Right after the clown colored CMYK Diana F+ was released, being the sucker I’ve always been … I placed an order for it because I had 70 piggies (US$ credit) with them. So in minutes the order was placed. Minutes later, I changed my mind. I wanted to maybe change it to the bundle with the Diana Mini and perhaps a Gorillapod. So I quickly login to cancel the order before it is processed and luckily I was able to do so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I clicked the ‘cancel order’ button and guess what … some message saying that my 70 piggies has been refunded (since I cancelled the order) was displayed on screen. Oh wait! Wait!!! No it didn’t say 70 piggies … but … 140 piggies!!! What the …. ???!!!! I was shocked for a while and quickly I checked my piggies again and it really showed ‘140 piggies’!!! I guessed some miracle (aka software bug) happened and my piggies got doubled!!! So I re-ordered the items and here they are today … my almost free toys! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

You must be wondering why the hell I didn’t try cancelling the order again to see if I can double up the piggies again.<\/p>\n

Right? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I admit that I did. Okay … I wasn’t very honest then. \ud83d\ude00 But too bad the miracle didn’t happen anymore but I was already hell happy getting these free babies for free. \ud83d\ude00 I’ve sinned but … hey … I’ve invested tons of money buying plastics from them … this should be some kind of ‘reward’ for my loyalty. Right? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I believe in karma. Feeling a little bit guilty days later, I did email their customer service to explain the situation and they replied me saying that I don’t need to pay for the difference. Phew! Don’t say that I’m stupid to do so but I just didn’t feel good by ‘cheating’ … despite the fact that I know they make big money from suckers like me.<\/p>\n

I am sure you guys are gonna try cancelling your orders next time to see if miracles happen. Hahaha. Just hope that Lomography don’t sue me for the amount of cancelled transactions then.<\/p>\n
