http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1817405 << EDIT - fixed link

No info on delivery costs, and the website does not allow you to order via Paypal or credit card, but reports on whirlpool confirmed credit card payments over the phone, and delivery of product when a similar deal to this was done previously.

Company has ABN etc and appears legit, but question marks over virtual offices etc. First registered as a business in March 2011, so also very new.

If this works, then deal is an absolute beauty. not quite free as the iPads can be had marginally cheaper than the price of the 'first' one, but not a significant amount. Prior to this, their previous price for a single same-spec iPad was $623.70.

I have taken the plunge myself… ordered over the net, chose postal order, and then requested a call for credit card details, as well as leaving my details in the 1300 number answering machine. New Years Day, so was not expecting a answer/call back until business is back open.

Will let you know how I go!

UPDATE

Received email via paypal from eglobal with paypal link, paid via credit card and paypal. Very tempted to go and buy another pair to sell off and completely fund the ASUS Transformer Prime when it is released :-)

Update 1.1 > Appears to be free delivery as well, as the paypal request was for $750.75, with delivery being 5 - 9 business days from receipt of payment.

I decided to get my children's parents one each as well.. :-)

Mod: We are jointly monitoring this deal on both here and Whirlpool. 2/1

FURTHER MOD EDIT This deal sounds great and it might just be that. Like everything that is a too good to be true deal, making an informed decision might benefit you greatly. Reading ALL of the better detailed insights below might benefit you before you make the decision.

      They don't have offices. Those addresses are "virtual offices" where they pay $100 a month for each one. See the comments of the linked in the ozbargain thread in the original post.

      Ok just to sum up the whirlpool thread - the only users who had positive experiences had less than 10 posts each, and we incredibly defensive about the company when their honestly was called into question. I.e clear sockpuppets.

      One user with a substantial posting history (14k posts) also had a positive expereience however his account name appears to be a real name and thus its not a stretch to think that the company honoured his transaction purely to gain reputation (given that they were already active in the thread and he had promised to let everyone know whether the ipads turned up).

      Of course you're all free to make your own decisions but im going to call this one a SCAM.

    going by the WP thread and the people who said they received their order either this is the best ipad deal out yet or it's a very elaborate scam indeed! ATM i'm erring on the side of caution since these days it's very easy to open multiple online accounts and 'pretend' to be someone else, and the comment about "the guy just rang me up and knows everything about me" sends shivers up my spine!

    • Redmo0n on 01/01/2012 - 23:45

      The only thing I'm worried about is they sent a few real ipads to bait more people in before running of with more $$, still paypal/cc will be the best method & you should get you're money back if it is a scam :/

        yes i agree, but keep in mind you shouldn't rely entirely on paypal to help you out, paypal tend to help you with 'goods not received' complaints where ever you buy item but when it comes to 'goods not as described' complaints, only items bought on ebay and paid with paypal tend to have better protection from scammers/fakes etc, in my experience non ebay items paid with paypal have 2nd class protection, just my 2 cents based on years of ebaying

        Then at the Paypal payment page I choose to pay with my CC.

    1. The lack of accessible PP/CC. (seriously this is a no brainer)

    • cuongizzle on 02/01/2012 - 01:28

      probably be cheaper for them to receive all ipads to their warehouse/office and then ship it locally.

      rather than ship individually to each buyer from overseas.

    I hate scams which is why I negged this. This one is soooo OBVIOUS … for a myriad of reasons, many of which have already been posted by others (whoever negged me, instead of the scam, please note).

    Just to take a handful of examples from looking at the website, which doesn't bear the slightest scrutiny:

    1) The graphics on the website have been stolen from another website as detailed by mattgal - no reputable company should do that. Moreover, they have stolen a world map showing their global locations and none are shown in Australia, despite them listing elsewhere serviced offices with Servcorp in a number of cities.

    2) The narrative on the website - depending on where you look - is EITHER about a company that a) outsources IT or b) trains staff to retain customers - nowhere is it about selling iPads and suchlike which has been tacked on to the mess of a site.

    3) They show over 30 partners. Taking one at random, Microsoft, they claim to be a Gold certified partner - they are NOT. Microsoft lists its partners and this company is not one of them. An unrelated company e-global in Malaysia IS a partner, but it has nothing to do with this operation.

    4) There's the (evidently still) obligatory grammatical giveaway not picked up by the spell check or their English 'expert' : "Companies thrive to find a technology partner who …" …. they meant 'strive'.

    I could go on ad infinitum but its late … please don't waste your time on this SCAM.

      Mxyzptik.

      Now you realise WHY we ask for some "Reason" for negging a deal.

      Thank you for providing that. Negging a deal is an very important tool for warning people of an issue you see. It really decreases the value of this tool when people just post one word negs or generic "scam" comments.

      We know you dont like a deal purely by the fact you negged it. We want to understand why so we can assess for ourselves if that warning can be used by us.

      This last post is 1000 times more effective than your first posts. Thank you for the valuable insights and the time you have taken to explain your thoughts. That benefits the community so much better than just posting "scam"

      The only issue is that not everyone will scroll down to read this post of yours, so your neg vote might be removed by others seeing your first comment above. Now everyone may lose the benefits of your insight. If you read this you might want to edit your original comments and point to these insights.

        Ozpete,

        Point taken, but I thought it had already been covered by others, so I also formally reported the 'deal' referring to mattgal's post so that Ozbargain could put a CLEARer warning right up front, something which I cannot do.

          Yes REPORTING alerts mods to an issue, and thank you for doing that. Thats another valuable tool.

          Negging a deal highlights to others there is something wrong. Many will just scroll down to see the neg comment and skip the other comments. So it can actually detract from something others say.

          Please accept that my comments on this are really trying to help, JUST like your detailed summation also will help. I wouldn't like these to be lost on the community because some neg your original post.

          And if only many could really understand why the mods dont like the tool being misused… Again not a personal attack just a great opportunity to again clarify what the power of a correctly used neg vote bestows on the community

          No worries … and thanks for your work and the site.

      The random list of partners is hardly believable, and the text is pretty awful,
      but the site and the map are the same because they're template-based websites: http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/29192.html

      So they aren't stolen graphics. Just purchased.

        True. Thanks … & they claim nearly 300 employees nationally.

    Another point on Paypal., which at this time its too late in the night for me to check, so confirm this for yourself.

    I thought Paypal protect applies only to purchases made thru ebay. Protection may not apply for purchases outside the ebay system…

    Again someone might have a link to confirm or deny this. I mention it only in case it might help

    A second thought

    Most of iPad deals being offered around save around the tens of dollars over some other offering. Most by being gray market imports. This is by far the greatest discount being offered by anyone on an iPad. Even when a new model iPad is being introduced the discount on the older version never amounted to this much of a discount. And as of less than a month ago iPads were in short supply.

    Like all bargain hunters I hate the thought of losing a deal, but given the timing of this PLUS they had a deal posted here a few days ago which wasnt anywhere as attractive as this deal. Both over the holiday period when the ability for anyone to really scrutinise this deal, rings alarm bells for me.

    Its sooo out of character for Apple to provide ANY company let alone an virtually unknown business such an attractive buying deal. I doubt even large corporates get a deal like this. AND this company has to make a profit as well.

    But I have been wrong before, however my bargain nose smells a RAT, and with that amount of money at stake, its going to take a lot of discounted pizza's to make up for the loss.

    And a quick sqizz of Paypal Australia shows this

    Amounts that you may receive under PayPal’s Buyer Protection Policy.

    IMPORTANT: For purchases made on www.ebay.com.au there is a maximum discretionary payment amount of $20,000.00 AUD.

    PayPal is not obliged to pay any amount at all, or if it does decide to make a payment, to pay the maximum amount set out – you may, at PayPal's discretion, receive a payment which is less than the maximum of $20,000.00 AUD, but PayPal will not pay more than the maximum discretionary amount.

    …….

    1. Purchase from www.ebay.com.au

      This PayPal Buyer Protection Policy only applies to eligible purchases made on www.ebay.com.au. If at the time of purchase the eligible item listing did not have a notation on it stating that it may be eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection you will not be entitled to be considered under this policy.

    Read more details here

    Note above

    PAYPAL has discretion - not guaranteed
    Ebay purchases.

      i don't think that is completely correct. i just read the paypal t&cs https://cms.paypal.com/au/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&conte… . note item c (iii). however this might not apply to the payment process going on.

      4.1. You may be eligible for the PayPal Buyer Protection Policy if the following eligibility requirements are met:

      a. you use PayPal as your payment method when you make the payment; and

      b. your payment is less than $20,000.00; and

      c. your payment is not a personal transaction payment and is made through:
      i. an eBay “Pay Now” button or an eBay invoice; or
      ii. the “Send Money” button of your Account by selecting “eBay Item” and entering your eBay User ID and the eBay item number for purchases on eBay; or
      iii. the “Send Money” tab on our Website, by clicking the “Purchase” tab, or by selecting the “Checkout with PayPal” button or otherwise selecting PayPal as part of a Seller’s PayPal checkout flow; and

      d. your payment is made from your Account and not directly from a Credit Card processed through our Website Payments Pro or Virtual Terminal service; and

      e. pay the full amount of the item in one payment. Items purchased with multiple payments – like a deposit followed by a final payment – are not eligible; and

      f. Item Not Received or item received but Significantly Not As Described; and

      …

      Guess its too early in the morning to try to read all the clauses so again warning to all dont make an assumption or purchase until you do some checking in detail. Maybe even ring or make written contact with paypal on this.

      I did see this clause again in your link

      1.5. Where we are unable to recover the whole or any part of your payment from the seller we may in our absolute and sole discretion, decide to make an ex gratia payment. Please note payment by us under the PayPal Buyer Protection Policy is at our absolute and sole discretion. You have no automatic entitlement to receive any payments. The PayPal Buyer Protection Policy does not indemnify you for loss which may incur and it is not a contract of insurance.

      Note Ex-gratia and not a contract of insurance AND implies that they need to recover money first, before they pay out. And if its a scam will they be able to RECOVER any money at all.. Ah maybe a law degree and a QC is going to be needed.. all for a cheap iPad which the OP is going to resell and make a profit on!!
      Gotta get some sleep

        PayPal payment where a credit card is used is a simple reversal. Where bank accounts are involved it appears to be more difficult, and usually where ex gratia payments are used when problems arise. If the authority to access the bank account is removed then PayPal cannot get the money back, and will usually not bear the majority of the loss themsleves.

        A dispute via Credit Card Buyer protection is another layer I guess.
