Looks like a pricing error. Order away and hope it doesn't get cancelled.

Note: This store does not typically honour pricing errors and the store is currently away (holidays) until Monday, 10th January. See their Contact-Us page for information:

  • Office will resume operation on Monday 10/01/2022
  • Enquiries will resume normal operation on Wednesday 12/01/2022

08-Jan-2022
Moved to the forums as we have received multiple reports the order was cancelled by i-Tech, citing a database error.

    In my view, there’s a 2 missing in front of the price, so if they honour this deal, they will be technically bankrupt.

    If I was the OP, I'd have just ordered a couple and kept it quiet. Perhaps they might have honoured it (unlikely but who knows). All that this deal has done is created a headache for them having to deal with refunds etc. Feel sorry for their accounts, not to mention the person who made the mistake.

  • me me me on 07/01/2022 - 09:47

    Even cheaper at EYO. Supplier stock information is interesting. Possibly a pricing error at "Supplier two". https://www.eyo.com.au/597974_seagate-ironwolf-pro-nas-hdd-3…

      They are on holiday's until next week. They even state on their Website that any price errors or even price changes during their 10 days holiday period will be cancelled. Not worth it.

  • giovannip on 07/01/2022 - 09:49

          It is up to the individual to decide if they want to take the (very small) risk on trying to get it. It most likely won't get honoured, but why not try? Look at the Bunnings drone saga.

          • dbmitch on 07/01/2022 - 16:28
            +3

            @brendanm: The Bunning drone saga proves that if the price error is from a massive, huge-arse national company, then you better jump on it quick.

            But for tiny hitters like i-tech? Their long history of price errors in previous posts and guaranteed refunds are all the proof you need, they NEVER honoured a single one.

            • brendanm on 07/01/2022 - 17:25

              @dbmitch: What do you have to lose? Takes probably an entire minute to add to cart, pay with PayPal, and done. I'll admit the odds of it working out are quite low, but the opportunity cost is also low, or zero if you do it while at work.

              • dbmitch on 07/01/2022 - 17:37
                +2

                @brendanm: Refunds from this company can be a pain in the ass, and I can't keep filing Paypal chargebacks very time it happens and get my account flagged.

                The time loss is not from buying, it's the chasing up when they take ages to refund you. AND the email spam they're known for.

                • brendanm on 07/01/2022 - 17:46

                  @dbmitch: Fair enough, though my point still stands, each to their own. I do think that if this company has lots of prior form for this, it should probably be added to the op automatically if someone posts a deal, I wasn't aware it was a common thing with them.

                  • dbmitch on 07/01/2022 - 17:47

                    @brendanm: The cancellations are coming in now, so no surprises here.

                    • brendanm on 07/01/2022 - 17:48

                      @dbmitch: Not at all, and I assumed it would be cancelled, but you never know.

      i dont think anyone got a cancellation from i-tech. from auspcmarket - yes, but they updated the price long ago.

      probably the guys behind i-tech are lagging behind

    I have ordered Surface pro 8 16gb ram version on last Christmas Day for $420. That’s right, only $420, clearly a price error. The order hasn’t shipped yet but I have contacted MS customer service who told me that my order should be fine. Currently Covid-19 situation and the holiday season will delay the shipment.

    • overlook on 07/01/2022 - 11:39

      They're probably about to fold. They sell all 1.2 mill plus shipping, then roll over supplying none. Claim insolvency, theft, loss etc. and deregister the company after pulling out 61 million plus in cash plus whatever else they could hock off.

      Suppliers, Paypal, the buyers and the tax man wear it all and they start again next Monday. They eventually sockpuppet OzB again with a similar rort and again we click buy.

      It's absolutely ridiculous that they would be in the process of cancelling and refunding orders, BEFORE changing the price to be the correct price on their website. I spent 5 years in eCommerce at a company that most people here would be familiar with, and if something like this happened on our website, the absolute FIRST PRIORITY is to remove the item or fix the price - THEN you can go back and start refunding people.

      I ordered two about 10 minutes ago, knowing full well it would likely be a refund situation - but figured it would be worth the opportunity juuuuuuust in case.

      • hiaaron on 07/01/2022 - 12:35

        Koshinto must be talking about Auspcmarket order. Mine got canceled as well. They fixed their price before processing refunds.

          100% agree, unless they honour the price.

          At least AusPcMarke have fixed the price and started cancelling/refunding.

          No reason for i-Tech to delay processing the order (would hate it if two days later, they send an update that there was a price error and orders canceled). If its price error, then cancel and refund immediately.

  • spaceox on 07/01/2022 - 12:38

        I have placed two orders and got the error both times. Look like there is a refund in my bank account. Or atleast, the pending order got cancelled.

    Not sure why this has been voted up so highly - this is very clearly not going to be honoured by the retailer. They have a long and documented past history of pricing errors and cancelling orders as a result, to the point where one wonders if they're doing this deliberately for PR.
