  • Somehow, this just feels wrong after thinking about it for a while. I too am guilty of ordering £100 of stuff for £10 but seriously think of it like this.

    Would you walk into your local liquor store, grab £100 worth of booze and pay with a tenner hoping that the cashier doesn't notice as your walking out of the store.

    Isn't this theft?

    Hmm, tricky one, i think i might my cancel my order.

    I thought this with the recent North Face glitch order, then felt gutted when everyone got their order.

    I have ordered 4 Port and mint sets for my sons Rugby coaches. I have had the confirmation e-mail, but as someone has already said M&S do not have to honour this and they might cancel all the orders.

    I think with the volume of orders they will notice there is a problem then make a descision.

    I imagine they'll email first and ask if you want to pay the extra ....

    Being M&S I think they will give you the option. You can always return with them too!
  • Just had an email through from M&S that say's it's a glitch and won't be honoured. Gutted.

    Also the discount codes are one use only so will miss out on those now too. By all means give it a go but probably best to just order a couple of things instead of going ott - it'll probably be more likely to slip under the radar that way...

    Hrm... anyone know the legalities on this one? I'm positive they won't actually honour these orders as it's too big a glitch....but that leaves me wondering whether they'll cancel the orders or charge full price.

    Anyone know whether they can legally charge full price?

    Not sure, maybe they can. Rather Glad this is Marks and not Littlewoods, who can and do recharge you months later:eek:

    However, if they change the price before despatch then we can cancel under DSR, yes?

    For info I got a similar glitch a couple of weeks ago, and they shipped and delivered my £00.00 order:beer:
    Not just a sucker for sweeties..:o

    What time did you order at?

    I suspect this is all over the web now - maybe those that were processed in the early hours will get it. I only order 10 mins ago, so fair enough if mine doesn't go through - I hope some people are lucky though!
