mine got cancelled it seems. i think because my old cc is no longer valid and i guess they don't use the current one stored in the account info section?
i think i'll just stl it through amazon since it's only 4 dollars more. too bad amazon keeps dropping stl.
i have been having serious amounts of probs with all sorts of online retailers lately. it really sucks. stolen cc numbers, dropped discounts, cancelled orders, overcharges, etc.

DDD will cancel the order even if you add a working credit card to your profile. They will not apply your new credit card to an existing order. If you call them they will tell you to reorder the item(s) . Whether they would honor a previous discount I guess is up to cs rep. This is what happened to me when I cancelled a credit card which was used for preorders at DDD. I could change the credit card at Amazon but not at DDD. Overstock charges your card at time of transaction rather then when shipped so no problem with Overstock except of course who wants to be charged upfront for a preorder,

FYI, mine shipped also with the 20% discount.
Rubix - I originally had the same problem as you (had to change credit cards on the order), so I called up DDD and had them change it.
Then I called up a few days later to confirm the change (just to make sure) and I found out it was never changed - so the CSR cancelled the original order, and created a new one with the same ($33.50) discount. I even got an e-mail with the order number.
Niiyama - the same could be said about the Circuit City 9/7 thread. Like the DDD accidental pre-sale, people took advantage of it at the time. Now the deal is longer available - but people are still posting that they have/have not received their items yet. On the other hand, at the CC thread, it is continually going on - whereas here, a new one was created just to say that SW has shipped. I try to look at things from both sides.
This may be stating the obvious, but whenever an online retailer has a deal *that* good (or a mistake!), there's always a level of doubt that it will actually happen. So when it does, people post about it! And the people who didn't take advantage (or saw it too late) get annoyed. I'm not pointing at anyone directly because it happens to everyone.
Okay I'm done!

Did anyone else order La Dolce VIta during the accidental sale? I've got a temporary charge on my credit card that doesnt reflect any discount from the price on their site.

I preordered when they had the last 20%off deal so I always knew I was getting it for $33.50.
Glad to see they shipped because there shipping always takes almost 2 weeks to get to me in California.
