Yesterday, the whole of Romania found out that eMAG sold resealed products for 1 leu, compared to the normal prices that exceeded 1000 euros in certain cases, and one part revolted because they did not take the opportunity to buy something, while the second part called everything a marketing campaign of the store. Although the representatives eMAG they claimed that everything was just a system error that cost them approximately 250.000 euros and that using this amount they could have directed a much better promotion campaign, the important thing is that the people who ordered those products came into possession them, or at least a part of them.
eMAG customers collect the first products ordered for 1 leu
In this forum you have enough people who confirm the fact that they managed to raise from eMAG the ordered products with only 1 leu following the system error experienced by the online store, but the deliveries for them have not yet started. Only those who have visited a showroom of eMAG managed to get possession of the products they ordered and for which they chose to pick them up from the store, the orders being fully honored for the first people who picked them up and confirmed them. Those from eMAG confirmed yesterday that they will bear the loss and deliver the products to people, something that very few online stores do.
Although there is a lot of speculation about what is hidden behind this story, it does not matter if it is a promotion campaign or a mistake, as long as people receive the products they ordered by pure luck. Unfortunately, similar problems have existed in the past at many online stores, and most of them preferred to cancel customer orders instead of bearing the loss, which would have brought them more positive publicity than they could have imagined.
