For those of you who are getting canceled on, around what time did you place your order?

I just ordered this. Right now it is listed at $41.99. Used first time user 20% off code: B8L8W9A - total shipped with tax was $35.61. Awesome. There is also a code for 15% off for return customers: H9D8P4R - both are good until 6/6/10

If you use the GSA link with that you can get the price down to around $30 or so.

That link sketched me out a little - especially with peoples orders getting cancelled who used it. It was worth the extra $2 to do it strait up, but for people who arent wary of that, they should try it. Either way is a super great price for this set!!!

Well...I got an update from B&N - can you believe this crap?
Dear Valued Customer,
On June 1, 2010, you placed an order on BN.COM using coupon GSA1020. Unfortunately, you placed your order after the expiration date and time listed in the coupon details. This means that the coupon code you used was not valid for the product you purchased and the discount should not have been applied.
The order has been cancelled in accordance with our coupon details.
We realize this may cause some frustration and is an inconvenience for you - we are very sorry. We are committed to providing our customers with the kind of outstanding service they expect and deserve. We hope to see you again soon at BN.COM.
Sincerely,
Barnes & Noble Customer Service
I looked at the coupon link they provided and it gave the following information:
This coupon is valid May 11th, 2010 to June 1st, 2010 at 2:59AM Eastern Standard Time.
What the hell?? What coupon ends at 2:59 in the morning??

I don't know what to believe. I called to speak with someone in CS and was told that it should not have been canceled because of the coupon, but it was canceled because they "didn't think" they would have it in stock. I told the CS that, right now as I look at the website, I can still order it for delivery in 1 to 2 weeks. "I don't know what to tell you", was the answer.

Oh My God! Those FUCKERS! I used a $25 gift card on that order and I don't have the card any more. How dare they cancel the order now and claim it's becuase I used the working coupon eight hours too late. I'm furious.

They need to get their act together.
-Website listed it at 39.99. I pre-order
-Website shoots up to 69.99.
-June 1 I do not get a shipping confirmation.
-June 2 the website says out of stock and delivery in 1-2 weeks, I call customer service, and they tell me that it was out of stock, even though I received a confirmation e-mail that my order was ready to ship on June 1st.
-They then send me an email saying that the release date had been changed, when it clearly had not been changed. I called back, and they suggest I wait for 30 days to see if my order will ship out. Their brick and mortar store had these for sale though, and I asked to cancel my current order, and do a store pickup order through them, but honoring the 39.99 i pre-ordered that. Couldn't accomodate that, either. So I told them to cancel my order, and that I was going to Amazon.
-Two hours later they're supposedly in stock again and then listed as 41.99?
Pfft.

I ordered it this morning for around $32 shipped with the new user coupon. However, given B&N's reputation and the things they've done with other people's orders, I give it a small chance of actually shipping in 2-3 weeks when they claim it will be available, but I had to try once after missing this the first time. If they cancel, besides wasting my time and getting my hopes up, I'll be mad at having wasted another email address. Well, we wouldn't be true bargain hunters if we didn't try.

Re: "Life" BR at B&N with David Attenborough - $30 shipped (most cases)
Well, it's not ideal, but since you can get it for $41.99 - 15% using coupon H9D8P4R, it came to $38 shipped for me with tax. So in the end it costs me an extra $5 + two weeks more transit time. I'm not thrilled, but at least I get to use up that gift card (that I had to dig out of the trash to use again). You can bet that this time I'm hanging onto the used gift card until I get a shipping notification.
edit : Manzana, how did you get it down to $32 shipped? Is there an active and valid 20% off coupon?

If you want more details, go to Slickdeals and search for the thread about Life BD (there are 2... look for the newer/shorter one).

FYI - $48.99 for Attenboroigh version now. $41.99 for the Oprah version. Might as well go with Amazon UK at this point. It's around $40 shipped and it is region ABC I think (a buddy of mine ordered it when I ordered planet earth and it works on his standalone us blu-ray player).

UPS just delivered my copy of Life from B&N. Thanks for all the hard work gathering the links and coupons.
