Re: Crazy box set deals at bn.com
Just got off the phone with a CSR about my canceled TMNT, here's what they said, it sounded like he was reading it off a piece of paper:
The offer was for a limited time and was based on a first come first serve basis. We sold through that amount and the price has been raised since. We cannot sell you that item for the original price currently due to the limited nature of the sale.
What a load of BS. I should've argued but what a bunch of crooks, I don't want to deal with them. This is definitely a scam.

Re: Crazy box set deals at bn.com
After a quick jump on before heading to bed, I saw this and checked on my orders. Ocean's Trilogy is still good (for now) and That's Entertainment had been cancelled. I took a quick look at B&N and saw That's Entertainment on their site, available at the same price that I purchased it yesterday. I didn't even bother with the coupon this time - price is too low to mess with right now, and for what, a dollar or so. Tossed it in the cart and checked out again. Two can play at this game.

What the fuck do you expect? Hundreds of people are calling about orders that were canceled, I'm sure. Do you really expect them to have that many Customer Service Representatives on hand?

Re: Crazy box set deals at bn.com
I called customer service about my missing gift card money. Was told it takes up to 24 hours for the money to go back into the gift card. It better or they can expect an angry call from me again tomorrow.
Also I went ahead and placed a new order for Austin Powers since I didn't believe the BS I was getting. Since they canceled it I decided to add Life, Oceans Eleven, and That's Entertainment boxes to my new order even though I don't want them. I may give them away as presents if they ship.

Funny, but according to my new order, Austin Powers is scheduled to ship on Wednesday... the same day as my canceled order.

Yep, I got it too (for Austin Powers). But now the expected ship date says it won't ship until December 13 (where before it was November 24) but I can no longer cancel the order. Not complaining especially if it does ship...

I honestly don't know why people are reordering, they clearly know they aren't going to fill them.
I want everyone who bitches about coupon abuse during the Criterion sale to remember this next June, and about how people are abusing and defrauding this 'wonderful' company.

I ordered Batman and Austin Powers at around 9am yesterday morning. Got a shipping date of 12-13-10, so far as of 10PM tonight not cancel notice. Here's hoping.

I reordered AP and Life. I'm not crossing my fingers though. If I didn't get such amazing deals on Criterion, I'd probably be really pissed.

Re: Crazy box set deals at bn.com
Eh, I'm not even concerned really that I'm not getting them. Saying I won't shop at B&N again is asinine, i'm glad so many won't be shopping next time there are great deals, leaves more for this guy!

I'm actually shocked that my Gone with the Wind is shipping tommorow morning. My Austin Powers/Oceans sets have not been cancelled but I'm sure that will come within a few hours.

Re: Crazy box set deals at bn.com
Hmmmm...I got shipping notices for both "Austin Powers" and "That's Entertainment" for Dec. 13th.
We'll see.
I really don't care when I get them, but I think they should at least honor their prices or mistake and make it right.

So in turn, I honestly don't know why some people have to get prissy about these things.

Re: Crazy box set deals at bn.com
My expected date for austin powers is 11/24. Lets hope it ships but lets be honest, people should not bitch if it doesnt ship, they could be price mistakes, that's the chance we took. If it ships then awesome if not then meh.
