      • ravzter on 09/12/2011 - 21:11

        HN did this price for me the other day but i wanted something close to centrecom deal, maybe even if this was down to $350 you would have more ozbargainers interested

        • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 09/12/2011 - 21:21

          :), i will not be able to withstand the WHOLE ozbargainer's interest though :). There are not enough stock in whole Australia to challenge that :P. Anyway, $350 with docking is impossible at this stage.

      • hellbuster on 09/12/2011 - 21:21

        Don't get me wrong mate. All and all this a bargain, a good one. But i'mnot ozbargained :-D

        • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 09/12/2011 - 21:57

          thanks mate :).

    • scynaz on 10/12/2011 - 01:01

      Centrecom dispatched the first few orders and cancelled the rest of the orders claiming the shipment was damaged. I had one of the orders, they sent me a payment reminder and I was about to pay when I saw a post on whirlpool about cancelled orders so thought I'll ask first.

      And they told me that my order had been cancelled, which they knew already when they sent me a payment reminder, so I would have paid them and then waited I don't know how long to get a refund, because they changed their mind about the deal - I don't buy the damaged shipment explanation, they would get replacement stock if it was.

      CentreCom are dodgy, this is a decent deal, though you might see better deals in the future.

      • johndoe123 on 10/12/2011 - 07:19

        i got mine from centrecom with broken sealed. box a bit damaged. content looks fine

  • pooran on 09/12/2011 - 21:09

    Cant really compare that Centrecom deal to this one assuming there are more units available on this deal. At the moment this deal is reasonable but given the situation SGT and the Prime, I would have expected a 32gb version for this deal to make it a very good bargain.

    • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 09/12/2011 - 21:13

      Hi pooran,

      Frankly speaking: you would rather a deal with around 10 units where you might not have a chance, or you want to try to work on a deal where you have BIG chance of getting? The 32GB if really comes to this price, the qty will not be more than 10 units. Those are loss of hundreds of dollars per unit.

      • pooran on 09/12/2011 - 22:11

        Don't get me wrong, I'm all against those crappy bargains that waste peoples' time but I'm just pointing out that new models are just around the corner and prices on current models are dropping. Obviously you are not in the business to lose money but maybe you know something we don't and you just want to get rid of you 32gb models.

        • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 09/12/2011 - 22:43

          Hi pooran,

          I like the way you think :). We are expecting 64GB prime coming in (hopefully before christmas). The 32GB prime will not be coming in this year. Realistic choice this christmas for Asus will be: TF101 16GB and 32GB version, and maybe 64GB prime. May more able to update when we really get the stock of prime.

  • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 09/12/2011 - 21:09

    Also we have tested our server with our just finished Xbox360 epic deal and we are confident our website will not go down under HUGE traffic this time. Customers can buy smooth and easy base on results just now.

    Still waiting for another Acer 500 deal for around $250. THis time I'll get one for my Junior, even if the finance minister will put me on bread and water for one month. Had enough of sharing my tablet !!

    • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 09/12/2011 - 21:45

      Hi cameldownunder,

      I am doubting another Acer 500 will appear at that price again. If that does, the stock qty will for sure very limited. The advantage of this deal over A500: you get an Asus keyboard docking with extra battery that can let you use the tablet for longer hours that any other tablet and at the same time use it for typing where necessary and as a stand. Comes with 2 x full size USB port too for your external drive connections.

    Where does this item dispatch from? Australia or Hong Kong?

  • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2011 - 21:39

    The important questions:
    Does the price include shipping? If not, how much extra is it?
    Is it local (ie Australia-based) stock or overseas? How long will it take to be delivered?
    and
    What on Earth does "Like our facebook till 130 before the deal" mean in plain English?

      Hi FerretallicA,

      Freight is around $13, depending on you area.
      Stock = Australia stock as mentioned able, and we dispatch next day when payment received confirmed.

      Like our facebook page via this link:
      http://www.facebook.com/pages/shoppingexpresscomau/145816518…
      If we reached 130 likes before the deal is active (& stays there of course) on our facebook, the price will become $379

    • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2011 - 21:53

      just checked on their website(so they can't charge you more on that epic sale) and shipping cost to Melbourne is $13.15 with Australia Post eParcel or $19.95 with Australia Post + Insurance Cover.

    not a fantastic deal, and the facebook like to 130 doesn't even make sense, then again I hate facebook and dont use it.

    • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 09/12/2011 - 21:59

      Do not be overly concerned with having to like the facebook, as long as many other people see this high vote deal, i am sure the objective will be reached. We have more than enough stock to handle the merely 50 likes required from this promotion.

  • couger on 09/12/2011 - 22:10

    Ok I just liked you on Fb, i am the 100. Wish this time you will have stock when I check out. BTW my username is auscouger on your website. You can see me reged at 8:52pm last time.

    • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 09/12/2011 - 22:24

      Hi couger,

      Thanks for your vote, please come on time this time. You were slightly on the wrong end last time around :).

  • EarlyBird on 09/12/2011 - 23:10

    This time around, we have… (this is not QTY less than 10 type of promotion to grab some cheap traffic)…

    like our previous deals?

    Sounds to me like an admission of guilt.

    Well, I think we should reserve judgement until then. Hopefully, they will turn over a new leaf this time round.

    BTW I have a distaste for retailers bribing customers for Facebook or Ozbargain votes. The practice is dishonourable to say the least.

    • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 10/12/2011 - 00:26
      -1

      :). We don't and never will post a deal with less than 10 qty unless it is clearance products or something just not so popular. We understand the high risk of cheap traffic and getting the disadvantage of offending the majority of people not able to enjoy the deal. As such, all our previous epic deals last towards the end of the deal (with exception of the overly popular xbox360 deals tonight). We do have lots of stock for this transformer, but judging on the popularity from facebook increase, we honestly think it may last for 20 minutes to half and hour the most.

      Also: Our offers and deals are not limited to ozbargainers. We have our own customer base supporting us through our deals with our Epic hour sale being one of the most popular currently. The previous epic sale was just going way too quicker than we thought, as we just changed a new server the day before and this is our first test of our epic sale, and everything was too smooth (we have 1 page checkout), making buying very fast and many orders get through each minute.

      • EarlyBird on 10/12/2011 - 10:54
        +1

        It's good to hear. If the promtion events turn out well as promised, your website will no doubt increase in popularity.

        Unlike the other similarly named Shopping website from whom one could not expect to get a Square deal.

  • goevencheaper on 09/12/2011 - 23:21

    I always think only the 32GB version comes with keyboard. Is the keyboard genuine?

    • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 09/12/2011 - 23:34

      The keyboard and tab are both Asus genuine product. They are packaged seperately with the keyboard normally selling $100 or more.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/12/2011 - 18:04

        • hellbuster on 11/12/2011 - 15:37

          Hi there, I play all sort of files. avi, mp4, flv, mkv, etc;

          I'm not sure what you mean by h264 codec. The mx player I'm using has its own mx player codec (which for some reason you have to download and install seperately).

          The mx player(armv7) is specially for tablets with tegra 2 processor and at the time of playback it uses both cores of the processor.

        • articfox on 12/12/2011 - 11:13

          This tablet will struggle to play videos at anything more then 720p, it slows down and losses sound quality.

    I got my eee TF101 during the epic hour a few weeks ago, then I flew out to my mining job and it was delivered while I was away. Sheesh, I was sure bustin' to get home and give it a test drive. So I've only been using it less than a week, including to enter this text and I have just a few words to say … GRAB YOURSELF ONE FROM THIS DEAL! They're (the TF101's) awesome, for example that genuine Asus dock is an intelligent device in itself, and its firmware gets updated as part of the free, over wi-fi upgrade.

    Ozbargain were great too. My order was going through when their system crashed so I rang up next morning. There was no hassle, they didn't try to squirm out of the deal and told me straight away over the phone that they could "see" my order but it wasn't going through for some reason, that they'd refund the transaction at least but would try to get me a machine if possible, would phone me back in a few hours when they'd figured out what went wrong and they were as good as their word. THAT's excellent customer focus and they've won my respect bigtime.

      In the US, Bestbuy had it for sale on thanks giving for $250, without the keyboard. Post thanksgiving, they sold it for $299. Lets say $50 for the keyboard, $350, with free shipping would have be a no brainer deal. Iconia is a pretty decent tablet, but looks like this is a better one. I think, for $380 + 13, this is a pretty decent buy. Even if the price falls, it might not fall by more than $30 I think…. I am going to get one.

    This looks like a decent deal although i'll be waiting for the inevitable price drop when the Kal-el Tegra 3 tablets come flooding in.
    It's interesting how everyone is raving about the 89 cents you save on a Marketplace app (admittedly, i've bought a bunch of them ;-)) but save $100 here and people are saying it's just ok…hmmmm, me thinks something is a little odd in OzBargain land…
    Yes I get that as a percentage the saving is massively more, but I don't know about you but i'd prefer money than 'percentages' in my wallet.

      "We understand the high risk of cheap traffic and getting the disadvantage of offending the majority of people not able to enjoy the deal. As such, all our previous epic deals last towards the end of the deal"

      All that said, I did manage to get one… but it appears I am in the distinct minority.

        What I'm particularly annoyed with was that the rep dogged off other companies for selling out fast.
