    I ordered it off of amazon. I just got an email saying my item has shipped (for free). We'll see.

    when you go to sams website the normal way (not clicking on link), that item is nowhere to be found. i copy and pasted the item # and "oops, item not found". i looked up cannon safes, and it wasnt listed again. im calling bs on this one. but i sure did wanna order like 3 of these things and pass them off as xmas gifts come this december...

    ordered from amazon this morning at about 815 am PST.

    just got email from ShopZeus -where amazon sent the order to- saying order cancelled due to Out of Stock.

    10minutes later got email from amazon saying order has been shipped?

    i doubt i was phished because when I clicked on the amazon link in the first post and added to my cart, my address and other info were already there from previous orders...

    oh well
    easy come, easy go

    The first link in the OP's post displays differently (what he pasted) to where it goes. Both seem to be samsclub.com. But differ slightly in the url.

    Yeah, right now you can't even buy it online with the link in the OP.

    It's clever what they did. Saying it's sold out is a good way of hiding a price mistake and then not having to reward the consumer. I'm hoping Sams does the opposite.

    Yeah. The one I posted has a port. I found the one from the original samsclub.com website though. Same thing.

    This thread had me laughing my ass off at work. I thought to myself "there has to be people on SlickDeals or FatWallet who live in a 3rd floor apartment and who have no need for this thing ordering 10 of them because..... it's a deal!" :grin:

    I would have if I lived in the US. "What's the worst thing that can possibly happen?" - you could get nothing, or you could sell them for a fraction of the actual value and still make a profit.

    Yeah, but in an upper-story apartment? It's curbside delivery. I think it'd be up to you to get it up to the apartment. I wouldn't even want them to deliver it to the front porch of my house - I'd have to invite 3 or 4 guys over to help move it into the house. lol.

    When it's Smash Bros Brawl 60% off for $19.99, give them a crappy $10 gift card that only works on-line.

    When it's a safe for less than 1% of its MSRP, do you really think they are going to give you anything?

    Why would you be expecting a gift card? Pricing mistakes happen all the time on the web, those orders get cancelled, and that's that. If you were really serious about the safe, then you can take their courtesy discount of $100 off the normal price.

    They'd have to give out a ton of gift cards especially since something like this would've spread like wildfire via word-of-mouth.

    I don't understand the sense of entitlement toward a gift card you seem to think you deserve.
