Some Logitech Mice, Keyboards, Webcams, Headsets and Cooling Pads are able to claim 100% cashback from Feb 1

see the website here
http://www.logitechcashback.com.au

still not a bad deal - given that after cashback, you essentially get the product for free

The stickers are on ALL the products at Dick Smith Arndale - and on the sticker it says, "Purchase me and receive 100% cashback". The upload is a photo of the sticker itself. I got excited as I thought I could pick up a logitech steering wheel with the cash back, but upon upon further investigation, I can see that only a limited number of products are included in this deal.

Only applies to these old models but 5 per household is not bad.

M100 wired mouse
M215 wireless mouse
K200 keyboard
C200/C210 web cam
Clearchat style headset
MK250/MK260 wireless combo
N100/N120 cooling pad

(Thanks POWERevolution)

mod more from PowerRevolution (Thanks)

Valid between 01.02.11 & 28.02.11 OR until AUD$300,000 in online cash back funds are exhausted, whichever occurs 1st.
Receipt(s) must be received by mail within 14 calendar days of online claim.
Limit of 5 claims per household.
Aust residents only.
Business, education, hospitals, fundraisers & similar organisations, some lay-bys & internet purchases are ineligible.
Logitech Australia Computer Peripherals Pty Ltd (ABN 21 069 691 989) of L2, 608 Liverpool Rd, Sth Strathfield 2136. NSW Permit No.LTPS/10/12639; SA Permit No. T10/3093.

As at 30/01/2011 midnight, this deal has 2246 click throughs. Assuming others out there know about the deal, consider what happens if 3000 people have made purchases

$300,000 is available for the cashback. If there are just 3,000 customers, so far, who know about the deal, that's about $100 each.

So, just a heads up there is a chance you won't get a cashback

    He wants to return it with a photocopied reciept so that he can still claim it with the original reciept…thus making a profit? A bit unethical, you got it for free. Be happy with it :)

DSE is selling way more expensive than the others,

MK250

DSE $49.95
Officeworks $34
PLE in WA $29

Webcam C200
DSE $39.95
Officeworks $19.50

M215 Wireless mouse
DSE $28.97
Officeworks $19

No wonder the fund runs out so fast, the buyers never border to price match. Just like the insulation scheme, money goes to the greedy O M, not the ones that need it.

Hope my donation to the flood will not ended up like this.

  Ugh, it's DSE's fault that the deal ended so quickly! If everyone had bought from OW at the cheapest prices, then more people could've claimed!
  Time to boycott DSE….lol jk.
  
  I did wonder though, what if some idiot put $300,000 as a joke in the purchase price section and then straightaway killed the countdown clock/competion for everyone else lol, that'd be funny (only after I claim though) :P

    Totally agree with you.
    
    Take WebCAM C200 for example, (39.95-19.50)/39.95 = 51.2%. With a worst case, all buyer pays 51.2% higher than the cheapest price. That means 300k * 51.2% = $153k could have been saved and allocated to someone else instead of going to the greedy retailers.
    - POWERevolution on 01/02/2011 - 19:38
      
      totally agree with you too.
      They sure make alot of profit from this promotion, sell RRP for all the old stocks!

cyrax83 on 01/02/2011 - 14:39

i would rather a mouse/keyboard/headset/webcam than a cooling pad. Cooling pad just sounds like a stupid idea, laptops hardly overheat to the extent of needing a cooling pad - unless your doing video conversion or folding 24x7.

I am so glad I was up late last night. Finished work at 2am, went to 24hr Kmart in Boronia and grabbed a K200 and MK250. Woke up today at 10:30 and after a trip to Knox City, picked up M100, M215, C200, MK250 and the headset. Made two seperate claims under mine and my fiance's name, and next time I checked no money left! I'm fairly new to Ozbargain, and the power scares me a little :)

    Nope, I used her parents address as she still gets plenty of mail sent there, so she will definitely end up with the cheque. I'm excited. I've needed a new keyboard and mouse for a while now and never got around to buying, but now I have multiples for free!

I agree. If all the cashbacks work without a hitch then IMHO this is the best Ozbargain Poster ever. lol.

  Yes this is an awesome deal but for me not as good as the ING Orange cash deal they had some time back
elguapo on 01/02/2011 - 14:52

Officeworks QV are even removing the cash back stickers from the products that had them. Good move if you ask me. I think it is only right that Logitech inform all their retailers they sent cash back stickers to to do the same. It would be dishonest and immoral to leave the stickers on the products at this point given the money pool is gone.
- jv on 01/02/2011 - 14:54
  
  They had nothing left when i was there just before 1pm ??? what are they removing the stickers off ???
  - montorola on 01/02/2011 - 14:56
    
    The z5500s ;)
  - elguapo on 01/02/2011 - 14:57
    
    I was there at about the same time and there were the wired keyboards and wired mice left, not the desktop sets though. All the other products were just empty shelf spaces. The sales guys were looking at the cash back website and when it went down to zero I did over hear them saying that they were going to get a heap of returns tomorrow now.
    - jv on 01/02/2011 - 15:05
      
      oh, i forgot, they had plenty of wired keyboards everywhere in the CBD…
      
      Harvey Norman had stacks and stack of MK250's for $34…
- [Deactivated] on 01/02/2011 - 15:19
  
  It was dishonest and immoral not to make the T&C available before Feb 1st when the stickers were already on the boxes.
- Pobman on 01/02/2011 - 16:15
  
  I actually took the stickers off my products as I could see there was another sticker below… it was for the "Win $2000 daily" offer that ended in January … clearly that promotion did not shift quite the same levels of stock as this one did.

Thanks for the great bargain, but I have a slight concern. When I clicked on the yellow "Print Claim Form" button my internet explorer window crashed and I could not recover the page anymore. Do you think I can just print my confirmation email? I think it has pretty much the same information in it. Thanks.
- dins on 01/02/2011 - 15:03
  
  try selecting work offline and then going back to that page via history. Also they should send you the same thing to your email account.
  - nookular on 01/02/2011 - 15:06

I don't think this is the last we'll hear of this deal - there will be a lot of upset customers over the coming few weeks & lots of complaints will be made to the ACCC.

Logitech could be in breach of the Competition and Consumer Act (previously the Trade Practices Act) - the Act talks about misleading conduct and requires that:

"If retailers advertise goods at a specific
price, they should ensure they have
reasonable quantities of the good
available for customers to buy for a
reasonable period of time. If there is not
a reasonable chance that the goods will
be available at the advertised price, the
business may have broken the law.

Retailers should be able to show that
they made the offer in good faith and
had reasonable stock to meet the likely
demand for the advertised goods for the
length of the promotion"
Taken from here
- dins on 01/02/2011 - 15:07
  
  First in first served. How are they breaking the law there? 300K worth of stuff is not just a few things. If however customers buy to claim the cash back without knowing that the promotion has already closed then they should be entitled to a full refund from the store.
  - jv on 01/02/2011 - 15:07
    
    most of the stores in the list have a refund policy…
    - Crownie on 01/02/2011 - 15:11
      
      Refund FTW!!!
- jv on 01/02/2011 - 15:07
  
  Ummm ??? How are they in breach of the act ??? they were giving away discontinued lines…
  - adam on 01/02/2011 - 15:10
    
    -2
    
    If they could reasonably know that the stock would sell out very quickly then they would be in breach of the act by running the promotion throughout February - particularly if they placed those stickers on items that weren't covered by the sale & particularly if they don't put the same effort into removing the stickers now that they put into putting the stickers on last week.
    - sydney_kings on 01/02/2011 - 15:59
      
      The would be able to justify the promotion on the basis of historical sales. If the products of each of the items generated 300k of sales in one month, this would constitute evidence that the promotion was fairly described and advertised.
      
      The could not have envisaged (maybe the OzBargainers could have) such a response that the $300 would be utilised in less than one day.
      
      Any retailer should be obliged to offer refunds where the claim has not been made. The retailers have made enough of a margin today on the sales of the products where the claims have been successful and therefore should refund any items that haven't been claimed. How they manage to do this would be tricky (could be quite easy if they had to have the original receipt supplied).
- finance on 01/02/2011 - 15:08
  
  but t&c was pretty clear in that either when the time runs out or the money!
  
  how do u determine reasonable amount? they've set it for $300K.
  - jv on 01/02/2011 - 15:09
    
    considering every store i visited in Melbourne this morning had at least one of the items available, i consider that reasonable…
    - Kkuba on 01/02/2011 - 15:18
      
      but that goes to show, doesn't it, how there was WAYYY more stock on shelves (on only the first day mind you) than they were willing to give away. is that considered reasonable? I don't actually know, I am asking…
      
      I was the family courier today, running around, and across the city to pick up what everyone wanted (in blistering 40 deg heat… FML…) managed to get everything except for one item… to get home an realise that none of it could be claimed… :( - my point is, there is still a lot of stock around
      
      the overall point i am trying to make here is, if, hypothetically, logitech sells 500,000 worth of product on an ordinary day, then this offer would be unreasonable, if on the other hand, logitech sells 20,000 worth of product, then it would be much more reasonable… but i guess we don't know which end of the scale it is…
  - DKC on 01/02/2011 - 15:10
    
    I guess for him "reasonable" will be $30million. (If they want to last a whole month)
    Alternatively limit it to 1 day only.

    Well I like this deal better than Crap-of-the-Day's.
    
    At least logitech's website didn't keep crashing and you could see the progress of the promotion.
    
    With COTD, over 1,000,000 hits just to buy 1 Samsung 640GB HDD for $29 lol
- RandomNinja on 01/02/2011 - 15:27
  
  Logi isn't a retailer so they probably wouldn't be in breach of the Act.
  
  But a promotion they advertise for 28 days selling through in 13.5hrs? For non-OB people who bought this, it is somewhat unreasonable to expect that they couldn't claim their cashback on the first day of the promo!
  
  Hopefully Logi will honour cashbacks for people with receipts dated today.
  
  FWIW, I managed to sneak an online order and claimed it.
  - Kkuba on 01/02/2011 - 15:30
    
    i hope so too, except you cannot lodge a claim anymore, so you don't have a claim number or claim form to send to them….

GreatWhiteHunter on 01/02/2011 - 15:09

300k gone

There are going to be some people pretty pissed off when they buy their gear and can't get moneyback.

I reckon there are a few scammers out there who will have paid way over RRP for their gear from a
"friendly store" and will then get say $1k (5 x $200) back for 5 mice with an RRP of $29 each….
- finance on 01/02/2011 - 15:10
  
  i hope logitech would catch those reatilers out, if they are selling way above RRP.
- dins on 01/02/2011 - 15:13
  
  I'm sure in such a case Logitech would nullify the claim.
  - Livert on 01/02/2011 - 15:30
    
    Nothing in the T&Cs will allow Logitech to cancel such claims.
- Abbi on 01/02/2011 - 16:10
  
  They will know the maximum claim and investigate those claims that exceed that amount.
King Tightarse on 01/02/2011 - 15:10

There must be a certain percentage of failed claims due to TC violations, wrong products with stickers etc so that means a certain percentage of the fund might become available again?
I couldn't decide if it was just greed motivating me or not as I am pretty happy with most of the gear I have. I decided that I didn't actually need any of those things…well maybe a second wireless mouse would have been OK anyway, I ended up not able to get away this morning so no soup for me.
No biggie, but i wonder once all the whingeing starts if they'll some kind of round 2.
- jv on 01/02/2011 - 15:12
  
  some kind of round 2.
  
  Doubt it, stores i visited said those items are being discontinued…
  - finance on 01/02/2011 - 15:14
    
    i'm sure they are still more of those items. from ppl description the wired keybraod and mouse didn't really sell very well.
    - King Tightarse on 01/02/2011 - 15:19
      
      What I mean is: what happens to the (guessing) 5-10% potential funds from the dud claims that they find once they process everything?
      That plus 27 days of pissed off customers who can't claim anything may motivate them to do a smaller round 2 later on.
jv on 01/02/2011 - 15:14

Also, Harvey Norman in Melb CBD had refused to put the Gold Stickers on the items or advertise the promotion because they didn't want to disappoint customers after the promotions was stopped…
- King Tightarse on 01/02/2011 - 15:16
  
  Yeah that was a smart approach.
  This thing is still active for another 27 days…

I have done only (!!) $130 with 4 items, all from Jb HiFi online
- abc on 01/02/2011 - 21:52
  
  Its not about highest money since the items are essentially free.
  
  Highest money only meant the $300k went down faster and the fat cat retailers got a bigger cut.
devildude on 01/02/2011 - 16:14

$177.84 for 4 products, mainly due to the high price at Dick
- chansthename on 01/02/2011 - 16:16
  
  $109.90 for 2 items at DSE (also due to high prices)
- Livert on 01/02/2011 - 16:35
  
  $186.81. Also DSE.
  - chansthename on 01/02/2011 - 16:37

    - Ambiguous on 01/02/2011 - 17:07
      
      I paid $240 at DSE for my items, $60 for the cooling pad, $50 x2 for mk250s and headset and webcam @ $40 ea.
      
      It should be illegal to mark up prices like this but what are u gonna do, I actually hit OW first but couldnt find stock of half the items.
- POWERevolution on 01/02/2011 - 19:30
  
  DS take advantage of this promotion!!! Highest price out of JB hi-fi & OW.
chansthename on 01/02/2011 - 16:15

Just got a dick smith catalog advertising the cash-back. I bet people are going to look at it and rock up at their convenience for it only to find it is gone.

I suspect logitech knew it would go quickly (perhaps not as quickly as it went but still). I don't think it is an unreasonable promotion at all, however would have liked it if logitech had a no selling higher than RRP clause in the promo (to prevent any overpriced selling; and yes I am aware RRP is overpriced to begin with.)

I think that they left too much time in the promotion (but I guess the extra time allows for cancelled claims to be put back into the money pool).

Still I think it is an excellent way to clear out old stock (however am not sure if it is profitable for the manufacturer, I guess it must be for them to run it)

I for one would like to see future offers from logitech.
- finance on 01/02/2011 - 16:53
  
  it's advertising and the actually price of these items are would be lower.
  its great advertsing to offer free and get publicity then clearing it at very low prices.
  which what they will have to do sooner all later as no one would buy its old stuff!
  
  also other retails does 100% like ambi pur, its just not as highly priced hence doesn't seem like a big deal!
DKC on 01/02/2011 - 16:15

I think it's more accurate to see how much stuff people got rather than total cost. This is because, as identified above, for example, DSE charges way more than OW for the same product.
King Tightarse on 01/02/2011 - 16:16

Got the new DSE catalog today too, announcing with a huge advertisement this cash back offer.
Ozbargainers are way ahead of the pack on this but think the tide is going to turn PR wise for Logitech once everyone else finds out they can't claim anything.
Still a hugely generous idea, hope they keep doing it (with adjustments)

the price you paid is partly responsible for the fast countdown, because it was a 100% cashback it didn't matter what you paid, if Logitech wanted to really spread the love around more evenly they could have made it 50% off, in which case you would shop around first!

the way i see it, logitech will cop a lot of flak on both sides, retailers because a lot of items will be returned, and buyers because many will miss out, i mean, this WAS supposed to run for up to 28 days, but for many, 9am to 1.30pm was too short….now the sad posts…

  i wouldn't have got any of the items for 50% off as i didn't really need them… I'll use them to replace older stuff, but i wouldn't have paid for them…

  Agreed! It could have been a bigger discount than 50% off. If it was a 75% or 90% cashback, it would have lasted a little while longer cos some people just wouldn't be bothered if they didn't need it.
  
  I was in the same boat as jv, didn't actually need anything, but picked up stuff I thought my family could use only cos it was free.
