Customer #: ******
Order #: *******
Purchase ID: *********
Product: MSI GeForce 8800GT PCIE 512MB OC
I looked at the order status on my cancelled MSI GT (for shits and giggles) and found something that didn't make me giggle at all. In the status, it said "changed." When I talked to Dell, I told them to cancel, but the order didn't say "cancelled." Should I be worried about this? Is anyone else getting this?
and just now i check on the dell page, MY ORDER GOT CANCELED!!!! WTF!!!!
my friend bought this and called them yesterday to consent. and he just checked the dell page, his order got canceled too!!!

12/19/2007 10:23:34PM Kevin: "may i ask when did dell receive this info that MSI stopped manufacturing this product?"

ok time for some updates from tonight's chat w/ a dell representive
so from the beginning, this non-deal was a joke... we all got fooled by Dell as they never had enough cards to cover the amount they sold.
and can anyone verify what this guy said about MSI is no longer manufacturing 8800GT 512MB OC?
They still making them but i think it will be with new fan. Hopefully we get new fan with dell order.
Mine still hasn't been cancelled. Order date of 11/25 with an estimated ship date of 12/26. Until I find a better deal, I'm not walking away.
See my original post back on page 28 of this thread.
...it might just be worth it to squeeze Dell if they do cancel my order. Then again, it's a lot less money than was at stake last time this happened to me and this is a busy time of year, so we'll see.
When did you place your order WildMonkey?
12/18/2007 08:54:32AM PosterChild: "and just to be clear, my order has not been cancelled, correct?"
12/18/2007 08:55:25AM Agent (Varinder Kaushal): "Yes, that is correct."
Even though I CANCELLED both of my GT orders from Dell here's what arrived last night via DHL - worst shipper known to man:

Yep,that's exactly how it arrived. WTH Dell way to suck it.
Finally got mine in, after waiting for 3 days (today is day 3). DHL finally left the box in front of my garage door.
Arrived in pristine condition, and now I need to find my motherboard box because the SLi connector is inside of it.

Where did you hear about the 3,600 cards? From the customer service rep? Seems odd that they wouldn't use those to fill the orders they had rather than cancelling everyone's order. That would save them from the negative publicity.
I hope you got the name and extension of the person you talked to. I got the feeling that they would say anything to get me off the phone.
I got this information from Pete in the Customer Care Center. Dell Badge # 949071
How's that?
