If its a matter of a few dollars, I think most vendors would rather eat that rather than lose the sale and a customer. But from what youre telling us the price was 1/10th of the price of a regular box. Multiply that by 10 original boxes, and another 15 you attempted to order and thats a LOT of money they are out.

What is the threshold, I dunno... but if I see a box thats more than 40% off, I have to question if Im really gonna get the cigars at that price.

Now, if the price online was incorrect you SHOULD expect the choice of having your money fully refunded, or getting the order at the correct value. I dont think its right that they shipped you boxes before you had an opportunity to make that decision. If they gave you 4 boxes at the 1/10 rate each, consider yourself lucky.
