Just noticed MSY has $0.99 shipping if buying online at their beta website beta.msy.com.au - They haven't promoted it well nor can I find any terms and conditions, but I bought a $10 item shipped to metropolitan Sydney and shipping was confirmed 99c. The only info/graphic I can find about it is this pic which you find on their main website.

I don't know when ending date is, given I can't find any terms and conditions.

Addit - I tried cart->checkout on their "old" website, and it's normal shipping cost, so it must go through their "new" beta site for discounted shipping. If any sleuths out there can actually find my terms and conditions/ending date that would be handy.

Addit 2 - There seems to be a lot of talk on MSY itself, FYI they changed owners in the last 2 years, see here. Comment incorrect.

Addit 3 - MSY finally announced an end date for the promo - 30th April.

        Good memories walking into an MSY, taking the price list off the rack, circling what I wanted, and half of it would be out of stock.

          Rule #1 of shopping at MSY:

          Ring first for stock

          Rule #2

          Walk into store throw money at them, no talking required.

          The best experience at MSY is pre-ordering your items, walking into store and both you and the employee just maintaining eye contact while you buy items, no talking.

            @dbmitch: My strategy was to 1. Research online and cross check with parts.pdf 2. Walk into the Auburn store and ask for what I want, no chitchat. 3. Just walk to PCDIY when I get turned down.
            Unfortunately I went to Ultimo once where this didn't work and I got suckered into buying something I didn't like. I stupidly asked for a recommendation when I got turned down since I didn't research alternatives and there were no stores nearby I could get to. Learned to always have a backup plan.

                @iMagoo: Their Slacks Creeks store seemed fine the few times I've been, but I remember going to their Varsity Lakes store some years ago. After not getting through on the phone, I arrived to find the kid who was manning the shop playing some MOBA on the PC at the counter while ignoring the phone which was ringing non-stop. I approached the counter and stood there for a bit, but he remained silent and didn't make eye contact or even acknowledge my existence so I eventually asked him if they had the item I needed, to which he begrudgingly responded like "idk, go look". I'm not the kind of person to get upset by this kind of thing, but it was truly some shit to behold.

        Aw gawd - he was an epic jerk - I once got tossed from his shop with him threatening to call the Police on me as I argued an RMA he wouldn't accept on a GPU that was faulty within a few days. I recall him pointing to a little plaque he had saying he donated to the local Police station and they'd take his side no matter what was said.

        He was one of those rare urban myths where the reality was worse than what was said - he was drinking bourbon and smoking behind the counter of his little fiefdom. He used to love bullying little kids and passive IT folks. Just an obnoxious individual who needed a good slapping.

    Msy is no nonsense. You have your items already chosen beforehand from the website, go in, get the deed done. No bullshit small talk just cheap price. Their stores are such a nostalgia trip. Also forget about any support afterwards lol

  • Avacardooo Rayy Mee on 13/04/2021 - 18:35

    Msy is for cheap prices with slack warranty processes, most prices are $2 cheaper then umart.

    For expensive items I would go for umart or pccasegear or computer alliance.

    Cheap items like under 50$ Is fine with msy.

    They are not there to give you service , they are there to give you the part and say goodbye, people seem to think by going to them they are going to diagnose the issue for free while talking to them.

    That being said, I’m not a fan of MSY, only will buy things I don’t care about warranty about. (There still is manufacture warranty)

      I find them comparable to Umart/PC Byte, but not really outright cheapest nowadays unlike back in yesteryear. FYI I bought a Displayport to VGA adaptor for $10, that's the cheapest I found online, and $0.99 shipping, I wonder if MSY actually makes a loss.

      Yeah same - I had a PSU die after almost 5 years, still in warranty. Brought it in, they tested it on the spot and confirmed it. Gave me a loan PSU until they heard back from the manufacturer. Ended up with a full refund a week later and no downtime. After reading all the dramas people have had I was pretty shocked by how good they were. MSY Auburn
