Moved to Forum: Original Link

MOD: Dicksmith has informed us that this is a Pricing Error. Please do not place any further orders.

Seems these were part of a bundle that has been unbundled, similar to Big W's Gunstringer / Fruit Ninja deal.

Express delivery is $9.95 per order - limit of 5 of each item.

I spotted this a few days ago, and Phalaxis and Shooty McLooty on Whirlpool gave it a crack…both got theirs delivered today:

I put in an order this morning for 3 x 3 month xbox live codes, and have just been sent the tracking number from AAE.

    No email here yet, and my PayPal payment that was Pending is now Completed. Very strange.

  • kheob on 21/03/2012 - 12:23

    I got an invoice, but then I got the cancellation email.

    Your order has been packed and is awaiting collection. You will receive an email with shipping information this evening which will enable you to track your order.

    Please note that tracking links may not work until next business day.

    See you next time online or in-store!

    I ordered 8:20 last night via credit card. Order still being processed. No email

    Despatched! Yay. Received my AAE tracking number.

  • Corey on 21/03/2012 - 18:55

    Both of mine are still sitting as "In Progress". Ordered at 8:12pm. No email yet for cancellation/pricing error.

  • ejsteven on 21/03/2012 - 18:58

    Both of my ridiculous orders just got dispatched with AAE tracking O_o Was totally expecting them to be cancelled because of the pricing error email that I received earlier today.

    Well, they just shipped my copy of Kinect Sports and Carnival Games, but no Xbox Live Gold :(.

    • maf101 on 21/03/2012 - 19:32

      How do you check if they shipped Xbox Live? Mine says:

      Item Details - Xbox360 Free Carnival Games Bundle YG5439 & YG5559 Only
      Qty Ordered - 5
      Qty Shipped - 5
      Status - Dispatched

      • Feepitee on 21/03/2012 - 20:01

        They didn't, if they did it'll be listed there. They only shipped Carnival Games for you.

  • maf101 on 21/03/2012 - 19:28

    I placed two orders (1 for me & 1 for family). Second order placed at 7.21pm (QLD time). I received the cancellation email then later received dispatch emails with tracking.

  • sparkles on 21/03/2012 - 20:23

    Recieved confirmation that my order has been packed but the items on the order PDF attachment are Everyday Rewards x 1 and Postage & Packing x 1. Maybe they are sending me an empty envelope LOL.

    Current status online: Your order is being amended.

    • Todger on 22/03/2012 - 17:33

      Same here .. has yours progressed to Cancelled yet?

  • hm on 21/03/2012 - 21:23

    This is becoming a joke, first they say they will cancel

    Ive just got an email saying order is on its way but its only for Xbox360 Free Carnival Games Bundle YG5439 & YG5559 Only

    When i check DS online the xbox gold orders are as pending

    but the stuff they are saying they shipped has no postage charge connected and the whole postage charge of the $9.95 is on the xbox gold pending part

    WTF?

    • excite on 21/03/2012 - 23:01

      same here, if they only charge me 1c for the Carnival Games and cancel the xbox gold, then that is acceptable, but if they charge me $9.96 for the Carnival Games and cancel the xbox gold, I will ask for refund as I was mainly after the xbox gold.

  • jasong on 22/03/2012 - 01:35

    I got my 5x xbox golds + carnival today :D didn't see kinect sports until last night so hopefully that arrives. no cancellation email as of yet ;)

  • HereYeeHereYee on 22/03/2012 - 03:27

    Mine says In progress while also Order Status Your order is being amended.

    Just got 1 x Carnival and 4 x 3mth xbl del..$10 total:)

    Thanks kirt for sharing!

    My order was marked as cancelled. I emailed them yesterday saying a couple forums online had advised that people were receiving the same items that I had purchased through the online DSE website, and told them that I felt discriminated against, as some people had got their orders filled.

    Bit of a curve ball this one, as they had honored some orders and were now trying to claim " Pricing Error ". Did not seem kosher - and although no email reply, full order received… Glad I emailed them - worked for me.

  • aznsniper on 22/03/2012 - 15:11

    Strange I got the carnival games, even though on the page it says my xbox live was dispatched however I didn't receive the 5x 3 month live in the box. Im really not sure whats happening

    Are we now responsible for more store closures?

  • Feepitee on 22/03/2012 - 16:34

    Holy crap, Kinect Sports and Carnival Games are the actual DISC versions! I thought they would send me the download cards, but they sent me the actual disks!
    Question now, will Dicksmith ask for the games back? If they do, I'd be happy to but I might give my copy of Kinect Sports I received to a friend, and it'll be hard to explain that I need it back.

  • Mikinoz on 22/03/2012 - 17:29

    Anyone want to swap, sport for anything else(xbox)? im in Rhodes/Ryde

  • Wormetti on 22/03/2012 - 17:31

    either way, well done to OP for posting, and to all for staying on top of this

  • Boss351 on 23/03/2012 - 16:03

    hmm games were delivered but no Live cards even though the order receipt says they were allocated , packed and shipped with the games….bugger

    • aussman on 23/03/2012 - 16:18

      they charged for the live cards as well no refund so they better send em

  • Boss351 on 23/03/2012 - 16:29

    yeah its weird as there was enough room in the box with the games to ship a 1000 Live cards so unless the cards are packed and shipped from a different warehouse? , others who mentioned getting both the cards and games I assumed they would have came together, I'd say were screwed and not getting them :(

    • aussman on 23/03/2012 - 16:39

      o then we should get a refund

  • shane23 on 23/03/2012 - 17:08

    I got my kinect games but no Xbox live cards I rang them and they calling me back. I don't want
    These games I want the cards

  • Mikinoz on 23/03/2012 - 17:50

    I just received a full refund for my orders, although i received the sports bundles. Seems DSE are supplying and refunding. Nice one!

    • Todger on 24/03/2012 - 00:40

      So, they supplied you with the Xbox Live Gold Cards, games and THEN refunded you the cost of the shipping!?

      • Mikinoz on 24/03/2012 - 09:50

        It was Xbox sports connect, and yes cost of shipping and the .05 for each game refunded.

      LOL, I wish. Supplied nothing, refunded in full this morning. Poor me. Boo hoo hoo LOL.

      Whats worse is that I got an email stating:

      Your order has been packed and is awaiting collection. You will receive an email with shipping information this evening which will enable you to track your order.

      Unwritten fine print: NOT!!!!! This is your anti-reward for posting our deals.

      As of now Dick Smith is DEAD to me. :D

  • Grimezy on 23/03/2012 - 17:53

    Got my Carnival, and Sports games alongside with 4 Cards today.

    All good!

  • hm on 24/03/2012 - 00:52

    this turned out to be good for some and a fiasco for others, as per my previous post

    got the carnival games, xbox golds got cancelled after being as pending,
    got refunded $0.05 for xbox golds and charged $10inc shiping for Carnivals

    wasnt impressed, rang DS customer care and said not happy and wanted to return items and get a total refund as the Xbox golds were the main point of the purchase

    lady from DS arranged for refund process to begin, am now waiting for another dept to contact me to organise courier return of Carnival games, and lady said once they were returned and put back into their system a total refund of the $10 would be issued as packaging was still intact/unopened

    i wont hold it against them but i think this whole thing could have been handled a little better by DS

    • Mikinoz on 24/03/2012 - 09:53

      Sorry to hear that, i didnt contact them and it i just waited then received and email advising of refund.

      Maybe it was your call that got some of us a refund?

  • freeradical on 24/03/2012 - 12:35

    Both of my orders have now been cancelled. Funnily enough I only got an email saying one of them was cancelled, which prompted me to check the link for the other one only to see that it was cancelled without notification.

    Additionally I didn't get an email about the pricing error, and the refunded money hasn't shown up in my account yet. I'll give it a couple of days to show up in my account before getting too angsty.

  • datty on 26/03/2012 - 13:12

    I received 5 x Carnival Games and no XBL cards.

    Had no use for the games as I was mainly after the XBL, so I traded the games into JB for $65 store credit.

    • aussman on 26/03/2012 - 15:26

      thats pretty good $13/game

    • datty on 26/03/2012 - 15:52

      Yeh I was pretty surprised to get that much, I was expecting around $8 per game since it comes free with a Kinect bundle.

      Even after trading them in, it still wasn't enough for a 12 month XBL gold subscription which is going for $85.

      I'll probably get mine off Amazon.

  • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2012 - 13:37

    I recieved a tracking number for carnival games which was the same tracking number as the $99 HDD i brought
    but no game came only the HDD. :(

    Hey guys. Just got a full refund of my three orders ($30.02) and I've received 5 x 3 month cards + Sports + Carnival games. I had initially ordered 15 cards but only received 5, so I sent them an email about that and they just refunded me everything.

    $10.05 was a great price but $0.00 is even better. Thanks for the unrequested refund.
