Just what I was looking for, ordered one.

However since they are “on order” items, and clearly a pricing error, I’m expecting my order to be cancelled soon as they don’t have to stock to ship anytime soon. But oh well, let’s try…
- Monk on 02/12/2020 - 19:09
  
  Last time JB had a pricing error for me they gave me vouchers for every product that had a problem.
  - apas023 on 02/12/2020 - 19:10
    
    Vouchers? As in they cancelled the order and gave you like $100 or something?
- mattk1 on 02/12/2020 - 19:16
  
  Also what I was after - worth a shot!
Monk on 02/12/2020 - 19:11

I ordered about 6 keyboards and 6 mice (Razer) that were obviously mistakes and got vouchers for each one. Maybe about $170 plus refund. Pretty weird.
A bunch of people on GPForums got them.

Edit: opps this was supposed to be a reply to apas023

jiriteach on 02/12/2020 - 19:11

Did they not refund your money?
- Monk on 02/12/2020 - 19:12
  
  Yes got the refund as well.

anyone try to price match with noel leeming?
- ABCDEFG on 02/12/2020 - 19:21
  
  This gave me a genuine chuckle. Someone have a crack and post Noel's response.

        @doubledippps: I did via chat.
      - BJ on 02/12/2020 - 19:43
        
        @doubledippps: Online via chat also. In-store would probably be your best bet to get it matched although it sounds like its also a backorder from Noel Leeming so not sure if that would work

      I'm sorry, they have limited stock. They only have 90,000 of them so are limited to that number. /s

UnitedWeFall on 02/12/2020 - 19:42

Yeah I don't see it happening guys. Margin for retailers on Surface products are about 10%. They'd be losing quite a lot of money!

  voucher for what?

    Gift voucher for cancelling the order

      2 years ago for an unrelated purchase and pricing error.
- Detruire on 02/12/2020 - 20:48
  
  No. I've made several orders which JB has cancelled, and they only provided gift cards one (the same sale that @Monk mentioned). Of the other two times, one was an obvious price mistake and the other was a genuine sale that they oversold.
quebec on 02/12/2020 - 19:57

Ordered. So is there no way JB will honour it as I only did it for the voucher :)?
- fofokaka on 02/12/2020 - 20:01

EEEEK. Feeling a little, well, aprehensive. Don't know if I should pull the trigger to try this out.

Is there any way this will actually go through??? I'll be pretty unpopular with the missus if 1500 comes off the credit card this close to xmas.

Bought a new macbook pro couple of months ago but this price is too good, bought one as a spare laptop
- bottomcoughs on 02/12/2020 - 23:27
  
  Pretty good chance this is a pricing error and will be cancelled. The black version has the correct RRP.
NovaAlpha on 02/12/2020 - 23:08

anyone tried to price match at Harvey Norman and PBTech? They both seem to have stock, so wonder what their excuse is for not doing a price match (assuming).
- Nil Einne on 02/12/2020 - 23:58
  
  Doesn't matter if they have stock if JB HiFi doesn't. Most price matching policies in NZ require that the item is in stock at the retailer you want to price match from. E.g. Noel Leeming
  
  Price Promise applies only to regular, in-stock product offered for sale from a New Zealand retail home appliance dealer. Excludes limited quantities, localised events with special event pricing (such as MASSIVE, Homeshow), trade quotes, stock liquidations and commercial quantities and parallel imported products. All New Zealand retailer website product offers will be considered where the product is the same."
  
  While this may not be totally clear in their policy, "in stock" means at the retailer or their warehouse rather than back ordered/allegedly stocked at supplier. Sometimes their staff may be more generous and price match on a backordered only price, but if their policy excludes it, then that's up to their discretion.
  
  Also I don't think Harvey Norman or PB Tech even have a guaranteed price match policy, so their excuse could simply be 'sorry it's too low/below our cost price' or simply no we can't/won't match that price with no reason given.
  
  Most retailers also exclude pricing errors which this probably is.
  
  (AFAICT, most people are only trying to price match because they're concerned it's a pricing error & so JB Hi-Fi won't deliver rather than because they prefer the other retailer or want Fly Buys or whatever. And if people want to try, that's okay. But it always seems a bit naff when people complain because a retailer refuses to price match when they're only trying because they think it may be more likely they'll actually get it at that price. To be clear, this isn't a comment on anyone in this thread, it's simply stuff I've seen before. Also it's true the reason given for refusing is sometimes poor/unsupported by their policy, so I can understand people complaining about that aspect.)

My cc through PayPal has been charged.
- SpiltMilk on 03/12/2020 - 08:50
  
  Has it, though? The terms and conditions say that they will apply a pre-authorisation or hold to your card for the full amount, but will only charge immediately prior to dispatch.
  
  In the event that they have actually charged, then I'd say you're in the clear, and that there's pretty limited scope for them to cancel now.
  
  But it will come down to whether the charge is a pre-auth or an actual charge. I tried to call my bank last night to confirm, but was on hold too long and had to have my shower before the hour of power was up……
  - ehh on 03/12/2020 - 08:55
    
    The charge to my card was initially just a pre auth/hold but that has since changed to a charge..
  - 1cmanny1 on 03/12/2020 - 17:22
    
    It has, but I think they said they would give a refund.
    So I doubt it matters if they charged or not.

I think you can get a decent i7 Laptop for around $1500-$1800 at PB Tech.
Don't understand why these Microsoft Surface Pro are so expensive normally (~$3K) - is it because of the convenience?
Hence, I didn't buy…
How much do you guys think the Voucher might be if your order was cancelled?
