A bit of a shame this.

Lets say 1000 are ordered. Fullfilment fee will be roughly £1.60+vat per item.

Seller will wake up to £1600+vat fullfilment fee with no earnings coming in to cover it.

If thats not bad enough has probably lost their full inventory.

Seems like nothing to a big company but will be devastating to a small retailer starting up.

But as long as everyone got a bargain.

Obvious mistake, you're just screwing over a business.

People make mistakes doesn't mean others have to rape it and ruin their business doe it?

They don't seem to be a big business, its fulfilled by amazon so most will be sent until the mistakes noticed.

The only person to lose out is the seller and posting it here probably just ruined them.

I hate the greed some people have on here

Received mine today (OnePlus Two), actually quite good quality too (Though I wouldn't pay £5.99!)

I paid nothing and I've got 40 cases... The discount is now gone so it was clearly a mistake, these all came with invoices stating £5.99. Chance I can send back and ask for refund??lol.. Sell to local mobile shop? What do you think? Surely I can make at least £100 off of these

Shipped, result :stuck_out_tongue:

This whole episode might have ruined someone. Probably seller going to lose their house, family homeless on the streets. But that's quite clearly a risk people are happy to take. What an awful thing if it's true. And everyone that "bought" will be haunted by guilt whenever they look at their phone. I really laying on with the trowel aren't I, I don't give a **** I'm just jealous I didn't get one.

The discount still works because they haven't noticed yet. They're still on their week-long Chinese holiday so they'll see the disaster on Monday.

Strange thing with this... the discount is STILL on.... the only ones available are with paying delivery... OR ADD ON ITEMS!!! The add on items can be purchased with a pre order item... such as a computer game or DVD coming out in a month or so... choose next day delivery or expedited... the discount is applied for the phone case... don't worry about the price of the game or DVD... this is charged when dispatched, not when ordered... so, once the phone case has been dispatched just cancel the game or DVD... this gets around the minimum charge for orders... repeat as needed ;-)

All the ones i ordered are either arriving today or dispatching today... i will do what someone said earlier and leave 5 star feedback... i guess we should ALL do that and the ones i don't need i will be donating to the local charity shop.

If businesses make bad moves, they fail. That is our economic system. Allegedly.
Someone organise a bailout! Osborne will save them!

surely if this was a mistake they would have stopped it by now. iv just checked and the discount is still applied on all items sold by profer and fulfilled by Amazon.

Bit over dramatic - can you verify points 1, 2 and 3? How do you know?

Everything else - sorry to be blunt but if one cant handle being in business emotionally then get a 9 to 5, business is not for the faint hearted, there is always worries and threats of either losing stock or competing for business and numerous other emotionally draining possibilities. You go in with the risks and if you then go and top yourself and take other poor souls with you because you couldn't handle it, then im afraid your a bloomin coward and one that would have been best suited stacking shelves at Tesco's - which I might add is an attractive job, no worries, hassle or sleepless nights.

This is a bargain site, dont come flaming people on here because they picked up a tenner someone dropped on the floor, flame the idiot that dropped it, or perhaps he/she is a real businessman/woman and writes it off as part of being in the game (if theres any loss that is).

On top of that you cant verify that this was not intentional i.e. clearing shelf space, business gone under and Amazon getting rid of stock, either way, tough, dont come judging on here. If the seller came on here then that would be a different story but your making a lot of assumptions here and having a go based on them.

Capitalism has a predatory aspect parts which are quite distasteful. I used to love the program storage hunters but then I started to feel bad thinking about the previous owners of the stuff who had probably died or gone broke their dreams unfulfilled and their treasured possessions and life's work being bartered over like dogs fighting for a bone.

I am not bothered about moralising on this, I think some people get a little bit worked up about things that don't really have anything to do with their lives.
What I will say is that I've been very impressed with the quality of my free phone case, whether it's freeness was intentional or not.
The very least I could do was leave a 5 star review on Amazon, as it is much better than the £4 case I bought last week. I'd never heard of Profer before, but will definitely consider them for future phone cases.

I didnt say I did. Where have I said "oh my goodness, the sky is falling, people are jumping from buildings" I simply said it can easily ruin a persons business and sadly sometimes when businesses fail or go under some people cant take it and resort to suicide.

Does that not happen?

There's a few points that we all know are true though.

1 - This was a mistake.
2 - This will cost the seller.
3 - Amazon will not help out the seller.
4 - People took the **** an ordered knowing it was a mistake.
5 - The only person that loses out is the seller for a simple mistake.
6 - If the shoe was on the other foot people like you would feel differently.
7 - People lowered themselves for the sake of a free phone cover which is pathetic.


Although ive known of many guys top themselves when a business has failed, I remember reading a few years ago of a guy that his business went under and it sent him over the edge he killed his wife his children and himself. Now obviously this wont always happen and is probably very rare but its possible.

It would take a lot more than a free phone cover for me to help ruin someones business thats all I'm saying :smiley:

Dont forget to leave a 5* review, only fair.

And you do have more of an idea?

I think the position I've set out is more realistic and real world than your "oh my goodness, the sky is falling, people are jumping from buildings" take on things.

My oh my. You lot can start an argument on anything! Maybe it's just my inexperience with Amazon, but if the seller is offering a £5.99 discount, and he knows he has items under £5.99, surely this is a move he's purposefully made? Either to get rid of stock or drum up business?

Why does everyone get so pumped up? :laughing:

Bit of a silly comment in my opinion. I'm 'well off' according to most comparisons but still enjoy this website. Not sure who you are to judge others on their rationale for visiting.

You obviously fall into the Holier than thou?? You have been posting about this since yesterday... i would say that YOU have no idea how this will affect the seller... or even if it is a mistake... unless YOU have spoken to them... if not, why not stop going on?

You forgot the people in the middle of the greedy and the holier than thou, you know the ones that say oh its ok I only ordered 1 it wont hurt anybody. They are the same as the people that order lots.

Youve no idea how this will affect the seller have you? unless you've spoke to them?

Indeed, the marginal cost of each of these is a few pence, with quite a markup to cover expenses and make a profit. Moreover, the organisation doing the selling is, according to Amazon, Lainyungang Jialai Maoyi Co. Ltd., i.e. a limited company, so in the worst case the company goes bust and Amazon are left out of pocket on their fees. This'll be an annoying lesson for someone, not a life changing event, and no one is going to lose the shirt of their back over it. As usual on HUKD we have naked greed on one extreme and naked holier-than-thou moralising on the other!

I got mine delivered today, didn't open it yet, I don't want to abuse the system so just ordered one which I am thinking now I shouldn't

You are too late.... all the covers have now gone with free delivery... seems they have picked up on it

Delivered! Just got an email :sunglasses:

I am prime member, why mine not yet dispatched?

BTW, I spent £0, Delivery speed: Expedited

Hi, wouldn't let me order this with Prime and wanted to charge £4.00 postage :disappointed:

Got mine.. They look great, thanks!

Love HUKD..... They wiped out EVERY cover for under the 5.99 discount.... the only stuff left is over that mark "A locust is for life...not just for Christmas"

I received dispatch e-mail, so looks its arriving.

People are jumping to conclusions, where's the proof that this seller has made a 'mistake' and is now facing the prospect that his business 'ruined'.

Some sellers do this to clear stock, especially if they are based some distance away and don't want to pay more storage fees if they are planning to bring newer stock in.

The reason there are no more prime option for deliveries, is because they have sold all the UK stock (Amazon) and now has to use stock from elsewhere, hence all add on items and £4 p+p items.

Only 135 on their rating, who says EU Profer is the only seller account, this guy might have 10, 20 or more seller accounts.

If this was a mistake, the seller would have pulled the promotion and Amazon would have already contacted him to any irregular purchases to confirm whether they continue to process the orders.

In my experience, these types of products have a quick turn around and healthy profit margin, due to the ever changing smart phone market.

I can see your point about shifting old stock but not at a loss.
They still have to pay fulfillment fee so does not make sense.
Pretty sure Amazon will have an option to scrap stock without incurring the cost of sending it out to customers for free.

Actually no, I dont feel the same way - Its business, its cut throat, you win, you lose, you make costly mistakes and if you cant handle some lost revenue in business then maybe one shouldn't be self employed, especially if your suicidal about losing some stock!!! Especially in the motor trade where you juggle thousands of pounds, some you win, and some you lose, sometimes you make costly mistakes, all part of the territory.

Business is a risk and you learn from your mistakes, sometimes it costs but you should always go in with "I might lose" attitude, and dont come blaming people on here for someones incompetence - if theres notes lying around on the pavement then people are bound to pick them up, plus the visitors on this site dont know if its Amazons error, or they are just clearing the shelves from leftover stock and applying the promotion.

Not buying as feel its unfair on the company involved but can anyone tell me if a Sammy s6 edge folio case would fit an s5? Wife is nagging me to find a folio case for her s5.

Most seem to be fulfilled by Amazon by the looks of it so they won't have a choice.
They don't need to go to work during this period but check their seller app on their phone surely. I sympathise up until when they get up tomorrow but beyond that they will be their own worst enemy if they never take a glance at their sales.

Ordering from big companies that screw up is one thing, but this seems like a smallish seller. I hope the negative feedback from you guys when they can't fulfill the orders doesn't hurt them so bad.

During Chinese New Year holiday 8-13 Feb, seldom heard that they go to work as far as I know.

It seem not a real deal offered by seller but mistake I am afraid.

But what happens if seller refuses to dispatch item? Would amazon do something to compensate buyer?

How greedy I can see from the speed of out-of-stock.
Nobody doesnt like freebies, but I can say someone are too greedy to order so many.

surely this deal should have been pulled anyway as seller rating is less than 95% ?

This should be spammed (spam button above in op) to prevent any more misery for the seller

Got 5 with no rush credit. Hopefully they go through ok.

A bit of a shame this.

Lets say 1000 are ordered. Fullfilment fee will be roughly £1.60+vat per item.

Seller will wake up to £1600+vat fullfilment fee with no earnings coming in to cover it.

If thats not bad enough has probably lost their full inventory.

Seems like nothing to a big company but will be devastating to a small retailer starting up.

But as long as everyone got a bargain.

8-13 Feb is the Chinese New Year holiday week so they won't notice for another week.

Amazon also have a seller phone app so can all be done from a phone.
Point taken about being 2am in China though, perhaps they will have a shock when they wake up.

Yeah.... Seller would probably screw me over at first chance but hey.....

I'm not saying its good to take advantage of an error but the seller will see every sale and every penny he will get from each. They can simply stop this as soon as they spot it, just increase the price to £20 or something. It takes a second for them to do it.

I hate the greed some people have on here

Ordered and then...... cancelled. Thanks One_way :stuck_out_tongue:

Theres many parts of this site its not just for deals, I enjoy other parts :smiley: and I try my best to help others and also I most a few deals if I see anything that might help others :smiley:

I said I dont care if I could drive 30 miles :neutral_face:

You dont need to reply hun really theres no need, I have to reply to you as I imagine no one else does or want to. :smiley:

Can they cancel the discount and charge from your credit card?

Great to hear see you!!

Dont bother coming back if you dont need this site as you said just!

Enjoy your 30 mile drives :sunglasses:

Where did I say I was rolling in cash :neutral_face: and to be honest I dont come on here for deals, If I want something I buy it I dont care if I can drive 30 minutes to save a score. :smiley: I come on here for the misc part :smiley:

Funny you are rolling in cash and still constantly on a save a penny website (Please reply to prove my point?).

do a new amazon account sign up for 30 day free prime ^^^^

how to buy when most only deliver when purchase is 20 quids and above?

Won't let me order as the 6S case is an 'add-on' item.

A proper job? :laughing: I retail and wholesale and have endless people wanting to start a business with me :smiley:

I dont think its fair calling people on job seeker allowance Dole Dossers, just shows everyone what a sad pathetic piece of work you are :smiley:

Enjoy your night love.

I am sorry you cant get a proper job but dont have a go at dole dossers it's not their fault.

Nope. Completely different shape/design. The Note 5 is designed pretty much like the S6 but bigger. Flash and HR monitor are in different places too

Maybe its because Im self employed and run a business that I feel this way and most people that run a business will feel the same.

I know its easy to sit their not caring on Job Seekers but if you got your money cut because you used crayon instead of black ink to fill out a form youd be the first to cry about it. :smiley:

Yeah well Amazon dont want to loose out aswell :laughing: look after themselves

Its you that needs supervising whilst on the internet Bro

For what does it profer a man, if he shall gain all the phone cases and lose his own soul?

Dont get precious, every cheaper deal on here affects that business negatively no matter what size. If you have never bought a cheap item then more fool you but if you have you are a hypocrite my friend.

Still works but none of the freebies (£5.99 or less) have the no-rush delivery option anymore (only Expedited Delivery) so no £1 credit.

This should be spammed or removed as it is a private seller. I have reported this thread to the mods to remove, maybe those who feel the same way as me should report it too

Have a cup of tea and go to bed Bro, no more unsupervised internet for you

Just ordered and it is still working, I have Prime so not sure if this makes a difference.

I love a clear conscience and take pride in the fact I havent contributed in the suicide of a man, father, husband because his business has gone under and feels hes failed his family :smiley:

You enjoy that Blood Cover though Bro :wink:

They wont get cancelled or the majority wont anyway,

Love a freebie Bro

Yet you ordered :neutral_face:

No its down to the company, Amazon will not do anything. It happens often amazon still get their fees and businesses are ruined.

Sold out, that was quick

I was joking, there is no difference its sad that people are ordering.

Was able to "buy" 6

There are/were cases available for delivery tomorrow. These will get through I guarantee it. Mine are already saying preparing for dispatch, arriving tomorrow.




The damage is already done

The machine you used to type in this comment is guaranteed to be made in China, so show some respect to them fellow

Has anyone found one for the LG G Flex 2? Had no luck so far

ordered 200 for ebay

I'll let them know of the error

I ordered any old crap (as I dont use cases) & selected slow delivery for £1 marketplace credit :oD
Heat just for that

maybe its just me but this feel morally wrong, especially as it is affecting a relatively small 3rd party seller

I dont expect some UK companies have much better credit than Chinese ones.

Just brought four different items, each time I purchased them Individually so it re applied discounts, worked on other items by them aswell like the 40w 5 port USB paid less than £9 heat added thanks

No the company sends them to amazon warehouse so amazon fulfil the order its the best way to sell on amazon, it means you just send the stock to them and let them do everything.

well, it certainly does work. Ended up spending 22 quid as the G4 cases are add-on though... The HUKD/Amazon effect strikes once more!

Cheers just ordered mine!

Obvious mistake, you're just screwing over a business.

If it is a mistake I would hope they have tools to spot unusual buying patterns and step in to protect the seller, but what happens after it's sent? Can they force you to send it back or charge you if you don't? Prime orders move to picked or dispatched very quickly.

Well I have ordered a leather case for Smart Ultra 6 for £2, their mistake or not.

People make mistakes doesn't mean others have to rape it and ruin their business doe it?

They don't seem to be a big business, its fulfilled by amazon so most will be sent until the mistakes noticed.

The only person to lose out is the seller and posting it here probably just ruined them.

My prime ran out so I made another account and ordered one. Thanks a bunch mate!

Ha, ordered but not expecting to actually get the item...

Any easy way to search for specific phones?

Looking for S5 but can't find anything.

Wonder if they will actually honor this!

This will be another amazon error that puts a seller out of business...

thanks found one that would be suitable

free and delivered by the 10thcan;t ask for more

heat added thanks

The only 6/s cases are add-on items so not 'free' if you have Prime.

Anything for the iPhone 5c?

It's the 6S PLUS case, by the way. That's the bigger version of the phone. No free cases to fit the normal sized iPhone 6.

Anyone know if the note 5 cases would fit the note 4?

thanks, worked for me

You can make multiple orders and the discount gets applied to each order

Very good find. Just a shame there's no cases for iPhone 6 and 5s

only takes £5.99 off once but works on cheaper cases too!

I phone cases too guys

Wowww.Thanks OP. Free case with free prime delivery.HOT.

can confirm. Good find OP! :smiley:

Thanks, just ordered one
