Awhile ago I preordered LOTR:ROTK EE from Coconuts.com, but now I found it somewhere cheaper (B&N 10off coupon)....So I sent them and email asking them to cancel the preorder with this response:

"Thank you for contacting coconuts.com.

Whats the deal with this? This is my first time ordering from Coconuts.....but every other place I have ever shopped allowed me to cancel preorders.....have any you had success with being able to cancel from them?

i also got that notice last night

Thanks for moving the thread, sorry if it was in the wrong place, this is one of the main forums that I post it thats why I put here.

no problem..next time try to put it in the appropriate place ..

Now THAT is just a load of BS!

Here is their cancellation policy:
Go into your order summary and select "Cancel Item".

I cancelled a pre-ordered item months in advance. If they decide to ship it to me I will be disputing it with my CC.

I think the CSR is clueless. Typical FYE.com BS. They have no idea what's going on.

Ever pre-ordered with Buy.com?

I pre-ordered ROTK EE when it was available for $19.99 and cancelled it a few days later. I will refuse the item if it is shipped.

See one of the reasons I cancelled was because it didnt even show up in the orders section.....their site sucks.

Since there is no orders under my account, i have no idea what the status is, etc. It doesnt even give me an option to cancel since there is no order listed under order status.

I ended up going in and changing all my billing/shipping information to all gibberish so they would not be able to hopefully process my credit card.

So at least I am not the only having this problem......
