So...clearly based on your second sentence, this was an obvious price error. That means that you're subject to not only consumer law, but also the terms and conditions of sale that you agreed to when processing the order through the merchant's online portal. If they have a clause in that agreement covering pricing errors, then you are subject to the terms of that clause, because you would have clicked on an acceptance of those terms during the ordering process. Didn't read it? Not their problem. You want to go bringing business law into it, then you can't ignore all elements of contract law, including your acceptance of the terms of sale.dabomb54321 wrote: ↑ There was an item I was able to add to my cart, proceed to checkout, and finally pay for. I didn’t think much of it as I believed the item would most likely be cancelled. Once I actually obtained a shipping confirmation email, I was ecstatic to receive the item. My credit card was charged the exact amount as was stated on my shipping confimation receipt. From a business law perspective, this would conclude the agreed upon contract (money paid for goods/services at the agreed upon price; merchant shipped item and was now in my possession and I paid the agreed amount as was on my receipt). A week later, I get a charge close to about $1000 on my credit card from the same merchant for the goods that I had already paid for.

The above should have been the correct approach. Take the issue up with the merchant first. It might be that simple.

I would love to see the law that allows the vendor to change the price AFTER the product is shipped and in the hands of the consumer. Before the consumer is charged, I can see that. But it should be with the consumer's permission (i.e. they should be given the opportunity to cancel the purchase). But not after.User381785 wrote: ↑ Its literally written in law that a merchant can do this. OP tried taking advantage of a pricing error, they corrected it.

You're not reading any of the cases. In NONE of the cases I posted was the business allowed to charge the "correct" price. They can offer the customer the option to complete the deal at the correct price, or they can cancel the deal. They were not able to ship the product to the customer under the pretense of price $xxx, and then charge them later $yyyy.User381785 wrote: ↑ I love how you cherry pick and ignore to actually read what you post. Order contracts have a unilateral mistake of fact doctrine which allows them to breach the agreed contract to correct errors if honoring it would be considered unreasonable to the business. This is governed by Canadian law. If the OP saw a blatant pricing error saying a $1000 item is only $100, then the business has every right to either cancel said order or charge the customer the correct amount. He can't dispute a business charging him the correct amount for a product he in fact received.

You are exactly right - once an item has been shipped out and in the customers possession, that fulfills the business agreement between buyer and seller and they cannot automatically change the price afterwards.
