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.

Thanks,
Your Optus Team

    Merged from Optus Razer Phone Order Cancellation

    Is there any timeframe by which Optus need to cancel all the Razer phone orders before it becomes legally binding to provide the phone.
    Some one commented that they need to cancel by COB today.

    • yippy on 17/06/2019 - 18:49

      They're taking their time with cancellations so they can accrue interest with the payments.

      • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2019 - 18:54

        Freaking max 10 bucks in total, what interest is it.
        Although wonder if companies specially do that to gain interest free loan

    • DemocracyManifest on 17/06/2019 - 18:57

      I doubt anyone will get one it's clearly a price error it'll probably be finalised tomorrow COB

    • qwerty on 17/06/2019 - 19:00

      No because in contract law a webstore listing is classified as an invitation to treat and giving them money counts as an offer

      Price errors aren't legally binding. People need to stop being so entitled and expecting compensation for everything.

      probably going to hold the payment till 1st july, so they can claim a loss and reduce their tax bill.

    I think I OzBargain too much… just got an email from Toll Priority saying a shipment has been sent… I can't for the life of me remember what it could be other than the bloody Razer phone.

    Maybe I'm going mad.

      It could be spam, so be careful if you have to click to open any links or attachments.

      I received one for PayPal on a transaction I didn’t make. Checked my PayPal account and it wasn’t there. The email looks really convincing.

      • thrillho on 17/06/2019 - 21:33

        Has a tracking number which goes to their legit website.

        Can't wait for my mystery package!

        • thrillho on 17/06/2019 - 21:40

          Interesting development: According to some Yes Crowd forums, Optus has a warehouse at Yennora where my mystery package originated… the plot thickens.

      You got your order number in the confirmation email and the Optus branded Startrack link, you know it's not the phone.

      Stop trolling.

      I also just got a text message from toll. I also have no idea what I bought other than the razer phone. No word of a lie.
      The text message didn't come with a link.. But it came with a tracking number. So I copied the tracking number and posted it into the toll website. Apparently my package is coming from Bankstown. FYI, I am definitely not trolling about this.

      I hope it's not a bloody cheque for 0.01c..it will be too embarrassing to take to the bank. Lol

          Mine is also the same size/weight. But the weird thing is, I got an email in my other email account.. I didn't sign up for the phone through the email account the toll notification came to.

    This is their CEO said once: “The customer is why we exist. If you make customers unhappy, you will be sacked," Mr Lew told employees, according to a staff member at the meeting.

    I think all of orders will be honoured as Optus wants customers to be happy! They do not want OZBers upset of such “tiny” error.

    Went to put a Razer phone in my cart to see if I clicked through any applicable T's and C's whilst purchasing, they seem to have removed the ability to pay with card, only Afterpay and PayPal are listed.

    • g2420hd on 18/06/2019 - 01:15

      I usually don't condone it, but probably wise to use afterpay on such a large purchase.

    • Spun on 18/06/2019 - 05:21
      +3

      They can't "claw back" any money, but they are perfectly within their legal rights to cancel the sale and refund you the price you paid.

      The listing of the phone was an "offer to treat".
      You purchasing the phone and paying 1c was "acceptance" of the offer.
      The "consideration" bit, which is them supplying the goods to you, is the point where the transaction is considered legally complete and binding.

      That last bit is the thing that will work in their favour.

      I understand your excitement at getting a free phone, but don't kid yourself. The only chance anyone has of receiving this is if Optus mistakenly send some units out among the confusion. It has happenef before, but the chances are very slim.

      • hollykryten on 18/06/2019 - 10:34
        +2

        Yep that's true. I shake my head at those people who think that when they've made the order that they've "got it". It was only an offer to treat which is non legally binding and the order can be cancelled at any time. The only time you get it is when it's either being delivered to you or you've picked it up from the store.

    The fact that they're taking so long to respond to this is a clear indication that they are working hard to fulfill the orders.

    • hollykryten on 18/06/2019 - 11:11

      That's no clear indication. I would say that they are waiting for instructions from higher up in headquarters before going ahead with order cancellations. I would not be thinking that you will be getting this.

    • Kontiki on 18/06/2019 - 13:45

      They likely have thousands of orders, it would take a day at least to sort and filter the orders.

    Guys to be honest, If they cancelled it, they’d have done it by now. I think they’re getting some legal advice or something for the best interest of the company. I’m not saying they won’t cancel the orders but there is something going on..
    seriously isn’t there anyone here who works for Optus? Or anyone really contacted them? I don’t wanna, cause I don’t wanna jinx it 😂
