What's up w/ ECampus.com's pricing?

Tarantino · 03-14-03, 09:02 PM

There are various movies listed at prices, then when you click to add the item to your cart, it's a totally different (higher) price.

Two examples are Beauty and the Beast (Criterion), listed at $19.99, then when you go to add, it's $28.99.
Band of Outsiders is listed at $19.99 and it's $21.80 when added to the cart.
On the other hand, Wasabi is listed at $19.99, and when added it appears as $18.99 and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels is listed at $19.99, but when added is $14.11.

They need to fix this, it's frustrating.

They had a whole batch of pricing mistakes yesterday as can be seen in the following threads:

They either have incompetent employees, or was purposely doing this to generate interests. Neither one is really good, because they don't honor misprices anyway.

Most people went ahead and ordered only because they'll get a coupon once the order gets cancelled.
