Woman who got a DEAL at HOME DEPOT
Most people keep their money under the floorboards, but one savvy shopper managed to save more than $4200 by buying them.

Sheila Laird couldn't believe her luck when Oak flooring, normally retailing at $65 per case, was reduced to an incredible $2.97 per box on Home Depot's website.

Fearing she would miss out on the deal, Laird printed the ad and took it to a nearby outlet where she bought 22 boxes.

Opportunist: Sheila Laird took advantage of a pricing error on the Home Depot website to buy floorboards for her home at just $3 a square foot

Error: Sheila Laird ordered 72 boxes of hardwood from Home Depot which was incorrectly advertised for $2.97 per box instead of square foot

She also paid for another 50 boxes at a different location to floor her 1500 square foot condo in Calgary, Canada.

The proposal specialist paid just $213.84 for 72 boxes of hardwood.

But Global News reported that when she went to pick up the flooring, Home Depot cancelled the order.

HOME DEPOT is one of the illuminati corporations whose representative shows up for the summits, etc. put on by the illuminati.

Whatever one gives out, one gets back.

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.

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.

Actually, what she tried to do was an act of FRAUD and stealing! She should just be happy she wasn't arrested for it. 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.

Sure, but the deal was done. 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?

You sound so sure of yourself!

But you are wrong.

Stores do not have to legally honor orders that are a result of mistakes.

FACT ...

"Consumer experts say there is no law in Canada requiring that Home Depot honor the ad, as stores have a right to refuse a sale if there's been a mistake."

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.
