Whilst I have no desire to 'put this person to the sword' clearly he is trying to pull a fast one over a web site error all presumably of his all making. If he had owned up with an apology I may well have taken a different more concillitary line.

Shouldn't we all write to him requesting he honour his obligations??

In a word, no. Get over it - you yourself tried to 'pull a fast one' over an obvious misprice. The OP described it as a 'mistake' right from the start and it's clear a number of posters throughout the thread thought it was worth a chance but didn't necessarily expect to get it. As for considering trying to screw an indy trader over a minor obvious mistake, I'm not sure this is in the spirit of this site...

Doubt you have a case TBH if they aint taken any money then no contract has been binding.

I never ordered one although I was tempted but I think most of us knew that we would be lucky indeed if the order would be forthcoming.

If they're are telling people they'll refund them in 24 hours then they have taken money and there is a binding contract

To all involved in this thread:

I am really very sorry that i could not complete your orders. Due to a product inventory error on my part the product sold out in minutes after my site was mentioned on the 'pop*****' mailing list.

I am a one man company and have received literally hundreds (867 to be exact) of orders for the shirt - this has been one of the most stressful weekends of my life.

I have only just started selling shirts on the web (previously I sold some on eBay). I hope the feedback on there would help reassure you that I am a genuine individual. (http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewFeedback&userid=teeflyshirts).

Again, please accept my apology. Im sure there are lessons for me to learn here.



Regards

I got a lovely e-mail from Lawrie today explaining all about the very genuine mistake he made with regards to this t-shirt. He took the time to answer all of my queries, and was very apologetic. Can you imagine how many e-mails this poor guy is having to reply to about this subject? At least he replied to my e-mail within 24 hours - unlike some of the bigger companies (Boots, anyone?) we sometimes have trouble with.

I for one wish him only the very best for the future. At least he took the time to explain himself and apologise.

Looks like we got some 'small fry' caught in the nets while trawling for the bigger fish .

I too received a truely humble email from Lawrie this evening and would like to j oin those wishing him and his venture the best in the future.

One thing's for sure - he'll always double check his pricing from now on before uploading it to his web site!
