Now if someone fucked up on the pricing, can the store sells as it is??? or they can change it back right away at the cashier saying it was the wrong price tag or something.


wouldnt the cashier be like wtf? something is wrong, no way a 52" tv for $10 bux

[SumAznGuy]

Booooo...

We tried to order 10 of them this morning, when we finally got a shipping address all figured out, it was too late and the site was updated with the corrected price. :cry:

[ShyGuy]

[winson604]

No they don't need to honor it. Just recently on bestbuy.ca they had the new 300 blueray preorder for $9.99 and I ordered it along with thousands of others. Finally they realized they fucked up and cancelled everyones order followed with this email.

[StylinRed]

they don't have to in most of Canada, but they have to honour it in Quebec

and i suspect the rules/laws of every state differ on this issue in the USA so some people might actually have gotten it for $9.99

Yes, because every typo should cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars.

By MAE ANDERSON, AP Retail Writer Mae Anderson, Ap Retail Writer – 2 hrs 19 mins ago
NEW YORK – Few if any of the deals retailers have offered online during the recession have been as good as Best Buy Inc.'s sale price of $9.99 on a 52-inch TV Wednesday. But it quickly turned out the offer was too good to be true.

The electronics retailer said it will not honor the $9.99 price posted Wednesday morning on its Web site for a 52-inch Samsung flat-screen TV. By early afternoon, the TV was listed at $1,799.99, almost half off the original $3,399.99 price.

Bloggers and Twitterers lit up the Internet with posts about the offer, some insisting Best Buy must honor it, others making jokes.

Best Buy, based in Richfield, Minn., said it has corrected an online pricing error and will not honor the incorrect price. Orders made Wednesday morning at the incorrect price will be canceled and customers will receive refunds, the company said.

Best Buy did not immediately return a call for additional comment

[Vansterdam]

whack

[scheng924]

i was at best buy once, at richmond, and they put the $140 printers with the $70 tag which is an older model. I got it at $70. perhaps it's different instore than online?

It's different in store because you only get so many walk in customers that buy it not knowing the actual price tag error until check out.

Online is totally different because news can spread like wild fire. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this is an obvious typo. Only morons like Mugen EvOlutioN will come moaning and bitching and feel like they're entitled to this obvious error when common sense tells you that the order will/should get canceled.

Wouldn't be surprised if the person that did this in the ecomm team got a very stern warning or fired.

the difference is $140 mistagged at $70, compared to $3,399.99 mistagged at $9.99

[SumAznGuy]

In BC, there is a law that protects consumers that in the event of a pricing error based off of what was advertised on display and what price was shown on the cash register, the lower price will be given to the comsumer.

But I wonder how far this goes to protect the consumer?

So if I walked into BB and saw that TV for $9.99 instead of $3,399.99, you better believe i am walking out with that tv for $9.99 and I might even splurge and get the extended warrenty. But since this is online, and from the US, I guess there isn't any laws that protect the consumers from pricing errors.

[twitchyzero]

^wrong
in this case he would only get $10 off

That protects the consumer if the price rang up higher than displayed. And yes, it's only a max value of $10.

Of course if the other way around occurred, they can't force you to return the item. Transaction has already been completed as in they received the money and you received the item. So I don't believe they have a right to ask for it back. Good luck on that happening though.

I say the same thing about Nigerian scams. Seriously, you wasted the scam artist time and effort. If you're stupid enough to give them the money you should eat up the cost!

Uh, no dude.

It isn't a "law".

It's a voluntary program called SCOP (Scanning Code of Practice) that retailers can CHOOSE to adhere to. They are under no obligation to do so.

At the stores that participate, you get a maximum of $10 off the item if it scans in at a price higher than an advertised or shelf price. If the item is less than $10, you get one for free.

[SumAznGuy]

D'oh. Guess I won't be walking out with a $9.99 TV any time soon.

[1990TSI]

If I ran a store I'd give you a TV for $9.99

plus favours, behind closed back doors. or open back doors. LOL!!!!!!!!111

If they followed SCOP, then I believe you should have gotten even more off.

[Razor Ramon HG]

The SCOP pretty much has three conclusions.

1: The store sell the mislabeled product for what the shelf price was
2: The customer gets the item for free if it's ten dollars or less
3: If the mislabeled product is over ten dollars, he/she gets up to a maximum of ten dollars off

Lots of major retailers participate in the SCOP. If they have it advertised and they do not honour the SCOP, you are able to file a complaint against them (whether or not that makes a difference is another question). This also mean not all of them do.

[cctw]

If the TV was priced $9.99 in store then BestBuy would have to honour the price to in store customers because bylaw they have to. Online they do not because technically speaking you are offering to purchase their product at their asking price and its the retailer's choice to accept the offer or not.

i'd say you got fucking lucky buddie
you having that price tag in the first place is already skeptical
they'll just look up the item online on bestbuy's website and they can call the cops on you for theft under $5000.

I think someone says this shit about once every 6 months. It's simply untrue. If something is labelled wrong, it's labelled wrong. The stores have the right to notice this, correct the price, and then offer the product to the customer at the correct price.

Now stop spreading stupidity.

[InvisibleSoul]

No. Read what I wrote earlier. The maximum discount for SCOP is $10.

Stop spreading false information. Thanks...

[Mercy]

Never actually did it, posting what someone else told me they did. Was in the states a few years back.

[BNR32_Coupe]

I complained to customer service and threatened to sue over false advertising and they gave it to me for $400 + shipping. refurbished one tho, with 2 year warranty still

Thank you! I hate when people spread false information. There is no such bylaw people! Yes some stores will honor prices where they fucked up but that's not because it's a bylaw but they chose to.
