    Anybody that ordered this, and has subsequenty found that their order has been cancelled, phone up amazon !!

    I rang them on 02086369451 and managed to get an £8 gift voucher credited to my account.

    I rang them before a cancellation email was sent, and then about 5 minutes after the call I recieved an email stating:
    We are writing to inform you that the price for the item 'Karajan: The Complete
    EMI Recordings Vol. 1' - Asin 'B000ZBPQEO' was displayed incorrectly at the time
    you placed the above referenced order.

    etc etc

    Hmm...Me thinks somethings gone wrong somewhere.

    It's worth phoning up, even if it is small compensation compared to a stupidly cheap hifi.

    I've ordered one... do Amazon generally honour misprices?

    Unfortunately they don't seem to. Last Summer I ordered a pedestal fan that was showing as £1.99 instead of £19.99 and although I received one e-mail to say my order had been accepted, another one followed a couple of days later saying the item was now out of stock. When I went to the page, it was showing as the correct price!

    So that's how companies get around mis-prices, it seems. They just say it's no longer in stock.

    I wonder why you think that companies should honour misprices? if you had listed an item for £1 instead of £100 in the paper would you accept it or tell people its a mistake? some one who has to type these prices in made a mistake Amazon havent tried to lie and give excuses they made a mistake end of, move on

    Paid £19.99 and requested First Class delivery. Did not see this thread until after I had ordered so it's possible that I got in very quickly.

    I received the same "Karazan e-mail" as others yersterday so thought my order has been cancelled. Checked on Amazon and saw this it was "Dispatched" but still was not convinced.

    Hi-fi was delivered via Parcelforce this morning:j
