Just called and was told the shipping and handling is $1899.95 next day and $1249.95 ground. Asked why so expensive, answer: The monitors are coming thru a special channel, and the price is so low so they have to charge a special handling fee. Duh, I cancelled my order. :)

Bah, usually once every hour or two is often enough to participate in the late night errors/exceptions.

Did anyone who ordered get an email confirmation telling the shipping charge? Any company that would charge almost $2000 for "shipping" isn't one I want to deal with.

Ill be on the lookout for shipping charges. If they charged 200 for shipping each monitor its still a deal and a money maker. If shipping is higher than that, lets just say Ill call my CC company and have them deny payment!

no shipping was listed

their shipping is done by weight, and 23lbs is $50 FedEx ground.

their options, in order of preference (and inverse of likelyhood)

send us $2200 monitors for $800
offer us the screens at their cost
cancel orders and say sorry
cancel the orders with no apology
cancel orders and leave the charge on our cards for a while

i'll take the first three, the second two will send me to resellerratings.com

I got 2nd day shipping to see if there is any chance these will go out. Thanks to those who got screen shots, I forgot about that part. I do have printouts of all my invoices. I got two. One on each order.

Well I was able to order one, but if it doesn't come, it doesn't come. Hopefully they'll just be honest about it and say it was a mistake if that's the case.
