It's actually not like that in the USA. Amazon and other retailers have made numerous price mistakes in the past that were canceled without shipment. If you ask customer service, they might offer you a small gift card as a consolation. It's rare for companies to honor their price mistakes, especially major ones that incur them significant losses.
If the retailer charges you a different rate than advertised, that's a different issue, but it generally doesn't happen.

- commoner 7y agoIf the retailer cancels your order and refunds you the amount you paid (or releases the authorization hold on your payment card, since most retailers don't charge until the item is shipped), you won't have any damages to show. Price mistakes happen all the time, and I'm not aware of any US court case that penalized a retailer after they issued a refund.
