Dammit, the suspense is killing me! Cancel them already.

No kidding! I was ordering one of these this morning, made up my mind sitting in traffic that I should go ahead and complete the new build below (this is the last component)... logged on to AT first and saw this post and got my order through before the corrections. Now I am sitting here waiting to see if I should pull the trigger and get one from the Egg or ZZF for $322.00 before I leave the office! I am tempted to call PC Direct but I just know that would get it cancelled for sure!

*sigh* Hope is a powerful emotion. hehe

*goes back to twiddling thumbs and waiting patiently*

Even at like, 100 people thats a loss of $10,000
That's pretty huge

I thought about it but decided to hold off since the orders will probably get cancelled anyway. They probably received far more orders than the number of chips they have in stock.

You guys will at least get a coupon and if you're really lucky get the proc.

I hope the status will change sometime TODAY

:brokenheart:

my status is now review. I was going to sell this to my not-so-bright brother-in-law for way-too-much $$. Now my plans are swirling toward the taller grass in the back yard.

Why? You are just postponing the enevitable. There is NO WAY that they are taking tens of thousands of dollars in the shorts because of a pricing error. Quote me on this "NONE OF YOU WILL BE GETTING THIS DEAL!"

 

[Tu13erhead]

I suppose now that the deal is dead it doesn't matter. In general, though, calling is shunned upon.

So if it is "inevitable" that we aren't getting in on the deal, why do you need to call them? Just consider it dead and forget about it my friend.

I'm guessing he was referring to one of us who hasn't had their order approved nor cancelled yet, not those who didn't get in on the deal.

I'm still waiting to see what happens with my order.

Anyone else get a hold on their credit card yet? I did but there is one for the invoice price, and another for $1.20 from them also? So they put a hold on my credit card and had my order for an entire business day already, if they aint gonna ship it, I wish they would just cancel the dang things already.

I've gotten a hold on my credit card (or at least I assume so - my available credit is down by about the right amount, but my credit card company doesn't show transactions on the website for 2 days or so :frown:[/i])

Yeah, this is annoying. I'm tempted to call them.

 

[Sean84]

the 1.xx is to verify your card before they charge it,
authorizing/holding is instant, releasing the hold takes a few days

if you dont want to wait, cancel the order yourself

 

[thefamoustraders]

They instantly hit my card and I received a receipt for the purchase. I'm in for the waiting game if I have ANY chance of getting the CPU, but the more reseller reviews I read, the more doubtful I become.


A couple of quotes from the reviews :

12/2/04 6:58 PM
Placed an order. On their website, it said processing, after a week, I called them as the status was still processing. They said it was already sent out, and delivered. Obviously, I never received the package, at that point they were with the attitude, we sent it out, not our problem go call usps.

12/1/04 12:47 PM
LOWSY seller!!!! had my money for three business days and did not bother emailing me to tell me that they could'nt fill the order,I had to call them!!!!!!!
Then they tell me it would be at least three more days before the could recredit my credit card!!!!!!!! BAD sellers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8/29/03 1:05 PM
I waited 2 weeks to have my item shipped then i called and it still wasnt shipped. That is not very good business




Im just worried I'll be waiting forever......the endless night before christmas.... they are obviously aware of the pricing issue but no one has reported an order cancellation or any company contact....will it ever happen or will they just hold our money until we call and ask for it back?

/cry

hehe...I know..I know.....I asked for it...I hate/love the wait

 

[swamyg1]

Man, those reviews kind of scare me... I saw a 9.1 or so out of 10 on reseller ratings and thought that was pretty good. I'll hang in there for a lil bit before I start getting freaked out...

I got my order in earlier today (when there were only 4 replies to this thread). I've been waiting all day long. Hmmmmmmm.

 

[FlasHBurN]

Those reviews are all pretty old though. I am really surprised they haven't cancelled them yet.

 

[michal1980]

ya this sucks that they haven't done anything yet, no email, no cancelation, no were sorry will gibe u 10% off the regular price (at cost then)

 

[Xpage]

You haven't missed out on anything yet... These orders might not go through and they are "under review".

 

[cw42]

my guess is that theyll be cancelled since they didnt ship today.

 

[harpy82]

one whole day 'under review'.... ii doubt it will get thru... unless they wish to gain a little respect and fames.....
