Mine's showing as shipped but it's only 3lbs. FUCK. I wonder if they'll at least let me keep it if I request a refund.

Anyone else have better luck?
>>
>>53311255
Did you really expect to get 20 drives for 150$?
>>
>>53311319
yes
>>
>>53311319
Yes, I've gotten in on a few price mistakes before, the best being a 55" Samsung 1080P 120hz TV for $269

I also got 10 32oz Nalgene Tritan bottles for $1.99 last year
>>
>>53311255
I remember doing this on tiger direct when they had negative priced drives after using a discount code. They canceled my order of 15 drives for $20 of shipping.
>>
I canceled right when I ordered because I didn't want to deal with returning.
>>
>>53311255
my WB black order is stuck as "processing"
>>
I was about to order a 1TB Seagate once and noticed it had the price cut by 10 so you could buy 10 for the same price.
Called their support and got in contact with the manager and 1 hour later I got a phone call from the manager to tell me my shipping order.

Got a second 1TB and a 50% off on the 7800GT I had ordered.

Last time I checked I still had a 5% off code tied to my account.
>>
I got the greens, and they sent an email confirming my order and taking my money, but when i check the shipping information online, it shows up as canceled because unavailable.

i'll see if they actually send me an email telling me its cancelled and if they don't by the time it's supposed to be here i'll call in and do the generic white mom bitching till i get something.

the interesting thing is that when i check the shipping information, it does say canceled, 0 available, but then has an option to reorder them. if i do get an email confirming cancellation i'll check that out.
>>
>>53312344
same here
I ain't leaving til i got something
>>
Just checked my order status, it was cancelled.

ZERO communication on Office Depot's part.


When should I receive a refund?

My order of greens is "on hold". I'll be pretty pissed if they ship me a single $120 drive and will reverse charges via paypal.
>>
>>53319956

besides, errors happen all the time and sometime you get lucky so why the fuck not try your luck

That may be so, but I don't know where you're getting this idea that day trading is a commendable thing to do?

If they don't cancel, and instead ship me a single hard drive, I'll file a paypal dispute and keep the money and the drive.

They canceled my order, was never charged. No harm no foul.

> Company advertises a product at a price
> Customer purchases that product at the advertised price
> Company refuses to honor their advertised price

It's that simple
>>
I can't check the status of my order. When I go to website and put in my order number and phone number it comes up as invalid. I did not make an account during checkout and I have no idea why my number is coming up wrong. I got an order confirmation the the order was processing and I got a paypal confirmation that I've agreed to pay them and that they'll take the money when it gets shipped. I have not yet had the money taken out. Is my order cancelled? Is there any other way to track it? I ordered the greens.

>mfw i work at depot
>mfw i noticed early and took every red we had in the store to the register

wew lads

its a shit job but sometimes it pays off

got a HP x2 tablet for 130 bucks a few months ago when it went to clearance level 2 and i talked my GM into giving me 25% off because no box, display, etc
>>
>>53320836
so it was real?
also why are you guys still in business
>>
>>53320849
dunno honestly

depot is a shit show

peobably one of the worst managed retailers in america.

General managers don't give a shit, zero accountability, provided i'm willing to put up with a little bull shit every now and again i can get huge ass discounts on tech, go in when ever I want, fuck off for hours at a time.
>>
>>53320836
I used to work at staples. I bought an acer iconia w3-810 tablet for $20. Employee discount + clearance + coupon + "open box" discount (it was a display model) = $20 tablet. I probably could have talked my boss into less because it was missing the power cord and the battery was dead but I knew it still worked so I went with it anyway. It also came with an unused copy of office.

I'm so glad my store closed and I don't have to deal with the bullshite anymore but I do miss those random sweet deals and stealing some of the good recycles.
>>
>>53320909
>stealing some of the good recycles

'This is the wrong attitude anon.

you are PERSONALLY recycling it.
>>
>>53320500
I do hope you have a screenshot of the order with the quantity.
If you do you're good to go.
>>
lol amerifats getting cucked again
This has happened here before but the company was forced to provide the products at the wrong price since it's their responsibility to show correct prices at all times to the consumer under law.
>>
>>53320958
How are we getting cucked it's the shifty store that cucked theirselves
>>
>>53320968
shitty* lol
>>
>>53320930
Yeah but I also stole 10 recycled ink cartridges every month and I would recycle those again. If I was ever caught I could have gotten fired. I kept that one to myself. I would often wait until someone walked away from their register and left it signed in and then I just punched in my rewards number and 10x ink recycle sku (which I can not believe that I can't remember).

I once got a mint T40.

And to this day, I heavily regret not taking the two mechanical keyboards. In my defense though, at the time, I had a super strict GM who was not OK with that shit. When I got the T40, my GM was walking out with shit too.

Pic related is one of the keyboards. It needed a lot of tlc but it would have been free.

Can you sue them for canceling your order because THEY fucked up?
>>
>>53321556
Think rationally. Imagine you were in a store, and noticed that deal. If you took it up to the counter, and the cashier said "oops! this is mispriced. Sorry, I can't sell you that until we fix the pricing", would you have grounds to sue?
>>
>>53321584
But there are screenshots of people chatting with support who said the price is correct.
>>
>>53321584
>Sorry, I can't sell you that until we fix the pricing", would you have grounds to sue?
If I got the right lawyer I guarantee I could win.

>>53321584
"are you refusing to sell me an item at the advertised price"
>>
>>53321012
"Do u believe i will sell you this 1000$ tv for 100$ because i forgot a 0?"
>>
>>53320500
You sound like a shitty person, thinking of all these ways to scam companies. I see this a lot; people knowingly jumping on pricing errors and then getting mad when they don't get their way.
>>
>>53321675
>not being master race chaotic neutral

fucking loser.
>>
>>53321657
>>53321584
The difference is that they already processes the sale. If they cancel the sale before shipping, then that's fine, whatever. If they just ship one drive then that's fraud, especially since the sale page and receipt for the item says pack of _. Your example should be: If you were in store and went all the way through the checkout with a dozen eggs for $1 and then after you pay the cashier hands you one egg and says sorry it was mislabeled, it should not have read "one dozen eggs", but rather "one egg" so take your egg and go. I don't think it's lawsuit worthy but it's definitely charge-back worthy and it is certainly the wrong way to handle the situation. You either need to honor the sale or refuse it entirely.
>>
just got one delivered, i called and they said there was a glitch in the system
now going through return process

Shoot, best thing I gotten from price mistakes was a 980ti for $50.

Envy level maximum.

Sue them. The product said "pack of x", if you did not get what you ordered, you can get a refund or the full product.
>>
>>53323503
But the question is can you refuse the refund and demand the full product, or will the company be able to argue that they offered a refund and if you didn't take it that's your problem

But hell, don't wait till small claims, can you annoy a manager enough for them to just give you the product and send you on your way?
>>
>>53323503
>>53324021
You will absolutely not want to sue them. If it really comes to that, you will lose the case and you will be out more money than if you have bought each of the drives individually. They will offer you a refund and if you don't take it, you are SOL. A store manager will absolutely NOT just give away 19 hard drives.
