Update: itglobalsale.com.au price is now $759.

This deal now also expired:
$739 AU stock delivered at Mobileciti as per:
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/106557

= $702.05 Lowest Price Guarantee at Officeworks

.
.
.
.
Below is the old expired info:

IT Global Sale's website is showing genuine AU stock for $719 delivered.
Have been looking at this for a while but not sure about them. Have been waiting for Officeworks to get it so they could do their 5% "Lowest Price Guarantee" price beat. Officeworks have stock today!! Just picked one up for $683.05 from my local store (in Brisbane). Thanks goes to my brother for spotting it at Officeworks.

I was able to show the guy in Officeworks that there were two listings on itglobalsale.com.au, a grey and a genuine Australian stock one so they could see that they were matching AU stock from an Australian website. Also, once you add it to cart, you can then show Officeworks that the shipping is $0.

From Officeworks website: "Identical products are price-matched against online stores but as with any other kind of store, the item must be currently in stock. When price-matching online stores we also take into account the added cost of delivery. If the identical product can be purchased and delivered via an online store for a total price lower than the one we are offering, we will beat that total price by 5%."

    You should ING pay wave to get $648.8975
    and then if your traveling within the next month or two overseas

    another 10% off the original. 10% GST $68.305

    equal 580.59$

    beats kogan grey import if you are travelling ~

    please post reciept

      Have now uploaded a copy of my receipt.

    • Harold Halfprice on 15/06/2013 - 00:29

      Oooh! I just remembered im travelling in a month, and you just reminded me! Thank you, lol!

      P.S slight miscalculation though, at $648.8975 the gst paid isn't 10%/$68.305 it's equal to 9%/$58.99. So the total will come to $589.90. I'm not with ING though, so no 5% off for me :(

    • ronnknee on 16/06/2013 - 13:26

      Let me clarify for the OP while correcting him.

      You purchase 7 x $100 gift cards from Officeworks using ING paywave on separate transactions and then you get $35 back. Use them to buy the S4 at Officeworks for $683.05 (price matched) which brings the cost down to $648.90. If you're travelling overseas this coming holidays, then you can claim the GST back (1/11th of the price) further bringing the cost down to $589.91.

      Having said all that, if you're going to do multiple transactions at Officeworks, please be considerate and let the checkout person know you're going to take a while so that they can call for assistance. This way, a massive queue doesn't form behind you.

  • PissLUR on 14/06/2013 - 15:38

    No white @ officeworks.

  • kevdragster on 14/06/2013 - 16:06

    how does the ING pay wave work , to get the rebate and s4 for $648.8975

    • narbe on 14/06/2013 - 16:34

      you wave 99.99$ at a time

      • lplau on 14/06/2013 - 16:38

        I hate to be the people in the queue behind you, lol.
        Imagine a long queue, and you ask them to put the transactions through at 99.99 each hahaha

  • ironworthy on 14/06/2013 - 16:21

    will try this out, cheers

  • greenie4242 on 14/06/2013 - 16:39

    What's the difference between the $689 and the $719 model? Is one an Australian warranty through IT Global Sales, and the other a warranty through Samsung?

    http://www.itglobalsale.com.au/handsets/samsung-handsets/sam…

    http://www.itglobalsale.com.au/handsets/samsung-handsets/sam…

    • o z bargain on 14/06/2013 - 17:07
      +1

      The $689 one is a grey import. $719 is Australian stock with Samsung Australia warranty. It helped that I was able to show the guy in Officeworks that there were two listings, a grey and a genuine Australian stock one. Also once you add it to cart you can then show Officeworks that the shipping is $0. Very happy that I was able to get it from Officeworks, would much rather deal with them for a warranty than some unknown website seller any day.

    Why 'http://www.kogan.com/au' is not the best deal? $658.00(Delivered)!

    • kwchaz on 14/06/2013 - 17:13

      Grey import. This is Aussie stock.

  • Chopel on 14/06/2013 - 16:53

    Why is only 2+? is this not a good deal for $683?
    I'm thinking to get one.

    • c4leong on 14/06/2013 - 16:56

      If you use Kogan deal and beat 5% from OW, will it be better?

      • greenie4242 on 14/06/2013 - 17:05

        I don't think OfficeWorks would beat the Kogan price because it's not Aussie stock.

        IT Global Sales just says '2 Years Australian Warranty' for the $689 model but says 'Australia Stock 2 Years Samsung Australian Warranty' for the $719 model.

        I think the $689 is a grey import, but the $719 is Aussie sourced from Samsung.

        • Sammyboy on 14/06/2013 - 17:08

          They wont match kogan as its import, and will only match the Aust stock on itglobal

      • tio on 14/06/2013 - 17:08

        OW won't match Kogan since Kogan stock is grey import and it won't have Samsung Australia Warranty. The one the OP linked to is AU stock with AU warranty.

    • ironworthy on 14/06/2013 - 17:18
      +1

      reason why there arent many upvotes is partially because its a pricematch deal, which is not a guarantee. but $719 for local stock is still a good price

  • mad dog on 14/06/2013 - 18:37

    Thanks for the post. Just pricematched one at Officeworks Campbelltown.
    Paid $683.05.

  • scradley on 14/06/2013 - 19:28

    I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more votes. Pretty sure this is the best price I've seen. And only $30 more than Kogan for Australian warranty and a reputable dealer.

  • iFetch on 14/06/2013 - 19:32

    Thanks much OP (and your brother, and OzBargain)! Had to give this a try so I went to Officeworks. Paid $683.05 but used PayWave to buy some $99 gift cards first, so I think the final amount will be $648.90.

    The phone stays in the box till Monday though. I have too many things planned this weekend and I don't want to get distracted.

    I can confirm that OfficeWorks won't price-match non AU stock because of the 1 year return to base warranty. As long as the product is identical, price includes delivery, and warranty is the same… they SHOULD BE able to price-match.

    • scradley on 14/06/2013 - 20:15

      Using PayWave to buy gift cards then buying the phone with gift cards is very clever.

      I desperately wish I had PayWave.

  • seijai on 14/06/2013 - 21:34

    This is a price matching deal

    If you are using 28 degrees mastercard, better off buying from itglobalsales

    In 6 months, the price drop will be big and you can claim the difference, but at officeworks it will be the same price.

    • unity1 on 14/06/2013 - 21:49

      Is it valid for online purchases? I know the price protection policy on my CBA card excludes online purchases.

    • kevdragster on 14/06/2013 - 22:56

      can anyone confirm whether the 28 degrees MasterCard will cover online purchase for price drop to be claimed through itglobalsales

      • seijai on 14/06/2013 - 23:17

        Yeh, many have claimed from Kogan purchases

        Also, itglobal has a physical shop in Castle Hill

  • [Deactivated] on 14/06/2013 - 23:06

    Odd, someone posted this today already and it was removed because price match (the main intention of the post and of this one) is not a bargain. Hmm.

  • iFetch on 14/06/2013 - 23:48

    Is it me or is the same phone available on the same website for $30 less?
    http://www.itglobalsale.com.au/handsets/samsung-handsets/sam…

    • Helios on 14/06/2013 - 23:59

      I believe that isn't Australian Stock (A-tick), it is most likely grey import stock. I would imagine the 2 year Aus warranty they state is store warranty not manufacturer warranty.

  • GerrardLFC on 15/06/2013 - 01:23

    The phones you got from Officeworks do they have any branding on them from any Telcos or just unbranded?

    • o z bargain on 15/06/2013 - 10:28

      Haven't had a play with it yet but the guy at Officeworks said that it was unbranded.

  • soupiejr on 15/06/2013 - 11:19

    Anyone getting refusals from officeworks to pricematch?

    • unity1 on 15/06/2013 - 11:42

      I was refused the S3 4G because of the different colour, but they were happy to do the deal with the G4 but I didn't want to spend an extra $200. Now waiting for mobileciti to come up with a good deal on the G3 4G

    • o z bargain on 15/06/2013 - 11:48

      I don't think their "Lowest Price Guarantee" makes provision for refusals as long as the conditions are met. However, it does say: "Officeworks reserves the right to limit the quantity of products available for price-matching at its discretion." I suppose that means they could limit it to 1 per person?

      http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/content/Lowest-Price-Gu…

      • soupiejr on 15/06/2013 - 13:57

        I've had this deal been refused as "We don't pricematch interstate store (which is ridiculous)" and "It has a different type of warranty.", It's frustrating, dealing with scared managers.

        • unity1 on 15/06/2013 - 14:07

          Which store refused you?

        • o z bargain on 15/06/2013 - 14:17

          Yeah, that is ridiculous. Doesn't agree with their Lowest Price Guarantee terms on their website.

          Did you show them the itglobalsale.com.au website which shows they stock the grey import with different warranty for $689 (which OW are not obliged to price beat) and that they also have the Australian stock with the same Samsung Australia warranty as OW for $719?

          OW terms for their guarantee says: "What about online stores? Identical products are price-matched against online stores but as with any other kind of store, the item must be currently in stock. When price-matching online stores we also take into account the added cost of delivery. If the identical product can be purchased and delivered via an online store for a total price lower than the one we are offering, we will beat that total price by 5%."

          It doesn't say that the online store has to be in the same state just that delivery has to be factored in (in this case $0)

        • soupiejr on 15/06/2013 - 14:37

          I'll try another store. We'll see.

        • soupiejr on 15/06/2013 - 18:23

          Why would they price match an store if its not close enough to them? Thats the standard policy for stores down here. Warrawong used to deny shellharbour price matches even if they had stock because it was 10km.

          Thats not an original rule, its pretty standard for us.

        • camMMM on 16/06/2013 - 10:36

    @ GerrardLFC can you supply the reciept?

  • jasona on 16/06/2013 - 00:38

    Tried price matching at 2 different OW stores in Sydney but managers of both stores would not approve it…1 said deal had to be checked out and approved by head office! Other said availability of stock at itglobalsales could not be confirmed…they made it very difficult, so couldn't be bothered arguing anymore.

    • unity1 on 16/06/2013 - 01:30

      Did you show them a copy of OP's receipt?

      • Chopel on 16/06/2013 - 10:57

      • ronnknee on 16/06/2013 - 13:30

        Again, having a receipt does not guarantee you a price match.

        Which stores did you try?

        • unity1 on 16/06/2013 - 14:23

          Well they are a national chain operating under the same framework. Either all stores pricematch or none do. There is something wrong with the OW hierarchy if not everyone comes to the same consensus.

        • jasona on 16/06/2013 - 16:50

          I didn't show copy of OPs receipt…attempt was made at blacktown and wentwoethville OW stores

        • ronnknee on 16/06/2013 - 18:03

          That argument is flawed. If one team member incorrectly does a price match, does that mean every single team member in every store has to follow?

          Now, I am not talking about this deal as it is legitimate and I am surprised that jasona had failed at the stores he tried. A good example would be the initial release of Nexus 7. People from Ozbargain were trying to price match with Kogan and some did successfully. Whoever allowed it, were not supposed to since it is grey import and the warranty is not identical.

          As far as I know, the team members are trained to look out for these things. Unfortunately there are a portion of casuals who do not work frequently and therefore may overlook these things and make mistakes. Just because one transaction goes through incorrectly, does not mean all future transactions must conform.

          Most people on Ozbargain would think that if someone got an incorrect price match successfully and they failed then they are at a loss. In reality that incorrect price match is just a bonus.

        • unity1 on 16/06/2013 - 22:15

          I was referring to this case specifically. That's what they have a head office for. If in doubt they should be able to call someone higher in the chain to get clarification. It looks sloppy on their behalf and totally unprofessional. It's not a hard thing to do to read a few lines on a website and make a simple comparison.

  • spoonmugen on 16/06/2013 - 12:04

    couldnt get my local OW to price match / even showing them the OP's scanned receipt…
    oh well was gonna bite - but now will just sit and wait for S4 below $600…

    • ironworthy on 16/06/2013 - 12:08

      what was their reason?

    • ronnknee on 16/06/2013 - 13:29

      For future reference, having a receipt does not guarantee you a price match.

      However, I don't see why they won't do the price match for this deal as it is legitimate. Which store are shopping with?

      • spoonmugen on 16/06/2013 - 13:39

        clayton…

        reason was below their cost / i saw it was another officeworks store - and they said store manager beat 5% at own discretion…

The staff was nice enought, to still use the print out, although when we went to the website, the price has gone up. They almost match it using the grey import price, but realized it at the last minute. damn so close…

        I spoke to Officeworks Liverpool on the phone and directed them to the site. They said they were willing to price match the listing posted by the OP not the one above by ranz. They were aware of the product being overseas stock with a local 2 year warranty being offered by a third party (ie not Samsung). They would only price match the one with a local Samsung warranty.

        • KOBH on 18/06/2013 - 19:58
