Funny little story

Sykk

So on Friday a mate of mine called me up to tell me than Expansys had made a mistake on their pricing. Samsung Galaxy tablets were listed at €0.00 on the website so he ordered two and payed just €12.00 postage, I done the same as did lots of people! They quickly copped on and changed the price.

Some people I know went on and ordered 10..

Anyway he gave them a call today to see where his tablet was, here's what happened.

Mate: Hi, I want to check on my order
Worker: Sure, can I get the order number please
Mate: *******
Worker: Okay one moment.
Worker: Ah that's not a proper order, sher they cost like 500 quid
Mate: Yes it is a proper order. I've received a confirmation mail and that's the price I paid
Worker: No sorry that's not the right price
Mate: It's what was advertised and I purchased it at that price
Worker: No
Mate: No what?
Worker: I'm cancelling that
Mate: Don't cancel it!! It's the price I got it at!
Worker: No, cancelling it now, sorry.
Mate: Don't you dare cancel it! What about my postage and packaging I paid!!?
Worker: *Hangs up*

So what do you think AH? Besides this being hilarious, what should the man do next?

He shouldn't have rang. They may have posted them unwittingly.

It's been 4 minutes and the OP has no thanks, clearly not a very funny story.

If your mate has the confirmation email and amount on that he has a case. Also will have to get the name and details of whoever cancelled his order and for them to apologise.............maybe...............

He didn't pay any price. No consideration, no contract. They can cancel it whenever they like.

P&P is a cost additional to the item, but doesn't represent the "cost" of the item.
Basically where something is offered for free, it can be withdrawn whenever the hell they feel like it.

I don't get it.

Teacher asked little Johnny to make a sentence using the words 'trickle' and 'anecdote'.
Little Johnny: "I don't know dem words Miss"
Teacher: "Well, an anecdote is a short, funny tale, and trickle means to run slowly"
Little Johnny thinks for a bit and finally says
"The small dog trickled down the street waving his anecdote"
