Hadn't seen it on hukd ?
Could I ask people not to post it there for the sake of those here that have ordered it pretty please ?

Was posted there already but voted cold because nobody wanted to deal with Insight. Nothing ventured nothing gained I say. A small number of orders may slip through the net before they realise the mistake so I'm glad it was voted cold.

Link to drive is broken now.

They must have taken it down.

yep, it's gone. be interesting to see if any got dispatched before the misprice was noticed.

the 128gb one is still there for £115, so it was definitely a very big misprice.

Looks like my order got cancelled a few minutes ago. When I try to go in to orders it says "No Orders Found". Didn't get any cancellation emails yet though.

Getting the same: No Orders Found.

No orders found here too, once it hit hotukdeals the game was over anyway.

Order still there but they're probably going through deleting them manually.

Anyone get a refund ?

EDIT: Order cancelled

Seems like NEXT dirty trick from Online Marketing Department. It was HP few days ago with £40 voucher now Insight UK got a big customer database FOR FREE. "Well done, few quids saved, now send them some spam boys!!"

I wonder if that's coincidence that it always happen during the weekend? It gives people lot of time to inform each other, do pre-buy check, to purchase that bargain, and even discuss it a little after. It saves all worries to delivery department because Monday morning they are all cancelled. Strange...

Just got a mail from them:

HP actually sent out a lot of that stuff.

No cancellation email here, but order has dissappeared from my account and invoice has dissappeared also. I assume no charges were made against my CC either but will keep an eye on that to confirm. Oh well - nothing ventured nothing gained.

dingding

Same as that, I emailed them asking them what the story was.

coldfire1x

Same here, order gone, no email yet.

paddyp

I have two canned replies saying

Done better than that, I changed my email address to their accounts helpdesk.

Treat their email address like they were going to treat mine.

A lot of these "mistakes" Happening recently!

Got my letter today saying it was cancelled it was too good to be true. Everyone make sure you unsubscribe from their newsletter now and don't let them benefit from this slip up to discourage others from doing it too!

Hardly your fault, if it had worked out great but think most people knew they were taking a chance.

And you save $0.02 worthy of its own thread with a bargain like that.
