        Yes because HN is getting only limited stock.. My HN store yesterday told me total 9 sets arrived and mine was 8th order so I'll get one today… 10th and all other orders after that will have to wait few more days/weeks for next stock arrival…

      • If they haven't called you they probably don't have the stock. Maybe they've forgotten, but I wouldn't waste your time going there only to be told there will be a wait.

      • -1

        why don't you just phone HN mate?

        • My phone was lost and replacement Sim hasn't arrived.

    • Did you receive an email or a small after they called you ?

      • only call.. no email or sms.. will pick it up this afternoon

  • +1

    I feel bad for those with stock issues. I haven't even ordered the phone, just called up yesterday to request they hold one for me til the 16th when I can go in. 'Yeah, no fuss.'

    Granted, this is in Cairns, much fewer people to compete with, but I was surprised I was able to delay for so long and not be told I would have to wait 2 to 3 weeks.

    I didn't get a call so I decided to call my store (Auburn Flagship) and they confirmed my Porcelain 256 is ready for pickup. I ordered Saturday 10/7 afternoon. Good luck everyone!

  • Ordered 256GB Black at HN Noarlunga SA on Monday morning and have it in hand after ringing them this morning.

    They only got delivered 4 black 256GBs and I was order number 4. Luck on my side.

    I cancelled the plan as soon as I walked out the store on Monday so if you're a little nervous about that, don't be.

    • Today my local HN had only 3 black 256gb after pre ordered stock. Sold already.

  • Just called my store as I hadn't heard anything yet. It's ready to pick up. Bay 256 ordered on Friday

    • what did you quote? did you quote them your new number?

      • Just gave them my name and what I ordered.

      • +1

        For me they asked for the invoice number on my receipt.

  • I went to the Broadway store to check on my order without receiving a call or email from HN. Sure enough, my order had not arrived yet, but there were already two customers waiting to sign up for a phone. The salesperson who received me seemed a little impatient, and even unwilling to answer my questions in detail~

    • What detail could he give you?

      • I would like to know approximately when I can get the phone, and whether I can upgrade to the 512GB version and change the color for an additional fee.

        • Its just a phone

    • I think one of those were me! I walked out with a 128gb in bey.

  • +1

    Just an update for those playing along at home: I ordered a 256GB Obsidian from Melbourne City HN on Friday 6/10.

    I called in to check if they had stock as the site says no stock, and they do (at least for pre-orders, maybe not for fresh purchases). They apparently texted me on my new Optus number, which in true OzBargain fashion, I'm not using and will be cancelling.

    Will be heading over there on lunch break to collect.

    Just collected my phone and now churned my Optus number out to Telstra.

    And churning out was so painless and fast, less than 5mins I am out at Telstra line. Best $2 spent ever (rather than going hours and hours on the Optus phone support).

    • I tried churning to a telstra $2 sim, keep getting an error on their online system at the last step 'something went wrong, please try again later'. It might have something to do with my optus account being messed up, unable to register it or login as maybe the email was used for an old account.

      These bloody telcos, rubbish systems.

    I called HN Castle Hill, and was told that my P8P 256Gb Obsidian is available for pickup. I ordered it on Sunday 9/10 around 2:30pm.

  • Picked up mine from HN Moorabbin. Ordered on 5/10. Watch not yet arrived though.

  • Called HN Sunshine, ordered P8P 256Gb Porcelain on the 9th, was told to expect stock next week.

    • I got the same message despite ordering on 05/10/2023.

  • Can I cancel/port out even when I haven't had the phone?
    The colour I want is not in stock and need to be ordered and will be available in a week.

    • +1

      I would say yes because plan is with Optus and phone with HN, but since potentialy you will have to pay for first full month charge anyway so may as well just use it and cancel before 2nd month.

      • Will porting out immediately cancel my optus plan?
        Never done it before :-)

        • +1

          Yeah, you will get the recent/1st month charge + early terminated fee. The bill might be generated right away or on later date.

          • @linhlink: How to avoid paying the $69 for the 1st month?

            • @almostfrench: Some people in here claimed that they cancel right away outside in the parking lot of HN and avoid the 1st month charge.
              Other claimed they still have to pay. So there is no sure way of telling you how to do that.

              I personally need the service to roam oversea so Im not going to cancel straight away.

    Just walked in to HN Broadway and signed up. Walked out with a 128gb in bey. They had two in obsidian left when I was there. So get on it quick!

    • +8

      There are 16 pages of people explaining the facts and reporting their experiences, what else are you missing?

        • +4

          Name calling, nice!

          We would also have accepted

          "My father will hear about this!"

          and

          "I want to speak to your manager"

        • +3

          You asked if anyone who has taken out this offer can report on their experience. When there are literally hundreds of comments of people doing exactly that and sharing if the deal worked for them, myself included.

          Nobody is being unhelpful, the help you requested is already here, you just chose not to read it and ask for a TL;DR

        • First day on the internet?

    I called and asked if my P8P (Bay 256GB) was ready for pick up and they said it was (Ordered on 08/10). I just picked it up and moved everything from my P5 to my new P8P. Thank you guys for this neat loophole! Also, the guy at HN gave me a free Cygnett glass screen protector for free… so props to him as well!

  • +2

    I just collected my Bay 256gb and they told me I was super lucky as I got the 2nd of 2 that arrived in this shipment.

  • Already got mine! HN QV in Lonsdale in Melbourne.

  • SA Gepps X store says they dont have everyones today

  • Got a text a couple of hours ago saying I can pick it up after 2pm. I ordered on Friday afternoon.

  • Just called HN and confirmed it was available for pickup. A bit irksome that they promised they would contact me when it was ready but didn't. Ah well. Picked up but now have stuck in meetings until end of day… no playing around with the new toy till later this arvo. :(

  • +1

    Reserved a 256G Obsidian yesterday via phone at Carindale QLD. Picked up today and was the first apparently.

    • If not too late, double check there is no cancellation fee

      • I'm going to call up again to see if the minimum cancellation fee is less now. If it's like $450 I'm laughing

        • This is what I'm referring to

          I was offered the $49 plan with a $20 discount plus an additional 10GB of data taking it up to 40GB in total but I would have had to pay the early termination fee, which if I hadn't specifically clarified I might have thought I didn't need to pay it. He was all about helping me with a new contract but would do sweet FA with the current $69 contracted plan.

    • Sounds very good, just check that they don't still send the cancellation fee as others said they were offered same deal but that the cancellation fee will still be applied.

      • +2

        I was wrong. Yes you have to cancel it outright before you can change anything. I'm just cancelling now for good

        • Good that you caught on early rather than having to pay $828 and get locked into another contract

  • +1

    Ordered two phones (Obsidian and Bay) for my partner and I on Tuesday 10/10 in WA. We both just got the call that it's ready now!

    • Great news! Which store was this? I'm in WA and ordered the 256GB Nay. Waiting for the callback as the store only received stored this morning. Apparently. lol.

    • Called ahead to HN O'Connor, was told I can pick it up but when I got there the guy said the cut-off date was the 5th for today pickup. Anyone else getting this response? Pretty irked now..

      I ordered on the 9th 256gb bay

      • Ordered on the 8th from HN Midland. Wasn't advised of any delays/stock issues at the time. Called this morning and was told that stock should arrive today. Awaiting a callback.

  • Anyone done the cancellation yet?

    • yes i cancelled yesterday by porting to telstra, prior to picking up phone

    • Just did mine now via Optus Chat. Fairly uncomplicated. Email confirmation arrived and service already down.

      • Any confirmation of cancellation cost or when you'll get hit up for it?

        • The agent confirmed via chat that it's $828. They also offered to keep me with a $10 discount for 3 months…

          • @ozbob: Good stuff, thanks mate. Only saw this deal right before I commented, and my local has stock so thanks to your info I'm gonna go grab one right now. :)

  • Just picked up..smooth as.

  • Just got a SMS for pickup, do we need to bring the HN receipt or would driver licence work?

    • +1

      Would you risk not bringing the receipt and have to go back to pick it up? Just bring both lol

    • +1

      I forgot my receipt, they didn't care and printed up an identical one on collection. All I needed was drivers license.

      That said, if you're more organised that me just bring it to be safe.

    • +2

      The guy who signed me up on Monday remembered me. I was looking at laptops and he came over with the phone and pickup invoice in his hand, handed it to me and said all good to leave.

    • +4

      was it worth it?

      Cancellation fee $828, chance they charge you the first month $69

      Total possible cost $897… profit per phone $103… less shipping and insurance…. What you make? $50 a phone… or 2 hours of minumum wage

      • +5

        And the credit check hit… ouch.

        • +1

          indeed 5 terminated early contracts

          • +1

            @fefris: I thought early termination doesn't impact credit unless you don't pay on time?

            So in theory (I could be wrong) he only gets hit once on this credit, buying 1 or buying 5 all goes under the one check.

            Not disagreeing with the rest of what you said though. For $1000 it's not worth it, time has a value too.

            • @Click_It: 1 hit of 5 x $1656 credit check tho

              • @CodeXD: Ah gotcha, for a few hundred bucks of profit and the effort invested… Yeah each to their own I guess.

    Well that went smooth as silk picked up my p8 pro 256 gig black from Harvey Norman Aspley this morning came home canceled have to pay $793 50 plus 69
    I'm very happy with that overall I did wanted to have the physical stock in my hand before I canceled.
    Cancel online on the app it was very straightforward he never even tried to railroad me into a different direction he did offer but I said I was an interested.
    Thank you linesman thank you ball boys game over.

    • I ordered mine from Aspley on Tuesday and received a text this morning at 9:37am that it is tasty for pick up (Bay 128GB).

      Hopefully no issues when I go on after work.

  • Didn't pre order, but walked into HN in WA at 9am this morning and got the P8P 256gb Bay colour on Optus plan. Out in 30 mins and will port the number later today to another provider. Transferring data now :)

    • Which store?

      • +2

        Ozzy Park. Doesn't look like there's any more 256gb Bay left in the state though. Plenty of Obsidian everywhere. Check on the HN in-store stock.

        • +1

          I walked into Ozzy Park today at lunchtime. Asked if they had any porcelins 256GB. yep no probs walked out but took about an hour.. No I dont want to change my ISP, no I dont want extra care..

  • Called HN Melbourne earlier and was told porcelain 256 GB is not yet available for pick up :( ordered on 8/10

  • Preordered a few days ago, went to HN just picked it up with them checking whether they still had my plan active

    • how did they check this and why…?

      • They checked my Optus account, and probably just try and scare me I guess? Don't know how they can just withhold it though if I cancelled…

  • HN Liverpool has 128gb stock. There's a wait for 256gb stock. Said they weren't expecting so many 256gb to get picked

  • Just picked up 256 Porcelain from Mt Gravatt

    In and out in 2minutes. Just show recept and licence.

    I called up and asked this morning around 10.

    • Haha thats sad for me wth! I pre ordered the black one, and I didn't even get an allocation today at the MtG store.

  • HN took down my old number for pick up, but ended up texting the new number. Lucky I had it set up in an old phone. I picked up my Bay 128, and I'm not sure about the colour. I probably should have gone obsidian, but oh well; it's something different.

  • +2

    HN Rothwell (North Brisbane) has all colours in stock. Had no issues on a new number, just cancelled via live chat for $828 after declining various attempts to keep me…

  • +6

    Just looked at Gumtree, flooded with Pixel 8 Pros, asking for RRPs mostly (or close). lol.

    • +2

      Give it a month or so. A race to the bottom :)

    • That's why I priced mine at 1000' quick easy sale and undercut greedy people

  • anyone had luck in getting first month bill prorated?

  • Went to HN and they had a shipment in. Wasn't planning on taking up this bloody deal, but arghhhhhh, sucked in again.

  • Anyone pre-ordered from HN Moore Park? any news?
