Outpost.com gives away Zip Drives??? - HOT DEAL

[ander]

I tried to order, and it said $0.00, but when I went to checkout it said $194. I calle outpost, they said it was an error and they shut it down. Good luck to those of you who were lucky enough!

Doesn't work anymore.

Heh I think SinMen's order of a million of them, probably tipped them off.
SinMen I think you should stick to the lottery. You have pretty good odds of winning after you get hit by lightning 2 or 3 times. At least in New York anyways.

 

[brnbngls]

Must've just gotten mine in under the wire. Whew!

 

[SinMen]

At least I am nice enough to give it to everyone at only 12.50 shipped, not like those egayer. And limited only one per name per household per email address per credit card number per anandtech logon ID ,.....

 

[Ashlied23]

Sorry, you are not going to get your orders. They will charge you.

 

[gcy]

tried, but could not thru.....

 

[lefort]

Picture to confirm DEAD DEAL

 

[Ashlied23]

I know for a fact that any of the orders place at 0.00 will not get shipped.

 

[PicPop]

they pull it out already

 

[lefort]

Whoa!!! you guys can kill an internet connection pretty quickly. No wonder the deal died.

GEEEZ

 

[Ashlied23]

The deal didn't get killed because so many people placed orders, Outpost.com is just smart and knew of their mistake and were fixing it while you all were placing your orders.

 

[brnbngls]

They may not get shipped, but they cannot charge you the full amount. Same deal as if you went to a brick and mortar store and they had the wrong price. They screwed up, they pay the consequences. It's unlawful to charge an amount not verified by the customer.

 

[Ashlied23]

the orders will not get shipped, if you look under legal notices on outposts website, they are not held responsible for pricing errors.

 

[jskibo]

Order status now showing zero cost and Zero shipping.......Must be dead!

Subtotal: $0.00
Discount: $0.00
Net Product: $0.00
Shipping: $0.00
Sales Tax: $0.00
Order Total: $0.00

 

[throchris]

So who got a confirmation form outpost. If they do catch it will they send a e-mail asking if we want to pay the price or are we gonna have to decline delivery.

I really hope I get this deal.

thankz

 

[brnbngls]

How can they not be held responsible if they're the ones posting the price? Unless they're using a third party Web Design company that they give the information.

 

[itsmeeh]

geez... i hope you guys got it cause the page is gone already

 

[hkssupra69]

ashlied23, do you work for outpost or something?

 

[brnbngls]

I've poured over Outpost's site and I can find no such legal notice.

 

[OutlawWolf]

I haven't received kill mail yet.
Oh, I bet it'll come all right.

 

[Kenji4861]

I ordered it next day air, I hope it comes.

 

[ignorus]

I guess if you all get your free zip drives, I will be watching f---edcompany.com to see when Outpost.com files for bankruptcy due to their huge loses . Not saying that I wouldn't have tried myself to grab a free one myself if it was still around, I am just thinking about the guys who ordered like around 100 or more of them (which I am sure at least a dozen or so have done).

btw, the pricing error notice is here.

[slucky]

Well, they've charged my Flooz account for $8.95. We'll see...

 

[slucky]

Are you kidding me? First of all, there's no difference on when Not to receive it. And second, if ist does go through, they will ship it today anyway...
