WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - 'Anthropologie is giving away free couches online.' that was the most hot message on twitter on Thursday. Due to a probable system glitch, the website showed the price of the Edlyn two-piece chaise section as zero. As per the website anyone can own the Couches by paying just $149 as delivery charge. The actual price tag of the couches was $7,798.
Recognising the mistake, the company removed the page. In the meantime, many were able to book the couches.
People came up with questions when the company cancelled the orders. Customers were anxious to know if the company would honour the order. One tweet said, 'How can you not honor my couch order? Your mistake not mine!'
There were several messages under the hashtag Couchgate. One angry customer tweeted, 'U canceled my order lied about it I want a $2000 gift card at minimum or Im goin to my lawyers.'
As per the policy of Anthropologie, it can cancel an order when a product is listed with an 'incorrect price due to photographical error, typographical error, or error in pricing information.'
