Ms. Superduper (OP) User ID: 46155084 United States 10/06/2013 03:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | She had already bought and paid for the merchandise. If they failed to let her take possession of it then they would have been liable. Quoting: Unixlike Period. End of story. It's the fact that she had a receipt showing she'd already paid. The deal was complete. True. This is obvious. I am fond of the fact that Home Depot got ripped because they are on the illuminati force. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.

The small print says they are not responsible for pricing errors, and have the right to change the price in the event a mistake is made in advertising. |

Money had already changed hands and the transaction complete. The wood no longer belonged to home depot. It belonged to her. Fraud? How so? She bought it at their advertised price? |

No what the could have done was refunded her for her order and sent her on her way. But they were descent enough to honor the mistake. That is great customer service IMO. |
