While browsing the luxury jeweler’s site, Rogelio Villarreal of Mexico, thought to himself ‘someday’. That is until he stumbled on a pair of 18K rose gold and diamond hoop earrings.
The earrings were priced at 237 Mexican pesos. That’s around 14 USD.
Understandably, Villarreal slammed that ‘add to cart’ faster than the speed of sound. He bought two pairs – one for him and one for his mom. However, Cartier attempted to cancel the order and tried to offer Villarreal some dinky leather good and champagne (probably Korbel). He rejected the offer. The company quickly updated the price to reflect the alleged value of 237,000 Mexican pesos.
Villareal cited a federal consumer protection law in Mexico stating the company could be taken to court “by not respecting the terms and conditions” and could face fines and penalties if they do not comply. He filed a dispute with PROFECO to help defend his claim.
After a long dispute, Villarreal got his earrings from Cartier for erroneously listed price.
Pues yo aproveche la oportunidad nenucas y hasta pedí dos pares, y díganme muerto de hambre pero dudo que ustedes hubieran desaprovechado la oportunidad. pic.twitter.com/lNUfAItHfu
