      mine got cancelled…WTF..

  • [Deactivated] on 29/05/2013 - 03:53

    Yep - mine cancelled too - email about 1/2 hour ago.

    It's the "Warmest regards" part that ticks me off the most.
    Warm my arse.

    Thanks for trying OP.

  • Wish on 29/05/2013 - 05:57

    I got the price error email as well

  • unity1 on 29/05/2013 - 06:43

    Got the same email. If it's a price error it should be fixed immediately. If a company lets it go unchanged beyond 24 hours they should be forced to honour a deal. At least we don't have to wait around weeks for a refund.

    Sorry the deal fell through guys.

  • darthhasbro on 29/05/2013 - 07:05

    Yep, same email here, no doubt everyone's order will be cancelled, I was half expecting this but it did take them over a day to work it out

      It was a bank holiday on Monday in the UK, so probably limited staff.
      They didn't send out the cancellation until after COB Tuesday though (their time), which IMO is pretty dodgy.
      I was skeptical Monday, so I actually rang their customer service in the UK, and they told me it was legit, so I ordered.
      Oh well, what can you do ?

        You tipped them off

        • Infraction on 29/05/2013 - 13:03

          Yeah I agree, might have slipped through the system unnoticed if attention wasn't drawn to it. They don't charge if they don't ship so there's no reason to call first, just order and hope.

        • Goldberg on 29/05/2013 - 14:27

          Yeah, Amazon wouldn't have noticed that it hit #1 sales ranking within an hour ???
          I actually rang to confirm availability, and up the quantity of my existing order at around 2am AEST.
          I don't think this deal would just "slip through their system unnoticed"…

        • Goldberg on 29/05/2013 - 14:30

          Yes, i tipped them off…i was the only customer that rang out of the tens of thousands of orders they would have received

          Yes, you were. Who else rings an overseas website to ask for their stock levels before ordering?

        • Goldberg on 29/05/2013 - 15:12

          Actually they were inundated with calls about it, and like I said, I was updating the quantity on my order.

          Now pmupsinep, you know i love you, i've always loved you.

          But you're off-beam man. Amazon UK is a massive site - they will have monitoring in place & some people will always call, simply as they have other issues when ordering.

          Whatever action they get through OB will probably be minor cf all those always-online Americans.

          Goldberg simply did the intelligent thing before placing multiple orders. The notion that you pay no price with a pricing error is also off-beam, as it's a hassle to reverse the charges etc if they had been made.

          Goldberg, i love you too, and i think you're on the money with the bank holiday observation.

        • pmupsinep on 29/05/2013 - 17:34

          Lol. I didn't for a second believe that he was at fault. I just found it completely bizarre that someone would ring an overseas to check stock before placing an order.

          Refunds from large sellers all over the world are pretty much never an issue and processed automatically.*

    I'm so sick of order cancellations, first the works now amazon damnit, I hate thinking i've got a bargain and having it taken away from me!! So what I want to know is did anyone NOT get their order cancelled? Have they cancelled everyone or just some unlucky ones because they oversold the stock or changed their minds or something ?

  • blah-blah on 29/05/2013 - 12:10

    strange that they had "This is part of our Summer Sale" on it when it was 7 pound, therefore seemed like a real price at the time, rather than a pricing error.

  • DEvok on 29/05/2013 - 12:58

    My order got canceled with out confirmation! They should give us compensation for wasting our time.

    Amazons gonna go bankrupt due to this! Lossing of millions buyers, shame in u!

  • DEvok on 29/05/2013 - 13:33

    Dx, eb games and now amazon, whats next? I bet many of us are gonna use amazon ever again.

      No, I mentioned above my order was cancelled too. After writing a letter of complaint they came back to me and offered free express post but would not honour the original 7 pound price tag. I polite declined.

      • Infraction on 29/05/2013 - 19:26
        +1

        I had a couple of other blurays in my order just to make use of the slightly cheaper shipping for subsequent items, and yeah similarly through emails and chat windows I managed to get the shipping on the rest of the order refunded because of the cancellation, best of a bad situation it seems. I really hope we don't keep getting these cancelled orders on good deals because it undermines the whole ozbargain community, so frustrating getting those emails.

        • ozshark on 29/05/2013 - 22:08

          I didn't get that response on my order - they just wanted to ship the other boxset I had ordered & charge full shipping! I ended up cancelling the order.

          I was pretty unimpressed that all I got was a "warmest regards" - like you I thought free shipping on the remainder of the order would have been the least they can do.

          It will take a bloody good deal to get me ordering from Amazon again…

  • LoftyAu on 29/05/2013 - 22:19

    Some pretty angry people in the review section on amazon.co.uk?

      Ahahaha, there's pages and pages of angry 1 star reviews! Everyone's spewing, not just ozbargain it was on some hot uk deals site aswell. It's good they deserve some heat for this, hopefully it discourages them from going down the cancellation route in the future.

    And now the spam from Amazon begins.
    I had created an account with Amazon for the first time to get this awesome price.
    Then they cancelled it.
    And now they send me an email:

    • phaselock on 30/05/2013 - 13:41

      Yeah,

      I just got that too.

      What is even funnier ( or worse ) is if you click on the offer the price jumps upto £22!

      That was the first and last time I am going to deal with Amazon UK.

    Oh good grief. It was a great deal on the surface, unfortunately it was a pricing error, move on. I mean really, it's not like it's a much-needed kidney transplant, it's a DVD set with old cartoons on it. I'd have been thrilled to get it at that price, but in the grand scheme of things it's trivial at best.

    • nsg on 30/05/2013 - 14:08

      Its not just that.
      Now Amazon has my personal details and my credit card details.
      Even though I am not their customer!

      That is not acceptable, which is why I never had an account with them before…

      Maybe this was just a ploy to increase their "customer" base, to cook the books or something…

      • SirFlibbled on 30/05/2013 - 14:32

        then remove your details. Personally I use Amazon for a lot of my online shopping. They respect the unsubscribe function and often do great deals.

        • nsg on 30/05/2013 - 14:44

          Yup, credit card details deleted.
          Have also requested them to delete my account.

      • Captain Obvious on 30/05/2013 - 14:35

        Seriously? A huge company like Amazon deliberately pisses off a large number of customers just so they can scam your credit card details, which they used nefariously to not charge you anything for the cancelled deal? Best plan ever.

          Hmm. Can never a trust a company. Especially a HUGE company.

        • Captain Obvious on 30/05/2013 - 15:05

          I'm not suggesting you should trust them, but accusing them of something nefarious is going a bit far.

        • nsg on 30/05/2013 - 15:15

          Many people called them up, and they confirmed each time that it was not a pricing error!
          And then the email about this being a pricing error.

          They lied.

          Genuine mistake = no problem. They can even keep my details.
          But if they start lying, it makes you think what else might be going on…

      Did the same thing - ordered a DVD on a whim since I was already shipping this box set over.
      Just went into live chat with Amazon and told them I was unavailable between the notification e-mail and the order being charged and shipped… they just refunded the delivery costs.

      Can't complain about that, I guess.

      • congo on 01/06/2013 - 14:18

        No refund or discount for me. Amazon just said to not accept the delivery :-(
