I look at the confirmation page, and OMG!!!! I put the wrong expiration date for my credit card. Can you believe that!? I about died!

So I looked up their customer service phone number right away and called them up. I finally get someone on the phone after like 3 minutes on hold (what kind of service is that!?). This is the convo:

Her: Hi, how can I help you?
me: umm..hi. Umm..i just placed an order on the website, and i realized after i got the confirmation page that i had put the wrong expiration date for me credit card.
Her: can i have your sales order number?
Me: sure. (gave the number to her)
her: ok...and your name?
Me: (said my name)
Her: ok..i'll go ahead and cancel the order and submit the correct information. Everything will work out fine.
Me: OMG! Thank you! That's it!? I don't have to write a letter or fax something or give you my ssn + driver's license number + address + etc??? WOW!
Her: ok...um thanks for choosing Newegg. goodbye.
Me: Thank you! BYE!!!

SO as you can see, it was almost a crisis. but now i will get my wireless network card on Tuesday like i had hoped.

PHEW!

Yeah, I put the wrong date at first too I THINK, but I'm not posititve. It saved my old data (which is correct, I just ordered from there) but the email said the exp date was 1/04. Anyway, 7 charges later and I'm still here

AFAIK the order will not go through untill correct credit card data is applied. I once forgot to change the expire date, and it just said the info was invalid, and when I corrected it everything was fine.

So um what wireless network card had a so uber deal on it that you ordered from the egg?
:confused:
3 minute hold time? Did you clock it? Customer perception of hold time is generally 3x to 1. I'm guessing one minute.
:D
