    Right, before i even post a link to this deal, i am going to state it is

    VERY POSSIBLY A MISPRICE

    I don't know anything about Photography equipment, but have noticed that this is €900+ cheaper than it seems it should be.

    Versus all of the other Amazon Prices

    But as it is Amazon, and Well known, i am posting it in case anyone thinks it may be worth a punt.

    Walimex Pro VC-600/600/600 with Flash, Umbrella, Light Stand Studio Set - £88.66 Amazon UK

    As far as i know, this could be end of line equipment, or it may be missing a major component or something else, hence the price...

    Total coming to £90.87 with free shipping?
    Usually dispatched within 1 to 2 months?

    Is it s'posed to be saying that?
    Is it that Amazon charges extra when items aren't immediately available?

    hummm i'd be pretty hapy if this went through, and amazon wouldnt be a company that messes around overly, anyone experience with mispricing with them?

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but from previous experience they wont...

    Amazon - like they did with the mispriced looney tunes boxset a while back will email you, cancel your order and refer you to their terms and conditions stating that they reserve the right to cancel order due to mispriced goods.

    This has happened to me on two previous occasions.

    Nah, that would take ages. I google "Price mistakes" in the last 24 hours.. :pac:
    Also, yesterdays was Priceminister.. :o

    When they do price mistakes (very rarely) sometimes they do honour them. Although this seems like a massive ask, if the price is supposed to be €1000..

    They have in the past honored a few i remember, but also haven't on other occasions the looney toons being the most recent.

    But they either don't take the cash, or reimburse you straight away.

    They did honour this misprice which was over €100 cheaper.. (Oops, pricenoia again.. :) )
    But €900... Maybe not, but maybe that's why 1-2 months delivery.


    Anyway, Amazon are safe enough.

    At the risk of being over optimistic... I'm slightly hopeful ( on a scale of 1-10 ........ 2)
    It wasn't on Hotukdeals and was only here for just over an hour. So hopefully not hundreds of orders. Bu that might also make it easier to cancel

    In the past I did get a 1 TB hard drive for £36 that was a misprice and was honoured, but this is bigger..

    was thinking the same thing myself, very few would order this. Having said that, it doesn't seem for sale on amazon for any price.......

    got my cancellation email. Did I see that if you give out via email, they might give a money off voucher?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,676 ✭✭✭CH3OH


    Me too.:(

    Time to ring Joe Duffy

    They do on Amazon France and Germany, as standard give you a voucher/coupon on all orders cancelled for textiles. So maybe if you worded an email to Amazon UK they might also..
