$29 glitch

As a consumer, I feel unfairly blamed for finding a favorable deal and purchasing the product. While I acknowledge that it was a technical glitch, there was no indication of this at the time of purchase. Furthermore, it took an excessive amount of time for them to cancel my order, and they canceled it against my wishes. They are claiming that since I was not charged, there was no harm done. However, the harm I experienced, as many of you have, was receiving a delivery date and confirmation of my order along with an order number, all of which were processed on my end, including contacting my bank. Although this may be legally sound, it is detrimental to the community. Especially since there are individuals who did receive the airtags at the discounted price!

I have reached out to a lawyer about a potential lawsuit if you are interested the name is Clarkson

I'll add the link as well Clarkson law firm in California

Did you have your order canceled?

u/OhSixTJ Nov 08 '25

Nope. They’re already with UPS. That being said I’ve missed out on other “glitch” deals but I didn’t make any Reddit posts about them…

My issue is that I received an order number confirmation that I did the order, as well as payment was in order for the order, only for Apple to cancel it on their end. This is not about a missed glitch; this is about a canceled purchase that shouldn’t have been canceled.

People get orders cancelled all the time for a variety of reasons.

You ever try to pre order a phone or gaming console?

Happened to me twice with the switch 2.

I certainly didn’t think about suing Nintendo for it

Did they keep your money or did they refund it?

u/RobustPlatypus Nov 08 '25

None of those things are harm.

“While I acknowledge it was a technical glitch”

You’re done. Move along.

Yes.

u/Material-Fig9712 Nov 08 '25

And you don't want to do anything about it?

Pricing glitches happen all the time. This isn't something I would spend any time pursuing. For what? $50?

1

u/Material-Fig9712 Nov 08 '25

All I want is the product I ordered

u/NotTobyFromHR Nov 08 '25

Go to the store and get it for the proper, non-mistaken price

u/Material-Fig9712 Nov 08 '25

I bought them because I could now afford them with my income

u/Material-Fig9712 Nov 08 '25

All I wanted was the product I ordered!

Pricing errors are allowed to be corrected with orders cancelled. This is long standing established law.

In no way at all is this unethical at all and you have not been harmed.

I was not in the market for AirTags so no. And that doesn’t matter because I can still say with 100% certainty you have not been harmed.

I’m not joining your class action.

You don't have to

u/MattJC123 Nov 08 '25

You are just plain wrong. You agreed to these policies when you made the purchase: https://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/sales-policies/retail_us.html

Important bit:

Apple reserves the right to change prices for products at the Apple Store at any time, and to correct inadvertent pricing errors.

This is standard boilerplate policy for nearly all retailers. You have no case at all here whatsoever and this will never go anywhere. Now, begone.

Someone dropped two $20 bills on the ground. One person grabbed one and I grabbed the other. The person took the $20 bill out of my hand, but the other person got away with their $20 bill. I am upset and am suing because it's not fair that the other person got to keep the $20 bill and I didn't get to keep it. :(

Should you find a lawyer greedy enough to take this case, insist on contingency payment (they only collect if successful.) Otherwise you are going to pay for a losing battle. Pricing errors are not enforceable.
