Yea same here, oh well, guess we will see what happens in the next day or two.

I got the CANCELLED BY CONSUMER, so I went ahead and bought it through Amazon. If I get it, I'll sell it, but I think it'll be highly unlikely.
I do find it odd that they didn't send an email notifying me that it was cancelled; instead, I had to inquire about my order on the website. Would they have ever notified us? Bad customer service all around, if you ask me.

This is just fun to follow. The whole reason I love this board. I ordered, chose 3-5 day to save a buck, and now I'm hoping for a cheap set. If I get it, great. If not, the hunt was fun anyway. Reminds me of the flooz.com deals and taking a bunch of tests online to get $130 in flooz. Didn't think it would work. It did and it was fun waiting it out. Best of luck to us all and thanks to the OP.

I'm in the "web site says shipped but order inquiry says cancelled by customer" group. I don't think any of us will be getting this. 
Congrats to those who do though.

I tried to order, it told me I'd typed address, card # or the # on the back wrong. I was on my lunch break, so in my hurry, I tried a few variants to try and get it right and never did.
I never got an order in, never got past "your address, etc is wrong, double check it"
However, they decided to put a pre-authorization charge on my card anyway. A comforting thought, I must say.
What if I'd typed it wrong and typed someone else's and run them into the hole?
Even if the charge didn't go through, often overdrafting will be fully posted just from "queued" charges.
That's really, really messed up. They told me I had to just wait until it posted to my account to get it removed. Perhaps that will teach me to use a debit card...

When I checked the status of my order, I got the "Cancelled by Consumer" message, however, I still have the pending charge on my debit card.
When that moves to either a real charge, or gets dropped off, I'll have confirmation one way or another. But since some people got in on this, I'm still gonna say there's hope for some of us.
...And maybe if we can get the order #'s of some of the ones that shipped, someone might call and bitch that some got it at this price, and maybe get lucky. Just a thought, however unlikely.
