Bad News (Axim)
As was expected, here's the official word from Dell:
This is to notify you that, regrettably, we need to cancel your recent order for an Axim handheld PC. Due to our error, the system was shown online at an incorrect price, well below the correct price.
We specifically indicate on our web pages, our catalogues, and in our advertising that Dell cannot be responsible for such errors. In addition, our email acknowledgement provided to customers as they place orders states:
Please note, however, that Dell cannot be responsible for typographical or other errors, and reserves the right to cancel any orders resulting from such errors.
We truly value our relationship and reputation with our customers, and we realize the negative impact from these types of errors. Please be assured that we are working hard to try and prevent these problems going forward. We are sorry for any inconvenience that our error may have caused.
Yours Truly,
Dell Notification Department
I responded with an email asking what they'd do to remunerate me for the loss of the coupon that I used on the order.
UPDATE: I got a second cancellation email. Boy am I lucky!
