kidamnesiac Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 "Hello from Amazon.ca, I need to look into the problem with the price increased for the item "Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness (Deluxe Box)", and it'll take a bit more time than usual. I just wanted to let you know I'll write back in 1-2 business days with more information. Thanks for giving me time to find the best solution."

achillesstand7 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 It's in the email. Looks unique possibly. Looks like the squeaky wheel got its grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamfletty Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I contacted them and I also got a promo code, and was able to replace my order for the original price. Sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Not getting my hopes up, wouldn't surprise me if this is another fluke, buuuuttttt.... I just now got the promo code and re-ordered, even though I never technically had the cheaper price to begin with. Well, now I do! Thanks Canada!

tsostarich Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'm really shocked that they did this. They must've gotten a shit load of complaints. Good to see the little guy winning for a change. My order was never canceled so it looks like I'm guaranteed to get it or the $26.99 as well.

kidamnesiac Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Got the same email. Stoked. Happy to see so many people get their orders back in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capsized Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Got the code as well! Fuck yeah, Canada!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I also received instructions with the promo code. Price doesn't work out to be exactly the same, but it's within a couple bucks, so I'm happy. I'm really glad they responded like this.

capsized Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hm, actually I originally ordered it together with a couple other things that are also still pending. However after the cancelling and reordering, it's a separate order and I have to pay postage again... Gonna ask them if they'll combine those orders again.

untiliwakeup Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 You guys need to stop whining. It was an obvious mistake that you hoped to take advantage of, they figured it out and changed it to the normal price. Is it their fault this box set is pricey? It still is cheaper on amazon than any other site . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philviral Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 This is pretty awesome. I originally placed my order when it was 65, and they cancelled my order. Just got an email telling me I'm eligible to re-order with the promo code at $30! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow_Tree_Records Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 So pumped. Just got my email and reordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degenerex Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Between this and Riot Fest lowering the price of their early bird tickets after they were already on sale yesterday, it feels like internet bitching is finally beginning to pay off. One day we'll look back at this Smashing Pumpkins box set as the McDonalds hot coffee on the lap of internet complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobfrombob Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 You guys need to stop whining. It was an obvious mistake that you hoped to take advantage of, they figured it out and changed it to the normal price. Is it their fault this box set is pricey? It still is cheaper on amazon than any other site . Hard to believe it was much of a mistake.... When they listed it on Amazon, it started out at $80 or $90 bucks. So they knew the list price. It dropped down to $26 and then back up to $70 or so and then down again to $26 a second time. Regardless, it is a class move for Amazon to step up and honour their price guarantee. I am going to forgive them for sending this in a 2 cubic foot box (beware anybody who hasn't had stuff shipped from Amazon Canada) xbpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
