    Just found out the iPod Speaker Dock is worth 69 bucks at JB HIFI (http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/ipod-mp3-portables/accessorie…) but I'm assuming the actual cost would be around 30-40.

    WOO HOO - these Staples deals are like the new DellSwarm!

    That TDK iCubic will work OK with an iPhone 3GS (I have both) but it chucks a "device not designed for iPhone" message on the phone when you dock it. Sound is only mono - it's just a big clock radio really.

    • seanbaussie on 30/04/2011 - 12:21

      I just got one and it works with my iphone4 too, sound is pretty good I reckon.

        LOL I kid.no offense :p

      • aec on 19/04/2011 - 07:04

        no you dont. the point of downloading game is to play them, not just save them on your hd, and delete them after a while.

        • llama on 19/04/2011 - 07:48

          LOL - but I haven't even installed them all yet, let alone played them.

      I got the biscuits too, but only the biscuits, no hard disk…

    • murphy09 on 20/04/2011 - 19:25

      Did anyone else get the hard drive and the biscuits in LARGE seperate boxes? I mean large (bigger than a shoe box) containing a small pack of biscuits, and another large box containing the hard drive.

      They could have fit both items into ONE box half the size!

      Tested write speeds and am getting 40 MB/s on a large file, and 20 MB/s on a bunch of picures. Nice!

      • lbft on 21/04/2011 - 01:29

        Both times I've ordered on a Tuesday the biscuits have come in a separate box. I assume they have them pre-boxed and just add a shipping label to the boxes when the orders come in…

        Still doesn't explain why they couldn't find a smaller box, though.

    • neosin on 21/04/2011 - 15:22

        It it does not fir it could be that the iphone 4 is the wrong size to fit in the hole

      It says it's not compatible but everything works, just switch to ipod mode and i can play music from my phone and charge it at the same time :D

      wooooot! exactly what i needed :P

  • innov on 20/04/2011 - 18:38

    ordered 2 but got an email saying its one per customer and charged me for one.. still happy with it though!

  • ur2dads on 20/04/2011 - 19:31

    OP here, I never got ANY mail or phone call. They altered my order by telling me today that they've charged my credit card an X amount (so no, I never got the revised list of what they charged me for). On top of that, I never received my items today despite being one of the first people in on the deal.

    I'm assuming that by removing such items (one again, without my permission), I'm now ineligible for the bonus iCubic Speaker System. Now that really pisses me off as it doesn't even give me a chance to alter my order.

    What they did was a betrayal of consumer confidence (you can't just alter someone's order and charge them for whatever you want), and borderlines fraud. Sent them an e-mail just then… they better damn well explain their actions.

    • lbft on 21/04/2011 - 01:28

      You did the wrong thing (ordered two when they said one per customer) and now you're chucking a wobbly because they caught you?

      • McMerc on 21/04/2011 - 01:32
        +1

        The point here is that the customer should be given the opportunity to amend the order like others in the threads above……

      • ur2dads on 21/04/2011 - 12:20

        Nice of you to drop by and criticise, ibft. I'll explain my actions then; being OP, I quickly got posted it up on OzBargain before I even ordered (I later ordered a few minutes later), and it was only when Sparky13 said it was '1 per deal' that I saw it (before amending my original post). I later joked it as

        I bought 2 lol. Hoping they just go 'ah whatever, it's ozbargain' and let it go.

        Now the question that looms here is that do you think it's appropriate that a company uses your credit card and charge you for whatever they want? No, I don't think so either, as it borderlines fraud (unfortunately they just fall short here, as the credit card details was passed onto them voluntarily for that phantom purchase). And it damn well doesn't help when they don't allow me to amend my order (I bought 5 realms of stupid only to make up the 69 dollars, and now I'm assuming it's in my revised order) and being late for delivery that should of come YESTERDAY doesn't help my mood either.

        Update 12.30 PM, just got my order. No biscuits either. Now it's just personal. :(

    • McMerc on 21/04/2011 - 01:29

      I haven't received my hdds and paper yet either. No emails, no calls and the website won't show orders placed. I purchased hdds early too when no limits were set. If they alter my order or other similar shenanigans, they can expect some s55 Trade Practices Act 1974 action coming their way.

    I know this Verbatim deal has been mentioned a few times already. Can't remember which one I read first, so thanks for the tip to all of the posters.

    I didn't really read the details and I went ahead and ordered pretty much the HDD, paper deal, free shipping with the free iPod clock.

    Hopefully everything works out - there's free biscuits?? - and the OP's order gets sorted out too.

  • ur2dads on 01/05/2011 - 15:30

    Not really, they posted the HDD and the paper to my place and gave me free delivery (so 29 + 10 bucks worth of paper). After calling them, they finally agreed to let me make another order for around 30 dollars or so, and get the free ipod speaker.

    No apology or an admission of a mistake on their end (despite me apologising many times for my original oversight), but at least the staff member (paul) was a good bloke, and I didn't want to press him and be a prick :(

  • A Banana4scale on 11/05/2011 - 02:13

    anyone wanting to get this deal in other states, I am willing to ship to you guys for no profit at all. But given it is only one person per HDD, just one person will get it. This means cost of (items + delivery) + delivery to your place via your chosen courier service. Still will be cheaper than staticice :)

    Has anyone had a problem with their hard drive showing "USB device not regonised" in Windows? A friend of mine keeps getting this error (we tried a couple of PC's). My hard drive has no problem in either PC.

    His hard drive borked it after only 2 weeks…time to get a refund from Staples. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.

    • ihfree on 20/05/2011 - 10:24

      Got same problem.

      Used the hard drive to transfer 40gb, Next day turned on PC, and windows wouldn't recognize it. Same error on 3 different PC's with different USB cables.
