« Another XBOX 360 Inventory Tool | Main | 1/31/2006 - 7:55 PM Get an XBox NOW! »


UPDATE: It shipped today (1/31)

I was checking out xbox.clambert.org today, and was randomly hitting 'referesh' and it happened. I noticed an online retailer move from 'out of stock' to green 'in stock'. I could not believe my eyes. I figured it would be one of those 'bundles' I've bitched about in the past.

It wasn't. It was an xbox premium system for 399.99. I QUICKLY added it to my cart, and checked out, not paying much attention. At the end, with shipping my order was $436.xx, I was wondering what had happened to bump it up so much, and then I saw that in my rush to get an order placed, they had added a stupid protection plan for $30.

I quickly called Kmart customer service, got a live agent in like 15 seconds! She informed me there was no way to remove it, and I'd need to cancel and re-order. So I decided to visit the product page again, order, and if that one worked cancel order one.

This time, I ordered a bit slower, ahhhh there it is, uncheck their product protection plan, use a different email (to differentiate the order, so I don't cancel the wrong one) and submit.

Worked like a charm. I cancelled the orginal order.
