        @ATangk - unless it's sent very soon, at the minimum they'll get a heap of "late delivery" feedback for overshooting the ETA of Monday 22/7.

        Let alone the "seller communication" field…

      • Anders on 17/07/2019 - 14:00

        It'd be poor form to leave negative feedback after getting $150 off IMO, unless the shipping is significantly delayed. Who wins a competition and then complains about the prize?

        • ATangk on 17/07/2019 - 14:09

          Time is also money. 1.5 hrs passed before they had an official email response…

          • Anders on 17/07/2019 - 14:14

            @ATangk: If time is money, don't enter a timed-release competition?

            Yes, eBay stuffed up, but cogs need to turn to make sure: the email was actually a false positive, the mistake is/can be rectified, everyone top-down is on the same page and they don't stuff up the response. That takes an hour at the very least.

            • ATangk on 17/07/2019 - 14:41

              @Anders: I’m referring to time stressing about what’s happening to my money.

        • Linkwick on 17/07/2019 - 14:12

          Some people were also advised - both in the email, & also from eBay official phone support & virtual chats - to cancel the transaction & seek a refund by merchant chargeback etc. At the minimum, lots were told eBay didn't even know what was happening & would get back to them.

          Not really great "seller communication" especially from a heavily advertised, official eBay promo. Understandable why some may choose to rate less than 5* for that.

          I bought on Monday at 11am. I expect same day shipping for orders before 12pm.

          They weren't despatched on Monday and they weren't despatched yesterday either. If they were I haven't received any notification as such i.e. shipping confirmation of tracking number.

          That's too slow in my opinion - no matter the price.

            @[Deactivated]: The item never had "same day shipping" in the sale's description, so that expectaction is yours and yours alone.

            • [Deactivated] on 17/07/2019 - 14:21

              @Anders: I said that it was my expectation.

              I never mentioned they said otherwise.

          • unco on 17/07/2019 - 14:19

            @[Deactivated]: That's not how it works - you saw the estimated delivery date on the product page.
            If it passes that date, then you can say it's too slow.

            • ATangk on 17/07/2019 - 14:41

              @unco: Only if it says guaranteed… which is rarer and rarer now.

    I dont get why people rushed to get a refund rather than just waiting, clearly it was an error on their behalf. Not like you had to get a refund straight away and wouldn't get it later if there actually was an issue…

    • NixMo1 on 17/07/2019 - 16:38

      ikr. I wonder how they went cancelling the cancellation and reinstating the order? Sounds like a nightmare

    Now that there is no more confusion. Has anyone actually received a shipping confirmation?

    • skido on 17/07/2019 - 14:51

      Nope, although my live chat rep confirmed that it should be delivered by the EST - next Monday/Tuesday.

    Received shipping confirmation from AusPost. Hooray!!!

    • ironsword on 17/07/2019 - 17:02

      Same here. Ordered 10am

      • leeroyjenko on 17/07/2019 - 17:04

        Same, from the last patch at 5pm

    • Benjkmv on 17/07/2019 - 17:26

      That's good :). I am yet to receive confirmation

    • 5cooter on 17/07/2019 - 20:00

      Ditto. From Titan Gear. I think I got them at either 2pm or 3pm.

  • ironsword on 17/07/2019 - 20:27

    Unfortunately only the shipping info has been received rather than it being in transit. I was optimistically hoping to receive it on Friday but Monday or Tuesday is looking more likely.

  • teaserenn on 18/07/2019 - 00:11

    For those who were incorrectly charged $10 for postage -

    I contacted eBay via chat and explained that a $10 voucher which is valid for a month and cannot be used in conjunction with another coupon, is not the same as $10 cash.

    They have now agreed to refund me the $10.

    • Mr Simple on 18/07/2019 - 10:39

      I tried via Chat and Phone support. They didn't budge. If it didn't have a shitty 1 month expiry I wouldn't care.

      • IMadeYouReadThis on 18/07/2019 - 10:50

        yeah same, they said can't do anything…only Voucher! How disappointing!

  • SJ50 on 18/07/2019 - 10:08

    I just got mine delivered.

    It says made of Malaysia.

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 18/07/2019 - 10:51

      yep, Apple is slowing taking manufacturing to other countries so they don't have to rely on China for everything.

      • SJ50 on 18/07/2019 - 10:53

        SORRY, miss type it says Made for Malaysia.

        • IMadeYouReadThis on 18/07/2019 - 10:57

          Oh…

          • cruiseronroad on 18/07/2019 - 11:07

            @IMadeYouReadThis: Does this mean it is a grey import ? That is unfortunate but not unexpected. Should have been advertised however.

        • JadaJ on 18/07/2019 - 11:15

          No, based on the picture posted by this comment it is clearly stated that "Designed by Apple in California Made in China''.

          The left hand side is the information for the main headquarter in respective country. E.g. For Malaysia (Registered company name + address in Malaysia).

          • ATangk on 18/07/2019 - 11:19

            @JadaJ: Malaysia must have a cheaper base price or had a sale recently… I grabbed one from australiacamerasales and it was also for Malaysia… doesn’t really matter though the warranty is global.

            • graceyym on 19/07/2019 - 11:32

              @ATangk: I just checked my serial number on the Apple site and it says it cant confirm the date of purchase..

              So how am I meant to secure my warranty if its a gift?

              • ATangk on 19/07/2019 - 12:48

                @graceyym: When you try you can login and then it’ll ask for your purchase date. It’ll then have an estimated warranty date based on what you enter.

                • graceyym on 19/07/2019 - 13:41

                  @ATangk: So could I technically just wait a year and then enter in that date? Then warranty would start from that date?

                  • ATangk on 19/07/2019 - 14:33

                    @graceyym: Uhh, sure? but maybe theyll ask for a tax invoice for your purchase… Tho they dont say serial number if its not bought from Apple so YMMV

    • Mr Simple on 18/07/2019 - 11:06

      Just curious.. what hour slot did you order yours?

      • ATangk on 18/07/2019 - 11:17

        Very last 5pm slot.

      • JadaJ on 18/07/2019 - 11:18

        I have seen people that bought at different time slot saying they have already received shipping information, some have not. So it is probably being dispatched according to the state and location.

    • theguyrules on 18/07/2019 - 11:37

      Mine's showing as "Item processed in facility" so its on it's way.
      Annoyingly, Amazon pulled the "we shipped item yesterday but actually only gave it to Aus Post today" crap on an item I wanted to get before the weekend.

      Probably not. We paid $99 because the case looks good on a shelf and it was cheaper than the $129 it costs to just get a new case.

  • mapletian on 18/07/2019 - 17:08

    how come it is grey import airpod? i thought it is Aus stock as on the listing it states model number is MV7N2ZA/A, which is an Aus model…….did i miss anything here?

    • theguyrules on 18/07/2019 - 20:17

      Yeah, true, it's not actually what was ordered. But I doubt anyone will complain. The best you'd get is a refund.

    Do they send you the tax invoice for warranty purpose?

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 19/07/2019 - 08:02

  • Linkwick on 19/07/2019 - 11:10

    Got mine. :-D.

    (Some said their's may be grey imports, so I checked & looks like Aus stock (the product code etc. checks out anyway))

    • theguyrules on 19/07/2019 - 11:17

      No Malaysian on the bottom of the box?

      • graceyym on 19/07/2019 - 11:26

        Mine has Malaysian and says its made for Malaysia what the hell!? Would be nice if they mentioned that on the listing.

      • Linkwick on 19/07/2019 - 12:22

        Says Malaysia, but SKU & model #s check out with what JB & Officeworks list.

        However, I just checked on Apple's "Check Coverage" link & gave a "Purchase date not validated" error. Support from Apple fixed that, but may take up to 24hrs to push through. Then will be able to confirm has Aust support coverage etc. She was able to confirm from a June production batch, so at least it's official Apple stock, I suppose.

        • graceyym on 19/07/2019 - 13:43

          Awesome, so If I were to do the same thing and speak with Apple, would I need to provide anything to them to prove purchase? Or can I just tell them I purchased it on whatever date and they'll say yep and give me warranty from then?

          Ultimately, this is a gift so I would like to have warranty on it for the person I'm gifting it too. So they can access the warranty without having to go through my account or anything like that if that makes sense.

            +1

            @graceyym: You will sometimes need to provide a Proof Of Purchase depending on the person who serves you, however eBay receipts aren't counted as a valid PoP. My advice is to get them replaced if they get damaged before the 12 months of regular Apple warranty is up and hopefully you won't need to provide any PoP, and then you'll have a new pair with 24x months of warranty thanks to Australian Consumer Law, and a PoP for those new 'Pods.

            • graceyym on 19/07/2019 - 14:36

              @jupy: So basically, because I purchased them through an eBay promoted sale, I wont have proper proof of purchase and would have to HOPE that I get an Apple employee that doesnt ask for PoP to get them replaced?

              eBay or the seller really should have sent through a proper invoice right? (Fingers crossed theyre all good) but what if this batch of Apple Airpods are rubbish & don't work as advised? I don't want to have to rely on the possibility I may or may not get someone at apply that doesn't ask for proof of purchase for these Airpods.

              • jupy on 19/07/2019 - 14:45

                @graceyym: Yup, exactly. eBay PoP usually doesn't help with Apple repairs if the date of purchase on your invoice doesn't match the date of purchase of the actual AirPods. This is the same for anything Apple-related that is purchased from Kogan. Grey Import feels.

                If you explain the situation, Apple should hopefully help you out. Sooner rather than later in the 12 months would be best I think.

              • b3au on 19/07/2019 - 17:31

                @graceyym: I had a 'proper' invoice arrive just before 5pm via email.

            @ATangk: UPDATE: I explained the situation to the Apple Support girl, & she added a purchase date. Now showing as 12mths repairs & support, so dunno if grey import but my set is now covered at least.

            Suggest others do the same if their serial # has the same error.

            Even if you don't have an official receipt except eBay, they may be a June production batch (like mine).

            • Smigit on 20/07/2019 - 12:13

              @Linkwick: I called and they were going to apply the registration but the lady on the phone was having a system error doing so and the escalation team for those matters don't work weekend. Doing a call back Monday but the position seems to be that they'll accept it. With any luck a proper invoice will come through in the mean time.

              • Smigit on 22/07/2019 - 13:24

                @Smigit: Follow up to my own post, called back and it looks like they've put my coverage down as ending 25/07/2020, so actually get a few extra days. They don't appear in my store account but the check coverage page now has a date that wasn't there previously.

  • ozizoy on 19/07/2019 - 14:23

    I received mine today Sydney CBD. It came with a normal charging case in the box but, I thought Airpods2 is coming with wireless charging case. Am I wrong?

    • ATangk on 19/07/2019 - 14:36
      +1

      Airpods 2 with lightning case, and airpods 2 with wireless charging case are two different products. RRP is $319 for those ones, not $249 as was case for these.

      • ozizoy on 19/07/2019 - 14:51

        Thanks for the clarification. I understand Airpods2 have 2 versions one with a cable or wireless charging case.

    • JadaJ on 19/07/2019 - 14:43

      Look at the bottom of the packaging box, it should be printed MV7N2ZA/A Airpods with Charging Case. If you see that then it is the wireless charging case.

      • Linkwick on 19/07/2019 - 15:28
        +1

        Actually, the wireless charging ones have a product SKU of MRXJ2ZA/A.
        They also have a RRP of $329 (not $249, as the "normal" Airpods 2 & this deal was listed as. The normal SKU is what you listed).

          Oh oh oh, I am sorry for the misinformation! You are right, MV7N2ZA/A is the normal one, and we are getting the normal one for $99.

    After the clusterf&#k around the 'compromised' account email, happy to have my $99 AirPods in my hands before the original ETA.
