    Tried to match price at another retail store, was told DSE was illegal to advertise when only small amount items in stock. Is it true?

    • muncan on 06/06/2013 - 21:56

      Not illegal to advertise one car for sale.

      • illumination on 06/06/2013 - 23:45

        Apple and oranges.

        or..
        Apple and cars.

        Either way. Unfair comparison.

  • webtherapist on 06/06/2013 - 15:35

    They are time wasters,came in store at Robina QLD and was told someone bought it (last item sold and reserved in store which told by staff), they obviuosly doing dirty trick,just lodged a complaint to their headquarter and soon Fair Trade Dept. Never come back with DS

    • JordanM on 06/06/2013 - 15:40

      Before you complain to fair trading be advised I am on my way to Robina to pick up that iPad on hold for me… And before you ask I do not work at any DSE ;)

      • arend on 06/06/2013 - 15:58

        That's lucky since I was told they can't hold clearance items like this!

  • webtherapist on 06/06/2013 - 15:37

    Also, they couldn't prove that the transaction happened as they couldn't prove it, plus if someone bought by coming in,no way they would leave the item in store

    I was at the Mt Gravatt store (missed out) but it was clear the staff were getting annoyed with people calling up and asking if there were any. Their own fault for not updating the stock level on the website. I see it still says they have low stock.

    Highpoint has changed their phones message 'we are out of iPads!'

  • ironworthy on 06/06/2013 - 15:51

    their phone lines would be hammered, thats why its just easier to say 'no stock', they don't care, it'll sell anyway

  • [Deactivated] on 06/06/2013 - 15:54

    Website says canberra centre has stock. Just went there and the guy said all 3 have been put on hold for people. I told him if they dont come, give me a call and i will pay by credit card over the phone. He said he cannot hold them for me and i will have to check the store tomorrow. Sounds very dodgey!

    • CCDee on 06/06/2013 - 17:22

    the stores still listing low stock levels are preobably the ones where the staff have put them asaide for themselves and have not put them through the system because they are too busy telling everyone else they are out of stock.

        not when i was told i bought the last one, and whilst paying for it one attendant was turning away customers the other one was still handing them out.

        they both exchanged eye contact as if the guy just gave away the items he set aside for himeself but wasnt quick enough to tell the guy that just started his shift. should have seen the look in his eyes it was like someone just run away with his lunch money ….

    The usual OzBargain community, no one's really thankful for getting one. Just the ones that complain. An if the ones that did get one ended up not getting one, it'll be another complaining comment. 3400 clicks, 120 comments. About 6 of those are actually saying thank you.

        I had one on hold and when my dad went to collect it had a refurb stixer on it. The sales guy said all their stock were refurbs. It looked like Apple had replaced it as it looked brand spankers though.

        All were sold this arvo.

          Was returned as having no sim tray. It's then sent to Dick Smith's main warehouse for processing and then shipped back out to store. All accessories still with plastic on them and sealed. The unit looks brand new to me, not a mark or print on it.

    I don't get the hate for DSE. They have great prices when clearing items, so it should not be surprising that there is limited stock availability.

    In the past I've missed out on items posted from DSE which is ok, I do not expect them to have plentiful stock on clearance.

    40 mins later I was in the store and paid for it :)
    Last one at the store though.. So no more available at Penrith sorry.

    But definitely pays to call and dbl check even if the website says they are out of stock.

    My advice is to boycott Dick Smith Stores until they start practising ethical advertising and prevent staff taken the special deals.!!!!

    • nafe on 06/06/2013 - 22:08

      Yeah, I will boycott them because I picked up a half priced Ipad…….. LOL

    • theguyrules on 06/06/2013 - 22:58
      +7

      Look, these aren't 'special deals', they are un-advertised clearance items that may have 1-2 per store, if any. I haven't even heard of anyone saying that the staff has taken any of these, but even if they did, so what? These aren't even advertised. They work there so they happened to hear about the deal and need an iPad. So they buy it. Honestly, if you worked somewhere and an item went on clearance that you wanted then you'd grab one.

      The only time I'd see it as an issue is if a staff member is Brodening them, but so far we've only heard of us Ozbargainers doing that, not staff members.

      • unity1 on 06/06/2013 - 23:06
        +4

        Agreed. If you work for an organisation you deserve some perks. Many people seemed to pick up an ipad or two, so it's obvious staff did not consume all the stock.

  • unity1 on 06/06/2013 - 22:42

    Quite a few have popped up on eBay and this one was for sure purchased today http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-APPLE-iPad-3rd-Gen-64gb-Wi-Fi…

    I really don't understand why Dick Smith don't utilise eBay for items like these. Firstly, they would get more money and secondly it wouldn't cause all this commotion. I believe with eBay filters you can also stop Brodening buy limiting 1 sale per account. The Good Guys have most of their items listed on eBay. I think this would be a much smarter and much fairer approach to deal with clearance stock.

    • annoynimous on 06/06/2013 - 22:46

      i think a limit of 1 per person, no reservation walk in only would have been a fair activity for everyone

      some guy prepaid for 9? now I know his ebay account…

      • unity1 on 06/06/2013 - 22:55
        +2

        I actually felt sorry for the staff. I was in the store for around 5-7 minutes. There would have been around 20 or more phone calls during that time enquiring about ipads. There we other customers in the store waiting to be served and the phone just kept ringing and ringing.

    • ironworthy on 06/06/2013 - 22:48

      It's just not worthwhile to hire someone just for this sort of thing. The items are not centrally located, which makes it difficult to distribute especially since some stores have none. It's not really about fair, it's not easy for them to do a system wide policy change due to ozbargain. If it's a real issue for them, they can always request DSE deals not be posted.

      • wtfnodeal on 06/06/2013 - 23:23
        +3

        Not posting here? That would defeat the purpose of clearing the old stocks. They honestly don't care who gets them, how many and who misses them, cash up is the only thing they care. One smart rep commented here all sold out in xxx store is to tell us not to call its store and ask anymore.
        But OP is the hero of ozbargain of the day.

        had label on it saying returned by customer as had problems charging but tried it and no probs but still get warranty so any issues they said I can bring it back. For $30 why not!

    I talked to the Manager at ~ 2pm and he agreed to keep it for me. I then asked the Misses to pick it up on her way home so she got their at 5pm. The staff denied that their was one on hold even though she told them that it was reserved in her name.

    She called me and i had a talk to the salesperson which i eventually got him to call the Manager who already finished and left home.

    After 10 min, an iPad 64Gb appeared from nowhere.

      sorry cant feel sorry for someone who reserved stock to keep it from other bargainers who legitimately went into the store to pay for it then and there. it costs a significant amount to travel to the store and leave empty handed.
      a low act.
      but if you cant beat em join em.
      so i will reserve stock at multiple stores now, all hail the new code of the 'bargainers.

  • tonester on 07/06/2013 - 02:08

    besides doncaster, northland, nunawading, where else is receiving more stock?
