DELL PROJECTOR £20!!!

It was a screw up. The memory should have been 256MB, but because they'd put it at 1GB, the option was there to reduce it, and this reduced the cost by about £250. The deal was there for about 4 hours before Dell noticed and pulled it.

Steve ;D ;D

i see, then was it true that Dell honour these orders because they have already sent out the pdf confirmation e-mail??

Yes, at that time. However they have now added lots of disclaimers to their terms, where they say they can cancel if there are errors. But if they take the money from your credit card, you should be covered under the Sale Of Goods Act, as by taking the money they have entered into a contract with you to supply you with the goods at that price. However, you'd probably have to take them to court to enforce it.

You'd better read through the rest of the site for more info, we're turning this thread into a two way chat...

I think Dell should honour the deals and makes their customers fuking happy ;D

Give every1 a christmas present.

was thinking why on earth would they even made the pricing error, it has mis-price not 1 but 2 items at the same time, also both of these items are under the Special offer section, its simply Dell's fault and okay maybe its their right not to send out anything, but how can a large company like Dell makes mistakes so often?

are they just mental or insane? nothing better to do but to trick ppl to order?

i didn't know how much they thing costs originally, thought that they are just selling out old stock at crazy sale price, but looks like Dell enjoys putting ppl hopes high and said its just an error, its simply not acceptable >:(

Dell = waste of time.

There does seem to be alot of pricing errors made by dell and could it possibly be down to them wanting to get some attention? i mean, these errors bring thousands of people to their site, it may make loads of work for them cancelling all the orders, but out of the thousands of people visiting them, at the same time they'll be looking around the website looking for other offers....(and probably ordering other stuff)

It could just be that they have a poor website team (or that the website team are doing so much that they are making these mistakes...)

That thought's often occurred to me - I've seen various companies place various "too good to be true offers", only to supply a handful of items and harvest contact details from the other thousands of people who they won't be supplying.....

Do you really trust a company that is this incompetent with your Credit Card details?

Their ordering system has huge holes in it at times and this latest error was on their front page, don't they even check it before uploading it?

I'm going to write to Dell and ask them to remove all details they hold on me from their system.
