When asked if the company will honor items sold to customers at the mistakenly low prices, Jariwala said the company is "still working through those details."

and this http://www.turnto23.com/money/con...ite-hacked

While United Airlines recently honored some $10 tickets offered by mistake on its site, a retailer does not have to honor an error, especially if it is the result of hacking.

I honestly don't get how people can get so pissed if a retailer cancels their order because of an obvious price mistake. Its clear you knew the price was a mistake, and the only reason that the retailer would honor it is to prevent customers from getting annoyed. To be honest, if they were smart but still didn't want to honor the mistakes, they could just cancel orders and give everyone a coupon for like 15% off their next order, which would at least be reasonable.

They canceled my order. Lied to me in an email that it was because the store had no stock, as I was in the store and had spoken to an employee who checked the inventory literally a minute before I got the email. Apparently its corporate policy to lie in order to cover up mistakes.
Wm does daily with out price errors.

They might surprise us and let it slide. It's possible it could cost them more in PR liability and logistical nightmare trying to reverse everything than just letting it go.

Sure. Crazy homeless people. At ours, some homeless dude went in there, cut his feet with a razor and started writing gibberish on the walls in his own blood.

You are all suckers. Knowing they would lose money anyway, I stole two 55 inch LED TVs today.

And I pooped in the sink. Whee

I am not homeless. I was bored and wanted to share my message.

I was able to pick up my 3 copies of GTA 5 today but not my 3 copies of Battlefield 4. Despite having paid for all 6 I only received pick-up confirmation for the GTA's. Obviously, there is a massive level of inconsistency with this error
