Nobody updates anything in production in a middle of business day, unless it is a reaction to something bad occurring. Might be some security thing...

every company does. gone were the days when the changes were pushed out only @ perceived offline and/or middle of night and/or weekends.

 

name the top line e-commerce sites changes are pushed every day. sometimes multiple times per day.

 

looks like they were not prepared for what happened . it took them more than 4 hours to actually reroute traffic to a landing page/bring the web-server up. that's pathetic ops

Well my rookie mistake cost me an SSD last night. Placed my first LEGO Shop at Home home order ever for an SSD, I live in Canada, ordered it through US LEGO Shop at Home and put a freight company for my shipping address. Everything went through fine and dandy then I get an email today saying my residential address doesn't match the shipping address. Call customer service to place my order through them. So I did that about 2hrs after receiving the email (was at work). The cs basically said since the shipping/residential didn't match the order it is automatically canceled and the set goes to the next person in line. She also broke my heart saying that is the last of them... EVER! Man I hope she's wrong! Soooooooo pissed at myself!!! Lesson learned.

Why would you send to the US?

At 10% exchange $400 becomes $440

Assuming you pay some retail tax (I'll use 8%), brings up you to $475

And unless your choice is to sneak it across the border or stay the night, you add our tax onto that.

Does it really offer you more savings?

Ha-ha! "Last one"! ROFL

Ha-ha! "Last one"! ROFL

On a related note, I find it strange that that Lego corporate policy allows customer support to mislead customers. At the least, they could be required to imply "we don't know", rather than allowing to lie straight in yor face (even if the lie is based on misinformation)

No, they started with a bunch of other exclusives. General opinion -scam of some sort

Btw, anyone getting SSDs from TRU right now?

i think i finally figured out TRU web system.

a. they seem to have separate inventory field they refer to for the checkout flow and web flow.

 

for example:

b. first field is "available to sell online"

c. second field is "available to ship online"

d. as long as first field is not zero they show green on "Ship to Home"

e. second field is used to control the items which can be added to the cart for checkout.

 

when someone places an order they are updating the second field. and not updating the first one until the item passes through the "allow cancellation window." Most likely when that expires then only they update the "first field".

 

this flow explains why the "ship to home" is available but can't buy the item.

In the end, I would have saved $80. I think state tax is approx. 9% and my gst/pst is 12%. On such an expensive set I think it's worth the trouble, especially since I literally live a 5 minute drive from the US border and I can't remember the last time I've been sent in to pay duty even when I'm truthful with the amount that I have spent shopping in one day. The reason why I thought I was free and clear is everything went through on the website and finalized. I would have figured they wouldn't let me complete the purchase if the shipping/billing address didn't jive. This is a hard one to swallow givin' the sets circumstances.

My thinking is different. I guess they have light-weight inventory check and "expensive" inventory check. Light-weight is for product page, expensive is for anything requiring interaction, like add to cart button or checkout

There is not a chance thats the last one ever. SO don't worry.

Please don't get my hopes up.

Please don't get my hopes up.

Dude... people were placing orders for ssd with ship dates between 15 sep and 4 oct. There is obviously going to be some fulfillment around 15 sep. Nobody believes it was some sort of "mistake" - we would hear about cancellations by now

never believe what CS people told you.

He ordered from US Lego Shop @ Home so your only option is shipping to a US address.

 

Target and Walmart aren't too picky about shipping to border parcel services. TRU usually lets it go (TRU.com won't ship Lego across the border but they'll do most other toys) and Lego never does. I imagine if you had a US billing address it would be OK, but as soon as you mix the CDN/US addresses they nix the order.

Oh, I got that he ordered from the US and figured he may live close (I am 90 minutes away, so I would never order 1 thing, it's not worth it).

But I was looking at the value of

$400 (US retail) x US sales tax (his 9%) x exchange rate (10%) which equals $479.60

Retail in Canada is $499.99 and (my assumption) would be paying tax bringing it back) which would mean he would save only $20.39

However, if he's saving $65 in tax by not declaring or not being challenged, then it makes sense if he is close (another variable)

The SSD is retired. Long live the SSD. It is alive and well and my backorder instill intact at LEGO Shop at Home after their crash. All is well in the Lego Universe.

It's not retired until it's 1/2 off.

which half was the consensus? Top, left, right or bottom that was being cut off? :)

The LEGO Shop at Home reps don't have the whole story.  I added a SSD in my cart on Tues morning but waited a little too long and it was gone.  I called LEGO Shop at Home to see if they could somehow get my order in and they said that the SSD is OOP and has been gone for months, even though I told her it was there in the morning, claiming what I saw must've been a mistake.  Later in the day, it came back and I put an order in for late Sept delivery.

Any chance the china ssds are legit? They wont respond to ebay messages.

Did you buy one? I saw 6 all that went for below RRP. Please tell me you didn't bite?

Walked into a Lego store today and had a SSD on the shelf.  Didn't ask if they had more , just bought it.   They did have multiple Death Stars on the shelf also.
