It seems like that the new price has not been updated yet however, the coupon works :). The orders may get cancelled tomorrow but worth trying. .

1 x AAA+ 1x AA Free after applying the coupon

Note: If they they do not honour it, the orders may get cancelled tomorrow. I ordered it anyway just for fun :).

Update from the comment section:

Just picked up my batteries. I got 2 x AA 40-Packs and 1 x AAA 30-Pack for $9.98. The staff member told me that they only cancelled orders with a total of $0.00
Thanks to Saka Da Balls

….

    • silent1 on 06/05/2015 - 00:54

      Seems like the code only works for 1 item resulting in a $9.98 discount instead of the full $20.

        You are doing it wrongly? I got 30+40 batteries for FREE

        • demere on 06/05/2015 - 00:59

          same here… i got 1 pack of AA and 1 pack of AAA for FREE!

        • GnarlyKnuckles on 06/05/2015 - 01:39

          @demere:

          "… i got … (etc.)"

          Not yet you didn't… it might have been safer to just order one lot ($9.98 worth)… Sometimes those who just order the minimum amount they can get for free get rewarded when these errors occur, while those that try and "max-out" the freebie have their orders cancelled…

          Not judging at all, juz sayin'…

          Good luck all!

          Ah, seems like if you put two of the same items the discount only applies to one. If it's two different items it'll apply to both.

    I just found in my account however a click and collect that still says readt to collect even though I collected it a couple of months ago. Hmm.

      Maybe your local DSE outlet is a bit like the 'Magic Pudding' Bleacher… you chould try and collect it again (and again, and again, etc.) :)

        How come I feel I couldn't do that with a clear conscious, but happy to try and get 70 batteries for free?

        The other day I ordered a Bluetooth waterproof speaker for $60 but they delivered a wifi extender worth $150. Could have sold it and bought the speaker again, making a profit… But couldn't. So took it back to a store to exchange.

          "How come I feel I couldn't do that with a clear conscious, but happy to try and get 70 batteries for free?"

          LOL, yeah I hear ya. I'm happy to try my luck on a one-off pricing/code error (as long as it's an error made by a big/successful company who can easily absorb it), cause it's logical to assume that whether I do or don't will have no net effect at all on the situation; either I cash in on it, or someone else does. But when it starts to pretty much resemble theft, or a subtle scam (like pretending ginger is potatoes while weighing it at the self-check-out at Woolies, for example), I'm out. Not entirely logical I know… it's just the way my personal ethics seem to be structured at this point in my life.

          It would be quite interesting to know where different OzBers draw the line in this regard, and on what basis…

          @GnarlyKnuckles:

          Ye, I tend to agree with you.

          I guess the difference is whether they are the ones making the mistakes (via coupons stacking, price error etc.) or you are the one actively causing the event (like ginger-potato switcharoo).

          @koreainhyuk:
          Aye, wise words hombre, I think that's what I was essentially driving at but I didn't articulate it properly/clearly. Well said.

          I have 2 orders that are still "Ready to collect" from Mar 15 and Dec 2014 at 2 different stores but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to collect them again. It's just the staff who served me forgot to update my orders' status.

          BTW, mis amigos, don't do that because if you succeed then the staff who serve you may have their salary deducted and/or receive bad performance reviews. (Not sure about retail workers but I used to work in a restaurant and when I made mistakes I had to pay for that or get bad review from my supervisor.)

        • brongz on 06/05/2015 - 02:26

    Wnk, you might have got away with receiving your batteries had you not posted the deal on here.

    Big Dick is going to realise he is gettin ozb'd again and cancel all the orders.

    Lucky we all have a stash of eneloops in the kitchen drawer for just such a disastrous occurrence.

    • WNK on 06/05/2015 - 01:32
      +2

      Yep, there are more than enough eneloops.

    • GnarlyKnuckles on 06/05/2015 - 03:03

      "… and cancel all the orders."

      Not necessarily so Q-ball. Clearly "the big dick" is chucking these batteries out/clearing them (i.e. it's a 'discontinued line'), and is not exactly fussy about the price they get. Also, on 'zany errors' like this, if there's many different outlets involved often some orders get honoured even if the majority get cancelled. It's actually a lot smarter for the company involved to honour at least a few of the orders, so that 'mass hate' is avoided; if for example 10% of the community actually get their orders, the rest of the community then feels happy for them/ can 'write-off' their own personal lack of order-fulfilment as being due to limited stock, and the company avoids massive/united consumer back-lash.

      Woolies realised this (or it just happened accidentally) when they miraculously crashed through with some of the toilet-paper orders.

      Before that, there was the Coke; I don't think anyone who got their order (at least 80% or those who ordered?) could ever truly dislike Woolies again after that one…

      'Staples' is another mob who actually honoured an unexpectedly large number of orders made after someone seemingly 'screwed up the decimal point' (quality work-boots delivered for $2 a pair etc.)

      So what I am trying to say is, where a pricing error like this occurs re a product the company is essentially trying to 'clear' anyway, the company is far better off simply honouring as many orders as stock/logistics allows; despite the error. The smarter companies out there seem to realise this.

    • cowiie on 06/05/2015 - 01:52

      Don't you mean $10 for 80 AA batteries

      • ethanol on 07/05/2015 - 16:36

        I meant 2xAA (together with 1xAAA) - so $30 in total (-$20 voucher) = $10 for 2x30 + 1x40 = 100 batteries

      You can get a small sachet of tomato sauce for free at Maccas, but you need to buy some fries to qualify for that 'deal'; so I guess technically, it is not actually free.

  • DEvok on 06/05/2015 - 02:12

    If you get to the store before the online department finds out you can get them free, just make sure you get up early cause these battery's are normal stock that the stores usually have.

      If you don't have an email saying your click and collect order is ready to collect, wouldn't you be wasting your time going in store and asking for it? (Especially when you show them your order acknowledgement as part of your special request and they see $0!)

    well if people are going with click n collect, worst case is dick runs out of batteries and you can't click and collect anymore. So worst case is he partially clears shelf in good will. They don't do click and collect until empty shelves, they keep some for full paying customers. And they stores don't keep 1000's.

    I'm sure delivery costs will put some people off, if they can't click n collect.
