what does this mean?
fx82 thinks it's a great price. fx82 wouldve picked one up on the good guys deal. The only thing holding fx82 back is that these ipads dont wirelessly connect and charge with the newer apple pencils.
thanks for wasting your's & mine time 😂
thanks OP.. i missed the Gg deal the other day, gonna go with this
How do the other brands sell any of their sh1tty android tablets when this exists sub $500
By selling at $300?
they probably sell their non-sh1tty android tablets instead
well actually my aliexpress lenovo tablet was like $450 ish when I brought it I believe and no ipad or Samsung tab was close to that price back when I brought it in 2021
Great iPad - i've had it for around a month. Perfect for what I need. I have access to apple employee pricing so paid slightly less.
Non-laminated display didn't matter to me, and to be honest I couldn't even tell the difference in store. I was looking at the iPad Air also, but it's no way worth an extra $450.I have seen this comment of yours so many times now I started thinking you might be a bot haha
Dude I thought I was just having a glitch moment when I saw his comment again
Lol same.
He’s just really happy with his purchase and wants to make sure everyone really knows he’s happy.
Fair enough if you ask me. People who are unhappy with a purchase repeatedly post their experience everywhere. It’s nice to see a counterbalance.
I've always wondered what the Apple Employee discount is; can you give us a rough idea what the percentage off is? Is it better (or close to) Apple AOC?
Swear this is the 3rd time i've read this comment and its still around a month..
Can I pay in store if i pricebeat online?
You can only request a price beat at Officeworks by:
Going to a physical Officeworks store and asking staff for a price beat.
Calling 1300 OFFICE and requesting a price beat. My understanding is that if you get a price beat over the phone, you must also pay over the phone. (You can request to have the item delivered to you or do click & collect, where available.)
Can you earn flybuys / OnePass benefits when paying over the phone with Officeworks?
Yes
This is incorrect. You can earn flybuys over the phone. You cannot gain onepass benefits over the phone (x5 flybuys points). Has to be in-store, even if you call and do a C&C.
Officeworks has already reduced the price
https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/ipad-a16-1…The Officeworks website appears to have not reduced the price any further this morning, because I am still seeing $497 on their website (whereas the price on the Costco website is still $489.99).
What price are you seeing on the Officeworks website?
your understanding is correct. note you also cannot use gift cards to pay over the phone
Ozbargain delivers again - thanks!
Used OfficeWorks 5% Price Beat with free delivery, very nice!Costco iPad doordash gift card deal when 😤!!!
This is really good value. I bought one from Goodguys deal and very impressed. I reckon it's even better than the ipad air I had. Now I think for double the price, ipad air is rubbish.
which ipad air was that? are you talking about the latest ipad air?
Not really, the 3rd gen. Failed twice already on the screen.
i thought stores don't pricematch with Costco because of the "membership"?
So did I, but managed to price match costco at JbHifi last week "even though we don't normally do it" and called 1300OFFICE to successfully price beat this one, so I guess on some deals they don't mind it

I swear I am not, mods.
Username checks out. Thanks for creating Apple products
Your welcome
Gotcha!
Thanks for posting! Called to pricebeat and it all worked. Going to pick up later today.
How do one get price beat without officeworks mentioning Costco membership fee?
They didn't mention the Costco membership fee.
Damn bought one with gift cards at $497 early morning
Prolly calling them and mentioning the PB could get them to refund of $31.5? I had done this in the past (yrs ago) and they had assisted
Wasn't going to do it but though that's not the ozb way. Staff member did an exchange and refunded the difference. I hadn't opened it yet but still wasn't sure if I have to do that but it worked well. Goes towards kids Case and screen protector for it
Was at Officeworks going to pay $497, went to OzB to check the model and price, saw this price beat. Cheers!
Had sucess via 1300 OFFICE, easy pay over the phone then collect at a local store that has stock.
Great iPad - i've had it for around a month. Perfect for what I need. I have access to apple employee pricing so paid slightly less.
Non-laminated display didn't matter to me, and to be honest I couldn't even tell the difference in store. I was looking at the iPad Air also, but it's no way worth an extra $450.Bots posting on ozbargain now???
Can I use it with the apple pen?
Yes
Looks like only the Apple Pencil (USB-C) is compatible with this model.
Apple Pencil 1st Gen is also compatible and has pressure sensitivity, which the USB-C doesn't have.
o wow, thanks for that. I assumed that usb-c one would be better in all aspects.
You’re right! Looks like it would need an adapter though:
https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MWML3AM/A/usb-c-to-apple-…
@nickeveli: The adapter now comes with the 1st Gen. See the "what's in the box" here https://www.apple.com/au/shop/product/MYQW3ZA/A/apple-pencil…
@akent: Does this mean that previously you needed to buy the adapter separately?
I am getting pencil for much cheaper from local IT store but if he gives without adapter, would that mean that stock is very old?
@ChipsChicky: I don't know for sure but yes I think you're right, there's 1st gen "newer stock" e.g. JB calls it Apple Pencil with Adapter (1st Gen)
Has anyone checked OF instore price match with Costco and they agreed?
I want to use my OF gift card
ThanksIf by OF you mean OW then yes they price beat costco in store.
YES, OFFICEWORK
Thanks, I will go instore soon.
When you are OFs Addict 😂
Can confirm that OF won’t price beat but other things do get beat when it’s involved.
Can also confirm that OW will price beat Costco. Other things being beat is up to you.
Price beat at OW works against Costco. Also stacked with Ultimate gift cards at Coles for a further 10% off and used my CBA Yello offer @ Coles to get a further $20 cash back. Note, I bought the gift cards yesterday as the CBA Yello offer expired yesterday.
Legend!
What was CBA Yellow offer and does that works if you buy giftcards? Ultimate giftcards work at OW? Which ultimate GC you bought and did you use it in store?
It was this deal - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/902835
And yes I got my cash back from CBA. The rule didn't state you couldn't use gift cards so I took the punt and it worked. It has worked previously for me as well the last time this deal was available.
I bought the ultimate "thank you" cards and it worked at OW.
Coles 10% off on Everyone giftcards which you can use it in OW.
Curious - did you pay with the Ultimate gift cards online with the price beat or at pick up time?
My online Price beat at OW against Costco worked, but they would only accept creditcard. Click and collect though
I purchased in store with the gift cards
Thanks!
Which ultimate GC you bought? Are they still available at 10%off at coles?
@jlay5: Thanks, how you bought more than 5 GCs? Did you get all of $100? Is there any limit to how many GC's you can use for payment in store? I need to buy two ipads so maybe looking for more GC's.
@ChipsChicky: I just went to another Coles as I have a few that is in close proximity to my home and my wife was with me so can use multiple flybuys cards. No $100's available so I had to buy $50 GC's. No limit to gift card in store according to this which is what I based my calculated purchase on - https://gcdb.com.au/offer/6403/ , however YMMV … this one I can't confirm. I successfully used 9 at my OW store and the great lad that served me didn't even flinch.
@jlay5: Do you have Costco Membership? Or I can do it without it as well?
I have $200 in Flybuys dollars as well, so will stack that also. I hope that will work.
@ChipsChicky: Technically I don't, but my wife does but I didn't need it when I asked at the counter.
Confirmed in store price beat in WA.
Have the 10th gen, should I upgrade?
any iPad Pro 11" M4 deals?
confirmed in store price beat at OW, then paid with shopback OW GCs to save a little more.
how much is off at shopback GC's? Why not ultimate GC's at 10% off?
Hmm officeworks don't think they pricebeat vs Costco because the excuse is Costco requires membership and it's not available to public!?
Try a different staff member/store.
Farkin inconsistency. Price matching with random luck of draw
If you stack with apple gift card deal, you can buy directly from Apple for $485 incl. free delivery. Just picked one up.
If you stack with utimate 10% gc you can get it for $418.50
Does Apple price match that much?
I was referring to buying it at OW with the now expired price beat.
Wonder anyone knows when the pricing ends?
COSTCO deals ends on 14th
Officeworks changed their price to $489
Thanks OP, returned my silver from the other day and got blue.
Worst day ever for my ozb life :). Went to the local OW to confirm that they do price beat. Went to Coles but bought the wrong gift cards and got no discount. Went back to OW then was told their price is now $489.
Why you proceeded for payment of GC's when no discount appeared on the screen? Can you return them?
Yeah, I was stupid, forgot to check the amount. I called them and also spoke to the staff at the store. No, the gift cards cannot be returned except for technical issues.
Dang. Sorry mate.
Now hand in your badge.
Same with me as well. Team is not helping in this one, and I need to use anyhow this amount now
Have you bought it from anywhere now?
Those who got it, from where or which Case you are getting, also is the tempered glass compatible with those tough fluffy cases? @jlay5 @BaarOzGain @Luluthecatdog @Asx10000 @sticky8anana
Great price. Wouldve picked one up on the good guys deal. Only thing holding me back is that these ipads dont wirelessly connect and charge with the newer apple pencils.
