It depends. You have a choice of grouping the items together as 1 shipment or ship them as they become available. However, it does cost more if you ship them seperately (about $11-12 more)

hmm... but both of these items are free shipping...

yea I know but when I switch between sending them together or seperately, the price jumps from 36+ to 47+..

And do they really send these seperately even thou you opt to have them sent together? Cuz that would be even better! I didn't know they did that.

That has been my experience with ordering from Amazon lately...even with the free shipping. They send you the order confirmation and then send a shipping confirmation that says "we shipped this portion of your order separately to give you quicker service...". Works for me. ;)

Nice...you're right. Always good to get rid of superfluous software.

Does anyone know what the customer service phone number is for amazon?

I cant find it anywhere on the site. I really wonder whats going on. My order is suppose to have 60 dollars in gift certs when I did the final submission but somehow I got my email confirmation stating only 30 dollars of gift cert. This is how it looks

Order summary:

Shipping Method:
FREE Super Saver Shipping (5-9 business days)
Shipping Preference:
Group my items into as few shipments as possible.
Subtotal of Items:
$97.98
Shipping & Handling:
$7.16
Promotional Certificates:
-$37.16

------
Total for this Order:
$67.98


But the interesting thing is this,

Purchasing information:
E-mail Address: XXXXXXX@hotmail.com
Billing Address:
XXXX X XXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Shipping Address:
XXXXXXXX

<B> Purchase Grand Total: $ 37.98 </B>

And now, my order status only shows one 30 dollars GC and the GRAND TOTAL is 67.98.

Urghh, this is getting on my nerve. I am wondering whether the other 30 will be credited to my Credit Card bill or what?

Tot, the number for Amazon's customer service is 800-201-7575. I ran into the same problem as you tonight, except my $30 credit card discount didn't show up at all, only the $30 off coupon. I think I'm going to send them an email tomorrow. I called tonight, and the woman I talked to sounded like she didn't know what she was doing, and said the GC was showing up on my account. However, it wasn't there when I went online to check afterwards. I've had good experiences with Amazon's email-based customer service in the past, though, so I think I'm going to give them a try and see if they can sort this whole mess out.

Thanks for the number,

But I think I might hold off calling them or contacting them for this matter. As I read the fine prints for using GC, it says that you cant combine more then one promotional GC. In anycase, if the Credit card bill says otherwise regarding the charge I would most likely cancel my WC3:TFT and hopefully get the mx700 for 3X.XX dollars. Or maybe I can dispute with credit card company? I have the final check out saved as well as the email that stated a Grand total of 37.98.


Later,

Personally I hate the cordless elite duo. I'd wait for the MX duo to come out. For $66 this is ok, but I am hoping I can find the MX duo in the future for a cheap cheap price. And by that time I would get the W3:TFT for what ever price it is.

Looks like a lot of people are running into this problem.

According to the email they sent me they said that I did indeed qualify and to just email them back once my shipment shipped for a credit back to my credit card. Dunno why they don't fix it now, but oh well. =P

Dom

So just email customer service.

Yea the MX duo has the MX700 and the wireless keyboard, hopefully some deal comes out where that combo will fall to like <$20.

Yes it works. Dammit, ok sorry for being abusive. But it works alright.

Here is an my email reply


Thank you for writing to us at Amazon.com.
I've investigated your order and found that it qualified for our $30
promotional offer only after the item, "Warcraft 3 Expansion: The
Frozen Throne" was cancelled off of the order.

Also, please note that some of our promotions are restricted to one
certificate per customer, and some require a minimum purchase.I'd
recommend reading the "fine print" or visiting the link included on
your promotional certificate for the specific restrictions associated
with the offer you received.
Some promotional offers may not be combined with other offers in the
same order. If you have received any promotional certificates from
us via e-mail, you may use only one per purchase, although this may
be combined with other promotional discounts found on our web site.
For this reason, only one promotional gift certificate will appear
on the order form for each order you place.



Best regards,
Erica Rosavelasquez
Amazon.com Customer Service

Schweet, ordered on Friday w/ the Visa GC and just got notification from Amazon that my MX700 was shipped today. It was $37.14 after the two GC's and some nickel GC's I got from answering Amazon's questions. Gonna sell the game for ~$30 and I should have a MX700 for under $10 w/ no rebate hassles. Thanks for the deal!

FYI for anyone still considering this deal the price on the mouse has been raised from $63.50 to $64.99. I doubt $1.50 will affect many people's decisions but I just thought I'd point it out.

I ordered them with the free Super Saver Shipping, and set them to ship together at the same time. My mouse shipped separately today for free. :)

Mine still says "Not Yet Shipped: 2 items - delivery estimate: July 1 - July 3 "

and I placed order a week ago... :( Still crossing my fingers for it to change.

I'm in the beta for that expansion, I'm waiting for some little whining baby to come in here and post "don't waste ur money, its gunna sukc". Bottom line is: if you liked the original at all, there's a 99% you'll like the expansion because it really fixes so many problems that classic had, and opens new elements nicely. Definitely a nice combo with a great mouse.
