kenchu2000 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The two Ferris Wheel orders that I placed on Nov. 13th from Amazon have been stuck since then, today I finally received an e-mail from them that they will be arriving this Thursday. On the other hand, finally Walmart has stopped canceling my orders the last few days, however, all of the items are stuck at Processing status and not moving at all.

Achilles Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I find it interesting that people seem to care when someone undercuts them on Amazon to get the buy box which will allow them to sell their product - But these same people don't care when others pull scams (some bordering on illegal) - using 20 accounts, dead people's addresses, re-using coupons, etc to get infinite gift cards or order 4000 of a set that had ordering limits - the sorts of things that ACTUALLY cause businesses to change their practices and make it harder for all of us to acquire stuff. I mean yes, undercutting wars can be annoying - but at the end of the day, it's not going to change the long term face of the operation. It's like swerving in and out of bumper to bumper traffic to get one car length ahead. The grand scheme change is 0. But a rig just plowing into people behind them to keep traffic moving... Changes things. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changes things. I see a lot of complaints about MSRP for new sets (which will then be followed by sustained discounts to actually sell the sets). I also see a lot complaints about undercutting. Bruh, that's just how the free market works. Deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had two orders sitting in limbo for three days now trying to do a store pick-up for Mushroom Islands..... I'm assuming there will be a cancellation at some point. I almost feel like they are delaying the orders until the stores do not have enough stock, then they'll use that excuse to cancel....this sucks!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were $17.99 on Google Express earlier, which was great as I could use my $10 off $35 code on 2 of them, making them $12.99 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had all my small orders (5-6 sets each) for instore pickup all accepted, and then I get the email: " We've received your order and we're currently verifying your payment and other information. We're doing this to make certain your financial information is safe. We'll process your order right away, as soon as we're done with verification. We'll email you again within 48 hours to update you and share an approximate pickup time for your order. There's nothing you need to do right now and we'll contact you again if there are any issues with your order. We apologize for the delay. After reviewing the details below, visit our Help Center if you have any questions. Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is unmonitored. " I guess I'll just go back to AMZ and see if we can get them to match Walmart's prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even calculate how much money they've left on the table in the last two weeks. I only know what I've spent at AMZ during that time!

iahawks550 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 For those who have been canceled with B&N, when did the cancellation appear? Mine shows the two Lego sets I purchased (Croc Sewer x2) as a delivery date of Tuesday and "OPEN". The HP freebie shows delivery date of Monday and "PROCESSING".

KvHulk Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) B&N orders from this morning started shipping... GE orders with the TARGET30 code shipped yesterday... And Walmart... Walmart... Walmart... I can hardly keep up. Partial cancellations.... partial shipments.... cancelled orders being shipped a week later. orders not showing up. Orders being replaced, refund, reshipped...

Achilles Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Oddly, I placed an In-Store pickup order, (no promo or anything in the cart) and it was insta cancelled. I wonder if it just cancels orders placed within a certain amount of time of eachother? Edited December 4, 2018 by Achilles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply being a last mile delivery firm and following through on the delivery are two different things. No delivery last night.

Achilles Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I placed two orders for WM Delivery in the last 2 weeks, both went through without issue. I placed 6 pickup orders this AM, the first two were processed, the last 4 were cancelled for the "verification" issue. Rapid fire multiple orders may be part of the problem, not positive. All of these were small orders. 1-3 items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
