    Seriously who the hell are they selling to 14 minutes mid afternoon on bloody saturday with measly 14% off.

    Bet you the internet traffic will grind the website to a halt and nobody can use it for the next 14min. Should be 14 hours

    • geekboy on 14/02/2015 - 09:59

      This!

      You know their site will fall over within seconds of this deal going live.

      Measly 14% or not. (Personally I don't think 14% is that measly but others seem to expect more!)

  • fruxo on 14/02/2015 - 01:19

    That's not too bad if there's not more exclusions than that. I've been keeping my eye on a specific TV (Samsung 60 inch). With the discount, it's $200 less than everywhere else. Not cheap enough for bargain status with all the other recent 60 inch TV deals from other brands, but since I wanted this specific one and rather sooner than later, I might go for it. Will be interesting to see if the price change tomorrow though (checked just now and still same price as per normal).

    Also been considering a fitbit charge hr. Being new, it seem everyone is selling it for the $199 rrp, so even if $172 isn't a great discount, it's the cheapest I've seen.

    Anyway, we'll see if additional exclusions are added and how much prices change. There probably won't be any huge bargains, but a storewide discount is always nice for getting decent prices on certain items.

    Edit: although they could have done it for 14 hours instead, 14 minutes is a bit silly.

    DSE shows its love the usual way - mean AND conditional.
    14 mins sale. may as well make it 14 seconds. 14 seconds = 14th of the second (14/02).
    No love from me.

  • sween64 on 14/02/2015 - 07:54

    No way will they be able to stick to these times. Often their codes starting at 5pm aren't actve until ~5:30pm.

    It's only good if that exclusion list doesn't get any bigger.

  • stilted on 14/02/2015 - 07:59

    At least games are not excluded - …

    Despite stiff competition, I think DSE deserve the award for the most consistent negative customer sentiment generated through promotional offers. They should sack whoever is making these decisions, or alternately put them up as LNP candidates in the next Federal election.

    Ok I could be wrong but I could swear the Canon 70D was cheaper when I looked this morning. I didn't keep track because it was still more than I was willing to pay and I've spent enough on cameras lately. It's now showing at $1,549. If they are putting up prices, whether it's legal or not, that makes it a complete waste of time looking.

  • constipated on 14/02/2015 - 16:23

    Instant slowness at 4.14pm. I put in an order. It stuffed up after the submit order button. Saying "undefined" as error message then something about postcode. Did not go through to a confirmation page.

    However I've gotten an email saying order submitted but payment being verified (paid by CC). Do you think this is a successful order?

    • b0nkers on 14/02/2015 - 16:54

      I had trouble checking out with paypal for the first couple of tries, It would just be stuck after confirming payment.

      I made sure to check my transactions to confirm whether the payment went through. After it went through, got the email confirmation so I'd think so.

      And they send me the email advertising the sale at 4:23! What's the point Dick-heads? (managers at Dick Smith)

    Had the Samsung UA55H7000 Tv placed in shopping cart and just clicked on the redeem code as soon as it hit 3:14, QLD time. I was going to get this through my insurance claim via Jb hifi which had it for $1598. Decided to get the cash instead and shop for my own price so with this deal I am $120 better off with click and collect. Enough for decent valentines dinner the wife for tonight.

  • Elijha on 14/02/2015 - 16:28

    again got the the order confirmation page and again dick was screwing with me this time it kept telling me my suburb and postcode didn't match .. which is odd as it looked right and pre-filled from my last order .. 3 tries later and it goes to my cart saying nothing is in it … I look at my account order history and it shows as processing .. no emails though.

    • poporange630 on 14/02/2015 - 16:30

      Exact same! postcode screwed, tried both chrome and IE no luck. Now using paypal payment but still stuck at the last step. What the hell is this?

  • poporange630 on 14/02/2015 - 16:32

    I've finally got through in the last minute by ignoring that 'mismatch' popup and click the button when it's still clickable (you'll have roughly 2 seconds). Hopefully they'll honor my LG UHD TV order as it's what they've advertised and not price error at all.

  • gotz on 14/02/2015 - 16:36

    Waste of time for me. Kept getting the postcode error. Order finally went through after the promo had ended and reverted to the original price. I think you have to pick the postcode from a drop down box (instead of manually entering it) but this box refused to load.

    • bowenking on 14/02/2015 - 17:00

      The exact same thing happened to me, so doggy. And then I checked how to cancel the order, their policy shows normally you cannot cancel an order which has been submitted:

      Generally you cannot add or delete items to an order once it has been submitted.
      You should however view your order status. If the order status is ‘Order being processed’ you can contact the Customer Service Centre on 1300 366 644 and they confirm whether there is still time to modify or cancel the order.
      If you want to cancel your order but it has already been processed, you may still be able to return the product.

      So I called their hotline, they are not working in the weekends. I have to email them at [email protected]. No reply yet, hope I won't end up by returning the item and paying for the postage.

      • ozstig on 14/02/2015 - 17:53

        Pathetic. Same problem here.

  • RickyNelson on 14/02/2015 - 18:00

    I think the suburb and postcode mismatch problem related to Chrome, I got this problem as well.
    Then switch to FireFox.
    Ordered the Samsung TV and Dicksmith posted the transaction to my credit card straight away, I check my online credit card statement found that entry.

  • peznoodle on 14/02/2015 - 18:35

    Ugh I had the postcode issue too.. but somehow an order went through even though the page never came up.. I kept trying and then a second order ended up going through at full price! They better refund this!

    • peznoodle on 15/02/2015 - 13:26

      Has anyone's order during the sale actually been processed yet? I got a message saying I could pick up the order I paid full price for, but the one with the discount applied still says 'processing'.

    • eatwell365 on 15/02/2015 - 07:17

      Depend what type of delivery, think they sent via Startrak ie AustraliaPost. If you are not home, it can be pickup in Post Office.

      • RickyNelson on 15/02/2015 - 12:53

        Oh…I bought a TV.
        What is the best way to know when (the time) the courier will arrive at my door steps?

        Let say if they provide the tracking #, how do I know they are on their way to my house?

        • eatwell365 on 15/02/2015 - 20:37

          Don't know about DSE. Others would normally give you a call and tell you what date, then you are there 9-5. The better ones would tell you am or pm.

        Similar thing happened to me. bought a kasser media player from DSE. Picked up at shop and staff quickly placed in the bag. Lucky I have a habit to check as I was walking out, the box was opened and inside was obviously used. I asked politely for another one, and staff said checked stock and there were a few. I do believe they know and try to get rid of the returned stock and sell me an old as new.
