Ok, so I ordered one of these as well. simply too good of a deal not to I think. As previously mentioned, can always SLI it later if need be. I'll post again if i get a dispatch note.
Been waiting and waiting for ages to upgrade my 8800GTX. was and SLI setup but one of them seems to be acting up, already baked it once so time to upgrade i recon, not sure wether to flee bay what ive got, ie one good 8800GTX with one bad, or just keep one for phyx? Is there any point? Cheers to the OP though, you have just helped me spend another £300 right before xmas, thanks a lot!!
No legal reason not to - goods offered at agreed price - we accepted at said agreed price. And we have the confirmatory emails to prove it - as well as the details in the order history section of our Amazon accounts. I think Amazon will honour these orders and will just "suck it up" to use John Romero's favourite phrase.
They don't actually have to honour the price until the order is dispatched. They could cancel your order at any time. Sad fact, but true.
Then that, to use one of my favourite phrases, is a *******! I'm still staying optimistic - at least for now ;-)
These fudge-ups happen now and again and i've never heard of a company not honouring the agreement! Fingers crossed! Back in the day my mate got a Hercules 9800 Pro for half price cos Ebuyer put the wrong price up!
Meh, just had the e-mail from Amazon cancelling the order due incorrect pricing Looks like they honoured the orders taken when it was in stock, but those of us who back ordered it are SOL. Shame, but not unexpected!
Just had an email form Amazon stating this was a pricing error and that they are canceling my order I was under the impression that if you were in a shop they had to honour any pricing errors they made, am I wrong? or does this simply not apply or online stores?
If you read your confirmation e-mail from Amazon you'll see they very carefully state that it is an acknowledgement of the receipt of your order, not an acceptance of contract by them until they actually dispatch the goods. I suspect that's some clever legalese that gives them enough latitude in these cases?
Even when they have sent an emailed confirmation? Surely this is the same as getting to a till and making sure you get the advertised price before you pay.
The e-mail confirmation is just to confirm they got your request. It's not an actual contract. If you find something in a supermarket for say, 10p and take it to the till, and they scan it and it's actually 50p, they're NOT obliged to sell it to you for 10p. You can refuse to pay full price now you have the full knowledge and they can refuse to sell for less based on the fact you're now better informed. The contract isn't sealed until they take your money.
on OCuk, one guy had money taken and received tracking code. but today, received "order cancelled" email. tracking shows "not collected". it should be interesting as Amazon has taken his money, hence formed a contract.
Now THAT is a huge no-no by Amazon. I sense something kicking off there. I know I would if I was in his position!
