Double discount at Guitar Center

#323
It's too bad that the discount error allowed for so much off; doubt that the IT department will ever make this mistake again; of course it won't be the same staff either

I'm not. I don't care one way or the other about mine, but after giving it a little thought, it'll cost them more than they lost to reverse my order and they won't get any cash flow at all from it, so they'd be stupid not to just let it go and be glad they at least moved some product and got some cash, even if they did so at a slight loss. :hmm:

They just phoned me via a generic "Toll Free Number" according to my Caller ID and said my order had been canceled due to an error allowing too many coupon codes when only one should be used. They offered me 10% which I declined. What they didn't say was exactly what order it was that they were even talking about (I had 4), nor did I request that they clarify as I didn't want to draw any extra attention to my other orders. But I'm assuming they were talking about the cab orders that were already canceled via email and that they were simply trying to save my sale via a phone call.

I'm surprised they only offered 10% when there's 20% sale going on this weekend.

I was thinking: can the receiver call UPS and state he wants to pick the item up personally at a certain facility ?. If so, you can halt the shipping and pick it up out of town in another state for example. That way you anticipate to GC's call to UPS. I would travel couple of hundred miles if that means a couple of hundred dollars in savings.

I'm beginning to feel like we're all a part of some weird, slightly evil, think tank

UPS provides horrid info through their tracking system. lol

On a side note since im trying not to get to worked up over this thread, i heard a car today that sounded exactly like anikans pod racer from star wars. I had to do a double take and then just laughed.

haha what did you think Anikan was mobbing down the road?:smug:


My 2 cabs were both seperate orders I had a delivery date of 6/24 then that went away and said exception and no date. I thought the jig was up but now it says delivery date 6/23, so i guess its coming earlier.

I am not sure if i really will get it , if not It will be a bummer because I cant afford full price, but oh well.:cool:

Only a couple people have recieved anything.

Im half tempted to sell the items back to GC. lol

Im wondering about the exception thing as well. I know its obvious to suspect its because of GC but im starting to doubt that now.

EDIT: I figured out what the exceptions are for. This is gonna make some of you laugh, i know i did anyway. GC tried cheating the UPS system by claiming false weights and/or dimensions on some of their larger items. Of course UPS weighs and/or measures items of a certain size and weight and they caught on. The items are still being shipped but rather than explain that in detail on the tracking page they list it as an exception. If anyone has a speaker cab with an exception, thats probably it.
