Traffic CC has been cancelled:


There's been a change to the status of your order.
The product you ordered is no longer available and the order has been canceled
I don't believe their claim that Traffic CC "is no longer available." An outright lie. They just don't want to take the loss. :(

At least my $7.50 copy of Showgirls shipped, even though my order is now only one DVD.

Ali and Traffic were cancelled for me. I think I still have showgirls and Stand by me coming.

Xerogod 01-19-05 08:50 AM

Basic shipped. Traffic was canceled. :( I really wanted that movie, too.

Shagrath 01-19-05 08:52 AM

My Traffic was cancelled as well. As some people have had their shipped, is there any way we can call customer service and let them know they have shipped some, and that we shouldn't be denied?

flee 01-19-05 08:54 AM

and stand by me has been cancelled as well. Oh great I get showgirls, which will probably never get opened. FU best buy

Picked up Showgirls and Rudy DE, A Knight's Tale SB has shipped.

No news on Hoosiers and my Traffic Criterion has been cancelled.

Showgirls is actually a decent box set for 7.50, I have never seen the movie, I may change my opinion if I ever do so.

Obviously. At any rate, this was more like a price mistake than an actual deal anyway, so I'm not really too disappointed.

bralph 01-19-05 09:08 AM

My entire order of: Knights Tale: SB, Traffic: CC, Stand By Me: SE, and Hoosiers: SE was cancelled. It must have just happened, because I looked at it first thing this morning, and it was still listed as Backordered/Preordered.

Kevin Phillips 01-19-05 09:12 AM

My Traffic was cancelled.

At least I'm getting Showgirls boxed-edition in mail.

Sweet Baby James 01-19-05 09:18 AM

Hoosiers cancelled.:( Oh well, I'll just get it through Columbia House in June for less money.:)

rock72 01-19-05 09:32 AM

Traffic canceled but Rudy has shipped.

X 01-19-05 09:38 AM

Perfect!

Showgirls shipped and Traffic, which I already had, was cancelled. I was afraid they would ship the non-CC Traffic anyway and I would either have to keep it or return both due to it being a "2 for" deal.

As I mentioned way back in this thread, Best Buy does not honor misprices anymore when they have a chance to stop them. They stopped honoring them over a year ago.

my order of 2 Traffic CC cancelled, if a business makes a mistake, it's their job to honor it, they changed the offerings on the site when they noticed the mistake, but to not honor orders that they accepted is not good business.

eisenreich 01-19-05 09:44 AM

More cancellations here: Traffic & Hoosiers. Oh well, wasn't really expecting these to go through anyway

Adrenaline 01-19-05 09:52 AM

I got a cancelation email for Traffic as well

Dah-Dee 01-19-05 09:54 AM

On my order for Hoosiers and Stand By Me, Hoosiers was cancelled. Stand By Me still shows as a pre-order. Strange.

sumdeus 01-19-05 09:58 AM

I got Rudy CE yesterday via in-store pickup. Traffic CC was backordered and now has been cancelled. So, it looks like all of the backordered Traffic CCs are being cancelled. I really wanted that one...

volfrank 01-19-05 10:04 AM

Yup, my Hoosiers & Traffic cancelled as well

lCraZyaZnl 01-19-05 10:06 AM

Hoosiers now cancelled for me too.

ctyankee 01-19-05 10:07 AM

Yep. Looks like all pre-orders are toast. It's fine to be disappointed but blaming BB for this ??? ... we all knew that Hoosiers was a pricing goof ... it's not like they owe us anything.

It looks like they caught on to this in two stages. First they wised up and changed the eligibility. Then it looks like they realized just how many orders still got through and .... when they realized they needed to actual order *more* from the distributor pouring good money after bad, they just decided to cancel orders that they did initially accept.

It would be interesting to know just how many copies of Traffic got ordered ... ;)

cardaway 01-19-05 10:07 AM

Traffic, Ali, and Hoosiers cancelled for me. I called myself and cancelled the legit remaining items.

dollfins1 01-19-05 10:08 AM

We all should file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about them reneging on a sale contract.
