you do have rights as a buyer.
All you did was buy a product at an advertised price.
Its happened here a few times, but dont think anyone got a light bar lol

Did you print off a copy of the advert or have some other proof of purchase?

[Jimmyboyjr4]

I have both invoice and a screenshot of the item on the website, plus my bank said that the charge had been processed on the CC it's just in the obligatory 'pending' state

If you have an Invoice and proof of payment then I would say you also have a killer bargain fridge.

If they have a disclaimer about pricing errors on their small print or have not acted in a deliberately deceptive manner and have not "accepted your offer to Purchase" by taking the money then they are under no obligation to sell the item at the erroneous price.

What they actually do is up to them and some retailers may opt to honour the price.

Don't be mislead by supermarket or scanner policies, that is a totally seperate thing

From Consumer law Handbook
There are no laws in Australia that specifically deal with online shopping. Legally the same requirements exist whether the purchase is conducted over the internet or offline (e.g. shopping at a retail outlet). Therefore, when you buy goods or services over the internet from an Australian trader, Australian consumer protection laws apply.

I recall Dick Smith duking it out with Consumers a while back over Memory Cards... Dick or should I say Woolies at the time won

[Agronaught]

Internet purchases don't have the same degree of consumer protection, they could simply refund the purchase but it wouldn't be considered reputable.

Given the size of the retailer I would expect the sale to go through as they can absorb the costs.

A smaller retailer wouldn't be able to.
