Yeah..I was searching for Street fighter vol 1.

I cant find that anywhere.

Hrmm I wonder what I am going to get sent.

Eric D. 10-31-05 03:08 PM

It's only $8. So I'll just wait and see what happens.

Yeah, they had to be quick to catch the forklift guy so he doesn't ship you product THAT DOESN'T EXIST YET.
Wow..I've only ordered a couple times from Overstock [Tomorrow People price mistake, and a comforter set], and have not had any problems, but I'm going to be very wary of them in future, not just due to people's various problem stories [and I know negative stories are easier told than positive stories], but just the half-assed, random, PITA way they seem to run their business.

I'm going to wait and see what happens. If they try to pull anything I will not be happy camper. The good thing about this state is the Attorney General Darrell McGraw has nothing to do, and thus takes up issues like this.

Well, at least they still have the "Overstock.com girl". :drool: :drool: :drool:

I agree. It's only $8. If they ship you the real boxset, then you got yourself a great bargain. If they ship you something else, you can return it and they ought to refund shipping cost since it's an incorrect product according to their standard return policy but you have to pay to ship it back, I think. At most, you are out a couple of bucks.

In any case, KEEP your order confirmation email, which lists the correct product that you ordered.

I'll probably wait and see what happens too.

Glad I checked my print of the confirm page , it printed and left the price off so at 6am this morning , I reprinted it in landscape mode :)

Eric F 10-31-05 04:13 PM

Bahaha! I called it in the Anime thread. (Not that I didn't place my order too;))

Still, as others state, I'm willing to wait it out. I printed the receipt with the "Evangelion" listing, so if they want to play this game with their customers, Overstock has the potential to be out thousands of dollars in sales.

raidersrule86 10-31-05 04:17 PM

I called CS, and the lady told me all she could to was tell the warehouse she talked to me and I should get an e-mail soon saying if they will give me the item. I didn't print out the confirmation with the price (why isn't the price in the email confirmation?), but at least I have the e-mail confirmation to prove I ordered it.

plaidspeed 10-31-05 04:52 PM

Like most everyone else, my order had changed to "Street Fighter", so I called Overstock as well hoping to stick it to them and get the Neon Genesis set.

However, as soon as I said my piece to the CSR, she mentioned that my order was, in fact, Neon Genesis. Aghast that she wasn't skirting the issue, I refreshed my order status online at their site to find that it was true -- it had reverted back.

It seems as though the title might have changed (to simply "Neon Genesis Evangelion", foregoing the whole box set details title), but the item number is the same (10083223). Funnily enough, they've finally corrected the price and title of the item on their website (http://www.overstock.com/?page=profr...od_id=1715303).

So who knows? Maybe they've actually bitten the bullet...

raidersrule86 10-31-05 04:57 PM

Ah ha! Mine has changed back to the Evangelion set as well! I guess they will be shipping it, and I'm paying the $6, that's what it said when I ordered it so that's what I'm paying.

Knives 10-31-05 05:00 PM

Stop calling them and ruining the deal!

raidersrule86 10-31-05 05:05 PM

What deal?

It's listed at $85 now, if that's a deal to you, go for it.

or sell your order to someone who likes to gamble

sailor_moon 10-31-05 05:09 PM

So I ordered one set and it's not showing up in my Order Status at all, I only see my previous orders from them. I did get the confirmation email though. Anyone else have this happen? And, what do I do about it?

Brent L 10-31-05 05:11 PM

*head explodes*

I need a certain .GIF right about now.

Ravager61 10-31-05 05:13 PM

I just checked my order status on their page and mine still says that its Neon Genesis. I guess I got lucky.

cgray 10-31-05 05:23 PM

mine has changed back, too. no SF for me, thanks.

lemieux66c 10-31-05 05:45 PM

This keeps getting more and more confusing.

Eric D. 10-31-05 05:49 PM

Mine changed too. See, it may pay to wait it out!

fidodido 10-31-05 05:50 PM

Mine changed back to Neon Genesis as well. Maybe someone at Overstock figures if they altered it, it would get everyone to cancel their orders. So, by temporarily messing with our heads, they managed to get 25% of you to cancel your orders. :)

raidersrule86 10-31-05 06:00 PM

Yeah, that's a good thought. I'm keeping my preorder until release day.

justbarelymovin 10-31-05 06:10 PM

Excellent news. I'm just going to keep mine as is. I saw the Street Fighter talk, but I figured, it's not TOO much, so it would be better to just wait it out. And that's what I'm going to do. I'll worry about it later if things get really shady. Thanks for the update!

mine also changed back to that so i just called them to make sure it's the 7 dvd set and they said it is the same item and they were just having problems with their website earlier, so i guess lets see what happens.
