Poor Michael at Compass Coffee going to get back in the office to cancel 25,000 orders of a Burr Coffee Grinder. Sweating profusely having to hear from 2,000 Karens who believe he should honor a price error even though it would put his small business bankrupt.
I'll devote my next cup of coffee to him for the hard work he is about to do on a simple website mistake.
These are the times that make me want to leave Slickdeals.
This code was obviously not supposed to get out. It was probably intended for a few people who were instructed to use it on an item or two as some sort of a gift, possibly as a charitable type thing.
A small business can't just front a loss like this, especially to a group who isn't going to want to pay full price for anything they have, much less for an extended period of time where they could actually (eventually) break even.
This isn't Target or Amazon. I would really encourage you to not get upset when your order is cancelled and instead to have some compassion for this owner who now has to spend hours and hours trying to remedy an honest mis-take while having people berating him via email and otherwise (as I see some of you are ALREADY ready to do).
Ordered 1, even though I already got one from earlier this month from another store at much higher price. If it goes through, great gift. If it doesn't, no surprise there.
I've been watching deals on this for more than a month, went into BF with this on my list of ~5 specific things I was looking for. I ended up buying two within about 24 hours! Ty OP!
Unlike others here, I don't think I'm going to cancel the $111 order from yesterday though. The last thing I want is to do that, find out this is cancelled on Monday with some flimsy excuse, and then find myself back to exactly where I've was the last couple months, nursing a dying capresso grinder as I wait for a deal
Yeah I'm doing the same thing. Definitely not expecting this one to ship, sitting on the other order. Can flip one NIB for an easy profit anyway if they both ship at the same time and I can't cancel.
Wow, this is an amazing deal. I would jump on it because of how cheap it is, but I already have a Vario for drip. I might still get this for my in-laws.
Dead, wow! I just bought it at $67 with the coupon. Then after, refreshed the page and its now showing at $270. Seems dead to me. I think they will likely send out cancellation notices now. Oh well.

Seems they introduced the discount code before making the price double to negate the value of the discount. Thus the glitch price of 67 instead of 135. Probably orders will be canceled as wrong pricing as an excuse. Got one just as the price changed.

Please be better, people.

Regardless, I expect these to be cancelled. This is below cost for them.
