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.

      Stranger things have happened… I think if OP had kept it to themself (as someone else has pointed out), Optus might have honoured a few.

      A couple of years ago I accidentally stumbled across a Bonds Outlet pricing error that had a number of items marked as $0. I took a punt and placed a fairly large order paying $9 for shipping since it was below the free shipping threshold. Incredibly a few weeks later the order arrived. Since a few of them items were out of stock, I got "refunded" for the missing items and ended up getting thousands worth for free. OF course that's thousands RRSP. In reality, it probably only cost bonds pennies each. I actually took some time looking around the site and only placed the one order. From memory, the error was live for a few hours, so one really could have racked up quite the collection from Bonds if they wanted. I have a strong feeling others had also stumbled across it as well since there seemed to be a number of people selling the select "sale" styles on eBay and Gumtree.

        Good guy OP, lost the opportunity to potentially get a free phone for some internet clout.

      • R3XNebular on 16/06/2019 - 20:33

        Had similar with super cheap auto. I got my items that were -$20 each item and picked up at a few super cheap and then head office caught on and cancelled. For some reason it ended up in giving me credit on my Supercheap auto account to the full amount and not what I paid so I ended up buying more free/cheap stuff lol

    Just got an email from optus apologising for the price error.

    As a compensation they are sending me a Huawei P40 pro with Hongmeng 😑

    I kindly opted for a 1c refund .

      For 1c you should be able to use the phone confidently without a case.

      So I bought 2 just in case I drop the first one.

      • highon2str on 16/06/2019 - 21:57

        Confident should not be expensive. It depends which country you learn.

      The case would cost thousands of times more than the phone.

      Just buy a few thousand phones instead.

  • Kampfer on 16/06/2019 - 23:23

    The comments here make some good bedtime reading LOL.

    I was lucky enough too saw the deal in the first 10 minutes, ordered one and received an order confirmation email. I'd say the chances of getting the phone is 0.01…

  • mckayver on 17/06/2019 - 02:15
    +3

    Let's put things into perspective. Some people ordered 100 phones and that's $123,000.

    Nobody is going to get their phones.

    • Kontiki on 17/06/2019 - 07:47
      +6

      This indeed. If everyone ordered just one, we still would't get the phones but probably would have set off less alarm bells at Optus and prrhaps someone would have got one.

      Kuddos to the OP for posting this here and ruining their own change to let one slip through the system.

    • mathew42 on 17/06/2019 - 08:15

      There is a razor slim chance that Optus cancel all orders for multiple phones and ship only to those who ordered one phone, but I doubt it.

      • daven1985 on 17/06/2019 - 09:26
        +1

        I doubt any will be honoured.

        However I would be good with what you said. I ordered 2, but did one under my name and one under my wife's using different emails so it wouldn't fall as one order of two.

  • SammyK300 on 17/06/2019 - 07:48

    As much as I hope you all get it
    I was supposed to put my used one on eBay this weekend and this would of destroyed it's value
    So I also hope none of you get it

    • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2019 - 08:14
      +1

      ..?

      So put it on eBay then? Why are you stalling?

      All you're doing is increasing (or not, since I doubt a single one will be honored) the chance of it being even less valuable by the time you put it on eBay. It sounds and awful lot like you are waiting for it to have its value "destroyed."

    • mckayver on 17/06/2019 - 09:20

      I know the feeling, similar thing happened to me a month ago with a very high end motherboard. Still haven't sold it.

      As long as we make it to COB their cancellation emails will turn into pumpkins and they'll be soul-bound to honour the sales.

    • Elderlymango on 17/06/2019 - 11:01

      I heard that at 9:15 they were legally obligated to give us the phones.

    The optus executives are having brunch, browsing through the comments on a projector screen and laughing about how we all think we are going to score a 1c phone.

    They probably invited over telstra and Vodafone execs for a good laugh

    • mathew42 on 17/06/2019 - 11:11

      I doubt they are having a good laugh. At best this is going to cost a few hundred dollars in lost productivity cancelling orders. At worst it will be many thousands and take months to resolve.

      Call centre staff are likely to be dreading the deluge of calls and steps required to sort out the mess.

      Ever worked in a Contact Centre? Errors like this will cause hours of admin and abusive phone calls/chats with angry customers thinking it is their right to receive the phone.

    • skido on 17/06/2019 - 11:11

      I don't think that's true. In the order confirmation email, it says:

      "Once the product is shipped, you can track the delivery on the StarTrack website using your order number. "

      EDIT: It seems that they only have the Razer Phone 2 and Google Home Hub listed as their outright devices online, so maybe they're trying to clear out their stock for these devices?

      • ilovefullprice on 17/06/2019 - 11:18
        -1

        Doesn’t make sense clearing stock at 1c. Clearly Optus had done some sort of pricing mistake..

        • skido on 17/06/2019 - 11:22
          +1

          Of course its a pricing error but the fact they still have it listed at RRP, being the only outright smartphone, indicates to me that they probably have a lot of stock and are wanting to sell them through a different means.

          • ilovefullprice on 17/06/2019 - 11:39

            @skido: Agreed. You’re right there’s a reason it’s still being sold.

    • ilovefullprice on 17/06/2019 - 11:13

      “Shawn” clearly doesn’t know what he is talking about as the phone is still being sold outright on the deal link albeit different price

  • Bid Sniper on 17/06/2019 - 12:40

    No email other than order confirmations (four phones) and paypal receipts.

    I worked hard for that 4c, I had to click, press autocomplete form and press pay four times. I suspect cancellations but Im so glad I didn't have to type all the details, I would of considered class action over lost wages there.

    Is not a man entitled to his 4c worth of sweat of his brow?

    • ilovefullprice on 17/06/2019 - 12:44

      I think if you approach it this way of lost wages, Optus would be happy to pay you back the 4c.

    • mathew42 on 17/06/2019 - 13:45

      I think a class action based on negligence has a more reasonable chance of success. Receiving hundreds of orders from OzBargain should be a red flag. Every retailer in Australia should be expected to check the referrer (e.g. OzBargain) and if price is significantly below recent history and override flag is not set, then place a hold on the orders.

      Harvey Norman already have scripts to welcome OzBargainers so it shouldn't be too hard :-).

  • OzBoganYeah on 17/06/2019 - 13:22

    Looks like nobody's getting a phone because you just know some people had to order multiple phones. As if buying one phone isn't enough, you need more? I missed out but I think Optus will probably just refund everyone.

    • Herbse on 17/06/2019 - 13:39

      Yes. If everyone only bought just one 1c phone, everyone would have received their $1240 phone. But people had to be greedy..

        I didn't mean to imply that people were going to get their 1c phones-I've already said before that they wouldn't be getting one. But judging from some comments, it seems that the fact that some people still think they're getting 1c phone is telling. Even if the price error was $100, some people would still buy multiple phones. But yes, a lot of people are greedy.

      Why are there so many desperately contacting Optus to confirm that its a pricing error?

      Obviously, this is a straight out pricing error case. But there are some that are less obvious, and the only chance for those to go through is for people not keep on calling up and telling the retailer that its an error.
