Hey...I never even received an apology note
:|

 

[ponyo]

Amazon and Sportrus just sent me this email.

"Thanks for beta testing our new Apparels department. We needed beta testers to test load capability of our servers and nothing is better than listing bogus price and seeing "Anandtech effect." We at Amazon have done this free beta testing everytime we open a new department. Thanks for free beta testing and saving us thousand of dollars of paid testing. We apologize we wasted your valuable time with this known bogus offer. We hope you come and shop at our overpriced store once again."

"BTW, thanks for your CC numbers. We now have thousands of free personal information we will sell to direct marketing companies for nice profit. Enjoy your junk mail."

It does not means that it will ship. They might just send you a cancel note then. The only way for sure is getting the boots.

 

[ianbergman]

I got my refund email and then my refund right away... except they shorted me 70c! this happen to anyone else? If so, they're gonna make a killing on this.

I was going to complain to Amazon anyway, just 'cause i'm bored, but this gives me a real reason.
