I purchased it, and they have promptly cancelled my order. I have put in other orders for items that have cost, can I just cancel these in the same manner?
What are the rules around this? Do they not have to honor the sale as this is the advertised price?

It's a lamp on made . com (I can't post URL as I haven't posted enough).
They just cancelled the order without any explanation! Just interested in the legals really. Don't really like the lamp.0 -

Don't like the lamp but seeing as you believe it was foc you would try and get it then when they realise the error you want to complain to, Seriously it is an error so time to move on and either buy or not buy, Quite simple really.0 -
It's a disgrace, how dare they refuse to give you their goods for free.0

Short answer - yes they probably can just cancel.
Longer answer - it depends on what the T&Cs of the contract of sale specify in terms of when a contract is deemed binding. In almost all cases the contract is binding once a delivery notification is issued. In effect, for online sales, no contract is binding until a human has had the opportunity to review the order request (the "offer to treat").0 -

Usually thats correct. However on top of offer & acceptance, a valid contract also needs consideration. There is none provided in this instance so no legally binding contract can be formed - even with acceptance.You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride0 -
No contract formed until you pay for it
