Not sure how long this will last, but apparently you can get a Razer Phone for 1 cent?? First post sorry if it's expired by the time I posted

Edit: Fixed to the normal price of $1248 now

Update 20/6: Price Error Confirmed (Moved to forums)

We have recently identified that due to a technical error you would have seen and ordered the Razer Phone 2 handset for $0.01 on our website. Our standard price for the Razer Phone 2 handset is $1,248 which was advertised correctly on other parts of the Optus website.
We're sorry this happened and have fixed the technical error. We have cancelled your Razer Phone 2 handset order and will be refunding your payment. Please allow up to 5 business days for this refund.
If you have any questions, you can contact us 1300 132 208 Monday to Friday between 8am and 5pm AEST.

      Not more sub-domain questions, please.

        PayPal email shows “Optus Shop ([email protected])” as the merchant, so was just wondering.

          Touch Corp is an ASX listed payment processor owned by Afterpay.

          Google search is also quite amazing.

  • cheaponos on 16/06/2019 - 09:45

    Ok thanks for clarifying.

  • c64 on 16/06/2019 - 09:48

    pretty ugly phone imo

      I agree with you. I missed out on this deal too :(

    • maktevis on 16/06/2019 - 15:45

      But its $0.01 phone.

    I am reading this on my "price error" phone purchased last year, so I can't be disappointed at missing out on this one!

      Which phone was that? Was it listed on OZB?

        some people actually managed to get these, but they had to click and collect PRONTO

        both are bargains of the century to those whoever will or got one

          It wasn't going for 1c though.

          No shop is going to honour a mobile phone for 1c especially one of this normal price.

        • yummypinacolada on 16/06/2019 - 22:15

          The difference is that these $1000 phone sold for $150 and this one for $0.01.

          Those who got the note 8 were lucky, the person who giving out the handset doesn't really know the value of the phone. Believe me cause I tried that deal as well, but I wasn't lucky as the person who handed me the phone knows the value of the phone so he tried to confirm it with his manager first.

          As for this phone there's no way they would ship a phone that is sold for $0.01

    I saw this deal 2 minutes after it was posted. I'll update you all with progress, but only an order confirmation (with no shipping information) so far.

            @Herbse: Anything you do will NOT help anyone else… except for:

            All we can do is keep silent, sit tight, pray if that's your thing and hope that 1, some, or all the of us get this deal….

            Calling Optus, even with your magical "gift of the gab" verbal skills will not help here!

      thanks for potentially ruining it for everyone
      the order was Saturday 9pm,
      and you couldnt even wait until monday

      you waited so long, a massive, 12 hours

      did you tell them that the 12 hours wait has ruined your life, and now you need therapy

        No I didn't.

        Do you think that Optus had not noticed 29000 visits?

        Do you think they they haven't noticed selling 10,000+ phones in less than a day?

        Do you think they have that many in stock?

        Do you really think that by not calling them they will not notice?

      this the same guy who claimed to buy like 5 for full price and in earlier comments said something about contacting the ACCC if they don't honour the purchase? Imagine having so much time to go bait at a discount forum, but it appears to be working seeing the downvotes and reply so I don't know who is more retarded, the original commenter or the people who got baited.

      Price errors are nothing to joke about Herbse. Optus was definitely going to cop a multi-million dollar loss until you made this post.

      I called up the head office and spoke to a manager to ask them when I will get it.

      You must have spoken to the weekend cleaner.

      She looked at the order number and immediately told me that there's been a big mistake, I agreed and said that there will be hundreds of the same order

      She must have been anticipating to find hundreds of 10c recyclable bottles only to find only a hand full.

      She said she will have to talk to their sales department immediately and ended the call abruptly

      Yes she was pissed off because the 10c bottles are her main source of income (vouchers) to use at woolworths.

      • Herbse on 16/06/2019 - 23:19

        Now that you mention it. She did keep saying she needed more Lemon Pledge.

    Optus price of $1248 for this phone is a rip off for this price in the first place. As JB Hi-Fi sells it for $899. That's just so inflated RRP.

    Consumer rights law states that buying a phone for $0.01c using swedish rounding makes it $0.00c therefore defined by the law as a "giveaway" and must be provided as a "giveaway"
    to the people by the organization selling it.

        It's a Sunday so of course nothing will be done until Monday. Plus the warehouse and office is closed on a Sunday.

        I bet tomorrow will come order cancellations when the people responsible for manual order cancellations arrive at work.

          That's true

          I bet come tomorrow will come order cancellations when the people responsible for manual order cancellations arrive at work.

          I have faith that some of the people who ordered quickly/immediately MIGHT get delivery notices. Slim chance but you never know…

      • bert-lifts on 17/06/2019 - 11:40

        That was a single transaction. Hundreds of people probably ordered this. If OP didn't post this on OZB, he may have gotten away with it.

          It could have gone the other way if OP, family and friends got a few only and Optus refuse to honour as not enough “bargaining power” from these few purchases. Perhaps what would help OP is a few 100s orders not 10000s orders
