Kady Mae Junior Member USA 261 Posts	Posted - 17 Oct 2002 : 12:26:37 Okay ... The good news. I'm finally getting my powermac DP 867. It's just that it's getting here next week. And why is it getting here next week? Because because my billing adress didn't match the shipping adress mastercard had on file, and it took several phone calls and my sending a jpg of my credit card statement to get it sorted. This is the Billing/Shipping Adress I entered c/o Alternate Reality Comics 4800 S. Maryland Pkwy ste. D Las Vegas, NV 89119 This is the adress as it shows on my CC statement: c/o Alternate Rlty Comics 4800. S. Maryland Pky ste. D Las Vegas, NV 89119 - 1117 **** Okay. Stop laughing. Yes, it is clear to anybody with a brain that the two adresses are the same ... but this took me several long distance phone calls on my dime at the crack of dawn to get sorted. 68K's liberated: 4 68Ks adopted to loving homes: 2 PowerMacs adopted: 1

Call back now and demand that they ship it TODAY so you get it TOMORROW. Do not get off the phone until the supervisor 6 levels up agrees to it! That is the most absurd customer service gaffe I have ever heard of in my life, get their names at each level and threaten to send it in to Leno and Letterman! :rolleyes: jt ™.

SpaceBoy Full Member USA 631 Posts	Posted - 17 Oct 2002 : 13:00:35 Who is it that's being so stubborn? Apple? Or your credit company? Either way, I too bet that, if you make a big enough stink, they'll ship it out faster. Just a thought... Either way, once it gets here, man, you're gonna rock! :-) SpaceBoy PS Keep in mind that, if when it gets here you don't like it, I've got a nice Quadra 950 I'd be happy to trade for it...

Delay #1 was my credit card company's fraud protection unit just wanting to verify that it was really me making a big charge since my typical balence is about $200. Delay #2 was 3 days of adress snafu. GROAN. And yeah, its too late to bust chops over free shipping. The package is now enroute 68K's liberated: 4 68Ks adopted to loving homes: 2 PowerMacs adopted: 1

Because the address probably had to be interpreted by a computer at some point, which probably thought they were both different addresses. Either way, good luck and have fun with your new G4! -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 6
Kady Mae Junior Member USA 261 Posts	Posted - 20 Oct 2002 : 09:07:00 Well, the tower and monitor should be arriving tomorrow. But ... Tomorrow afternoon my dad's coming into town and we have preview tickets to Bowling for Columbine. (SpaceBoy, if you'd like to see BfC, just go to Ralph's store, mention you work with me at the library and ask for a preview ticket.) 68K's liberated: 4 68Ks adopted to loving homes: 2 PowerMacs adopted: 1

Wheeeee! I'll stop by later... Thanks a bazillion! SpaceBoy PS Glad to hear that your system is on it's way... My PowerBook might be home tomorrow too..... <fingers crossed> AppleBASIC FOREVER!
