sev3n Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've bought my 46X3100 on (27/12/07) from HN in QV Melbourne (paid in full), was told on Wednesday(02/01/08) that I will have to wait another 2 weeks before they get any in stock. Anyone else had to wait for their LCD TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else had to wait for their LCD TV? Funny that. I also paid in full for a 46x on 27/12. from Harvey Norman in Qld. I was told that they would source a TV from another store for me as they were out of stock. Found out Wed 2/01 that now they could not get it. I was told Sony had no more until February. Was going to get a refund until I found out Sony have extended the claim date for their PS3 deal so I am going to be patient and wait. If by some chance the TV does not arrive in time to claim the deal I will not be happy & will demand a refund.. Also now that the stock is so low I have found the shops that have them will not go anywhere near the price I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else had to wait for their LCD TV? Yep I'm waiting... wishing I could have it now really... purchased on Boxing Day, advised early Jan and last week told any day now, somehow I get the feeling it will be early-mid Feb like everyone else on the waiting list. As long as my PS3 is all ok, I'll be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who sold me the tv said the same thing mate, he was going to source the tv from other HN store, until Wed when they told me that it would cost them $120 extra to ship the tv from another store. They were not willing to pay for this shipping cost, I spoke to the manager and ask him if we can split the shippin cost. He did not agree and advised me that if I am not happy to wait til Mid January I can get a refund. It was a bad experience with HN, will never buy anything of em ever again. Checked from other stores (DJ, JB Hifi, Good guys, Retravision) none of em have it stocked, most advised that Sony will ship the 46X mid January.

Derek Charlesworth Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 damn the best price i could negotiate was $3500 from Good Guys for the KDL46X3100, how do you guys actually bargain to ~3300? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Charlesworth Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 WHAT: KDL46X3100WHEN: 28/12/2007 WHERE: HN preston HOW MUCH: $3370 for the set, $3670 total with 4 year warranty and next day delivery MAILED: yep 29/12/2007 STATUS: still waiting Do you remember who your sales person was?

VectorZero Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) Spoke with GG Maribyrnong on Friday: they're waiting on a shipment of 45 units, ~25 of which were already purchased. Still expecting mid-Jan apparently: I was told 2 weeks. I guess we'll see. Those of you waiting on a shipment, did you pay the full amount or a deposit? I'm wondering what Sony will say my purchase date was if, by the end of Jan, I haven't received the TV and thus still only have a deposit down. Edit: on the subject of HN shopping experiences, I had some surprisingly good encounters when recently shopping for whitegoods, but as soon as I went back to buy a TV, they were quite uninterested in negotiating any reasonable price and generally were pretty unpleasant to speak to. Of course, this was in the peak shopping period, so can't be too critical i guess. Edited January 6, 2008 by VectorZero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be suprised if it was just a sales tactic. Probably never intended on sourcing another TV. Getting your money into their till is the game. Once that happens you then go to the bottom of the list. Anyone else out there had a similar experience with these TVs since the promotion?

Fleminator Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Well, when i heard that HN had there 25 months interest free thing going on i thought i would go and check out some telly's, and agreed to a 40"W3100 for $2500 and was told that they were expecting a shipment the following week as the 40"w was sold out at the time (boxing day), its now the 6th and they are still unsure when the telly will be available to pick up, hopefully they receive them this week,(or so they tell me) but if that does not happen and the weeks go by i will be concerned about getting my claim for the PS3 in on time, because i still have to purchase before the 28th and as i am going for the interest free deal i have not purchased yet, need the telly to arrive so i can get everything sorted out, and just to make things a little more tense for myself, we are going on holiday on the 21fst and wont be back until the 4th feb so i hope this is sorted before i leave or i wont be able to enjoy my self lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolz Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 What : KDL46x3100 When : 06/01/2008 Where : JB HIFI Castle Hill NSW Price : $3400 + 219 for 3 year warranty Mailed : going to try over the internet before i get TV Status : Will update once received. I actually bought 2 sets and paid in full (one on my uncles behalf). I didn't ask for 2 separate receipts and am now wondering if I should have for redemption of our PS3's. I'll give sony a call tomorrow and see if I should go back to JB for another receipt, even though the receipt I have clearly states 2 KDL46x3100 's. The sales guy was very up front and to the point. He said do the deal today and you'll be right for the redemption and that it would be a 3-4 week wait which seems to coincide what others have been told or are experiencing. I figure it's a small price to pay for what seems to be a decent price on the tv. If there are any locals wanting a referral I can give you his name if need be.

I purchased a panel before xmas from HN. the guy said they had no stock, but rang around, and found that the Watergardens store had one. No alteration to price, no delivery fee. Nada. Shipping cost from store to store? i have never heard of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping cost from store to store? i have never heard of that. What the manager said was, they are losing money from selling the tv to me at such price($3450) and that they cant afford to lose $120 more. He said although they are under one brand (Harvey Norman) they are owned by different franchisee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the telly arrives this week and everything will be good but i just have the sense that it going to be a big pain in the @#$ lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PShawMan Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hey, My father in law and i went into Clive Anthonys(Mt Gravatt, Brisbane) on the 27/12 and both put deposits down on 46X's. At the time the salesman said they didn't have any in stock, but would early the next week. So it gets to friday the 4/1 and i call him. What do ya know! They can't tell me when they will arrive, apparently they have 75 on order from Sony. He told me NOONE had any stock. Which i confirmed by calling around everywhere looking to get one earlier. So i too am interested in any advance warning of when these Bravias are really going to arrive. If it begins to get close to the 28/1 i will have to take my father in law in and both pay out the remaining money owed to ensure PS3 delivery. Also i went in today thinking i would pay another $300 and get an XBR instead. But now there is no stock of those also. This is just killing me!

Dave32 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi First post so here goes. Just got my KDL40XBR from Sony Central in Prahran, paid $3389 but they are guaranteeing me a free ps3, even if the shipment dosen't arrive before the end of the PS3 offer! Seems like they are doing this for all their customers, as long as the purchase is fully paid for before the 28th of Jan. Can't wait... Free PS3 for me!

gaz_bris Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Hmmm, I posted this in the "hdtv prices" thread already, but it might be more useful here! What: KDL40X3100 When: 28/12/2007 (not yet delivered) Where : JB Hifi Price : $2820 (+ $279 for 5-year warranty and $45 for delivery --> $3144 all up) Status: registered on website, but not yet mailed (waiting for tv to be delivered...hopefully not too much longer!) BTW, should I be worried that I didn't receive a confirmation e-mail from Sony after I registered for the free PS3 redemption?

BertRito Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 BTW, should I be worried that I didn't receive a confirmation e-mail from Sony after I registered for the free PS3 redemption? Not as long as you took note of the registration code when you filled in the online form. I'd say your email confirmation has gone to spam or something, but you don't need it as long as you've got the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foggy Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Not sure how relevant this is to the free PS3 offer, but today I received my $100 rebate cheque from Sony for a camcorder promotion that I submitted in mid-October. These things don't happen very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
