    I'm all for taking advantage of glitches (see Dove deodorant thread!) but taking advantage to the tune of hundreds is taking it a bit far. To get one or maybe two £50 orders is great but to order 3 or more is taking the proverbial in my book.

    Hang on a minute you can't pick and choose when its greed and when its not just to suit yourself and as for there's a difference in taking advantage and greed ... really??

    I POSTED the Dove deodorant thread and we know what irrateness that caused because I dared to question peoples motives in getting so many

    I myself got 2 DOVES in all @ 50p each from Superdrug and I got THREE canvasses ( well , say 'got' it will be a lovely miracle if we do get them! ) but I ordered 1 for me and 1 each for my 2 DD's , its one per household and they don't live at home , so I could have rang them at midnight for them to order one themselves but did one each for them as a surprise and don't actually think I am greedy for getting 3......

    HOW many deo's did you get again? ;) lol

    I've ordered one and did it at 8.30 this morn, would be lovely to get it but if not fair enough. However I do think its a bit off when people order so many rather than just one or two as its less likely the orders will be honoured. But oh well, that the risk we take eh?

    You only got 2 DOVES. Well done you :beer:

    And you ordered 3 canvasses for different addresses - nothing against the terms and conditions for that but posting a glitch that blatantly broke all the T&Cs got you on your soap box? Why so happy to take advantage of this glitch and not your own one?

    As for how many deodorants I got - have a guess :rotfl:

    Checked my account several times today and each time it said "in production" until now. Now it says it can't find my order. Don't think I'm going to get my one now.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    Ah it's nice to see the "cycle" of a misprice thread following the standard pattern!

    Misprice listed
    Some order one
    Some order two
    Some say they ordered 10 just for the reaction
    Someone says they have phoned the company to check to see if they will get theirs
    Cue lots of arguments, accusations of greed, selling on eBay and the like.
    Then comes the paranoia of will they won't they honour.
    Usually followed by cancellation emails or a lucky few that got in early enough to slip through the net.

    I personally only noticed this at 8.00am this morning and tried to upload some photos but had problems doing so and as a result I missed it. Well done if these are honoured.

    I personally think there's no point in getting angry with people ordering loads, I was planning to do 4 separate orders anyway.
    Usually it doesn't matter if they get one order of
    100, I think 100 orders of 1 overnight would have the same effect.
