Ok, since we're trying to make sense of it, let's try and figure out if there was any method to how they filled the preorders.

What I need is the following....

Do not include the order number, with that and your email address someone could access the last 4 digits of your CC# (Thank Patrick Riley for pointing that out!)

I noticed that the people that listed Visa as their credit card recieved their orders . . . then again a bunch of you simply listed "credit card" Maybe edit your post as to which company? Not sure if this has to do with anything, but I used Amex and did not recieve my order. It's a shot in the dark, but we're grabbing at straws here!

Hmmm another good point. I used a Visa and was an existing customer (ordered some 12" Joes, Barbies, and the Cat from them)

Hate to burst your bubble...


But I created an account the night I bought and my orders came through...

The visa thing might have merit though... Good point!

Tanner ..what about "Bill Me Later"? My bro-n-law used VISA and I the BML option. No dice on both counts. We both had previous accounts.

I was thinking... BML orders might have been pushed to the back, since money up front is always better than money later in the eyes of big biz.

Tanner

Yup. What I figured too.
