Subject: AxionTech.com - Order ********* Cancelled due to pricing error


You have received this email from AxionTech.com because
you have ordered one or more Hitachi 80GB IDE hardrive for $2.95.

Unfortunately we can not honor your order due to incorrect pricing from our distributor. One of our distributor sent us price file every night. Last night their pricefile contained this Hitachi hard drive for $2.00, our server apply our profit margin and round it up to the nearest 95 cents. As the result the price was $2.95.

Being able to synchronize cost with our distributor is priceless feature. But today it has proofed that our distributor mistake(s) could domino effect our pricing.

AxionTech.com is not trying to perfom any bait and switch technique. This was an honest mistake and was never planned or done intentionally. In fact we spent several hours fixing this mistake on Sunday night.

We have cancelled and refunded all orders. No charge will ever appear on your credit card.

Again we are sorry and we apologize for your inconvenience and time.

Please call our Sales Department using the number below for any question.

Sincerely,

Yeah, well, here over at TechIMO where all of this actually initiated we did some research too. And unfortunately we found this:

I told them not to spread it to Anandtech or it'll get killed for sure... and lo-and-behold!

Being an old 'trekkie' , I liked it when the doctor(mcCoy) would look at some poor soul and say"He's dead Jim"

Like this deal is.

coincidence??? After I ordered this HD, I started to get tons of SPAM that was not filtered into Bulk on Yahoo! Mail. This was, of course, was after I created an account to purchase the HD. Is it just coincidence or does Axion Tech sell consumer info???

That is perhaps the most efficient use of Star Trek knowledge I have ever seen.

If I start getting spam mail, its because they are selling the information, and that could DEFINATELY constitue legal action, because that implies that this isn't a "mistake", but rather a way to get a ton of people to sign up for an account so they can get their personal information. Wait and see...

 

[ReiAyanami]

no, they give it away for free


no, their website is so shoddy, some hacker probably e-mail harvested yours. i think a $3 HD shows how shoddy it is

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

On the phone right now arguing with them.... *sigh*

I'll tell how it goes

 

[amdman2003]

I got hit with SPAM after i joined up too

THey transferred me over to some manager after the lady that first picked it up couldn't handle it. I'm not going to give up easily on this one. They'll probably end up just selling it at that price to me... lol

 

[amdman2003]

LMK how it goes!

 

[smartt]

just got 5 of them today, w0ot

 

[amdman2003]

It actually went through smartt?

 

[amdman2003]

Curiously.there doesnt happen to be any legal Wiz's that could help us get our HD;s for 3bux is there

 

[phillydog]

Price now shows $74.95 as of 7:16pm 20.OCT.2003

 

[MontyBurns]

so just wondering, why exactly do you deserve to be sold this drive for $3? You didn't know it was a price mistake?
