  • user01 on 27/10/2021 - 23:30

    No stock in the officeworks near me. How does price beat work on the phone? Will they take my credit card and place an order for me or they will give me a discount code for ordering online? Thanks.

    • shrugies on 28/10/2021 - 00:07

      Usually they take your credit card details and charge you straight away with your nominated option of either delivery to home or pick up in store (if the stores out of stock, they can deliver to store), if you do PB over the phone.

          Yes, I realised that.

          Anyway I just PB the 14" MBP at $3205.30 over the phone. The OW staff laughed and agreed he has already received multiple phone calls this morning regarding the same PB on the new MBP.

  • obit11 on 28/10/2021 - 07:52

    My local Officeworks reckons they won't give quotes with price matches.

    • obit11 on 28/10/2021 - 08:09

      To clarify, they think since they don't have stock of it, they can't price match it and quote it for me. The policy insinuates that the competitor has to have stock, not them… I tried with the 1300 office too and they said they won't price match and quote an item they have out of stock. I was looking for that top specced one.

      • Bulaxy on 28/10/2021 - 08:27

      You could possibly stack the $800 worth of apple gift cards with the AOC education apple store. If you want to have a look, Here is the link: https://www.apple.com/au_edu_5000447/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pr…

      • bidam1 on 28/10/2021 - 11:00

        Yeah might do… You reckon not worth waiting for any upcoming deals?

        • King181 on 28/10/2021 - 11:23

          There might also be a back to school education deal where apple provides airpods for free with ipad and mac purchases (usually starts around 7th of Jan)… so might be worth waiting for, although I don't know if it applies for the AOC education apple store… I doubt tgere will be deals on black friday due to these machines being fairly new (although I can be wrong)… I am sure there will be other deals like this soon… it all depends when you need it. Hope this helps ;)

    Have finally gotten OW to pricebeat over the phone. They asked if I wanted delivery, I said no and they let me C&C at my local OW. Don't call the local stores (they're pieces of shite); call the main OW and you'll have no problem 👍

    Final price: $2564 (14" 8c/512gb)

    Please read this before buying any M1 macbook:
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/11200934/redir

    Neg is just to make you do research before buying it or at least buy AppeCare+.

    • netsurfer on 28/10/2021 - 10:48

      I got a new Macbook Air M1 last Jan and just wiping the screen made it crack and Apple doesn't cover it under warranty.

      So Apple refused to cover it under warranty for you? I am finding with Apple, other than iPhones, the warranty isn't as good as people thought and can be inconsistent. Phones, Apple seems to do the 2 years warranty (sometimes longer). However, other items are strictly one year. Phone support nowadays seems worse than support from Apple retail stores.

      Apple warranty service used to be really good, but most recent experience hasn't been all that positive, especially for warranty on accessories.

      • sade on 28/10/2021 - 12:15

        No, they don't cover it under warranty as they say it's multicrack. Which the definition of cracks is by them. I got the documents for the case from Apple.
        Although the Technician here stated that there is no physical damage and it should be factory defect, they called it's multicrack fault and not covered by warranty.
        Looks like scam for me, coming from APPLE.

    • dealsucker on 28/10/2021 - 11:38

      First things first these are NOT M1 MacBook. Second if this was even a slightly widespread issue, we would have heard it in the press. Negging a deal based on a comment by someone not even using the same laptop! Holy hell!

      • sade on 28/10/2021 - 12:19
        -1

        I'm a decade apple user, macbook pro. After lots of research, bough the M1 air last Jan and loved it, up until the screen cracked and apple denied to cover it under warranty.
        The Neg is a heads up call for people to be aware of a such thing. Please read the comments there and see the links.

        • dealsucker on 28/10/2021 - 12:29
          +3

          Which company would replace a cracked display under warranty unless it was a widespread issue and there is a recall of some sorts. On top it doesnt change the fact that the laptop in this deal isnt even the same one!

          So people need to be aware of screen randomly cracking (taking your word) if they buy the M1 Air laptop but this isnt M1 Air. Its a completely different laptop inside out so how does it make any sense to neg this deal? I hope the mods are looking

          • sade on 28/10/2021 - 12:37
            -1

            @dealsucker: You didn't read the comments and the links I mentioned before. The issue is for M1 Air/Pro.
            And just for your information this deal has mentioned 5 M1 deals in the original post.

          • netsurfer on 28/10/2021 - 12:59
            +1

            @dealsucker: While the neg is not necessary, it is good for people to be aware of Apple's warranty on Macs. Like I mentioned before, the warranty service appears different for iPhones vs other Apple products. I was in an Apple store 2-3 years ago and I heard a customer with an iPhone with a cracked screen talking to an Apple staff. Eventually, he got that phone replaced by Apple. You don't get the same treatment for Macs and Macbook Pro's. There are quite a lot of horror stories.

            Even for my most recent experience with AirPods Pro warranty. 1 year is up so no warranty support. Again, that's different to my experience with iPhone warranty support. Basically, it is good to know that before buying.

            Also, it is not just 1 case. There have been multiple of those reported. Granted, those are for M1 based. However, you are not going to get better treatment just because it is M1 Pro/Max.

            • sade on 28/10/2021 - 13:28

              @netsurfer: Because I have used laptops for more than 20 years, I understand that it's not a normal screen on these M1 macbooks. Even the technician stated that it should be factory defect. My impression is that since there is a lawsuit against them, repairing these under warranty means they accept it's their fault.

              Anyway, neg is there to make people read these and make decision knowingly.

              • dealsucker on 28/10/2021 - 14:33

                @sade: So the technician stated that it should be a factory defect and still didnt change your display? Which technician was it? You are negging a deal which isnt even for the same laptop. Are you going to neg every deal on every Apple product because they did not replace a cracked screen on your laptop? I hope the mods are looking.

            • dealsucker on 28/10/2021 - 14:29
              +1

              @netsurfer: If they replaced a cracked display on a phone under warranty thats excellent customer service but its not an obligation. And i dont believe you for the Airpods Pro. Under Australian consumer laws they are liable to provide atleast 2 years warranry and I have had stuff replaced after 1 year easily. There's even a replacement program on for Airpods Pro specifically. May be try again.

      So after calling OW about how I felt I was cheated, OW honoured their PB price given I have initially called before they have updated their price. Kudos to OW for honouring it, since there's not much I can do besides whinge online about it even if they don't.

  • PeppaPigDidNthngWrng on 28/10/2021 - 15:17

    Since the Officeworks deal won't work anymore (because same price): Harvey Norman (yes, that garbage pile) are offering gift cards with interest-free plan purchases.

    Spend:

    $3000-$3999: Get $150 card
    $4000-$4999: Get $200 card
    $5000-$5999: Get $250 card

    Costs $8.95/month

    so, you can go to HN, get them price match GG, apply for an interest-free thing, get your Macbook Pro, then walk out and back in again and buy $150-$200 of accessories (messenger bag, headphones, whatever), then pay off your interest-free card in full.

    You might still have to pay the $9 first monthly fee, so works out at $141-$191 of bonus stuff.

    5% Officeworks discount would be better, but this isn't nothing.

    Price Matched OW yesterday over the phone. Picked up today!

      Same. Picked mine up after work this evening. Just finished updating the MacOS to 12.0.1, took quite a while.

    Will JB HI-FI match anyone here?

    I'm overflowing with 17% off cards .

      Definitely interested to know!

      Pretty sure they'll easily match 10% @ TGG (given it's same company) or OW (they've matched it easily in the past for me)… bigger issue will be finding stock.
