Yesterday at about 5:30PM EST I ordered 2 sets, online at $24.97.
I had noticed the 24.97 price on the search engine about 3 days ago.
At that time they rang up as 99.97 (ouch!) I just kept checking and
they finally came up correctly priced in my shopping cart yesterday.
I didn't even think of calling their customer service line. I'm glad
they are making it right for everyone.

| Incredible! Thanks to the original poster of this thread. I called Wally World yesterday after noticing the price discrepancy was still on their site. Not wanting to push my luck on the pricing error, I originally asked for two sets at the $24.97 (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
