I chose to wait, but when I checked online it stated my order was cancelled... I found it odd so I contacted customer service and have now received the following email:

Dear Tamara,



Recently the Fisher-Price Papasan Swing was listed with an incorrect price on BabyUniverse.com for a short time; this error has since been corrected. We strive very hard to get our customers the best prices but on rare occasion a pricing error may occur. We apologize for any disappointment this may cause.

I am very sorry you did not receive this information before your order was cancelled. The form of payment you used on your order will be credited as soon as possible. You will be receiving an e-mail with a discount code for 15% off of a future purchase as compensation for the error on our part. Again I am very sorry for the way in which your order has been handled.

My question is do I have any grounds here? Should I not be given this item at the price I purchased it for AND they CHARGED me already!!!
