I have to say they are making a HUGE profit and I have no sympathy whatsoever if they make an error. After all, it is their systems that are allowing it to happen. They are on to it now anyway...........and I really really hope that some of those early orders get through. I suspect cancellation e mails will follow shortly. If people made moderate orders it would take them longer to get onto a glitch. People often take it to the extreme to see what they can get away with (like ordered 30, 40, 50, 60 things etc) and if there is an influx of that then that will flag up hugely!! I am not the retail police and do not feel the need to judge what people do. Personally, I have a "little go" if I get a few things great. Those that are braver and do a lot - go for it. At the end of the day, you will always get those that push it to the max regardless and I don't see the point wasting time having a slanging match on these forums with people getting upset with others ordering a lot.It has happened before, it will happen again and there is not a lot to be achieved getting upset about it and wasting time.

HOPE THOSE WITH EARLY ORDERS GET THROUGH THOUGH!!!

Just missed out on this! Was trying to decide what to get, with a 4 year old on my lap though it was taking that bit longer lol!! "ooh mummy I like that one...ooh I like that one too! And that one mummy. Can I have that for my birthday mummy?"...etc etc

The code definitely is not working any more. I just tried on the 2 items that it worked for me with and it didn't recognise it.

Some companies use this "glitch" as a way of moving redundant stock. They plan for it to get rid so they don't have to bin it (short space in warehouses) and if they bin the stock they get hammered with waste costs. So this is the cheaper option to them.

Do I feel guilty buying cheap items, not at all. If they don't honour the order so be it, if they do they choose to knowing the price they are selling at. Its win win for them, they hold all the cards and make the final decision.
