Hi Jack.

The cheeky buggers didn't even reply to my purchase request via email - complete with credit card details.

A bit sad as I had a few jobs to tackle with that book.

Your car's lookin' good. I'll borrow a digital camera and put a posting of my freshly painted silver SC up soon.

See ya, Bill '79SC.

Jack,

Yeah, I received an email indicating my order was cancelled. If you don't need all three copies, I'll be more than happy to purchase a copy for a reasonable amount......meaning you can make a small profit from it!

Thanks.

My order was also canceled. Now I'm waiting for my credit card bill to make sure they didn't post a charge.

I ordered one on the first day of the original thread. It was cancelled just yesterday. Oh well.

Mine was cancelled also.

[SeaDweller]

Mine was cancelled yesterday also, and I ordered it a long time ago. I really wanted/needed the book, but after all the money I've thrown at the car recently, I simply can't afford the $100 to buy one...

Yeah, I was screwed as well.

For all interested here is your contact concerning this:

Kristine Webster [KWebster@2HQ.com].

I personally emailed every single person on the contact list (from the CEO to the webmaster address) they maintain at ProductParadise. ALL were answered from the very same email address.

This estore is a shim, a go-between, a drop-ship outfit that performs the work. Was you experience with PP and Myweborder.com as pleasent as my own? Were you well served by "The Friendly Staff at MyWebOrder.com"?

Oy!

I would strongly recommend calling the company and climbing the ladder of customer service a little bit asking them to honor the price they posted. There's been big lawsuits over this bait-and-switch tactic.

Well I never recieved my book either. I had placed my order shortly after Jack so I was really hoping. Oh well, Jack certainly deserved to get his copy, afterall he was the one who came across the "bargain". After 3 consecutive days of emailing them I finally recieved a response that the item was out of stock. I would of rather recieved a response such as "We erred on the price, but we will sell you a copy at our cost of ???". Anyway the search for a BARGAIN continues. Thanks for postiing the tip anyway Jack.

Saw this thread when it was younger and did not have time to respond. Still don't. I got a confirmation that my order was received, but the confirmation did not admit it was shipped. I sent an e-mail asking about status earlier this week. No reply.

I'm gonna needle these folks (one of my sharper skills) but it looks like I'll need to do that with physical correspondence instead of the electronic variety.

I sent a new inquiry about by order which was only "modified". They promptly replied the order had been cancelled. That it was their normal policy to cancel any order they could not fill within the 7-10 day promise date. I would sure like to see a copy of this policy. A company could go out of business quick by cancelling 7 day old backorders.

Just got my "modified" order status. Cancelled. Replied with strong "Go to H@#*, and take your website with you" letter. FWIW

just got my order cancelled e-mail. Strange that most of us ordered within a couple of days of each other yet the cancelations are rolling in over a couple weeks.
