Went ahead and ordered since my Gateway deal that was supposed to be here on the 6th hasn't even shipped yet. I called the
m up to compl
ain and the re
p said 'Oh, it looks here like it's ready to shi
p'. I said, 'Great, but it was supposed to be here on the 6th, is there a tracking #?' 'No, we won't have that for, oh, maybe 48hrs'.
Me: I'd like to go ahead and
cancel my order.
Her: OK, I wen
t ahead and put it in
but it might not get stopped in time, if you receive the p
ackage you'll have to refuse shipme
nt.
Me: Fine.
So, that was my gateway horrible shopping experience... that's not to say the rep was rude, just that they have no idea how to run a business if they thin
k they can delay shipment forever with no status to the customer.
So, I placed the order w/ amazon -$5. coupon still good...
It's not supposed to ship until the 20th and then I have 5-9 business day shipping so at the earliest I'm going to see this is Dec 3rd or 4th (since they ship from Cali and it takes the full 9 days to get here!).
If I Get the Dazzle one from Gateway I'll give it as a gift to my wifes Sister.
[edit] Received the Dazzle one today, 12/5/02, only one month after it was supposed to get here. And 15 days after I cancelled my order w/ gateway.
Fortunately the rebate is still good, so, it'll only be $20 and will be an OK gift but dayam that was awful service. [/edit]
