Larson sent me another pm after I aked a few questions....


"i dont know when they actually charged me. i got an order confirmation like 10mins after i placed the order. then when i got home this evening i went to walmarts website to see if anything changed and i noticed they shipped the system. so i checked my email and saw i got a shipping confirmation also.

best of luck w/ yours gets shipped now, since it seemed to work for me."

All Wal-Mart Supercenters are open 24 hours. If yours isn't a Supercenter, then you should check with them because most of those Wal-Mart's close at 9 or 10pm.

 

[TheDuce22]

Wallmarts are open 24/7. At least the ones around here are.

Dont make fun of Journey EVER!!! Steve Perry is a close family friend dont fuck with JOURNEY or he will drive the wheel to your house and roll it down.

Have faith though...

Walmart is pretty cool though about this if they are finding a way to deal with this.

 

[Mr Jared]

I would just call up your Wal-Mart and try and find out. The ones around here all close at 11pm and they're opening at 7am the next day.

So yes. Just go find out =D

 

[DMczaf]

The 24 hour Walmart thats near me said at 10pm they are handing out tickets, then at 12am they will sell the 360s. The woman also said she expects people to start waiting at 6am Monday....so... :\

 

[Matrix]

Someone on CAG posted this...

"hey guys,

after seeing this thread on friday, i jumped on it and placed an order at walmarts website. at 8:07pm (est) that evening i got a email from walmart saying that my order had been canceled... oddly enough, tonight i got another email from walmart (exactly 24hrs. later) saying that my order has been shipped. they have me the tracking number and i checked my credit card and it has been charged...

if you got a cancelation email from walmart, keep you hopes up!"

Ok they have charged my card for real earlier today,not a hold,maybe just maybe im one of the lucky few...im sad I keep checking my email and order status page :lol

better get in line right now

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

6 am!? fuck man i was going to start waiting @ best buy around 6pm or so. im going to be pissed if a bunch of fucking assholes are already lined up at that time.

 

[Matrix]

wtf another CAG member posted...

"I got a shipping confirmation at 9:07 PM EST today after ordering the premium system and U2 Rattle & Hum UMD at 11:44 AM EST 11/18. So after ordering from Best Buy and Sam's Club, it's Walmart that comes correct. Estimated time of arrival 11/24-12/1.

 

[Mr Jared]

This is nonstop DRAMA!

So I got an email from Walmart

Currently, your order XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX for "Xbox 360 Premium System is
marked as ?Intent to Cancel?. We have contacted our distributor to
notify them of your request. Since we work with our distributors to
expedite all orders for our customers as quickly as possible, there is a
possibility that your item still may ship. In the event the item ships,
please do one of the following:
1. Refuse delivery

GOOD LORD NO!

So I responded, stating as clearly as I could that I did NOT want to cancel this order and that I was calling the help line to reconfirm this. So I get someone on the phone, talk through it and I find out a few things.

1) The item is now sold-out, but when I ordered it, it was in fact not sold out. Score.
2) Mine is probably shipping on the 21st. Double-Score.
3) A note was placed in my order saying that I didn't want to cancel it. Hooray!

DRAMAAAAAAA~

 

[Matrix]

Did you send in a cancel request and thats why you got that email?

 

[Wario64]

this is so crazy :lol

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I'm on pins and needles here people. Pins and needles.

 

[Mejilan]

this is so crazy :lol

Agreed. If I actually succeed in walking into a CC or Target come Tuesday and walk out with a Premium Bundle in my hands and -$400 in my bank account... I'll come back here and laugh.

Not gloat. Just laugh. The PSP launch seemed a lot more controlled and better planned.

 

[drohne]

i just called walmart cos i was bored, and the woman on the line said that 360 units shouldn't have been available outside of bundles, and that they were cancelling all of these orders. i told her that a friend of mine already had his shipped (uh, i guess posters on CAG.com are my friends), and she couldn't account for that. she said she wouldn't do anything to my order, though, so i guess i'll see if it goes through. doesn't look like my card's been charged, so i doubt it. oh well.

 

[B'z-chan]

Man GAF knows Drama picture should be posted for this thread. I remember going into Bestbuy when the PSP came out and they had a bunch. This time i'm so not sure wth is going on.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

This is too much. I've been checking my email, the Wal-mart site, and my bank account on an hourly basis for about the last 10 hours or so. I still have the charge listed as pending on my card.

 

[Matrix]

Another CAG poster has their's ship >_<


"Yup I got the same shipping confirmation email as well. Ordered 11/18 8:30am. Time to buy games"




So has everyone had their card officially charged here? I have,so im hopeful that means im getting one *crosses fingers*

 

[drohne]

walmart is racist against gafers

something else has occurred to me: who ordered other stuff in addition to a 360 console? maybe they're shipping to people who ordered games and accessories as well, since that is where they make money.

 

[Mr Jared]

Did you send in a cancel request and thats why you got that email?

No, I never tried to cancel. That's why I was like "OMG NOOOOO~!!"

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

That thought crossed my mind earlier as well. But I quickly dismissed it becuase I WANT TO BELIEVE.

 

[Matrix]

wtf :|

Im never going to quit looking at my emails.

As for the ordering with extra stuff,well some of those people didnt and it was shipped.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

I've been checking my tracking info at walmart.com non-stop.

I've been checking my tracking info at walmart.com non-stop.

You mean your order status page? Cause I too keep doing that,wtf is wrong with me,i'm letting a game system rule my life right now.

Am I the only one who hasnt called CS reps here? I havent wanted to jinx my order or get in a fight with someone and have it flat out canceled.

 

[mashoutposse]

I doubt anything is going to ship overnight.

Yet I keep checking anyway

These are shipping through UPS. Do they accept packages during the weekend?

 

[hyp]

6 am!? fuck man i was going to start waiting @ best buy around 6pm or so. im going to be pissed if a bunch of fucking assholes are already lined up at that time.

:lol i'm probably going to be one of those assholes. come join the asshole club with me!

 

[mashoutposse]

It's Walmart; I wouldn't be surprised if UPS worked with them on Sundays.

 

[B'z-chan]

Hell i had a USPS package dellivered to me on a Sunday ONCE. A FREAKING SUNDAY.

And yes UPS does pick up on Saturday till 3pm in most towns. Or how else would flowers get to girlfriends around teh country with UPS?

Just go to sleep. That's what I'm gonna do.

 

[mashoutposse]

Called; the lady said they don't ship on Sundays.

 

[Snaku]

That settles that. Wait...call back and see if you get a different answer. :lol That seems to be standard walmart.com protocol.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

This is intense. Everytime I check my mail and see I have a new message I become anxious.

Really, the CSRs know nothing. They're not in the warehouse, they're not in billing, they can't do shit. They just log into your account and tell you what's on your screen.

The only alternative is to try to talk to a supervisor... and get your order inadvertently cancelled.

 

[Matrix]

That still doesnt mean they wont send out emails with intent to cancel,im actually more worried about that now :lol

Yeah, that was pretty much the deal when I worked for homedepot.com. Don't ever order from them btw. Their system is so ass backwards it's amazing that even 5% of the people that do business there actually ever get what they ordered.

 

[snacknuts]

I just got home, checked to see if my Wal-Mart order from Friday morning had been cancelled yet, and instead I find an email from them saying it has shipped. Says it will arrive between 11/24 and 12/1.

EDIT: I've got a FedEx tracking number for it, but it doesn't look like they've picked it up yet.

Did you just order the 360 and nothing else?

 

[snacknuts]

Did you just order the 360 and nothing else?

Yep.

 

[Blaster1X]

Yep.

I just ordered the 360, no other accessories.

No cancel emails still processing.

 

[Wario64]
