        That might be true, but that's the same thing all fakers say. No one selling fakes will ever admit they're selling fakes. In a lot of cases, they simply don't know they're fake. This is especially true of memory cards.

      I-tech is an expensive store!!!! They have intel 520 120gb listed at $200, whereas u can find greenboxit has it for 183, msy had them for 184. Even after the 10 dollar discount, it is still more expensive than msy or greenboxit.

      Certainly not a bargain on expensive items!!!

      The shipping should be something like $4… Instead its $14.

        I thought Bait & Switch was advertising X but, when you get to the store, showing only Y…

        This is more like the old "hide extra profit in the shipping" eBay trick, since forbidding by eBay, I think.

        (At least, you can report - when giving feedback - that you think they've overcharges for shipping… & eBay supposedly shakes a stick at the vendors who get "too many" complaints…

        Of course, by that time, you've already over-paid the shipping charge…

    Ordered an N40L before Easter - 29th March to be exact. It was in stock & I paid $24 for shipping to Melbourne. It took a week before it was shipped, then it got stuck in the postal system over Easter. Finally got it yesterday - 12th April, though it got carded for delivery a couple of days earlier.
    That's a Fail from me I'm afraid, even with a 'free' $10.

    Shouldn't there be something against linking ozbargain database id to i-tech accounts ids to avoid targeted marketing?

    • IVI on 13/04/2012 - 14:54

      If they spam us, someone will complain to OzB & they get a consequence, maybe.

      Do companies -pay- to advertise (er, offer their deals) here?

      • neil on 13/04/2012 - 15:06

        No, companies do not pay to post their deals and no one gets any preferential treatment. Deals can be posted by anyone, rep or not.

        It's up to you if you want merchants to know your details which can be matched to a publicly facing username. Are you thinking i-tech will be looking at an individuals postings on OzBargain and email users using the info submitted when registered an account with i-tech? Sort of like a manual Google Ads?

        • maxixix on 13/04/2012 - 16:16

          Either that or in a different scenario for example users post opinions about products wants/needs. The party with access to these individuals contact details would spam these individuals with same or similar products or sell the information to someone who would.

          Not saying i-tech would do so or are in that kind of business. But in general to avoid such unauthorised collection of market intelligence one would think the exchange process would be less transparent.

          Its like filling out a survey without being told that your personal contact details may be compromised or given an option to opt out.

    • korda on 13/04/2012 - 18:17

      Yeah, concerned here too :/

    You have misused the work "Bonus" in 2 or 3 of your HP N40L catalog listings..,.

  • Store Repi-techcomau @ i-Tech on 13/04/2012 - 15:31

    Sorry, being busy applying credits. To answer a few questions above. You can certainly choose pick up to avoid freight charges. I have already brought the freight charges up to our management and they're still deciding. There're definitely lovers and haters for this deal. I guess there's no harm in applying for the credit and use it when you see fits. In regards to the HP N40L listings, I've checked and there are 3 different distributors for them, hence the different listings at different prices. Please choose the ones "in stock" to avoid delays. We stand behind what we sell 100% and they're 100% genuine.

    • Trishool on 13/04/2012 - 16:05

      The management team are still deciding whether they want to actually give people an honest deal or rort them of $14 shipping? Are you serious? Great insight into the companies mentality from the top. Memory cards with $14 is not acceptable under any circumstance, it just shows dishonesty and greed. Better off you guys advertising this deal for Sydney and Pick up only rather than let others be turned off by this "deal" after realising the shipping costs outweigh the benefits of your offer.

      • sparkles on 13/04/2012 - 16:41

        You seem to mean well but am so tempted to neg this deal after this comment about your management. Profit should be built into the price, not creamed through exorbitant postage.
