A Christmas Story!!!

SURVDEC8 Valid through 1/16/09

There's still hope. I placed an order from Dell and it said it would ship on 1/2/09 and I received it Wednesday. WooHoo!!

Well, I ordered it yesterday (It was the only place I could find it) and they told me it will make it here in time. It shipped via Fedex today, so I've got my fingers crossed and thinking good thoughts

When ds18 was little he told us he wanted a REAL monkey

Anyone bought anything from JCPenney.com lately? How fast it their shipping? They have Guaranteed Christmas delivery if ordered by today but I'm nervous because it is a gift for my mom from my dad and he would flip if it doesn't show up on time. I called customer service and they said it is in stock so it will be here in time. Just wanted to find out everyone else's experiences with their shipping. UPDATE: So the order arrived today via Fedex (they left it at our door because we weren't home). The box was DESTROYED!! Ripped completely open, and not at the tape, the actual cardboard box was ripped So I opened it to see if the product was damaged. It was a knife set, and the knife block looks ok but the box the knives are in is torn up too (not as bad, just a little.) but the knives appear to be ok. The problem is, the outside box is the ORIGINAL box that the set comes in and is torn up to the point it is unusable. Not going to be a very nice looking gift. So I called JCP customer service. They told me that they could send me out a new set overnighted. GREAT! Then she proceeds to tell me that they would charge my credit card for the new set and would only credit it back once I return the 1st set to the store. WHAT?!?! I used my check card for the purchase and don't have an extra $161 in my checking account for them to take and then wait for them to credit me back(we don't use credit cards)!! It IS Christmas time and I've paid for the item once to be presentable. I calmly explained this to the csr who told me that's all she could do unless I wanted to keep the set and they would credit me $32.10 so I could get a nice box to put the set in. So I asked my dad and he was ok with that as long as the knives and block were ok. Not the best solution (I would prefer a presentable box for such an expensive knife set) but a solution none the less.

WOW! I can't believe that many people haven't received their gifts yet I hope they will arrive soon.

The snoballs were good too, but the kids ate the whoppers and milk duds before I even got to try them LOL:tongue1: Candy doesn't last long around here;) My ss couldn't have sent a better gift! About the boxes though, they are cute, but I haven't seen them in stores around me. Our Walmart must not have had them or sold out of them FAST.

My Grandma passed away last year, but before that we would always buy her scratch off lotto tickets. It was something she used to enjoy while we were growing up and no longer was in her budget. She just liked to scratch them off :)

Christmas Vacation A Christmas Story The Santa Clause Jingle All the Way

Sorry you had such a bad experience with Red Octane. Guess I have been lucky cause I have ordered from them several times and never had a problem. But I HAVE had a problem with their warranties. GH is made by Red Octane so they are who you deal with for the warranties. Well, ds18's guitar wouldn't work and they gave him a return authorization # to send it in for a replacement. After 2 months, still no guitar. So he finally called them because the tracking # showed they had received it 5 days after it had been shipped. They told him to give them the tracking # and they would ship a new one. So he gave it to them and within 5 days, he had the new guitar. What made me mad was the fact that even though they had given him a rma# and a prepaid packing slip, they were not going to replace it UNTIL he called them.

Hope you have a speedy recovery and get to feeling better by Christmas :)

Thanks!

DS6 told Santa he wants a drum set and some earplugs for mommy Hope I get them!! Cause while he wants a drum set, his brother wants the World Tour Band set (drums, guitar, etc) for the xbox 360. It's gonna be a LOUD Christmas here LOL

Blue vs grey and red vs brown are both showing in stock for me

I don't know much about them, it's for my nephew. But from what I have seen price wise, it seems like a really good deal.

I was just coming here to post this :) Here's hoping it makes it here site to store by Christmas :crossfing

I got my ss gift yesterday:) It was filled full of goodies! Thank you sooooo much ss!! My sweet tooth loves you (and so will my dentist LOL) I will try to post a pic later, don't have the time right now but wanted to post that it has been received and LOVED:)

Thought you could use a little music with your song Sorry, but I about spit my pop on my computer screen reading you "singing" your song LOL

We had a problem with our UPS driver last year ( I posted about it) He left an expensive package at the end of our lane IN the TRASHCAN during a snowstorm. I found it by luck the next day, COVERED in snow. I called, the supervisor apologized and talked to the driver. The driver came back to my house YELLING at me. I never called back to report it because I kept thinking the guy might have a family and kids depending on his job for Christmas.But we now have a new UPS driver, they changed his route.

It's pretty much like the doorbusters now since the scripters found out about it. New accounts are winning them all.
