When you don't have time to go on the treasure hunt
I love JB Hifi. I love the cheap items and the enormous variety all in one stores. I don't like the crowds and spending 20 mins looking for what I'm after only to finally see a staff member who tells me it's on the otherwise of the store. So with Christmas near I knew I couldn't mentally cope with a mad rush that is JB. I bought the batman trilogy online. It was cheap and over in a few minutes. It's did take 2 weeks to arrive but fortunately it was a Christmas present and I didn't leave it til the week before. It was still a better then the scavenger hunt and the waiting in line that was my less favourable option.
I ordered a tomtom GPS on jb hifi's website with 20% discount! they have various method of payment, I used paypal to pay for it.
because i have never purchased anything from them before, I have to create a new account, I have no problem with that this however has caused me to receive 6 EMAILS from them just for a GPS purchase
It's really good of them to notify every little step that they do and confirm it back to the customers, but I think customers should be able to choose whether they want to receive this information or not.
lastly the shipping was okay, not too late not that fast it took them 2-3 business days to reach my place
A beloved Australian store from the comfort of your own home.
JB Hi-Fi's competitive prices are only a few clicks away in their e-store.
If you do not have time to visit the store itself - the JB Hi-Fi website is the best option for quickly finding the product you need. JB stocks a massive range of items from movies to radios to iPads. Rare movies are also readily available from the e-store where they may not be easy to find locally.
JB Hi-Fi's prices range from average to absurdly cheap and they never stop having sales. Many times throughout the year the website (and in store) will have reduced price sales (eg. 20% off televisions).
Delivery is very fast - often reaching you in a couple of days. There is also the option to pick up items in store which is a useful option for larger products.
An anecdote: I purchased a hard to find blu-ray (Paprika) from their e-store (The only copy in my state was an hour drive away!) and recieved it two days later!
Overall JB Hi-Fi is the leading option for most media purchases. They ensure you will have your item in your hands speedily for a fair price.
Recently preordered Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm, the beta key was sent within a day. What's great is the fact that they will price match if the game drops in price! Shipping in the past has also been reliable.
JB Hi-Fi is great when it comes to range and products they have in stock but I often find the delivery side can be a little slow. If you are buying gifts make sure you allow at least a week to ensure they arrive on time.
I ordered a Garmin NUVI 5.0 for $88 to pick up in store. That part went pretty well, paying for it and getting email by midday to say it was ready for pick up, but getting it was very slow. I presented my email confirmation at main desk to be told to go to the side area. Then waited to be served there and finally when served, it had to be 'found' which took around 10 minutes. Then taken back to the main register- why? I don't know as it had been paid for? and took another 10 minutes. Other than that things went well, just very slow.
