FINISH30

Due to the success of their last 30% off site-wide promotion 2 weeks ago at Olympics opening ceremony, Deals Direct is going to run another one — 6AM-9AM next Monday 13 August. Coupon code for the day would be FINISH30. Yup, it's 3 hours only and 30% site wide so you better start looking around now and "note down the price".

Some terms and conditions:

  • Coupon not valid for purchase of gift vouchers or products on supermarketdeals.com.au
  • Coupon valid once per email address

On Tuesday they have site-wide shipping cap at $10, with exclusions apply to bulky items for some post codes.

Yup I made a mistake posting a wrong promotion last time, and it's verified this time (at least as I've been told). Also DealsDirect are getting back to me some exclusive offers for OzBargainers — that would be towards later next week hopefully.

EDIT: Shhhhhh… Coupon code seems to be working already.

EDIT 2: DealsDirect has disabled the coupon code as of 4PM Friday. Hopefully it would be re-enabled again coming Monday.

    Scotty, do you know if they intend to honour the purchases made before the code was disabled? (I am assuming/hope so).

    Do they bump up the prices? Any experience from last time's 30% off sale?

    • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2012 - 19:02

      no they didn't afaik. The SSDs (240GB sandisk) were $279 last week so with the discount $186 + del, elsewhere was $209 normal price. They don't have more this week (AFAIK).

      One bad product doesn't make the website bad, from experience Deals Direct has some of the best customer service of any Aussie based website. Next time research your purchase before buying.

    Great bargain but why only restrict it at 6am-9am? When u could have a whole one day which is better, that would be alot smarter, they could be making huge profit than only 3hour.. At 6-9am most of us are in bed.

    • eug on 10/08/2012 - 19:41

      With 30% off, they could be making huge losses as well. :)

        Huge loss with 30% off??? :-)

        • eug on 10/08/2012 - 20:24
          +1

          Possibly… the margins at 30% off might not be enough to cover labour, rent, insurance, etc. Especially with computer equipment like those SSDs, thinkpad tablets, and 3TB seagate HDDs.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2012 - 21:25

          I thought they were making huge losses the other week too. My guess is they are having trouble shifting old stock :P

  • DEvok on 10/08/2012 - 20:04

      i think they'd like it even more if you paid full price. ;)

  • chinaman on 10/08/2012 - 21:41

    Anyone want to wager that the "good stuff" just happens to be out of stock during the sale period? and then just happens to get restocked after the sale?

    Why are the Western Digital (green) 3TB 64MB SATA3 3.5 Hard Drives at a inflated price of $205?

    • MATTDAMON on 11/08/2012 - 18:49

      ?
      Thats their usual price. Least last time i checked earlier in the week.

      • chachi on 12/08/2012 - 00:05

        Someone mentioned that they picked up 3tb from the last 30% off sale for ~$122. B&M shops are around $169 currently.

        • MATTDAMON on 12/08/2012 - 09:32

          Yeah they were linked earlier, 3tb seagate externals, standard price 175, with discount, 122 + shipping.

    • scrimshaw on 12/08/2012 - 11:34

      Don't buy any tablet from DealsDirect.

      Poor lineup of tablets, inflated prices (refurbed even), and no mention of specifications on that one.

      • alwayslook on 12/08/2012 - 15:19

        Appears this is the Bauhn AMID-971R which is what Aldi was selling in May for $250. I understand that this is refurbished, but with the 30% off it will be $150 (including delivery). Is this a good bargain if I am buying it for a 3 year old to play at home? It is tempting to get the Samsung 7.7 from dick smith for $270 but not really interested in the 7" products as they might be too small for 3 year old.

      • [Deactivated] on 12/08/2012 - 21:56

          There'd be hordes of people waiting for the Thinkpad, and being almost out of stock I would guess there's <5 left.

          Most of them were sold when the coupon could be used early. I didn't get one in time, and don't think I'll be able to get it this time either

      Sorry to hear that, I must have just managed to get one. Lucky that I tried to get it earlier than 6 am and the code worked.

      I know how you feel, waking up early and then no cigar.

      Maybe Shopping Express will fix up their Epic Hour debacle from last night and you can get one from there.

      • AntMan76 on 13/08/2012 - 06:00

    has anyone noticed all the laptops that were at normal price(not the inflated ones) are sold out? I wouldnt be surprised if they come back in stock within a day or two. very cunny marketing. wasted two mornings to find a deal on laptop and both the times, the ones that may have been value for money were sold out before 6 a.m. Last time, they appeared back in stock the very next day. wouldnt trust them again

  • ironpaw on 13/08/2012 - 07:39

    I think if you get the expensive items you'd save a bit…but the shipping is a killer.

    I bought a Netgear WNDR4500 ($225) + Canon ink pack ($78) + Pet bed (15).

    Total $318. With the 30% discount it comes down to ~$222. But then shipping is $30 which brings it back to $252.

    According to Staticice I could pick up the same inks for $16 each x 5, so that's $80; the WNDR4500 can be had for $195 from MSY. Petbeds can be had for $15 from reject shop. All up $290.

    So in the end I saved $38. Not exactly earth shattering…

    • Twodogs on 13/08/2012 - 08:08

      Yeah as you said depends how expensive and what you buy .

      I checked staticice for the samsung 750D was $449 directdeals was $357 and the WD mybooks " bought 2 " are $144 on static and $105 @ Direct deals , so good bargains i think.

      Saved $169 in total …. very happy

    Hey guys,

    Cheers

    • rack on 13/08/2012 - 18:44

      No and don't give it to them. Ask them why? Where in their terms and conditions is this stated? Call ACCC and ask about your rights and if all fails then cancel the transaction but don't give any details.

      • azxtani on 13/08/2012 - 19:17

        It's from their Fraud Prevention Officer stating that:

        "This is to protect the security of credit card holder as the transaction was completed over the internet… If we do not receive a response from you within the next 7 days, the order will subsequently be cancelled and refunded."

        Seems pretty legit but wanted to know if anyone else experienced the same thing?

        • eug on 13/08/2012 - 19:51

          I've had to do that for overseas online stores before. They're just protecting themselves against credit card fraud. You could call them up and speak to someone to make sure it's something they generally do.

        • MATTDAMON on 13/08/2012 - 21:02

        Yep got in early on Friday.

        • highon2str on 15/08/2012 - 12:44

          Damn u did good! DD must be kicking themselves for activating the code early. They obviously intended to remove all the dc35s before the Mon sale. Just a presumption of course. Unless you can somehow convince me that the entire stock sold out on sat. And more stock arrived on Tues. :/
