For any inconvenience caused, affected customers will receive a voucher worth SR1,710, equal to the difference between the wrongly advertised and actual prices. The error was quickly corrected and apologies were made to customers via phone and email. According to the company's e-commerce terms and conditions, which customers accept electronically when making an online purchase, eXtra has the right to cancel orders in the event of any error in the price or if the quantity is unavailable.
