Lord Montymort Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I ordered three at the £2.99 price last night, I was wanting to pick up a few XBL Gold memberships before Microsoft increase the price anyway, especially when America, as usual, look to be the only ones getting anything extra for the increased price.

stucazedmacca Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hi We are writing to you in relation to your order for the following item: Cat.No: 52M-00124 Artist: XBOX 360 ACCESSORY Title : 12 MONTH LIVE GOLD COD: BLACK OPS BRANDED MEMBERSHIP WITH FREE T-SHIRT We are very sorry, but it has come to our attention that this item recently appeared on our web site at the incorrect price of £2.99, instead of the more typical price of £35.16. We trust that you will therefore understand that we are not in a position to process your order at this incorrect price. We very much regret any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause. No doubt you will be wondering what your rights may be in this matter, but, as we trust our terms and conditions governing our online sales make clear, any contract with a customer placing an order is only entered into at the point when payment for the goods or services is actually received. As you may be aware, hmv has not yet taken payment from you for the goods listed above nor, indeed, taken the final step of confirming the shipment of your order to you by email (please see point b. in the section entitled 'The Contract Between US' on the first page of our Terms and Conditions). So we trust you will therefore appreciate that there is not a legal requirement to make this item available at the incorrect price. Once again, we really are very sorry about having to take this course of action resulting from what is a genuine error on our part, and whilst we do, of course, very much value you as a customer we hope that you will also understand our position and that you will be kind enough to accept our most sincere apologies. We appreciate that you may no longer wish to proceed with the order at the corrected retail price of £35.16, but if you do, then please place an order through hmv.com. Busted.....

Wortsenawl Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 That's kinda what i expected. Oh well, it was worth the 2 minutes it took to place the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Well i have the recipt, and if you have one of them. YOU HAVE purchased that item. And you are entitled to the product your ordered. I am looking into this now and going to see what i can do in terms of threatening court. They advertised it for 2.99. I expect my order to be delivered for 2 fucking 99. Another floor for them here. False advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merzitar Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I just recieved this, too. Anyone who gets that email, reply and complain to them. Hopefully if enough of us complain, they'll do something about it. It's not our fault they have idiots working for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky15 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Ive had no email as yet and my order is still there, i have print screens saying i have purchased the items and will be dispatched shortly, so if i do get an email soon i will email them back getting very arsy!

Wehttam Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yeah this sucks, oh well. Have they basically cancelled our orders then? On myaccount on hmv it still says open order with the lower price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky15 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yea mines the same mate. I expect we will have ours cancelled soon though we just all need to reply to emails getting pissy with them saying we've purchased these items and want to recieve them.

merzitar Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The thing is, I know for a fact that they're wrong. This is not a normal order which hasn't been shipped yet, but a pre-order. Their website states that when you pre-order something, they will only charge you for the lowest price, so if you order it at £30, and it goes down to £20, and then goes back to £32, they will only charge you £20, or in this case, £2.99.

False advertising. You are wrong on so many levels. Good luck suing HMV, y'know, one of the biggest companies around. You're acting as though they're in the wrong; they made a mistake, get over yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 You are wrong on so many levels. Good luck suing HMV, y'know, one of the biggest companies around. You're acting as though they're in the wrong; they made a mistake, get over yourself. They ARE in the wrong. IT IS FALSE ADVERTISING. No company, no matter how big will risk customers and a reputation. Maybe watchdog could do something I put a Pre-Order on an item and i expect that item for the price it was advertised. Something simular happened when i ordered at TESCO, but not as drastic. And guess who got the item for the first advertised price...? After threatening court etc. So dont go telling me i am wrong because this has happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakahashiDemon Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 If they haven't took the money out of your accounts then whats wrong? Just cancel the order and order off ebay.. they have reasonably priced Gold memberships, which they either send code or send you the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShirleyPeanut Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Wow you are all douchebags, Just because some guy incorrectly put the price up on the website, It's not false advertiding, it's a mistake, you know it and they know it, don't start yammering on about your 'rights' or 'false advertising'.

duff28 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Had that aswell, keep updating on the situation if anything happens, gutted but worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky15 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Check your junk mail, mines been cancelled but i dont see how they can cancel it because its not an item for general sale atm? Its pre order where it states it will be sold at the lowest price when you pre ordered which was £2.99!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStabby1981 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 It is false advertising my boss told me when i worked for a retailer to make sure i got the prices right otherwise he had to sell it at that price. And a few years ago i saw worms collection in game for £4.99 when i got to the till it came up at £15 guess what price i got it for. Other wise i could have a shop full of 50 inch plasma tvs priced stupidly and keep the oh sorry thats a mistake excuse going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom115 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Sent them an arsey email . I doubt it'll get me anywhere but worth a try I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiked12 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 You're not going to get the item guys, simple as. They have reinforced their terms and conditions, and they know what their T&C stand for. Court will not help, as the T&C were there prior to your order, not after.

merzitar Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 BUT, it's a Pre-order. Their website states that when pre-ordering a product, they only charge you the lowest price, so if I pre-ordered it at £2.99, they have to give me it at £2.99.

Corrupt. Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Any price offered is technically just a request for an offer and a company does not have to accept that offer. This is the loophole companies use for this sort of thing. False advertising does not refer to a price but to a product. For example if they advertise gold membership but you only receive a month etc... You aren't getting it for this price, deal with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
