naf Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I order a Mini like 15 minutes after it became available, and it's back ordered. Shenanigans. Placed the order late in the day July 18th.... seems Lego doesn't fulfill orders first come first serve. See Vampyre Hearse. Wife is catching up with her friend this evening at Starbucks this evening, so I'll get start building this thing tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroster Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 So, I ordered 6 times from staples. First I ordered a "real" order of shipping supplies etc that totaled over $100 and got the $25 off using the visa speedy dealio. I signed up for that and also (stupidly) created a staples account. Got the confirmation email for that. Then ordered (5) $100 TRU giftcards all being on different orders and all five getting the discount. All got confirmation emails but I checked out as a guest or all of those but did use the same email address for all orders. Haven't gotten a call or any other confirmation. These are just emailed gift cards right with the long number and pin? Worried I'm going to get nothing but my first order of boring boxes (although it was a good deal).

xeeeej Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Same, though it's In Process for me. Wish it would just ship already. Did you get a call for your Staples cards? My phone was off earlier today and I'm paranoid I missed the call lol Yeah, I got a call. It was quick and painless - just asked me to confirm that I ordered gift cards, and confirm my email address.

My first order was under my real Staples account also, then the others just guest checkout through Visa Checkout. I imagine they have thousands of gift cards to fulfill today, so it'll take some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseace Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Just received a message from Staples about the TRU GC. The order has been delayed and that I can cancel the order if I want. But if I want to keep the order I don't need to do anything but continue to wait. I will happily wait for my GC. Here is the message: Dear Valued Staples Customer , We wanted to let you know that all or part of your recent Staples order number _____ has been delayed for delivery by one business day.

BrickLegacy Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I received the same delay email for one of my TRU cards. I'm still waiting for the Visa cards to ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLegacy Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I received my last TRU gift card just now. They sent me a delay email yesterday, called me about 10 minutes ago leaving me a message that it would be delayed until 8/7, then sent me another email saying it was delayed one business day. So, the good news is if you received a delay notification by phone or email, you might only have to wait a few more hours to get your gift card! Thanks again to xeeeej (OP) for notifying us. I classify this as one of the best deals of 2014. Still waiting on some VISA cards to physical ship. I'm less optimistic about those but still holding out hope.

psusyntar Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Same exact situation happened with me. Called Staples back and the guy was confused about why I received any call or why they said my order was placed on hold. Hopefully I will have my gift card soon.
