User edit 0740 9/5/13: Price adjusted. Now $129 ($29 after cashback).

Edit 1100 10/5/13: Cashback exclusion list now includes DSE. Purchase at your own risk.

Edit: Here is the reply from D-Link via email: "This new Ts and Cs only applicable for any purchases from 10/5 onward".

Edit: Here is a clearer cut-off point, straight from their again-updated terms and conditions: "Limit 1 per person per household only. Excludes Officeworks, Dick Smith, E-Bay & Unauthorised E-Tailers, applicable to all other retailers and channel and cannot coincide with any other offers. DIR-865L purchases from Dick Smith after 10/5/2013 10am AEST will not be eligible for this offer (previous purchases before 10/5/2013 10am AEST will be honoured)."

So that is it. The deal technically expire now since they no longer offer cashback for purchase from dicksmith. HOWEVER, REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS PRICEMATCH AT JBHIFI OR HARVEY NORMAN, IF YOU CAN FIND STOCK AT DICKSMITH

Basically, the same deal at Dicksmith at http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/101972 but D-Link just have their new cashback promotion where they give $100 Cashback to purchases at ANY AUSTRALIAN STORES (except Officeworks).
I have checked dicksmith stock around Melbourne and plenty have stock.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

  • Limit 1 per person per household only. Excludes Officeworks, E-Bay & Unauthorised E-Tailers, applicable to all other retailers and channel and cannot coincide with any other offers.
  • You must print out the final step of this on-line redemption form, signed and attached the copy of proof of purchase before posting it to D-Link. Unsigned form will be rejected.
  • All claims must be received by D-Link no later than promotion cut-off date.

      You should have run to the store right after placing your order, just like what I did, and grabbed the last one in the store…

  • Amaris on 08/05/2013 - 16:01

    Was this a price mistake on the part of Dick Smith? I can't find any brand new units below $199 on Staticice and Myshopping. I got one and I am not complaining.

    • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2013 - 16:06

      No, probably not a pricing error. The box I got had a big "clearance" sticker on it. They had this on sale for $126.75 two weeks ago and it clearly still didn't sell well because there was still plenty of stock, so they reduced the price further to $84.50 last week. And then D-Link decided to offer a $100 cash back, which is probably based on the expectation that most retailers are still selling this for $200+.

  • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2013 - 16:14

    I just don't want it to get 'lost' in the mail.

      oh yes, and call confirm they received and note down the persons name, date and time of the call.

      Remember the Braun deal, I posted two claims (as per the guidelines) in a same envelope and received only one cash back, ppl on the phone were far from not helpful.

    Called JB at Indooroopilly in Brisbane and they said they were sent a memo which stated the DS price was an error.
    Called two Harvey Norman stores who refused to match because there was no stock around.

      JB Hi-Fi Malvern just gave me a call in response to an e-mail telling me the same thing. Moorabin Harvey Norman replied telling me they don't stock the model, even though the website shows it as in stock. Looks like retailers are already responding to the deal.

      Update: Holmesglen Harvey Norman won't price match as Dick Smiths has no stock.

    I ordered one online at 11h04 for "Click and Collect" at the Sunbury store and not wanting to be left hanging by them calling and advising that they do not have stock, I called the Caroline Springs store as online indicated Low Stock, the guy advised that he had 1 in stock, I asked him to hold it for me as i will collect after work today. At least I knew then that if I could get 1, i would pass the other to any other OZBs. At 12h35, Sunbury store called and advised that they do not have any in stock, hence my order cannot be fulfilled. An hour later, a guy from Caroline Springs called and asked if i definitely wanted the product as he has a few enquirers. I told him to hold onto product and i will collect after work today. I went to store and collected at 16h30 today, guy instore informed me that he had about 35-40 telephone calls and about 20 people walk into store looking for this product. I am glad i got one, Thanks OP.

  • PLANT on 08/05/2013 - 17:35

    So you put the serial number online, what's involved in the next 4 pages to complete.
    Got one for mate in Vic and 2 in QLD just picked up….so waiting for receipts.

    • maf101 on 08/05/2013 - 17:38

      It asks where you purchased it from (store name, suburb) and your personal details (name, address, email, phone). It doesn't ask for banking details so I assume they'll send a check. You print the last page and sign it. It doesn't ask for receipt/invoice numbers.

      • easternculture on 08/05/2013 - 18:17

        yeh its a check, i called them earlier

        Was hoping that it would be a visa or eftpos card

        Just a note: you do have to provide proof of purchase. Quoting from the 'print and mail this to D-link' page:

        TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS OFFER:
        Please print this form, sign and mail it together with a legible copy of proof of purchase.

        • unity1 on 08/05/2013 - 18:35

          Correct, but a copy is sufficient. There is no need to supply the original receipt.

        • maf101 on 08/05/2013 - 18:43

          Good point. I see how my comment might confuse people.

          I'm only referring to the online form. I didn't have to give them my receipt number but I did post a copy of my receipt with my claim.

  • LoCure on 08/05/2013 - 18:02

    Thanks OP, manage to get one at JB-HIFI Chatswood, the dude was negging l wasn't able to provide the original receipt to price match but do it for me at the end. Here's the receipt http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/814/16247/receipt1.jpg

    So what's the deal with the receipts. If I show JB-HIFI a receipt of another price match then will they offer me the same price without checking if local stores have stock?

  • tikei on 08/05/2013 - 18:06

    can someone please be so kind as to post a pic of the box? I was in a dse store (for something else) and saw one single d-link cloud router, I looked at the dse page for this deal and the title was "D-Link AC1750 Dual Band Wireless Cloud Router" so i was searching for d-link items with big 'AC1750' on the boxes and didn't see any. Now that I'm looking at the ozb page again, made me realise that single box may have been it. I thought it was a different model because the price tag was not $84, it was $87~…

    can i please see a picture of the box?

      • unity1 on 08/05/2013 - 18:50

        UPC code ………… /NAU
        790069XXX266

        Serial number starts with R3QX1XXXXXXXX

      • tikei on 08/05/2013 - 21:57

        the one I saw was a white box. For a second I was relieved that the one i saw wasn't the same as yours, but reading easternculture's comment about his box being different made me unhappy again lol.
        Saw on dse site they have several d-link routers, but only one in the $80 range. Even though the one I saw was listed as $86/87 and not the official $84, and no 'AC1750' in big bold font (didn't read the small letters), I'm thinking there's a high chance that was the right one. I hate myself :(

    • maybeamacy on 08/05/2013 - 20:11

      There was a Cloud router with modem as well that was like $200…the sales guy got confused when he put one away for me.

      • tikei on 08/05/2013 - 22:15

        That particular dicksmith only had one d-link router and it wasn't $200.
        I was confused with the model/name of this item.. should've referred to ozb page rather than dicksmith official site which doesn't have 'DIR-865L' in the title. I went to dicksmith for a different product, not for the router so technically I didn't waste petrol/time for this. Still… I just wish i hadn't seen this deal, I would've been so much happier lol.

    • Click and Collect successful in a not far away DSE….
    • They called me 10 mins after and said they sold it same time as they want to put in aside for me…

    • Checking out this page and getting mad about people Price-Match with JB-Hifi
    • Called Harvey Norman to Price-Match and ACCEPTED for pickup instore
    • Check my Credit Card and they charged me $296 normal price

      Mate, credit card charge back from your bank. Unauthorized transaction

      • easternculture on 08/05/2013 - 20:05

        but he signed it , or entered his pin

        Its an authorised transaction

        Basically, the bank would email Harvey Norman and they would compare signatures to his card one.

        If he used a pin, they could pull video footage that he was the person using the card

        Its a gray area, most disputes like this are easily dealt with if you speak to the right manager

        • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2013 - 20:11

          Sorry thought it was over the phone transaction (just wrote "over the phone tranny" then realised how wrong that sounded). I ALWAYS check the amount before they charge me especially if a got a diabolical good deal like this.

        • lplau on 08/05/2013 - 20:32

          Poor guy ozbargained by the ole harvey.

          Check your receipt though, if the receipt says $84.50 but they put $296 on the card (they sometimes have to manually type the value into the EFTPOS) then you can go to your credit card company and tell them they ripped you off.

          However if the receipt says $296 and you pin/signed the transaction for $296, then……. you got pawned. Nothing you can do about that, other than go back and guilt them into giving you a refund.

        • simprosimple on 08/05/2013 - 23:53

          it's not that BAD, the worst case is I refused the item when pickup… and REFUND.

          But I wish I can still get the item with the price, as the agent approved over the phone and I mentioned all words include "Price-Match", "Dicksmith" and "$84.50"…. They should check their phone record

        • sharethelove on 09/05/2013 - 17:25

          Sorry, another question: For this D-Link DIR-865L deal, do you think DLink will reject our invoice showing $84.50 on it as it is less than $100 and they are giving $100 cashback offer?

          Thanks for the reply. I'm a bit confused here. I got an invoice in the email (the full amount). Did you get yours in the email or from the store when you do the pick-up?

          Sorry, could I please ask: For this D-Link DIR-865L deal, do you think DLink will reject our invoice showing $84.50 on it? Cos' it is less than $100 and they are giving $100 cashback offer. It makes me wonder if Dlink will rejects our claim. I was thinking about what you said in getting the original full price invoice first as just in case DLink rejects the lower price invoice.

          No way they can reject it, nothing about the purchase price in T&C. And maybe DSE is the one losing money, not the manufacturer. Anyway similar situation happened before, for instance many people got the epilator from HN. Don't worry, just be patient for 2 months time.

    Bought one at Rosebud (Vic) today at 11 am and it was still showing "In Stock" on the website. Out of stock now, so that went quick!

    Just putting it out there… I actually legitimately wanted the router (not really after the $15 profit). Anyone want to get rid of theirs cheap and make an extra little profit?

    • blahhhh10 on 08/05/2013 - 20:43

      Me also, but I'm not going to give another $100 to these guys who have listed on Ebay and Gumtree. Man. Just really pushing it, some people.

      Hi wog_ta,

      Where are you based?

      I'm in Sydney and if you're interested please PM me for further details.

      I bought one today (given it's basically free) moreso as a spare for when my router fails (versus selling it like others), but I may re-consider if someone legitimately needs one.
