NCIX will be cancelling all orders containing $0 items. I didn't put in an order because it would have been both a waste of my time and theirs.

When you get your original status e-mail you'll see this.....

Covers their butt, and it's pretty well universal for any business that has an e-tail presence.

The "legality" of pricing under canadian law would only come into play if it could be proven that a company purposely advertised a price it had no intention of honouring.

Any charges will be refunded. If you think thats going to happen immediately think of how many other guys who felt the need to take advantage of a flaw like this.

Ncix is sweet
Dear Valued Customer,

Due to a maintenance error October 31, 2008, several items were

the error and any confusion it may have caused.

All orders submitted with this pricing error will be canceled, and
refunds will be issued before the end of today's business day.

For your inconvenience, we are offering a $5 Gift Card, or that amount added to your refund, depending on your payment method. If you have not
received a refund or the $5 Gift Card (or equivalent) by November 3rd, please
feel free to contact us.

We apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to contact us from our message center:

Wow, awesome of them to offer up a gift card for their error--especially for such an obvious glitch.

I'm not sure if it's me, but I don't think NCIX should be giving out gift cards for these glitches as it encourages people to order stuff when an obvious glitch has occurred. The more orders that are processed the higher the cost they are going to have to pay in terms of man power, to resolve the underlying issue by refunding all the purchases.
