Okay, retracting previous statement, My friend who was ordering them called, and said he got the conformation e-mail for his phone order...

 

So those of you who phone ordered, be patient(since I certainly wasn't!)

Annnnd... what about those that called but were denied by a particular sales rep?  I guess we're still SOL. :redface

i'll hafta call and see, what rep did your buddy get?

This is officially a screw job.

 

Called the Consumer Affairs line, spoke with Tim.  I asked him for information about what happened Thursday morning on HTS.  He asked me what I meant, so I filled him in: logged in at 8:30 or so, site started slowing down as 9am approached, site nearly locked, NP never changed from coming soon.  "They sold out very quickly."  Called and tried to place a manual order, was denied by 3 different reps while others were taking orders. "Wow, you shoulda kept trying."  Mentioned the discrepancies in stories from the reps, including the supposed "late shipment."  "I don't know why they would say different things like that, I apologize.  All I know is they're gone."  Said I was on the site all morning and continually refreshed, it never changed from coming soon.  mentioned that it was reported that it changed directly to out of stock shortly after I went to bed that afternoon.  "Well that's when the shipment came in.  They sold out that afternoon."  At that point I knew he was feeding me lines and I told him so.  "Well I'm sorry you feel that way, but I can only tell you what I know." I asked him if he at least got off Friday like the rest of the office.  "Heh, sure did."  Office holiday?  "Well, we work Christmas, so we get some perks."  Mentioned iacon45(?)'s story about the office hours recording changing three times.  "...huh.  Is that so?"  He gave me more heartfelt apologies and told me he'd pass on my comments.  To who, to where... who the Powerglide knows.

 

Called back and got Jessica.  Played dumb... I left big gaping holes in the story until she committed to them selling out at 9am.  Then I clued her in on all the discrepancies given.  She didn't have much to say except to repeat what she had already told me, and that what she told me was accurate.  I apologized for being a dick and thanked her for proving my point.

 

So... that's that.  Same story, different phone number. (800-327-8264 if anyone wants to corroborate.)

Bleah! That's it now I'm going to have to get violent!

All I can say is, Thank God for BBTS (they have them listed now for 44.99). :clap
