Very simple. Glitch in the system and I get free stuff, can I place such an order? Answer was that since the glitch is on their end it's permissible.
Can you please pm me the name? Did he say you can place the order, no problem? Or did he say, technically, you can, except for Hayoshor V'hatov etc.

I'm still wondering how tru can take such a hit, there's no way the vendors (bugaboo, microsoft [xbox], etc..) are going to eat the costs so how can tru survive this epic screw up?

If deliveries are truly happening anywhere near the number of orders that were placed I wont be surprised if this makes headlines in the coming days or at least when it comes time for their financial meetings
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

If I were you I wouldn't hold my breath for the PM. I'ts highly doubtful he called any Rov.

1. Earlier when the point was made that it was wrong Mr Joe. didn't mention that he called a rov and the rov said it was fine. Rather he chose to say that the only reason issues were raised was because people didn't get in on the deal. (yet he himself supposedly had issues and that's why he called a rov! hmmmm.....)
(He only mentioned he called a rov once i pointed out the massive outright theft and chillul hashem involved.)
2. Do you really think it's plausible that within the short period of time that this was live after the "deal" was posted, Mr. Joe called his rov right away on speed dial and got through automatically and asked if it was okay, before placing his order, or do you think it's more plausible that when he saw this deal he just went zooming to place orders?
3. Someone who takes advantage of these deals, where it's 100% pure theft, no 2 ways about it, is suspect for lying about calling his rov as well.
4. Lying on a public forum saying that he has rabbinic approval, to steal, no less, (because it's a glitch) only makes the chilllul hashem much bigger, when this will undoubtedly be picked up by the media.
5. One can argue that there is a big difference to taking advantage of a glitch such as Amazon pricing a product very cheaply versus our case of manipulating the Toys R Us website where you if you purchase a 99 cent item you can get a few thousand dollars of regular priced products for free. Big difference.

Cheers :)

It is possible that he ordered and then called the rov after the fact.

I haven't asked a rov, but I find it hard to believe a respectable rov said it's 100% ok. maybe:
Or did he say, technically, you can, except for Hayoshor V'hatov etc.

Assuming you're right, although I doubt someone would lie over something so silly.

Doesn't just apply to the people who placed the order.

My theory, I might be wrong is that the items that arrived were shipped straight from the manufacturers (bugaboo etc)
Toys R us cancelled them but it was too late as all this places have automated labeling....

As mentioned above the FedEx driver called he couldn't find the house, very possible he tracked it again and got a notification that the item should be returned.

My question is can toys R us go ahead and change a customer full price now after they received it?

Did anyone get any compensation  for the cancelled orders?
