500 Hot Cup Lids for $3.99 Shipped
« on: March 18, 2012, 08:35:00 PM »
This is supposed to be for 50, but there is a mistake. You will need to contact them to complain once they send you the package with 50.

is that ethical to complain knowing before you purchase you are only supposed to get 50?

Pretty sure that question belongs in this thread:  http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=12784.0
But anyway, I don't see why it's any different than the other price mistakes that are very often posted here.

This is not necessarily price mistake. The listing says 500 very clearly. I'm not even sure it's a mistake. They just sent me 50. I was assuming it was a mistake because of the price and from the fact they only sent me 50 initially.

I called (I know, I know - calling often ruins a deal, but with this 'deal', not calling will end up with only getting 50 and therefore negating the whole 'deal')

They said it was a mistake on their website and offered me either:
1) A 20% discount toward ordering a real 500 case
2) A refund of $$3.99 (=50 free covers).

Thanks Daniel for the 50 free covers! :)
