Well, this just keeps getting worse or better, I can't decide. So, I just hung up with SBB, asked to discuss my order. After the rep confirms my order number, name, phone #, address and email address, he then asked me what I purchased. I answer. He then asks me what form of shipping I had selected...Ok, I'll play; so I answer. He then tells me the order will ship by 2pm tomorrow eastern standard time. My replay was "what?", followed by..."hold on; what is the price of the order?" He answers with the price that is on the original confirmation. I'm sitting there stunned and give a quick "good bye". I go back to my bank account, the initial charge was taken off during the middle of the night and shows no current charge pending. WHAT DA?
I'll keep you posted on how this unfolds. This is the craziest purchasing journey I've been on for sometime.

No really, THAT is "unpossible" as someone I know says, but for sure a new all-time record for USPS, especially since GlobalWare Solutions Inc actually uses UPS Mail Innovations to deliver the packages to the destination city, then they get delivered by USPS to the individual addresses if you select the free shipping option, otherwise it is shipped door to door by UPS or FedEx depending upon the paid shipping method selected.01-31-12 01:34 PM - Well, I just overnighted a check to them so we shall see what happens.

I am not mad at Shop blackberry, in retrospect we all should NOT have been using the promo code, though without knowing the back story and orgin of the code we really didn't feel like we were doing that much harm.....
I will have to wait for the next playbook or another crazy sale!Last edited by teeuwen; 01-31-12 at 02:19 PM.
01-31-12 02:08 PM - LOL, thanks for the screeny fj, but really all that says is that some package was delivered to somewhere in GA without showing when it was shipped or from where it was shipped much less what was shipped, but my comment was actually about the unbelievable or "unpossible" speed at which SBB (or the United States Postal Service for that matter) was able to deliver anything given their track record here.
01-31-12 02:09 PM - Go back and re-read what you said originally and then re-read the screenshot in that context....LOL, thanks for the screeny fj, but really all that says is that some package was delivered to somewhere in GA without showing when it was shipped or from where it was shipped much less what was shipped, but my comment was actually about the unbelievable or "unpossible" speed at which SBB (or the United States Postal Service for that matter) was able to deliver anything given their track record here.01-31-12 02:23 PM
- Listen, sounds like you are trying to turn this into something that is was never intended to be, but the screeny stills only says that package was delivered on a particular day, nothing else about where shipped from, etc, so it really says nothing, but I really, really do not care, my post was a jab at USPS, nothing more, nothing less.

- I am disappointed in the process (and whomever posted it elsewhere that opened the floodgates lol). The CB community handled it respectfully. Timely emails would have allowed many to take advantage of other local discounts, while not the 20%, still worthwhile to make it less than the current pricing.Just for the record,

I search out discount codes all the time and don't really give any thought to additional criteria (like working for big Blue) but if there were criteria readily known I would have honored it. It's usually minimum shipping I am worried about (ever notice how there are very few 5 cent items to put you at $50)? I have never had a code work and then cancelled; they either work or don't. A discount code is a discount code is a discount code. Screw-ups are costs borne by businesses, not the consumer. At least directly!
At least I already have one!01-31-12 03:18 PM
