I just got my 'confirmation' while typing this!


DEC 18 update:....purolator is shipping something from dell....

[yoshi838]

Good catch, ordering now. =)

[parry]

not for me. I get $159

You got a linky?

[Jon Lai]

Dead.. shows up at $159.99

[caper1175]

Ordered! :razz:

[skanji]

dead - shows up as 159

[kab122]

Dead.

Already corrected. Obviously a typo. The other players are $30 and $20 off, this is actually $40 off. When I added 3 to my cart, my order total was a negative number :!:

What has dell's policy been in the past on cancelling orders placed with pricing mistakes?

[mercury4]

how did you get that? i get it at 159 when added to cart. damn! must have been fixed.

[Formula1]

Beat you to it. I put it in yesterday's Dells Day thread. I thought it was some sort of contest where it picks a random customer and a random item cause it was only good till the end of the day. Now I'm pretty sure they screwed up when switching from yesterdays deals to todays deal. If you'll notice that the 37in TV is $400 off. I wonder if this is a mistake they will honor all the orders placed so far. I kinda doubt it.

[KsprayDad]

They just changed it...

So that is 3 of us that got in....

Now let's wait for those rejection letters.

Too bad...They need to get slammed for the 12 Bad Days of Christmas.

[sixer]

Never Alive and Never a Deal, they'll never honour a free item when it should be $159

Nice try thought!

[caper1175]

Ordered! :razz:

Just received my confirmation emails as well. Slim chance, but worth a shot.

[noodlehed]

i got an order in for one too...received confirmation and expecting cancellation shortly :)

[4wheelbayou]

Got It also :-)
Still a nice try.

[tjumpfuzzy]

got my order in. now its just a waiting game for the cancellation email from dell.

[Formula1]

i got an order in for one too...received confirmation and expecting cancellation shortly :)

I ordered mine almost an hour ago. Now I eagerly await for my order cancelled email.

Dell never honors these type of mistakes.

[KsprayDad]

Dell never honors these type of mistakes.

I don't expect them too really...just causing some havoc due to their crappy 12 days deals this time round....

[miss_swan]

Should have never posted this ... if you get your ordered cancelled then it would have been a good time to post ... but by posting and letting other RFD'ers know (a nice gesture to be sure if that was your intent in the first place) then you're drawing attention to your order ....

I hope you get your Zen though. Win one for the little guy.

[KsprayDad]

Is this a hopeful sign???

Holy crap, they shipped this? Just logged in and it ways it has been shipped. Well, who knows if it has shipped, but will be the best freebie ever if they have. LOL thx OP!

[caper1175]

Mine says shipped as well. :D

[bug]

Check your credit cards to see how much they charged you if anything.

[caper1175]

Invoice from Dell $0, charged to credit card $0 - Merry Christmas Dell:lol:

[KsprayDad]

Check your credit cards to see how much they charged you if anything.

My invoice says zero and my Amex online says zero.

[miss_swan]

Wow ... let us know if you actually get the Zen in your hands.

Don't let Dell try to post-charge you. I'm not exactly sure of the consumer laws with regards to this kind of thing ... but if Dell tries to strong-arm you about this - stand your ground. Fight the power (or the man)!

They wouldn't have a leg to stand on if the actually send out the product. Try and chase me...I got lots of time.

[KsprayDad]

Holy Crap...Purolator now says my item has left their shipping centre...WTF...

If we get this we should be installed in the RFD Hall of Fame.

[noodlehed]

hehehe...now checking my order status I see that the Zen player is shipped (before there was no item listed), and Purolator shows that the package should be here today. No charges on my card, and invoices read $0... :cheesygri

[Mighty Mouse]

I hope you guuys get this one and merry christmas

[mahjongmaniac]

damn... missed this ...

sigh. well, it was fun while it lasted...looks like the package was on the truck, on the way to my house when dell called and asked for the package back :( Hope others were closer to shipment centers and got theirs before Dell figured it out ;)

Ah well...hopefully we caused a few hearts to flutter in the sales area since their deals certainly didn't cause our ours too.

My tracking shows it getting a new number here in Ottawa last night and now it is showing as back in Toronto....

Wonder if they will have the courtesty to call or email to explain why they are not honouring their sale.

No update to my shipping yet. Last update was on the 19th at 5:30pm showing in transit. O well, if it gets intercepted then so be it. Kinda sucks though.

Here is an interesting piece of information. This is taken from Dell's own site:

"5. Title; Risk of Loss. Title to products passes from Dell to Customer on shipment from Dell's facility. Loss or damage that occurs during shipping is Dell's responsibility. Title to software will remain with the applicable licensor(s). Ship dates are estimates only. Dell is not liable for delays in shipment or failure to ship by the estimated ship date."

http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/topics/reftopic.aspx/gen/en/policy?c=ca&cs=CADHS1&l=en&s=gen&~section=012

According to their own site, wouldn't we own the product as soon as it leaves their warehouse, which according to my tracking, it already did.

[tjumpfuzzy]

Just got a call from dell saying they won't be sending the product. I called them poopie heads and hung up.

Just got 'the call' from Dell...they were apologetic and when I mentioned the above he whipped out the 'allowed to correct errors in pricing' quote from another part of the site.

Oh well...at least we cost them 5x shipping charges for having a lousy 12 Days of Dell.

[caper1175]

My tracking just changed to say it's available for pickup at the center near by. I'll call them in the morning and if it's still there I'll be picking it up instead of waiting for it to be delivered. The longer it's in Puralator's hands, the more chance of being called back.

[caper1175]

:cry: Being returned to sender.
