i just tried the order by phone feature and it didn't give me a shipping price at all nor does it even mention a seperate price for shipping. anyone have any ideas on this? is there shipping or not? if so, how much? i might get this kjust to fill up empty pci slots on my comp with useless stuff. lol

 

[Shifter25]

can anyone find out how much they charge for shipping? this is definitely a hot deal if shipping isn't too high.

 

[Mr.Mike]

I too didn't get a shipping price but I ordered 2 on a web certificate. If shipping is more than $10 the charge won't go through and no loss here. It looks like the cards run about $40-$70 elseware!

 

[dealio]

I just ordered one through their online checkout. I received a receipt by email with a $6.00 total but it also says "Shipping charges may be added to your order". I will probably call them in the morning to find out how much the shipping will cost.

 

[heat23]

dam i shouldnt have ordered without knowing shipping price...
watch it be $60

Sorry - double post

If you click on the picture at the firesale.com website -- the picture is named 404. It seems to me this would be the 404 Model then.

From the hauppage.com website:

Model 404 -- WinTV with mono audio and remote control

Although in the firesale.com description there is no mention of a remote control.

ecount or webcert. put in a reasonable s/h cost in your opinion.

 

[abcbooze]

where can I get a webcert?

 

[Wag]

Well, I used my CC. They are an authorized CNet retailer so I have some recourse if they pull a fast one.

What I'm curious of is if it's legal for them to add shipping charges later? I have a receipt that says "Total $6.00". But then it says "shipping charges may be added later". Can they do that?

Something about this seems unkosher.

 

[CarpeDeo]

This really seems like a typo to me. $60.00 sounds more appropriate. I wonder if they'll just end up cancelling all of them . . .or even charging $60 to our credit cards!!! Webcertificate sounds nice right about now.

 

[SuperRob]

Well, I'm in for one. If they try to charge mee too much for shipping, I'll just reverse the charges.

 

[Unclemo]

Thanks! I got two... now waiting for the email cancellation....

There has been some conjecture on fatwallet that this page indicates there are only 20-odd units available for sale.

 

[WhiteMouse]

It says the condition is New/Open Box

They should not charge full price ($50 maybe?) for Open Box stuff even if it's never used (how do we know?).

 

[RobK]

Called their 877-number

S-O-L-D O-U-T!

 

[Possum]

Wow, glad I refreshed this thread just now - I was about to order. Thanks for the update RobK!

 

[SUOrangeman]

I ordered earlier this morning. Hopefully it will pan out for the better. Worst case, the orders are cancelled.

-SUO

 

[Unclemo]

RobK, so did they say that it was actually $6 and not an error?
