Don't know what kind of kiddish hashem it is when 1000 JEWS call and say oh we ordered a ton of stuff when you had that glitch.

Never happening... maybe 2 or 3 Jews will call and they won't know about the rest, hence the kiddish Hashem...

The same guy though will call 100 times to make sure the "kiddush hashem" is very widespread

It now has the status of aveidas akum but placing the order in the first place knowing that that would cause the system to discount the orders to zero was almost certainly mat'eh akum which is assur, but hey, wrong forum because no one on DDF could care less. Life is good. As the journeys song goes "come on and ride the train"....

Seems to be deleted?

I had 2 orders cancelled, but 1 item from each order arrived today.

I don't get how it's a Kiddush hashem to say I knowingly ordered a price mistake but now I want to return it (not saying whether it was assur or mutat, just don't see the logic here)

[Ergel]

Also we are talking about serious loss for TRU. Seems like there are thousands of not tens of thousands of orders that are being fulfilled. You are talking millions and millions of dollars. Crazy

I knowingly took advantage of a price offer which many companies honor hoping that you would too. But now that you cancelled​...

The damage was done. You're admitting you erred & you'd like to make amends.

Honestly think most experts including Dan thought there was less than 1% chance of it shipping out. Yet many times the store will give out gift cards out of good will making it worth it to buy a price mistake even if you know you'll never get the item. I don't think there's much wrong with that.

Why are they still sending out orders ? Can they still not stop these orders a week later ?

I dont think this was a mistake rather a publicity stunt! There were not doing so well as of late...

Looks pretty bad when you cancel some, honor some, & cancel and deliver others.

And lose a ton of money in the process!

Who knows about it other than people on deal sites? They would do better to give out hundred dollar bills to random customers.

Do any insurance companies cover stuff like this for retail stores?

Maybe they are hoping it will be picked up by the media if enough orders are honored... that's the reason why express shipping was cancelled as it was more orders that they wanted to honor and the regular shipping they can honor to their discretion...

And how would you explain cancelling orders & then delivering them ?

Quit while you're ahead. There's no way this was intentional.

[yitrap]

I believe the items shipping are mainly orders that they drop ship. My two carriages came from Graco warehouse...I wonder if TRU can tell Graco it was their bad since they cancelled the order...

Lloyd’s has evolved into something like a stock exchange for risk, where actual insurers come to buy and sell exposure. These companies form syndicates and get insurance of their own from even larger re-insurers, who are re-re-insured in turn. .... Anything that might be lost or cause a loss, from Bruce Springsteen’s voice to a Virgin Galactic spacecraft, can be insured via Lloyd’s
