Amazon Orphans unite!

Amazon.com does seem to be down. And all I wanted to do was cancel my pre-order of the gift set.

I pre-ordered mine in December. I checked the status of my order yesterday morning to discover that they wouldn't ship until June 10, and not arrive until the end of the month. So I canceled, complained that it was ridiculous they couldn't get them to me sooner when I had pre-ordered six months ago, and got mine from the LFGS at their special midnight opening.

Was it more expensive? Yes. Do I care? Not a whit. I'd rather have them now so I can run some demos for people on Sunday like I promised.

Ok, who was the diehard who kept refreshing amazon.com so often it crashed the server?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

 

[drothgery]

I never had any expectation that an Amazon pre-order would ship on time, so I'm not disappointed.

I went to Amazon to double check the status of my books, and got this:

Http/1.1 Service Unavailable

WOO HOO! we broke Amazon!

WOO HOO! we broke Amazon!

Ah, that brings back memories...

It's not the June 10th-16th estimate that's the issue. It's the spectre of being pre-backordered to July 2nd .

Sorry, I've got some time because I'm supposed to be packing up my apartment, but I just can help but hit refresh.

Wow. Anxious gamers have DDoS'd Amazon? Crazy.

Stop refreshing, people! I want to see if my books shipped!

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Aaaaaaarrgh!!!!
