I think they've made a mistake - they've mixed up the prices of the E100 and JVC DRM1. Doesn't the law say if you order it though then they have to deliver on the price*? Your getting around £500 off the price if you do...

[EDIT]
Apparantly not it seems - companies will normally deliver on the price but are not obliged to. If they do raise the price there is no obligation ot buy at the new price so might be worth a try...

Ring them up.

The JVC DRM1 is showing as £896 and the HS2 as £620,so it's odd.

Just ordered one.

I put the item in my shopping basket and this is the message I got when I clicked Continue With Secure Checkout:

Safari could not verify the identity of the website "www.hiwayhifi.com". The website’s certificate is invalid. You might be connecting to a website that is pretending to be “www.hiwayhifi.com” which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to continue anyway?

As Safari is a Mac browser I cancelled and went in under Internet explorer and got the following message:

"Unable to establish a secure connection to "www.hiwayhifi.com". There is a problem with the security certificate from that site. (The identity certificate name is not correct). The information you view and send will be readable to others while in transit and it may not go to the intended party." This message is accompanied by a large image of a padlock with a thick red line going through it!!!

These are quite worrying messages to say the least. Needless to say, I didn't go any further - but has anyone ever bought from them before?

[Rasczak]

Maybe they realised the mistake and disabled the server?

My order would appear to have gone through with no problems.
I had no warning messages about security or anything.
Have just received an e-mail from their customer services confirming order and price and saying my order is being processed.

Well if it all goes through you have got a bargain - the UK's best DVD recorder for less than the RRP of the cheapest in the range!

I'll try by phone in the morning, see what happens.

Or he's just given his credit card number to a scammer!

[Rasczak]

The site is part of the 'BT Trust' setup - and it says it's details are still valid - which would suggest it hasn't been hacked. And Credit Card protection legislation should preven him suffer any loss. It does just look like a geniune mistake which was probably detected and further orders blocked.

Rasczak,I have orderd one also with no problems.WE WILL SEE THEIR RESPONCE TO-MORROW

[Rasczak]

Good luck! I hope they don't notice - you'll be getting a great deal. I wonder if anyone has taken advantage and brought the JVC at £890

[Messiah]

Just worked for me. Don't need one but as I have an unused Philips 880 I thought at this price I'll sell that on and put this one in the rack instead.

[redmax]

Also just placed an order.
Lets keep our fingers crossed.
The site looked like a genuine encrypted site so I reckon it is a genuine mistake.
Can somebody clarify the following:
If they realise that there is an undercharge, can they take the difference from my credit card without permission?
If I decline permission will they refund the £349.00 I have given permission for them to take.
I have read on previous threads that they do not have any legal obligation to honour the price if it is wrong.

Cheers
