Carphone warehouse cancel pay as go order

Options
Hello

I ordered an HTC wildfire from CW at the weekend, it was pay as you go and free as long as you bought £10 top up.

CW have now emailed me to say the phone should have been priced at £99 so they cannot fulfill my order.

Are they able to do this? Are they obliged to fulfill the order?

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated!

Thank you

    If it is a genuine error, and they have not taken your money and shipped the goods - they're not obliged to fulfill the order. Sorry!

    They can do this. They are not obliged to fulfil the obviously erroneous order.

    That's a bit judgemental.
