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).
Ahh, the importance of setting up your web commerce site correctly to limit coupon usage and inventory controls. Someone is going to have a real bad Monday.

They'd need to fix it right away else Baratza is gonna stop them from receiving inventory for violating MAP. Congrats to those who got their orders in (if the seller honors the promotion).
They should just ship the orders and chalk it up to the marketing budget and all the new loyal fans they'll have. I'd place a coupe orders for their coffee.

If this was Amazon maybe, but I doubt a small coffee shop has a marketing budget to cover this just to make a few bucks profit from your next coffee bean order.
I already received a refund and cancelation from the $7,500 espresso machine 😂.
This is a great sign. It shows us that the server operators at least know these orders are being placed. I've seen many a slickdeals over the years from websites that allowed orders nonstop for an entire weekend.
Maybe there's hope that they fulfill these orders. I've got pounds of whole coffee beans just waiting to be ground up! Lets Goooooooooo!
