I've had the same problems theslug has been having with calling in, but when I do get somone all they say is

"We were suppose to get some in today, but we didn't... but we might yet, so call back later. We should have some in tomorrow."

I call the next day...
"We were suppose to get some in today, but we didn't... but we might yet, so call back later. Your best bet is to call on Monday, there is a pretty good chance we will have some in by then."

and all the while, on their website, the processor is listed as in stock...

*sigh*

I feel the same way Wanderlust does... It's understandable that the processors are backordered (AMD was having some problems) and maybe hard for them to tell when they'll have enough to fill their orders, but why:

1) Keep it listed as in-stock on their website
2) Charge me for it when it hasn't shipped yet
3) Tell me it's been shipped (along with the other items I ordered) on my order status page?
4) Give me absolutely no notice of the back-order (no email, anything..). I only knew once I got my package from ZZF (which was suppose to have the proc shipped with it, according to my order status) and saw no processor.... hrm.

5) Give a phony tracking number which has no details on UPS' page, and then surprise you with a new one when it actually does ship.

Oh yeah I almost forgot Zip also had shipped a letter with my CPU saying thanks for being patient on waiting with your backOrder, blah blah for your
inconvenience We gave you a free t-shirt,Oh Yip EEE a free t-shirt after all that time wating and checking there fake tracking number everyday for two weeks.At that,the t-shirt has there old Store name on it Google Gear Not ZipZF,Of course there gonna give them away,,ha ha

I know I'am bashing ZZF,Even though I'll probaly be ordering something from them later this week,But it was Pretty sneaky of them to do business the way did with thoose 3500 CPU's

I think there was something going on with zzf not updating status rather than a blatent attempt at not having something in stock. They actually did change status I just think they took forever to change it. ExtremeGear shows it in stock, and as I said, tells you that they have it like that because they're expecting it at some point with no ETA.

ImageRoc... I got the same thing... heh It would have been a nice thought had it been a zzf shirt and not an old shirt they were trying to get rid of and rather than toss it, they used it as packing material... LOL

Not set it up yet... I plan on doing that today. I had a fantasy football draft tonight that got in the way of me being a geek. heh

ExtreameGear did not get their 3500+ shipment on the 27th and now are saying the 10th of September for my order. I don't recommend anyone use them.

Back when zzf was googlegear I had a problem with them shipping me modified memory from what was specified in my order and then charging 20% restocking fee to RMA. Would still say zzf better than ExtreameGear.
