Order cancellation on website error

[Southwell]

A company i bought a product from had a missprice on their website and cancelled my order saying it was an error even though they have already taken payment. My question is can they legally do this or do they have to honor it now they have taken payment?

[millzy]

yeah they can

I thought they had to honour it.

Like the times when currys/comet got prices wrong and they had to sell stuff at the silly prices.

dunno about that i tried to buy a tv stand from comet for a penny, they rang me and said it was a mistake and the dont have to sell it at that price.

My friendly emessage to them....
I placed this order last night and had the money taken out of my account within a few minutes. If you are cancelling my order i either expect my money back in my account within 24 hours or a laptop to be delivered as was confirmed by your systems. As with other big suppliers they have tended to honour their websites prices when they make the mistake, I would expect no less from any other company.

just to be nosey how much was the laptop
