FOr those who paid full price for the HP Touchpad

I am one of them. In the sale frenzy, I was trying to get my hands on this touchpad thingymajig from anywhere possible. Searched all the stock alert sites and news to see who had stock left and who was slashing prices. Any website that did, stock depleted fast so it was a lost cause every single time. I know there is another thread with people still trying to find stock. All the best guys..

So this thread is for people who purchased this in full price in the hope that prices will be reduced once the items are shipped. Well I went ahead and bought one from Misco today for full price when I saw some stock. I had my fingers crossed and hoped for some good news, well the good news is that Misco have shipped out my order, the bad news, they charged full price. I paid £430 for the 32GB version. For a single order, I have received about 10 emails from Misco about the different stages of the order with a final email with the invoice.

So my question really is, how do I get the refund from Misco. They are not taking any calls / no one picking up.

Should I go direct to HP?

Whats the process, anyone have any leads on this?

I am sure other people have done the same from various sites, some of they might have even gotten lucky with the price drop. One thing is for sure, Misco stock was quickly depleted and they never dropped the price, so I am sure there are other buyers search for the same answers.

    You should be able to return it to Misco once you receive it. I don't know about delivery charges both way though as you might have to pay both of these unless they do free delivery and returns. Hope it works out for you. :)

    Serves you all right for being greedy thinking they would offer the discount.
    I waited hours on many of the sites refreshing only to find the item going out of stock before going down in price!

    I feel extremely lucky to have got 2 from Currys yesterday morning and am collecting another 2 (hopefully) from Argos in a bit. Before I get flamed, they all have good homes to go to. One each for my kids for Xmas, one to the MIL and one for my sister. None going on ebay :D
