    Has anyone else seen the iPhone 6s 16GB on vikingdirect.ie for €552 including vat and delivery?? I contacted them an they said the price is correct and it is a genuine product and is posted direct from Apple, it still seems to good to be true considering the iPhone 6 is there also and it's more expensive

    I always say the same!! If it was on a never heard of website I wouldn't take a second glance at it, but it's the fact that's it's on a well recognised website and I know people who have bought bits and pieces off them before (mostly stationary stuff).. I thought somebody on here might have bought 1 off them at some stage

    This has happened before with TV's and from memory they had to honor the deal...... Lucky few people me thinks!

    Definitely weird as the same phone is 761.74 Euro on the UK site


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 94 ✭✭illingworth22


    I wonder if they have put them on as the UK price and not done the conversion? Just ordered one :) happy days if it arrives


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,323 ✭✭✭davo2001

    I'd say that's correct. €449 ex VAT on .ie £449 ex VAT on .co.uk

    Did they charge you the price advertised or converted?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47 Edwardguire

    I'm after ringing them and the woman I was talking to couldn't give me a reason as to why it's that price, she put me on hold until she talked to the production team an still couldn't give me an answer as to how it's so much cheaper than the older iPhone 6!! She took my number and said she will get back to me tomorrow, she also said it has to be genuine as otherwise they'd be done for false advertising!!! What was your account debited? 552euros??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,527 ✭✭✭Masala


    Its a 16GB???

    Can't see the equivilant cost of a 64gb?? Is there a 64gb 'bargain' ??/

    Yes

    This won't be honoured. Staff just don't understand / don't realise what's happening and it's only a matter of time before abnormal orders come in which flags up with decision makers.

    Brace yourselves for disappointment. Particularly OP who should have stayed quiet until his order had been shipped.

    There are free gifts available if you spend 125€ or 150€. You need to add it to the basket

    Why would you ring them and notify them of the mistake, even inadvertently? Never ceases to amaze me that people do this. NEVER.

    The same bright spark that seen it in the first place!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 435 ✭✭diograis


    I wonder would it be worth our while to even bother

    Might have been had "someone" not rang them. No harm in trying but it is unlikely to be honoured now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 197 ✭✭bodhi085


    Got the 6s plus 128gb sitting in the basket.. Hesitating on pressing checkout. €808 compared to €1089 on Apple site.

    Just do it. You have nothing to lose if you genuinely want it. They will either honour it and you get the phone, or they will refund you fully and you won't.

    They can't charge the €1089 price to your card without checking with you first so again, you have nothing to lose.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 461 ✭✭gillamandango


    It will bring you the wrong phone unless your ordered the 16gb or 64gb ;)
