Hi,

Thanks a lot for your (date) Buckyballs order! We really appreciate your support in our battle with the CPSC.

Unfortunately we are currently out of stock of the items you ordered and therefore have cancelled your order and refunded your money. We will be getting more items in stock in the coming weeks and have created a special 50% off promo code ("BuckySaver") for you to use on your next purchase.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience and thank you in advance for continuing to be a baller in the near future.
If I go and look at https://www.getbuckyballs.com/order/buckycubes/ I can see the items I ordered. They're not listed as out of stock (while several other items are) ... although even with a 50% discount they're a lot more expensive than the $5 I ordered at.

This feels rather off if they have stock...
 
Mine shipped and I got a usps tracking number from them. I didnt order a ton of balls though, just a couple sets.

Just noticed they've shipped mine also - USPS. I can't wait.
I ordered a buncha square ones though, I figure less chance for them to roll away while playing with them.

I wish I ordered more now that I think about it.

Yeah, it's not as though I was taking liberties on the order - I ordered two of the nickel buckycubes, which came to $10, with another $10.something shipping (as I'm in the UK).

Oh well, will wait and see what reply I get to a request to reinstate the order as the items I ordered are showing in stock on the website...

Mine is still stuck in WALLINGFORD, CT 06492 since the 5th.
USPS has the worst "tracking" system I have ever seen.

Heh, mine haven't been delivered either. "Stuck" seems appropriate. I just sent Buckyballs an email, I'm not tracking this order down.
