Bose Soundlink Mini II Special Edition (Luxe Silver) $101.97 Delivered @ Bose Australia (Hack Required)

6101
HOLIDAY15SPEAKER20

Black out of stock

I know this post has been flying around last 2 days.

Some of you have issue with over-charged $157 instead of $143. I'm struggling with it either. I bought one and they charged me $157 (but I already make a claim through Paypal)

Today I try again with Code SPEAKER20, but i don't know what it does. Price now even goes down to $101.97.

Please note: voucher codes are case sensitive.

Method 1

What I did. I install Honey add-on into Chrome, when adding speaker to cart and use Honey, It drops down to $101.97 by itself. Wondering if this is price error. Pay with PayPal.

Here is my proof

Method 2

Open two tabs to the deal. In tab 1, click Buy Now to add product and go to cart. Switch to tab 2 and go to cart. Enter coupon code HOLIDAY15 and apply. Switch back to tab 1, enter coupon code SPEAKER20 and apply. Proceed to checkout and pay with PayPal. (Thanks to OO.)

Happy Hunting everyone

        Bose called me to do new order after I live chat to them after hearing they're honoring the initial price. I cancelled my order yesterday because they weren't going to honor the price i was expected to pay

  • +11

    Got a call. They're honouring all orders for $101. Any charge over that will be refunded. All sales will be shipped out by Monday at latest so everyone gets theirs by Christmas.

    I asked how many sales they made with the two codes and he said more than 1,000.

    • So 1 in 15 clickthroughs resulted in a sale. Not bad.

      • yeah, they said 'just over 1,000. Which I thought is fairly interesting. the plus votes are over half of the total amount. interesting.

    • That I rkn is a huge call. Despite an obvious error on their part they are willing to still sell 1000units. That's what $50 x 1000 of revenue lost?
      Kudos to them if all this goes through. That's a lot of up votes we should give them

      • +2

        How is it lost revenue? I wouldn’t have purchased for more than $101 like most, and their markup is huge. I’m sure they’re in front on this still.

      • these things cost like $20 to make, but when you slap on the BOSE branding, it becomes $300 RRP. they're most definitely still making profit from the $101 sales.

        • But then you have to also factor in the R&D cost to make the product.

          • @kml22: @kml22 that’s assuming they engineered it and didn’t just buy it off some factory in China and put a Bose logo on it.

            • +2

              @StonedWizard: Of course, Bose engineered it, and get China factory to make them, which result in China stealing their technology.

    Hi Guys

    I bought this deal thanks to the original post and was charged initially $143.96 by my papal account however it changed in a day to $159.95. This is quite shocking as it just shows the merchant can change the original authorized pricing by themselves without approval from the original cardholder. Anyways I have raised this issue with my Bank (Commonwealth Bank) and they have assured me they will dispute this transaction and fight for me to make sure I'm not charged more than the original amount which I authorized while paying. I just wanted to advise anyone who has gone through with a similar situation to report to their respected banks asap as Paypal won't do anything but your bank can dispute it and fight for you.

    Thanks

  • just got the email confirm they honor it

  • +5

    Just got this email from BOSE

    Dear XXXXXX,

    Please contact Bose Support by December 31st - we will process and ship it immediately once we hear from you.

      same

      • Got it too. At the very least, expect long wait times for support tomorrow.

        Also, did they just use the term 'headphones' for everyone regardless of what was purchased?

        • Yes they did.

        • gonna try to ring them at 8am sharp tomorrow.. I wonder why the transaction disappeared off my paypal account.

    • Same.

    • I also got it. Will review comments after east coasters have their go at it. Still disputing the 159.95 taken instead of the 143.96 on the earlier offer.

    • I got the same email too. But it starts with Dear . with no name.
      Will try to give them a call tomorrow and provide them with a debit card just to be safe.

    • Same

    • Sounds like a scam? does the email look legit?

      • It says to contact Bose Support and provides a link, which goes directly to the official Bose support page. Was definitely skeptical at first but happy to call today and get it honored!

  • +1

    I reckon they're doing this to try to minimise their losses - e.g. some people won't bother, some people might have changed their minds etc.

    Pretty smart if you ask me.

    • +1

      I think you might be right. I'll contact them tmr

  • Got the email, still have 2 successful charges on my PayPal/credit card that are no longer authorisations.

    I would hate to work for Bose tomorrow. What a sh#t way to spend your Friday at work haha.

    • mine disappeared off both paypal and credit card.

      • Bose 300 speaker did that. Soundlink and Soundsport both still there.

        • there's no consistency it seems. i ordered 2x soundlink and the one-line charge disappeared, and while it was pending, it was for the right amount.

  • Anyone’s PayPal still pending? No honour email from Bose either. I do have an order confirmation email that I got on the day of purchase.

    • Still pending, no email for me

    • same here. still showing $101.97 pending on my bank. Still showing on Paypal

  • +1

    im happy with bose solution. best was bunnings

    • I want to say "I am happy" but until I get my items, I can't say that. Every day, the management keeps changing their response

  • +1

    Ordered 300, got the "cancelled in error" email. I need to check properly that it's not a phishing email!!

    • Interesting to see if they are going to honour all sales and not just the $101 sales for SoundLink. I cancelled my two 300 orders today because this was getting out of hand but if they're planning on honouring the prices for all products then I might see if they'll process it again

      • +1

        Who knows how Bose think. So now they are honouring the $101 sales but was not willing to refund $16 for the $143 ones and have not even communicated to those people. They need to get their act together. There seems to be issues as well with the refurbished soundsport even after they agree to honour it.

        Hope they will honour the 300 you ordered and all the other orders people have placed.

  • +1

    I wasn’t hoping that they will honour the price but apparently they have. Just received an invoice (not order confirmation) from Bose and the total amount is 101.97. Hopefully it will get shipped soon.

    • Did you contact them at all?

      • +1

        No, I didn’t contact them at all.

    • I did to, great buy

  • +2

    My authorisation turned into purchase in PayPal at 101.97. But no invoice atm.

    • +2

      +1. Correct amount taken out. No invoice.

      • I have recevied invoice this morning at $101.97 along with email for another order

    • Same here, I think the invoice will come once they shipped the item.

  • +1

    My authorisation has also turned into a payment this morning but no invoice as yet. Looks like they are honouring this deal. Fingers crossed.

  • +1

    They're are honoring $101.97. Spoke to them briefly whilst processing my Soundsport free wireless earphones.

    The guy said "order completed" meaning money taken out (not pre-auth) and order has been forwarded to logistics to ship out.

    ETA early next week for shipping to arrive before Christmas.

  • +4

    Sorry to keeping you holding.

    Your call is EXTREMELY important to us.

    One of our staff will be with you as soon as possible.

    Zz

    • We called at probably the same time but I just hung up as I noticed PayPal went from authorisation to purchase.

    • +2

      My call got cancelled after waiting for 37 mins for an adviser. Wtf

      • I think it might be ok

  • +2

    Received an invoice at 2am and the price was correct ($101.97). Payment was taken also.

    Chances are looking good!

  • paypal pending turned to charged now…
    now, not sure whether I really want it

  • Called them and they just told me everything is fine and I don't need to provide another form of payment.

  • Mine is arriving today via startrack. The $101.97 one.

  • I've received an invoice this morning for the correct price, but the pending transaction has gone from my credit card. That's for the legitimate order I made on Sunday.
    The hacked one from this deal is still sitting on pending.
    I'm very confused.

    • …and now I have a shipped email from them. Assuming this is the Sunday one, not the mid-week one.

  • +1

    Did anyone else receive this email?

    "Thank you for your recent Bose.com.au order. Unfortunately, there was an issue processing your order, and it was cancelled in error.

    • +1

      Yes, not me but it was posted elsewhere in the thread.

    • yes I did. Did you order soundlink mini or something else?

    • yes I did, but it seems no good luck on 143 deal yet.

  • Has anybody been invoiced or charges gone off pending that have NOT contacted bose?
    Just wondering if I should live chat with them as well to get things moving, or just wait.
    cheers

    • +1

      I didn't contact them and it is on board for delivery today.

      • Did you receive an invoice email prior?

    • Mine changed. No delivery notification yet though.

    • Me. Didn’t call didn’t live chat. PayPal $101 went from pending to purchase today. No invoice yet though, I suppose that will come when it ships.

  • +2

    So my pending changed to purchase, $101. Looks like they’re honouring it after all, shipping today and arrives Monday. I agree with someone above, do I want this?

    • One issue, it used the wrong payment method so I can’t see the CC transaction, is there any way to change payment method after a purchase by contacting PayPal?

    • +1

      30 day excitement guarantee, have a play with it over christmas and if you don't like it or find a use for it send it back as unexcited. I'm in the same boat as you, I rarely use BT speakers.

  • +2

    phone line taking forever

  • +1

    Received a text message from Bose stating my package will be delivered today, only received the invoice overnight.

    • Same here!
      Your parcel is on board for delivery

      Your parcel B3Xxxxxxxx from BOSE PTY LTD will be delivered before close of business today.

  • +2

    On hold for 1 hour. Said nothing was wrong, disregard the email, dispatch email going out soon. What on earth.

    • Looks like they’ve changed their mind again and fully honouring it

    • I hope I don't cop the same..56 mins on hold

      Edit: copped the same response. Delivery expected Tuesday!

    • this is the "need alternate method to paypal" email?
      I'm still on hold…

      • Yes.

        • Finally - after on hold for 1hour and 32 mins, I was informed it be delivered on 17/12.

          • @lycos: fml. 30 more minutes to go then

            • +2

              @pg88: I was told that there was no issue on the order… I don't know what's going to happen or how they are going to charge me because it's gone from Paypal

    • +1

      Do you have any pending transactions? My credit card transaction disappeared 2 days ago. Do I still need to call them? 30 mins on hold.

  • Can't find the chat bot on support page. i have loaded up in Chrome, IE and also firefox…
    might have to call them.

    • i cant find the online chat too. Phone lines are too long.
      They must be getting smashed !

      • fair enough - I"m just gonna wait a day or two. In the email it says that we have until 31 December for them to honour us. we'll be right, mate.

        • yeah in no rush. Ive already got the home 300

          • @chaz0: How does it go? I really didn't even need one but couldn't say no for $160.

          • @chaz0: damn, nice.
            how's that faring??

            I have another mini 2. Such good quality - super impressed.

          • @chaz0: My Home 300 has just been delivered yesterday too.
            I was thinking to get Sonos 1 instead - but bought Bose 300 because it's in ozbargain >.>
            Most reviews said Sonos 1 has better sound quality though…

  • I received email confirmation and my Paypal gone from authorization to purchase. However, no shipping notification dispatch or invoice whatsoever. Guess I'll just let them do the job and have faith it will come next week.

  • On hold for 1h23m and it just hung up on me :/

    • You time must be worth nothing

      • Ok 😳

      • Multitasking must be new for you

  • I hope they do this again. Got my shipping confirmation and price at $101.97 - thanks OP & Bose!

    • Did you contact them?

      • Nope, bought and left it. Got shipping details today.

        • Ok thanks. I haven't contacted them so I will just wait and see for now.

          • @Shibuya: Good luck! Yes, noticed a few other people above receiving their confirmation too
