Hot: Altec Lansing ADA880 Speakers -- $23.47 shipped!

[rx8]

hmm...ok then. did u ppl who ordered the ada880 also order other stuff with it? i ordered the belkin usb nic together with my ada880. :disgust:trying to figure out why i'm not getting my 2nd confirmation

i ordered on the 12th at 9:30am est.
i hope i get mine...

i hope it's not the nic that's keeping those speakers on hold.

 

[alkemyst]

aphexII: you write like that guy trying to sell 100 of these on ebay and posted the apology....

You should get a grammar / spell checker. Even on your website there are glaring misspellings.

Your order must have been on hold because most of NIC orders have been delayed.

<< WOOHOO! My order shipped! just in time for Christmas. thank you Dell! hope you all get yours! Gonna hook this puppy up to my DVD player. w00t. >>



Ragedope, when did you order yours? Have you checked to see if the tracking number is up on the UPS site yet?

 

[Tangerine]

Hey guys,
I've ordered several things from Dell. They assign you a customer number for Home purchases, and another customer number for Business side purchases. Try plugging your customer number in where it says multiple order status, search by customer number. Link
I hope that helps

From ragedope:

WOOHOO! My order shipped! just in time for Christmas. thank you Dell! hope you all get yours! Gonna hook this puppy up to my DVD player. w00t.

you're stupid.

Welp, I got sick and tired of everyone trying to rip Dell off, so I called up one of their CSRs, and informed them of the situation. They said that they were aware of the pricing error, and that they were fixing it. They told me that they're also in the process of cancelling all orders that went through, and all future orders. I also brought up the NICs for $.95, and the lady said they're handling that also. The CSR lady was so kind as to thank me for informing them of their errors! I feel like a saint. Merry Christmas!

After making comments like these on this forum and other forums I am glad to see you took part in the ripping off of Dell. I am also glad you wish us well in getting ours now that you got yours. Wait till Daddy finds out you stole his credit card to buy computer speakers I hope he pulls out the belt. But considering your comments I am sure that hasn't happened yet and probably never will.

for those of you not getting a confirmation email when they ship did you "register" your order on the check order status page?

do that and THEN they are supposed to email you when it ships. I just did that so I hope it works

 

[BooGoo]

Here is the reason why you are not receiving your second email straight from the CSR:

They are backed up due to excessive orders.

Give them additional time to straighten this out as I too am waiting for my second email confirmation. Calling and bugging them right now will get you nowhere right now.

alkemyst: first off i dont care. second off, who are you to tell me about my spelling, third off i dont care
why dont you just mind yer own business and stick to the topic?

I just ordered these from Provantage for $132 plus $26 shipping and they came 2 days after i ordered them, i ordered em because all of you were saying dell wont have them in stock for 2 months.

Provantage was really fast. I didnt open them up yet, can any of you tell me how easy this will be to put a couple of these smaller speakers up on the wall so i can have a surround sound effect???

thanks

You ordered these or the Logitech Z560's? Does Provantage sell these? also, check this manual for setup

Alkemyst, do you mind? SOME of us could do without reading about your fantasies. It's comments like that that prove you're a Junior Member no matter HOW many posts you have.

<< to those ppl who haven't gotten the 2nd confirmation email...did u guys already have a home account and used that same info on the small business section? i did this too and am one of those ppl who didn't get the 2nd email yet. did we need to make another account? >>


That's what I did- but I don't think we need to create another account. I just ordered a dell desktop for my dad through small business and everything came OK...

 

[JETninja]

In Production!

 

[Theophilus]

alkemyst - you are one sick puppy. Grow up.

 

[igowerf]

<< In Production! >>



Mine are In Production too. Does that mean that they're getting ready to ship?

 

[Pothead]

Mods, give alkemyst a time-out

 

[aphex]

alkemyst: wow... dude, you got some SERIOUS problems...

 

[alkemyst]

oh jesus...sorry to the pocket protector / eyeglass tape crowd...it was a JOKE, something like you would hear on non-AM radio.

sorry children and the overly grownups too.

TechManager,

<< to those ppl who haven't gotten the 2nd confirmation email...did u guys already have a home account and used that same info on the small business section? i did this too and am one of those ppl who didn't get the 2nd email yet. did we need to make another account? >>

No, I used the same info, I just had to add a business name when asked for one.
I got both emails within minutes of each other. About 15 minutes after I placed the order.

 

[ohbehave]

OK I am totally confused by how a Fortune 500 company can have such a crappy ordering and inventory system.

I too have yet to receive my 2nd e-mail, but get this....I told my friend about this deal, he ordered 30 minutes after me and he received his 2nd e-mail almost 24 hours ago.

We both did not have any accounts with Dell and ordered through the small business section, the only difference is that he ordered after me and he already has his 2nd e-mail !!!!!!! )(@*%$)(#$*%!)(#

Maybe because people like us exploit their pricing mistakes and flood their systems?

 

[ohbehave]

Read the thread. This was not a pricing mistake so get off your high horse.

I'm STILL waiting for 2nd email (Order Confirmation) from order placed 12/12/01 8:45am.
This order included 2 sets of speakers and some other things. I'm getting worried.

I called in an order 12/13 for one set of the ADA880's and the CSR gave me order number and is scheduled
to be shipped on 12/26. So, where in the hell is my other order??

I did get 2nd email and expected ship date on my NIC card order.
I also called CSR last night to see if they showed my "missing" order on my account and I was told, "NO".
I told the guy that I received the acknowledgment email but not the confirmation email.
He told me "If you didn't receive the confirmation email, then the order was not placed".
Personally, I think this guy was a moron! I explained that, if I received an order acknowledgment,
then I obviously PLACED the order. I kept going back and forth with this guy, but he obviously wasn't
getting it. I said what are you supposed to do, place an order, wait 2 days, and if you don't receive confirmation,
re-order again?!? WTF??! Michael Dell obviosly hires the cream of the crop! Then he says give it another 48 hours and see
if I receive a confirmation email (on the order that he said I "didn't" place) - if I don't, I could re-order.
I can't re-order because the item is no longer available on the site. He was absolutely NO help!
He also said they have had server problems for about 1.5 weeks - which is probably just an excuse
whenever they lose orders. Pretty ironic that a computer dealer would have server problems!!
