[dp004i]

Z560s own. Keep fighting with dell monkeys until you get them, those speakers are worth the trouble. Trust me

 

[PsychoAndy]

So is it too late to get on this deal now?

If you don't mind wait and see, try it.

Is Anandtech Forums using vBB or vBulletin or some other code? I have alot of vBB code that I want to use.

 

[Tarobap]

I ordered on Dec. 24 and they are not scheduled to ship till January 7 . . . WTF!!! :|

I don't understand how some people ordered after me but got earlier ship out dates. Oh well . . . the wait continues . . .

 

[chrisjor]

oldsmoboat........did you notice that your link showed them still in stock? Geez, I hate Dell!! I am so frustrated over this order that I actually find it funny that these boneheads are still showing stock!!! I ordered on 23..............still waiting...........

<< I am so frustrated over this order that I actually find it funny that these boneheads are still showing stock!!! >>



That's the most deceptive part....

 

[staticfly]

they haven't changed my ship date from the 2nd yet, but come tommorow im sure they will get around it it. whatever though.. as long as i get my speakers.

 

[Avarice55]

since its past dec31st, can we still use the logitech 10% off rebate thing?

 

[chrisjor]

I hope we can still use the 10% rebate....I have a form right here from a keyboard I bought earlier in the year. I an gonna assume that the receipt/invoice will be dated for the original order date. The problem I see is will the item arrive prior to the postmark date (1/31), with these guys ya never know!!!

 

[staticfly]

give um a break... we hammered um hard

orders on this item are probabaly up 1000 fold, they didn't expect it, and most likely don't have everything in stock anymore, hence the reason for the delay.

stop bitchin... its not like they are robing you or something, its just a little delay on a hot item.

 

[chrisjor]

indeed

 

[MontyBurns]

No, give US a break. Dell is an internet retailer. IT's what they do. They're also the #1 seller of PCs. I have an incredibly hard time believing that a deal posted on Anandtech produced such a hammering effect that it brought this company to its knees, and brought havoc to an otherwise solid ordering/customer service system.

The truth is that Dell has always had problems in this area. I've ordered from them many times -- both PCs and accessories -- and I have never, ever been able to accurately track the progress of my order. Their phone reps are of little help, too.

The bottom line is that they are still listing this item as "in stock" on their Web site when either (a) it isn't in stock, any they haven't updated the site, or (b) it is in stock but they somehow can't handle all the orders they've received for this item. Either way, it's unacceptable. Many of their competitors, even smaller ones, do a much better job of order tracking and customer service.

I've e-mailed them three times about my order for this bundle, and have yet to receive a response.

 

[Avarice55]

its not the delay im pissed about.. its the probabilty that they will cancel orders that pisses me off..

 

[billw]

Well, i just put in my order for 154 and change. We'll see what happens. Hopefully they will get here

 

[staticfly]

yes... if they cancel, it will be because they think were getting too good of a deal.. which is bull sh*t
sure they are the number one retailer, but we ordered and item that they probably sell very few of IMO
i've heard so much about these speakers, and hope they get them in soon. They arn't in the bussiness of losing customers, or so i hope so.

also.. the rebate from logitech (i mentioned this before)

"Buy Any one (1) Logitech product between Spetember 1, 2000, and December 31, 2001" --get 10% rebate

well.. this isn't just "one" item, its a bundle, so i doubt they will take it, anyone have any ideas?

 

[Avarice55]

does anyone konw if they will actually come? i dont mind waiting as long as they COME~!!

My ass

 

[MontyBurns]

And of course, it's still listed as "in stock" on their site.

 

[MontyBurns]

Well, take this with a grain of salt, since we keep getting conflicting info, but:

I just called, and the CSR told me that the speakers are in stock, and have been in stock, just that their have been "other" delays in getting the orders processed. He assured me that mine is indeed being shipping out tomorrow, next-day shipping.

Someone earlier posted that they WEREN'T in stock, so, who knows if this is true. I'll update tomorrow.

 

[brunell8]

Screw it. I just got off the phone with Dell and cancelled my order. There is no excuse for this piss-poor customer service. I'm going to order from Newegg. I don't need the joystick and headphones anyway.

 

[namike]

Sons of #%^$%^

I just got my e-mail saying my bundle won't be shipped until Jan 28, 2002. My original ship date was Jan 02, 2002 and I placed my order Dec 26.

I am calling right now to cancel and then ordering from New.egg.com for $160 to my door. The joystick and headphones would be sweet, but I own a nice pair of phones right now, and I don't use a joystick. I was just going to sell them. *shrug*.

Mike <--ticked off

 

[MontyBurns]

WAIT... why order from newegg? Isn't provantage cheaper by a few bucks? Their price is $134, and I think shipping is $20. They're very legit, deal with them all the time. If you're not going with Dell, I'd suggest ordering from them.

 

[Avarice55]

did you get a delay-email today? god i hate dell
