If it's not shipped, cancel and reorder :)

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Amazon changes pricing by the hour. You can go here http://camelcamelcamel.com/ and look up the pricing history for  a product so you know when you can get it on sale.

prices can change daily. was in a similar situation with another product and asked if they could refund the difference, was a day after I placed the order. They said no and explained the price was based on supply and demand which was duh, I know. anyway they didnt do it but said because it hadn't entered the shipping process I can just cancel the order and reorder it at the lower price. 

 

Also, you can always get it and return it for a refund and reorder it.

Amazon's pricing changes on an hourly basis often, it happens so deal with it or shop elsewhere.

Just ask them to honor it or something for you, since it hasn't shipped yet

Yea, one time when I was about to purchase my AMD FX-8320, it was at $135 the day before. The day I had to order all of my parts, it was at $160. I guess just deal with it :P.

You could call them and kindly ask for a discount.  The worst thing they'll say is no.  You'd be surprised what things you get in life when you're polite.

Ugh, this happens all the time? Things go on sale. You're getting mad over $10. Get over yourself. Just e-mail their customer service and see if they can comp you.

It always happens with every site, (steam summer sale in particular). You're just unlucky. I just purchased Sennheisers HD598 for 190$ before they went back up a bit to 280$ or something like that.

Last time I checked Amazon has a 7 day price guarantee, so it's explained, calm down and give them a call.

Forgive me El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education...

I noticed you guys are recommending camel a lot. I've been using PriceZombie instead as it can track prices across many other stores. You might want to try  it out to compare.

 

Here's an example, I've been watching the samsung SSD:

So I bought a Crucial M500 120GB SSD for $70 yesterday and today it drop in price to $60.. WTF?!!!

-Snippity snip-

Incase you want the link to the product:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BQ4F9ZA

That is how it is with amazon. That price was probably there and you didn't know because you didn't check the other prices of the item. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays is when the low prices appear.

When things are bought in bulk they can be sold cheaper. Therefore whatever made you think of buying this product, most likely triggered other people to do so as well.

Marketing is wonderful isn't it.

Also if there is a purchase hype companies like to lower the price because then obviously even more people like the sound of it. I bought a 128GB SSD when they were knew and it cost me over £100.

How do you think I feel xD

So what's your great way to solve this problem? Forbid making products cheaper? You just spend 10 dollars more and you rage about it? Seriously, just get over it. Besides, you could just try to ask them if you can get the discount as others have said in this thread.
