Ugh! Ever make a stupid mistake and miss out on a good deal?
« on: December 01, 2014, 09:41:24 PM »
EDIT: Whoops, I must be really tired. Can somebody please move this into correct forum for me please? I didn't mean to post this in Pony Corral.

Wow, I'm so slow, lol. I hate it when somethings right in front of my face, but by the time I actually realize what it is, it's already too late.

So, There's this clothing store called LittleMissMatched that seems to be aimed towards a very girly tween demographic, but they are known for their mismatched socks that are sold in odd numbers (and are the cutest ever!) and I just discovered that they sell socks for guys (which is friggin' awesome!) so I went on their site and created an account after finding a 20% coupon, but then I saw on their main page that you can get 50% off plus free shipping but due to the odd way in which they worded the phrase "Use Code Cyber", I read it out of the corner of my eye as Use Cyber Code and couldn't figure out what it actually was, then when I finally realized that "Cyber" was actually the code, It was 2 minutes past expired. :(

Oh well, I could have gotten the other 2 pairs of socks I wanted before I got paid, but since they are running a different deal for the next 12 days, hopefully there will be a sale that is equally as good. :)

I would be very confused by that code, too! Yeah, I've made mistakes and missed out on stuff before. I had $10 free to spend at my favorite clothes store once, but I accidentally let it expire.  -_-

Next time something like that happens, try contacting customer support and explaining the issue! They might not be able to do anything, but I've found that often sites will try to make things right, even if it wasn't really their fault. I had almost the exact issue with a Hot Topic sale one time. Missed the deadline to use a coupon by just a few minutes. Contacted customer support the next day, and they gave me the sale price anyway. Never hurts to ask!

Well, I did miss a great pony deal lately which I cried after finding out that seller send me a message telling me not to pay anymore because I didn't make it on time with my payment and he sold it to someone else.  :sad:

Happens to the best of us :)

You subconsciously now are a bit more aware and should it happen again, you are more likely to grab it^^
