Trust me. Threaten legal action. They must sell you the exhaust at the advertised price. It's the law.
They can post any type of disclaimer on there they want, it doesn't matter. The disclaimer is only there to fool the uneducated. They are responsible for their actions period.
If you want I can dig up the statute.

Order 1630
Hey,
I got the exact same e-mail from them, and i replied similar to yours 2 times in the past 2 days and have received a 1 word response. I also have my confirmation e-mail and Invoice print-out. Let me know if they respond to you. If they respond, you can use me as an example if needed my order number was 1630
Here is what i ahve from them:
[
We need to find someone who placed an order the other night on a product that was priced correctly and I'm almost willing to bet anything, their order went through and there was no system updating.
I can't believe that they would claim that they know nothing of our orders simply becuase they screwed up. If it were a good company they would confront us with their mistake atleast, instead of completely denying it.

Yes, please share the statute. I'm curious what it actually says.Smooth_Operator said:
Honestly, I think if you threatened a law suit, they'd say bring it on. They likely have a lawyer at their disposal, unlike the rest of us. And they know it would cost you more than the difference in price to attempt to fight it.
If this were an ongoing practice of deception, you might have something on them. It sounds to me as if it were an honest mistake on their part (I'm sure they did not do this deliberately), and maybe they are not handling the situation very well, but you guys are asking to get something for half price. It's for this reason they have the disclaimer on their website.
Just me 2 cents...
To be honest, I never expected get the catback, nor did I really want it. It just would have been a steal for the price. I just don't like the way they handeled the situation by leing. Oh well
I totally agree with you, but its just the fact that they would tell a bold face lie about not getting the order. That's just bull

Okay I will bring forth the statute by Monday afternoon.
What probably really happened here was they were looking to unload a couple of sets of catback exhaust on the cheap and they got caught by Steeda/Borla who'd be very pissed to find they were being under cut by someone they supplied, finding MWH in violation of their contract.
You will win just be patient.

Time of Contract Formation.
Under the common law of contracts, an acceptance is effective on dispatch, so a contract is created when the acceptance is transmitted. The UCC does not alter this so-called mailbox rule. Article 18(2) states that an acceptance by return promise "becomes effective at the time moment the indication of assent reaches the offeror."
Under article 18(3), the offeree (you) may also bind the offeror (MWH) by performance even without giving notice to the offeror. The acceptance becomes effective "at the moment the act is performed." Thus, the rule is that it is the offeree's reliance, rather than the communication of acceptance to the offeror, that creates the contract.
Basically, they offered to sell the exhaust, you accepted. The contract was set in stone the second you hit "send" and any deviation there of by either parties is breaking the contract. So MWH must sell you the exhaust for the exact price indicated.
You also attempted to pay with your credit card fullfilling what is known as "Partial Performance". In other words you gave their money, now they must give you the parts.
You have plenty of documentation,i.e. edvidence, besides there's two of you, this is a very cut and dry case.
You have by the short hairs so don't cave into their
.
If you need any other help just holler.

Contact the State of NY attorneys office and the Local Sheriff's office and let them know what's going on. You may depending on the law in the State of NY be able to file something similar to a "Financing Statement" with the State, which will serve public notice to all that MWH owes you the exhaust and it will inhibit MWH from selling any more Cat-Back exhaust untill the your sale is satisfied.
Sorry darkshadow...I would pursue this with you but I ordered a Magnaflow catback from john at completeexhaust.com he quoted the catback for 299.99 and I've seen it everywhere else retailing for 480. And magnaflow is the catback I had wanted in the first place. But if you need anything I will do whatvere it takes to get your catback...they stopped responding to my eimails as well.

Pleeeeeease...the world does not work this way. But businesses can and do occasionally make errors. Like I said earlier, 'And so will end another thread...nobody will do anything about this...' because there is nothing that can be done. Unless this is an ongoing practice to deceive the consumer, you don't have a case. But you can try to make a case with enough money - I'm sure a lot of attorneys would take the case just to take your money. And you'd better get one in NY as that's where the transaction took place. So get your plane tickets, hotel reservations, etc. It's gonna be a long battle. Am I making my point?Smooth_Operator said:
That is correct Greg. They are doing what any business should do, but it's essentially just stating the obvious.GregGTStang said:
