With the courage i mustered up from this group, new found bravery to do phone battle with the oversea forces that Circuit city employees, i made my call today, a mere 59 mins.....
My impression is that the costumer service did what they could do, and they told me that since i didn't click the link that i wasn't able to receive it (my argument was i didn't know a link had to be clicked, it never said it anywhere). Since the BF sale is over, theres nothing they can do for that price. I did speak with a supervisor who told me that one option was to cancel the order (with the order already shipped, 'd have to return it to a store.) And then repurchase it online because they still had the deal. The 'deal' after black Friday is $30 more, so much for a 'free' printer, But i figured a $30 epson printer is still a good deal in the end.
So, they transfer me to a product advisor who was friendly and nice, but the printer was all out of stock in my area. Now i can't even purchase the item. The agent, trying to be very through, searched the site and offered me up different cameras in stock that came with free printers (like a rebel for the bargain price of $760, a mere $600 more then my model). I politely declined that offer and other similar ones.
Since I do spend time in LA, i did a zip code search and found a pluthra of printers & cameras available in that location, so granted the sale doesn't end before i get there, i'll be the owner of one epson printer for the free price of only $30
