  same here

    Did you make an order?
    - Garlic on 16/12/2011 - 09:53
      
      YES, my code worked after 30mins, made the order and done the payment with a confirmed email but no calls from AP
- shawn_low on 16/12/2011 - 10:50
  
  Me too. Got confirmation email after payment was made. Havent' heard back.
  
  Half-expecting an email to say:
  
  'Sorry, we've had to cancel your order, here's a refund'.

    I called them today. Delivery will be within 7-14 days if you received "order no". Fingers cross
    - zn7726 on 16/12/2011 - 11:27
      
      Did you mean:
      1. They will honor it if you have received the confirmation email with the Order No. on it?
      2. They will still honor your order even if you didn't get a call from AP?
      
      Thanks
    - shanlay on 16/12/2011 - 11:48
      
      My understanding is, if you received confirmation email with order no, you will get the handset within 7-14 days.
    - shawn_low on 16/12/2011 - 12:35
      
      Apparently from earlier in the thread, all the order nos were the same?
    - Domingo on 16/12/2011 - 13:06
      
      Don't believe so. Order number may be the same if the same code was used multiple times.

Is anyone able to order via email as stated on the mod edit yet?
- Domingo on 16/12/2011 - 14:05
  
  That was temporary and no longer applies. They currently aren't accepting orders, but have stated that they will contact code holders when the codes not yet used are able to be used again.
skywise on 16/12/2011 - 21:39

anyone has their order dispatched yet?
- allegiance86 on 17/12/2011 - 00:09
  
  I'm eager to find this out too!! Anyone got any correspondence or anything from AP yet????
- Ughhh on 17/12/2011 - 11:26
  
  No call or email yet from them, apart from the confirmation email. Were they supposed to call to give us a consignment number for tracking or something?
  - skywise on 17/12/2011 - 11:49
    
    well, i called them and was told there would be up to 2 weeks verification process for all the orders and no guarantee on pre-xmas delivery. the transaction still pending tho. i saw zn7726 mentioned his payment went through, that is why i am kinda wondering if anyone has their order dispatched.
    - zn7726 on 17/12/2011 - 17:37
      
      No contact from them yet, although I've sent 2 emails asking if my order will be honored or not.

A few people have reported a call from AP. I too am eager to find out if they will honor the deal. I paid by CC, and whilst I can see a deduction for the payment in the balance amount, I do not actually have a record from AP accepting payment on my statement. Could mean its not processed - anyone else the same? or this could mean they are going to give a refund?
- allegiance86 on 17/12/2011 - 18:02
  
  lol it sounds like you bought in bulk :)
  
  I got a Order Number too so we should be sweet.
  
  They cannot really hold your funds for 14 days then give a refund, too many implications… such as interest that you would have gained while the money is in the bank.
  
  I keep looking out for the postman lol
Arcticfox on 17/12/2011 - 18:14

Looks like the Xperia Arc has been removed from outright handsets on allphones.

Was the one I was gonna get if my code got validated for use :-(
- Azza123 on 17/12/2011 - 18:24
  
  Also planned on purchasing that one.
- ant-ant on 17/12/2011 - 19:30
  
  Hopefully the xperia arc s goes up to replace it :P
  - Azza123 on 17/12/2011 - 19:35
    
    Even so, I was looking forward to getting an Arc for under $200.
- EarlyBird on 17/12/2011 - 22:34
  
  They're either sold out in the mad rush or AllPhones has decided that they're not making any profit at $185 a piece.
  Pity, would've been a real bargain.
  - T-man on 18/12/2011 - 18:56
    
    They are in the black because they don't have to spend money for advertising. Many people don't know AP before like me. They are hoping to be put in the front page of news paper because of the deal.

just got a call from all phones..they confirmed my address and handset that i ordered for delivery. i had ordered 2 different handsets using the same code i was given. they said it was suppose to be one voucher per person and allowed to order only once. so they will be sending out just one of my orders.
- Domingo on 19/12/2011 - 13:04
  
  Thanks for the update, great news!
- tesla on 19/12/2011 - 13:04
  
  Lucky you. I am still waiting for them to honour the code. I did not get a chance to purchase when the whole thing gets revoked.
- T-man on 19/12/2011 - 13:27
  
  so are they gonna give you a refund for the other one?
  - SeanEIt on 19/12/2011 - 13:43
    
    so far i dont see any charges on my card..so not sure if iv bn charged for both orders..
    - T-man on 19/12/2011 - 14:20
      
      really! they charged me immediately after I submitted the order and the merchant was: Allphones.com.au Rhodes
    - zn7726 on 19/12/2011 - 14:23
      
      Same here. Haven't seen the payment on my CC's transaction history, although the payment seemed went through after i provided my CC detail on CBA's payment screen.

  Yup, I just got my phone call too… the guy said they got slammed with 5,000 orders…mostly because of Ozbargain :D
  Confirmed it will be delivered by Christmas
  - T-man on 19/12/2011 - 13:38
    
    hoho, good new, probably I should get their call today because I also placed the order successfully.
  - Fungus on 19/12/2011 - 13:41
    
    Yeah, eagerly waiting for my call. Mind me asking what order number (just the last four digits or something). Trying to work out whether it's by chronological order or not. I'm going overseas early next month so I can't afford to risk getting it after Xmas.

    5,000 orders and only 115 + votes? Maybe 4,885 of the orders belong to Broden?
    - drexxx on 19/12/2011 - 18:15
      
      yeah good point. not very cool…
    - T-man on 19/12/2011 - 19:09
      
      I don't believe they got 5000 orders on that day, but I do believe they got 5000 e-mail inquiries.
      
      We could only order about 2 hours, so I put 20 orders per min (That's plenty and incredible) = (20 * 60)*2 = 2400 orders approximately
- shawn_low on 19/12/2011 - 13:39
  
  What was your code number (roughly)? Just to see where I am in the queue!
  - SeanEIt on 19/12/2011 - 13:45
    
    my voucher code was 4169845XX and order nmber with AP 9690091XX

      Yikes my voucher code was 4169845XX and order number 9690075XX. Similar voucher code and earlier order number but still no call? :(
    - zn7726 on 19/12/2011 - 14:00
      
      My order number is 9690081XX, but still no calls no emails from them (sent 2 emails today)!!! Waiting for the call and really hope that I could receive the handset by Xmas (4 days left)!
stonedewok on 19/12/2011 - 13:48

voucher code: 416985XXX, AP order number similar to fallen (above)
Domingo on 19/12/2011 - 14:02

Maybe they are going in reverse order number and counting down. The early bird gets the undercooked worm!

  Got the call, phone on way. My order number a bit below fallen41ln and above Fungus and zn, so it's possible going in reverse order as my colleague who also ordered before me hasn't got a call yet. Also maybe depends on phone ordered?
  
  Ganz, a lot of negs for this deal, but thanks for posting! Seems a lot of us got a great deal, and hopefully people with vouchers but no order yet will get their chance :)
  - zn7726 on 19/12/2011 - 15:02
    
    Hope my phone rings soon!
    
    Did they say you will get your handset by Xmas?
    - mooboy on 19/12/2011 - 16:07
      
      I was told would be dispatched today and should arrive by Thursday. No idea if that's overly optomistic or the same for everyone or not.
hamajiro on 19/12/2011 - 14:03

I got the discount code, but missed out on ordering one. Once Allphones start taking more orders, I was planning to get the Motorola Razr, but it looks like they are no longer selling them outright? :-/
- T-man on 19/12/2011 - 14:27
  
  They are probably planning to increase the price and start taking orders again after X-mas.
  - hamajiro on 19/12/2011 - 15:06
    
    I'd be a bit surprised if they increase the price because most customers don't have the $200 discount code, so they'll loose customers. If they do actually increase the price, I'll wait until they drop the price again since the discount code is meant to be valid until February.
    - skywise on 19/12/2011 - 15:14
      
      the price for few phone actually increased a bit, like 20ish whilst they reduced availability of the outright handsets. IMHO, i do not really expect a significant price drop or restoration even to Feb with some latest released models.
Prav on 19/12/2011 - 15:05

I called them this morning to cancel my order which has not been processed yet. To cancel I need to wait for the phone, pay the postage to send it back then get a 20% restocking fee. Is this right?
So I wait to wait 14 working days for the phone to be delivered and hopefully I will get the phone by next year :-)
- shawn_low on 19/12/2011 - 19:52
  
  Better off selling it here on the forums or on Gumtree.
skywise on 19/12/2011 - 15:10

got the call, same story as fallen41Ln. Interesting thing happened is i indeed just ordered a Motorola Razr, somehow they mentioned i placed the order on multiple handsets before i clarified my order details further. I was then told the phone will be delivered either by end of this week or early of next week due to xmas rash. Good to see things getting settled. BTW, both of my order and voucher numbers are about couple hundreds earlier than fallen41Ln, seems they doing at reversed-chronological order.
- FromAtoZ on 19/12/2011 - 16:43
  
  not sure. i registered for the code at 10.45 but placed an order about 12.15

      I just got call from them. I ordered two but only 1 of them will be honoured because I used 1 code twice. I actually have 4 codes but only one was working. The lady said the competition.. no, the promotion only allows the code being used one time.
      Yes, it is a competition.
      
      Those who made order and haven't received, won't be long. Looks like they are going through orders gradually.

just called to Allphones Online Sales and complained about why it took so long to ship out the S2. He was sorry for the delay because they had to check through 5000 orders on that day (five thousand).

Then they asked for my code, and checked it, and confirmed the code was ok, and said the phone will be delivered soon.

Thanks OP.

They've taken down several outright phones, so if they do accept codes later, expect to be picking from few select phones. https://www.allphones.com.au/shop/mobile-phones-outright.asp

  But that's exactly what you've done. You haven't confirmed with them if your order has actually been cancelled, or if so, why.
  
  As jasecs said, maybe someone else tried to use your voucher code (which, if true, is really bad luck for you). In which case, you might still get it after you actually talk to them.

  they aren't telling us anything. just "your phone will be within 14 working days"
  i called 138000 option 3, option 1.
  representative picks up almost instantly but they just say the same thing over and over.
  
  they cant even tell me if my payments been accepted.
  i got my confirmation of order email from allphoens on the 14th of dec and have had a pending card authorisation on my debit card since the 14th.
- WHL on 20/12/2011 - 13:55
  
  Just called them. First thing the guy asked was: "Did you use a promotional code with your order?" Yes
  then asked "From where?" Amazing Deals.
  Answer "You will get the phone 7 - 14 days from the day you received the confirmation email"
  What a standard answer. He didn't even ask about my order number!

This was posted 13 years 4 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
