    Got my C&C without any problems. Not sure what the fuss is all about. Maybe I was just lucky. It was in a box got 2. The guy took it out & just handed to me. Winning.

  • bwatt72 on 17/07/2015 - 19:24

    I did notice in my invoice of a date 18/7 so maybe the reason why i not been asked to collect surely they tell me tomorrow or should i go up there and just ask for them? Its 24km away they just might not have the stock and these are coming in for me then

    • Scaregdearimasu on 17/07/2015 - 19:36

      hmm yeah same for me. Wonder what thats about.
      Anyway I called mine up and just asked if they had any stock.
      They said they did and I asked them to set aside the quantity I ordered.
      I didn't tell them I already payed though so a little deceptive there I suppose.
      Said I'd be in tomorrow morning to pick them up.
      So they have stock the only question is whats gonna happen when I get down there.
      Should be interesting.

      You can give yours a call I think they stay open till 9pm.

    • Gav on 17/07/2015 - 19:36

      You'll get an email when it's ready to collect. It comes after the invoice email.

      Mine says 18th as well. I'm going to go in store tomorrow regardless if I don't receive a collection email.

  • mmd on 17/07/2015 - 23:33

    Just received my confirmation to collect.
    To all those who have been refunded: Did you pay by credit card or Paypal?

    • somebargainhunter77 on 17/07/2015 - 23:37

      I paid through PayPal, got mine refunded and co-worker paid with his debit card, got his refunded. It seems like OW honored everyone else's purchases except for ours. I'm not very happy. OW is just as bad as Dick.

  • Doggiie on 17/07/2015 - 23:37

    I paid for C&C very early and I was able to get it. I was talking to the manager at my local OW, and he said they are currently in backlog and it is on the onus of the OW overall if they would meet the demands of the remaining orders or just give up on them.

  • skayper on 18/07/2015 - 00:32

    Received mine delivered this morning. Thanks OP. I hope everyone will get theirs soon too

  • nubzy on 18/07/2015 - 11:18

    Anyone with a delivery date of 18th received a collection email yet? Still waiting..

    • Scaregdearimasu on 18/07/2015 - 12:02

      Haven't received mine (email) yet but I assume like you that the delivery date on the receipt means it will be delivered on that day. From what I found out though they scan it as it gets off the truck and that automatically sends the pickup now email.

      So I called them yesterday and got them to set aside my order quantity for me because apparently they had some in stock. I guess the point of click and collect for them is that they hold stock for display and anything ordered click and collect is delivered to them from the warehouse and then you get your email. I guess they could of pulled stock from display if they have an ample amount but I'm guessing they'd rather have your money and wait as well as having shelf stock rather than having you get your items faster.

      Went down today and they were able let me pick up my order early. Didn't seem to be a problem at all they just wanted was a photo copy of ID as proof of pickup and a signature. They just said to ignore the "pickup is ready email" as they can't really cancel it.

  • bwatt72 on 18/07/2015 - 13:48

    I'm tempted to do the same I will give them today as says 18th if not then I will ask to keep two aside and see what happens on Sunday starting to get sick of waiting who knows if I ordered from the other store 24 km the other side of me I may have had them already they all said stock when ordereing but who knows which store had the most

  • hambuger on 18/07/2015 - 14:39

    Damn, missed out! Ah well.

    Damn missed out as well due to my birthday and was OzBargain-Free day hahahah

  • bwatt72 on 18/07/2015 - 17:05

    Still no contact about collecting my order says 18th on the invoice and when you look online in the store says in stock where as other stores in my area say no stock i should just drive up there grab them if any and say i have these reserved is there any chance they are forgetting my order or are really waiting for mine to come in which might not and end up getting canceled,not sure what to do here if wait a little longer or pay visit to store?

    • wtfnodeal on 19/07/2015 - 08:15

      Just give the store a call or rock up there. I once bought batteries click and collect but never received any email. 3 months later I drove pass the store and asked about it they told me it had been sitting there for 3 months waiting for me to pick up. LOL some stores have worst customer service I have ever seen.

      • bwatt72 on 19/07/2015 - 13:50

        So you think I should call ask what they have tell them to keep go up there and say I have these reserved,it's still saying await allocation when I check up in my account and invoice says 18th still no pick up email,I do that many places around the state say out of stock or call fir stock as low but where mine was ordered say in stock,I'm not sure if this is right or wrong as in them having stock,who knows as you said they might be sitting there for me and just not contacted me. Or they just have very low shop stock and don't want to supply them but if someone has placed an order has already paid days ago then they should.
        I suppose if they say yes on phone they have stock in stock and I go up there they can't really refuse as if mine is waiting to come into store then they can replace shop stock with mine,I just feel the longer I leave this it may slip away from me ie they don't give me my order but it sure does say in most stores very low or no stock but yet the one I ordered from says in stock but yet I'm still waiting

  • ramshyam1982 on 18/07/2015 - 20:31

    Damn missed it :( Good post

  • imnotarobot on 19/07/2015 - 21:37

    I paid with credit card for two, with delivery. An hour or two after the deal was posted. Had them at my door the following day. Not sure why others are having problems.

    • CLoSeR on 20/07/2015 - 09:06

      Because there is little stock available; most of us are waiting on backorders.

  • gavt on 20/07/2015 - 11:23

    As of this morning, still nothing in Sydney Clarence St store…

  • GrandNagus7 on 20/07/2015 - 11:58

    Nothing from the South Melbourne store. Expected delivery of the stock was on the 18th. I just gave them a call and they said that they will send out an email once it has arrived but didn't answer my initial question of the current status of the order.

    The service rep then just said "bye" and hung up. Pretty rude.

    They should at least notify you if there is a delay.

    • CLoSeR on 20/07/2015 - 13:58

      My order says Backorder 10-14 days… suspect yours says the same so be patient.

  • bwatt72 on 20/07/2015 - 14:15

    I was checking my order on office work even if invoice said 18thvwhen I check today it's saying dispatched but this is not yo me but store as selected click and collect,when you go to there online store it says stock in that store why don't they give me that ones?
    Just wonder how much longer I need to wait

  • obiwanmy on 20/07/2015 - 14:45

    Just called officeworks and apparently they are working on a backorder of up to 10 business days ….

    • CLoSeR on 20/07/2015 - 19:25

      It's always said Backorder 10-14 days since my order has been placed.. people are kinda going nuts expecting to get it sooner.

  • iChopstick on 20/07/2015 - 16:52

    Stopped by Mona Vale store just now to enquire about my C&C (have not received notice to pickup). Despite the store showing no stock online since the day the deal was posted, my order was just sitting at the back.

    For people still waiting, it might be worth a try to ring your store and have someone check for you.

    • nubzy on 20/07/2015 - 16:57

      I rung the store and was told to wait for the email and then hung up on. They said they don't get deliveries on Saturdays (confirmation said delivery was 18th). Pretty terrible customer service really, I would have expected at least an update on the order by now I.e. Awaiting stock. Wouldn't surprise me if the order is sitting there waiting for collection or that they have stock on shelves and staff are too lazy to check. I ordered from a store that is not local so not going to drive there until I receive the email/text.

      • iChopstick on 20/07/2015 - 17:21

        Damn, I'd be reluctant to give them business if I get treated like that. Hope you don't have to wait long.

      • CLoSeR on 20/07/2015 - 19:23

        I don't think you're looking at the right date.. my confirmation says "Del Date/Furn Del: 18.07.2015" my order date at 16.07.2015.

        Down below in product description row it has Google Chromecast then in the Delivery Date column a value of "TBC" and under Quantity Ordered 1.000 (BO 1)

        So I read that as 1 on backorder and delivery date to be confirmed.

        This date of the 18th is probably the same on everyones confirmation and I don't think it's a true delivery date indication.

  • Mattapie on 21/07/2015 - 08:07

    Mine was delivered yesterday.

  • nubzy on 21/07/2015 - 15:53

    They are on back order with no ETA, could be waiting for a while..

  • pipster11 on 21/07/2015 - 15:57

    Just got an email saying it is ready to collect.
    Literally as I was checking other stores to pick one up from.
    Good luck everyone else.

  • freemoneyhunter on 21/07/2015 - 17:07

    I don't like it, sure it is cheap but I think a person would be better off spending a little more (like $20) on a Pi 2, then you can browse internet, watch movies etc without needing a PC to stream content.

    • Scaregdearimasu on 21/07/2015 - 17:17

      While that would work it would be more difficult to setup perfectly and the user experience could be less enjoyable than this.

      The whole point of the chromecast is to use other devices that you already use to send the video link to the chromecast itself. Using say the netflix app on your phone or tablet and pushing the chromecast button is a lot more convenient then say getting up to power on the pi2 then turning on your wireless mouse then using a pc UI on a TV + a wireless keyboard to find a video to play.

      It's not perfect mind you but it's more convenient then most alternatives at the moment.

    Order status updated to dispatched - Waiting C&C email - Sydney. ;)

    • CLoSeR on 23/07/2015 - 15:56

      Have been tracking my order since dispatched; looked like delivered to my local store so I called them. They had to go out the back and found it had just arrived off the truck and was about to be scanned in within the hour at which point a click and collection notification will be sent.

    Just got "Your order xxxxxxxx is ready for collection" - Brisbane

  • qtmai on 22/07/2015 - 16:52

    I just picked up my order from local ow, the box was empty…. Well done ow!! Store manager said they will fix it…..

  • nubzy on 22/07/2015 - 16:57

    Who is still waiting on collection email in Sydney? The lady who phoned said they were on back order with no ETA…
    Hoping they have secured stock and I get the pickup notification before weeks end.

    • CLoSeR on 23/07/2015 - 16:05

      Has order status changed to Diapatched?

  • Noobist45 on 23/07/2015 - 20:53

    Got my confirmation today for Pickup - Yay

  • sha81 on 24/07/2015 - 08:52

    Picked mine up this morning from the Brisbane city store. Looked like they had a few there waiting to be picked up.

  • gavt on 24/07/2015 - 09:56
