250gb Samsung 840 series for £50!?

[colonel_mortis]

Judith:apologies, our records show that your order has been put on hold due to a potential error. We're looking into it right now.

Me:ok

Is there anything I need to or can do?

Judith:Your card has not been charged for this. We'll send you an email about this issue once this has been resolved

I am truly sorry if this would cause an inconvenience. Rest assured, we'll send you an email update within the next 48 hours.

From my chat with the amazon customer service. Hopefully we'll get something (even if not an ssd) back from it, but I don't know. I've never found anything this good value on amazon before.

 

EDIT: Just got this email:

I'm think maybe if we all complain and don't stop we could get something out of them

Their ToS say quite clearly that they can and will cancel orders if they made a pricing mistake, and they weren't going to loose all that money just to keep us bargain grabbers slightly happy. I guess we could potentially get a couple of £ credit, but no more than that (at least if I was making the decisions that's what I would do).

That's pretty good though, considering all it took was a few minutes. I might give it a go
