troymess Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Well, I gave it a shot. Ordered 10 copies of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Zero" single at 1.99 each and the Pro-ject Debut Carbon (Gloss Black). Just like everyone before with similar orders, mine was a shade under $294 with the free shipping. Fingers crossed it works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My speed box ii is listed as "in stock" so i should be able to let you know in a day whether or not this deal actually still works. (they typically ship their "in stock" items within 24 hours) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinisterkidd Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 i got the blue, i wish i would of waited for this sale again though.. if it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Went ahead and tried this too, but I got different CDs, so my order ended up being about $307. Still not too shabby, especially if it works. The only thing I'm unsure of is that every single color is currently backordered, so I'm not sure how long it will take to ship (I ordered black).

randomfortunepa Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Should work until tomorrow I believe. Did your order wind up processing again? If so I might just pick up that integrated amp you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedannychang Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I placed an order on Insound (phono preamp and acrylic platter) 6 days ago and tried emailing them and calling them about a shipping confirmation (since my order confirmation email said that shipping usually takes 24 hours). Not sure if it's because of the holidays, but I still have no reply and no shipping confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Did your order wind up processing again? If so I might just pick up that integrated amp you mentioned. Hasn't been processed yet. They moved my speedbox ii from "in stock" to "backorder", though they haven't cancelled my order yet. If you're even thinking about attempting to do it, you'll need to hurry and try it ASAP because I believe the deal already ended at midnight???

thedannychang Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Got an email from Insound: I am sorry for the delay responding to this matter. Checking the order, it looks like it was placed for but a glitch had altered the order. The holiday promotion for 30% off only applies to CDs. However, this seems to have been activated for all the items in the order. The holiday page on the front the site had been updated in early December to make this distinction clear, as some orders were placed and customers were confused as to why the CDs had only been discounted. Our tech team is working to adjust this issue, as it seems to have changed recently due to a glitch. Would you like the order to remain intact with the updated discount or would you like the order closed? Best,-John So they're not honoring new orders?

troymess Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hmm...I never received an e-mail like above after placing my order. Hopefully mine still goes through... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hmm...I never received an e-mail like above after placing my order. Hopefully mine still goes through... Yeah, I'm definitely keeping my mouth shut about it this time around as I know this discount wasn't supposed to go through. No point in trying to tip them off to cancel my order... Still haven't received an email yet either. Hopefully ours slips through the cracks if we keep quiet about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm expecting the worst, and have started looking at other turntables in the event that I get a similar email. Still, even if it doesn't work, it was worth a shot. Only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedannychang Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I emailed them again and told them that they should honor my order since the shopping cart reflected the price after discount. They stopped responding to me, so I just told them to cancel the order so that I could order my Rega Fono Mini on Sound Stage Direct, since it's the last day of their 11% off sale. I have a feeling people at Insound are freaking out right now because they have all these orders that can't be fulfilled. Someone's getting fired haha.

mikeytags Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 any updates from people who ordered in the past few days? mine's still sitting in limbo (backordered). Haven't had any response yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Mine's still backordered as well. I'm probably just gonna cancel my order and either buy something a bit cheaper or save up a bit and buy from a different store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troymess Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well, I haven't received any notification that its been cancelled, and its still on backorder. I'm holding out and hoping it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedannychang Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Not to be a pessimist, but I don't think it's going to work out. If I didn't reach out to Insound, I'm pretty sure they would have just ignored my order and not even send an email notification saying it had been cancelled. Therefore, I reached out to them and finally managed to get a 15% discount on the acrylic platter that I ordered. I doubt you can get the 15% discount anymore (I think it was a November/December promotion) on the Pro-ject Debut Carbon, though, since they didn't let me get the discount on the cheaper phono preamp I wanted.

Or it could be someone in the sales department doesn't communicate with the warehouse buyer and the backorder that has been placed, arrives and ships. Until I get an email stating a cancellation or something, Im just gonna leave it as is and not try to tip someone off on my order. If it gets cancelled, Ill try for the 15% off and if I cant get that, I can get that acrylic platter for $106 shipped elsewhere and get the speedbox for about $130 shipped. Still will be able to get both on my $240 budget, just minus the $20 record brush and the 10 CDs I dont really want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSeth Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 for those of you that the discount for the carbon didnt work, musiciansfriend.com has the carbon and they have 15% off a single item with the code NEWGEAR15. comes out to 339 and some change. the promo ends tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aych Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Musician's Friend has another 15% off deal going on right now. Input the code "PAUL15" at checkout to receive 15% off one item, and the promotion ends today. Also, it looks like the only color of the Carbon they have left is yellow, so...

Haha I like yellow the best but was gonna get black just because it blends in so well. Yellow it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckis Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Ended up getting black on Ebay (open box, brand new) for $374 shipped. $8 more than Musician's Friend but this guy has it in stock and I'll get it next week from Colorado. It's also black, which is the safest color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
