The only thing that made this a good deal was the price. 75$ for something from china is a rip.

I called up Amazon and after the CSR consulted with the supervisor for what seemed like an ETERNITY, they decided they'll honor the confirmation email price ($25) if I forward them the email. Sounds easy enough... Now the promo GC, that's another story...

Got the same email today saying that it shipped... this is total crap, I am going to dispute this charge on my credit card... how can they just magically up the price that you agreed to pay?

@$$HOLES!!!

OMG! This is too funny. I called them up about this right, first time *click* somebody hangs up after I was on hold and I had to call and wait again. Then I get this girl who is really nice and I had to forward my conf email to them so they could verify my claim of $25. But just as I do, this alarm goes off in the background and she's like "Sir, the fire alarm just went off, we'll email you back in 1-2 business days."

Heres the contact phone numbers for all that may need them...... Amazon customer Service 1-800-201-7575 FAX 206-266-2950

I would call on the original Email price and get the reps name and fax the Email to them . Than they can't say they never recived it.... That would be grounds for a Legal Issue.............

Well sure enough the charge hit hit my card today I made the call to Amazon and the customer service rep said they are getting a lot of calls about this "promotion" and there is now a special "group" handling this. They will get back to me in one to two days.
Anybody else get this song and dance? or should I call back to a different rep?

I called yesterday and got the same rap. They had over 12,000 orders for the knives.

I just got email saying the order has been shipped. Still sez $19.99. Sounds good to me.

12K orders, I believe it. No wonder shipping is a little slow.....

got an email from customer support apologizing for overcharging and saying that they will credit the 49.99 back to me . Finally they are doing right and saving me the time to complain to my credit card company. Now to open the package and check out the knives.

Supposedly they will "automatically" send you the $40 GC on this. I imagine in a few weeks we'll all have to harass them to get the GC.

I gave one set of the Knives to a friend of mine, and kept the other. They aren't bad knives for steak knives. But what do you want for free/cheap?

I called up AMAZON and they said that all they can do now since it was such a big incident is refer my information to the team handling it and then they can do something. What bullsh!t
