Was only on the phone to me missus and was telling her about this thread, she mentioned the littlewoods computer aswell.

Good job she reminded me about littlewoods too. Kinda owe them a few euro

Littlewoods honoured 69 computer?!

I've mailed back saying I haven't requested refund and asked also if they can gift wrap the blu ray player when they amend the refund error

aidannulty

i did not recieve an email about getting a refund from them. but i have sent them an email anyway telling them i do not want a refund and that i am prepared to wait for the item if its currently out of stock. :rolleyes:

Even with payment by Paypal? The little woods one i can understand. no contract until dispatch, but does pixmania have something like that?

i copied theres T & C, but havent had a chance to go through it properly yet.

Iv read on a few consumer advice sites once they have your money, the contract is valid.

Mr.David

I paid using paypal and just got the refund email

So it looks like it was a non runner.

At least we wasted some of their time

Now, off to the nearest SPAR to piss on the cuisine de france bread in protest

Are you not going to contact them about it?

j4vier

it is weird that for some it seems to have been validated and some got refunded..
i mean if its not in stock as they said, why would they validate an order??

If there are certain products that are temporarily unavailable, we will send the available products and will pay the shipping fees for the rest of the order.We will offer you a replacement for an unavailable product, a product of equal price and quality.
If you choose to refuse, we will reimburse the unavailable product. If you wish to return it to us in the conditions outlined in article 9 (right of retraction – satisfied or reimbursed), the fees will be covered by us.

so someone makes a mistake in pricing and you think that they should be obligated to honour all the orders, even though it was a mistake, even though it could result in someone losing their job, even though it doesnt leave anyone out of pocket?

christ of almighty, the thinking of some people is unreal

So they cant pull the "we cant get the item" trick

AFIK if the price is obviously incorrect they can cancel the order BUT when is it too late for them? When have they accepted your cash? I'd say the delay is because they are in meetings with their lawyers all fooking day :-)

Your order has been validated by our Customer Service.

internesting!

This is a huge company, a couple of grand wont do them any harm.

fair point on someone loosing their job though. But at this point the decision about the person keeping their job is irrespective of us getting the item.

but its not your money either.

So because someone made a mistake and priced something wrong, you think you should be able to get the item at that price, even though they are not legally obliged to do so, even though you know its a mistake yet you are willing to complain until you do?

IMO thats incredibly childish

are u sure about that? Cos after what iv read, once the money is exchanged its deal done. Except if they have an opt out like littlewoods did in their terms and conditions .Pixmania does have this for credit card orders. not for paypal as the money has been accepted by Pixmania.....if they issue a refund its proof they have excepted the payment.
