Just got off the phone with Amazon and they accepted my A-to-Z claim and said they will issue the refund immediately and I should see it in the next 1-2 weeks.   I'm glad this is nearly over.    

Good luck to the rest of you.  Everyone please post your responses from Amazon so we can see how they deal with all of us.

Oh BTW, I noticed on Amazon's site that when you attempt to invoke the A-Z gaurantee through the web site (Through that "Problems with your order?" link) it says you have to wait at least 30 days from the day you placed the order.

On the phone they have been telling me (and I assume others) that you need to wait a couple days after the last delivery day which is only 23 days or so.   I've tried to submit a claim but it yells at me over the 30 day thing.  

Next week, when the delivery period expires I suggest that everyone call Amazon rather than try to submit online because it will probably deny your request and tell you to come back in January.  I hope that next week the CSRs don't tell me to call back in Jan, I think I'd throw a fit

Well I just got off the phone with Amazon.  At this point I am really disappointed with Amazon's response to this case.  A-Z gaurantee, blah blah, it's not past my latest possible delivery date, blah blah.  The person on the phone actually tried to tell me I might still get my item by the 24th.  I laughed at her.  I realize she's just a phone drone and doesn't care about the situation, but still.

C'mon, give me a break.  You know that chances are Amazon is the one that closed jpettins shop down and they probably caught the fraud before he got a penny of the Z monies.  Now they are just sitting on our cash and giving us the A-Z bullplop story.  Ya gotta wait 4 weeks, no really.  

I believe that I'll be able to get my money back from Amazon, but damn, I wish I didn't have to deal with it during my holidays.

  Otherwise, we as_a_community should try to set up a group buy of the SL 6000_W_ through Pricejapan or some other importer once the bluetooth drivers are cracked. 

Good luck getting that for 400-450 though, the thing is on pricejapan now for  USD $874!

(That's with shipping and taxes etc.)

No luck for me.  They said they would investigate but that I had to wait until Dec 28th to invoke the A-Z gaurantee.  

I may give it another shot in a few days.

I hope they are able to avoid paying this huckster.

my order says :
Shipped on Dec 2, 2004

(click the "need to print an invoice?" button)

My order says the same thing.  I don't think Amazon actually knows when someone ships it, they just put that there because by taking your payment and notifying the Seller that you paid, they have completed their part of the transaction.  It is still up to the Seller to ship your item and I don't think they get a chance to modify the status of the order.

  A very varied selection of products (since Amazon is having trouble, clicking on any of the links shows all sellers as "not available", but if you take the cached versions of the pages, you'll see "jpettins" from VA showing up a lot).

Used to be selling...

Check out what (S)He is hawking now:
http://www.amazon.com/seller/jpettins

That's right, not a single thing.  That's been like that since before Amazon's problems started this morning so I doubt it's just their database.

In addition, I ordered my unit the second day they were available and by attempting to add 100 units to my Shopping Cart I was able to discover that jpettins claimed to have 49 available at that time (When you attempt to order too many Amazon shows you an error and then reduces the number in your shopping cart to the number actually still available from that seller).  So the payoff for this scam maybe a bit more than $6K.  Perhaps the "17 units" sold so quickly, jpettins thought to put another 50 up for sale.  

I know we need to give this time and see if anyone receives their unit in the mail, but I think I've actually convinced myself that this is a scam.


*Along for the ride with the rest of you*

I ordered one of the $300 units as well.  I don't want to worry anybody, but the seller who was selling it no longer has a single thing listed for sale on Amazon. (S)He used to have 100+ dvds listed.   Hmmmm...

*sigh*   I want to believe my Christmas wish is gonna come true and my Zaurus willl arrive. But I get the sinking feeling I'll be screaming @ Amazon early next month instead
