      HN put one on for me, they have some machine that does the zagg isod ultra clear screen protectors. came out sweet. was $49

    • hardcoreshilling on 12/10/2023 - 17:27

      Universal Phone Store. $10

      Samsung one, but it fits

    • Click_It on 12/10/2023 - 22:13

      This won't help you now, but I'd advise buying some cheapies on Amazon (or eBay). I got some the other day for about $12 with included lense protectors, next day delivery. It's always good to have spares as they inevitably do their job and crack in time.

  • zb c on 12/10/2023 - 17:25

    When i picked mine up, they wanted to refund me $1 lol

    I paid $100 for 256, when I went to the register to finalise the order as processed, the sales guy said is $99, not $100….

      It's pretty simple if you just read the post, but…

      Step 1: Enter Harvey Norman store.

      Step 2: Say you want to buy a Pixel 8 Pro with the $69 Optus plan. They'll know exactly what you're talking about.

      Step 3: Sign up for the plan and receive the phone.

      Step 4: Cancel the plan in the car park. Don't delay, you'll be paying more if you do.

      Step 5: Pay the Optus bill.

    Just picked up from my phone from the Auburn "Flagship" store, however it seems the Wiley Park store has not yet received stock, My partner pre-ordered the day before I did, and nothing :( - Has anyone here received their pre-orders from Wiley Park?

        That is no good at all! - just called and asked if they have any P8 Pro's available to purchase outright, apparently no stock, however they did mention they have stock of the normal P8 (non pro).

        @Okayy, out of curiousity, how do you know they have stock for sale?

            @Okayy: I just called Wiley Park, and the staff member said they have Outright stock, and apparently the plan stock is different, they will be calling me back in 5-10 min otherwise I'm heading in store to dispute it in person.

            That is absolute BS ….. Will keep you posted !

  • JuryWheel on 12/10/2023 - 17:35

    So the morale of the story is to not pre-order but instead wait until the release day, call around and find a store with it in stock so you can go and collect and cancel Optus 30 mins later (avoiding the first $69)…..?

    • dongltron on 12/10/2023 - 17:38

      You could definitely pre-order, but yeah, you've got the gist.

    • RedOrangutan on 12/10/2023 - 17:55

      I should have done this.. not pre-ordering and still having to wait

  • haydent on 12/10/2023 - 17:41

    Cheers OP! I haven't seen any anyone else say about a $150 gift card but my guy gave me one of those too. Although I paid $99 for the zag. Still pumped

    • zb c on 12/10/2023 - 17:41

      You got the $150 bonus gift card as well?
      Nice, your lucky.

      I dont think anyone got it

      • haydent on 12/10/2023 - 17:43

        Yep. Sales guy was walking me toward the cashier and said "oh yeah, you get the$150 gift card too" then told the cashier "it started today" 🤷

          Right…

          Most people pre-ordered. So if you go in today and do the transaction, you get $150 gift card

        • id on 12/10/2023 - 17:58

          u just lucky person was misinformed. I queried that 150 gc and they said it was for an outright purchase of the phone.

        • dongltron on 12/10/2023 - 18:04

        Uh oh, we've got a HN rep in here now!

        Is it true that HN stores with no stock are not taking any more orders? Some stores are also refusing to provide this deal on new number, only port in?

        • dongltron on 12/10/2023 - 18:08

          Gah, you beat me to question 2!

        • Associated[Deactivated] @ Harvey Norman on 12/10/2023 - 20:24

          hahahahaha
          weird that stores arent taking orders, its a sale.

          stores avoiding new numbers know that the deal got ozbargained, they think port guarantees no cancellation

      • Purepwnage2 on 12/10/2023 - 18:59

        Hypothetically…… is it possible to cancel the gift card in retrospect now that it has already been provided?

        • Associated[Deactivated] @ Harvey Norman on 12/10/2023 - 20:31

          doubt it,
          salesperson thought what they did was ok so probably wont get to their managers. and if it did i doubt they would care and probably would just eat the loss

    • DK307 on 13/10/2023 - 10:16

      Nice! Did you pre-order or sign up that day? I got the $550 gift card for pre-ordering the phone and watch bundle.

  • mikey26 on 12/10/2023 - 18:00

    Does anyone know if I can port my number out to this plan at the store without my current phone? I lost my phone a week ago and Dodo still hasn't sent me a new sim.

    I want to order asap but not sure if its possible without active Sim. Can they do it just by identifying me?

    Thanks in advance

    Extremely annoyed so I ordered the phone on the 8th October and the sales guy told me it will be ready for pickup on Friday. I gave a ring today to see if i could pick up earlier and now they’re telling me mine isn’t ready and I have to wait 3-4 weeks. 😡

    • dongltron on 12/10/2023 - 18:08

      Oh well, you got a half price phone. Surely you can wait a few weeks. Stock shortages happen.

      • Fulcrum35 on 12/10/2023 - 18:10

        It’s not so much that I just hate when someone says something and it doesn’t happen. I prefer people be straight up with me and tell me that it will prob take 3-4 weeks.

        • dongltron on 12/10/2023 - 18:12

          I don't think they intended to lie to you. Employees often don't know how much stock they're gonna get. More customers than phones? Delay.

      That sucks man. I didn't even pre order and just went in today and picked one up.

  • Purepwnage2 on 12/10/2023 - 18:17

    Anyone else get the gift card?

    • dongltron on 12/10/2023 - 18:36

      Why, did you? There has been one other report of that. Maybe some communication error between some stores, because that should NOT be happening.

      • Purepwnage2 on 12/10/2023 - 19:00

        If that should not be happening then my answer is no….. I did not 😇

        • dongltron on 12/10/2023 - 19:04

          Haha lucky you. Hoping I don't get the gift card either! That wouldn't be okay and I would really hate if they gave me $150 I shouldn't have!

  • Donkabei on 12/10/2023 - 18:19

    Harvey Norman employee called me saying the box had sustained significant damage during transit and opened the box to assess its condition. Unfortunately, it was found that the screen had a crack in it :(

    HN rep said that he is going to try source another P8P from another store. 😭😭

    • tighty on 12/10/2023 - 18:24

        Adelaide City Cross, not sure what store they will source it from though

    • Geras9 on 12/10/2023 - 18:31

      I'm in the same boat. Porting is not working… How did you manage to get the 49$ plan? Did they offer you that for all the hassle?

        • Geras9 on 12/10/2023 - 18:36

          How much data is included?

        • Geras9 on 12/10/2023 - 18:37

          Can I ask who were you porting from.??

        • dongltron on 12/10/2023 - 18:37

          I'm assuming no, but if you cancel will you get the phone for even less?

    • mikey26 on 12/10/2023 - 18:42

      Confirm with them that cancellation fee won't be charged as they seem oblivious to realising this is not helpful if they sting you with this fee.

      Others here have commented that the fee still applies but we're only told after confirming with the rep.

  • TheRealCher on 12/10/2023 - 19:23

    Actually had a great experience in Toowoomba. They were very understaffed and yet took their time, didn't try to oversell etc. They only have the black left in the 256g.

  • Reality91 on 12/10/2023 - 19:29

    Got a 128gb from Castle Hill this afternoon. Ordered processed at 5pm and cancelled before 6pm. The poor retentions team member was genuinely confused and asked me to clarify what the situation was after I successfully cancelled the plan 😂 Then proceeded to congratulate me on a great bargain! $828 - done deal!

    • haydent on 12/10/2023 - 20:16
      +1

      I don't get all the cancelling. After you take that fee, it averages at about $30/month for the two years for 100gb

      • chulbul on 12/10/2023 - 20:29

        I am using this sim now and even at full range, data speed sucks.

        Have to cancel it, can't live with this stupid provider.
        There are dropouts every now and then. Either they have bad infra or too many customers. Either way, NO from my side.

        • haydent on 12/10/2023 - 20:45

          Fair enough. I'll give it a little while and can always cancel then if I don't like it

      • Reality91 on 12/10/2023 - 21:17

        Already have a Optus service. Couldn't get my number transferred across

      • anonymouscapybara on 13/10/2023 - 02:30

        I totally am with you on this one, I'm not sure why everyone is cancelling unless their usage keeps them under $30 a month. I use about 40GB a month, and the best plan I could really find is the $39 student plan from optus, or vodafone price matching it with the retention team. It works out better for me to stay on the plan, than to get the phone "half price" and go find another simo plan.

        • aeoz on 13/10/2023 - 09:34

          Nah mate, I'm on $19/m 5GB/m with Belong (grandfathered). Don't really use much since I have Wi-Fi at home. I'm sure you can get a similar deal with the yearly plans on other MVNOs

          • anonymouscapybara on 13/10/2023 - 12:09

            @aeoz: Hence why I said it probably isn't worth cancelling unless you spend under $30 a month!

          • neonlight on 14/10/2023 - 07:00

            @aeoz: Yeah I think even on boost you can get deals around $200 a year, so two years is $400

            Termination fee + $400 still cheaper

            There’s no way this phone will be under 900 likely end of next year

        • neonlight on 13/10/2023 - 21:40

          If you get Boost or Woolworths mobile I believe it’s cheaper.

          • anonymouscapybara on 14/10/2023 - 00:44

            @neonlight: I haven't seen any plans that offer close to 500GB a year (for my usage), and have decent roaming options as I do travel frequently.

      • Click_It on 13/10/2023 - 01:30

        This is the case I want. I emailed them a few days ago asking if they have it in stock yet and I've not heard back from them. It's going to cost about $80 AUD so for that I'd like to have some indication if I'm getting it in 2 weeks or next year.

        But it looks the goods. Get a little magnetic card holder and you won't ever need a wallet again too.

        • Chippps on 13/10/2023 - 03:13

        • dsiritz on 13/10/2023 - 07:05

          I pre ordered this case and bought the <$10 clear case off Amazon while I wait. $100 spent on case and screen protector and I don't even feel bad because we got the ripper HN deal.

          • Chippps on 13/10/2023 - 14:05

            @dsiritz: DBrand got back to me today. They'll begin shipping 'later this month'.

            I might bite the bullet soon too. It's basically identical to the cheap case I now have, but won't yellow and has the Magsafe part. Apparently, all the iPhone accessories (card wallets etc) are a perfect fit too if that's of benefit to anyone.

  • b0cky54 on 12/10/2023 - 21:42

    Hi all,

    I just did the Harvey Norman it deal, it works. Here is my experience… step by step

    1. Went to Harvey Norman and asked for two Pixel 8 Pros on the $69 plans

    2. Asked for two new numbers, the guy was weird with me as he said they had no stock, then I checked and I went to walk out and becuase Chadstone and Springvale were showing, then after acting weird he pulled two Pixels out from back. It was very strange how he lied to me.

    3. Signed up for the plans and confimred the payout for the plans was $828 per plan if I cancel right away.

    4. Once I got hom with the phones I jumped straight on the Optus app and cancelled the plans, after they tried to convince me to stay. Next is the tricky part people may not tell you.

    5. After confirming I had cancelled the plans, they tried to charge me $69 per plan on top of each $828. I said this is not right as I only just signed up the plans and had not used the SIMS.

    6. After the Optus robot/person? spoke to their supervisor, they then waived each $69 monthly fee for each plan, and applying the credits ot my account.

    7. Final bill will be $828, or in my case $1656 for two plans.

    8. You can sign up to 5 plans per person.

    9. Enjoy your $828 Pixel 8 Pro 128GB.

    9b. You can pay an extra $300 upfront for the 512GB as well, if you want to pay $828 in bill form, and then the $300 upfront. Making it a good deal for all you 512 lovers.
