There are a lot of angry parents after Toys R Us cancelled online orders, blaming an online coupon glitch. But parents want the retailer to honor their mistake.
Bargain hunters thought they scored a huge deal, however, there’s always a “but.”
It turns out the promo codes for Toys R Us’ website were improperly shared online and quickly went viral.
Rachel Booth, who was shopping just weeks before Christmas and her son’s first birthday, found a coupon online and went to Toys R Us’ website.
“We went and bought about $400 worth of stuff. We got the big discount. When we checked out, it said everything was in stock. We got a confirmation email,” said Booth.
However, her heart sank after receiving an email the next day.
“The next day, I got an email saying they were canceling our order because nothing was available,” said Booth.
