Birdie Of The Day - Srixon Z-Stars and Z-Star X's

[timah!]

$68 for 4doz. Anyone in Bris want some? I'm going to grab some, but with $10 flat shipping, wondering if anyone else does too.

[timah!]

Never mind, just bought 8 Doz, $146 shipped. $18.25 a doz :D

[moree golfer]

If your selling Timah I'll buy a box off you for $20. Which model?

[timah!]

Z-Star X.
Wasn't really planning on selling, but if they arrive by Fri, i'll do you a box for $20. Still got more to get off Blakey.

[Captain Nemo]

Woooooooha!
Thats good buying!

[3oneday]

I didn't realise they were Golf Clearance Outlet. Anyway thanks for that, I was down to my last dozen.

[moree golfer]

Sweet as.

[timah!]

Woooooooha!
Thats good buying!

That's what I reckon. It's stupid cheap, considering most shops are still trying to flog them off at $40+.

[timah!]

I didn't realise they were Golf Clearance Outlet. Anyway thanks for that, I was down to my last dozen.

Yeah, seems to be the clearance arm of the clearance mob. Haha.

[3oneday]

$19.50 a dozen, you just can't beat that ! great ball, I owe you a beer 8)

[Captain Nemo]

I got them @ $29 on sun @ powergolf, was there a minumum you had to buy?

[timah!]

No worries!

[3oneday]

4 dozen

[timah!]

I got them @ $29 on sun @ powergolf, was there a minumum you had to buy?

It's 4doz lots.

[moree golfer]

The ZStars are cheaper than the AD333??

[timah!]

Yep, crazy.

[Captain Nemo]

It's 4doz lots.

Gotcha!
Yeh, last years ball, but who cares i rate them!
Play a better ball!

[henno]

I got on it. Great deal at under 20 bucks a doz delivered.

(Excellent. Most of my favourite balls are now superseded: TP Red LDP, Z-Star, HX Tour 56, et al.)

[Gomer]

Wow. Bloody cheap. :) Easy decision. Love these pills.

[PeteyD]

Damn. Might have to cancel the blakey order.

[timah!]

Damn. Might have to cancel the blakey order.

Honour in the pro shop Petey... :p

I'll grab both lots.

[Ferrins]

Woooooooha!
Thats good buying!
And you scoffed at my $26 price.

[henno]

And you scoffed at my $26 price.

That's probably because it's 50% more expensive.

[Webster]

Anyone else notice that as you go through checkout, to the page where you enter your details that it changes from 4 dozen to 2 dozen? Could be a mistake?

[Ferrins]

That's probably because it's 50% more expensive.

What's the opposite of scoffed, because that was what I meant to say. Still expensive for these suck ar^e balls.

[timah!]

Anyone else notice that as you go through checkout, to the page where you enter your details that it changes from 4 dozen to 2 dozen? Could be a mistake?

It has now, weird. Mine went through as 4 doz. Same as on receipt.

Well spotted. I predict issues.

[Ferrins]

Jibbed.

[IanO]

I just tried to buy them and it says 4 dozen zStar x for $68 but when I go to the checkout it says 2 dozen for $68. I need to fix this!

[henno]

It has now, weird. Mine went through as 4 doz. Same as on receipt.

Mine says 4 dozen, too.

[Baudwalker]

I just did an order using Paypal and have three emails all stating 4 dozen as the quantity

The paypal payment notification and two from golfclearanceoutlet advising order is pending waiting for payment

Be interesting to see what transpires

[live4golf]

140 for 4 dozen as the original price? - I am sure they meant 2....and if it says 2 in the checkout then that's what you'll get. If you got in early and it says 4 dozen for that price then they'll honour that and all power to you....you got a better ball for a better price.

[Captain Nemo]

And you scoffed at my $26 price.

Did I?
I thought you meant they where /asked if they where $26, apologies!

[MegaWatty]

Grab screen shots gentlemen!

[henno]

140 for 4 dozen as the original price? - I am sure they meant 2

Very good point. It's clearly a stuff up, which explains why they were cheaper than the AD333.

Noice.


Grab screen shots gentlemen!

Already done. ;-)

[PeteyD]

Bugga. Reckon they are quickly changing it back to 2. Blakey might be on again!

[MegaWatty]

Yup. Clearly a mistake. I doubt I'd hold them accountable to it. A mistake's a mistake.

[henno]

With the text as it stands, I think you'd still have a good case to answer if they only shipped you two. But it depends if you can be arsed with the argument.

[Ferrins]

They won't honour it.

[timah!]

I'll be making sure I get my whole lot. All my emails have 4 Doz.

Website now changed though.

Hmm.


I supergoaled Tapatalk.

[MegaWatty]

We have turned into America. Sue!

Last time I checked, they still put rubbers on the end of pencils...

[henno]

There is an order and a contract as such. I'll be getting my four dozen, dammit. I'm not buying a house; there is no cooling off period. Tough luck. :-P

[MegaWatty]

They can refuse to sell to anyone they want.

[timah!]

Bugger guys,

I thought it was a good deal at the time...

Sad Panda.

[MegaWatty]

It was a great deal...

[Ferrins]

Look at your receipt and that's what you bought, you will get a purchase refund opportunity and that will be that.

[goonie]

Still says 4 dozen on the website, I will go halfs on the X's with someone in brissy. Peteyd?

[Ferrins]

Go halfs with yourself cause half is all your gonna get.

[goonie]

2 dozen for the new balls and 4 for the old. Looks like they are just making way for the new ball.

[MegaWatty]

Just spoke with them and they are going to honour them for those that got in early. Especially the Ozgolf crew.

That's extraordinary service on their behalf.

[timah!]

Definitely changed now, Goonie. :(

[timah!]

Just spoke with them and they are going to honour them for those that got in early. Especially the Ozgolf crew.

Which number you call?

And yes, awesome stuff.

[henno]

2 dozen for the new balls and 4 for the old. Looks like they are just making way for the new ball.

Are you sure you're not loading from your cache or something? The text was changed back to 2 dozen some time ago.

[MegaWatty]

Which number you call?

And yes, awesome stuff.

You'll be sorted. ;)

[henno]

That's extraordinary service on their behalf.

I've bought heaps of stuff from them and all jokes and subtle jibes aside, their service has always been fantastic.

[MegaWatty]

I agree with that comment Henno. One of the best.

[goonie]

Just checked with another browser and still says 4 on the main page, and says 2 dozen and 4 dozen on the first page when you hit buy me.

[henno]

Just checked with another browser and still says 4 on the main page

Well not for me it doesn't. Are you looking at the AD333 perhaps?

Although the z-star-x still mentions Make-up: 4 dozen in the "Buy Me" page, but it's buried in the text and still says 2 dozen twice above that.

[markTHEblake]

I have seen this happen before with other sellers, Legally the seller does not have to honour these, it is not a contract. If they decide to cancel and refund you there is nothing you can do excepy cry about it :-)

[MegaWatty]

Hence why it's so impressive that they honoured it.

[braddles]

I just gave them a call. They are only honouring orders before 12:50pm when they updated the website. I started my order before then, but didn't finish until 1pm (had to take a phone call). They have offered me 3 doz for $68.

I might just cancel the order, as I can get the new Pro V1s for $45.50 per doz.

[henno]

Paypal Receipt: 12:37 PM

Awesome.

[3oneday]

At 12.28 - I feel happy :)

Doesn't mean I win, fingers crossed I guess.

[Webster]

I think it is disappointing that a few here are taking advantage of an honest mistake made by some good golf industry people.

[MegaWatty]

I think it's amazing that they are honouring the deal! I don't think many people knowingly went after the mistake. I think it was discovered after they had completed the transaction.

[moree golfer]

I think it is disappointing that a few here are taking advantage of an honest mistake made by some good golf industry people.
Do I detect a little jealousy Jack?

[henno]

I think it's amazing that they are honouring the deal! I don't think many people knowingly went after the mistake. I think it was discovered after they had completed the transaction.

I can honestly say that is true in my case.

[Webster]

Not in the slightest moree golfer. I buy a lot of stuff from these guys and they have been very good to me, and countless others, over the past few years. I buy ALL my golf balls from them as they offer the best competitive pricing in Melbourne. I would never take advantage of them if they made an honest mistake, but to each their own I guess.

[timah!]

Two things:
As I stated earlier, I posted this as I thought it was an awesome deal. At the time, I bought mine at the advertised price for the advertised amount.

Secondly, not to be a prick, but these guys had advertised the Cleveland/Srixon sale day (today) for at least a week. Which means they've known these deals for a while. As a consumer, mistake or not, things like this should have all been checked prior to advertising.


I supergoaled Tapatalk.

[Captain Nemo]

I say all power to you Tim!
Thats why its birdie of the day after all!

[Ferrins]

Eagle of the day for Timmy and a bogey of the day for them.

[bdoug10]

On birdie it says 2 doz for the z's and 4 doz for most others

[bdoug10]

sorry didnt check the other thread pages

[markTHEblake]

I think it is disappointing that a few here are taking advantage of an honest mistake made by some good golf industry people.

It is tantamount to stealing. I know that I used to think I struck gold when someone gave me too much change, but the bottom line is someone has to pay for the loss, and I would like to think that it wont one day be me.

[MegaWatty]

I think if someone tried to take it further, if they didn't honour the deal, it'd be an issue. The company decided to honour it and have probably earned a priceless amount of goodwill.

I supergoaled Tapatalk.

and these are the same guys that last week had shoes advertised at RRP of $129.95 when the manufacturers Australian site had them at $69.95. RRP

Made their 'reduced' price of $59.95 look like a massive reduction but from a ficticious inflated RRP

Seems 'mistakes' happen frequently there and not always to their advantage by today's effort

Swings and roundabouts they say!

[3oneday]

I have no reason to query the price, if I didn't post here I'd be none the wiser. If they decide to ship what I bought and paid for in good faith then I'm happy. If they decide to say it was a mistake and they refund me, I'm happy.

For a change, I can't actually lose either way :)

PS jack, their Victorians, I should care because ????


:lol:

[henno]

Thankyou for purchasing @ Golf Clearance Outlet.

Your parcel was despatched today.

Noice.

[timah!]

Same, hope they arrive tomorrow.

[Timmyd]

Just got my email to confirm it has been despatched. Hopefully tomorrow

[Gomer]

Haven't got my email yet. :(

[3oneday]

Got my email too, I still don't feel dirty.

[moree golfer]

Same, hope they arrive tomorrow.
So do I Timah. Looking forward to hitting a Z Star at Mcleod.

[timah!]

According to the AAE tracking, mine have been signed for by the wifelady.

Bloody quick! Top stuff really.

Moree, you coming out to City tomorrow? How do you want to pick up your doz?

[Gomer]

Just got mine then. Bloody quick. They also honoured the deal and got 4 boxes. :)

[henno]

Nice work, AAE. Sitting in my front office, see the van pull up, walk to the front door not five meters away, van drives off... "attempted delivery". Whatever you say, pal. It must be nearly smoko time.

[timah!]

W..TF! Some couriers are useless. I swear that's what used to happen at our old place.

[Webster]

In order to cleanse your souls, I think that everyone who has taken advantage of the mistake, generousity and goodwill of the seller should donate at least 1 box (and probably 2) of the 4 they received to the Ozgolf championships prize pool this year.

[Baudwalker]

Well mine have arrived in my hot little hands!

No paperwork .. just a package with 4 Dozen old model Z Stars (the new version has something like ULTRA WHITE flash on the box)

So now I will make every endeavour to buy from these guys as they shipped what they sold without a whimper .. not the norm from some these days

[Baudwalker]

In order to cleanse your souls, I think that everyone who has taken advantage of the mistake, generousity and goodwill of the seller should donate at least 1 box (and probably 2) of the 4 they received to the Ozgolf championships prize pool this year.

EVERYONE HWO HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE MISTAKE ?????????????????????????

I went to their website and accepted the offer that was made

Should they have contacted me and explained I would have happily accepted the error and taken the 2 dozen

They were big enough to honour what they offered and I will sing their praises long and loud whenever possible

I took ADVANTAGE of no one ... comprende?

[Webster]

So Baudwalker, is that 1 box or 2 that you will be donating to the Ozgolf champs this year?

[timah!]

In order to cleanse your souls, I think that everyone who has taken advantage of the mistake, generousity and goodwill of the seller should donate at least 1 box (and probably 2) of the 4 they received to the Ozgolf championships prize pool this year.

:roll:
Blah Blah Blah.
Clearly you are only reading what you want to.

As I've previously posted, at the time these were bought, the offer was 4 doz @ $68. The offer was then accepted. Simple. Nothing was done to 'take advantage' of anything.
Should a business wish to avoid losses, pretty simple checks can and should be made.
That's if you believe it to be a mistake. Perhaps it was the realization that their product was selling too quickly? Given the lack of correspondence directly I don't know, nor do I really care.
If something scans up cheaper at the shops, do YOU insist you pay the ticketed price?
At any rate, as customers, we are happy with our purchases and the service received. Which means that there is a chance of repeat purchases.


I supergoaled Tapatalk.

[Jarro]

Did they have any of the Tour Yellows available ?

[Webster]

:roll:
Clearly you are only reading what you want to.

No, I have read everything thanks.

That's if you believe it to be a mistake.

It was a mistake.

If something scans up cheaper at the shops, do YOU insist you pay the ticketed price?

Of course. Anything less than the correct price would be stealing



One good turn deserves another people.

[timah!]

But which is the correct price, the system or the tag?

[timah!]

Jarro, they did, but I don't remember the price.

[Webster]

But which is the correct price, the system or the tag?

If I went to the register with item in hand with the price on it, that is the price I would pay.

You seem to be confusing a legitimate discount with an honest mistake. Anyone who takes advantage of an honest mistake is prety dishonest in my opinion. But I certainly respect your right to disagree (so long as you dont shout at me in CAPITAL LETTERS.)

[Timmyd]

So what you are saying Jack, is if you went to K-Mart and purchased something you would pay the ticket price? Im sure we have all seen the Kmart adds on TV where they scan cheaper than whats on the ticket??? I can almost promise you, you would pay the scan price. None of us have taken advantage of this offer. like someone stated, they knew this offer was coming for a week, so really they had a week to look at the ad they had written and change this. No one has stolen, really we just got "Birdie of the day"

[Webster]

Firstly, I never go to Kmart, however If something at the register scans lower than the ticket price I would always ask " is that lower price correct" and if the answer is yes, then I will pay that. But if the girl says "no that might be a mistake" then I would insist that she be sure otherwise I would pay the higher price.

The deal that was originally put up on the site was a mistake, an error, it was never intended to be that price.

[Timmyd]

I do see where you are coming from Jack, but I do believe it was also you that said...

"Anyone else notice that as you go through checkout, to the page where you enter your details that it changes from 4 dozen to 2 dozen? Could be a mistake?"

By reading that, it shows you went to purchase some of the "mistake" item as you were in the checkout page where you enter details.

[henno]

What if you had already completed the transaction, Jack? Then went back to Kmart some time later and notice that they have put the price up from what you paid. Would you go to the service desk and offer to give them more money?

I think most (if not all) transactions that were honoured before 12:50pm were not aware at that stage that there was any mistake whatsoever. It wasn't until they started to change the details on the site that any of us noticed. In fact, if you hadn't mentioned it I would never have noticed.

[Baudwalker]

So Baudwalker, is that 1 box or 2 that you will be donating to the Ozgolf champs this year?

I'll donate the lot as soon as the Air Tickets and prepaid Accommodation vouchers arrive!

I need them because i could only donate in person to be sure that nothing untoward happened or someone was NOT taken advantage of

[Webster]

Timmyd,

I never had any intention of grabbing any balls as part of this deal as I have dozens of them at home. However, as I buy often from these guys and know what their price structure usually is, coupled with the prices on the first page of the BOTD site, it just didnt look right, and after looking into a bit further my suspicions were confirmed and hence I posted that it "could be a mistake"

Please understand that I do not begrudge anyone who ended up with 4 dozen when really they should have only ever got 2. I simply suggested that as most, if not all of you found out about it from this thread, and given the generousity of these guy who are a small business, not a K Mart, that some good karma could be passed on with a donation to the Ozgolf Champs prize fund. To each their own and you will do what you want to do of course.

Henno,

Your analogy makes no sense whatsover.

[Webster]

I'll donate the lot as soon as the Air Tickets and prepaid Accommodation vouchers arrive!

I need them because i could only donate in person to be sure that nothing untoward happened or someone was NOT taken advantage of

With an attitude like that, and a disconcerting lack of trust in those associated with organising the Ozgolf Champs, you might be better served at another golf website, perhaps ISG

Remember people, it's not what I think of you, it's what you think of yourselves that really counts.

[Jarro]

Remember people, it's not what I think of you, it's what you think of yourselves that really counts.

I think i just found my new signature

[ddasey]

I think i just found my new signature

:mrgreen:

[Webster]

I think i just found my new signature

No problem Jarro, I won't even charge you any royalties.

[henno]

Henno,

Your analogy makes no sense whatsover.

It makes perfect sense. You see a product, you think it's a good price, you pay for it; transaction done. You later find out that the price per unit has gone up, however you honestly had no idea this was the case at the time you completed the transaction (which is now complete as Kmart's policy is to honour it's pricing).

What do you do? Do you go to Kmart and offer them more money? Or give them back the extra pairs of jocks they gave you in honouring their advertised price?

It's an honest question; I'm not arguing entitlement here.

[Webster]

It's an honest question; I'm not arguing entitlement here.

It makes no sense in the context of what is being discussed here. I buy my undies at Rivers anyway - their price never changes.

[Eldrick]

thats it. im starting a "honour in the interwebs" thread

[henno]

It makes no sense in the context of what is being discussed here. I buy my undies at Rivers anyway - their price never changes.

I'm not talking about the donation to the champs. I am simply talking about how you would have acted differently, judging from these sorts of statements:


I think it is disappointing that a few here are taking advantage of an honest mistake made by some good golf industry people....


I would never take advantage of them if they made an honest mistake....


That's the bad karma bus working against you Henno....


In order to cleanse your souls, I think that everyone who has taken advantage of the mistake, generousity and goodwill of the seller....

My analogy is merely to ask whether you honestly believe it is taking advantage if you walk into Kmart, buy something at the advertised price to which they honour, only to return later and notice that they've put the price up.

[Webster]

Henno,

If Kmart had made a mistake with the original price and I became aware of it later, I would donate the portion of the undies to the Salvo's that represented the percentage of the mistake made. If the original price was correct at the time, then there is no issue. The point with the BOTD deal was that it was a mistake from the outset, later corrected. Rememder they didnt correct the price, only the number of balls that the price related to.

[MegaWatty]

It only counts if they were bought in a comp.

[henno]

The point with the BOTD deal was that it was a mistake from the outset, later corrected.

I can't speak for everyone, but I'm going to make the assumption that most of the people that bought the balls would not have been aware that it was a genuine mistake. I wasn't.


Rememder they didnt correct the price, only the number of balls that the price related to.


price per unit

Same thing, whether it be price up or quantity down.

But thanks for answering.

[Webster]

How many are you going to donate Henno?

[henno]

I always donate to the champs. And I'll donate what I feel is appropriate.

[dc68]

Bwahahaha...... I don't know where you get the patience to keep them on the hook Jack.

[PeteyD]

He has had years of practice.

[Webster]

Well played jack

[Baudwalker]

Cut it out you blokes I'm being serious here.



SERIOUS ... oops no shouting in case some are asleep ... serious indeed!

is that like Yahoo Serious (himself)

[Timmyd]

end of the day Jack, if any company had a problem with the mistake and they didn't want to supply what they had advertised, even if it was a mistake, they would have simply refunded peoples money. You seem to have more of a problem with it than the company supplying!!

[Iain]

Love your work Jack!!!

[Daves]

And what happens if they then offer the same balls on their main website for less money? or do another special at a lower price later on?. Should they then give everyone who bought them this time for more, a refund?

[jaybam]

Hehehehehehe

[markTHEblake]

End of the day you blokes found out about the mistake before you got the goods. The kmart analogy doesnt fit.

[3oneday]

$25 a dozen, anyone want any ?

[PeteyD]

is that shipped?

[3oneday]

Hang on, let me go edit that so no one feels guilty.

[Gomer]

End of the day we don't know if it was a mistake or not. If they emailed me and asked if I wanted a refund or 2 boxes as it was a mistake I wouldnt mind and still would be a customer. Don't try and make me feel bad for getting a bargain.

[Baudwalker]

I.m with you Gomer ..... when I made a mistake quoting to supply and install computer systems no one EVER offered me my money back.

I think the term they use is 'the cost of doing business'

They (BoD) required an email address with the order and had they asked / advised any error I would have agreed

Do I feel bad .... NO ... certainly no where near as bad as anyone that happened along AFTER the event

[live4golf]

here fishy, fishy, fishy, fish

[IanO]

I got a call from the Birdie of the Day guys last night explaining what had happened and asking me if I would accept 3 boxes instead of 4 for the same price. I agreed. I think it was great customer service that they made the personal call.
