@lutrafs: Yes I was getting annoyed at that, just told the bot I was interested in a fridge instead and suddenly in a queue 🤭
It happens on me as well.
They just try any possible way not to price-match the item.
Here is the link from Apple to show Meagabuy is the authorised Apple reseller to show them.

Anyone have experience with these vs Sony XM5 Earbuds, using Pixel 10 Pro XL phone, wondering if these are an upgrade or not
I find the noise cancelling on XM4 better.
XM4 can pair 2 phones. XM4 also picks up when you are speaking better too.
But the microphones on the APP3 are better. Transparency is excellent too
I’m currently using an iPhone, so AirPods might be more compatible for me and maybe iOS is better integrated with AirPods. I’ve used the AirPods Pro 1st gen and the Sony WF-1000XM5. In noisy environments, I noticed the microphone quality on the Sony isn’t great - people often complain they can’t hear me well. I recently tested the AirPods Pro 3 at the Apple Store and found the noise cancellation and the mic quality much more powerful than the XM5 and can pick up clear human voices.
However, for true wireless earbuds, it’s important to see how they fit your ears. Personally, I think the in-ear fit of AirPods Pro 3 is more comfortable, but the shape of my outer ear isn’t ideal for them. The Sony feels better on my outer ear but sometimes doesn’t stay secure when I’m running. Maybe try them both! I am not sure where to test Sony but you can ask for a trial in Apple Store for AirPods.
Can Goodguys do price matching? I got $40 store cash just waiting and screaming at me to buy something.
probably do - but watch out a lot of apple products some stores dont like to price match
I bought it from OW $393. If i can get it in TGG I’ll return the one i bought in OW
JB said they wouldn't price match, calling MegaBuy a "primarily grey imports" webstore, TGG price matched online no issues!
Don't bother trying with JB HIFI, they give you BS talk - Megabuy is not in their list to compete on price match.
Looks like I am going to officeworks.
Are these lined with current gold prices or something?
Thanks OP, was able to price match with Rebel Sports. Had $82 worth of rewards points from the previous deal Effectively got it for $302 express delivery.
Cannot complain.
Great call w/ Rebel, super easy to PM online. Used 10% Rewards Gateway gift card and will claim TRS later this month. $309.68 final price.
Cheers, rewards gateway came in handy as well. Another +1 to RebelSports.
Thanks OP, got Apple to PM. Always good with Apple due to their great returns policy.
Wow how did you achieve this? Apple on the phone just told me “they’re in too high demand right now so we can’t price match” smh
Literally just rang and asked the question. I was put on hold for about 5mins and then said sure, we can do that.
Add discounted gift cards and they come down even further.
I'm glad i got these from Apple because i returned them on the 14th day lol
uncomfortable as all hell for me, i'm jealous of people that they work for because they are nice.
Price matched with free delivery at the good guys.
The model number on Officeworks and MegaBuy is the same, so shouldn't be any warranty problem as warranty under ACL will be he same.
I picked up a couple of pairs just now. Shipping for 2 pairs at MegaBuy is cheaper than 1, so make sure you show cart price on MegaBuy with 2 in cart if buying 2 or multiple, over them doing 5% off one with postage of $27.95 and then 5% off one with no postage ($414.14 - 5% + 386.19 - 5% = $760.31 = $380.15 each) vs ($788.33 - 5%= $748.91 = $374.45 each).
Flybuys has a 5 x point at Officeworks bonus at the moment, so check your app, not sure if it will also stack with OnePass 5x points at Officeworks as well.
Yes it should
The OnePass points come through after 24 hours but the x5 Officeworks bonus says within 4 weeks of promo end period, so those have not posted yet.
Just wondering for those that price matched at Officeworks, do you have to go into the store to price match or can it be done over the phone? Thanks
bought one from OW $366.77 Thanks OP
did you get it price matched in store or over phone?
Got mine price matched at Rebel over the website chat after getting declined at JB and being offered 413 at TGG.
Thanks!
I cannot do that as it's not available for click and collect in your location which is why the delivery fee may or may not be applied to certain price matches.
I kept getting turned down in officeworks/jbhifi, now also rebel, I guess I'm just unlucky..
even worse now:
Sorry the website does not qualify for price match as the items listed there are refurbished mostly.. also there are no specifications or description to verify that.. if you find the product elsewhere .. please do not hesitate to contact us.
Bought at JB $393 last night and returned. Called TGG and priced matched including their ridiculous shipping fee. I had $40 store credit and got that offset $374.
For Tourists Tax back how much do we get back after their admin fees etc? Do we have 3 months to claim from the time of purchase?
60 days within purchase. You get the GST amount back. No admin fees to my knowledge
How are you guys still claiming TRS? I thought that loophole was closed if you are bringing the item back in to the country?
"You can bring up to AUD900 ($450 if under 18) worth of general goods into Australia duty free".

Didn’t get my local OW to match this, apparently the megabuy post doesn’t indicate that it’s brand new or shows the warranty.
talked to 3 separate rebel customer service, finally got it matched without delivery fee! and used nib rewards (free membership) to get 7% off the rebel giftcard.
finally time to resale my air pods pro 1st gen.
@pwltbcso: BTW, how do you manage to connect to the TGG online chat? I keep getting
