Gray Britax Marathon for $42!! (Update: out of stock)

Gold Member Joined: Nov 14 2004 Posts: 1741

I just tried to order & it wouldn't let. I called & they told me it was a mistake & they are not going to honor it. They told me they are going to give people the option of ordering at $249.99. I hope he was wrong & whoever ordered will still get them.

I logged on too late. they were out of stock already. I have the gray car seat though, so I probably wouldn't have ordered it anyway.

just got an email from target cancelling the order because it was mispriced Sad

oh well.
"Due to an unexpected error, the following item(s) you have ordered
were incorrectly priced at the time of your order.

Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat - Granite

We're sorry, but we are unable to offer this item for the incorrect
price. The correct price is $279.99. We have canceled your order for
this item. If you would like to order this item at the correct price,
please visit Target.com to check for availability.".....

I also ordered it.
Now I see that I also got such an email.
I'm so upset, bec. I was just saying last week that I need to get a new carseat for DD.

But don't they have to honor it? I remember when American Airlines had a glitch on their website a few years ago, and you can purchase any flight for $25, thye had to honor it. My friend got those tickets.

It's in their pricing policy on their web site.

We had also ordered a snow blower for $16!

Ugg - I'm sorry to hear they are canceling the orders. I ordered 2 of them, along with a $300 snow thrower for 15.99.

Sometimes they miss these things and ship them But when people call it throws up a red flag to them. Also the fact that some people order 10 of them. And that the price is 85% off.

Oh well, at least I tried.

Just spoke to my son and he got an e-mail from Target offering $25 to forget the whole car seat business. Does anyone know what the lowdown is on this? Are they going to honor the car seat price and when are they getting them in? If anyone has any updates on this matter or they already got the car seat, please let me know. thank you

If anyone out there received this car seat, please let me know. Or if you know the status of these. We got a $25 certificate from Target if we forgo any negotiations with the car seat. Did anyone else get these?

I also got the $25 E-gift card but I didn't imagine that I should fight for them to honor their price! It makes sense that it was an error and it's ludicrous to imagine them puting so much parnassa on the line by honoring every order. But a free $25 for placing an order I have no problem with!

The e-mail that I got stated that use of the gift card means you do not hold target to their price for the carseat and you cannot go in on any class action suits.
