BigBusa Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Finally a UBid screw up in my favor! I recently bought a lemon HK reciever from them. I will be sending it back as soon as the UPS prepaid shipping thingy arrives. I've been scouring the net again in search of a decent HT reciever for around $500. The only ones that I really liked were the yamahas because of their "loudness switch" but a bit too much money for me to be spending right now. I got this rather strange email from Ubid yesterday. Dear Valued uBid Customer: You recently placed a winning bid on uBid.com. We would like to inform you that we are currently upgrading our order processing system to better serve you. A small percentage of orders that were converted to the new system did not update in a timely manner. We are re-entering your order and no action will be required on your part. During this process, your "My Page" will display the original order as cancelled. Because the new order is being manually created it will take 7 business days to appear on your My Page. The new order will be issued with free shipping due to this delay. We anticipate all items will be delivered no later than November 30, 2001. If you decide to cancel this order, please respond to us by November 19 at maimailto:Order_cancellation@cs.ubid.com We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we thank you for your patience and understanding. uBid Customer Care "UBid customer care" is a big time oxymoron! It seems that I actually won one of the Onkyo 787's I had bid on back in mid October! At that time they told me I had been outbid. They're just getting around to telling me now almost a month later. Normally I'd be furious that they are placing this $500+ item back on my account as an active order awaiting credit card processing. However, their timing couldn't be any better and with the free shipping ($46) I'm digging this! As long as I don't get another refurbished Ubid Lemon ... ------------------ My system thus far: 1980 Cornwalls (mains) 1990 Heresy II's (rears) 2001 KLF-C7 (center) 2001 KSW15 (Subwoofer) HK AVR 510 (reciever - Going back soon!)

Craig6519 Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 I won a bid on an Acurus a200x3 amp on the 18th of October, My Page said it shipped on the 24th of October, well it's now the 17th of November and still no amp Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM135 Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 Too bad the K/K did not work out for you. The 510 is an awesome HT Rcvr. Maybe a 510 from OneCall.com would be an option--the are on special now for $575 and still showing availability. Maybe a bit more than you want to spend but still a relatively decent deal. I think it even includes free FedEx shipping. Any, just my 2 cents worth...
