Once again the bargain has been ATE (AnandTech Effect).
I called before (see my post above) on the 27th and got the run around.
Today I called at 14:50 EST, spoke to Pete at 15:10, "product backordered, check w/ warehouse" "warehouse says it's shipping today". Pete could not understand why I wanted a receipt with "purchase date" on it.
Called at ~15:20 spoke to Jason he checked said it showed as on backorder. He also INSISTED that I did not need a separate receipt, and that they never give one out and implied all of you saying that they got one are liars (THAT was JASON at 1-800-961-9261).
Was going to call Toshiba fulfillment center, but they are open later.
Called at 16:22, spoke to Charlena at 16:37, initially to ask how often the web page is updated. She checked the warehouse, tells me that they are no longer carrying that model and my order will NOT be shipped. I tell her Pete told me it was shipping.
Spoke to the manager, she basically tell me that even though it was shipping it was not in stock, and my camera won't or might not ship.
