Corsair Responds to the Canceled PC Order: Was It Really Just a Mistake?

TECH NEWS – According to the company, a component was listed at an incorrect price, which is why Corsair canceled all orders placed on January 1.

 

It appears that the user whose PC order was canceled by Corsair without cause was not an isolated case, as Corsair confirmed that it also canceled DDR5 RAM orders placed on January 1. After news of the cancellations spread (which we also covered), Corsair‘s official Twitter account posted the reason for the cancellations.

Corsair stated that it had to cancel “all” Dominator Titanium 48 GB DDR5 RAM orders placed on January 1 because the product was never in stock. Due to an internal system error, the product was briefly listed at an incorrect price on the website for pre-order. Because the RAM kit was unavailable, Corsair had to cancel all orders. However, the company has reportedly begun refunding orders and offering both a standard coupon and an additional DRAM-related coupon.

Regarding the PC order cancellations, Corsair claims that its fraud detection system flagged the order, prompting its cancellation. On January 1, when the holiday promotion ended, the price returned to normal, meaning the PC is now listed at $4,299 instead of $3,499. The company announced that users can still place orders at the promotional price.

The incident did indeed happen, but without the user’s Reddit post, the reason for the cancellation might never have come to light. This highlights why it is important for users to share their experiences when companies fail to provide clear answers. However, one question remains: while mistakes can happen, couldn’t this have been checked? RAM is extremely expensive — even a couple of kidneys aren’t enough for 128 GB — and this should have been handled more carefully by Corsair.

That would have been the very least the company could have done.
