Thank you all - you guys are great!

On Thursday 11/24 I ordered one of HomeDepot.com's Thanksgiving Special Deals... RIDGID 3/8 In. 18 V Cordless Drill Internet/Catalog #163973 Regular price $189 Special price $99.97 with Free Shipping. My total with tax came to $105.97. I got a confirmation email right away and my CC was charged $1.00 (pending). By Tuesday of the following week, when my charge card had still not been charged the full amount - I called Home Depot, I was told they had some kind of code problem and she would run my order through right away. She comes back to the phone and tells me there is a problem with my credit card (which is actually my Paypal debit Card). I knew I had enough money in my account to cover the amount... so I tried to verify from her that she was trying to charge my account the $105.97 she said she was and I needed to call my bank. When I checked my paypal account I found that she had tried to charge my account $204.96 "3 TIMES"! (trying to charge me the Regualr price NOT the sale price!) Thank goodness I didn't have enough in my account and the charges were denied! Once again I am on the phone with them. I try to explain what they did and I get put on with a manager who tells me not to worry about it - if they were denied then it's a done deal, "Have a Nice Day"... I say, "Wait a minute, what about my drill?" He says - "Oh, those are no longer available - I meant to send you an email, but it's better I am telling you in person." !!!! Now I am MORE than ANGRY! I tell him that it was THEIR fault that the code was wrong and they WILL give me what I ordered or something comprable. After keeping me on hold for 10 minutes he returns to the phone and says he was wrong - they did have them. I had to give him all my billing and credit info. aGAIN and I kept my Paypal account up to be sure I was charged the Correct amount... I was - this was on the 29th and he said it was coming direct from the manufacturer and I would have it within 1 week. Okay - done deal... NOT!!!!! This morning, 12/4, I go into Paypal to be sure I have enough to place an order for an item on Amazon and Low and Behold, I have an extra $105.96 in my account!!!! Home Depot has credited my account!!!!!!!!!!! No reason, just a credit. I call Home Depot, I give them my order number from my confirmation, I ask about the status, after 5 minutes of "checking on it" - I am told the order was canceled becasue the manufacturer is Back Ordered!!!!! I ask for a manager... another 5 minutes of holding - I am told there is NO Manager there! I explain my problem and ask what they intend to do about it - I am told "NOTHING... there is nothing then can do!" I tell her I was something comperable then - and am told that I cam welcome to pick out something else on their site - BUT - I will pay FULL PRICE FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be calling them once and hour EVERY hour today until I get a Manager! I am SO angry and Upset! This was going to be my Hubby's main Christmas Gift and now - NOTHING!!!! Avoid doing business with HomeDepot.com if you want anything under your tree this year! Thank you for letting me rant.

Same for me. :(

How about EGGNOG????

Me TOO!

Will not give $5.00 off with either code. Oh, well - it was a good thought

I have the gazelle, too - it's great!

I just got one of their catalogs... I have a 10% off coupon code - coupon # H17 says to enter the number in checkout on line - or give them the number over the phone. Hope this helps. (This is good till 12/31/05)

ABCFamily.com has their 25 days of Christmas starting dec. 1 (log in and enter their contest on the first - GREAT prizes and the Grand Prize is $25,000.00!)... My son & I have been making a Christmas video Library - (the kid watches Christmas movies ALL year long!) - I started watching them right before Thanksgiving... I Love them!

Inside is done - outside... not so done. Still have to get out my 8 foot blow up Grinch and my Light Up Candy Canes... kids say they want more lights... kids will Learn how to do it themselves... I am too pooped to pop and it isn't even December yet! Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Thanks - I did some shopping around since there is a flat shipping rate no matter how big your order is and found some Great Stocking Stuffers and little gifts in their clearance and seasonal shops and added them in as well... plus got my $.99 watch! Awsome Deal - thanks for sharing! :) :) :)

We homeschool as well - can't decide if I am going to pull an "all nighter" wrapping or sub him out to his Grandma for a day... She lives behind us and he likes to sneak up and peak! Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Thanks, you are Wonderful!

The hallmark thread was COOL (if the items get shipped...) - but all in all - it was a BUST - nothing like what I hoped for - SO MUCH HYPE! I got up at 4 a.m. to check out the deals - and I am still waiting!!!!!!

My daughter is looking for a GOOD Price on a Gameboy SP for her son. Walmart was sold out of the $49.95 ones on BF (BEFORE the sale even started!) - Haven't been able to come close yet in price to that one... anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the reminder - just got on and saved BIG TIME in the "up to 75% off" Gadgets... got some GREAT Stocking Stuffer, saved a bundle AND got FREE SHIPPING! Awesome Sale... at least I got a "Little Bit" of Cyber Monday - lol!

It's ALL OVER our news on TV this morning "CYBER MONDAY"... everybody get ready... Okay - I'm ready... Where is it?!?!?!? :confused: :confused:

Wow! Looks like I REALLY Overspend! I went light this year - spent $200 on mom, $600 on my 9 year old and $300 each on my 21 and 23 year old... Hubby will be around $350 when I finish... I think I will rethink next year's spending!

I got a 27" at Sears for $149.99

Awesome, thanks! Just got 2 of them for my daughter's boyfriends for Christmas... can't go wrong with a deal like this!

Sears was great to me!

My daughter got to WM about 10 till 5 and the gameboy sp systems were ALREADY sold out! She was NOT a happy camper!!!!!

Hubby went this morning to get the $99 desktop - he said it was a MESS! NO one knew anything and it took him 1 1/2 hours of being sent here there and everywhere to get the sheet to check out and then the checkouts went down so it all had to be hand written! They mail it all to you (after adding $100 in shipping!!!!) - I hope they get ti right or there will be some PROBLEMS! He was happy - but I was not! Oh, well - there is always Next Year!

The only one that we had in this mornings paper was from Freds... but I already new what was in there thanks to this board.

Always! Anyone need a Campbells Soup Set? LoL
