They must have been aware of the mis-price (if that's what it was) when they altered the price on site. Why not cancel the orders then rather than make us wait for so long? This stinks.Reading this signature is a waste of time0

What a joke !!. Same scenario here , email this morning telling me there is a delay in recieving the order and then the latest email stating it has been cancelled. I think Amazon have behaved in a pathetic way here because they should have cancelled this ages ago if they had no intention of honouring it.

I just got email saying mine been canceled first time I used amazon and not really impressed surely This counts as false marketing? I do understand mistakes happen but that's down to them to make sure when changes are made they take time to check everything it ok..
also just read this
"that we verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures".
So you telling me that they have so many order of this item that they only just noticed I ordered mine over a week ago....Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
I am wondering if it is worth going for potential misprices these days , a few weeks ago the Steven Seagal boxset bit the dust and now On the buses has gone the same way. Amazon just always point you to their terms and conditions which I presume cover them legally.

Same here, 2 e-mails, 1 yesterday apoligising for delay, 2 today advising order cancelled due to pricing error.
I cant imagine that they do this on purpose to attract attention to their website because surely they realise all the bad press they get when they dont honour their orders will more than make up for any extra orders they might have received.
What happened to retailers having to honour goods with the prices they are advertised at??0 -
Damn, Mines Been Cancelled As Well:mad:0

How strange, just checked the status on my account and it has been removed completely with no history that I ever ordered it (although I have received ther dvds that I ordered at the same time and it was still showing as waiting for despatch on Monday when I checked) No e-mail from Amazon though.0

Same 2 emails to me too. Funny this price was active for the best part of a week. Normally I would shrug the cancelation off but I too won't be shopping at Amazon again due to the time that was live.0
