Hmm...

But then again, I only ordered one.

I got the same status on mine. I'm not going to call, I'm just going to see what happens, which is probably nothing.

Got the same thing and I only ordered one. I'm just gonna wait for it. If it comes, great. If not, oh well

Link beat, sku please.

Just got off the phone with them (had a previous cancelled order that they charged me the shipping cost) and she told me that the item will be shipping from microsoft directly? And that I should expect it to ship no later than August 23.
Here's to hoping!

 

[VirginiaDonkey]

must have caught their mistake.....

link says system error has occurred dammit!

 

[dabuddha]

I did get charged $7.95 for shipping :/
I wonder if I should call them and complain about the shipping charge since they're taking a month to deliver it

I've got this status:

Shipment 1 Expected Delivery: 08/23/2005 Status: Please call customer service for additional information.

The WORST part about it is, I got charged 41¢ for tax! Grand total for 5 copies = $5.41 (FREE shipping). This would be so sweet if it went through.

If they are OEM how are you planning on selling them? You have to have hardware to go with it, like on Ebay

 

[mattocs]

Sell it with an IDE ribbon or something...

Is that the politically correct version of the original "Whiny Monitor Children"?

(which I actually ordered, but didn't care after it got cancelled. )

And now we know why they have a "we aren't responsible for typos" policy (note bolded words quoted above).

" Besides, there is no way this item would be worth $1.00. "


ROFL!


If they know the item's not worth a dollar, then why not go ahead and ship peoples orders who ordered them??
