DEAD DEAL

Yeah, at like 11:30 or so it was still showing. Damn today would be the day that I had a lunch appointment. Now it comes up with product not found...bs.

newphatdaddy: Thanks for the reply, I had 20 in the cart then made it 21 and it would not show free shipping. Then I had to leave. O'well. Thanks for the help though.

did anyone that ordered get a cancel notice yet?

 

[johto]

not me... crossing my fingers... they shipped those belkin NICs, so you never know

 

[SolderSucker]

I ordered 19 and a friend of mine ordered 19. We both got an e-mail after our initial confirmation e-mail indicating both our orders were under review. Never had an order under review before from Dell so I don't how this will turn out.

For all of you guys who got your order cancelled, did you by chance happen to get a 15% off coupon in place of that? These coupons are pretty nice as they are stackable with dollar off coupons.

Just checked my order at Dell.com and found my order been pushed back to 01/28/02.

You want a length of cable just over 4 feet or a whopping few hairs over 8 feet.

They canceled orders (or at least mine) and sent out a 15% off software and peripherals code.

I dont need anything but this code is most likely not unique, if anyone needs it PM me.

Dear Dell Customer:

Thank you for choosing Dell for your recent software and accessories
purchase. We regret to inform you that due to an error on our web site, the
product price for Dell part number 544434, Belkin Cable was incorrect. As a
result, all peripherals orders that were affected by this issue have been
cancelled.

Mine just got cancelled also. Strange that we got cancelled but the $0.01 NIC
card that was mispriced just got delayed and has to be reconfirmed.

Here someone at Dell, Momir_Radosavljevic@exchange.dell.com, who has been attempting to explain Dell position on the wholesale cancellation of the 16 packs of Belkins 3 ft cables.

Dear Mr. X:
Yes you are correct. The cables were drastically under priced due to a "typo"error. Many other people are exhasparated too, because they thought they had found a clearance bargain or,something similar. While Dell can not be expected to honor honest mistakes (some of which could prove ruinous), we will make a good faith effort to satisfy our customers. As a result we are offering this merchandise at 15% less than we originally hoped to sell it for. We can also offer you free shipping, to lessen any dissapointment you may be feeling. I would be happy to re-place the order for you,
Thank you;
M.R.

I would suggest to anyone who is unhappy with Dell's business practices, just send M.R. an email.
