Why So Blu?

I don't know if they can actually retroactively charge your account this late in the game now. The cc company holds the pending transaction in "limbo" for 3 days or so and if it doesn't get processed by the 3rd day then it comes off. I'm sure all the CC companies and money facilitators like paypal have different policies but I don't think they can do it if a lot of time has passed after the fact.

Right...it dropped of for me. But eventually TCM is going to balance their books and see that they shipped out X number of units, and didn't charge anybody. They'll most likely charge us when that happens, if they have the record somewhere.

It all depends on the company they use for credit card processing. I remember working at a small computer company that had had a lot of turnover and one of my jobs was to find all the people who got shipped things but were never charged. It was never anything more than a year out but I did get some nasty phone calls after finally charging some of those people.

ntnon

I'm sure they will... hopefully they get the right steely customer service person, and not one cowed by recent complaints...

(And apologies - should have been a "present company (presumably) excepted" caveat there! )

ntnon

There could also be liability issues, since theoretically they'll have all the payment details from when the order was placed, so even if the hold has lapsed they could just run them again... but with extra security these days after hacking scandals, they may decide (or be required) to delete information after a certain amount of time (or immediately after charging it). Could be sticky.

This Twitter guy still makes the Blu-ray.com weirdos look reasonable by comparison.

He's updated his "about me." Apparently he's a consumer rights advocate now.

Count me in as somebody that had a mystery box from TCM show in his mailbox despite their canceling of my order. Now should they figure out they shipped my order after all, since they cancelled it, I would expect at least a heads up that they are going to resubmit my order and charge me. And then I can make sure it's just the price error cost vs. the full price of the set.

But if I was to guess, I suspect those that received them despite the cancellations got them at 100% off.

And all that said, If anybody is interested in the digibook release of the first movie, and the copies of the II and III from this set, I'll have them posted in the for trade area. I already had those three long before receiving by gift box from TCM.

I continue to check my mail daily...and nothing.

I'll probably be checking it daily for the rest of my life.

I still have a pending charge on my credit card, even though my order was canceled. That shit better fall off soon.

dex14

Yea... that should have fallen off by now...

Ringmaster

What was your shipping option? I chose the cheapest ($4.99). I'm curious because if you chose the same then I want to get myself worked up about scoring a box set too.

Cardsfan111

I got a box in the mail today. I'm serious when I say I had a certain giddiness over the possibility that it just might be that I received the set as well.

Then I recalled winning something on ebay a few days ago.

hdnmickey

I chose the cheapest option. It came via US Mail vs. the many that had them come via UPS.

Now I'm wondering if I'll get the Marvel - Agents of Shield BD I ordered at the same time that also got "cancelled". hmmmm...

I still have a pending charge on my card from 9/22 from these assholes. I guess it's not really hurting anything since it's not actually a charge, it's just annoying to see under my activity when I log in. If it doesn't drop off in the next couple weeks, I'll buzz them to see if they can get it removed.

Why So Blu?

No charge on mine.

My Other Self

Mine just dropped off yesterday.

rbrown498

Dear lord. I hope that you're talking about the pending charge.

Finally it's gone

Just an FYI, it looks like they automatically store your credit card in your account. You have to log in and go under account settings to remove it.

ntnon

It sounds like they actually shipped out their entire stock on several/all the mispriced items before cancelling everything that then became backordered. So for all the complaints elsewhere about cancellations (and not getting something-for-nothing), they probably will still take a big hit over this.



I presume the inevitable losses are unlinked to the news that Turner Media is laying off staff......

My Other Self

How they determined what to ship still doesn't make sense. I placed my order well before it hit SD and Blu-ray.com and I still got canceled, whereas dex14 got his and Why So Blu? still received one of his items.

PhantomStranger

Much of their fulfillment process is handled by a third-party company. They had little control over certain items getting filled once an order was placed.

ntnon

That sounds right. Maybe geographic factors, too...?

hdnmickey

Exactly. I their process run like the others I have seen, orders at the distribution center get automatically released to the floor when there is stock and the other factors (geography, carrier, etc.) have been met. So they probably all shipped until the actual shipping hold came from TCM. Which was obviously separate from the order cancellation process.
