Don't hold your breath - I made 3 orders for 8445s on the 29th and 30th. They
disappeared from the site about 2 hours ago, so I called up, and it looks like NOT
A SINGLE ORDER is going to be filled. The # I called is the Catalog ordering
system, they said they don't know what is truly in stock on the website, so
calling them to order something the instant it shows on the website still won't
get you confirmation you will actually get anything.
I emailed their Customer Service about this. I am REAL close to setting up a
Boycott WB page on my site and registering it with every search site I can. These
guys are TOTALLY clueless about how to run a web ordering system, they need a
wakeup call.
Maybe I'll email Jesse Berst at Anchordesk with the details, so he can do a blurb
about how NOT to run an online ordering system.
