Paying 5.4 cents per a gigabyte seems like it’s going to have to wait for another day. Dell canceled my order:
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your recent order.
We regret that, because of a pricing error, we have cancelled this order as it relates to a SimpleTech 1.5 TB Hi-Speed USB/eSata-300 Duo Pro External Hard Drive.
As you may have noticed, Dell specifically indicates on our web pages, catalogs, advertising and order-confirmation that Dell cannot be responsible for pricing or other errors, and reserves the right to cancel orders arising from such errors.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We truly value our relationship and reputation with our customers. Please be assured that we are working hard to avoid similar issues.
We invite you to visit www.dell.com or call 1-800-999-3355 if you wish to place an order for this product at its correct price.
Sincerely,
Dell
Personally, putting that part about “Dell cannot be responsible for pricing or other errors” is really just a load of crap. I know they have the technology to verify the prices before they go live. I think that all companies should have to honor posted prices no matter what.
Besides, if they really “truly value [their] relationship and reputation with [their] customers,” they would have eaten the cost and sent them out anyway. Or maybe just offer to sell it to us at cost.
But only if they “truly value[d]” us.
I think you might set a record for the longest time without making a new blog post since you started your blog.
Actually not quite. I
canmade a script and found that the greatest time between postings in recent times (i.e. within past few years) occurred between January 3rd and January 13th of this year.The next most recent gap occurs freshman year between May 12th, 2005 and May 21st, 2005.
