Homepage error… I refused to cancel the order and eventually accepted it.
A man in Mexico caused an uproar after purchasing luxury brand Cartier earrings at one-thousandth of the regular price.
According to the New York Times (NYT) on the 26th (local time), Rogelio Villarreal, who is working as a surgical resident in Mexico, came across a Cartier advertisement on Instagram last December.
Villarreal said that until then, he did not know what brand Cartier was. While looking through handbags, watches, and necklaces, he found earrings made of rose gold with 18-carat diamonds. At the time, the price of the earrings was 237 pesos (about 19,000 won) per pair. The actual price is known to be 237,000 pesos (about 19 million won).
As soon as Villarreal discovered these earrings, he purchased two pairs. A week after his purchase, he received a call from Cartier saying, “Please cancel your order because there is an error in the price display on the website.”
He did not respond to Cartier’s request to ‘cancel the order,’ and the company responded, “We will cancel the order.” “In exchange for the inconvenience, we will provide you with a free bottle of Cartier champagne and one leather product.”
Villarreal also rejected this. He said, “I saw on the Cartier website that if a dispute arises regarding a purchase, you can request mediation from the relevant organization,” and “Instead of receiving a free gift, I followed the procedures according to the regulations.”
In the end, Cartier concluded the case by delivering the purchased product to Villarail.
On the 26th, Villarreal posted a photo of the earrings that arrived on his He also shared a photo of the earrings on his fingers, saying, “They look good even when worn as a ring.”
In response to this, Senator Lilly Teyes, who was a prospective Mexican opposition presidential candidate, pointed out, “Even if you are legally protected, it is wrong to use your mistakes to harm others.”
