    Welp order 5 from multiple accounts. Let's see if they honor it. Lastime I got 5 Lenovo vr and they did honor the error

    • +2

      Sounds greedy, they are more likely to cancel everyones if people doing this kind of thing.

      • haha, greedy…are you serious? This is ozbargain buddy!

      • NMah i was considerate. notice how I said using multiple accounts as to not raise suspicion? =P

        • +1

          Use a different IP address each time? Otherwise they might feel like cancelling on the annoying broden community. Surely there wasn't that many Lenovo VR around either.

          • @tin tin: well doesnt matter now i got my 5 that i ordered plus bought 3 on the spot cuz it wasnt a price error apparently…

      • I thought we had a term for this. Was it not broden ?

  • Damit. I missed it. The last time they did a price error on the windows mixed reality headsets, i paid for shipping and it was not cancelled like the others.

  • the fact they took it down so fast means good chance for those who ordered as they might honor it cuz only a small loss!

  • Dang, hopefully I get my pickup confirmation :(

  • Got sms. Picking up now boissss

  • Got pickup confirmation

    I am pretty sure its Echo DOT not Amazon Echo with Alexa. Becasue Amazon Echo with Alexa 3rd generation is due to release in JBhifi stores in november.
    its on pre oder: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/amazon-echo-with-alexa-3r…

    Good luck guys.

      • can you please post a picture or receipt ?

        • +1

          don't bother asking him
          he is just here to brag as he ordered 5 online and bought another 3 in store

      • Upload receipt or it didn't happen

        • theres been a lot of confirmations from others alrdy…

    • This is probably a price error relating to that. Hence why it's not online anymore.

  • Gone! 404 error now. Missed out :(

    • Go to your nearest store then, problem solved.

  • hmmmm car insurance - or a quick run to JB????????? hard call……

  • Thanks, OP!
    I've ordered 2, and already picked up from Macquarie Shopping Centre.

    • Can you upload receipt? I'm on my way to Macquarie centre

  • Denied in Bris, scanning as $149.

    • Must have fixed the error?

    • Which store in brisbane please ?

      • MacArthur CBD. Went straight to till but from comments below it looks like I should have asked for floor staff to scan it on their PDA.

  • I just got an email apologising and saying it was a pricing error and they will not honour the online order

    • Yep me too. Congrats to all those who grabbed one in store

    • Ditto, same email

  • Thanks OP. Got 2 from my local store in regional Victoria for $49 each (10 minutes ago). The checkout guy was unsure of the price and checked with the manager. They both thought it was a pricing error but decided to give it to me as it was scanning for $49.

  • Got the email from JB saying it was pricing error and they cannot honour the order. This is after receiving confirmation for pick up.

    • Same, just received pricing error email even though I got a message it was available for pick up.

      "We can confirm that the AMAZON ECHO 3RD GEN SMART SPEAKER (CHAR) was advertised for a short time on our website with a pricing error. In accordance with our terms and conditions, we will not be honouring this price."

  • sux living in Perth
    Just got a cancellation email

  • 404 :(

    Takes an hour to cancel my order, but 3-5 days to get my money back? Plus it seems like a lot of people's orders git honoured already - What a great experience this has been!

  • I went to the store and they told me it was the echo dot 3rd, not the larger one which is not available yet.

    the echo dot 3rd gen is $49, also seen on amazon.

    if anyone got the larger one, as per the picture, I guess they were the lucky ones.

  • Grabbed 3
    Still 1 left in Marsden Park

  • Online order got cancelled so got one in the shop

  • -1

    Wow,cancelled mine too. What a bunch of flogs. Didn't they see what Bunnings did and the love they got from the ozb crew? Anyone know if it's still scanning in store?

    • +1

      Lol ozb crew..you mean the opportunistic shoppers who flock to pricing error deals?

  • Why do they do online store to begin with when there is a price error once every few months.

    • Seems to be every couple of weeks price error. The true power of this forum is shown to identify the bargain and to max it out before cancelled.

  • +2

    Just picked one at Charlestown 😊

    • Thanks op

    • I thought i bought them all
      How many where there when you bought it?

      • There was just one display box which they could not scan. I asked the staff to check the stock and they got 1 from inside. Didnt ask how many left.

        • Yeah i bought 2, as he said that's all was in stock. That was at 9am

      • thats great, lucky one

  • Their PDA devices scan it for $49 whereas scanners show full price.
    They adjusted it as per PDA price

    Did a click and collect, then got a refund email. So I went down and collected it.

    If you did the same, go and see if you can get it.

    • For reals? Would be amazing…

    • -2

      That's technically fraud and theft if you didn't pay for it in store.

      Legally if JB were arseholes, you could face 6 months imprisonment or a nice fat fine

      • I've already paid for it and my goods were set aside. Given I've collected it, I'm sure they won't process the refund for me.

        • -2

          Well be careful. Maybe worth calling JB online and letting them know you collected the items since they may be different systems

  • Just scored two in Melton, $49 winning.. thanks op

  • Store only?

  • I've got 2 on hold at Canberra city store that i no longer want (at $49 price). PM me if interested.

    • Hi, Can I buy them?

    • I can buy It. Let me know if it is still available with you

      • change your settings to allow PM aviralc

        • try now eaglegrip

    • +1

      Tried, scanned at $149 and was told it's on pre-order and not available yet

  • Omg, so bummed I missed this.

    edit: oh you can try instore still. Might do that.

  • +1

    Just got three from Fountain Gate, scanned at $149 but the guy said it was showing up at $49 on there terminals and honoured it.

    • How did that conversation go?
