LOL best buy fucking up

[Pringles]

Just a hint here, companies take notice when certain items suddenly sky rocket in sales. Anyone that ordered more than one gg on fucking up the slightest chance anyone might have actually gotten on.

^^ This right here. People's greed like the guy who ordered 500 screw these things like these up so often. Most likely or not, BestBuy.com's warehouse only has ~1500-2000 of these things lying around from Samsung. Being as it's a high priced item and there are other products of similar nature on their site for similar prices, they don't usually keep a huge back up stock on the item. Single people ordering large quantities of it will always trigger someone going "Hey, something's not right when someone is ordering $500,000 in TV's at once."

Most likely the going price is 999.99 and someone fucked up when they put the price in so it came out as 9.99. It's possible 1 or 2 people might get their orders if they placed them when it first came up and if they just ordered one. Typically the best thing to do in these situations is if you find it, keep it to yourself until you get the item in your hands, and if they haven't fixed it by the time it takes to reach you, then you go and tell everyone.

It's clearly the fault of asshats who go to message boards alerting everyone of the deal.

It's not their fault it's priced wrong however it is clearly their fault it gets noticed.

I agree with that.

dude take the link off now. lol if they dont catch it you can keep buying and reselling at will. i just bought 3 of them to be delievered to my house 3 to my best friend jason, and 3 to my other friend cody so it doesnt look odd that im buying 9... but yeah they have to honor it because if they didnt not only would they have angry customers, a bunch of hate mail, and probably riots. But they will also have many court battles and they will most likely lose them all

I lost by raging when I read this...I hate it when people on some company forum post things like "my best friend jason" or "my other friend cody." OH MY GOD NOONE CARES.

That's what happens when you let kids on the internet with Daddy's credit card. Just wait until he discovers porn websites, he won't see Jason or Cody for months.

Least the worst thing Best Buy can do it ban you from their website/stores.

[Olo401]

Still not corrected. You'd think that would be the first damn thing they did.

Web Replications take some time.

My order just showed up in my acct again....


Renegging on my atheism: PLEASE JEBUS let me have a 9.99 tv ^ -^

"Our delivery system is temporarily unavailable. Please return later to purchase any items requiring delivery. We apologize for the inconvenience. Items available for shipping or in-store pickup may still be purchased. "


also people like the 500 orders guy ruin it

Yeah I got the same error.

[Colenzo]

Probably not since they have that clause about correcting mistakes, although I bet people got fired beforehand and I bet whoever entered this information is getting downgraded to PS3 games. How would we ever know if they posted an incorrect price in that section? No need for accountability or accuracy!

About three years ago I took a trip to California, and while there I made a stop at a Best Buy store, where I witnessed the most awesome shit I have ever seen in any retail store in my life. As I was walking in the door with my husband, I looked to my left and noticed the customer service desk and beyond that the section of computer equipment we were there to look at. I pointed it out and as we started heading in that direction, a shitstorm unfolded at the service desk.

Now, I've worked in retail most of my days as an employed person, so I can ignore just about anything that goes on because people are stupid, loud and more often than not deserve to be ignored. However, my dude does not have this sort of skill and froze in place, his face a mask of shock which then turned to delight. When I turned to look, there was a giant man in pastel clothes with an equally giant TV on a dolly. I have no idea what the exchange was before that moment, but that was when the background store bullshit volume went back to normal in my ears and I heard him screaming: YOU ARE FUCKING AWFUL! THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SHIT WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?

My first instinct is to at least move behind the rack of DVDs next to us in case this crazy motherfucker starts shooting or throwing things or taking off his clothes, but my husband would not budge so I just watched. The employees tried to calm the guy down, asking him to lower his voice and I guess probably trying to explain the terms of his warranty or something to him but he was having none of that shit. I WILL NOT BE QUIET, I PAID EXCELLENT MONEY FOR THIS PIECE OF SHIT, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT HONORING MY DOCUMENTATION? NO I WILL NOT BE QUIET ASSHOLE YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP, DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT. NO YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP. NO, YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Then this motherfucker took it to the next level. IS THAT FUCKING SO? IS THAT HOW IT'S GONNA BE? He paused for maybe 15 seconds just to stare at the employees and when no answer was forthcoming, he screamed FINE and seriously turned to the TV and lifted his leg high in the air and fucking karate kicked that shit off the dolly. His foot went through the box, the box banged up against the customer service desk. One end couldn't handle the force and blew open, raining a few chips of broken plastic onto the floor. When he pulled his foot out of the box his flipflop stayed inside. I guess this was satisfactory for him or he just didn't know what the fuck to do next, so he pointed his finger at the customer service people and then left without another word, not bothering to retrieve his other shoe.

There were like 3 cop cars in the parking lot on our way out, but I didn't feel like rubbernecking to find out what happened. I don't know if anything further happened or they were just afraid he might go get a gun to retrieve his shoe.

Good luck consulting customer service on your purchases, guys.

amazing

[rithridan]

You know what would be hilarious, if they fix the pricing error and just cascade update it through their ordering systems. Go ordering 500 TVs for 1.500 a piece when you thought you were buying them for 9.99

Ofcourse they can't do that, but the thought alone that they seriously screw all those oppertunists makes me smile.

working in retail as well, I've seen stuff like this. We had a Haitian lady curse out our returns because her microwave broke 2 years after she bought it and we wouldn't take the return. One of the managers got involved and she got so pissed she picked up the microwave and threw it at his head. She stormed off and started knocking over displays and what not. The cops were called and when they got there, she denied any wrong doings. When they explained we have a video feed and she was caught on tape, she started ranting and raving again.
