Order 3+ and get various amounts of discount (Coupon code: BULKRATE)

--------------------------------------

Now we wait and see if they'll honour the price error .. lmao:cheesygri

[cloneman]

[thendless]

I predict in 10 minutes the RFD effect will crash dealextreme's servers :cheesygri

[Marco]

I wonder how DX deals with mistakes like this....

[yoshi838]

ordering now...

[cloneman]

you guys are just gonna lose 5% with paypal conversions for the payment/refund ;)

[nuberific]

Ordered 3. =O

[illyas]

They're probably going to give some sort of future coupon code...thats my guess. Worth a try anyways, thanks op.

[Traian2003]

ordered 3... thank you.

[frankies]

Ordered 2 :D

[genham17]

Ordered 4, thanks. We'll see what happens.

[StoneColdWhat]

have they honoured price errors in the past ?

[Carisear]

rofl, they'll just say 'out of stock'

i've had that happen to lots of times with stuff from dx.

[kaddy69]

ordered 3...

[sportmiester]

:lol:

[Dash]

this should be fun

[aznmidnite]

Ordered 3. Thanks OP!

[ihk]

ordered 2. thanks, op.

[BananaWeed]

Ordered 3. *crosses fingers*

[Kasakato]

Got 5. :lol:

[chocobill]

Ordered 1, even though i doubt anything'll come of this..

[Dash]

In for 3!!! :D

Sometimes it pays to stay up late!

[Azxster]

3 as well

[bluecheck15]

ohhhh...ouch. Hate to be the employee who made this mistake. Some companies are very good at owning up to their mistakes, but this is gonna hurt. The price from sellers ranges from $37.99-$101.21 for one of these cards.

Remember only a few months ago, Future Shop set the price for it's BFG 8800GT at $199 and RFD members pretty much stormed the stores? FS realized their error and fixed it REAL fast, but they sold them below cost for people who caught it.

[rojyliu]

ordered 3,but the coupon adds me 1.70 bucks,weird.

[waq007]

thnx OP...ordered 3

[Snowy]

Well anyone has a spare in BC let me know Paypal sucks when you can't get a local credit card :lol:

[seiko000]

Ordered 3.....:cheesygri :cheesygri

Thanks OP!

[Rebel_lord]

ordered 3,but the coupon add me 1.70 bucks,weird.

it's for the required insurance for large purchases.

[LanEvoVII]

I'm not even going to try :|

[rojyliu]

me 2 me 2
wow...so good...free shipping too..haha

[seiko000]

Do we lose anything if DX doesn't honor this price? Will paypal charges them or us for refunding?

[Dash]

I think someone mentioned the loss in the coversion rates. I don't know whether that's true or not, but I paid in US dollars, so it won't affect me.

[donye]

Ok. I'm going to order 3 too.Did you guys use the coupon "BULKRATE" too?

[leonheartx]

ordered 3 as well. i have some cash to spare so worth a try haha.

lets keep our fingers crossed!

[Kasakato]

If you paid in CAD, they will convert the USD back into CAD. You will loose 3-4 cents on the dollar.

[seiko000]

Same here. Guys look at the bright side, this might be a real discount from DX. :cheesygri :cheesygri

[rojyliu]

I got my confirmation email, and an order number. It says that the order has been placed and is waiting for supplier.

finally, mine shows up too. Thanks.

[Dash]

Ok. I'm going to order 3 too.Did you guys use the coupon "BULKRATE" too?

I did, but I can't really see why I did it. It gives you a slight discount, but then in order to use it, you have to get a registered tracking number, so net-net, it adds 30 cents or so to your total. If the order goes through, then it's peanuts.

[StoneColdWhat]

fine I'll try too...

[Kasakato]

Made a second order for 3, why not. I end up loosing $1.7. :twisted:

The second order does not show up under tracking, but my first one did. :confused:

[FerrisB]

ordered 3, what the hell.

[seiko000]

Let's not flood ebay when we got the cards ok? :razz:

[leff]

Ordered 5 just for fun :)

[ASharp]

Insane deal if it works haha. Ordered 3 as well. Thanks OP!

I wouldn't even know what to do with them even if they came. Haha.

[seiko000]

Ordered 3 before, and I just ordered 10 more....:cheesygri

[Bastich]

Thanks.
:cool:

[seiko000]

Late night in Canada and 52 ppl are viewing this site. Poor DX! :D

[Rebel_lord]

well the page is gone now ... guess deal's over :P

[Un4GivN]

Ordered 3, any bets on how long it will be until we get the cancellation emails? :) Fingers crossed though!

[seiko000]

well the page is gone now ... guess deal's over :P

Ouch, I was gonna order 10 more :lol:

[Rebel_lord]

probably in like 2 days or so.

[seiko000]

It's Saturday afternoon right now in Hong Kong, no doubt they caught the price error fast. My fellow Hong Kongers, just honor the price for once!

[Bastich]

Ha ha! Must be an alarm for unusual site activity. I wonder what poor tech got woken up to fix it...

:cool:

[burnaby]

Looks like some poor smuck got a nasty awakening to pull the deal.

Good luck to all those who went the extra effort to order. May you be treated like Dell customers.

[leonheartx]

so many users viewing this page! lol

looking forward to see how things turn out xD

[bluebyul]

i just created a paypal for this.

question, is it better to just pay in the usd, or have it converted to cnd and then pay the cnd??

[ASharp]

Ordered five more before it got pulled heh. I figure hey, what's ~$10 total to me for the possibility of getting a load of 8GB SD cards in return.

And...as someone earlier mentioned, it's the afternoon right now in Hong Kong (which is where DX resides). Might be late here (or early depending on how you look at it) but I'm pretty sure everyone over there is wide awake.

[bluebyul]

i ordered and was gonna orer more...
but just like everyone else realized, it was pulled :(

[bluebyul]

Too late :(

actually i ended up just picking whichever one and ordered.
i got my confirmation and everything...
it would be awesome to get it...
if not...oh well.

[ASharp]

its now $35.74
lol

I'm assuming you're talking about this one:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10533

In which case, no, it's not $35.74. That card is the 4GB version. The one mentioned in the thread is 8GB. The product page for the 8GB version appears to have been completely removed.

[Kasakato]

The order still does not appear in my account and I never got an email. Anyone else?

Thank you for shopping at dealextreme.com. Just to let you know that your order is now cancelled because either we could not ship your order or it has been requested to be cancelled. If a refund is associated with your cancellation, a refund receipt will be sent to you from PayPal shortly.

[ASharp]

Just received via email with full refund !!

My email seems to be down right now so, I didn't get the email but, I checked my PayPal account and the money appears to have been refunded. :( Shame this "deal" didn't work. Would have been amazing. :cheesygri

[Bastich]

This incident proved this: If something is too be to be true, it probably is!

True, but some places will issue a discount on your next purchase to make up for the "inconvenience".

Anybody else have their whole order cancelled, not just the card(s)?

:cool:

If you are buying from ppl who will only considered their toothpaste is empty if it looks like the bottom toothpaste tube in the image below... now do you expect them to either honor their price error or even to issue a discount on your next purchase to make up for the "inconvenience" ?

http://smgct.typepad.com/spinning/images/toothpaste_001_1.jpg

I didn't bother to buy any because I knew the price error will not be honour.

[ashdod_boy]

Any you guy, same boat with me ?

One order got cancelled as mentioned, received cancellation notice with full refund; but another order is still pending...., no cancel email, no refund up to now.....

[Kasakato]

I had one order with all emails and a refund. My other order was refunded but I never received any emails.

[mahjongmaniac]

damn ... missed out on all the fun on this price error deal lol


price error on DX.com... that's a rare

[aimfox]

Apologies everyone who ordered this product. The price was wrong and in fact it's way off.

We are refunding these orders now and if you have ordered one of this you should be getting two refund confirmations shortly, one from us and one from PayPal.

This rarely happens and we will work on the upload procedures to prevent errors like this in the future.

Thank you for your understanding!
