The email says EDTNVM. Mod edited just as I posted.
I hope to get one, do they stack when buying goods? I know I can use them online, after all- despite what some stuff says, but can I use 2 or more?
Yes you can… I had stacked 9 of these at one time..
Like dominoes ?
Exactly like dominoes.
Chuckle, you're getting funnier in your old age jv ;)
Pimppppppp ok awesome, thanks man. I only need to collect like 3 more before Nov 18'th.
Eneloops for $7.5?
Damnit now I regret buying them for ~$12.5.
Can we use our GCs to buy another GC? :D
Cardception
haha Can I neg this scam already? I guess 9 am - 10 am for Qlder's. Goodluck!
Potato scallop, lol
Aye, that bizarre 'regional' term for a potato-cake cracks me up too ham-wisp… I mean, "scalloped potato" is a fair enough concept… ya' could say that's even 'cultured' terminology, but 'a potato scallop'?!? wtf? lolol.
Perhaps we could grind pop-corn down into tiny wee fragments, and call it 'pop-corn caviar'?
No deal. They are refunding people for no reason and wasting peoples time.
Also one thing of note, the 10$ GC is completely not listed on their site at the moment, probably to stop people scamming it early somehow?! Smart move I guess.
What's the deal with all these DSE discounts lately? They started off with 10% off then 15% and 20% now 50%? Not that I dont mind a good bargain but if they are about to go down the crapper I would have second thoughts about buying more than one or two to play around with. Just food for thought, must be all the rain.
If they go down, dont worry there are hundreds of VCs will billions to dollars ready to hawk in. You have no idea how VCs will pound in on any brand.
VCs?
vietcong.
Isn't venture capital for startups? How would that even work with a company which is already publicly traded?
"…but if they are about to go down the crapper"
Hardly hombre… actually DSE has undergone some kind of mega-jump in worth in recent years… I forget the exact details, but apparently it's currently worth more than five times what it was valued at (or what it was sold for maybe?) less than five years ago.
So I reckon all this heavy, but sort of "randomly structured" discounting is just more and more building of brand awareness. Sure we bag them out anytime they offer us a measly discount of only 20% or so, but we still seem to be checking out their deals every day, and waiting to see what they'll do next. That's brand awareness I suppose.
I will say this; when the first lot of 'my' (erm, variously addressed) "ENVELOPES of ENELOOPS" (I love how that sounds) were delivered today, just a couple of days after I'd ordered them (at a profit, basically), I actually felt a bit of loyalty to DSE…
Use this to buy Skype gift card?
VC Venture Capitalist, or V for Vulture depending on your disposition.
Is it Pacific Equity Partners? Or Texas Pacific Group. I get them all mixed up. Could be CVC. They buy and sell every few years and I get my Myer and DSE deals mixed up with other brands.
My gf needs a new laptop… could I buy like 30 of these and use towards said purchase?
if you're fast enough, yes. but be prepared to be negged by any cry babies who didn't get any.
"… could I buy like 30 of these"
You could try subway, but it's limited to "one per transaction", and given that there's only a total of 300 on offer, I reckon you'll be lucky to get even 1!
HEY DSE REP' (I know your reading this… ;-P):
Why don't you make it "1 per IP address", and make a few thousand of them available? THAT would build your client-base massively, and the 'frenzy'/'DSE-fever' would last quite a while/ reach way more peeps…
Totally figures.
Well maybe if they put my Eneloops in the same box instead of five individual tracked parcels contain one packet each. Oh and fix the customer phone line to not auto hang up at most menu options. Just a start…
EDIT
The food company is separate.
Dick Smith Foods is a different business to Dick Smith Electronics. The only similarity is the name branding, nothing else.
Completely separate businesses these days; one about to die, the other very much alive… re the dying one, my favourite products that they used to sell (just cause of the names) were the cheese, and the matches.
It says one per person how have you been able to buy more?im looking to get something from them and the less it is the better so how does one buy more than one or not possible?
Guest account, or multiple e-mail addresses.
How does it work are you sent a card emailed a code or need to buy something there and then?
You're sent a card.
And if lucky enough to get one how long a wait?
How long's a randomly constructed circuit of AA chocolate eneloops?
I take they don't charge postage on the card lol
Correctomondo.
I'd never order from dick smith again. I recently pre-ordered some games, one in particular came out on the 7th. I was told it was sent for delivery on the 6th and I still didn't have it yesterday (14th) bit was coming from somewhere nearby as well. Called up and I was told it hadn't left the warehouse and didn't have a shipping date for it yet. Never again! All pre-orders cancelled.
Not a convenient time for me as I have to work those times, wish it was for after 5pm.
I haven't got my last gift card yet. :/
Update:
Sent a message to them on their FB page… they got their online folks to give me a call and they sent the invoice again and finally the gift card came through as well…Didn't get this deal (every error imaginable), but at least the last one worked ok.
they sent by email (e-gift card) not the actual plastic gift card. I received mine from last deal.
Yeah, I haven't received it yet… not via email anyway, and the status of the order is "Complete" which is frustrating. I've written to them, no reply yet. :/
If you didn't receive your last one what I did was contacted there facebook page and mysteriously just after the chat it appeared even though they said they sent it a few weeks before that

Stupid dick, you just have to make it so hard

Hey, who doesn't like hard dick? ;)
I selected one $10 gift card and got this:
"Invalid quantity
Dick Smith $10 Gift Card has a quantity limit and the maximum you can order is 1.
Please update your quantity."
What a waste of time. Dick…You probably already have 1 in your cart. I got the same message.
the coupon is still invalid for me.
working fine for me though, it's taking ages to load but works.
Has anyone got one yet?
All this hassle for a net $5 gain, I'm not even gonna bother trying…you guys can have mine.
Coupon code "5GIFT4U" is not valid.
Deal seems over or not started yet - but the website is slow.

Did someone at Dick just forgot to activate the code for possibly the most popular item of the sale?
Probably, what dicks

This one looks like a wash to me, it's too popular? Listing it on OzBargain over 12 hours beforehand, looks like it's getting proper smashed.

Applied, but still showing $10.
