Question:

In early January, Andrew, a computer dealer, circulated a flyer to local businesses by post and e-mail. The flyer advertised a new computer designed for business use priced £2,000 and stated that “any orders notified by the end of January will be met at the special discount price of £1,500”. However, later that month Andrew realised this discount was too generous and on January 20th posted a letter to the same businesses informing them that the discount price was no longer available. Unfortunately, a mistake at the local sorting office resulted in these letters being delivered on February 2nd.

Betty wanted a computer for £1500 and posted her order on January 30th. On Wednesday January 31st, Colin telephoned Andrew in the afternoon to place his order but no-one answered the phone – Andrew observes half-day closing on Wednesday.  Colin noticed a fax number on Andrew’s letterhead and sent an order by fax that was received subsequently on Andrew’s fax machine at 4pm. Edith sent an e-mail order on the 31st January, at 20.14, which was only received by Andrew’s computer at 02:23am the following day. The next day when Andrew opened his shop he found Betty’s letter in his letter box, Colin’s message on his fax machine, and Edith’s e-mail order.

Is Andrew obliged to supply a £1,500 computer to Betty, Colin and Edith?
