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.

    • CrocDundee on 10/09/2013 - 19:41

      I received an email confirming everything (Including price of $409 + delivery) as soon I purchased one. However, it was an hour ago when I bought mine 'before the rush'.

    I still have not received any confirmation from Kogan.

      damn Facebook crap.

    • hellou on 10/09/2013 - 19:38

      got the invoice, if this is what you are talking about.

    • ssjmark on 10/09/2013 - 19:49

      I got a PayPal confo email and a kogan order confirmation email.

      Fingers crossed so hard!

  • ibargainhunt on 10/09/2013 - 19:35

    Come to think about it, it might be real since it's expected that the iphone 5C is going to be announced tomorrow morning.

    Therefore, kogan expecting that people might buy the 5C which is apparently cheap ($400-500), so they have to get rid of s4 stock since it'll never sell at $600+.

    • superforever on 10/09/2013 - 19:38

      I don't think 5C can compare with S4.

      • ibargainhunt on 10/09/2013 - 19:40

        I'm just seeing it from kogan as a business standpoint.

    Damn… I dodged the LG nexus 4..but I couldn't dodge this one…. bought 1 just then. I popped my cherry with my first Kogan purchase as well. Hope I get a happy ending.

    • Windows7forever on 11/09/2013 - 09:28

      Ruslan is gonna blow his load of S4 phones, erm I mean stock.

  • aeoz on 10/09/2013 - 19:36

    What firmware does this S4 Kogan use?

    • theguyrules on 10/09/2013 - 19:38

      Stock Touchwiz, probably 4.2.2

    Your credit card has been charged slightly less than your checkout total - This is to help verify your order.

    ARGH 28 Degrees not showing online or updated over the phone. Anyone know what I should do?

    • Tm15 on 10/09/2013 - 19:42

      i had that happen too when i tried to order something from them awhile ago, had to call 28degrees. pain in the ass

    • stig on 10/09/2013 - 19:43

      Should I buy one with another card (normal NAB transaction account through paypal) and get this one refunded when it goes through?

      Would that be as easy as it sounds…?

      Edit: NVM did it anyway :) Guessing both with be refunded in a few days.

  • tho760 on 10/09/2013 - 19:39

    Crazy deal!, was waiting to see what Apple was going to release tomorrow, if I was not happy was going to get Nexus 4. Now fingers crossed I will get S4 if it is real.

    Didn't need it but bought it. I can probably sell my S3 for slightly less, effectively free phone.

    • theguyrules on 10/09/2013 - 19:43

      Exactly my thinking. May as well upgrade while its cheap.

  • Sparky on 10/09/2013 - 19:41

    Extended warranty is $89. Is anyone paying the same? I noticed page 1 someone gotten 3 yrs for $45!

    Damm in a haste to pay i forgot to switch over to Amex in Paypal! Grrr … Cant win em all.

    • leyton01 on 10/09/2013 - 19:44

      If you wait until last page of checkout you can add "Discounted" warranty for half price - $44.50 or something

    • CrocDundee on 10/09/2013 - 19:51

      when you go through checkout it gives you a discounted warranty price to choose from - $45 for 3yrs.

    im guessing its a price error and Kogan has charged us to much and will refund us the difference

  • Snoref on 10/09/2013 - 19:49

    Got error "transaction declined refer to issuer" what does this mean?!?!

    • ssjmark on 10/09/2013 - 19:53

      Sounds like it's on your end. Check you entered the details correctly.

      Wouldn't blame you if you did, during the mad rush to try and get one. :P

    • jzdhgkd on 10/09/2013 - 19:54

      Means it's a problem on your end (funds/incorrect details entered) or the bank's end (card "issuer")

    • 2enjoy on 10/09/2013 - 19:55

      I got that too with the credit card. tried it twice with the same response. just switched to paypal..

    has S3 so will love this - not getting too excited yet - first purchase from Kogan.

    Thanks for the heads up.

  • stalker878 on 10/09/2013 - 19:51

    alternatively, kogan is expecting a price drop and pre-emptive this by selling now, shipping later..

  • bazzazz on 10/09/2013 - 19:51

    Guys , I think this is the real deal. . If you look at the White S4 i9505 is $599 with no discount of $180.. Now the black @$599 less the $180 brings the price down to $409.. .. Just my 2 cents..

    I think the bother problem maybe whether Kogan may be able to fulfill all orders ..
    Good luck

    • theguyrules on 10/09/2013 - 19:52

      Yeah, and WHEN they fulfil them.

    • umoddbro on 10/09/2013 - 19:53

      The white one is actually $170 discount… the black one is $360* discount.

    • knackers on 10/09/2013 - 19:57

      What are you talking about..

      Samsung Galaxy S4 4G LTE i9505 (16GB, White)
      $599

      • Delivery
        Was $769 Save $170
      • bazzazz on 10/09/2013 - 20:01

        I am looking at it on my mobile. . The White one doesn't show a discount on the mobile site.. dunno. :/

    • supercat on 10/09/2013 - 19:58

      Now they even changed the original price from $589 to $769 and the discount to $360. It looks like its a real deal

  • unity1 on 10/09/2013 - 19:55

    I'd imagine Kogan could be sitting on nearly half a million dollars by the end of the night from all these orders.

    • Crownanchor on 10/09/2013 - 19:58

      more than half a million, the sales are comming through steadily and $500 000 is 1222 S4's, could be $1 million already.
