Anyone else buy a PS4 from DickSmith online?

So i just purchased a PS4 from Dicksmith's Ebay store during the 20% off deal.

It arrived yesterday, i was astounded at how slack the person was in packing/sending it off from Dicksmith.

The PS4 was sent as is, no packaging or wrapping, just a sticker slapped on the box and my last name and the date scribbled on the side in permanent marker, the box is all torn up aswell.

Being one to horde the box and keep it forever, this made me die a little inside.
Has anyone else received orders from them in a similar fashion?

    I also recieved mine but on Thursday and the same thing, just a sticker on the side. However my box was in great condition. Assuming it's simply a cost saver, but can't complain as it was cheap and it works.

    Probably the name and date was written on by the post office not Dick Smith. Mine do this on the side of parcels so they are easier to find.

    If this is how Dick Smith are posting them, they should be prepared for a whole bunch to go "missing".

    I bought the Xbox One Titanfall bundle from their ebay store 20% off sale. It arrived on Tuesday in a seal air bag. The box is fine but it had a sticker on it with delivery info for the Toombul dick smith store dated May 2014. I believe they sent it from this store.

    I wish - Was going to buy one last weekend, confirmed the voucher still worked, then came back 20 minutes later and the deal had ended…

    Are they likely to run this again soon?

    Yes, my box was torn - https://www.dropbox.com/s/nikpqnx9oicstk3/image.jpg

    I'm glad I got it delivered to my work as it was a birthday present but I did not expect that they would not bother to wrap it in that black plastic.

    that's how Dick Smith send the PS4 and Xbox One since the previous deals.

    Bought mine in Feb from DSE. Arrived in original box with shipping label. No outer carton. Arrived safely but not a good way of sending it.

      Mine was the same as this, just plain packaging with a sticker slapped on. I was a bit concerned about it at first, but once it was setup, no issues since. Not 100% happy with the delivery, but it did get here in a decent condition.

    My friend got her PS4 on Friday and her box was torn also, seems a bit slack not to at least cover the box before sending…

    I think Im the only one who didnt get mine already. Friends was similar story, torn box but console ok. Hopefully mine shows up ok tomorrow

    Yep. But I don't horde boxes, and never resell them so I'm not too fussed.

    Still no sign of a repeat of the $423 deal :/
