Double discount at Guitar Center

The order that I have "in transit" was placed at about 10pm PDT last night. I have another order placed later last night with only an order confirmation, and a third order placed this morning at about 10am with a tracking # that is still not showing in UPS's system. We shall see . . . .

Oh wow.

This is worse than waiting for Santa Claus. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight. :D
 
Once again, I don't mean to be a poopy-head. BUT... until that package is in your hands GC can recall it. If it gets past your nearest local distribution center, you're golden. If they catch it prior to that, they recall the shipment and send you an email telling you that there was a problem. They can't keep your money, and they can't charge you in excess of what's already been withdrawn from your account. But they can pull back the shipment and refund your money at any point prior to the package being delivered to your address.

I wish all of you well in screwing GC out of money, but advise that you don't hold your breath....

This is sort of the attitude I'm taking. I fully expect an e-mail tomorrow or Monday telling me my orders have been cancelled. On the other hand, I'm sort of excited to see if this actually pans out. Hoping for the best prepared for the worst is probably the best way to explain it.
 
I'm curious to know from those of you who HAVE received a shipping notification: Did you all place your orders yesterday (Wednesday)? I ordered mine about 9:30 this morning. I got the "Thanks for your order" email with the order number, etc.; but have not received any shipping notification.

Did anybody who ordered today get a shipping notification (or a cancellation notice)?

I placed both my orders shortly after Midnight so technically it was early this morning. Both orders were approved by 2AM. Only have shipping info on the Hofner though.
 
I just know that I won't have to wait long to find out...my order will be scanned into the UPS warehouse here within a few hours so I'd say I'll know by the time I get off work tomorrow whether to believe this could actually happen...maybe by lunch! I know last night I got my shipping confirmation on my first order around midnight so I'm hoping for a couple more tonight!

Don't forget-no pictures no super cheap bass!
 
I won't be surprised if they catch it, but I won't that that surprised if they don't either. I mean, the 20 or so of us salivating about this on TB are really a drop in the bucket of all the thousands of orders they must have received over the last day or so. And I'm sure the fulfillment process is all automated, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that at least some of these orders will just slip by.
 
I made a few orders before midnight but haven't got any shipping notifications yet. Beginning to think I won't be one of the lucky ones. :crying: I'm also now thinking I should have gone for lower priced stuff, I bet GC is more motivated to stop the big ticket items.
