A Redditor posted on the r/Corsair subreddit, complaining that the company cancelled their $3,499 pre-built PC order on New Year's Day, only to discover that the unit had been raised to $4,299 the following day. Senior_Ball_9068 said on the post, “I believe that they cancelled my order exactly because they raised the price.” This is a massive $700 price hike, especially at a time when memory prices are hitting record highs, leading to significant disappointment for users.
Thankfully, a Community Captain took notice and messaged the user to get their order number and get to the bottom of things. According to u/CorsairLucky, “The order was flagged by our fraud detection system and was canceled as a result. On January 1st, our Holiday Deals promo pricing ended, and the normal pricing was reinstated. But we’ll be getting OP taken care of!”
