I called them this morning and explained that I thought it wrong that orders placed later, for an identical product with a higher price, were processed -- while mine and others, at the lower price, were cancelled. They told me to place another order, this time for the $202.99 price, and they'd refund the difference once I received the unit. I received a comment tracking number to verify this, and I re-ordered with Amex, which has been very good to me when I've had problems with vendors in the past, and who I feel I can rely upon to reverse a charge should ubid change their minds. My only question now is if ubid will coveniently run out again.
If there's anyone in New York City or New York State who has had their order cancelled, I'm considering contacting the attorney general's office or some other agency to file a complaint. I live in NYC, and others have posted that it's being shipped from Brooklyn -- so I think that places the transaction firmly within their jurisdiction. I'm not sure how far I'm willing to take this (I suppose it depends on if I receive it or not, how many people were screwed, and if the AG's office even cares), but if you PM me with your contact information, I'll give you any info I get from the AG's office (and it'll be good for me to be able to say to him/her "I've got at least a dozen other people who are ready to file a complaint as well!").
Additionally, if someone who has received theirs could PM me with the complete return address from the box, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
