I ordered a Radeon 9700 Pro from OC Systems via PriceWatch.com. That was 7/13/03. Their confirmation page sent via email says that orders usually get shipped within three days of ordering. The shipping method is listed as "Ground UPS/FedEx" --they don't even know how they're going to ship!? Anyway, it's free shipping so I don't give a rat's ass.
I sent an email yesterday asking if there was some sort of tracking number attached to my order number because I was getting anxious. Today I received an email saying that the cards are on backorder, that they're expecting their next shipment on 7/25/03 and will process my order on that date, and that my card should be shipped just after that.
WTF
I didn't see any "in stock: NO" on the initial ordering page, or any of the others for that matter --or anything else listing it as not in stock. I checked the ordering pages again today and they STILL don't list it as back order. I didn't get an email right away the first or second day saying that it was on back order. It was when I sent them an email asking that they had the courtesy to fvcking tell me that. WTF. They are going to get a SH|TTY rating from me when the deal is over. I sent them a nice big email saying how nowhere does it say that it's on back order and dooesn't give any disclaimers anywhere that if it is on back order that they will ship as soon as possible.
Fvck. I have been waiting for this card for more than a week - and now they won't even have it until Friday. :| FVCK. Stupid companies. See, I would have been fine with it. I probably would have done business with another company if I knew they weren't in stock.
GRR
I cancelled my order.
