derrickcook19941 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 havent seen this thread in a while, the scam progressively went downhill, but cant say it wasn't inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyrobotty Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I am surprised the Slip cancelled. Also, I wonder with all of the stuff going on with PJ Lightning Bolt if that one is a safe bet. Why are you surprised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Why are you surprised?Because the slip is fairly easy to find and I would assume BB would restock it as they have with other easy to find albums. BUT the slip is a great album so enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowBearToe Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I had 7 items that I've been using in rotation for months now. 4 of those items became Sold Out Online over the weekend, and they were all 1-2 Backordered items. Now I only have 3 items left that I've been using and they're all 2-4 week Backorders. I'm pretty sure Best Buy went into my account and decided to specifically try to screw me over...haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Everything I have been using is listed as sold out online now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl_ben Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Are you receiving codes for each of those items that became Sold Out? The orders are still pending so I would assume so....but those will be my last codes unless I find something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one cancel today and when I went to reorder it I noticed all of them were sold out online, even though I still have open orders for a couple of them. but it still seems like the codes will come when they're cancelled.

mmhmm Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I think it might be game over. Not sure about that...I'm curious if anyone else has received the e-mail titled "We're sorry - we had to cancel your backordered item" and still received a code. The e-mail subject line is worded differently than I've seen before and those e-mails aren't saying anything about a discount code in them, which is new I believe.

zuck Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Has anyone used codes on an order, had it cancel, gotten a replacement code & used it on a backordered item that also canceled? I got a replacement code today & want to use it on a backordered record but if the order gets canceled, do you receive another replacement code, or are you just screwed?

The e-mail subject line is worded differently than I've seen before and those e-mails aren't saying anything about a discount code in them, which is new I believe. Yes, this has happened to me. Last week I got a cancellation e-mail with no mention of a code. A day or two later I got a code. At the time I assumed this happened because the item that was cancelled had switch to 'being sold out online' on the website while my order was still pending. Their system is so sporadic and weird. This could be the end... but people have literally been saying that for months and I keep getting codes. So we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowBearToe Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 ^ agreed. plus I got an email today with this as the subject: We're sorry - we've had to cancel your backordered item but a discount is coming so they're still coming haha I think the email with no mention of codes is when it gets cancelled before the backordered period ends (like if they make it no longer available online) and you get the email I got today if it makes it to the end of the backordered period. so I don't think it's done yet, but they are getting smarter and figuring it out haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the cancelled e-mail I got today for the Dead Weather - Horehound didn't mention a code, and while it cancelled earlier than I thought, its still available online.

RowBearToe Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 and while it cancelled earlier than I thought, its still available online. Now that's weird, don't understand why or how Best Buy would cancel something early that didn't reach the end of the backordered time period or was no longer available. I just don't get it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyrobotty Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I had Melvins - Nude With Boots and Periphery - s/t cancel on me then immediately they were taken out of the store. But I also had NIN - the Slip and I got a second order in before it was removed. I guess I have to keep hunting for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exquisite Death of NK Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Just got a few cancelation emails with no mention of a code. Me too- but the code still came a day later like clockwork! I think it might be game over. Nope! the cancelled e-mail I got today for the Dead Weather - Horehound didn't mention a code, and while it cancelled earlier than I thought, its still available online. Code came today. I'm fairly confident this title is a good one to use as it cancelled for me. Also, its a 1-2 week backordered. ... now lets all watch it go straight to the top of the vinyl best seller list! Ha!

weededout Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 4 cancellation / codes in the past 24 hours. sadly its slim pickings for new orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btelg Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Even though this is still technically working, it looks like we've finally killed the goose that lays the golden eggs. Every record I would normally use has been listed as Sold Out Online as soon as the most recent cancellations have hit, and it sounds like its that way for everyone else. It was fun while it lasted.
