How did you manage that? I don't see any combo deals on this CPU


They had combos yesterday and part of today. I'm starting to think they made a mistake on their part accepting the promo code on top of the combo deal. It made almost too cheap to believe. The ECS KN1 Lite is 74.00 by itself. So, some got the CPU and board for 72.00 shipped.

How's everyone's combo orders doing? They cancelled my motherboard because it was backordered (the eVGA mATX SLI) and deducted the full amount from my invoice, and supposedly will be shipping the CPU still, for the balance. So, CPU was $99 and motherboard was $75 plus $7 shipping. Bundle price was $120, -$35 coupon code plus the $7 shipping makes it... $92. They deducted the board plus shipping (since CPU was free shipping) so they subtracted about $82 from my order, leaving me with a $10 CPU.

We'll see if I actually get it. :Q Don't have a shipping confirmation or invoice emails, just the order confirmation, CC charge confirmation and the email stating the backordered item being removed.

Back orders are usually caused by Inaccurate inventories: with thousands of individual parts, it is possible some inventory counts may be inaccurate. Also, the accuracy may be correct but our warehouse reports we cannot ship the last one or two items due to being damaged on the shelf.

To speedup your order process, we have removed these items from your order. Newegg does not accept any back orders. All back ordered items are refunded in full and will not be shipped. Your account has been credited full, including shipping, for all these deleted items.

We would like to suggest you go back to our website and place your email address on our Auto Notify listing. Once we do get more in stock an email notification will be sent to you.

Please allow 3-4 working days for this credit to show up with your Bank.

This order will be shipped, without back ordered items, in about 24-48 hours, except weekends. All deleted items will not be shipped.

thank you for your patience,

Customer Service

Not that I mind getting a $10 CPU, but I was looking forward to playing around with that motherboard. Well, I haven't received that $10 CPU yet, so we'll see if that gets cancelled too, since it was ordered yesterday and still hasn't shipped.

I think that proves they made some errors on that deal. Good for you, bad for the stockholders, or owners. I think they are privately owned.

Too funny - I was ordering the eVGA mATX SLI board / 3400+ combo a couple days back and right before I hit submit, I thought to check Anandtech.

The $35 coupon worked like a champ on the already great deal $114.98. Sweet deal - $91 and change shipped for both.

Thanks a bunch OP.
