  It was honoured! The dude said 'Wow, how'd you get it so cheap?' and I said 'I have no idea, that's why I'm down here straight away before they cancel it!'
  
  He said they got two more of the exact orders as he was serving me and just as I was leaving I saw him on the phone so maybe I got there just in time. Either way get in quick before they either catch on to it or sell out!
  
  Thanks OP! I drink 1-2 bottles of beer a week so I'm sorted for the next couple of months :)
  
  EDIT: Store was Subiaco, can't promise they'll still honour it though.

Coles is notorious for cancelling orders due to price error, and taking forever to notify. On the other hand Woolworths has been happy to honour on multiple occasionas, they are by far my preferred choice of supermarket.

    If you're close to the store, then yes it's worth a shot. I asked the store to keep my order aside as I live 30mins away, which they were fine to do. They then called back and said it's a price error and they'd refer to their call centre to issue a refund.

    Yes they can, their T&C's state errors do not have to be honoured, which the purchase is bound by:
    
    We may cancel your Order before delivery or collection in whole or in part. We may do this even if we have received payment from you or sent you a tax invoice. The circumstances in which we may cancel your order are if:
    a. any of the Goods are not available;
    b. there was any error in the description of any of the Goods in your Order or the price as advertised by us;

        If a retailer incorrectly prices one isolated product, it is likely an error. In these cases, a retailer can follow their individual store policy to address the mistake. This means that a store may or may not honour incorrectly priced items depending on their policy. Store policies are usually displayed at the cash register, or contained in terms and conditions (for online businesses).

        64 Guarantees not to be excluded etc. by contract
        
        (1) A term of a contract (including a term that is not set out in the contract but is incorporated in the contract by another term of the contract) is void to the extent that the term purports to exclude, restrict or modify, or has the effect of excluding, restricting or modifying: (a) the application of all or any of the provisions of this Division;
        
        165 Multiple pricing
        
        (1) A person commits an offence if: (a) the person, in trade or commerce, supplies goods; and (b) the goods have more than one displayed price; and (c) the supply takes place for a price that is not the lower, or lowest, of the displayed prices.

        @critterjg: Your quote from Section 64 says the ACL can't be voided by a contract, which is correct. The quote from Section 165 is also correct, however can overruled by other parts of the Act.
        
        In this case, the contract of sale would be argued by VC to be 'unfair'. Section 24 states:
        "it would cause detriment (whether financial or otherwise) to a party if it were to be applied or relied on."
        Selling a product for a loss for no apparent reason could be argued to be detrimental.
        
        Section 23 then allows for "unfair" terms to be voided.
        "(1) A term of a consumer contract or small business contract is void if: (a) the term is unfair; and (b) the contract is a standard form contract. "
        
        TLDR: No, pricing errors don't have to be honoured. You could argue it in court, but I expect it'll get thrown out.

        @critterjg: When buying this, a person and VC enter into a contract of sale. VC are entitled, under the Act, to claim the term of the sale, that is transfer of $20/case, is unfair, and should be voided. You are of course able to challenge this in court, if you so desire.
        
        "doctrine of mistake and this is overwritten by statute." is a very fancy way for saying "habit/pattern of mistake is overridden by the ACL" - not sure what you're saying here. The an Act has many sections, and some sections will override others; in this case Section 23 states an 'unfair' term voids sections of a contract. There is no debate of that. The debate is $20/case unfair?
        
        As per your comment below. To quote the gamers adage - "screenshots or it didn't happen". If your fabled professor who works for the ACCC believes this isn't right…please, send us a screenshot of those slides! Pricing errors are nearly never honoured when they're extreme, and I'd also like my 3 cases!

        @critterjg: From the same Act:
        
        (5) Despite subsection (2), a displayed price for goods that is a displayed price because it has been published in a catalogue or advertisement ceases to be a displayed price for the goods if:
        (a) the displayed price is retracted; and
        (b) the retraction is published in a manner that has at least a similar circulation or audience as the catalogue or advertisement.
        
        Now one can conclude that this is a retrospective retraction, otherwise it would simply be the setting of a new price. Second, VC can satisfy part (b) by sending out an email to purchasers advising of the error, because it can be argued that the majority of people who saw this price made a purchase.
        
        So, unfortunately, my 3 cases pale ale is not to be.

        @Dan_: I'll leave this and be sure to tell my consumer law professor who works as a principal lawyer at the ACCC that he is wrong. He covered this exact issue in a lecture a few weeks ago and should know he did it in error.

I got the collection sms, but they turned me down when I went to collect. The staff were apologetic, but assured a refund would come in next couple days. All pretty reasonable, but still annoying when they don't notify it's been cancelled before you go to collect (or even in the space of a couple hours, which I intentionally left in case a cancellation was sent).

Anyway, I sent an email saying I was disappointed by not receiving notification and the drive was a significant inconvenience blah blah. Not expecting much, just playing the game! Might get a $10 off $300 spend voucher lol
