have you ever bought something online, and you somehow never get charge for it?

I bought some cooling fans long time ago, and the vendor never charged me for them. I think they had a computer gitch or something. good for me! 😉

Not onlinek but at the supermarket self checkout. Was about 60 bucks in groceries. Receipt came out and I just shoved it in my pocket. Didn't notice that it was blank.

Card was never charged.

i ordered one SCSI adapter, 50 pin to HD50 , each was about $30. this was 6 years ago

they sent me one BOX instead of one, so i got 20 in the box, $600 worth for $30. i called and tried to get them to take them back and they ignored me. i still have about 15 of them

oh yeah, my brother ordered 1 hi8 blank video tape from JandR music world long time ago, they shipped him 1 box with 10 tapes in it. These tapes were really expensive way back when, I think they were like 15-20$ each. whatta deal!

I ordered a bunch of cds about a week before 9/11. My order came about a week late due to all the flight restrictions. Then a few days later, I got another delivery with a second copy of all the cds.

Also, I never got charged for the fileplanet subscrition I bought to get into the WoW open beta.

Never bought an item online that I got free, but I bought online service and got it free. Back in the dial-up days, 96 or 97 I dropped my larger national ISP and went with a highly recommended local company. Needed the set-up software and didn't want to wait, so the owner gave me directions to his condo so I could pick up the disc that evening. At the time even dial-up was going for $20 a month, they had a deal to try 3 months for $30. I paid him $30 up front for 3 months and had the service running that night. After 3 months they never sent me a bill. After 6 they never sent me a bill. After a year still no bill. 18 months no bill, 2 years no bill, 25 months no bill. About 26 months later the service just stopped working. So I had 23 months of free ISP service.

yes i purchased over 100$ of Mt Bike stuff from Cambria (http://www.cambriabike.com/) had to wait as something was on backorder, when it finally came i was never billed, that was back in like march of 04
the CC i used to pay for it no longer exists

I never got anything for free, but I got $30 from Office Depot once.

I ordered a calculator over the summer, and a week later I called them because it never shipped out. It somehow got lost in the system, so they refunded my order and put it in again. When they refunded my money they refunded the full price of the calculator, and only charged me back the price of the calculator with my $30 off coupon factored in. So basically my ~$130 TI-89 only cost me $100.

I received an epson c80 printer - never ordered never billed. . . my name on it. . .

Ordered a $200 picture with frame, nver got charged, never got it, never heard from them, so i was like wtf?

Ordered 4 books from MilitaryBookClub.com, they sent the same order twice. Two bad having more than one of the same book is kind of useless, never got around to selling them on ebay or anything, should probably do that one of these days...
