Moved to Forum: Original Link. It has been confirmed by Kogan that it is a price error. See email confirmation. Some stats before this post got moved to forum:

  • +593 / -22 votes with 45 voted revoked
  • 18,199 clicks

Looks like Kogan just had another price drop on this, at this price it won't last!
Be quick guys!

Credit goes to OzBargain user: tongyun for telling us about it :)

Update: Kogan has tweeted that this was not a price error, however this has since been quickly removed and it is unknown if orders will be honoured.

      What are you complaing about? Because they have themselves covered so if they make a mistake then they are not forced to declare bankrupt and close business?

      Or because you only got a FREE $20 voucher and think you are enitiled to more..

      Seriously get off your horse. You should accept it was a mistake and be thankful for the voucher.

        Nowhere did I say that I was going to file a complaint and I am not going to file one. I took a screenshot last night and thought it may be of use to people who may want to.
        Seriously calm down.

        Seriously why you are so wind up Cardz? The info that roffey1 posted is useful for someone who are willing to make a complaint of misleading advertising instead of pricing error.

        It is indeed Kogan attempt to mislead us. Pricing error doesn't happen as often as this.
        Also, if they indeed not farming our personal detail, they should advise that they have deleted all out contact detail from their server.

        BTW, my Paypal and CC already been charged, yet the Kogan can said whatever they like and enjoy the interest gained from our money. This is why some of us want to make a complaint. If they withdraw the fund once they shipped the item, that's different story and we won't have anything to complained about.

          How do you know I am wound up??
          Must be the same way you know that this is an obvious attempt at Kogan to mislead us.

          Besides.
          1. It takes a couple of days for the money to clear. Hence they want the money to clear before they ship the product in case it does not clear.
          2. Kogan will be paying all the transaction fees hence losing money
          3. Kogan have also granted everyone a $20 voucher.. More than what your $420 is worth for a week on the short term money deposit.

          But hey dont let the facts get in the way of their obvious attempt to mislead us!!

        They're clearly abusing loopholes to do some of the following:

        1. Collect tonnes of user data, addresses and payment details.
        2. Have many users sign up.
        3. Make their site viral, the link still works now and links to a more expensive S4.
        4. They were hedging themselves against the eventuality of the iPhone 5s being a unexpected decent product.
        5. They get to hold onto our money for a short period of time, and invest it, or class it as liquid assets.

          Totally agree with Sturmeh… They are clearly abusing their rights.. Totally gained heaps!!! >:
          Can't see how they can even justify the pricing errors when their own reps tweeted otherwise! O.o (Thanks Gackt)
          My voucher states its only valid for above $50 also.. If that's the case then this will be my first and LAST time associating with Kogan!
          Don't worry I'll PM my voucher then. Must abuse our rights too right?
          Kogan has a community of haters now I assumed…

      See the ON SALE and Save between this one and above. If that price error, why it had the ON SALE? I think it just Kogan tactics to sell S4 stock before Apple announced 5S and 5C…conspiracy huh ?

    To be fair, a $20 voucher is still better than just a 'sorry we stuffed up, read our T&C, now piss off' email, like that from Amazon.

    Not really surprised at the price error. The voucher was good, I guess. I bought a $19 item with it.
    The way they're tracking, I'm kinda half expecting Kogan to now cancel all our gift card purchases under $50.
    They'll tweet about orders being all good first though.

  • Cataclysm on 11/09/2013 - 18:29

    Hi everybody,

    I've got an idea to pool our gift-vouchers so that some people can still get an Samsung S4.

    Each person sells their gift card for $15 and one person buys them. With ~30 gift-cards codes you can buy a S4.

    This makes an S4 cost about $450.

    At least this way, we make some good out of a bad situation and people who didn't want anything from Kogan can get something for their wasted time.

    Thoughts?

    • hellou on 11/09/2013 - 18:34

      you are only allowed to use one voucher per purchase.

    • MasterNoob on 11/09/2013 - 20:25

      Yes, instead you should pool over the funds and buy the new iPhone 5S.

  • rambao9 on 11/09/2013 - 18:45

    Thanks kogan, they are still losing alot of money for this $20 gift card per person.

    Buying their 32gb usb 3 flash for $9, they are very fast, bought one for 19 last time.

    For those that want a cheaper usb 2 one they have a usb key for 25, so $5

    • lala1911 on 11/09/2013 - 18:57

      I think they'd still profit off of your $9, lol.

      • rambao9 on 11/09/2013 - 19:05

        maybe lol, but their flash drives are really fast and I really regretted Not buying more than 1 after using it for bout a week. Their price slowly rose thereafter

        But now i'm getting one for $9!!

        • RocketSwitch on 11/09/2013 - 19:10

          How about the 64gb one for $29 after using coupon?

  • Crownanchor on 11/09/2013 - 18:46

    This is the second time Kogan disapoints, and ive only ordered twice on Kogan, first time was the 3G SIM which was $5 and is now useless.

  • Ronnnie on 11/09/2013 - 19:08

    Personally not mad about the pricing error, it was their slow response and flip flopping that was annoying. Now it wouldn't surprise me if they cancel those orders under $50 using the coupon code. Either way I'll never buy from them again after this piss poor performance, if some people are still willing to take a gamble with them, then Goodluck. :-)

    Here's a new catch cry I heard in one of the thread's today (credit - mattgal):

    So if you get burned/ripped off/taken for a ride, etc; you've been Kogan'd

    Examples:
    Person 1 - I'm so jealous of that deal you got on your TV the other day, that was a STEAL!
    Person 2 - Oh nah man that didn't work out, I got Kogan'd pretty bad
    Person 1 - Woah…my condolences

    or:

    Person 1 - Hey, how'd your date with that girl go the other day?
    Person 2 - Ahh man don't ask - she had my hopes up for like half a day and I really thought it'd work, she even confirmed it the next day on facebook and twitter that we're official! But then I started doubting her when she deleted her facebook status almost immediately. I don't like mixed signals so I called her and asked what was going on, she said she'd email me later and ultimately a few hours later she broke up with me via email telling me it was a mistake… Paid $430 to take her out to dinner and stuff and all I'm left with now is $20…
    Person 1 - Sorry to hear that, looks like she Kogan'd you pretty bad…

      Person 1 - Wait, she didnt give you $430 back for that dinner.

    If you didnt think $409 for an S4 was a possible price error then im suprised you managed to turn on your computer.

  • nedkelly on 12/09/2013 - 00:36

    I was a bit sad I couldn't upgrade to this phone (I'm still on a htc desire) so looked at the s3's again and saw the white i9305 for $409 (excluding delivery) so put my voucher towards that instead. Moderately happy, but not as ecstatic as the original 'deal'.

  • dri on 12/09/2013 - 01:20

    Win for me. Don't know know what possessed me to buy it. Mob mentality most definitely as I'm going to get the samsung note 3 whenever it's available. Bought a $9 32gb usb stick which hopefully gets honored but I doubt it.
