Yes I know that Nexus 7 32GB available on Google Play Store in Australia, but buying directly means $299 + $19.99 delivery = $318.99. Even if the price is GST included, you can get a legitimate tax invoice from Google and you can claim back the GST amount (as a business, or TRS), it's still $290. Yeah I know it sucks looking at Google Play US store selling it at USD$249.

B&H Photo Video happens to also sell them at USD$249, and they will also do delivery to Australia for USD$38.86 (they have free US shipping — I wonder whether there are cheaper forwarder there). That comes down to USD $287.86 delivered, or around AUD $277.08 (depending on your credit card exchange rate).

I guess we all know the product (Wikipedia Link) — 7" 1280x800, 1GB RAM, 32GB storage, Tegra 3 at 1.3GHz.

Edit: I am sure this tablet will come down in price very soon here as well because of the release of Nexus 10, but ASUS Transformer Pad TF700 WiFi is USD$488 on B&H Photo Video and ~AUD$514 delivered to Australia.

Edit 2: With B&H, additional items are at cheaper delivery charge. So (all in USD)

Count Delivery Charge Overall Cost Unit Cost
1 $38.86 $287.86 $287.86
2 $52.06 $550.06 $275.03

Too bad the maximum per transaction is 2. But if you buy 2, each would be USD$275.03 ~AUD$265.

    Great Price. Have only ever had good experiences with BHPhotoVideo too. Hopefully they will undercut the Nexus 4 too :)

    • cannedhams on 31/10/2012 - 15:44

      Be bloody good if they could undercut on the Nexus 4. I love the look of that phone but the $50 Aussie markup chafes me somewhat. Even not paying the postage would get me across the line.

      • mickeyjuiceman on 31/10/2012 - 16:16

        That it isn't actually a $50 Australia tax is irrelevant to those wanting to whinge about it.

      • Gristy on 31/10/2012 - 20:43

        erm.. you know US prices at ex tax. take 10% off the Aus price and youll end up at about the same figure.

          As I've already stated in my post — Google Play AU price + $20 delivery takes away 1/11 GST amount, and it's still more expensive than B&H with $38 international delivery.

  • furythree on 31/10/2012 - 14:41

    is the nexus 4 google play exclusive? cause you could do the same thing technically if third party carriers stocked it (or buy from google play US and send to forwarder and pay using 28 degrees mastercard for awesome win)

    • furythree on 31/10/2012 - 20:23

      also i should mention that if you bundle with an ssd its the same shipping cost

  • mlburnian on 31/10/2012 - 14:42

    thanks for posting. do they ship direct to AUS or do we need forwarding? sorry, at work and dont have time to peruse the details

    • scotty on 31/10/2012 - 14:43

      B&H Photo Video sends directly to AUS. I was just wondering whether there are forwarding company that can do cheaper. However getting B&H to deliver would be hassle free.

      from when I last used them (12 months ago), they did direct mail. They even mailed me a physical catalogue once a year about the size of a "Home Innovations" catalogue until I opted out of it.

      I got a TF101 shipped from them direct last year. No complaints. Asus warranties are usually global too, unlike Samsung.

  • OzzyMozzy on 31/10/2012 - 14:44

    If they ship from NY, I wonder if Sandy will be causing any delivery delays?

    • rohanp16 on 31/10/2012 - 14:52

      "Please take note: Due to Hurricane Sandy the carriers are not operating today, you might expect a short delay in receiving your order. By tomorrow October 31st, everything should be back to normal"

      • soan papdi on 31/10/2012 - 16:43

        Sandy or not, they shut down the online store (peruse but cannot order) for one day a week, the owners being Orthodox Jews and therefore observing Shabbath. So anyone in a real hurry should order before Friday EOB (NY time)

      I've always wondered, why do so many jewish people work there?

      I love their series of conveyor belts to send items around the shop so you don't have to carry them.

          It could be the owner is jewish.

      I'd like to know this too. I mean if we do have a problem with the product who do we go to and how do we get it fixed? Do they have a physical store like Apple or is it over the net?

      • soan papdi on 31/10/2012 - 16:47

        http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ans…

        The Nexus 7 is manufactured by ASUSTeK Computer Inc. ASUS provides a limited 12 month warranty for the Nexus 7. Please refer to the warranty card in the Nexus 7 packaging or review ASUS' limited warranty details.

        • If your Nexus 7 was purchased from Google Play, please contact Google customer support for service on the ASUS limited 12 month warranty.
        • If your Nexus 7 wasn't purchased from Google Play or you're looking for out of warranty repair service, please contact ASUS directly.

        This deal is from B&H Photo Video. They have a physical store in New York but none in Australia. Having said that, Asus offer global warranties on most (or all) of their stuff. Contact Asus Australia and ask if they offer warranty support for a tablet from the US. They probably do for this, and certainly do for the Transformer tablet that I have.

        • hhuy837 on 01/11/2012 - 12:35

          Thanks! So then we'd have to either go to ASUS or send it to ASUS to get it fixed?
          I haven't really had any good experiences with ASUS laptops and netbooks. I had to wait 3 months to get my netbook fixed, only to be told they weren't continuing the model. So I was given an updated model. Not really worth the 3month wait though.

          That being said, has anyone had any problems with the nexus 7?

  • bctransit on 31/10/2012 - 14:47

    comes with US plug?

    • Falbium on 31/10/2012 - 14:52

      Yes. But it's USB charging anyway, most people have plenty.

      • RADICALIST on 31/10/2012 - 15:06
        +5

        USB charging via pc is painfully slow.

        Charging through powersocket is much faster. Something to keep mindful of.

        • Merlict on 31/10/2012 - 15:39

          Many motherboards have a fancy high powered USB port that can offer 3* more current right? Might help

      • [Deactivated] on 31/10/2012 - 15:22

        Bare in mind that not all Micro USB cords will charge it. I have experienced this myself, have also read this in various reviews.

        My logitech g930 micro USB doesnt charge it, but the cord that comes in the box will be fine (suprisingly enough!)

        The charging plug comes in 3 components, a local adaptor, the charger itself, and a USB cord you plug into the charger, so you will really get a versatile USB cord. As per 'zomg' said though, charging via a USB port is ridiculously slow.

        • scrimshaw on 31/10/2012 - 19:33
          +1

          It depends on the USB cord's wire gauge, some cheaper ones have thinner wires that don't carry as much voltage.

    • jjjia on 31/10/2012 - 15:21

    • [Deactivated] on 31/10/2012 - 15:24

      Two different tablets for different audiences. People dont buy a 7" tablet because they cant afford the 10". I bought mine because I take it everywhere and read it everywhere. holding up a 10" tablet all day would get a tad uncomfortable.

    hot damn that's a good price, I was happy with ~$300 for my Nexus 7 16gb on day of release a couple months ago …the price of being an early adopter I guess

  • tryonthis on 31/10/2012 - 16:19

    Nexus 7 or 10? Questions, questions.

  • Ravensbane on 31/10/2012 - 16:32

    Apologies for asking here but just double checking but there is no difference between the old 16gb and the new 32gb besides hard drive size right? Like both have internals the same and running the same version of Android software etc?

    • randomuser645 on 31/10/2012 - 16:47

      exactly the same besides capacity

    I am sorry if this question sound stupid for those who are 'IT literate' if I am at a non Wifi location can I just buy a pocket wifi to access the internet ?

      Save your $50 and get the 16GB one from Officeworks.

    • walugi on 01/11/2012 - 08:04

      yes pocket wifi but then you might as well wait for the nexus 7 with 3G. It'll save you money in the long run.

      get 16gb if you just want to browse. or better yet just get a cheaper ainol tablet.

  • Ronnnie on 01/11/2012 - 05:17

    Officeworks online price is $268 and have no stock, but you might find stock depending on officework. Jbhifi will come down to $249.

    • rohanp16 on 01/11/2012 - 06:19

      Those are 16GB, this is 32GB.

  • Cap N on 01/11/2012 - 10:13

    Just calculated and realised that iPad Mini (32GB) is $180 more (before postage). Wow!

    Really show how much more value (from a purely hardware perspective) the Nexus is!

    • scotty on 01/11/2012 - 12:07

      I think it's just different strategies from two different companies.

      • With Google, they make money when you use the device.
      • With Apple, they make money when you buy the device.

      Although for those bargain-minded people, i.e. those of us on this website, it's not hard to see which one is more attractive.

      • superforever on 01/11/2012 - 12:59
        +2

        With Apple, they make money when you buy the device + when you use the device.

      • ProspectiveDarkness on 01/11/2012 - 15:40

        It can be extended to apps:

        • Google encourage free apps, because they have even more people using the AdService, hence more ad revenue.
        • Apple take a cut (~30%, IIRC) of the initial app cost, so they'd prefer higher app purchase costs.

        Hence, more free apps on the Play Store :-)

  • rohanp16 on 01/11/2012 - 15:42

    Naive question, but they'll only ship this from the 13th right ?

    • ProspectiveDarkness on 01/11/2012 - 15:46

      Indeed, they should only ship this after the 13th… unless they break the embargo and risk the wrath of Google.
      Edit: actually, it looks like the Google Play store is taking orders, unlike the N10, so maybe not.

      • rohanp16 on 01/11/2012 - 15:49

        Yes, it does say 'in stock' now on the Play store! Although, why doesn't the B & H one say 4.2 ?

        • dazweeja on 01/11/2012 - 17:55

          It's the 3G model that's not available until the 13th.
