I have been following La Blogotheque for a solid year now and it never disappoints. Having still not gotten through the whole archive, and constantly being impressed by the new sessions added, I have enjoyed bands I love and found my future favorites through this place. Its really great. I’m glad you have stumbled onto it too.

lets cry about a price mistake, happens EVERY day on the deal sites.

you’re basically ordering a cancellation email when you order something online for a price that is not conceivable.

Amazon clearly states they are not responsible for pricing errors, this has been the case for years and years and years – even the sunday sale papers print this text in the sale ads.

Amazon was nice and offered these $10 credits, I didn’t know they were doing that till i read your blog post. Best Buy does this as well, they could just send you an email saying “oops sorry, someone forgot the 1 at the front of the price” and be done with it.

I bought the same Mac and just received an email saying that the order was cancelled… Never heard of the 10$ cupon. When I bought this mac mini, I did know there was a BIG chance that there was an error and that the order will be cancelled sooner or later… So there wasn’t a big surprise for me.
But I thought that after buying something and having the receipt, they would some how, honour the mistake. Heard Future Shop had done the same “error” and they had to honor their mistake…

Alex

1. I was wondering if you could help me with some SEO expertise.

2. I was wondering how your services “achieve” balance with your websites.

3. Welcome to the internet. Where you can’t hide if you’re an untalented web “designer”.

Let me call the wahhhh-bulance for Analogue. Let’s take this step-by-step…

1. For starters, they’re Amazon, you’re some little blog looking for traffic. You’re not going to be able to take on Amazon.

2. They made a pricing mistake and you compare it to some Canadian Bookstore. First of all, the Canadian bookstore can probably sell you one copy of book and take a hit on it. You expect Amazon to sell they’re entire stock of the computer at a loss? Really? …really?

3. To be honest, alarm bells should have been ringing when you saw the deal posted. It’s not deal-of-the-lifetime, but it’s still a good enough deal to make you think, “hmmm…. this is probably a price mistake”. Amazon sells MILLIONS of products; they don’t have people manually setting each product price, it’s done by complicated algorithms and XML sheets. In the VERY RARE instance of a mistake, they cancel the orders and apologize.

4. THIS is an assumption, but… I figure that you assumed this was a price mistake. Why? Because you ordered it overnight… what most people trying to exploit the system do. See if you can get one really fast before Amazon “catches on”, huh? FSSS shipping would have sufficed before X-mas, but no, you tried to grab some before Amazon caught on to their mistake. Then they did and you cry about it? Really? …really?

5. You sound like a damn idiot blabbering about “AMAZON WILL FEEL THIS DEEP!!!”. Welcome to the internet. Amazon, like all stores, make mistakes and no, they’re not going to absorb the cost on each one. They gave to you a store credit and, to be honest, I think that was more than you deserved. Grow up and quit being such a baby.
