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.

I'm sure sales of a certain item suddenly jumping up 10000000% probably doesn't help either :grin:

Didn't get a confirmation just a error but charged 3 lots of 89.99
My lesson learned to avoid these in it to win it deals next time i guess.

Wrong, until the product had left their hands, it's still theirs. The money can be refunded.

It will be refunded soon, most likely held by the bank not Argos.

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

I ordered one earlier and have just phoned Argos as I might be at work when they try to deliver. Suzanne, the lady on the phone has said its a misprice and wont be honored in accordance with contract and consumer law?

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!

Fingers crossed but i soubt it will get honored.
"Thanks for placing your order.
Unfortunately, we can't confirm your order at the moment but we'll send you an email shortly (this may take a couple of hours during busy periods).
There's no need to re-submit your order.
Thanks for shopping at argos.co.uk"
Thanks OP.
Money straight out my account too.
:grin:

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

Used my £10 off voucher that was expiring so worst case is a refund plus new code or money card
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

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

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.

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:

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!

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.

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
