But on Monday, Amazon sent out emails to customers who tried to pick up a free Echo Spot, informing them that their orders wouldn't be fulfilled.
"We noticed an error in an order you recently placed and wanted to make you aware of the issue. Due to a technical error, the price of the Echo Spot that you purchased on July 29, 2018 was incorrectly listed," the email read.
"Because of this error, we are unable to fulfill your Echo Spot order. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused."
