Ordered two 4TB SN850x for $338 each plus $27 shipping (I know right, shipping ripoff!), total $746. Still, the price was still good, even with all that shipping cost. Got an email for the order confirmation, and a hold placed on my credit card. Then 8 hours later, they followed up with a “vendor has kicked back the order due to a cost increase.” From $338 to $1,906, totaling $4,040. They were so generous to waive the $27 shipping due to the inconvenience they caused. We are doomed! These fuckers are raising the price left and right, EVEN AFTER you already bought and paid for the product, then tries to deceptively recoup the difference.
They canceled my order after my reply,
“Thank you for the update, though I am shocked by the revised quote.
To be clear: the price has increased from $338.19 to $1,906.06 per unit. This is an increase of over 460% for a consumer-grade SSD that currently retails elsewhere for a fraction of that cost.
I have already been charged the originally agreed-upon price of $746.19. While I understand that "product constraints" exist, a five-fold price increase after an order is confirmed and charged is not standard industry practice for a reputable vendor like CDW.
At this time, I cannot proceed with the revised quote of $4,040.85. Please honor the original price of the transaction already processed on my card and fulfill the order as placed.”
