I'd probably go for this but it stands no real chance of being honoured. I presume it's supposed to be £189.99, still a decent price at that!

Pretty sure the charging of a card against a purchase is what forms the contract. I don’t think it’s that easy for them to simply cancel given they have already accepted the terms from their side. In any case, it might be worth having the Trading Standards consumer advice number handy: 0345 404 0506

Even if I choose an argos card it's "unable to process my payment" so I'm guessing they've cottoned onto it.

Ordered with PayPal but I got " You submitted an order amounting to £89.99 GBP to Argos Limited Thanks for using PayPal. Please note that this is not a charge”
Therefore I suspect it will be easily cancelled by Argos. At least I tried (would be gutted if I missed out).
I Feel sorry for the poor soul that gets in at 8am and has to resolve this (including the 1,000's of orders........

Forget it. The last time there was an issue with their online website with a certain 20% off voucher code. Listed on here they totally ignored the basket price and still charged full price. They have a terrible honouring system.
You might as well cancel your order or face a huge argument about it all.

Great find buzz but I don't think Argos will honour this one. Historically they will revert to T&Cs to say the don't have to follow through will the stated price. Good luck to all partyuds
cookiefaerie
14 Sep 17#151
Can't see Argos honouring this but hey, I tried! First order seemed to go through fine but I didn't receive an order confirmation email and the order wasn't showing when I checked my account. Tried again only to fail with the "unable to process payment" type messages on two cards and PayPal, but managed to get a final try through, complete with an order confirmation email. I've just checked my account and two orders are now showing (still only one email though). I don't want two (slimmest chance ever they'd be honoured anyway) so going to cancel the one order, although Argos will probably do that for me

Used IE instead of Edge and it went through!
Fingers crossed. I half think this isn't a misprice, this limited edition isn't new and you have to pre-order. I think we may be in with a chance that they are just clearing stock. I'm going to give the one I've ordered to my son, would have liked one for myself but don't have enough time to play on the PS4 and PC as it is.

sebrichter
14 Sep 17#179
Well. That’s my point. They can’t formulate terms that are against the basis of how a contract is formed by law. The same way they can’t make consumer rights unavailable through their T&Cs. I’m not quite sure looking at that paragraph in their T&C where they indicate a contract is formed. Like I said, I’m pretty sure the law sees an agreement being made online when a customer clicks order and consequently only when the retailer chargers against the card. This is the basis of how the law sees a creation of a contract, regardless of what T&Cs there are. I’m fully aware that I may be wrong. But I’ll contact Trading Standards to confirm later.

I agree its extremely unlikely to get honoured the huge amount of orders they had in. That said as no one has had any cancellations yet its too early to say for certain unless argos have posted anything officially?
I had an argos mix up last year with an xbox one s preorder (when the actual s was new out) and though they didn't honour the actual console i ended up getting a £50 gift card after making a complaint, so though you almost certainly wont get the actual console those lucky enough to order may well get some other goodwill gesture in return...

First order attempt failed, tried again and it went through. Just checked my bank 2 payments have been taken and had no email order confirmation. Be careful guys its charging your card even though it says failed.
Argos website seems very broken right now. Ordering took multiple times at the checkout. I've not had an order confirmation though and the item doesn't appear in my orders list.
I guess everyone is DDoS due to this listing.

It's like a pork chop being thrown into a piranha filled pond when a misprice comes up.
Alwaysamazes me 1) people expect to have the price honoured, and 2) the op posts the deal. Maybe just one deal will get through. But a spike of orders in the thousands? They're going to be made aware of that and shut it down.

100% agree on a misprice you personally spot. But on a 10000+ heat deal on here that 100s have ordered.... different story. each to their own.
My logic is have a punt or dont. We know 99% of the time it won't be honoured.
No one with half a brain needed it confirming this was a misprice and an error

What do they "need to get out of", their T&C are definitive, contract formed on despatch.. i.e. when they cant do anything about it. This reminds me of the geat 'Pixmania TV' row of 2011, everyone was CERTAIN they had a case, they even had a "lawyer" who was going to lead the group action.... guess how many got a TV? (I'll give you hint, it was less than 1!)
As Buzz said, these are ALWAYS worth a shot, but FFS please dont wind yourself up with ideas of forcing this price, unless you get this in your hands, you have NO chance, save yourself the heartache :thumbsup:

Just off to post some sensible, intelligent comments on the comment section of the Daily Mail site to just round off a morning of time wasting.
Also your comment pointing out that me pointing out that some else is wasting time is wasting time is also wasting time......

THE SMALL PRINT *Prices correct as displayed but are subject to change.
and their terms and conditions state:
"If you reserve a product and the price changes (due to normal fluctuations e.g. goods going into or coming out of promotion) before you collect the item, you may request to pay the lowest of i) the price on reservation or ii) the prevailing price in store at the time of collection. This will also apply if your reservation is extended but not if the reservation collection window has expired."

The law also protects retailers from misprices where it should have been clearly to the consumer this was the case. The fact that he most likely ordered based on information in this thread which the title includes the word Misprice shows he knowingly bought the item at the wrong price. Anyone stupid enough to actually take Argos to court would be foolish as all Argos would have to do is show this thread as evidence that the Misprice was well known and being taken advantage of to the detriment of their business.

Biddy2
14 Sep 17#302
Loss of Bargain is a legal rule that damages paid to the aggrieved party in a breach of contract case, should be sufficient in amount to put that party in a position it would have been had the breach not occurred. Argos aren’t in breach of contract for you to claim unfair contract terms yet as they haven’t dispatched the item. There is no contract and therefore, you can’t claim Loss of Bargain.
By all means, pursue it, but the law is very clear on the matter. :thumbsup:

You could say, 'why didnt they check it in the first place', they are both reasonable questions BUT worthless in law.
As I always say on threads like this (and there have been many!), try to think if it was YOUR company, would you just honour a load of misprices? woud you want the law to force you to do that? There are so many products at Argos, its not hard to see why they make errors, this is exactly why ALL sensible e-tailers will include the "contract formed on despatch"

Not necessarily. Depends on conditions around shipping. Most often it's when something leaves their despatch that it technically not becomes your item.
if they got it back mid delivery it's a high possibility it wasn't legally your item by that point

My order is showing, then you click in it and it says No Order found... Yet I got a confirmation order. I think they need to get someone better to write their site and database....
LondonTTB to louisefinlay
14 Sep 17#441
I'd hope my history would show I am not a troll. The pre order was definitely a price error, and was for a future item and date. These other misprinted items at 9:30 am weren't on the radar at that time so I'm presuming that Argos either weren't aware at this point, or were aware but had yet to make stores aware of particulars.
As with many glitches, etc, if you scream it from the rooftops, it WILL get patched and closed. If you keep it to yourself, it'll likely be there for a longer time, before getting closed

Are you trolling? surely their systems are advanced enough to stop all sales of mspriced items as they all use the same EPOS dont they? Without wishing to appear rude, can you post a pic of this loot as it seems weird youre the only one getting it :thumbsup:

Yeah but you could say well if it was wrong, why did they take the site down, "sort it out" make it live again with the same price if the price was wrong?

Got the same text, I'm not expecting anything as the console isnt out till 3rd October.
To be honest it amuses me how people can get so worked up over an obvious miss price. If it comes off on the rare occasion then great but we all know that 99% of the time they will be cancelled! Just let it go and move on! Won't stop me ordering again when the next miss price appears but I won't beat myself up if it doesn't come off! :unamused:

It said this to me too. I tried with visa debit twice and once with PayPal. But the money has been taken from the bank as confirmed by a phone call to my bank. Phoned Argos and they said the money will be returned to me within 24-48 hours.
So as far as I can tell all I've done is reduced the available balance in my bank account for two days.

Are you for Real?!?!
You knowingly spent £89.99 on an item which wasn't even in stock, as it was a Pre Order, hopefully you realised that it wasn't even due to be released until NEXT MONTH. Yet now are moaning about having to wait for you pending transaction to go back on your card when you knew from vast comments it was never going to happen anyway.
You do realise most retailers bar 2 take money upfront for all preorders, should be glad that they don't make you wait until October and cancel, you would knowingly be 3 weeks without your £89.99

Why are people so salty over this? For them to honour it, they would lose hundreds of thousands of pounds with the volumes ordered. Some times companies will take the hit and honour a price glitch, but this would be under cost, most likely a loss of £150 a unit, sure they would garner some goodwill for honouring it but that would never translate and make up the shortfall. Don't get me wrong a small token apology would have been nice!

Argos is a big company and can more than afford to cover the loss of money from their price mistake!! Poor show argos, the amount of traffic to their website today because of this could have gained them a good lot of other sales anyway.

Dear santa,
I've been a very good boy this year. There have been many deals posted on hukd but I've managed to behave and control myself. The Samsung S8 came up. But I said no, no! The note 8 came. But I said no, no!
Now that this deal has been posted, I have no option but to say yes please!
Santa, please, please please have a word with your elves over at Argos and and get them to fulfil my order.
Thank you
Love, K

14 Sep 17#591
Been charged but not showing on my account as an order and no email. Am I right in thinking the contract is only considered good once the item is dispatched? By which I mean if I say nothing until after the 3rd October will they have to honour it as they have technically charged me? Just a thought. But no, not holding my breath!

NorthernMonkey82
14 Sep 17#601
I don't think it really matters whether people tried to order one or ten - they'd have picked up on it and refused to honour as per their terms and conditions. You wonder whether they do things like this on purpose to drum up interest as lets be honest, there should be enough systems in place to make sure they price something correctly and how many people would have clicked on it at £350?
bbfb123
14 Sep 17#602
It's possible. I've been charged for 4 even though I only ordered 2 on my bank account. No idea if my credit card has been charged but I tried that a couple times too. Wouldn't even let me log in on paypal so that should be fine.

14 Sep 17#608
this is a pricing error which is currently in the process of being updated. The correct price is £349.99, apologies we will not be honouring this price. If you have placed a successful order you be contacted to advise the order has been cancelled and refunded. If you have not received any confirmation for this order it is likely the order was not successfully completed and any pending payments on your account will be automatically refunded. ~ Lisa

Contract is formed on despatch. Also they're covered on misprices in section 4. You really think Argos legal haven't covered this type of error? It's obvious mistake, good luck if you get one but trading standards won't be interested, I've tried before! A retailer sets when a contract is formed.

The companies probably get alerts when multiple orders are received from the same account. The greed or what ever you might call of some individuals who will always order in multiples I believe highlights the error.

I would say if payment has gone from your account & shows on your statement (& not just in the 'allocated/holding' area) - then you can claim the transaction was completed & entitled to your goods.

There will be some financial reason behind this, that's why they take the money instantly. £89.99 is too random an amount for an accidental misprice.

I guess you've never been involved in marketing? This might be the case if this was some site that no one had ever head of. But the idea that argos marketing dept. are deliberately misleading people to 'draw people in' is such a nonsense I can't believe people actually think it.
Firstly they put themselves at risk of legal action, secondly this generates bad will not good will. It makes them look like amateurs, where as they obviously want to be seen as a one of the UK's most established retailers that people can trust.
Secondly the clicks on this (that generate bad will anyway) are so tiny in the great scheme of things as to likely be irrelevant to their bottom line. Even if EVERY person bought something else after buying this, it would be impossible to quantify the damage done when all those people get a cancelled order. They may never return again.
Do you see why as a marketing campaign it's impossible to sell? There's reason they run nationally advertised £5 off over £50 Etc.
Honestly the comments on here never cease to amaze me. It's like being in a room with a bunch of conspiracy theorists. smh

I got an order in an hour or so ago, I think they were already on their way to sorting it though because I couldnt order the item on its own. Added a controller accessory and then it worked but at the final checkout stage it implied only the extra item was ordered. When the order confirmation came through it was the full amount and both items - so I dont even know if im "in it to win it" at this stage!

Brace yourselves for a flood of self righteous fury and people swearing off Argos forever because their blatantly mis-priced deal didn't go through.
I see I'm already too late for the short sighted people who think they'd have got away with it if not for a few people talking to customer service (those meddling kids). Deals like this are so entertaining.

Biddy2 to HistoricDealer
14 Sep 17#664
Yes, because Argos don’t realise the pricing error when thousands of these orders go through their systems... :joy:
There is a reason that HUKDs bingo card is posted on this deal. It’s because comments like these are repeatedly posted in misprice deals.
For those who don’t know. You have no sales contract until it is dispatched. There is no point arguing this point by saying you was charged as the law is the law. Your payment is only half of the contract.
Anyone who phoned Argos about this deal has not “alerted” them. They knew already because it was posted on here. Millions use this site. Thousands of orders will have been placed. This will show in Argos’ systems
With misprices, nothing is guaranteed. You win some, you lose some.

So tried to purchase! At the payment stage entered card details and system went off to approve transaction. Errrr Error card not processed so tried again and same thing. But after the second time of failing to close the deal, I looked at bank account to find two lots of £89.99 pending payment. looks like I will have to wait for my money back. Worth the punt though if it had pulled off.

For your info if you are not aware sir, there has been certain occasions one or two people have called companies to ask if they will get their items. Further more certain companies do honour it. I have been honoured few things, 1 which was the t-mobile glitch. 0.00p per month for 250min, 250text and 500mb. That was 3 years ago and I still have it even though ee has taken over it but they now charge me 50p per month.... :blush:

Ordered 2 and got the confirmation email. Not sure why people have contacted Argos about this... surely it's alerted them to the problem and will make it less likely we'll receive the goods at that price.

A good find but realistically Argos were never going to honour this.
I once bought a towel set, from Argos, for a couple of quid a towel and someone got in contact with me saying that it was a mis-price and if I'd still like them I can pay for them but it would be 10x the price. Swiftly told them to jog on!
They took the money straight after ordering and it took about 3 working days to get back.

It's been mentioned a few times, the site as a whole works for 99.9% of items, but the affected deals seem blocked (you get stuck in a buffering limbo when adding to basket).
All of those were actual items to order, rather than the Minecraft Xbone which is actually a pre-order.
I'm sure there's more, but looks like Argos has found the clangers - fingers crossed a few people got to collect them from store before Argos had time to react!

You obviously don't/haven't ever worked in a Customer Service role of any description.
How "obvious" it is or isn't that it's a price error is very subjective. £89.99 is still a sensible price for a piece of technology, if it was £8.99 then yes, it would be pretty obvious even to someone not au fait with technology prices that it was a mistake. At £89.99 it could easily be perceived as a special offer / stock volume reduction price by a typical consumer (I dont include the HUKDers among us in that bracket!).
As such, a nominal voucher (£5 or so) would be a typical move by the retailer to avoid any bad will from customers.

Damn you Serle. And to think if that one guy hadn't mentioned this, Argos would never have realised they'd sold thousands of these this morning at a massive discount, probably more than they had stock available for, and you'd all have gotten a bargain Xbox.
BuzzDuraband to miikeyblue
14 Sep 17#262
Come on guys. Let's not turn this into a war.
It was always going to be a punt. Clearly titled as a mis-price. We've all had a go at one at some point. Won some and lost some. It's the way it is with the mis priced items, if you're not in it, you're never going to become one of the 'lucky ones' - In it to win it.
We all get a little heated sometimes when it doesn't turn out, and I suppose in a way we convince ourselves it's going to happen with little statements that aren't really justified.
My last misprice was a £250 George vac, I paid £19. I didn't expect it, it was cancelled and it still turned up. It's ok getting all the everyday low priced items at £5 off, but it's those mega deals that pay off in the end that are the satisfying ones.
Everybody tried, no harm done. If it doesn't turn out then worst case scenario you will be refunded...at some point. Apologies to those who feel I shouldn't have shared this, but it's what I do. I really hope even one person makes use of this post. Merry Christmas to you all :smile:

:stuck_out_tongue: Sharing it isn’t really a problem though Buzz. You win some, you lose some. Had Argos corrected this sooner, earlier buyers would have had a chance still. So many factors in getting these misprices that there isn’t really a wrong or right way to get them. It’s all luck at the end of the day. :thumbsup:

Get ready for this: "4.3 a) Online price errors. If we discover an error in the price of goods ordered or reserved, we will inform you as soon as possible (e.g. prior to the goods being despatched or in store prior to the collection of the goods). We will provide you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you choose to cancel and have already paid for the goods you will receive a full refund."

While I understand I’m likely incorrect, I’m pretty sure the consumer helpline is there for the sole purpose of answering consumer questions - if I can have a fact I’m unsure about explained by experts why would I choose not to?

Interest - not business.

The 89.99 price came up, but this is what i got once i places order... highly unlikely they would honour it
Hope it goes through now and I have the little one in my hands....;)
Had to try every type of payment method before my order would go through but finally got one ordered so fingers crossed!

So I think that they are obviously aware of the situation so possibly a lot won't be honoured

There is a £200 bundle with Destiny 2 Fallout 4 Dishonored 2 Doom & 2 month TV Pass.
Wouldn't let me use Paypal either. Ah well.
Just joking :face_with_monocle:
Very good luck to anyone who gets this delivered, if you do, put a few quid on the lotto. :wink:
companies do loss leaders etc but often to basket build.
I gave up after the 10th attempt to pay :laughing:
You submitted an order amounting to £89.99 GBP to Argos Limited
Thanks for using PayPal. Please note that this is not a charge”
Therefore I suspect it will be easily cancelled by Argos. At least I tried (would be gutted if I missed out).
I Feel sorry for the poor soul that gets in at 8am and has to resolve this (including the 1,000's of orders........
You might as well cancel your order or face a huge argument about it all.
heat OP
Side note this is very ugly lol, but good value lol
... just checked my bank and it's taken two lots of £89.99 so I'm either gonna get 3 or none at all! :laughing:
Well done Argos :angry:
Awaiting web chat to see if someone else has a better answer :thinking:
Says still processing and no email confirmation as of yet
Good luck all
How do I fix this? Will they refund it all automatically? Nothing showing on online banking yet just my balance has gone down.
Thanks
They didnt answer the phone
Fingers crossed. I half think this isn't a misprice, this limited edition isn't new and you have to pre-order. I think we may be in with a chance that they are just clearing stock. I'm going to give the one I've ordered to my son, would have liked one for myself but don't have enough time to play on the PS4 and PC as it is.
Paypal and Amex not working atm
What a surprise !
Worth a punt, thanks OP :thumbsup:
I had an argos mix up last year with an xbox one s preorder (when the actual s was new out) and though they didn't honour the actual console i ended up getting a £50 gift card after making a complaint, so though you almost certainly wont get the actual console those lucky enough to order may well get some other goodwill gesture in return...
High five for the risk :raised_hand:
I guess everyone is DDoS due to this listing.
Those twonks...
Supervisor looks into issue and detects 100’s of £89.99 orders all placed in a 60min window. Flags all for cancellation and save Argos £10000’s. Supervisor gets £100 bonus for detection an issue.
We all lose out. Thanks
Alwaysamazes me 1) people expect to have the price honoured, and 2) the op posts the deal. Maybe just one deal will get through. But a spike of orders in the thousands? They're going to be made aware of that and shut it down.
Kidding, good post. Shouldn't be necessary but unfortunately, it is.
"Have been dealing with an upset child all morning. How Argos could do this I do not know"
It was worth a try though.

Website is now down for maintenance so it looks like they’ve resolving a pretty big issue!
But on a 10000+ heat deal on here that 100s have ordered.... different story.
each to their own.
My logic is have a punt or dont.
We know 99% of the time it won't be honoured.
No one with half a brain needed it confirming this was a misprice and an error
As Buzz said, these are ALWAYS worth a shot, but FFS please dont wind yourself up with ideas of forcing this price, unless you get this in your hands, you have NO chance, save yourself the heartache :thumbsup:
This happens every other week, what makes you think this is any different?
or will they cancel it just the same?
Apparently its a misprice and it isn't really £89.99 and the system let them know and they wont be honouring the deals.
Just off to post some sensible, intelligent comments on the comment section of the Daily Mail site to just round off a morning of time wasting.
Also your comment pointing out that me pointing out that some else is wasting time is wasting time is also wasting time......
damn this is a vicious cycle... as my response to your response is also time wasting....
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
is all Buzz's fault....
damn him to hell.
This is a message regarding your order Due to a pricing issue your order has been cancelled. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.
As you can see I still don't have an order number or cancellation text. But I do have a PAYPAL invoice...
(_;)
c'mon argos, i never expected it, wasnt even cross at cancellation confirmation, but sort your post-order automated workflow out!
THE SMALL PRINT
*Prices correct as displayed but are subject to change.
and their terms and conditions state:
"If you reserve a product and the price changes (due to normal fluctuations e.g. goods going into or coming out of promotion) before you collect the item, you may request to pay the lowest of i) the price on reservation or ii) the prevailing price in store at the time of collection. This will also apply if your reservation is extended but not if the reservation collection window has expired."
You never know
Mine is still "Sit tight - we're processing your order".
Was worth a try :relaxed:
Strong case if payment has left your account & appears on your statement.
Guys ive started a petition to try and get argos to honor the price! just had my order cancelled and they claimed it was for legal reasons.... Just admit you cocked up!
By all means, pursue it, but the law is very clear on the matter. :thumbsup:
As I always say on threads like this (and there have been many!), try to think if it was YOUR company, would you just honour a load of misprices? woud you want the law to force you to do that? There are so many products at Argos, its not hard to see why they make errors, this is exactly why ALL sensible e-tailers will include the "contract formed on despatch"
Easy ££&
Showing as pending transaction on my amex
if they got it back mid delivery it's a high possibility it wasn't legally your item by that point
argos.co.uk/pro…864
argos.co.uk/pro…819
Oh well....ive never had a misprice honoured :disappointed:
Maybe a Sorry card? :thinking:
Daily star says it wont be honoured. oh well, bit gutted
As with many glitches, etc, if you scream it from the rooftops, it WILL get patched and closed. If you keep it to yourself, it'll likely be there for a longer time, before getting closed
It already on the news!
Yeah.... none of this is getting honored. There would of been a slight chance if it was just this item.
luck

(BTW I was being sarcastic too!)
I couldn't care less about Xbone. It's for hubby. PS4 or Switch for me :grin:
We shall not be defeated.
Argos will not honour price.
bbc.co.uk/new…315
They said I just need to pay an extra £200 odd and it'll ship as soon as it comes into stock.
I always new I was one of their special customers :sunglasses:
dailymail.co.uk/new…tml
Yeah im talking about the ones who only ordered one thinking it would slip through and your not being greedy
Shame on the others who ordered 2 lmao
Like hundreds have said,, it wont be honored anyway so why not order two.
Anyway ive got my 100, selling them for £160 each delivered incase everyone missed out
:imp:
Ding dong! Slap!!
Time to order another 25.
They must have lost a lot of trade this morning.
Argos refuses to honour 'bargain' pricing error on Xbox One
....Ooooh, that's not a bad price for click and collect......
But the money has been taken from the bank as confirmed by a phone call to my bank. Phoned Argos and they said the money will be returned to me within 24-48 hours.
So as far as I can tell all I've done is reduced the available balance in my bank account for two days.
HOT!
0800 085 0565 in case anyone needs the Freephone number
Argos has ruined Christmas for the orphanage. And little Timmy wanted this minesweeper edition so much.
You do realise most retailers bar 2 take money upfront for all preorders, should be glad that they don't make you wait until October and cancel, you would knowingly be 3 weeks without your £89.99
Do you REALLY think Argos will read that?!
no completed but they place charge 3x 89.99 on my card...
not sure about status as website down
Order details showing up with no number and product, assuming I'll be refunded. I purchased oven trays to be delivered with this, as the order wouldn't go through with just the xbox. Tweeted them and they said they'd refund the trays and delivery, and I've had the refund email and text twice.

You can clearly see the sarcasm and then there's the serious, for those serious...well good luck
argos.co.uk/pro…745
Just ordered 8.
(Mine was cancelled too)
Mine showing cancelled... :disappointed:
Where do I complain to? :thumbsup:
They cancelled mine :disappointed:
Don't get me wrong a small token apology would have been nice!
Money still pending
No cancellation text as of yet
Order in the tevrbt
Not much hope left
they should honour all the sales at that price though!!
Argos is a big company and can more than afford to cover the loss of money from their price mistake!! Poor show argos, the amount of traffic to their website today because of this could have gained them a good lot of other sales anyway.
To get you started...
Thanks
Update*** email from Argos confining my order and delivery....
My lesson learned to avoid these in it to win it deals next time i guess.
Our Doris said the Xbox One X was the final straw and has hid the bank cards. I've looked everywhere but can't find them. Ta in advance, appreciated.
I've been a very good boy this year. There have been many deals posted on hukd but I've managed to behave and control myself.
The Samsung S8 came up. But I said no, no!
The note 8 came. But I said no, no!
Now that this deal has been posted, I have no option but to say yes please!
Santa, please, please please have a word with your elves over at Argos and and get them to fulfil my order.
Thank you
Love,
K
:dizzy_face:
Follow up = email received to say due to price error they were unable to process my order. :cry:
Fingers crossed...
We have all seen fleabay sellers here, anyway I hope you all get lucky.
If a certain product starts selling at a crazy rate the "computer" (welcome to the future) will flag a warning long before anyone contacts customer services! :thumbsup:
Works fine for me, can't wait!!
Firstly they put themselves at risk of legal action, secondly this generates bad will not good will. It makes them look like amateurs, where as they obviously want to be seen as a one of the UK's most established retailers that people can trust.
Secondly the clicks on this (that generate bad will anyway) are so tiny in the great scheme of things as to likely be irrelevant to their bottom line. Even if EVERY person bought something else after buying this, it would be impossible to quantify the damage done when all those people get a cancelled order. They may never return again.
Do you see why as a marketing campaign it's impossible to sell? There's reason they run nationally advertised £5 off over £50 Etc.
Honestly the comments on here never cease to amaze me. It's like being in a room with a bunch of conspiracy theorists. smh
Argos last 5 years and they never honoured One in delivery only in store collection that's before they noticed

Order status
Marketing manager: "I've got this great idea guys. Let's do a misprice, then loads of people will visit the site and order it. Then when they've gone to all that hassle, let's cancel all the orders, and people can then spend five days checking for their refunds. I think that's sure to get people using us more often! What do you reckon guys!"
Failed on both occasions, but they have still taken my money.
Be careful - check your apps/statements.
Sad sad little lives.
If you wanna a have a punt have a pun
1) Go looking for some spraypaint to 'redecorate' that fugly console
or
2) Redo my entire front room with a Minecraft theme
:stuck_out_tongue:
or secret option 3) - forget about the entire thing cos it's never gonna happen!
*Prices correct as displayed but are subject to change.
Argos wtf! I don't have any money.
I roll the HUKD way :wink:
Idiot calls them: "Mmmm hello I'm a d*** head and found a glitch on your website, will you be honouring it" :poop:
Argos: can I have the product code please, oh yes I can see, yes yes yes thank you so much for informing us, we will be sending emails to confirm to every single HOTUKDEALS members that unfortunately their order will need to be now cancelled as an d*** head has made us aware of the miss price... :raised_hand: :relaxed: ... is there anything else I can help you with!!!!!!!!!!!
If the item has left their hands they have to honour it, not if they haven't even dispatched it yet.
Pretty sure the contract is formed upon dispatch.
ordering one and seeing what happens may equal a bargain (game Mafia springs to mind) or a voucher... ringing/email will not ever result in anything....
Also just checked my CC and its showing as two payments pending. Will keep an eye on them. Hopefully people with multiple attempts havent been stung with 10 or 11 pending payments? lol
I see I'm already too late for the short sighted people who think they'd have got away with it if not for a few people talking to customer service (those meddling kids). Deals like this are so entertaining.
Yes, because Argos don’t realise the pricing error when thousands of these orders go through their systems... :joy:
There is a reason that HUKDs bingo card is posted on this deal. It’s because comments like these are repeatedly posted in misprice deals.
For those who don’t know. You have no sales contract until it is dispatched. There is no point arguing this point by saying you was charged as the law is the law. Your payment is only half of the contract.
Anyone who phoned Argos about this deal has not “alerted” them. They knew already because it was posted on here. Millions use this site. Thousands of orders will have been placed. This will show in Argos’ systems
With misprices, nothing is guaranteed. You win some, you lose some.
Would not be surprised to see a price drop in time for Christmas or the Fifa 18 bundle
They will have received thousands more visitors and orders than they were expecing, that alone would have alerted them.
Ordered using my Argos card.
It was unlikely anyway, but as others have said. You gotta be in it to win it.
Am I heading towards a loss of £89.99
I think this is where people are going wrong.
I once bought a towel set, from Argos, for a couple of quid a towel and someone got in contact with me saying that it was a mis-price and if I'd still like them I can pay for them but it would be 10x the price. Swiftly told them to jog on!
They took the money straight after ordering and it took about 3 working days to get back.
the Argos terms and conditions state that the order is acknowledged when payment is taken, and accepted once dispatched.
I can't wait. I've been waiting for a sub-£100 xBox since they came out.
From within the thread, ones that are already in limbo (i.e. don't flame me for outing them!) are;
argos.co.uk/pro…45 £6.99 Moto G5
argos.co.uk/pro…753 £19.99 Moto G5 Plus
argos.co.uk/pro…864 £25.99 MSI Gaming Laptop
argos.co.uk/pro…819 £51.99 HP Laptop
All of those were actual items to order, rather than the Minecraft Xbone which is actually a pre-order.
I'm sure there's more, but looks like Argos has found the clangers - fingers crossed a few people got to collect them from store before Argos had time to react!
Edit: All in one PCs also stuck in the buffering limbo
Cannot log in to the website as it is down for updates right now (9.40am) and no emails.
We will see :smile:
Been charged 3 times :angry: :angry:
hotukdeals.com/dea…001
expectations, low :wink:
:joy: :joy: :joy: :joy:
They honoured the call of duty pre-order one few months ago. Should have been £80 they sold it for £40
The higher their loss the less chance of it being honoured I guess.
Hope I'm wrong!
How "obvious" it is or isn't that it's a price error is very subjective. £89.99 is still a sensible price for a piece of technology, if it was £8.99 then yes, it would be pretty obvious even to someone not au fait with technology prices that it was a mistake. At £89.99 it could easily be perceived as a special offer / stock volume reduction price by a typical consumer (I dont include the HUKDers among us in that bracket!).
As such, a nominal voucher (£5 or so) would be a typical move by the retailer to avoid any bad will from customers.
How much money do you want from me argos you bastards!
Love a misprice, you guys are hilarious!
It was always going to be a punt. Clearly titled as a mis-price. We've all had a go at one at some point. Won some and lost some. It's the way it is with the mis priced items, if you're not in it, you're never going to become one of the 'lucky ones' - In it to win it.
We all get a little heated sometimes when it doesn't turn out, and I suppose in a way we convince ourselves it's going to happen with little statements that aren't really justified.
My last misprice was a £250 George vac, I paid £19. I didn't expect it, it was cancelled and it still turned up. It's ok getting all the everyday low priced items at £5 off, but it's those mega deals that pay off in the end that are the satisfying ones.
Everybody tried, no harm done. If it doesn't turn out then worst case scenario you will be refunded...at some point. Apologies to those who feel I shouldn't have shared this, but it's what I do. I really hope even one person makes use of this post. Merry Christmas to you all :smile:
We'll see what happens.
You've got to be pretty dense if you think that they would never have picked up on this after the 10000% increase in expected orders and website traffic.
Contacting the company DOES NOTHING but waste your and their time.
Thanks notabluff, I'm busy a lot of the time these days but this put a big smile on my face.
:stuck_out_tongue: Sharing it isn’t really a problem though Buzz. You win some, you lose some. Had Argos corrected this sooner, earlier buyers would have had a chance still. So many factors in getting these misprices that there isn’t really a wrong or right way to get them. It’s all luck at the end of the day. :thumbsup:
