Ditto, I picked up the A7N8X the day anandtech posted the review... Let's see if this gig of ram we ordered ever comes though...

Sorry.. When I said that I got my 100 sticks, I meant it as a joke. I didn't intend on people to keep PM'ing me asking about it. Sorry. I personally doubt that we'll ever see these, but it was worth a try. Especially since Buy.com doesn't charge you until the item ships.

The real scary thing is that SOMEONE out there thought the post was funny enough quote it and just had to post that they laughed out loud.

 

[Falloutboy]

anyone receave this yet? I've had no further change too the order since the "still looking" email

 

[BG4533]

No change yet here. I really expected them to cancel this last week. I have a feeling if Buy.com actually expects to honor these orders it may be a while before they actually do so.

 

[xMeFx]

No change for me either.... this would be SOME AMAZING deal if it works out... but buy.com HAS delayed a previous order of mine before: like ~$0.80 Belkin NICs a while back.

 

[Piblokto]

Doubt it. I've had a Buy.com order opened for over a year now, for a backordered camera battery for my Nikon Coolpix 995. I still get occasional e-mails from them with the subject "Still Looking".

 

[Hosermage]

yeah... still same status for me too... "On Order".

Maybe they're just waiting for the prices of RAM to go down enough so they can fulfill the orders without taking a loss... haha.. how lame.

Common sense is a must in online shopping

I do not represent Buy.com, only myself.

Actually, that worked for that big monitor mistake at buy.com a few years ago. Went to a class action lawsuit that lasted a couple years, and they settled for mailing everyone who ordered a $50 per order check. (since I had 2 orders for it I got about $100) BUT that was before they had the stuff on the website about canceling for any reason. Plus now they say something like an order confirmation is not a confirmation of our intent to order, but only your REQUEST to order. Anyway... just my 2 cents

That's also the reason they DON'T charge you before your order ships now!

I got the same message.

 

[xMeFx]

hmm.. I contacted them asking "IF/WHEN" they think the order might be received... then they sent me the msg:

I HOPE this wasn't ONLY because I contacted them!!! What do you's think!!?

ohh-- BTW.. I ordered on 12/25 also!

So.. now, what do ppl suggest me to purchase? Crucial @ newegg? what about Kingston Valueram-- any complaints?-- that is what I run in my current systems. only it is pc100, bot DDR.. good stuff.. what do you's think?!

 

[FordLorider]

My order of 4 is still alive. I am sure they just have not got around to cancelling my order yet. I still have a prayer though!

 

[k000]

And then sometimes Buy.com sends them too. I remember couple yeasr ago... with $50 off $50 coupon Buy.com did send me my free VCR !

[codeyf]

Heh, forgot about this. Checked my order and says "On Order".

So, hasn't been cancelled yet!

 

[gkwok]

Same here, my order for 4 is still On Order. <cross fingers>

 

[vtqanh]

my order has had status "Processing" for a week!

 

[TerryMathews]

Just got a message from Buy.com that they are trying to locate supply on these. Better IMHO than Amazon.com that dismisses their mistakes out of hand.

 

[Hosermage]

Just got an update email from Buy.com...

Just a note to let you know that we are still working hard on filling your order #xxxxxxxx. We have placed an urgent order with our suppliers and are waiting on the product(s) below.


I'm not sure whether I should believe them...

 

[junkyardDawg]

I believe they are "trying" to fill my order

but will they find cas2 ddr that they can sell for $21.30? not likely

still hoping though!!
