The first hdd I ordered was quite early, and had said they're preparing for today's dispatch and can't be cancelled or changed, it's still appearing in my orders list while the one my friend got me to order a few hours later is removed, do ye good people of BA think I'll get my order honoured?

Me too.

Disappeared off my order too, however the third item (CPU cooler) was only £15 and is still shipping free of charge so I suppose I got something out of it.
Nothing ventured....

Got cancellation mail as well, disappointing

Booooooooo!

Mr.Crinklewood

Have to remove my thanks from the OP now. :-)

I assume we have no come back on this?

Anyone know any other decent deals out there?

Mine was cancelled also. I saw the BA early enough, it's my own fault for tarrying really, oh well!

Tar.Aldarion

but some people got them?!

amacachi

I had two other items in my order, is the whole order cancelled or just the HD? Also the other two items only added up to 23 pounds something, are they going to be cheeky fcukers and charge me for delivery for them?

I think people that ordered them really early i.e. minutes after the BA was posted got them.

To add, I ordered one at 12pm and another at 3.30pm for my mate, the one at 3.30 was cancelled, but the one from 12pm is still showing as awaiting todays dispatch.

Early bird catches the HDD.

Unfortunately like most online retailers Amazon have systems in place to detect misprice, the same system that is used for the 'movers and shakers' page. A sudden increase in sales triggers a freeze in shipments until a human can check it.

So the only way to get them is to get in early and hope that your order ships before this happens. As soon as it was cross-posted on hukd the sales went through the roof and the chances of getting it went to zero. Just the way it goes.

No, they won't charge you the shipping on them. They'll ship those with Free Super Saver Delivery as your original order was over £25.

Tar.Aldarion

anthony4335

Just check my account and it says that my order was dispatched yeepeeeeeee!

biebiebie

Cancelled my order too. Order nonexistent when I login, so no hope for me then

long_b

Cancelled

Quaderno

Nice to see that some orders actually went through. I think the "usable time frame" for this BA was about one hour and ten minutes, since it was posted at 11:42 and the drive went out of stock at amazon at around 12:52. So everybody who ordered from 12:53 onwards will probably have the order cancelled, orders made before that time should have been confirmed by now.

I ordered at 12:09 and got the cancellation email. Ordered a few other items at the same time so maybe that slowed it down or summat. Just cancelled those other items out of spite :pac:

Ah well, nothing ventured nothing gained.

CH3OH

Got the lovely " Your Amazon.co.uk order has dispatched" email.

I just love Amazon efficiency

Now ... why did I order this?

Tar.Aldarion

to give it to me

ShamoBuc

Bugger..... just checked.... email recieved meaning it won't be!

blobbie

Got canned as well.

For a laugh I flipped them an email giving out.

Got back a "Dear Customer.....yada, yada"

with footnote of

"Your feedback is helping us build Earth's Most Customer-Centric Company."

Well, if ye want to be customer centric, try using my name - FFS

Mr.Crinklewood

Complained as well, got an email back saying the pricing was a mistake and all that crap. I have asked them if they can escalate the issue otherwise I will complain to consumer rights.

shamu2new

good luck with that.

there's a reason they add this disclaimer to their site. You won't be the only one to complain, and just like the others who do you're just wasting your own time.

TPD

Cancellation email here too, pah. Ah well.

Sorry but you haven't a hope. "Invitation to treat"

Quaderno

Mine arrived today, sent from Germany. It's slightly bigger and heavier than I expected, but it feels really solid. I have no USB 3.0 port to test it at full speed, but truecrypt right now writes at about 21MB/s via USB 2.0 (AES). That means 12 hours for a full encryption cycle, but I don't trust the closed source encryption supplied with the disk. I think it will do the job very well
Remember to register the drive within 90 days after purchase to secure the 3 year warranty.

Are you serious?

They have thousands upon thousands of items for sale - sometimes, rarely, they make a misprice - they even have it in their blurb that it can happen from time to time and they reserve the right to pull it

We all hawked in on one of the mistakes, now some of us being all "Dear Amazon, my consumer roights have been affected by this roysh"
