the 5 never came in 64GB….
I just got it and I can confirm it’s the Mini 5.
It is showing as "Currently unavailable" on its website, so not sure if it can be ordered online. (https://www.coles.com.au/product/apple-ipad-5-mini-64gb-wifi…)
Where are you living? It shows it is available in sydney area.
I am in Melbourne and none of the stores nearby have any stocks.
Just ordered one online at Beeliar WA :-) Thanks for the link!
I had this issue even before the deal went live.
You need to set click & collect store in order to put ipad in cartBought one, thanks so much for the tips.
Legend, thank you!
I managed to order online, and received the confirmation email. Im in ACT.
Yep, placed an order as well. See how it goes.
Same. Click and collect. Expect it’ll get cancelled :(
Yep….just got cancelled
I placed an order too.
But is that locking in the stock.. or do they just try to pick it in the morning… and if the shelves have been cleaned out by shoppers instore… its tuff luck?Seems to be some level of stock control as not every store shows in stock, but don’t think logistically they’re capable of live stock updates… fingers crossed anyhow!
12 Month Warranty
30 Day Satisfaction GuaranteeWhere is this info sourced from? Can’t see it online nor in the catalogue
Its detailed at the bottom of the catalog page.
Thanks
Thanks OP, Ordered in West, victoria for a delivery. Paid 14$ extra. Yeah could have joined their trial for free delivery.
Ordered for click and collect at my local, let's see if I get it
Use code “NEW” for click and collect and get 10$ off on your first click and collect order
Too late! 😭
I just checked my emails and updated my click and collect 5 minutes before it was too late. Was gonna share the code, but you beat me to it :)
Dammit. Got up early this morning to go instore at 7am only to see it went live about midnight!
I had stayed up to order online at midnight but the deal wasn't showing for me and the small print said the promotion starts at 7am!
I ordered at $139 at 1.15 am in NSW. I had called the store yesterday to check if they had any (2) and picked up in 10-12 window this morning.
Just realised my comment reads like I missed out - I managed to order c&c at about 6.45am and picked up on the morning school run.
I might go in store this morning and see if i can buy one… but then i also have an order placed.
Do i need 2? I guess i could stick them back to back and make a double sided ipad. lolBest part about living in south of Adelaide is Coles Kurralta Park. Went in at 2am and grabbed one at my convenience.
👍
2am? That doesn't sound convenient for me
No luck instore.
The lady told me they'd not seen stock.
Said my online order which is click collect would likely be cancelled.
I've placed a second order with a different Coles now.
This system sucks…. if the store doesn't have stock.. it should be reflected.Exactly. I called before ordering.
Any suggestions of prepaid data SIM deals that would go well with this? Looking at low monthly data usage.
There was only one (Space Grey) in stock at Ingle Farm plaza and went in store and got it. Called around to Tea Tree plaza and some other stores they didn’t seem to have any stock. I’d say a lot of people are gonna get cancellations for their click and collects.
Picked up 2 in Indooroopilly Coles and there were plenty left!
My click and collect got cancelled. Saw your comment and drove to Indro. Lady in front of me got the last one (which she also did click and collect)
Damn, there were probably about 10 left after me but I was first in this morning at 7
Wow - went to Newmarket and got the last one - and its absolutely mint - not a mark on it - just charging it to see what the battery is like
I called the store my second click and collect is with, and they said they had one.
I asked if i should come right now to pick it up (even though i have a click and collect order).
The staff said they would take it to the click collect team and the fact i placed the order, it shouldn't go to anyone else. Of course i DON'T BELIEVE that.
If a shopper goes and picks it off the shelf BEFORE they process my order.. its gone.Anyway, i gave her my order number and name, and she said she'd put it aside.. which i doubt is the process. So not holding my breath.
Can’t pick off shelf for future reference. Hope you got one.
Thanks OP, picked one up this morning! It’s in Boost packaging and comes with a USB-A wall charger (not Apple branded) and no cord. Condition of mine would probably be “good” as it’s scuffed but no cracks. Confirmed this is the mini series by the way (I saw some debate in comments). Great deal overall imo!
Which store? Calling to 5 stores and they don’t have that in stock
Sorry, my store only had 1 left when I enquired so I can’t help. Good luck though.
Mine had a braided third-party Lightning cable next to the wall charger in the box. Maybe, you can contact Boost support for them to get you one? :-)
Braided cable for me too.
Same here braided cord
Braided cable look sturdy but don’t last. Bought XR phones, contacted them a couple of months later and they sent new cords.
I went into a few stores in Melbourne’s west without any luck and had click and collect cancelled as well.
Looks like might need some luck to get one.
My first click and collect was just cancelled also.
What a pain and waste of everyones time.
This is why i'm a Woolies customer. lolWoolies is just as bad
Got one in one of my local coles, rang at 6.30 and ask to put one aside and collected it at 7.30am
Testing my luck too, though I expect it to be cancelled. Wild that in 2025 Coles can't have a live stock level.
I managed to get 1 this morning at 9am at Coles Mernda. Unfortunately mine had a scratch on the front screen. I'm gonna return it.
let us know how you go with the return process
should be a non issue - 30 days to return for any reason whatsoever
i was more concern about the reason for returning. A scratch might be acceptable as it doesn't affect the functionality of the product plus as it's refurb, they might say some scratches are acceptable.
@angelkulit025: I haven't returned to them before, but it is a "satisfaction" guarantee so shouldn't be any dramas:
If you’re not completely satisfied, return it within 30 days
@angelkulit025: It states ‘premium refurbished’ - so a scratch on the screen may be seen as ‘unacceptable’
I went to return it in the evening due to work but there wasn't any manager around. I was asked to go back in the morning. I'll update tomorrow.
return was smooth and even the manager said that this is a refurbished item.
@easternculture: That's good to know. There are a couple of tiny scratches on mine which I can accept, but there are some weird smeared areas on the screen. There was a bit of resistance to swiping my finger over the glass too, like a tackiness.
When I first unboxed it I could see the smears from when it had been "cleaned".
I thought I had got rid of it all with some lens cleaner earlier and I put it back in the box, but I just checked the analytics file and immediately noticed the smeared areas are still there.
I'll give it another wipe with lens cleaner tomorrow - if it doesn't fix it I might have some hard thinking to do - but knowing Boost would swap it makes it a bit of an easier decision.
This is a courtesy notification that your Coles online order has been cancelled.
Why take the order?
Ordered online at 6.45am, was ready for collection at 8.15am.
Was asked if grey was alright? Better than pink, I replied.Looks in great condition - not a mark on the case. New, unbranded, charger and braided cable. $2 Boost mobile starter SIM. XD
The screen has a couple of patches light scuff / smudge marks - possibly from rubbing to remove residue of a screen protector(?) - near the edge and corners.
There are a couple of tiny scratches, but also a fairly long, faint, pencil-like mark in the middle - not a scratch, more of a discolouration. Will have to see how visible it is when the screen is turned on. The screen is a fingerprint magnet though - I assume any repellent coating has been cleaned off.
Have just plugged it in to charge up.I'm new to Apple devices, how do I test battery health etc, please?
You can check from setting - Battery.
Iphone have battery health - not sure if ipad have.Cheers
Managed to get one after visiting a 3rd store. First store didn't get any stock delivered, second only had one that was already sold by 8am. No scratches on the screen, a few very minor marks on the back edge (probably from a case rubbing on the back edge). Included was a new, unbranded, charger and braided cable and $2 Boost mobile starter SIM too. Sim card expires Oct 2025 though.
Managed to picked 2 up this morning. Confirmed that they will accept change of mind returns before paying. Opened them in my car, 1 was great condition but the other had a lot of fine scratches all over the screen. Went back to swap it for another and it came up in pristine condition - looks like it was well protected with screen protector and case as it looked like it was brand new.
Had to go to work after, otherwise it would be a great buy for relatives.
which stores?
Greenacres sa
They still have the one that i returned. Only slight surface scratches. Im sure it will be ok.
Coles just swapped it out for you?
You didn’t have to go through the return process?
So, better open it straight after buying it?Yea i confirmed before i paid and i got the same person when i went back in so she did it for me straightaway
I've tried to call several stores…. NONE answer the phone. Well 5 out of 6 don't.
They probably know its a stock query.Talk about confirming the terrible customer experience given by Coles.
I've given up ringing around.I have one click and collect at 12pm… which i have very little hope about…. and then i'm out.
I got one from Coles Parramatta Westfield at around 8 am
It still has 94% battery health, but unfortunately mine has quite a lot of scratches on the screen and two dents at the corners
The staff told me that they only accept returns if the product is faulty when purchased, not sure if I can return it or not
I'm not very happy with the conditionWell, they are wrong, dw. Read the bottom of page 46 of the catalogue. 30 day satisfaction guaranty. If Coles don't take the return then you just initiate it via Boost: https://refurbished.boost.com.au/pages/refund-policy
How do you check battery health? Mine doesn't have that option
You have to turn on Share Analytics for a day then download a Battery App.
Someone posted the details above.Thanks - seems I got super lucky then - device was in mint condition and 97% battery with just 44 cycles - win!
No stock in 10+ Coles stores around Parramatta - mix of calling and driving there as some just don't answer. Some stores never got any, others were allocated 2-3 but they flew out the door first thing. Click and collects from those stores all getting cancelled. Well done to those who managed to get one!
For those in Melbourne - as of 10:15am there were 2 left in Coles Yarraville
Managed to get the only 1 they had in my local Coles. Will open it up later at work.
surprisingly pristine physical condition - minus one small, faint scratch that you'd have to be searching for (at the top corner of the pad.)
I was fully expecting them to cancel my order, but just picked up from TTP. Cheers!
Shouldn’t advertise it if they don’t have it available to buy. tried two stores in person and told they had zero. Tried online order, accepted and then cancelled w/o reason. Called another, no stock. Customer service line gives you the run around, have nfi.
Got 1 of 2 via click and collect at 10am, refunded the other. Ok condition, surface scratches, 3rd party cable and 5W charger. Tried 1 other store for C&C but it cancelled.
Had my CC order for 10 am cancelled at 10:15. No explanations, just a "This is a courtesy notification that your Coles online order has been cancelled."
Went into Mt. Ommaney, QLD, and they had stock. Opened the box in front of the attendant and found a massive scratch on the screen. The manager comes in and swaps for another box, which had a device in fine condition.
Thanks OP, for those wondering about ACT, I called gungahlin, city and belconnen. None
Got one. Heaps of minor scratches but I guess it won't matter. Flat battery.
$2 SIM. Expiry 2025-10-01My SIM expired on 2024-08-14. Not sure how to check battery health on 17.4 os
Someone above has posted 'how to'
Oh… Currently 17.4.1
Updating
18.6.2Let's me know your experience with 18.6.2
@leop: Guess I’m the guinea pig for 18.6.2
Just tested YouTube and Netflix. They run fine.
Want me to try anything else?
Let me know too please. I have just been searching for advice whether to update or not (currently 17.4.1).
Although I thought the latest update is 18.8?
I got the order cancelled notification from Manuka, ACT
This deal is for ipad 5, not mini 5. Confirmed from coles online.
