RE: Cancelled

Did anyone else who ordered get an email earlier saying that there card details were wrong aswell?? I did and wondered if that was also a ploy to cancelling the order. Surely theres summat ya could do regards trading statndards about the price & they would be forced to sell you the item. As did a supermarket a few years ago when they put the wrong price on the internet, they still had to sell at the price they had previously stated

 

They can advertise at any price they want, all it is is an opening offer, you then make them an offer and then when both parties agree on a price they take your money and the deal is done.

In a supermarket this is done by them having a price label on the shelf, you then go to the till and the cashier asks for x amount, you accept that offer by handing over the cash, you could quite legally make your own offer instead and if they accept it and take the cash then you've got a bargain (it just doesnt really happen very often does it)

On the internet it's basically the same, they stick a price up, you accept that price (£10) and give them your card details, they take a look at it and decided that they didn't want to accept the £10 offer so tell you that they will withdraw from the deal without taking your money. They also make a second offer of £99.99 and it is upto you whether or not you decide to go for it.

Nothing illegal about it but whether it is morally correct or not can be debatable for hours. Quite a lot of people go with the theory that if it is a clear misprice then they are quite correct to withdraw, if it isnt blatently obvious then they should honour (some companies use the same theory as well). What really annoys me is the companies that will just send you an email saying its out of stock and then 2 minutes later its back on at the proper price. A little honesty would be appreciated there.

 

Old on, is it me or does it say its 99.99 and not 9.99?

 

rrr sorri didnt read all above

 

That may be true but....

....many companies have set protocols regardingdisplayed price versus price at the checkout.</p>

For example in Tescos, if the ticket price is not the same as the price at the checkout, they will refund the cost AND give you the item free of charge. There used to be a website specifically set up to alert people to discrepancies. I have in the past gone to Tescos to get 'free' items based on this - cds if memory serves me right.</p>

Obviously Play.com have a different policy.</p>

 

tesco have abandoned that policy

Just so you don't make a tit of yourself going up and demanding the item for free lol, they changed it to I think it is a double the difference policy where if the product is 2p more than advertised then you get 4p back (not sure though). Apparently the got rid of the R&R (refund and retain) policy due to abuse from people going specifically for free things seen on the net on the sites you mentioned.

Asda's policy is something like a £2 voucher if you're charged more than you should be.

 

Cheers for that

Good excuse to never go there again ;-)
