Is this Legal? Staples tried to charge me a different amount than the checkout total.

[anonymouschris]

they deleted the correct order total link which had my clie for $55 and changed it to $428. they tried to charge my credit card for that amount. is that legal?

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

sounds like switch and bait (though probably unintentional). Regardless, if you had bought the item, the transaction is done.

 

[anonymouschris]

im talking to a staples rep right now and she is rather rude.

 

[Russ]

Hell, you know what they did to me once? I ordered three IBM laptops and they sent me three one foot cat5 cables.

Russ, NCNE

 

[anonymouschris]

what did they charge you for? STAPLES business practice is unbelievable. the rep threatened to end the chat converstation on me. wtf? now she is mute. i dont see how it can be legal for them to charge me two different totals.

LMAO, Russ, you're on fire this morning!

The best insults are the ones that go undetected...

 

[Russ]

I suppose I should have realized something was amiss when the laptops were priced at $3.95 each. Still, though, that's what my order said. Should I sue them?

Russ, NCNE

 

[anonymouschris]

haha. definitely.

 

[Keego]

well I ordered 3- 3.95 laptops and I got them. Sucks to be you Russ

 

[DaiShan]

this stuff happens all too often now and I am getting sick of it!

Buy one off ya for 4.95

 

[csiro]

The real question is....How did you get the clie for $55?

 

[PowerMac4Ever]

Staples has a lot of disclaimers basically saying that your total is there for convenience and by placing the order, you are allowing them to charge you whatever the hell they want. So yeah, be carefu. I've stopped ordering from them a loong time ago because of this sh*t.

All bow down to the master. Russ, for when you need to smarten up just to know you've been dissed!

 

[EagleKeeper]

Russ, when did you order the lappys. I got 3 IBM lappys when I ordered CAT5 cable
Trade?

 

[hans007]

i think they are allowed to change it. when you check out it says that that total is an estimate and it canbe changed due to errors and stuff . i mean really you are the one who tried to order a $55 sony clie after all, did you really think you could get it for $55

They actually called, profusely apologized and gave me the cables free.

[notfred]

oh yeah, and I suppose that if you were selling a geforce 3 card in FS/FT, and you were adding up shipping to the total price, and the total on the calculator came out to $3.49, you'd sell it for $3.49 and not say "hmm, that's not right".... Yeah, sure.

 

[yakko]

They should give you a final total price before charging your credit card that can not be changed.

 

[anonymouschris]

well, i did get an enlight 15" lcd for $6 shipped. plus i get the $70 rebate which means they pay me $65 to take the lcd

 

[Deeko]

How much is the Clie SUPPOSED to be?

 

[anonymouschris]

the clie is supposed to be $399, but i used a $344 coupon that i was given. they just deleted the coupon that i used and charged me for the full price.
