Part 3 of the saga September 6, 2012
And now it’s time for the final chapter in this gripping non-adventure. (To relive all the thrills, chills and outrageous ranting go here and here)
IT’S HERE!!!
IT’S HERE!!!
IT’S HERE!!!
IT’S HERE!!!
IT’S HERE!!!
IT’S HERE!!!
Oh happy day!!!!
Now, let’s see — they charged me …????
Okay – they put through the original $39.96 charge, but they processed a credit because of the lower release date price. Yay!!
CONFESSION:
This little update was going to be much more scathing.
When I checked my account and saw $39.96 I was annoyed. My mind was full of “goddammits” and “fucking Amazon” and “sonsabitches”. Then I had the good sense (hey – sometimes I can be kinda smart) to check my email.
That’s better
Then this one:
Okay BOA, now it’s your move (or so I thought)
I checked my account this morning, still focused on the $39.96 and got ready to write this little ranting update. That’s when I actually looked at the bank transactions. BOTH of them.
The first time I looked I honestly didn’t even see the $19.97 credit. I was so fixated on “they better fix this and if they don’t there’s gonna be a bitchfest” that I didn’t take the time to stop and see what was right in front of me. The matter had already been handled. Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy.
Note to self: check thoroughly, think, then double check, before flying off the handle and giving yourself agita. #SMH. #sillykimmie
Amazon Anxiety August 31, 2012
Anyone who’s read this blog for awhile knows I like Sons of Anarchy. Alright fine: I’m obsessed with Sons of Anarchy
Season 5 premiere Tuesday, September 11, 2012 10 pm on FX.
WOO-HOOOOO!!!
The last episode of season 4 was broadcast December 6, 2011. I ordered the dvd on November 27, 2011. Well, preordered. It wasn’t scheduled to be released until August 28, 2012, but I knew that going in.
As it got closer and closer to the release date (and the season 5 premiere – yippee!!!) I was getting more and more excited. Then – August 28 arrives. On that day my Amazon order status changed from “Not Shipped” to “Shipping Soon”. Woo-sah!
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!!!
From past experience and being used to Amazon’s usually quick processing and shipping I figured I’d get it even before the delivery date or at least by September 4, the early end of the scheduled time frame. Plus, in checking my bank account the charge was “processing” for the amount of the order. Yay!
So every day I check the status. As of today 8/31/12 it still says “Shipping Soon”.
???????
Really, Amazon? What’s the problem?? Please tell me, cuz you don’t want to make a SOA fan mad. Especially one from Jersey, yo. Just sayin’
I forgot to mention that the original preorder price was $39.96 which is fine. Then on issue date it goes down to $19.99. Cool, even better. Amazon has a thing where if the price changes between the time you pre-order and the time it’s shipped you get the lowest price. So, win-win. Even if I somehow got charged the original price, Amazon would have credited the difference back to me within 48 hours of shipment. [And even if they didn’t do it automatically, they certainly would have after I contacted them, if that were to be necessary.]
SOA. Jersey. Just sayin.
So anyway I check the item page and it says “In stock on September 3, 2012”
Excuse me?!
And now that “processing” charge that was showing on my bank account is not even processing. It just cleared. Which means I haven’t been charged because NOTHING’S BEEN SHIPPED YET!!!!
Amazon – you’re really cool and all, but right now you’re driving me a little batty. I want my dvd, you torturing bastards!!!!!!
Normally the premiere would be the first Tuesday of September (9/4) but it’s a week later (9/11 – I know, but what are you gonna do? It’s a date) FX is finally showing promos for the new season. It is insane how freaking happy that makes me.
MUST. HAVE. DVD. NOW.
