[H]OT: M-m-m-m-m-ONSTER KILL! EVGA GTX 280 SSC Edition $200 @ buy.com

i have a feeling buy.com will just ask their vendors to ship our cards with buy.coms packaging slips... why would it say In the Shipping Process (i have that like others btw) but yet they dont have the cards in their inventory? for a faster turn-around i think they will just have the vendors ship them to save time. justa guess
 
Got tired of waiting & cancelled my order this morning. Money is back in my account as of 12pm. Fastest refund evar!

They have been returning money to accounts that where charged from the get go. Some people did not have a charge on their CC when they checked out. Others like me and people who used google check out had the money taken out the 10th.

It doesn't mean that the order has been canceled it probably means because of complaints from alot of customers who were charged when the item wasn't shipped. My order still says "In shipping process" so let's hope they can get their act together and get all of these orders out or let us know they are canceling them.

I'm itching to buy that Street Fighter Tournament Stick...*scratch* :D
 
My order just changed form sent to warehouse to "In the shipping process" as of today at noon, so maybe something will come of this order and I'll get my card.
 
I've been stuck at "sent to warehouse" so I emailed buy.com about the status. Reply:

Don't have too much hope, I've been at "In shipping Process" since Saturday.
 
Got the back-order email notice today.

Ordered 5AM EST Friday. EVGA SSC model. Paid through CC. In the shipping process.

The wait game is official now. :mad:
 
I have the eVGA SSC ordered and really don't mind the wait as long as we get the cards.

It could be worse, they could of just canceled all of our orders. So the wait is bearable. :)
 
well least you receive an email, i send them 8 email, DIDN'T GET ANY REPLY BACK. so i call twice, each time they said they will send me an email from a specialist, but nada, haven't got anything from buy.com for 2 days now. their service just sucks. never gonna buy from them again.
 
I don't care if this does go through, this is the last time I will ever purchase something from Buy.com. I'll stick with Amazon thank you very much.

Edit: Oh, and I also got the back order email.

Welcome to Buy.com. Sometimes they have a special I just can't resist. About 66% of the time I end up not getting anything at all, having it sent to the wrong address, or having to fight like hell just to get whatever I ordered shipped to me. They are a pile. I wish somewhere else had their sales. Prices like this on Amazon and I would buy in a heartbeat. Occasionally Amazon does have hot sales, but their service is much better, in my opinion.
 
even though amazon is usually good, they can be downright lousy as well, depends on what type of item your purchasing and what vendor they are using to supply it... I've had good and bad experiences with most online retailers that I've made purchases from.
 
I have a feeling we should be getting ready for a huge disapointment from buy.com on this one...
 
why will there be a disapointment? if they couldnt fulfill the orders placed they would cancel by now, they are obviously trying to work things out for everything. put your panties back on and relax
 
So I'm taking it that you agree to put your panties back on?!?! :p

Just Kidding lol, i couldn't resist... :D
 
How come newegg never seems to have super awesome price mistakes? Is newegg that much better?
 
except when they price gouge on brand new enthusiast items like video cards and processors/motherboards as in the recent past. Otherwise heads and shoulders above buy.com

They must have a crack team of web people to keep the mistakes off their website.
 
Newegg's logistics model and POS system is absolutely world class - I would hate to know the cost of developing their infrastructure
 
I don't know if this is official info or not, but someone on SD said Buy.com will try to find other suppliers for this card at this price within the next two weeks. If they can't find any cards by then, they'll cancel the orders.
 
Which will align with the model going EOL (end of life), if it hasn't already.
 
The GTX 285 is attractive, seems like the OCd ones keep up closely with the 4870x2 cards, that's pretty freakin awesome. You guys should read the [H] review that just released.
 
OMG mine regressed! It had said in shipping process but now it regressed to sent to warehouse. SC card.
 
Same here. Since Saturday it was "in the shipping process", but today just now it says "sent to warehouse" EVGA SSC model... :confused: :eek: :mad: :rolleyes:
 
I just went to microcenter, bought 2x EVGA GTX 260 Core 16's, and am stepping up to the 285's in a week. Screw you, buy.com.
 
:eek: Hmmm... Same for me "Sent to Warehouse". Check your status pages peeps, there could be something afoot. :eek:
 
according to their wonderful customer support (let's not emphasize support) all open orders will be can canceled tonight.

Yup the BFG and eVGA now show that for me. Well, at least that damn page finally updated. My guess is almost so people can cancel more easily now, as that option was not available when "in the shipping process"...
 
Mine moved to Sent to Warehouse as well...

This was for a SC ordered with Paypal...

Shitty!!!
 
Their reseller ratings are going to suffer badly. I might buy something really cheap ( <$5 ) off their ebay store and give them a negative rating for this.
 
Mine is now "sent to warehouse" too. I ordered the SSC version. I hope they dont cancel the order. I dont mind waiting. hopefully they just changed the status so people can "cancel" them now on the website without calling.
