wow, i just checked on this and you still haven't received it yet! post me with an update!
 
i would think that ibm would be quicker with shipping and stuff. i bet you they are just going to send a tray assembly and they are trying to figure out what they are doing. lol. i hope there is some "development" soon. thanks
 
Here is an email i just got from them:

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for your recent order to purchase IBM parts from U.S. Maintenance Parts on ibm.com.

We regret to inform you that an error caused IBM Maintenance Parts prices to be displayed incorrectly during the period of February 1, 2006 through February 10, 2006. The error has since been corrected.

Among the products that were incorrectly priced was the disk drive part number 13N6805 that was ordered by you. The correct prices for this item is listed below:

P/N 13N6805 - $522.00

We are unable to offer this item at the incorrectly displayed price. Therefore, we have cancelled your order for 13N6805. If you wish to purchase this item for the correct price, please visit IBM.com to place your order.

Client satisfaction is very important to us here at IBM. We regret the temporary inaccuracy in our parts prices, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

We hope that you will visit IBM.com soon and allow us to be of service to you in the future.

Sincerely,

Mike Oyler

taz, its not like we didnt expect this to be the outcome from day one, we totally did.. Its almost like youve never had an order cancelled due to typo.

And you guys thought I was gonna pull a Dehawk... :suspect:
 
i have never had anyone cancel my order due to a typo. they always said that it is a binding contract with that price and they had to give it to me for whatever the price was. IBM sucks anyway.

LOL IBM certainly doesnt suck. Why did you buy from them and expect to get a great deal if they suck? LOL I have no brand loyalty whatsoever, but we all fully expected this to be cancelled. Maybe youve had really good luck in the past, or maybe youve always dealt with small companies, or maybe youre really new to this and havent got the experience that some the other Spoofers have. In any event, sounds like sour grapes to me.
 
I got one finally, nigdonht. Thanks though. I appreciate your effort. :)
 
I GOT MY DRIVE TODAY! They credited my account and they gave me the drive so i basically got it for nothing! YES!!!!!! Did this happen to anyone else?
