dmccombe7 Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 Just googled Citizens Aadvice and they say that if you've actually bought the item the shop can't ask for more. Once bought it becomes a contract. If you buy online and they send you the item invoiced at the price listed then that's apparently the contract again. If like me you go to the till and they scan it and say the pric is higher then you would need to pay the higher price. A lot of shops will sell for sake of customer relations if not much in it. Guess i was just lucky when it happened to me. 1 Quote
AndyTravis Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 If I actually get this for £40, I’ll be shocked. find out on the 28th when a photograph of a bass and an amp is delivered. Quote
ambient Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 Online: The situation is not as clear-cut online. The legally binding contract is complete when a retailer accepts an order. However, acceptance does not necessarily happen at the point of order. Even the confirmation email may not be an acceptance. Some retailers reserve the right to cancel an order up to the point of delivery. Quote
Mister RLP Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 Not really bass related but saw this the other day in the ‘sale’ at Wakehurst Place. Quote

Don't go charging in with a fistful of dollars just yet, hold your ground, be patient and don't back down. I reckon you'll get that for £24 if you play it right. 2 Quote

A price in a shop is legally an 'invitation to treat' it is not a legal contract - most retailers will honour a price, but they don't have to. (I've been in retail management for over 20years). I note that the item in question is suddenly out of stock btw.......... Quote
Maude Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 I know that Taunton Hobbit, but this is the most excitement I've had in ages, now move along Killjoy 1 1 Quote

M@23 Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 I messaged them on Facebook, it was an error (obviously) which has now been corrected. No way it's going to be honoured! Quote

T-Bay Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 So have they refunded people yet? Poor if they haven’t. Mistakes happen but they need to sort people out when they do. Quote
kodiakblair Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 I've my order confirmation email but paypal just says "payment pending". Quote
AndyTravis Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 Hmm. Someone’s twigged obviously. nothing in my inbox to say it’s not happening though, which is a bit amateur really. Quote

Mistakes happen but they need to sort people out when they do. Do they take payment immediately or when the order is actually confirmed by them? Thomann don't until they actually confirm, I don't think Amazon do either. It'll take a few days for refunds to go through too, if they have taken payment. Quote
AndyTravis Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 My PayPal says “authorised” All a bit too good to be true really...hahaha. oh well. Quote

bassace Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 The payment has been taken from my credit card account and no cancellation yet from GfM so we’ll see. It’s no big deal right now. Actually it might not be a deal at all................... 1 Quote

"HEY, look over there"... *runs for it* I messaged and to ask of they were feeling particularly festive, giving a genuine 95% discount, or if it was a ⚽⚾ up. Sadly, it's the latter. Quote
AndyTravis Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 They need to sort my £40 or somewhere, someone, somehow will get... a sternly worded e-mail. Quote
