You might be able to use the checkout system to find stock in a store closer to you also to save postage

I already bought one and can confirm it's the brown 2012 model, not the 2013 white model as in video. Besides colour I can't see any difference.

    Pickup is available, only the Camperdown store has stock. Shipping is $40. Forty Dollars!

      The Balcatta, Joondalup and Midland stores all have stock in WA.

    • SydBargainer on 19/07/2013 - 13:13

      Ordered last night for pick up at Camperdown store. I rock up to store this morning. Bloke says we only had two and they're both gone. He says they received over 200 orders even though there's only 46 in AUSTRALIA!!

      Looks like Ray's haven't learnt from the time they were Ozbargained. http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/109175?page=1

    How does this compare to others on ebay???
    Any reviews?

    • brett-au on 18/07/2013 - 23:59

      According to amazon its getting good reviews, but judging by the age of the reviews and the odds of them redoing the leds to 2013 technology, I would say you could get better, cheaper now.

      • sirs2k on 19/07/2013 - 00:08

        Thanks bud,
        Any suggestions?

  • [Deactivated] on 19/07/2013 - 00:07

    Thanks OP - cute looking Lantern.

    Delivery seems to be $5.49 for Sydney (Fastaway couriers) & $40 for Melbourne ('standard' delivery).

    I assume these things will take 4x 1.2V Eneloops.

  • eddomak on 19/07/2013 - 00:36

    Thanks OP - I just ordered one with delivery to Sydney Metro for $5.49. Unfortunately as soon as I tried to increase the quantity to 2 it reverted to the $40 delivery fee. Can't be bothered ordering 2. I can vouch that the little brother of this lantern the Orbit is awesome - been using it almost many nights a week for 4 years to check on the kids in the middle of the night, as well as on camping trips etc.

  • Billygoat on 19/07/2013 - 01:09

    Ordered one for pickup.
    Cheers.

  • CI on 19/07/2013 - 02:10

    Available to pick up at Rays Marion and Rays Enfield in Adelaide

  • gimme on 19/07/2013 - 05:27

    Good one! Picking up from Camberdown.

  • frbargain on 19/07/2013 - 05:40

    This looks great. I like the adjustable brightness as my current lantern on dim mode is still way too bright inside a tent.

    If you mess around with the quantity (ie add one, minus one, etc) the shipping quote changes.

    My shipping quote to Melbourne went from $5.49 for 1
    (+) to $12.49 for 2
    (-) to $40 for 1 (wtf)
    (+) to $8.47 for 2 (winner!!!)

  • [Deactivated] on 19/07/2013 - 05:59

    Careful. They might not honor this deal.

  • d1matt on 19/07/2013 - 06:44

    Ordered and arranged pick up from Taylor's Lakes (VIC).

  • EightImmortals on 19/07/2013 - 06:47

    $40 shipping to QLD is a dealbreaker.

    • belongsinforums on 19/07/2013 - 07:06

      Add one more, then take it away. Magic!

      • EightImmortals on 19/07/2013 - 07:53

        Nope, didn't work. :)

        (Turns out we have a Rays store up here…but no stock so it wont let me order.)

        Fail.

        • emeraldone on 19/07/2013 - 08:25

          Worked for me, freight went from $40 for 1 to $40 for 2, down to $7.73 for 1 :) Using chrome.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/07/2013 - 12:40

  • cozmo on 19/07/2013 - 08:05

    Well after waiting 8 days to be told that I was not getting the jackets I ordered from them and now being a week since then and i still have not got my refund.. im not in any hurry to deal with Rays.

  • Wolfy on 19/07/2013 - 08:49

    Thanks OP.
    Looks like it could be useful, showing as in stock at one of the local shops so saved the postage (as long as they actually have it in stock).

  • MementoMori on 19/07/2013 - 08:51

    I don't get it. It's just a lantern? Is it that special?

    Have ordered.

    • laser on 19/07/2013 - 09:03

      Its a magic lantern.

      • MementoMori on 19/07/2013 - 11:20
        +1

        Yes but is the lantern cursed?

        I think it is because I walked into a store at 9am only to be told they just sold the only one they had to an online order. Decided to go in after ordering my jacket online only to go into store and find that they didn't have any…

  • tonester on 19/07/2013 - 09:08

    being 80 lumen, would the Apollo be brighter than my Super Bright 20 LED Power Lantern?

  • bargain_finder on 19/07/2013 - 09:11

    Out of stock.. online

    I may try instore…

    damn i bet this is an error :(

  • gummibear on 19/07/2013 - 09:57

    I think I will mark this as expired.
    The smaller orbits are still available though.
    http://www.raysoutdoors.com.au/online-store/products/Black-D…

    The orbit doesn't have the stands like the Apollo and uses AAA if I remember right.

    • eddomak on 19/07/2013 - 13:14

      I called this morning to follow up my order made last night. The operator said I was the 3rd person in a row to ask about these, and they were generally out of stock and had removed the item from the website. She then checked with each of the stores about availability and although mine was originally going to be fulfilled from Campbelltown which was then out of stock, she has had mine fulfilled from Albury. I have received the email telling me it has been packed. :) Poor website response times/calculations/inventory control, but good service on the phone.

  • black-magpie on 19/07/2013 - 10:39

    It was me.
    I just got it both.

    I have places an order at 6: am this morning.
    Paid by credit card and order confirmation received.
    Just called Ray to confirm pick up in store.
    They said they have problem with their stock count, though they accept the payment, they can't honour the deal. They will arrange refund. Not happy !!!!
    This is not the first time they messed up.

  • John Dough on 19/07/2013 - 13:47

    I say BAN Rays Outdoor until they get their shit together!! What a waste of time.
    I am still going to go in store and make a fuss regardless.

  • surfbum1 on 19/07/2013 - 15:58

    No problems picking up from Burleigh.
    Very handy little light and a bargain at $15
    Even came with batteries!

    • kelion on 19/07/2013 - 18:18

      I picked up mine from Burleigh too. No battery was included. Your lucky day or possibly ex-display stock?

  • timetoquit on 19/07/2013 - 16:38

    Sad :( ordered last night only to be told today they have no more stock.

    Really wanted one for camping!!

    I picked up the last 4 in Midland WA. The manager said they had 42 for sale in Australia, but received 240+ orders last night.

    • Billygoat on 19/07/2013 - 18:38
      +2

      What also shits me is you order one for pick up as its in stock at the time and some prick walks in and grabs the lot of the shelf.
      Then the staff look at they're online orders to pick and put aside and find out there's none left.
      As some greedy sob cleaned up.

      Neg away.

        I missed out too….

        Bt my position is….if its there for you, its YOURS.

        You don't owe anyone any debt to keep one for them.

        There is NO Morality in Ozbargain.

      • xuqi on 19/07/2013 - 19:21

        I ordered and paid for 4 last night. 2 for myself, two for co-workers. I don't see anything wrong with that. Apparently they had 8 left this morning, 2 others had picked up their orders.

        • easternculture on 19/07/2013 - 19:24

          I picked up the last 4 in Midland WA

          Are you switching from electricity to Eneloop-Lantern Energy

          Im guessing you also bought 10 packs of the $11 eneloops @ Dick Smith from the last deal too

        • [Deactivated] on 19/07/2013 - 21:49

          Im guessing you also bought 10 packs of the $11 eneloops…

          I ran out of money after the cool Gymheadz Hoody deal.

    • [Deactivated] on 19/07/2013 - 19:08

      Interesting comment by xuqi. Why for the life of me anyone would see fit to neg it is beyond me.

    • SydBargainer on 19/07/2013 - 20:06

      240 + orders with just under 50 in the country is exactly what I was told.

  • John Dough on 19/07/2013 - 18:39

    Well they took my cash through paypal now, so they have better bloody reserved me one of these!

  • micsav99 on 19/07/2013 - 21:11

    Got one. Pick up from Marion. Purchased very early this morning. Lady said they sold a lot of them today.

  • frbargain on 22/07/2013 - 15:45

    Just had my online order cancelled.

  • d1matt on 22/07/2013 - 15:49

    I received a refund through PayPal but no email from Rays Outdoors notifying me that my order had been cancelled.

  • John Dough on 22/07/2013 - 16:47

    Yep just got notified now also - no email or follow up, that is just plain rude. I am calling them and giving them some 'feedback'

    • frbargain on 22/07/2013 - 22:48

      What they say? My order is still processing according to website. What are the chances I get the lanterns for free?

      • John Dough on 24/07/2013 - 12:16

        Didn't get around to calling them yet, but I note an email today from them being very apologetic with a $20 voucher and free shipping coupon.
        I guess I can't be all that mad with a resolution like that, but I still think they need to get their act together with online ordering and stock levels, its just not acceptable to offer a service that they can't deliver. If they can't hold stock or monitor stock levels - then DON'T OFFER THE SERVICE ;)

  • baycie on 23/07/2013 - 11:04

    Just received a refund from PayPal email also, no explanation from Ray's, won't be ordering from them again.

  • QuiOui on 23/07/2013 - 12:36

    I also received a Refund from RAY'S OUTDOORS PTY LTD email from PayPal and no email from Rays Outdoors regarding the matter.

  • Billygoat on 23/07/2013 - 15:06

    Had my Paypal refunded and received a email from rays.

  • Wolfy on 23/07/2013 - 20:34

    Is Ray's becoming the new Dick Smith?
    Discounted sales but no stock even when you select in-store pickup?

    Had to call the shop on Friday to confirm they did/did not have stock, then on Monday got an email from PayPal to say account was refunded, and then today an email from Ray's with (another) $20 + free postage voucher.

    The daypack I ordered with the last 'sorry' voucher arrived today:
    http://www.raysoutdoors.com.au/online-store/products/Escape-…
    I thought $9.95 delivered was good price, still has the $60 price tag on it too.

    • [Deactivated] on 23/07/2013 - 22:56

      You mean you got something for nothing? If so i'd be happy.

      Let's face it, Rays probably didn't anticipate a stampede & their online presence may still be evolving. If they gave a freebie in apology i think that's the best anyone can do in the circumstances.

  • d1matt on 25/07/2013 - 10:44

    I have received a $20 coupon with free freight on two separate occasions from online orders that couldn't be filled.

    • [Deactivated] on 25/07/2013 - 16:56

      Right, next time they have a deal, i'm going to game them.
