alogical Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Not sure if people are still struggling to find back ordered items that wont ship, but I just got a cancellation from The Rooftops "A Forest of Polarity." So, if you're looking for coupon codes, I doubt they'll get anymore copies of that. thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemongoat Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 They blocked my account(s). I think I over did it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exquisite Death of NK Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 That's still there? Been ordering that one from the start, hah. Yup. Just ordered another copy of it as soon as my cancellation was confirmed. They blocked my account(s). I think I over did it Seriously? How many codes did you get before they blocked you? I've gotten probably 15ish codes over the past two months or so without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemongoat Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I am embarrassed to say. Lets just say I cleared 15 a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 They blocked my account(s). I think I over did it Love how rather than keep their inventory up to date they will ban a customer. Feels real similar to HT excluding vinyl from the majority of their sales rather than create unique codes for hot cash. Yea I know both of these situations are people taking advantage of known loopholes, but if you leave loopholes they are gonna get exploited. I'm not complaining that these companies are taking action to stop the exploits, just about the nature of how they do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is seriously out of whack with their inventory, things that are guaranteed to be out of stock just keep popping back up. Seems they need an overhaul of their whole system or maybe do the obvious thing and stop giving out these codes for back ordered items. I wonder how long this will last, but if they are banning accounts it might be the beginning of the end now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvham Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I got the cancellation email on Saturday saying I'd get a coupon code within two business days and still haven't received the code...I called today and the person I talked to was pretty clueless.

lemongoat Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Almost every time an order is canceled on a Friday or Saturday, the code is not sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Last time I ordered, I had the entire total 'pending' in my bank account. That went away after about a week. That was on my debit card, I don't recall them doing that when I ordered with my credit card (but I wasn't paying as much attention either).

RowBearToe Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Blue Sky Noise was just listed as backordered again, so I placed an order and it went through, not sure how long it'll last though...haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exquisite Death of NK Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 i think it only works on items that do not show to be back ordered. I could be wrong Not true. I've ordered a bunch listed as back ordered and still get a code upon cancellation. Blue Sky Noise was just listed as backordered again, so I placed an order and it went through, not sure how long it'll last though...haha Already back as being listed 'sold out online.' But there are seemingly tons of stuff that you can get codes with. I've listed some a few posts/pages back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
