Kirean Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) The longer they wait, the harder pulling the plug becomes. Maybe with hardware, since they haven't shipped anything (yet?), they'd probably have the best case scenario on going "oops, we had wrong prices. Apologies." With digital goods that were already delivered and activated, the line becomes a crap on murkier. Having worked around some similar, but way smaller scale stuff before in a different field, I think one question they're mulling over is the 3rd party sales and what their contracts say about responsibilities in their own supposed screw ups. As one might remember, the Impact Soundworks sale sometime ago revealed some peculiarities in their symbiosis with Native's platform and I doubt 3rd party sellers are keen to pick up the bill for someone else's mishaps. Yet, the bigger question is how didn't a company as big as Native pick up the supposed problem faster? And if they did, how did they not hit the kill switch sooner? Surely they'd have indication and alarms on servers getting unusually hammered and orders coming in at record paces.

Sander Verstraten Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I did get an order confirmation for the Traktor S2 I ordered, and it hasn't been cancelled (yet). So I guess it's a waiting game then... But they should have a proper communication out right now. It's 13:30 in Germany already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 13:30 in Germany already The „order confirmation“ you’re talking about is automated and means nothing. It includes something like „sales will be checked manually and are only final once the products have been shipped. The actual confirmation of receiving the products is an e-mail labeled „invoice / shipment notification“, and as far as I can see in other forums, no one has received any word on what will happen to hardware orders, but keep in mind they honoured hardware orders of the last massive glitch „sale“. Anyway, I want my 5 Maschines now, so I can have one in each room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicMan Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Was u-he Zebra for sale on there? I looked at the time, but couldn't find it for some reason. But it is NKS compatible as well, so I would've thought it would be in the store too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to get it through Plugin Boutique or something... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still very happy with what I got in the end anyway, but Zebra would've been nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I got the NI bundle (Zebra2, Dark Zebra, Diva, Repro, Hive2, Presswerk, Satin, Twangstrom, Colour Copy) back then for $199. Not that bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirean Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Someone posted this in VI Control: Quote Hi everyone, Thanks for bringing the issue to our attention. We had a temporary pricing error in our online shop from 3 am to 2:30 pm last Sunday, September 3. This error caused nearly all products to be discounted by over 60%. Once we became aware of the issue, we identified the root cause and made the necessary fix. If you purchased software products during this timeframe, your order will remain unaffected. We recognize that these orders have already been fulfilled and we respect the fact that you may have already installed and used them in your projects. Unfortunately we cannot honor the prices on any hardware orders that were placed during this period. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment this might cause. These orders will be cancelled and we have begun to issue the refunds. This may take a few days to arrive depending on your payment method. As a gesture of goodwill, we are offering all affected customers a 10% voucher for future hardware purchases which will be sent out via email today. We know a situation like this can be frustrating and we appreciate your understanding. Looking forward, we can assure you that we have adjusted our process to prevent such errors in the future. If you have any questions about your order, please reach out to our Customer Care team here: https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/sections/360000092537 I'll be closing this thread as the matter pertains to specific order details, which are best addressed by our dedicated support team. Supposedly posted somewhere in Native's forums but couldn't find it myself with a quick glance.

See the post above yours. They're honouring all the software purchases, so grats to everyone who got Strezov and the likes. I only made a modest purchase with GGD M&M but I'm extremely happy with it and I think it's already my second favourite library after Tokyo Scoring Drums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
