How is it?
I literally bought it 5 minutes ago… but the delivery was definately free.
Ew, Kogan.
It's a no-brainer
i think they jacked the prices up for some of the items though
Bugger, just bought something on the Monday @ 10:38pm. Have emailed them. Hope they show some love.
"Bugger"
"Hope they show some love."
:O
They did. Was refunded the $16.90 shipping fee.
So it's a +ve vote for me at least.
Yeah that's because they've marked up the price which includes the shipping already.
iPad 2 16G used to be $489 now $518.
excuse me sir, but Kogan is a very trustworthy and reputable business!!!
Clearly your sarcasm was too covert.
I voted him back up cause that was dripping with sarcasm!
@Citrus
Not with the triple exclamation marks - a dead give-away.
I honestly thought it was clearly sarcasm given their history.
At least you guys figured it out eventually :P
Not saying the Ipad increase isn't true, but the Samsung Galaxy S2 was 516 and now it's 509.

My invoice from Kogan from 3 weeks ago. They definitely jacked up the price
And this is why business's keep doing it.
Customers often can't remember about prices they saw 1+ week ago.
If it wasn't for sites like these, nobody would ever figure out this trick.
Unethical practices, intelligence-insulting
Ruslan the douche .. would simply blame the exchange rate
they learned from Harvey, but the bad ways, which would ruin the brand reputation!
The white Galaxy S2 can be purchased for $509, which is the cheapest i've seen it.
This makes some of their mobiles the chapest sold in/to Australia, such as Atrix and white SGS2.
am voting this down due to the increase in prices on the iPads…
ditto, putting prices up to cover the free shipping is wrong.
I agree they should not have put up the price of the 16GB ipad2, very bad practice. But I can confirm the 32GB iPad did not change in price as I have been considering the purchase for a while. $589 is $100 cheaper than the apple store (obviously also due to GST savings… Blah blah). Good deal all the same
$20 shipping
Dodgy bargain
hmmm prices haven't changed, some prices have inflated to cover the free shipping
very poor form
Misleading and deceptive.
Not a bargain.
for shame kogan
to think i recommended your slrs to so many people.
Deceptive conduct, would be in violations of the trade practices Act.
Trade Practices Act no longer exists. Go with the Australian Consumer Law instead.
Sorry, i meant the Competition and Consumer Act
yupe, not a bargain…
Kogan's iPad 2 price hike occurred about 10 days ago.
I was eying for iPad 2 16GB for $479 + Shipping ($29) = $508.
I was hoping it would go down following the Xoom, but, it rose to $499 and then $519 in two days.
Anyway, for iPad 2 16GB Wifi, I think Kogan still offers the 2nd cheapest price ($519 delivered) after WoW ($499, pick up only).
Perhaps this is what they called their LivePrice , i.e. they expect their buyers to live with it.
Any experiences yet with the Ez-Press coffee machine? I can't believe they managed to get it to market with all the patents..
Bad practice.
Not that I've ever bought anything from Kogan and feel the need to stick up for them, but seeing they are all grey imports and the US dollar has risen a bit in the last couple of weeks, it would make sense for the prices to be a little higher (whether they have done it to cover postage is another story!).
I've been eyeing a camera off for days on their website. The free shipping has just convinced me to purchase it. They didn't up the price on it either. Plus a 12 month Australia warranty on it too. :)
I just got OW to price match Kogan on this camera whilst free shipping is on.

They had it for $348 (RRP $449) and were happy to match it down to $284. I got the last one at Fairy Meadow so I was lucky. Very happy with my bargain so I wanted to share. :D
Here's a photo of the receipt too.

how the hell did you get that???!?!? they still are grey imports…
thanks for letting us know, that would be worth a shot.
now… who can price match a camera len… i doubt officeworks will have them..
OW obviously didn't know it's a grey import. It said Australian Warranty and I think that's all they looked at. The one I got from OW has a warranty card for Australia so I'm happy.
Got to remember it is 12 Months Kogan Warranty not Manufacturer Warranty.
So if it breaks you will most likely have to wait longer than 2 weeks to get it.
Since you got to send it to them, then they forward it to their HK Office then fix it, then send back to Australia.
I remember that someone telling me that Nikon Lens have an International warranty, could this by-pass this process?
Raising prices to compensate for shipping, for shame
It's not all prices. See my above post.
already bought something… i needed a vacuum cleaner and had been looking at the kogan one… this just made it a no-brainer.
