Dear Valued CompSource Customer,



Thank you for your CompSource order. Unfortunately, the item you ordered was incorrectly priced due to data corruption. You have not been charged and your order has been canceled. If you would still like to order the product please click the link below to see the correct pricing. Again we do apologize for this inconvenience. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Electronica Direct = Compusource???

According to one of the reviews on reseller ratings... it was Compusource or Compuplus or some equally crappy retailer.

Mine is still merely 'queued for processing'. I put in my order at about 1PM EST.

same here, got in on this deal yesterday morning. paid with paypal, and money has been taken from my account. some people on FW & SD reckon nvidia have reduced the price on the GTX260 to combat the 4850. i personally think it's a price mistake and will be cancelled.

looking on reseller ratings, people do mention it can take them 2 days before they'll ship an item

I ordered through their regular checkout system and still hasn't posted after a day but yeah as other people have echoed, their support usually fixes it, it is just the 7 day wait that is annoying.

So far so good. Emailed support and was informed my item should ship today or tomorrow. Nothing about any cancellations, but you know how support can be sometimes.

Well, mine was 'in queue to be processed' yesterday and this morning, but now it is 'being processed'. Supposedly they'll email me with the status once it's processed.

No cancellations, yet.

:thumbsup: Same here, so far so good . I don't know why I am buying all these vid cards lately, 3 8800gt's, a 9800gtx, now this. Anyone else having video card withdrawal? I don't know why my file server needed an 8800GT. More cards in the last year than the last 10. Hopefully this will be my last vidcard purchase for the year, 6 months at least.

Well there is delivery intercept....UPS has it as an option for sure, I'm sure FedEx has something similar. It was enacted on a price mistake recently with UPS guys going back to houses and taking delivered boxes off doorsteps. Forgot what the item was, maybe Dell or one of the more obscure PC parts vendors.

Anyways, hopefully this doesn't happen, certainly an amazing deal if it goes through. Good luck all! :thumbsup:

Anyone have any updates on their shipping status? Mine still says my order has been processed and I am waiting for my tracking #. No signs of shipment as of yet.

I had it shipped to an address different from my billing address, and was contacted about it. I haven't received a response from that reply yet.

Yeah, I will hit 48 hours after my order was processed at 1:00PM Central so I am not feeling too good about this. Will be making a call once I get back from my class this afternoon. I will let you guys know what they say about it.

Ok, well, I just got off the phone with a nice lady from their customer support, and was told that they 'had an inventory problem, where the part was oversold' and that I would receive an update (presumably via email) 'within an hour' which would include information regarding the resolution to the issue and details as to when the part would ship. It didn't sound very dire, but I've been wrong before.

Since yesterday morning, my order has been: 'Your order is currently being processed. We will email you with the status of your order.'

I have received no further communications as of yet.

Hopefull the resolutions is not "We can no longer order this product for 177.88, but we can offer the part to you for 275.00. Please contact us if you want to proceed with this order at the new price. If no contact is made we will cancel your order"
Mistakes happen, but if it took 2-3 days to come to this point that's pretty lame especially when the nerds.net offered the price yesterday and already started shipping them out.
Oh well, you win some and loose some.

I'm sure they had hundreds of orders over what they had in stock, so I'm thinking cancellation or the higher price offer.

Then we'll see this poor company get ripped on RR for no reason at all.
