I just got the email. Fairplay it was a misprice but it's the holding on to customers money which is wrong.
While they have your dosh, whether it's £1 or £1million, they are earning interest on it.
That's what's immoral. It doesn't take them 4 weeks to debit the money so why so long to credit it?
I hope Martin does get on their case, the cheeky !!!!!!s!!

my point exactly - a pound is a pound!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

I thought they only took the money when the item was dispatched?

Calm down; you knew it was a gamble.
Are you really sure they've taken your precious pound?

It does say on their terms which is at the end of your order that "orders are not accepted until they are despatched" so they are not under any legal obligation to offer you the goods at the missprice but they could have just sent so many out by accident or a a goodwill gesture for the first batch etc...

It's wrong for them to keep hold of money and it would be good if they offered some money off vouchers to the customers that never received their orders.

More companies are now using the same policy as it is a last minute get out clause in case of a missprice or oversale on goods so the company can just say they cannot obtain the goods at the missprice but they could offer you them at the normal price or just say order was cancelled as per terms which you agree to when you place your order

What a fanstatic idea !

Create own company on website with non-existent goods which have bargains that r too good to miss, get loads of orders taking credit card payments, keep it in a bank for a month then send everyone their money back and then keep the interest.

Sounds so easy that there MUST be a law against it ?

If not ! WOOHOO !!

You have a valid point.

If there is no law against it, then I'll be joining you in this dubious yet financially lucrative venture!

I'm in!!

I know it is only one 'precious' pound but it is the principle!

I know Tescos say ' every little helps' but maybe they mean 'every pound helps' knock up that fat profit!!

Guys,
NO MONEY has been taken from your account.

Those who received the kit will have the money duely taken from the account.

Those who have not received the kit, the money is on hold in YOUR OWN account. No one has taken your pound. Ring your bank, it's on hold waiting to transferred soon as Tesco accept the transfer.

If it says somethng like "Debit - Tesco" then money has been taken from your account and you may have a case that Tesco need to provide you with the item at that price - but then again they will say it's out of stock.

Other than that, it seems some are trying to create a storm in a tea cup.

I got the 'sorry but' email too.

Just rang Tesco's customer services - 0870 607 6060 - said I'd had the 'sorry error' email, and was told no problem my order has been accepted and I will recieve as soon as new stock arrives.

No money has been taken from my bank, and CS girl confirmed price £1.00 free p+p.

Optimist

There are three things needed to create a contract and all three must be done.
1) An offer, this is the offer to sell these Dyson party clean up kits at a £1
2) Acceptance, this we have done by giving our card/bank details for them to take the £1
3) Consideration. this must be something of value exchange in this case the £1 this has not been done as I think you will find that Tesco have not actually taken the money and only do so when the item is despatched.

Just checked my Tesco account and the item is still open but no money has been taken from my credit card as yet so I might still get it but if not no hassle !
