB but when ordering stuff from PLE Computers for work & using the uber delivery option it always comes boxed & taped up. Had the same concern as digitalco before it arrived
So like Coles Uber deliveries, what's the incentive for Uber to be doing this?
I would've thought they'd be "service fees" like with food deliveries but low-and-behold (to my amazement) its completely free.
I ordered 6 different Funko Pop! Vinyls and the only issue I encountered is order wouldn't initially go through as one of the items was from a different JB store. So I substituted it and order went through.
Keen to see how this all pans out in <90 minutes.
I'm guessing JB are just absorbing these costs, no free lunch here i reckon.
You're getting it confused with Uber Eats.
Items just got delivered.
Communication via SMS was very well done.
Bit silly to SMS you a code that's the last 4-digits of your mobile number.
Surely, a random code could be generated.
Was a Uber driver or Uber eats (bike) delivering your order?
Uber driver in a car.
Asked for 4-digit pin number and waited outside till I opened door to collect package.
No bike, scooter, or guy on foot.
I ordered a keyring ($9.98) with a JB Perks voucher. Got the order cancelled for some reason.
LOL
has to be more than $10, so add sth to pay a little.
I tried ordering a stick of RAM but the driver stole some of my chips.
So in all seriousness though, someone without a ute could order a tv and get it ubered over?
will be ubered over to the driver's house for sure
The guy drove Mazda 3 to my house, don't think it would fit
Hmm my brother has a 10 year old Honda Jazz and he can fit TVs up to 60" in the car.
Yeah because most uber drivers have raptors and hiluxes in my town.
In theory sounds good. But I've been so disappointed with Uber lately that I feel as though I'd be spinning a roulette wheel as to whether or not they actually arrive.
On a side note, I wonder who would be responsible for damaged goods?
Not sure if I trust Uber driver to deliver my iPhone 15.
Meanwhile Auspost takes 3 days to deliver within the same postcode…..
And that's WITH your taxpayer dollars paying the CEO's exorbitant salary
That is not at all how Australia Post works. It is owned by the government but operates as a private company and pays the CEO out of its own revenue. They also make a profit, so if anything they're contributing to the pool.
Yeah you're right, those Cartier watches were paid for with profits not tax dollars even though the current opposition leader seemed to think so:
“In Australia Post where you're talking essentially about taxpayer dollars, the Australian government, the Australian people are the shareholders in Australia Post, then it's unacceptable,” Dutton said.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/au.finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/ne…
Your turn
@King Steuart: I don't know what to tell you, the Australia Post annual financial reports are freely available and yes the watches came out of profit/revenue not tax payer dollars.
Dutton is saying that profits would have otherwise gone to government in the same way tax dollars do, it is not the same thing.
Tempted to order a 50c item just to stick it to Uber after some very lackluster service and no ability to get resolution from their customer support team 🤔
you'd be sticking it to JB, I would guess Uber will still get paid
Incorrect. Uber is footing the bill.
Source: Trust me bro.
Uber is a complete bloody joke these days.
I think it sounds good on paper, but it's highly dependent on the driver not to mess up
Can they deliver a medium sized TV?
If not delivered in 90 minutes is the item free?
Just can't get it to work - the uber option never shows up even though the store with stock is within the 20 km radius.
I had the same problem for most of yesterday. Showed up okay in the morning, then had disappeared around midday when I looked again.
Spoke to their live chat who told me that it simply wasn't available. I asked why because ilthe item I wanted - a vinyl record - met the criteria and the option was available earlier in the day. She then referred it to their Ops team and said I'd get an email response. Nothing yet though, 18 hours later.
Finally I can get my 100" TV delivered same day! :)
Poor Uber driver XD
I tried it twice. Ordered small things though cos I am lazy to go to the shops. 1st time the delivery person came in a small car, 2nd time was a bike. So I think this only works with small items.
It's actually really good but if the delivery cost me money I probably do this.Tried it this week. Very bad service from Uber Delivery.
Driver won't follow or not reading instructions, was rude and was asking for money as tip and to pay for his parking.
I've invested $50 allocated to 10 new $5 t-shirts delivered 1 per hour. I shall greet the Uber driver wearing the most recently delivered t-shirt.
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/collections/collectibles-and-merch…I hope they have the snarky attitude of JB staff. Will they search my bag too?
Strangely not available for 65" and above TVs otherwise good offer for phone covers and screen protectors
20km radius claim seems to be rubbish.
I was looking at buying a portable hard drive.
I live 12.5km from a JB Hi Fi store and it doesn't list the free 90 minute Uber delivery option
Another store is 13.5 km away and it also doesn't list the free 90 minute Uber delivery optionI'm 18km away from a store and have been waiting on a response to my complaint to JB about it for nearly 2 weeks.
Today, now that the free delivery offer is over, I have made a complaint to the relevant state department regarding False and Misleading Claims
I ordered some headphones and selected the uber delivery. The first driver driver to my house, sat in the car and then drove off and returned to the store(we could see him from the window). I then called JB and was told that the driver told them that no one answered the door (bullsh*t). JB were great though, and organised another uber delivery immediately and the second driver delivered my headphones perfectly. I guess it just depends on the driver as to how successful your delivery is…
That's interesting
