just to let people know about my experience with this purchase.
i bought the 4x drive online on sunday afternoon. unfortunately for me, i typed in one number wrong on my address. by wed, i had realized my mistake and called officemax to correct the address. they told me they would contact the shipper and correct the problem. i think i called again on friday and sunday. then i called on monday, tues, and finally tonight (wed) to check on my package. As of now, they can't tell me what is going on with my order. i was told that it would be cancelled and i would have to order again, that it would be shipped out with an overnight delivery, that i could pick it up in the store, and several other things.
the biggest thing that bothers me about all this is that they went through with the order even though my shipping address and billing address are different and the shiping address wasn't listed with my credit card company. they said on the phone that it was the responsibility of the user to type in the correct address, which i understand, but what if the "user" is just some guy that has my cc number and my billing address. i don't know, like maybe every place i've ever ordered from. i know the cc company will protect me and all but it seems like such a pain in the butt to deal with that mess.
also, ups actually delivered one of the boxes to an old address from two years ago. the only reason i got that one was because the lady at my old house was nice enough to drive it up to the officemax close by.
i think i've called six times now and they still have not changed to my correct address. i guess they will be spending more money to ship it to the wrong address again. who knows.
may have a 40 pack of discs up for sale soon if these people can't figure out how to change a 4 to a 5. damn caffiene and my nerves.
rant over.
