    Amazon is also one of my favorite stores. That said I don't understand why you feel the need to bash Shopping Express/PC Byte/TA in every comment/post.

        This is a price that neither Shopping Express or PC Byte can ever match !!

        Its totally pointless to the deal to put that there.

        • furythree on 22/11/2015 - 21:31

          no hes saying this is such a low price due to the buying power of amazon purchasing and USD pricing + blackfriday sales that you wont see it cheaper locally despite our friends PCB and SE always doing fantastic deals for us. Even if they tried, they wouldnt be able to get their distributors to lower the price this much (at least in the short term)

          therefore you should buy it now and not wait around expecting a multibillion dollar retailer to be one upped by 2 brick and mortar stores from the land of premium margins and GST, and end up missing out

          so you and the 19 others than upvoted you can get off your high horse now

          @furythree: Yet he's "trying to create competition". If we already know Aussie stores can't beat Amazon prices, why mention it? Of course there's a good chance SE or PCB can't beat it.

          If these prices aren't seen as a bad deal in 1-2 years Id be EXTREMELY surprised.

          Why not put that Dell or Harvey Norman or such wont beat these prices? Because we know that, who cares.

        • happychild100 on 22/11/2015 - 22:07

          @furythree: None of that is needed to be known. There's no need to take another dig at SE/PCB/TA, well knowing they can't beat the price of Amazon and their buying power, so what use it putting that in the deal?.

        there is a difference between Australian stocks, delivery times and cost model vs USA cost base and no gst model , so it's a bit unfair to expect Australians to under cut USA prices, though I do encourage competition between australian suppliers.

        I don't expect Australian suppliers to under cut Chinese phone charge cables which China sells for $1 inc postage. when local suppliers deal with local,postage costs.

          @furythree:

          Yeah I know. That was the con I was weighing up…. I doubt they will cut them which should see them stay the same. If rba was going to cut to boots confidence and spending at Xmas it should of done so already to give enough lead time. And any cut will be half eaten up the the big 4s increase already in which case they will never cut it by 50 base points given our crazy housing market. I'm just hoping it stays the same and at Xmas we get better sales with a slightly stronger dollar.

    Good deal EC, once all overseas purchases starts charging GST from July 2017, then you can compare SE and PC Byte deals to Amazon deals.

        • garage sale on 23/11/2015 - 04:30

          they wanted to apply it to bigger suppliers that can be targeted especially those selling digital content because it's easy to collect . but it's not worth chasing small suppliers , eg you target Amazon Apple etc so they pay the govt the gist they should be collecting they but not worth it for smaller sellers because then you burden Aust post to collect from mail order that suppliers didn't charge gst on ……

    Thanks for the app discount wiki. I thought shopping express' 480GB epic hour at $208 offer was good. But this deal is amazing! I got it shipped at AUD160.72, that's 33cents/GB. And I twice pulled the trigger on the Samsung evo 850 500GB for AUD215.84 since that's at an all time low price on Amazon too. The price/GB here swayed me from my Samsung fixation.

    As regards to the Amazon app discount wiki, thanks for that again. To give back to the community I've added my referral link there too.

      No, you send it to the local depot:

      If you are an Australian customer you will need to deliver or post your defective product to our local depot.

      You are responsible for any expenses you may incur in delivering your defective product to our local depot. All other expenses in relation to your approved warranty claim will be covered by SanDisk.

      Under the Australian Consumer Law (which applies irrespective of our warranty), you may be entitled to recover some or all of your expenses in making this warranty claim.
