has anyone else tried to order from crc this morning? I found a £20 voucher against my order - unless I've been singled out for special treatment...which would be nice, but was unable to complete the sale - told to try back later.

Just tried placing an order myself and had the exact same thing.
Thought I was about to get away with it too!

Me too- I did have a bit of a problem with a £20 voucher a while back so just emailed them assuming it was to do with that, but I guess not!

That's odd, I've just checked an order I placed and it is showing as processing with the £20 voucher applied. I got an e-mail confirmation too.

My order was below £20 so added an inner tube which took over and it's gone through with the discount. 😯

I've done the decent thing and emailed them regarding this.

I've also phoned them but the lines are busy.

Never know, if I save them a few bucks i might get a free bike out of it, better than a free pair of gloves anyway!

Tried placing an order for some brake pads at £24.99, showing a £20 voucher and an order value of £4.99 but when I try to pay it goes back to £24.99.

Very odd. I'm not trying to rip anyone off btw.

Were do we stand legally? I thought if you pay for the goods (they've taken my money from paypal) it is then a legal contract, no? I'm sure somebody on here will know. I do feel guilty morally, mind

In a shop once you've paid and are out the door then the goods are yours and the retailer has no legal comeback. With an online purchase I'd hazard that once the goods are dispatched that that would be point at which the retailer has no comeback.

To be honest though if it cost £20 more to get my stuff I've got no issue and I'll happily pay up.

In a shop once you've paid and are out the door

Saw a program recently with some guy who bought an incorrectly priced iPod.

As I remember it, it's 'fair game' once the fee has been handed over and a receipt issued...regardless of whether or not you've actually left the shop.

All back to normal now 🙁 still it was nice to feel special for those few moments. Interesting to see what happens now to those orders that were allowed to check out with the discount...

Haze - they did say that actually buying stuff in shops, that is the case. But buying online is different apparently - didn;t pay enough intention to know exactly why, but basically your rights buying on line or over the phone are reduced.

Possibly because (in some cases) electronic receipts/acknowledgments are issued automatically after receiving payment?

It appears to be nowt, . . . shouldn't be too difficult to distribute that?

In a nutshell, . . . created in error, worked, then remedied.

How has it been remedied? Not anything about my order.

Does remedied mean, no longer works or orders will be cancelled?

Well I've received an e-mail that it has been dispatched and nothing about the price being increased.

I sure I remember reading about a mistake on the Argos website where they missed a '0' off the price of a flat screen TV. If I remember correctly they did not honour the displayed price. Not sure if they actually took the money for the submitted orders though - maybe that's a loop hole..

I don't think shops are obliged to sell you anything at all at any price, so I'd be surprised if very many would honour an incorrect price.

I had an email saying the £20 was an error and did I still want the order at the original price or cancel?
I have no problem with them not giving me £20 off for no reason

Nobtwidler what did you order? I was thinking they may have let things that they still made money on go. i.e. my fivetens were still £60, so I'm guessing they still made some profit on them. But if you ordered say a pair of gloves for £21 they would be unlikely to let them go for a £1. I could be wrong mind......

Normally I miss out on things like this.

I ordered a 3 pack of powerlinks and a pair of hope skewers it was £29 and got reduced to £9 which would have been a bargain - ho hum!
I would be interested to see if this happened to anyone else

I ordered 2 innertubes and a tyre - £27 - paid £7 on my paypal account. Order complete and dispatched, not had an email asking me to pay the extra £20.

Hopefully got a bargain!

Well I've got my stuff delivered and the receipt is for the reduced amount. I guess that there weren't enough people who managed to get the accidental discount to make it worthwhile chasing it up. There also the matter of goodwill and word of mouth that this sort of stuff generates.
