LOL was just gonna say this. Don't keep your hopes up.

[BlackV62K2]

lol @ the RFD thread. Goes from sweet deal to bashing each other about status of orders.

[FerrariEnzo]

I ordered one early this morning.. but not keeping my hopes up... Lenovo had one of these and they cancelled all the orders... so not suprised if they did it again.. haha.. IF not, what a score...

[tomatogunk]

Ordered 2 but not keeping my hopes up but in the back of mind I am wishing that this doesn't end up like the tablets

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

meh, Razer's products will generally have a much higher markup compared to a laptop. a 90 percent discount on MSRP, and Razer might still make back a good chunk of it's original cost.

Laptops will have a much smaller markup.

The "order confirmation" I got said explicitly that they will only confirm they've received the order, and can never guarantee that you'll receive goods until the actual order has been shipped.

[Spoon]

Not that I watch Global news anyways, but they're on the condemned list now for taking this seriously.

[sonick]

Reading the thread on RFD and the reasoning behind the petition, I absolutely abhor and despise these people and especially the main individual who is pushing for the petition. Having worked in consumer goods before, they are scum.

[lilaznviper]

WTF,
I don't think lenovo will care about the regular consumers as they have a ton of businesses that will still buy from them

[Dragon-88]

Meh, Lenovo's market is in the business line. Their consumer line isn't what they spend all their time on.. Its all about servers and mobile for them now.. They just bought Motorola and IBM you really thing they care about their consumer line.. Then again with social media, everyone thinks they have to right to bitch and whine and if they dont get what they want, they'll just try and put out bad rep..

People blowing things out of proportion through media. Those that got charged money on their credit card and haven't received their refund, I agree why they aren't happy and have every right to speak their minds, but for the rest, they are just trolling to get something out of this.

Like that stupid girl on global tv news. All this BS about in the market for a laptop is a load of crap. The laptop is thick like a phone book and ugly ass that I wouldn't even bring it outside, yet alone want one. Of course, the price can't be complained for what you get LOL

agreed
id like a killer deal as much as the next guy
the way i see price errors...they can refuse it AS LONG AS they don't charge your credit card. The minute they have your funds they should honour it

[sonick]

I give them the benefit of the doubt with regards to getting charged. The payment process is likely automated whereas refunds probably need to be manually processed by an accounting department.

With likely thousands of orders going through on a Friday afternoon, I could imagine it would've taken awhile on Monday morning for the web team to find the error, notify management whom then decides what to do, notify the accounting team before they could sift through the price-error orders and actually start processing the returns.

[radioman]

According to more tweets from that guys twitter they aren't offering the deal! :victory:

Sean O'Shea ‏@ConsumerSOS · 3m
So in summary: #Lenovo_Canada refuses to honour deal. Offers $100 goodwill discount to consumers who buy a computer before August 3. #Fail?

Fuckers still get something out of this.

[meme405]

Considering they made the mistake I think they should honour it, but definitely only 1 per order made.

I have heard of people making a bunch of accounts and ordering like 50 of these things. Which is BS, something like this was obviously and error you are an idiot if you didn't see that. So jumping on it and doing this is why Lenovo doesn't want to honour it.

EDIT: If anyone on here wants to pass on that $100 discount, I want to buy a new X1 Carbon... I'll buy you a 6 pack.

[Spoon]

Fuckers still get something out of this.

They probably don't plan on having another sale till the discount expires. All in all, it's meaningless unless you were willing to pay full price to begin with. So that weeds out a majority of those RFD hoarders. :thumbsup:

[Tim Budong]

The moment these things spill over on the deal sites

its a shitstorm

I will admit, if i ordered and they didn't honour it, i'd be irritated. I probably would have signed the petition, but I would move on after that

[tomatogunk]

I'm not keeping my hopes up for anything but I find it odd that I placed 4 orders on Friday and out of the 4, 2 haven't been cancelled yet; the orders were actually released to manufacturing. And these were the initial two orders that were placed, the last two's statuses have already been cancelled.

[Ch28]

You placed 4 orders?

Glad you didn't get anything.

[tomatogunk]

You placed 4 orders?

No one got anything :devil:

[meme405]

Seriously though, how does this 100 dollar discount work, is it just a coupon code?

Someone forward theirs to me. I know most of you have no intention of using it...

[knight604]

i ordered 1 and it says it got cancelled but my card got charged ;p and it says releasing to manufacturing..

I hope i get my refund soon or the laptop :p

[Euro7r]

There are so many individuals out that are still bitching and whining how they won't ever buy from Lenovo after this. These individuals never had the intention or ever will buy in the first place. These aren't even loyal customers. All the twitter and fb comments to get social media attention is ridiculous.

[Spoon]

Social medias full of bitches. They'll crawl back when the next deal comes along.

most ppl ordered, probably were going to flip it on CL/kijiji for profit. :QQ:
but then offering $100 coupon on limited time next purchase is lame move as well

Lol @ the number of people saying that lenovo did this to steal their personal information.

You must be able to come up with a better excuse as to why they should honour the deal than that...

Lenovo is a tech company, they build computers and sell them. They are not interested in selling email addresses.

[Psykopathik]

as an RFD veteran this does not surprise me. move on to the next deal folks. nuttin' to see here.

[mk1freak]

I'm just happy to get my cc charges back, 300 bucks richer :fuckyea:

I was seriously going to give my parents my desktop, and use this as my regular computer. ah well, too bad so sad.



Dear Valued Customer,

Between May 22 and May 23, 2014, a pricing error occurred on the Lenovo Canada website for select Lenovo laptops which impacted your recent order. Please accept our sincere apologies for the difficulties and inconvenience caused by canceling your order due to the error.

Lenovo has already canceled the charges for your order. Additional time may be required for your financial institution to process the cancellation of charges against your account. We regret this mistake and are taking the necessary steps to make sure that this type of error does not happen again.

We value you as a customer and would like to earn back your business with an offer to take $100 off your next purchase of a Lenovo laptop PC.

You got an offer of $100 off next purchase. Why not buy yourself another laptop with that.......

[Ch28]

I thought it was a price error at first when I saw the thread. I looked through their site and there were a handful of laptops (at least) that had the same discount applied. The "DOORBUSTER" deal was listed on the website, banners, and each individual laptop page, so I assumed it was a legit deal. My assumption was based on the fact that they could simply be using this deal as a way of clearing out older stock, so I went into it expecting to get the laptop :lol

Now they're backtracking and stating that every single "DOORBUSTER" deal laptop was simply a price error. If each and every single one of those deals was a price error, then why were banners created that labeled those specific models as ones that are applicable during the "DOORBUSTER" deal?

It just reeks of a company simply using a bait and switch tactic. :suspicious:

:seriously: :rukidding:

The banner clearly said up to 41% off on the DOORBUSTER sale, yet many of the price error systems were advertising over 100% savings; that didn't clue you in? Or the simple fact that IT SAID OVER 100% OFF SAVINGS.

They likely intended to put those specific items on sale but somehow some poor low level data entry person accidentally put a decimal point in the wrong place that skewed the discount on the promo code across the board.

And as for 'bait and switch'... You actually think Lenovo thought they would be successful in upselling consumers who are willing to pay for a system for $279, to a system for $1,299 instead? getthefuckouttahere...

I don't know if people are just playing dumb to get the deal, or are ACTUALLY that dumb.

not sure if mentioned but to me this is all just a marketing tactic.

now they give 100 off to make 300 - 500 bucks off you.

so was the doorbusters to get everyone looking through their webpage for other items and deals.

[Dragon-88]

Meh, I'd only want the Helix or Thinkpad Yoga anyways.. Some people are just too butthurt over this. Get over it people, life will always have disappointments. Trying to justify your hate is a lost cause.

[sonick]

:suspicious: 100% savings= free

Exactly what I was saying. The deals page had systems advertised as more than 100% off yet people still didn't clue in it might have been an error:

.

lets be honest here, im pretty sure 99% of the people that bought in on this deal click on the RFD link and just ordered the one n only highend laptop for $279 n didnt check the others, so majority of the ppl would've missed the 119% off tag that r in other laptop selections, all i saw was 79% off for the y410p model from start to finish so i never realy suspected anything, although in the back of my mind i kinda knew it was a pricing error

i know i didnt see the 119% off tag on other laptops cus i also thought they were clearing out old laptops for cheap n didnt bother checking out other laptops cus this one was "good enough" for my mom to use, if i had seen that 119% off tag then i would've known this was for sure a pricing error
