      Hmm, if HP was overwhelmed by incoming orders for this product I would guess that it takes at least 4 weeks to get additional stock from Asia. My bet is on mid/end of August.

  • EarthMan on 20/07/2011 - 11:56

    If cworld gets delivery end of this month so would we and not mid August as mentioned earlier. Although I don't have a great need for this product I will NOT cancel it, c'mon HP get your act together.

  • Davo-CC on 20/07/2011 - 13:18

    HP have been disgraceful and dishonest with me - I am glad they cancelled my orders without notice; I bought instead from PCSol.com.au for $232.03 per unit with eta of 1 Aug. Look at:

    http://www.pcsol.com.au/Prods/Hp-633724-011.asp

    Not sure if they have any left available but it may be worth asking.

    • UFO on 25/07/2011 - 14:46

      disgraceful and dishonest?
      and since they cancelled your orders (ie sounds like you ordered way more than 1 since you are quoting unit prices), you dont think they maybe cancelled them because you multiple ordered on a promo you werent entitled to in the first place? i think maybe someone else was being dishonest first.

      i'm not trying to offend you, but you are making pretty big claims against the company considering.

      • the discombobulated… on 25/07/2011 - 14:54

        "disgraceful and dishonest?" Harsh but not all together inaccurate considering the sheer number of reasons given for cancelling. Even if they had failed to restrict the coupon appropriately, they could've just sent out an apology email with an explanation that the coupon was restricted (if that's the actual reason, considering they ARE shipping the damned things to the people left). If they were really nice they could've tossed in a 10% coupon or something in with the apology. Least Zavvi did and they had a pricing error of equal, if not greater, magnitude and whilst some were still bitching and whining the reasonable amonst us (at least as far as I believe) delt with it and were satisfied.

        Also it was not dishonest (IMO) for anyone to use the promo. If it actually was restricted, no one knew and, honestly, no one really knows now.

        • UFO on 26/07/2011 - 11:33

          point taken, their communication thus far has been dismal. but even I knew when using "tech at work" promo that this 'really' wasn't for aimed at me… it's obvious that this was supposed to be an offer for techies that have been given the code directly. yes, no where in the order process did it say "only for techies", but you got to admit that when ordering you were crossing fingers in the hopes this wouldnt be rejected ;).

          at the end of the day, HP have been caught out… and now they are going to drag their feet as long as possible hoping most of us cancel orders due to the delay. now that's poor form, but again nothing dishonest about it. it's poor business practice that's going to lose them goodwill (that they spend millions in advertising every year trying to get), but not dishonest per say.

      • Davo-CC on 27/07/2011 - 13:32

        UFO - This relates to the way that they dealt with me when calling their call centre; constant promises of people calling you back (who never ever do), made up answers, people laughing at me on the phone, the whole shooting match. I was told the only person in the world who could help me was some guy named "Arthur" who was never there and despite repeated promises that they would "call me back" nothing came of it - no correspondence, no answers, 2 hour waits on hold, transfers to nowhere… As for the volume I only ordered two for myself and a few for friends at work (we purchased together). They just charged my card and waited for the tentative charge to expire; I used to purchase several million dollars of HP gear a year and I can tell you that HP have fallen further than I could ever have imagined now. Were they seriously trying to restrict the use of the promotional code they should at least publish a condition of use on the site during the order; no such mention came up.

    • Davo-CC on 27/07/2011 - 13:24

      wow a big surprise today - PCSol most recently quoted me ETA of 10th of August and then bingo, all the servers I ordered turned up out of the blue! Wasn't expecting them nearly that quickly. Not as cheap as the HP deal but they came more quickly (and of course didn't cancel on me!).

  • skyva on 20/07/2011 - 14:08

    I wish all of you the best luck with getting one from a 3rd party supplier, but to me it seems that if HP are saying there will be delays, then the 3rd parties will have the same problems.
    The question is, who will HP prioritise, their direct end users or their resellers?

    • the discombobulated… on 20/07/2011 - 14:29

      At this price? Resellers. They're probably having a right whinge about being savagely undercut.

      • UFO on 20/07/2011 - 15:58

        definitely resellers, support the people that buy most of your product.

        that's why they are already saying "end july/early august" but direct customers have a "mid august" expected date.

        still waiting for this news directly from HP though. slack asses.

    Just recieved the following email.

    Dear Valued Customer,

  • leighzac on 21/07/2011 - 12:26

    I just called HP as I have heard nothing since receiving the first order confirmation email on the 13th July. They/he told me that the order (1unit)had been cancelled and that I "should" have been informed by email. There hasn't been a Credit Card refund to this point also. He will "fix" it today. So no product even though I thought I was OK, (They also asked if I was an employee or relation of an employee)

    Communication fail HP.

    • Chris McMahon on 21/07/2011 - 12:34

      They also asked if I was an employee or relation of an employee

      If you go back far enough, everyone is a relation of an employee. They have 324,600 employees (2010).

          oh thats gold.

          Probably better to say its a same sex relationship with a call centre manager at HP.

  • ozblogger on 21/07/2011 - 12:58

    I'm pretty sure we'll get it in similar time-frame as the resellers .. 1st week of Aug hopefully
    It does feel like they never intended to make any more, but given the price … so many have been ordered , and they probably don't mind making a "last batch" !

  • skyva on 21/07/2011 - 13:03

    My email states:
    We hope to hear from you with your decision based on the above

    I think that means you need to reply that you wish to keep your order.

    • binscab on 21/07/2011 - 13:14

      Yeah… I just sent them a reply, hopefully I won't get the family questions like Chris.

    • UFO on 21/07/2011 - 14:14

      Edited: didnt see that someone else already posted email above, sorry.

  • timhn on 21/07/2011 - 14:52

    I guess HP trying to do damage control after got a bit of complaints from WP, OCAU and OZBargain. I would expect better coming from a big name like HP. Over a week long to send out one email about delay of shipment while they already charged the CC.

    Many small e-retailers from China would have better communication and inventory control than HP! Most of them would only charge your CC just before they ship to you - or when they know that they can quickly fullfill the order within couple days.

  • Black Hole on 21/07/2011 - 15:06

    My order of 1 unit from them got cancelled and was glad for this as I will not be dealing with them in the future and avoid HP as much as I can. I prefer Dell.

    • EarthMan on 22/07/2011 - 08:42

      Mate, Dell has done worst in the past. Twice I a fantastic deal off their website to have it cancelled later because their price was wrong. At least they didn't charge my credit card before cancelling my order.

      • Black Hole on 22/07/2011 - 09:49

        Yes, it was because the price was wrong but on this occasion it was not.

  • waladare on 21/07/2011 - 15:27

    I rang them and they were apologetic about the delay….worth the wait I reckon, the guy said you need not ring them to confirm the order, unless you wanted to cancel.

    • stumo on 21/07/2011 - 17:11
      +1

      Yeah total comms fail from HP. That letter contradicts itself…

      We can assure you, however, that if your order remains in force we will expedite the delivery to you as soon as we have received the item(s).

      That part makes sense, but then at the end it says…

      We hope to hear from you with your decision based on the above.

      So they hope to hear from us that we want to cancel. ie. They actually want us to cancel.

      Weird letter man. Seems you just can't get the staff these days.

        Agreed, as a tip, don't use "therein" unless you are a lawyer or know how to use it. Smacks of trying too hard.

    • Tenebrae on 21/07/2011 - 21:45

      They were definitely NOT apologetic when I called earlier this week. I asked them to explain why they didn't call me as soon as they found out they wouldn't be able to meet their originally stated delivery window, and got a healthy serving of bulls—t.

      • the discombobulated… on 21/07/2011 - 22:13

        Similar experience. They even said it was probably cancelled cos my email address looks funny and the tone of voice used was… less than neutral.

        All up, complete customer service failure imo.

        I still have not heard from anyone who got a delivery email or the item delivered, so that meant HP never had any intention of delivery as they had no stock on hand. ACCC?

          +1

          As I guess I would say they have some but nowhere near enough, and fear of doing something wrong has paralysed some middle management them from doing anything at all. Basically, if you send out the ones you have, people will know (e.g via here, OCAU etc) then every other person/reseller will bitch and moan even more loudly about where is mine, I am more important, I ordered first etc.
          No doubt someone in management is trying to work out how doing a positive thing, in selling a bargain, became a PR nightmare.

        • skyva on 22/07/2011 - 21:31

          I heard from ocau that an employee ordered one on 8th July, sent 19th but not arrived yet.
          Sounds like they build to order and don't carry much stock.
          Anyone know where these are built? The 5th graders there are probably being kept late to finish our orders. Small hands are good for those little cases;)

  • timhn on 22/07/2011 - 14:47

    Just found from OCAU that few people just got their orders cancelled due to reasons like "financial issues" (whatever that is) or "offer expired".

    http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=968483&pa…

    Apparently, when someone rang back and question the reason to the sales manager, even the manager wasn't sure why the order got cancelled!! He got the order reinstated after that.

    Watch your order state, folks. HP really in the bloody mess wih this tech@work promo.

  • the discombobulated… on 22/07/2011 - 17:54

    In case anyone is wondering…

    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/sm/WF05a15351-15351-423…
    http://h41112.www4.hp.com/promo/proliantmicroserver/index.ht…

    So in the UK the RRP is GBP209 ex VAT with a GBP100 cashback offer.

    In AUD this makes it… AUD163.74 or AUD180.12 inc GST.

    Add delivery.

    So basically $200, including delivery is prettymuch a price where HP can
    still profit.

    I do wonder if there's a bullet-hole free foot at HP left over this.

  • Tenebrae on 23/07/2011 - 20:49

    This bargain would never have become the PR nightmare it has if they'd only done what any sensible retailer does when they can't meet unexpectedly high demand: inform the customer. If you put out a great price and 300% more people than expected make use of it, you send out an email thanking all your customers for their response and "due to overwhelming demand we have to push back our expected delivery date by two weeks, we'll keep you informed as things progress. Thanks for choosing HP" etc.

    It was when they realised that they couldn't fulfil the orders and chose NOT to inform their customers that this awesome deal went down the creek.

    • UFO on 26/07/2011 - 11:35

      and they'll keep delaying until more people cancel out of frustration.
      but for $200, i still cant buy anything better… so I'll keep waiting until that happens. when another deal pops up that's better, I'll cancel. then hopefully HP will be stuck high and dry with all these units they wont be able to shift.

  • hellrazorone on 26/07/2011 - 16:06

    I'll keep waiting hopefully 3TB Hitachi's drop from the current "bend over Australians" pricing US$119, AU$189 (or $169 with OCAU special). Although charging my credit card in full anywhere up to 3 months prior to delivery (it wasn't marked as a pre-order or limited stock item) is a bit of a joke. If HP can't deliver til Sept they should refund the charge and actually process it when (or if) the items come in stock.

  • motlking on 26/07/2011 - 16:49

    does HP use AAE couriers? I just missed a package from them but can't think of what else it might be (SGS2 from SS? lol doubtful)…

    • stumo on 26/07/2011 - 17:08

      Nah, I've only ever seen HP Store stuff arrive exclusively via startrack express, here in VIC at least.

        thanks stumo, I guess it is some other surprise then!

  • netsurfer on 26/07/2011 - 17:09

    Most orders will be delayed till September (mid September maybe). The additional cause of the delay is parts shortage. Apprently, HP will be notify people (dunno when) via e-mail once there is another update about a revised update (or delay to be honest).

    Really considering cancelling the order.

    • motlking on 26/07/2011 - 17:26

      BS if true! How come Computer World and others can access new stock then? Will likely cancel my order if this turns out true.

      • netsurfer on 26/07/2011 - 21:31

        Because:
        - They probably ordered before the OZB rush.
        - HP will look after the resellers first (big customer / returning customer). HP know we OZBers are just in for the discount. Big order -> better treatment.

        • netsurfer on 26/07/2011 - 21:45

          Does it really matter? Most of us won't get ours until September (assuming HP don't delay it again).

          What worries me is that HP have no idea when their OEM factories can start building them -> which means the ETA for most of us is a guess, not even a scheduled date.

    Received mine from CWorld this morning. HP need to learn from these guys.

    Makes me think that, what might have happened is that HP gave several resellers a good price, maybe $170-$200, and "guaranteed" not to undercut them. HP probably forgot about a "small" promotion they had running whereby employees and others associated with HP could get it cheap as well. After the promotion was Ozbargained, the resellers probably vented their fury at HP about holding stock that their supplier was undercutting. HP's respone has been to try to get people to shift to the resellers by misinformation and delay of shipping until the resellers have shifted their stock. That is why they are telling people it will be delayed, and telling customers to cancel.
    This is not an uncommon problem between resellers and manufacturers who have their own distribution channels.

    In my view there are no stock problems, as these are being actively sold in other countries like the UK, where I would guess the parts are identical even power supply. We also know these come from OS anyway.

    I am hoping HP got a large shipment, and has shipped the biggest orders to their resellers. They should now be processing their own orders to their direct customers for the remaining boxes.

      looks like HP have started shipping
      search for order SCPO313103 - shows as shipped

      but they must have a few hundred to ship, so might take a while
      mine's 500 orders later !!

      • motlking on 28/07/2011 - 13:07

        thats a good sign…mine is in the SCP03132xx range so hopefully they ship soon!

      • pogiguy on 02/08/2011 - 08:58

        Yep that's my order. Received it this morning!

  • nathand on 28/07/2011 - 15:04

    I haven't been following this and I go and check my order status and it was cancelled. I didn't ask for it to be cancelled. Was I supposed to respond to some email that never came?

    Crap HP, crap.

    • motlking on 28/07/2011 - 15:11

      No, HP cancelled a bunch of orders before that…

      • nathand on 28/07/2011 - 15:21

        That's stupid, oh well, probably good in a way. Didn't need one just wanted to dabble a bit.

    On hold with HP for 15 minutes now, pretty lame!

    Edit: 30 minutes, worst part is they keep telling you that nobody can take the call and you can leave a voice mail message, yes I know that HP you've told me over 50 times now..

    Edit: 42 minutes and I caved in.

    • seboya on 29/07/2011 - 11:59

      I found calling in the morning made it easier to get through; also selecting option 1 rather than 2.

  • thermos on 28/07/2011 - 20:11

    Delivery was attempted yesterday and a card was left. Collected from depot this afternoon (a single box)

    • motlking on 28/07/2011 - 20:25

      What was your order number?

  • Manesman on 28/07/2011 - 23:51

    The shipping by order number seems to be very strange.

    SCPO313195 is at the Admin stage.
    SCPO313198 has been shipped, and
    SCPO313197 has been delivered!!!
    SCPO313199 is at Admin again.

    Very odd.

    • stumo on 29/07/2011 - 09:04

      So that pretty much confirms order sequence has nothing to do with it.

      Mine is well over 50 orders prior to any of those, and still in admin. Wtf are they playing at?

    • kumak on 29/07/2011 - 09:07

      Do you think they send it by location?

      • Manesman on 29/07/2011 - 14:35

        The two delivered orders that I've seen have both been to WA out of Singapore.

        However, I'm in Perth and I'm still in 'Admin'.

  • uccoffee on 29/07/2011 - 11:05

    why is SCPO313197 shipped before SCPO313104, some buyer must have piority :(
    mine is SCPO3136XX :(

    • rand0m on 29/07/2011 - 13:56

      I might be way off the mark but there is a chance that some of the orders that have been given priority could be legitimate HP customers/employees that were originally given the Tech@Work code. HP could be doing a cross-check with a list of contacts they know are legitimate customers…

      My 2c.

      Meanwhile, mine is still in Admin status :(

  • UFO on 29/07/2011 - 11:08

    im in the 200's and still sitting at "admin" stage :(. fingers crossed i'm getting mine soon.

    Its a bit pathetic that my 3tb hdd's ordered from B&H USA yesterday are already shipped and will arrive next week before any update from HP.

    HP Communication fail

  • Redmo0n on 29/07/2011 - 17:27

    Just rang HP and they told me my order should arrive IN THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER!

    WTF HP!!!

    • EarthMan on 29/07/2011 - 21:15

      Hey that's $1.58 of lost interest for 2 months on my $200 otherwise investment :)

    • UFO on 30/07/2011 - 11:59

      well… this unit came out late 2010, and everyone knows how fast computer technology moves. if HP really are going to delay 2 months until delivery, that just leaves me more time to see if a better deal comes along. what's the bet a better deal for a home server is posted here within the next month (ie non HP)? then HP will be stuck holding all these units that they will then have to resell at $150-$170.

      I'll keep my order open for the time being, i have nothing to lose. I'm actually hoping a better deal comes along so i get the satisfaction of cancelling this one :). Poor HP.
