KEMOSABI! JUMP ON IT! JUMP ON IT! JUMP ON IT!

 

[Crag Dweller]

Yesterday I got the cancellation email, today I get the shipping notification. Damn this is weird.

Same here. Except I got the cancellation email friday.

 

[DMczaf]

They sold out again...people paid $400 for the shipping?!

 

[JohnnyKorea]

So, I ordered one, too, along with all the other hopefuls, and received a cancellation email on Friday afternoon. So, fast forward to today, Sunday morning, and I've suddenly received an "order shipped" email from Wal-mart.com!

Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[BruceWayne]

Wow you're the only one I have read about that got away with that :lol Every post about someone ordering two,well they got their orders cancelled.

I created seperate accounts to do it.


Anyway now for the real question on everyone's mind. When will it arrive??
Everyones had to choose standard shippng method right?

Any chance it'd be here before Thanksgiving?


And what do with my second walmart 360 and Circuit City bundle(minus the two games I got to remove at end of checkout )

Nope, happened to no one else, ignore all of the other posts saying exactly the same thing you did

Yeah, pretty much anyone that got a cancellation email.

 

[Matrix]

I hope this isn't some kind of automated computer malfunction.. We may all get a cancel notice come monday.

Well if its some automated computer malfunction it would have no control over charging me and I have been charged the full amount.

 

[jedimike]

I also got my shipped confirmation. Very impressed with the way WalMart and MS have handled this. 90% of the time, internet deals like this are cancelled. I also think that things must be going pretty good with 360 manufacturing and there should be at least one or two more shipments before Xmas.

 

[vatstep]

I just checked the board for the first time since yesterday and saw that there were like 150 new posts on this thread. I was fearing that could only mean mass cancellations, but it turns out they're shipping the things. :lol

Fuck yeah! I'm glad for you guys. Walmart FTW!

 

[Blaster1X]

Yeah, they've recieved the paper work and have assigned a tracking number. APX probably doesn't opperate on weekends, so they haven't actually gone to Walmart's warehouse to pick up the packages yet. They'll probaby actually ship out on Monday.

There will be a lot of sad people come monday..

 

[Snaku]

There will be a lot of sad people come monday..

Cause they haven't actually shipped yet?

 

[Blaster1X]

Correct Sir.

 

[Snaku]

Correct Sir.

Heh, well it wasn't even really known if they'd ship out at all. I'm happy with just knowing that it's coming.

 

[Matrix]

No way were they going to ship this weekend,we should be happy that manifests went out.

 

[Blaster1X]

What good is that if there nothing to pick-up from walmart warehouse do to the automated computer error walmart claim is happening.

 

[KarishBHR]

Woa... it says it will cost 400 dollars shipping, subtotal of 800!

Obviously a mistake.

Can I order this now and get it Tuesday?!?!?

 

[Uncle Dukey]

According to what some have been told over the phone, they are sold out. For some reason, they can't set the correct status on the item... so they put the 400$ shipping to discourage buyers.

 

[Matrix]

Who claimed this error? I have only seen you talking about it? Did you call a CS rep :lol

 

[Prince of Space]

$400 for shipping? Fuck that -- I'll take my chances elsewhere.

 

[kiun]

What good is that if there nothing to pick-up from walmart warehouse do to the automated computer error walmart claim is happening.

I have a sick feeling that this might be the case. I hope not though..

 

[Matrix]

If that ends up being the case thats beyond fucked up and I'LL SUE WHOOOOOO!

Also if its auto generated why do some people have UPS or Fed Ex insead of APX? It also wouldnt explain why the billing department charged some of us the full amount and also some of us never got cancel emails.

Ive only seen Blaster mention this and I believe he brought it up on the Team Xbox forums,Blaster again did you speak to a CS rep? Cause we all know how dumb they have been or are you being paranoid like I was yesterday?

 

[COCKLES]

Perhaps it was the 360 demo pods screwing with Walmart's ordering system. :lol

 

[kiun]

Guess we'll know tomorrow.

I have an APX tracking number, a confirmation email, and my card has been charged for the full amount. I doubt seriously that all 3 of those events would have happened if there was a computer glitch.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

not to put a damper on your moods but i think i remember something like that happening to me @ ebgames.com. can't remember the details (it was a few years ago), but i placed an order, got a tracking #, and then they didn't have it in stock or something and sent it out a week later.

hopefully you guys get yours though. although im jealous, i want all my madden and GAF chums to get in on the action!

 

[Unison]

Damn wireless controllers!

Yea it makes no sense,plus some people didnt even get it shipped APX,so did the computer system just decide "hey you get UPS instead of APX" and then billing department went "hey lets take the money anyway and then turn around and cancel on some people for a 2nd time " :lol I think they gave everyone certain shipping based on location or if it was coming from a certain wharehouse.

It just too insane to think that walmart.com couldnt just cancel everyones orders and call it a day.

 

[Mr Jared]

I'm feeling very confident about this. Not only did I get the automated "Your order has been shipped" email, but I also got an actual human response (I was going back and forth with help@walmart.com) reconfirming this.

Tomorrow, I expect to wake up to the full amount finally showing up as charged in my bank account as opposed to just mysteriously missing money.

To celebrate this grand day, I went out and found a copy of Project Gotham Racing 3.

If I get screwed now, I'll listen to some Linkin Park and cut myself. But~ I really don't see either of these events happening.

Yeah, it does happen. With all the orders walmart got hammered with I wouldn't be surprise.

You're bringing everyone down,now I know how annoying I was yesterday :lol

 

[Blaster1X]

I'm just putting everything in perspective.. You on the other hand were being paranoid.

 

[Matrix]

Also not everyone has had their orders shipped,from CAG forum...

"To those of you who ordered from Wal-Mart and have received shipping notices, did any of you receive your order confirmation e-mail after 12:30pm EST? Although I received the canceled e-mail, mine still says processing. I really don't wanna camp a Wal-Mart."

 

[Matrix]

I'm just putting everything in perspective.. Yyou on the other hand were being paranoid.

Yea I was paranoid that they would cancel orders and didnt want to talk to a CS rep and fuck my order up again,sorta like how you're acting now minus the calling the CS rep :|

You might be putting things in perspective but you're the only one saying this who has gotten a shipping email,so that would make you paranoid like me lastnight.

Thats just paper work. Tomorrow we'll see what's really up.

In honor of War of the Worlds ($15.88 at Wal-Mart on Tuesday....)

Hey i'm the same way at this point,like i said Im sick of this whole launch already,I know I'll eventually get one.My biggest thing has always been how rude the CS reps have been to me in the past and how stupid walmart.com is sometimes.

Even if we get these you have to admit they have handled things shitty.

Maybe you dont get paranoid and you might be putting things in perspective,but its a downer like I was doing lastnight...thats all.

Dealing with the Wal-Mart CS Reps/Managers makes me think of a poster I once saw in my psychiatrist's office.....

Yeah, but you have to imagine how many gamers are calling walmarts CS reps every second asking for statues up date when they could check themselves... CS reps dont know anymore than what's on your status page. I know its their job to help and be nice... but when the same person calls every hour asking the same question something is bound to happen...

If your feelings got hurt just call walmarts consumer support and report the CS rep.

 

[shoplifter]

If your feelings got hurt just call walmarts consumer support and report the CS rep.

You can always ask to be escalated to supervisor if you don't feel that you're getting anywhere with a floor rep. Supervisors will generally do a lot more in the way of research and information getting than your typical $10/hr floor agent.

 

[Matrix]

HAHA my feelings didnt get hurt,I told the bitch to fuck off.I did promise myself I wouldnt deal with walmart.com again,but you would have to be an idiot to not try this deal if it was right in front of your face.

I'm smart enough to not call,like you said,it makes them question things and sometimes they catch mistakes cause people dont stop bothering them.I havent even emailed them cause honestly if I get it I get it and if I dont I dont.

The most annoying thing is seeing people trying to order/call up still about the $400 shipping and if they can get the shipping downgraded.

 

[snacknuts]

The FedEx tracking for my package has now posted and is in their system. Makin' progress! Actually, it shows the estimated delivery as 11/22.

 

[Mr Jared]

Interesting ~ What did WalMart say your estimated delivery time was originally? Most of ours is 11/24 - 12/01.

I just checked my APX shipment. It's still just jabbering about manifest stuff which I don't understand anyways.

 

[snacknuts]

My order status page on Wal-Mart's site still says my est. delivery date is 11/24 - 12/1, but on the FedEx tracking page it says estimated delivery is 11/22. Since it doesn't look like they have actually picked the item up yet, I expect that to change since I doubt I'll get it overnight via FedEx Ground (I just did the standard $12.95 shipping when I placed my order). We'll see, though; hope for the best, plan for the worst.

 

[vatstep]

Interesting ~ What did WalMart say your estimated delivery time was originally? Most of ours is 11/24 - 12/01.

I ordered one of the bundles that was available a couple of months ago, and last week my status updated to indicate an arrival date of between 11/23 and 11/30. Yet, my 360 has already shipped and will arrive 11/22. Their estimated arrival dates for pre-order items seem to be based purely on the release date. The system estimates these arrival dates by assuming that the items will be shipped ON the day of release, but in most cases, the orders are shipped early. Mine was shipped last Thursday.

 

[Price Drop]

Pretty confident that orders with the shipped status will go through. There's no way that everyone would receive actual tracking numbers from USPS and FedEx in addition to have the amount held on their CCs.

They might have thought about cancelling all orders, which explains the emails, but then decided to fulfill them.

 

[Snookie]

My tracking number shows USPS. Oh god they are slow.
