I got an ad for a ring that was on sale for $18, but when I clicked on it it was listed on the website for $31. I emailed them and said hey, this ad gave me the wrong price (hoping they’d give it to me for the price I originally saw it in their ad for), but they just said oops the ad is wrong! 🤨🥸💀

Does that rub anyone else the wrong way or just me? There was a comment on the ad that said the prices were inaccurate too. It just feels like baiting honestly, or false advertising I guess. Irks me.

Not only you. I'd go out of my way to remove myself from their mailing list and block their domain. I don't do business with bait-and-switch shops or the newest variant: algorithm-driven, real-time pricing. What a scam.

Yeah that's pretty much a "I will never buy anything from them ever" thing for me. If they're being dishonest on the advertising then you can't really trust them with the delivering what you bought side.
