Price mistake!

[Bailbino]

My order for the scooters are still live I received an email saying that my package is delayed but if you go on Walmart.com they are still in stock.. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Razor-E300S-Seated-Electric-Scooter-Multiple-Colors/12346982

Any advice here I didn't even get a $10 GC

Just another data point: We just got one out of six orders we made. Almost everything else has been cancelled already, and we're not expecting anything else. This was our second order, which was entirely book sets. Most of the books were discounted by over 66%, and some of them were $3.05.

Wow! Lucky you... How much did you save total?

One order was shipped - about to deliver - now rerouted to sender

It's interesting how the wealthiest, most successful companies in the world are also the greediest.

Yes, it was a mistake, no doubt. But stooping so low as to call back shipments is a whole different level.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not one of these liberal crazies who believe that being successful is "evil". I do, however, believe that a company of that stature should not call back shipments after the customer has already been notified that their package is on the way.

Think about this: they knew about the technical glitch BEFORE they shipped these items out.

Yup. Typical, expected response.

? You call a company greedy because they didn't give you something at a deep discount. I'm confused

If you sold someone a piece of luggage on Ebay, and after you shipped it out, you remembered that you left a quarter in there, would you call back the package?

You know what, hell yes - let's use your example, alright?

You list a piece of luggage on Ebay and mistakenly price it at 60% off. Customer purchases the item and you ship it out. Would you recall it? Would you?

You made the mistake of selling it at 60% off, and you made the mistake of shipping the damn thing out. There is NO sympathy for you here. NONE. NADA.

If you really want to put it in perspective, it's more like you selling a 2 dollar item on eBay, but charged the guy only 80 cents by mistake. It's been shipped already, would you recall it?

And 2 dollars to you, is much more than a couple of hundred or even thousand dollars, is to Walmart.

But that;s really not the slightest how business works. Walmart is not a Chesed organization.

Don't they run a g'mach?

Don't go there. You don't want this turning into an Is It Ethical thread.

I heard someone got his order and later that day FedEx came back and said that Walmart told him that you called to have your order picked up!

[DH Data Recovery]

Guys get over it, its a price mistake - you win some, lose some. In this case much more was actually won than expected, in most cases a price mistake of this magnitude with this much publicity would have resulted in all orders being canceled immediately. I personally didn't think they would be careless enough to allow any orders to ship!
