Hrm, after it shipped on Friday through USPS, I thought I was safe, but now I'm not so sure anymore. There's been no movement in the tracking info at all and it still says "Package has left seller facility and is in transit to carrier". Man, I got in super early too.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Hot damn, just delivered! Thing is a lot smaller than I expected.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Damn, I think I'm getting boned. It's been changed to:

Delayed
Your package is still on the way, but we expect it to arrive later than expected. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I'm thinking it got intercepted after it shipped. Anyone else have theirs shipped only to get intercepted?

Yes, mine. But Amazon was the carrier so it was probably easy to intercept.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

OP told y'all to overnight it

just saying

and for the people asking what to do with it, we have an Alexa thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1398745

Meh not sure it would be worth the cost to overnight it. As someone who already owns a Dot I'm kind of happier with the $5 credit I got instead. I forgot I had the thing when I first saw this thread.

 

[Ashhong]

So salty. Both of my co-workers that I told the deal got theirs, but mine got I tercepted after shipping. Fml

 

[DogDude]

Got cancelled but took the 5 bucks and put it towards Mario x Rabbids. Not all bad news I guess

Looks like mine might have been as well. It still hasn’t been picked up by usps even though it claims it’s arriving today.

 

[Draper]

Damn, I think mine were intercepted, although it still says it's planned for later this evening.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Mine still says delivering by 8pm today, but there is no status updates other than from friday night when it says "Package has left seller facility and is in transit to carrier". I'm betting it got snagged.

This happened to my friends it didn't update but she got it in the mail yesterday.

 

[RootCause]

Just got mine.

 

[SheHateMe]

Just got mine.

Just got mine, too.

It's interesting, I'll say that.

 

[GK86]

Received mine.

Thanks again OP for the heads up.

 

[Spacebar]

Just got an alert that my echo dot has shipped! Should be here tomorrow.

 

[diablos991]

two day shipping pulled through and now my Dots are already set up around the house.

I'm eagerly awaiting Amazon's implementation of mesh. I want these things to be able to put music or daily reports throughout the house instead of on a single Dot/Echo.

 

[JettDash]

Holy shit, I just got mine.

 

[charpunk]

Not looking good here. Still no movement on this tracking number when it's supposed to be here today.

 

[LowParry]

Mine arrived today as well. Guess I got super lucky.

I never even got a tracking number but still got them.

I got the Dot but then also got the free $5 credit but complained because the credit got applied to a subscription I had automatically and so the woman gave me another $5

Just a warning I'm going to bitch, but people like you ruin good customer service.

Seriously. That's shameful.

 

[Alastor3]

Since the Echo dot speaker is really poor, what speaker should I buy to complement the Dot, to listen to music that doesn't cost much?

 

[Krakatoa]

Got mine.

Btw they are awesome for helping kids with their homework.

 

[Alastor3]

😃😃

damn are you willing to sell one XD ?

Greedy ass.

 

[msdstc]

sucks mine was supposed to arrive tonight, but just never came. Gonna go ahead and assume it's marked undeliverable.

[LostMyNarbles]

The speaker in this thing is a lot better than I expected for something so small. Music sounds great on it and also the microphone range is really good.

 

[sixteen-bit]

😃😃

lucky!

Speaker is a million times better than I expected.

Greedy ass.

That’s just their service. I just expected her to let me know that the credit wouldn’t be lost if I cancelled the subscription.

I didn’t ask her for anything. I told her the credit got applied to a subscription that ships in a couple weeks so I will probably cancel it because I wouldn’t have used that credit on it but wanted to know if I would lose the credit. She said she could fix it and came back saying she added a $5 credit.

I wasn’t exploiting them further on purpose lol. Only ordered one Dot

 

[Ashhong]

Why are you fuckers posting pictures of the damn box.

Bastards.

edit: So mine was shipped last night, then changed to "refused delivery" an hour later, and I never even got a 5$ email. I spoke to Amazon right now, and her first question was "would you like a refund or replacement" so I asked for a replacement and now it's coming on Wednesday!

 

[Arttemis]

Mine was shipped today with an original arrival date for Wednesday, but the tracking said it's been moved to an earlier arrival time for Tuesday!

I'm freaking hyped! Already looking at buying a new thermostat, smart bulbs, and these z-wave outlet sockets to install behind my wall switches to upgrade my fans.

That's crazy!

 

[Poppy]

i got rekt but at least i got FIVE BUCKS

 

[LuciusAxelrod]

So I got my Echo Dot successfully delivered AND they sent me an email saying my order was cancelled and they were giving me $5 credit. Should I do something about this?

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

😃😃

yooo...hook a gaffer up (me) please? lol

Do what?

 

[LuciusAxelrod]

Do what?

Maybe contact customer service? I was okay with getting the free Echo Dot but taking the extra $5 seems a bit scummy.

That's cool of you, but I don't think it'll kill them

What are you proposing you do?

You got a free $5 and the echo dot, if you're feeling guilty donate $5 to the Little Sisters of the Poor or something.

 

[GK86]

Knowing Amazon, they will probably give you an extra $5 for the inconvenience.

Good idea.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Mine was supposed to arrive today, but now it says between now and tuesday. I am still pessimistic that it is going to get intercepted lol.

 

[Arttemis]

Whew, it seems the white dot slipped though their net! It was originally shared to arrive Wednesday, then Tuesday, and it's already out for delivery on a UPS truck in my town! They cancelled the black one I ordered, though.

 

[Lifeline]

😃😃

What's your secret? How did they not get cancelled lol

 

[Karamsoul]

Got mine.

Btw they are awesome for helping kids with their homework.

Exactly why I ordered mine. Plus using it as an intercom with our main Echo downstairs to call the kids down for dinner. Very handy.
