Amazon cancelled my order of this pricing error apparently

notso · 05/11/2013 12:57

Got my Murad cancellation now. Have emailed about reordering using single codes.

DrankSangriaInThePark · 05/11/2013 13:02

I have been cancelled too, and sent them a stroppy email back pointing out their terms and conditions, and the fact that the items are still on their website, and also that however they are playing it, it isn't good netiquette to cancel orders with no real reason other than their tech team arsed up and allowed codes to stack.

(I didn't even want the bloody stuff, but principles is principles....) Grin

Titsalinabumsquash · 05/11/2013 13:06

I get really cross with companies not honouring orders when they've cocked up. still bitter about Asda

I've had my cancellation email too, can you tell lol.

I got my purse stolen yesterday so I have to reorder my banks cards, no shopping for me :(

DrankSangriaInThePark · 05/11/2013 13:11

Oh no Tits! Hope you didn't lose money as well as the cards?

Tesco were dreadful last Christmas, all my stuff arrived battered and broken and they said I could have it replaced if I sent it back and paid postage myself. I told them to fuck off.

pingusmumtoo · 05/11/2013 13:12

Forgot to add - go via Quidco for 5% cashback too!!

Hawkmoth · 05/11/2013 13:14

I have an ELC voucher 25% off ALL toys valid from 4th - 18th November 2013, anyone who wants it, please PM me.

purplepippin · 05/11/2013 13:20

Sheeparefluffy I have just pmd you a boden code.

Badvoc · 05/11/2013 13:27

Ugh..not really nanny.
I got £30 of clubcard vouchers yesterday which was a surprise - I should point out that they were old ones not used and tesco had reprinted them. We don't really shop in tesco so they must have been really old!
So far so good.
I doubled up online...this was my first mistake.
They tried to send my the codes 3 times but there was problem with the system and so in the end I got them via e mail.
This took 3 hours to sort out.
I took them to the shop his morning...thought I could buy gifts for pils and sil (drink, DVDs etc)
Not only did they send my vouchers for toys - which I had not asked for - but the vouchers cannot be spent on food, drink (except finest range wines and champagnes) or DVDs/CDs.
It's ridiculous. There are many complaints online about this.
So, I have had to get £60 of toys I do not want and the dc don't need.
It's so obvious they are peddling their own brand tablet (hudl) which is in the offer (surprise surprise) and the finest ranges etc.
Bit fed up really.
because I couldn't get the season 1-2 Boxset of game of thrones
I think tesco are being very sly with this offer tbh.

Picturesinthefirelight · 05/11/2013 13:28

The matalan code has expired. Does anyone have another?

Mellowandfruitful · 05/11/2013 13:29

I've just also had my Murad cancellation. They're certainly being disingenuous about it as they say the Zest gift is out of stock, but say nothing about the free gift they were offering when you bought book - is that out of stock too, and if not why aren't you honouring that part of the order? Hmm

ihatethecold · 05/11/2013 13:31

Thanks reastie,
Just ordered the free sainsburys scarf.

JaquelineHyde · 05/11/2013 13:32

pingusmumtoo Studio do personalised pencil sets. You need to open an account and order them through that, then just pay off the full balance when you get the statement.

I've done this before and never had any problem.

iloveholidays · 05/11/2013 13:33

Someone posted a link to a personalised men's apron on ebay ages ago on one of the earlier threads, can anyone remember what it was? thanks

craftynclothy · 05/11/2013 13:33

Have emailed to cancel Country Living Subscription today. Fingers crossed they aren't a pita about it.

MooseyMoo · 05/11/2013 13:35

Sphul I've started to buy my parents experiences for presents so one year it was a roast dinner at local posh restaurant, river cruise, afternoon tea & admission to a NT house. Basically I spoil them with something they would enjoy and remember but wouldn't buy themselves as too expensive (not if you bargain hunt!)

Went into Sainsburys and they still had Octopod for £19.99 and wooden garages for £11.99. Was with both DC and DD went straight to the Hello Kitty Bed Warmer and was VERY taken with a mini lala loopsy doll. I have finished for her but as it's the one thing she has asked for I think I'll get it for her. I've just seen x4 mini lala loopsy dolls for £10 at Entertainer - does anyone know if that's a good deal? Luckily she found the larger dolls freaky I do too

glenthebattleostrich · 05/11/2013 13:39

Can't find where to put the other flavoirly code in, aargh. May have to resort to a new email address. I need a second box! Can anyone help?

Crutchlow35 · 05/11/2013 13:40

Thanks for the amazon link to the lego city advent calendar.

I have tried to reserve a few argos items. They look like they are in stock when you add to your basket but most playmobil is out of stock by the time you go to reserve. Might have better luck with home delivery tomorrow.

iloveholidays · 05/11/2013 13:42

Ignore me, managed to find a recently viewed button on ebay.

personalised men's aprons £12.50

SarahPercyAndBill · 05/11/2013 13:43

I tried reordering just with the 40% and it's no longer valid. I suspect this is their real reason - they didn't count on the volume of orders and have just rolled out different excuses.

Compare that with gracious way the robot gate company reacted - even though that was a price error and murad isn't - really has put me off their products.
