Somebody please post if they have managed to get one.
And also show Pics or it didn't happen! :P
Spoon pic?
I did manage to grab one. Phew~~That was tough!
Paid by Paypal. Paypal said success! Waiting on Acer's receipt (got Paypal's). Just got it!
Gift for my son."Your order has been received
Thank you for your purchase!"Well, it is $124.5 + $15 shipping = $139.5
waited for mins for the page to respond, but got it. :)Yeah, give me 5!
Don't forget the $29 cash back.
It did happen. Kept refreshing when they put up the message about their servers being overloaded.
Was lucky to get to the page like a split second after they put the message down to restore the page.
I had problems with accessing the page even 20 minutes before the sale, and this time it was for the first time I have seen the page :-)
Still haven't received any e-mail, but I got a confirmation from Paypal…
who got the tablet anyone??!
Checking out but failed to load
come on… added to cart… "one step checkout" still loading
checking out…….
Thanks OP score 1 at last!!!
when I did get on at 12:15 it didn't have a buy option.
still checking out……
Proceed to checkout button clicked
you need to add it to your wishlist if you get a partial load
Added one to cart, stuck at "proceed to checkout"
I would suggest Acer to offer a pre-registration and make a random draw to pick up the lucky person, rather forcing me to keep clicking "Refresh". ;(
just click place order now … and still waiting …..
Reviewing order..Place order now clicked.
got 1
one step checkout!! damm tooo slow
ok that's it i'm giving up, got to work
Yeah nice try - not falling for that one!
ok not really lol
Please wait, processing your order..
Muhahaha, just gone one!
WOW I got one.. happy camper!!
Never refresh.. let it timeout (& then retry) or if your lucky.. it will connect!!
Scored one finally
It's in the cart.. =.="
Its 12 now in SA, I didn't even think about its probably eastern time, so I'd be around 30 mins late but its not loading anyway.
Totally legit DoS :D
entered my credit card details in onestepcheckout then submit……. page cannot be displayed….WTF! Did it take it?!?!… take it you biatch!
2 minutes later….Tried again… now…Please wait, processing your order… common baby.
another 2 minutes later…..Your order has been received…Thank you for your purchase!… Woohoo scored!
We didn't need to know 5 minutes of your life story. "I got one" would have been sufficient.
I take it you didn't get one ;)
I got one.
Glad to see some did get one of these. I got absolutely no joy from the site from about 11.50 onwards
I have been trying since 11 59 AM till now and no luck. The website is not opening. Please update, if anyone is lucky to go ahead…
Got one in the cart! Still the website is failing. Hit them up on twitter @AcerANZ
Yep - got one. Just kept hit refresh and eventually got to the cart and "One Step Checkout". Have the Paypal receipt. $15 shipping or can collect at one of the Acer locations.
Better to use paypal to checkout at least it off loads the acer website a bit
Got one. :)
Gone!…
Finally scored one ! Thanks OP for posting the deal.
Bah, load of crap Acer. Been constantly refreshing on 3 different browsers since 11:45. Managed to see the product page once but got no further. Poor effort.
Maybe try from just one and help reduce the load on their already overloaded servers?
managed to get one few mins ago, thanks
Think I scored one… :) I managed to pay via paypal at least.
Still stuck after clicking on Proceed to Checkout, Should I refresh and re-click or just wait?
wait until it stops loading then refresh…thats what i did
i just waited, good luck
Will do.
Thanks for the advice.
fingers crossed
Its been 30min and I'm still waiting..
Eventually just gave up.
I loaded another window, the tablet was still in cart, and when I clicked proceed to checkout around 12:50.. it says its sold out!
It's odd how it is still in my cart.
yes i just got one!
just got one too! thanks :)
Currently our server has very high load please try again shortly.
Again!?!Got one! Selected pickup option to save $15 shipping fee.
Yeah! got one as well :) Thanks OzBargain.
After fighting hard with the server, Finally got one successfully for $139.50 including shipping, Thanks OZBargain & Acer..
looks like a lot of people got one. hopefully they didn't over sell and cancel our orders.
hey guys keep trying…i can get another one if i wanted to, the page is loading fine for me…
one step checkout didnt load, waited > 10, 15 mins..
refreshed, item still in cart.. used paypal this time, and got finalised payment
back to acer confirmation screen, order has been received, woohoo thanks OP !
Just got 3 for family members SWEET!!!!…Thanx OB
Are you brogen in disguise?
Finally scored one surprisingly, how do I revoke my neg?
click on 'votes' up the top and revoke from there….
Brilliant thanks. Will hold off voting up though until the order comes through. Have a feeling orders might be cancelled but prepared to be pleasantly surprised.
Will hold off voting
You've already voted and revoked……. you don't get another go
Perseverance paid off!!! order confirmed!! Thanks heaps OP. Been waiting for a decent tablet for cheap for a while now.
My company's internet is not good enough to grab a bargain…..
I'm considering switching company….
Got one !
@ 12:45
yeh, office inner-net couldnt connect… had to do it via phone (telstra LTE)
Out of stock - all over
The Site comes back now and it now says, "This product is currently out of stock."
OUT OF STOCK!!!!!!!!!
Yay! I got 2!
i cannot get into it and all gone after one hour clicking … but congratulate to those who can squeeze into it and get one
stuck at 'one step checkout' screen…have pressed 'place order now'…but nothing is happening…give up?
how did those that got one managed to get as far as buying it? after frustratingly, clicking onto this page for the last hour, didn't even managed to add the item to my cart…
i managed to add to my cart even when the page didnt load properly. it was just all text and no images. i waited for it to stop loading before hitting the refresh button
Managed to get one got the email so hope it is coming - final web page is still loading after 13 mins.
Got one :D
oh man crashed on check out.
Been trying to get on the site since before the sale started. Finally managed to get on a couple of minutes ago and they're all sold out.
Not particularly pleased.
1hr 15mins wasted on ACER :(
Their Website says:
This offer is sold out. Register for future VIP offersI am curious to know if anyone got it. The website was down well before 12.00 pm.
Edit: Read the comments above saying few got one.
It got easier after around 12:30. Loaded the product page and I was at check out around 12:45. Did take a long time though.
out of stock
I think I got one. Every single step in this buying process was a super slow.
I think the 29 dollars cash back apply to this deal as well..so basically less than 100
140 - 29 = $110 can't complain for 8 inch brand tablet
Bit of a farce if you ask me. By the time I could actually get the page to load, it was already sold out. Oh well, these things only get cheaper and cheaper, so no big loss :)
Just curious, did anyone here manage to get one? ie received an email confirmation of their order etc?
Yes. Got the confirmation email from Paypal pretty much straight after the transaction at 12:25pm and the one from Acer at 1:14pm stating 3-5 days shipping.
Bit of a farce if you ask me.
Just out of interest….. why did you feel the need to neg the post?
because he/she didnt get it.
I assumed that…. but thought I'd check
It's not that I didn't get it. As I said, tablets are getting cheaper every day so I wasn't really fussed that I didn't buy one.
The negative vote was more directed towards the Acer Store and the fact that I and many others couldn't even access the page at all, and therefore didn't get a chance to access the deal.
The price was definitely good (especially when considering the cashback), but from my point of view, if you can't even get to the webpage to make a purchase, then it's not really a deal, is it?
but from my point of view, if you can't even get to the webpage, then where's the deal?
Clearly many people did though…. or was the neg based on your own personal circumstances?
I'm just wondering if the neg was as a warning…. ie Acer is a scam company
or just as a 'punishment' neg?I often wonder why people neg expired deals, and what their neg is trying to tell the community?
Today is a 'wondering' day….. :-)
It means that the 50 current stock is still intact! =)
