Am I the only one who the bay screwed over? Heh.
I dont want to get into it to much as its a long process to explain and really understand. No offence to anyone. Under the Canadian consumers act there is a code that they must honour their mistakes for pricing. I found about all about this when Merkle Camera in Toronto accidentally put their Canon 7D for a retail price of just under $700. The camera at that time was less than 6 months old and retailed for almost $2000. I work at a law firm and I had one of the associates i chat with on a regular and he printed out the "Canadian Consumer Act". He showed me a section which states basically where they have to honour the price it was bought for. Long story short you will need to file a law suit to win the case, specially with a big company like Hudsons Bay company. In my story it ends where I did get one Canon 7D at the sale price( I ordered 5-6 and tried to take advantage
Thanks for sharing that, gave you a rep for the good info. Any chance your friend is willing to write/call on my behalf and half the ppl in this thread?

It took the associate at my firm to use his free time to write them a legal letter and phone calls to make this happen. I was not going to get legal help but he offered to see what he can do.
There is alot of detail missing from my story on how I was able to get on camera. Lots of fine detail that will make or break the case according to the associate who helped me. If you really want to know the details PM me and ill get at you.
Hope this helps someone...some people just dont know what they are entitled to unless they seek for help. I just got lucky knowing someone or i would have just left it alone and.
I guarantee you it'll take a while for Hudson's Bay to reply to you on that one unless everybody who got their order cancelled sent a letter and took it to the media, though I'm not sure if the Act covers for usage of multiple codes (that could be a script error) but business ethics-wise they should honour the order.

First, there is a big difference between the law and business ethics. Trust me when I say if it was illegal for The Bay to cancel these orders, they wouldn't have done it and exposed themselves to that level of legal repercussions. Mistakes happen, price errors occur every single day. Companies don't HAVE to honour the errors at all - if they do, consider yourself lucky as it was a nice gesture on their part. This wasn't even a price error, but a flaw in their online system which let people stack coupons....which as stated, isn't allowed.
Thanks a lot for the info
I'd like to know as well. I called Livestock & Capsule and both said they won't be getting them. They came out last weekend and I struck out on NDC.
