Greetings everyone, haven't got a clue why this works but if you add 2 cartons of Wild Yak to cart on First Choice the price drops to $30 :)
Adding more than 2 seems to make all cases $15 each.
Direct link seems to be adding an error now, try and add to cart from the new link.
As always, enjoy!
No SMS. Just went into store
I just went to Glendale. No stock to fulfill. I was going to pick up some other beers. Their loss.
Didn't have high hopes but picked up at FC wollongong. Manager there referred to an email from head office, double checked it was ok to honour. Only giving them out if you got the 'ready to collect' sms, according to her email.
I went to pick up at about 9:45 and was told the order was cancelled (Redcliffe qld). It's now almost 12 and still no cancellation email. Not going to buy from these asshats again, fair enough cancel the order but how about letting me know?
Maybe they can offer you a job there to deal with the 10,000 cancellation emails/sms's
It would take all of 20 seconds to send an email to those orders saying they can't be filled. You must not be able to IT very well.
Contacted store to ask if I could come in to collect as no SMS received. Store said all of these orders are on hold so they are not sending them out .Contacted customer service - Order cancelled and refunded.
Yep I rang my local store. Didn’t even give order details she just said head office will be contacting all people that did click and collect. When pressed further as to if that means the orders aren’t being honoured she just said “I was told if anyone calls about a click and collect order they will be contacted”.
Went to collect at Waterford QLD, got denied and told I would have to wait until the Click and Collect staff contact me and organise a refund. Was the third person they'd turned away out of six who placed orders.
well, I think I placed my orders quite early on when this deal was posted,
ordered at 2 differnet stores
went to both this afternoon,
got told they've all sold out and its classifed as code RCN or something like that
so out of my 4 orders, I got zero!
oh well, at least I have my double jim beams from the other deal!
Hi,
Thank you for your recent order with us. Unfortunately, due to a technical error on our website, you were incorrectly charged for your order containing Matilda Bay Wild Yak Pacific Ale.
We have cancelled and refunded your order, please allow 2 - 3 business days for the funds to appear in your account.
We’re very sorry for the mix-up and appreciate your understanding.
Kind regards,
The Team at First Choice Liquor
just got the same
Same
Same.
Was your email appearing it was sent to Samuel Jane rather than your own email address?
Curious if that is the staff member from Probe that emailed on behalf of First Choice or if s/he is just an impacted customer.
Yep I got that with Samuel Jane as well.
Weird.
Got the same message 23 minutes ago - WA Bicton
Got this after I picked mine up (got lucky). Be pretty amusing if I get a refund too lol
Just received an email refunding my order due to a technical glitch on their website… I guess this is it then…
I received it too. I did a click and collect in NSW.
Anyways,
end of the party guys.
Good on those people who actually got it
yeah me too, ah well
was ready to bunker down :(
Thanks OP. It didn’t work for me (refunded) but worked for many.
I did for delivery and haven’t received cancellation email.
I just rocked up. Was told pricing error and I had to call head office. I told the guy as per the ACL when you take my money you now have a contract to supply at that price. They just gave me the 2 cartons. This was at Springfield.
Congrats, but
I told the guy as per the ACL when you take my money you now have a contract to supply at that price.
You know this is not correct right?
as per the ACL when you take my money you now have a contract to supply at that price
Congratulations on getting someone stupid enough to not realise their own policy protects them.
edit: oops, someone also replied
Exactly,
Thats why you dont see people buying $1m homes for $100k or even $1k because the agent/seller mistyped the price
Same with cars
You have not paid for the house yet so completely different.
I did some research and there might be some truth here with this precedent (if you received a "it's ready to collect message").
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/…
However, as aforementioned, you would need to be inconvenienced (which would be the case if you received a 'its ready to collect email etc and went down to get it) and from my interpretation, you would not be under the assumption that it's a pricing error.
At the end of the day, if they have looked after you in the past, then give them the same courtesy.
I told the guy as per the ACL when you take my money you now have a contract to supply at that price.
:/
Nice work Karen. Ask for the manager in a loud voice next time.
Please don't spout laws that you clearly don't actually understand. They gave you the beer as you're a customer that's clearly in the 'too hard' basket…not because you lawyer'd them
Congrats to those who managed to nab this deal
Yes I second that. Now bring on the next deal !!!
I hope soon, my Iron Jack cartons are nearly gone.
Anyone ordered for delivery got dispatched email?
No email for anything but I've still got my Iron Jack to drink
Has anyone been refunded ? I have no email or SMS and money has been taken from my account
see…arent price errors fun? :P
same boat, they took my money and said they "have" refunded on the weekend (read that email closely) but PayPal (how i paid) has as of yet no indication of any such refund, sigh. I might avoid these price error purchases in future…
No email nothing.
the little saving grace is that I got 30 flybuys points for all my cancelled orders !
Which will be taken away when the refund is processed.
true true
I’m in the same vote, canceled order when went to collect and haven’t been contacted by main office regarding my refund even tho I was told I would be!!
My order is still open, i get the feeling they are going to let all orders wait out for the 5 days collection thing. I think that automatically refunds your money if you don't collect it. Means the money in their account earning interest for some days? … who's the suckers now lol
You better call and ask for different case on beer if they run out. Don’t do refunds.
I ordered 2 cases for delivery and so far no email saying order cancelled
Same here
Same
Same same but different. The original email sent said the standard delivery to Syd is by 13 Mar. I’ll wait until then and see how it goes.
still no refund… raised a paypal ticket. such a fail business
…price error. do you think they give a f^&k about your refund? :D
has anyone received a refund or any indication of one even?
No refund as yet !!!
Got my refund advised by PayPal T'day
Got my refund today. No email from them though, the refunded amount appears in my bank account.
Just got one of my refunds!
how did u pay?
paypal
Still no refund as yet, the email did say 2 business days. Clearly it's past that.
yeah i have no refund either, how did you pay?
PayPal. So realistically it's a 2 second process for them to refund.
BASTARDS REFUNDED ME (QLD)
…WHAT? ….YOU DIDNT WANT YOUR MONEY BACK??? (VIC)
sounds like you will need some therapy because of experience
Ordered 2 cases on the 6th + delivery. No refund and original email with eta 13th. Paid via debit card.
Refund went in this morning 😞
No refund and no email yet.
I received 4x via delivery! Wasn't expecting that!
I ordered 2 cartons. $30 was shown on the receipt, but I just realised I was billed $60!
The the order was cancelled and I only received a $30 refund….. Had to call and apparently the 2nd overcharged refund will be in my account soon.
$30 Refunded to Paypal
Me too. Only taken a week. Unimpressed.
There were probably over 10k orders to cancel, according to the number of clicks.
It was pointed out early in the deal this may be refused as was an obvious error on their site. It was meant to be 2 6packs for $30!
We played the game, didn't win (some did) & got our money back.
Time to revoke the upvotes.
i still have no refund and nothing mentioned in paypal so you got it earlier than me, friday night and nothing here!
I placed 2 orders. 1 refund was received yesterday. I just sent a short complaint email to 1st choice, saying they should now honor it
where is the logic in that?
seems obvious to me, but hey they changed their sales style and this is just a part of that change, so whatever.
I am now an ex customer, and they probably like it that way..
so just because two refunds dont come at the same time, you are entitled to more?
very little logic in that, unless you are emphasising the inconvenience of not having 2 simultaneous refunds
@Samsungnote10: what do you mean 'you are entitled to more?'
no beer and no refund - where's the 'you are entitled to more?'
@petry: The second refund is probably on the way,
Op said that because second refund didnt come, he sent a complaint saying they should now honor it
@Samsungnote10: I'm no more entiled tham anyone else. I send a message of complaint, in case they have misplaced by refund.
@BewareOfThe Dog: well, i was one of the very early on people to order , and i ordered across two stores, and didt get any,
so im on the iron jack from the previous deal
Like me now. FC have Kilkenny for $57 a case. I can buy a 6 pack from Aldi for $15. Plus Murphy's and Guinness. A great variety. I'd rather give the germans my business, and I save on fuel given it's 20 mins each way.
Paypal refunded randomly
still no refund and i sent them an email 2 days ago.
how about now? I have nothing either from them or PayPal…
nothing yet, called on friday to complain.
Got the refund email from PayPal. Nothing from First Choice Liquor at all
liquorland?
As of today I still have no refund, I sat on hold with FCL for 34 minutes until they answered and have been told the refund will be processed by end of business today. Damn. Never have I waited so long for a refund lol.
Refund today, no email or contact at all.
So I called customer service yesterday about the lack of communication and refund.
They reactivated the order for me and I picked it up today no problem :D :D
I paid with a credit card and was not signed into an account.
Some are born Lucky !
Emailed them yesterday, 9 days after their email which said please allow 2-3 days for refund to appear in your account, no reply, still no communication anywhere, a real disgrace.
thanks, yeah i did, hopefully that kicks things along!
Refunded via Paypal. Nothing from Liquorland. Poor form.
i've still got nothing, no emails, no refund, no communication, this is after emailing them a few days ago and raising a paypal dispute a couple of days ago. Unbelievable.
Did you get any SMS? Or you have been to the store?
