UPDATE: Many users are reporting cancelled orders due to a pricing error

Amazon have now started emailing to advise of the cancellation and are giving $30 vouchers per order. You can check your coupons here. For the record my order of 3 was cancelled and I received the $30 gift voucher too. The drives would have been great but I'm also pretty happy with this compensation. Congratulations to anyone who gets their order delivered.

Insane price for the 10TB WD My Book external hard drive. Limit to 3 per customer, and remember to use cashback. I grabbed 3 for $389.52 + Free Delivery with Prime.

Features

Auto backup with included WD Backup software and Time Machine compatibility
Password protection with hardware encryption
Trusted storage built with WD reliability
USB 3.0 port; USB 2.0 compatible
3-year manufacturer's limited warranty

            @TomGum: not terribly hopeful, reddit was flooded with posts about the price too but if I get the two I ordered I'll be set for a good while!

  • Topazzar on 20/05/2019 - 17:31

    Damn, I thought getting one the other day from eBay for $310 was a good deal. Most places were advertising at $439

        Phone got him $20. Online / automated process is $10 (see comments below). So, a phone call for extra $10 is something a dedicated OZBer could do.

      EDIT:

      Don't know why I am being downvoted, as far as the guy on the phone told me they've already started cancelling ppl's orders. You might be better off by giving them a call and get $20 rather than $10 or nothing

  • bargrin on 20/05/2019 - 18:14

    Just got told its a pricing error and orders are to be cancelled.

    Been offered a $10 credit for the mistake per the below:

    I've reviewed the order details and see that the lower price listed on our website was due to an error and this was rectified. As this is due to an error, all the orders placed were kept on hold and will be cancelled in a short time.

    Amazon and our Sellers are committed to offering our customers a wide selection of quality products at competitive prices. Our team regularly monitors the product offerings to identify and resolve pricing errors and other pricing issues. I'm sorry this isn't the case and we regret for the inconvenience caused due to this.

    As a token of apology, I've issued a $10 promotional certificate to your Amazon.com.au account, which will automatically apply the next time you order an eligible item sold and shipped by Amazon AU. The promotional certificate doesn't apply to items offered by other sellers on the Amazon.com.au website and won't cover the purchase of gift wrap or additional shipping costs.

    Your promotional balance doesn't appear in Your Account, but will always display at checkout when you place an order through the Shopping Cart for an eligible item shipped and sold by Amazon AU.

        No, i was asking about updating my order but they cancelled it this morning. When i asked why they emailed me the above.

        Was probably 2 hours after it being posted on Ozb

      While Amazon is huge I think they might've noticed this small uptick in sales regardless of being contacted by a few of us. For the record I haven't been charged and my order is waiting for dispatch.

    • SBOB on 20/05/2019 - 19:00
      +8

      Largest online retailer in the world, with a sale that was on forums worldwide, that would have been a massive volume spike on the product code, and you think they need a couple of phone calls to alert them?

      Pretty confident their back end tech is a little more high end than that…

      • Smigit on 20/05/2019 - 22:27

        Indeed. Massive spikes are almost certainly something they are monitoring for both for errors but also to keep up with trends as rapidly as they can.

        They may or may not go and start cancelling orders, but I doubt the contacting of Amazon will have any bearing on whether they do it for all persons. The only reason I’d absolutely avoid contacting support unless it was 100% necessary would be to avoid the odd support staff deciding to cancel it in spite of any mass cancelation. Looks like a lot of people are getting shipment notices while on the same token people contacting support to modify the order drew cancelations. Given the items out of stock and/or 4x the price I wouldn’t draw attention or ask for changes that might see an individual order cancelled.

        • netsurfer on 20/05/2019 - 23:08

          Agreed. It's pretty much up to Amazon.

          However, one of the cancellation reported was because the OZBer wanted the address changed. I actually contacted Amazon CSR to change my order yesterday (while the deal was still available), even a minor change on address line 1 was not possible. The only way was to cancel and re-order (so the CSR cancelled it and I re-ordered). Obviously, anyone contacted them today and wanted to change the address, CSR can only offer cancellation.

          I am hoping tomorrow morning, we might get a clearer picture on what Amazon plan to do with majority of the outstanding orders.

  • woolly on 20/05/2019 - 18:28

    Mine got shipped, I can see a tracking number. I got in very early when the deal had 15 up votes

    • Optimus Prime on 20/05/2019 - 18:30

      Hope still there is .. I have been charged .. to dispatch tomorrow

      • miguellin737 on 20/05/2019 - 19:04

        the experience from the last deal, they charge it after dispatched.

    • CC123 on 20/05/2019 - 18:30

      When did you order?

    • Elijha on 20/05/2019 - 20:00

      I had a shipping notice but if you go to track it, like mine, it is likely not even collected by the courier - they have just received a manifest and assigned a tracking id to it - basically its still sitting in the Amazon loading depot…. probably being sifted out for cancellation.

      And yep my notice was at 2am this morning after ordering 5min after the post was up here.

      Yeah got the same on my order. I definitely won't mind if they end up shipping it though, only worried that the extra days gives them a window to cancel it.

  • whey4000 on 20/05/2019 - 23:16

    Have read with these WD drives that if the controller fails you won't be able to recover your data as it is encrypted.

        Got 6, so I can backup the backup of the 3 that were backed up.

      • whey4000 on 20/05/2019 - 23:40

        Yeah true maybe if this one does ship I'll backup the $230 drive I brought back in April which in turn is a backup of a number of smaller external drives I have.

    • netsurfer on 21/05/2019 - 00:19

      Generally, board or controller failure isn't as costly as mechanical failure in terms of data recovery cost. The data recovery companies have hardware and software to recovery the data.

      You can worry about data recovery after you actually received the drives. MSY sell some 3.5 inch USB 3.0 enclosures for around $25.

      • whey4000 on 21/05/2019 - 12:55

        Thanks ill look into it

    • slam on 21/05/2019 - 10:16

      I doubt these drives are encrypted. Probably running EXT4 file system, which will require some form of Linux to read them.

      Best to shuck them and format them yourselves.

    • SBOB on 21/05/2019 - 05:52

      Nope, normal.
      It's coming from the us , but it gets allocated in the fastway system when it's shipped.

      Got an 8tb order from last week that's doing that now, and only got to Sydney yesterday

      • SBOB on 21/05/2019 - 15:19

        and arrived today
        so 'delayed' on fastway is normal, its like they get the shipping notification/lodgment from amazon immediately and start a normal 'items in australia' timer, instead of having a delay until it arrives in customs
