This is Australian Stock with Samsung 2 yr warranty. Limited stock available.

As always if you have any issues send an email to [email protected]

Enjoy.

Update 1: Just got more of the 8GB drives in stock, a new (better) brand this time though, so hold onto your hats come Monday morning. They might be a touch more expensive this time though…

Update 2: Unrelated, but we just dropped the price on our OEM WD 750GB drives to $48 for the weekend as well.

          $470, is a little optimistic at the moment.

          If you want to throw out some models and target prices we will happily look into it. But if the price you are looking for is more than 10% below the current market price it's probably not going to happen. We buy very well but we are not magicians ;)

          That is exactly the problem with Kogan, there is the implication that it is Australian stock when it is in fact a direct import from Hong Kong, so no GST etc.

      • wesker on 09/08/2012 - 22:57

        what are the differences??? you still get local warranty from the seller for grey import. Australian stock/local warranty doesn't mean better support especially the price difference is about $100.

        • wesker on 09/08/2012 - 23:07

          and you think you'll get fast response from Samsung Australia, so long you are happy with spending $100 extra.

          LOL thanks for the laugh that was a good one. No really.

        • wesker on 10/08/2012 - 08:02

          Where in my posts mentioned kogan? Both local and grey import takes time anyway so why would you want to spend extra? But no one is stopping you if you want to pay more.

        • atlas on 10/08/2012 - 09:25

          The person above you mentioned Kogan, and they would be representative of your typical grey importer.

          If you do some research you'll often find it's MUCH harder and more of a hassle to get proper warranty service.

          Samsung also gives you TWO as opposed to one year warranty.

          So yes there's a difference.

  • KLoNe on 09/08/2012 - 21:18

    At this price, can I assume this is the 'yet to be released', rumored 64GB version?

    Just kidding ;) This is a pretty good price for AU stock. 2 years warranty, yes? 16GB/32GB?

      checking the link, its 16gb. And Samsung aussie handsets come with 2 year warranty as standard…

    How about Galaxy Note? Notice your price is higher than S3, I am keen on the Note but Note 2 isn't far away……would there be a huge price drop soon with current model?

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 10/08/2012 - 00:49

      Most likely there will be a price drop, but nothing has come through yet, hence the higher price.

  • electric boogaloo on 09/08/2012 - 22:33

    Hard to understand how the aussie price is still so high. Grey import manages to buy from overseas, send a courier from europe, include an adaptor (for the different plug) and underwrite their own warranty for around $540. Now I understand no GST so add back $50 for GST still puts the price south of $600.

    Not sure who wins in this scenario. I would like to help out the local guys but not at the expense of my own pocketbook. Samsung doesn't win cause they still sell 1 phone. The government doesn't win….

    Surely it is in everyones interest that Samsung stops greymarket trade buy selling to the local guys at a price which is competitive with overseas

    Rant over

    • furythree on 09/08/2012 - 23:01

      aussie price the same as international price?

      Samsung sell them to a distributor in say HK, then they on sell them to a distributor here, who then sell them to resellers. If you can bypass two of these steps you are going to save roughly 5%-10% then take off the GST and import duty if it is being drop shipped and there is your answer. Not to mention double the warranty. If price is all you care about then this deal is not for you and that is totally fine. There is never going to be a way for Au stock to be identically priced to grey stock and still have local support and distribution.

      Look at the guitars on our site, the prices just utterly crush anything you can get here, in some cases by over a thousand dollars on the high end models. No local shop buying Australian stock will ever be able to compete with us on price, but maybe they will get a few people with the local support and being able to test out the item before buying.

      As long as both options are available people can choose and that is a good thing!

      • drexxx on 10/08/2012 - 11:31

        that was a really good answer flingshot. thanks for that. explains a lot and you are very diplomatic. i wish more reps had the logic like you do.

    • electric boogaloo on 10/08/2012 - 01:24

      My comment wasn't directed at anyone in particular just more a general observation I found it astounding or perhaps confusing that global brands do it knowing they are encouraging grey markets.

      If the Kogan model works as you say distributor>>distributor>>>reseller>>>consumer and they are all taking a compounding margin through the supply chain + courier costs what on earth do these sell for in europe were most grey market customers are reporting the phone orgininated (smaller number via HK).

      Based on my research this deal is at the point end of the market now thinkofus has suddenly declared they are selling AU stock.

      • Steptoe on 10/08/2012 - 07:16

        So thinkofus has GST in their price, and Samsung warranty?

      • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 10/08/2012 - 07:50

        There is exactly 0 chance that they are selling Australian stock at $548…

        • electric boogaloo on 10/08/2012 - 09:36

          Never said they were. But they are now selling it $9 cheaper than you. Will you beat it? if not I am sure this deal will be down voted as it isn't the cheapest deal

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 10/08/2012 - 13:45

          If they had stock we would match it, but the reality is they could change their price to $500 right now but with no stock it is pretty meaningless.

      • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 10/08/2012 - 07:53

        And my point was kogan or any grey market vendor does not have the same costs, they buy direct from a distributor in Europe or Asia, then sell direct to consumers here. That bypasses the markup of an Australian distributor and or wholesaler.

        • electric boogaloo on 10/08/2012 - 09:38

          I know that…my point is why the markup for AU distributors. I don't need you to answer because the manufacturers themselves cant justify it

        • drexxx on 10/08/2012 - 11:32

          because to get the phone here via all the distributors/resellers etc - everyone needs their piece of the pie and thus the markup

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 10/08/2012 - 18:37

          If you are asking why does the manufacturer sell to Australian Distributors at a higher price, the answer is generally they don't. But by the time it gets here and import duty, GST, Shipping costs etc etc have been added you have a higher price. Volume also plays a big part in this like it or not our market is quite small and far away from major distribution centers which doesn't help.

          There is also the cost of doing business in Australia. Wages for example, in the US you can pay someone 15k a year to work in a warehouse, good luck finding anyone willing to work for that here.
