Sandisk 1GB Pro Duo $39.96 QVC Price honored like Indian Peace Treaty

[quote name='khc']I finally got mine today! :D[/QUOTE]

Not that I'm doubting you, though could you tell me when you placed your order and when you had your email come through of when it shipped?

Did your order status update on QVC.com or does it still say BACKORDERED?
Thanks

Mine's still on backorder.
 
Mine still says backordered as well. Mooky, when on the 6/16 did you place your order? As soon as it was posted around 10 am EST on CAG or later?

That's the odd thing, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why the orders are cancelled.

I can understand cancelling some of the FW orders, since some of those jackasses were tossing 5 at a time into their cart to bypass the 5-unit limitation, though one for a single item? WTF?
 
Don't feel bad Ricebo - there was like a 1hour window to get in on this and nobody's actually proved they got theirs shipped to them. So you may not have missed out on anything but the angst.
 
[quote name='RiCeBo1']NOOO!! HOW THE fuck DID I MISS ON ON THIS DEAAL?! :'([/QUOTE]

It went from the Cheap Ass Deals forum to here in the span of about an hour, maybe two. Might be why you didn't see it.
 
I check CAG like everyday! I can't believe I didn't see it! Ima go cry now because I missed out on a great opportunity to get a $40 1 gig stick :(

So far, there's only been one CAG who's said they've received it, and the general populace is in a waiting pattern with BACKORDERED orders for them.

I'm sure some CAG, if they've ordered more than one, will offer it up for sale here.
 
I'm getting that they will give for all backordered. People who got cancelled ordered to many. Anyone who ordered just 1 get cancelled. And when was this.

What?
 
[quote name='A friend of a guy from slickdeals']...Well my friend works at QVC and he just told me that there was a whole lot of things that were wrong on that site. What happened was they were in the process of doing a migration. Whoever put the page up for these items did them incorrectly.

He told me that QVC lost so much money that they had a conference call with the Vice President of the company of QVC for 6 hours trying to figure out what to do. But he did tell me that even though they are backordered, that all the people that ordered them will get the items for the price they bought it for.

I cant wait to get mine....Thought id share that info with one and all[/QUOTE]

To summarize, don't cancel

Hello UPS! It is now 5pm and it's still not "Out for Delivery". It's been raining all day and now I'm headed for work. Hopefully I get it in the next 10 minutes.

Lol unless QVC said send that shit back. Heh.

If that it true I will be very happy.
 
Has anyone had a backorder turn into a shipment? Or are those reporting that their's are in the mail (UPS, whatever) never had theirs in backorder status? I knew I should have picked the overnight shipping, damnit.
 
[quote name='XboxHardcore.com']Wow. You guys are lucky if you do get them. :( I wish I could have gotten in on this deal. *cries*[/QUOTE]



Same here man. Same here. My psp sadly goes mostly unused.

That's what I want to know. I called QVC, and they assured me that the order would be fulfilled. I'm wishing I had chosen the overnight shipping.
 
I just got home 30 minutes ago, and what do my pretty little eyes see? I see a small box from QVC. And inside this box you may ask? Two 1GB Pro Duos!

I'm so happy I can cry, thank you QVC.

Awesome and congrats...It seems like they're shipping them for the early buyers, I can only hope to get mine later on.

Thats great Scoobert. Congratulations! Hopefully the rest of us get ours as well. Any way you can post a scan of the packing slip to prove once and for all that this was for real?

Not that we're in doubt of this, though some pics would shock us even more.
 
Mine is still backordered. I just got back from a trip for work. I was hoping to get it before my trip but I am glad I had my PSP when my flight back got delayed by 2 1/2 hours.
 
Don't have a scanner and my old ass digitial camera is MIA. So no pictures of the invoice, sorry. Doesn't matter if anyone believes me or not, I have nothing to prove. Just letting you guys know I got it, and who knows maybe some of you will also. They have atleast shipped some.

Scoobert,

Did your order status still say "BACKORDERED" ?

No worries, just trying to have something more concrete to inspire hope to those still stuck in WTF-land about it.
 
[quote name='Scoobert']My order was never backordered and I used regular shipping.[/QUOTE]

Now, there's an odd thing indeed, if yours was never backordered.
 
i think he just got in really early before someone decided to question the whole thing

who knows how many people got theirs shipped out very early on for this deal....
5, 15, 2?
 
[quote name='GT']Does QVC really LOSE money if they fulfill these orders or just make a teeny tiny profit?[/QUOTE]

At this price, I'm pretty sure it is a loss for them.
 
[quote name='GT']Does QVC really LOSE money if they fulfill these orders or just make a teeny tiny profit?[/QUOTE]

Oh, they're getting fucked on every one they complete. I'm sure the manufacture cost on a 1GB stick is at least twice $39.96. The cheapest I've seen on the web has been about $100, which is a pretty decent profit on an $80 item (just a guess on that price).

I'm sure they meant to sell it for $139.96, which means they're undercutting their expected revenue on it by about 60-something %. In that scenario, you take an ugly loss.

QVC will either take the hit to make for happy customers that might come back to shop again, or they'll not take the loss and get an earful from pissed-off customers. Tough call.
