Members Ouzhewen Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 Just got shipping confirmation and tracking number email from MF on Blackout Tele...Should be here early next week then. I haven't received my order confirmation on the Tele, much less the shipping confirmation. What time did you order? I ordered at 4:25 am (pacific time) I wonder if they are just behind on the verifications because so many of us are buying these teles.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CSR gave me the order number right off and I was sent an order acknowledgment e-mail about a half hour later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ouzhewen Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 I wonder what could be taking so long.. Maybe I'll call them back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members buckethead99 Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 Mine was ordered and confirmed at 1:00 CST.The Lady,Cheri,said it was a Strat so I had to correct her. Great deal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 I wonder what could be taking so long.. Maybe I'll call them back.. Yeah making me nervous actually. I would be pissed if the customer service guy didn't put my order in actually. I am used to seeing order confirmations within the hour, so far, nothing.

I am used to seeing order confirmations within the hour, so far, nothing. Same here man.. I called MF and the CSR told me that the confirmation is usually sent in 24 hours (but I have been ordering from them for years and the confirmation numbers comes within an hour).. I ordered the Tele with my MF card at 4:25 am (because of the 12 months interest free) and I placed another order on my regular credit card at around 9 am.. I have the confirmation on the latter, but not the former.. I wonder does it take longer to process orders on the MF card? Could someone confirm or disprove this theory?

Members buckethead99 Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 I think MF is probably short on staff today because of the Holiday.Just a guess,Until you get a email confirmation from them though you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 Good thing I checked back as my card was declined as I mistakenly gave them the wrong expiration. Had I not contacted them I wouldn't have found out it was declined until too late after the deal was gone. As it was they said even though my order was in at 8am or so had they ran out before I called in an had them charge a different card I would have been SOL. Thanks Ouzhewen for making me skeptical enough to call MF once it appeared it was taking way too long to receive my order confirmation. Once I talked to the verification department at MF, once I got off the phone I checked my email and there is order acknowledgement. Life is good now.

Members Burningleaves Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 FWIW.....I used a reg ol' MasterCard to place my Blackout order. But I am very surprised that some people have not gotten an E-mail acknowledgment recognizing that the order was placed. I have yet to get an e-mail saying it's shipped out but I don't expect that today anyways. I don't hold to much with the tracking number either. I have had their site say they had no info on tracking the order while at the same time the mailman was walking up the stairs and put it the box.

They didn't really go out of their way to let me know until about 3 days later.... At any rate I called them and they said everything was cool with my order and that the axe should be going out this afternoon some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Made of Cones Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 MF has B-Stock Epi LP Special IIs for $99. There's probably $99 of stuff in there for you guitar autopsy types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IBDBB Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 well, I was just told by a CSR rep that the Worn White Melody Maker deal is done. They said Gibson called them and told them to take it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhynster Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 Regarding why some orders go through faster than others... I'm not 100% sure but I believe it may have something to do with the difference between using a credit card or a check card. With a check card, they put a hold on the card. The cash isn't in their hands until the next day though. With a credit card, I believe that's instant verification, so those orders may be getting a head start.

Members Woody_in_MN Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 well, I was just told by a CSR rep that the Worn White Melody Maker deal is done. They said Gibson called them and told them to take it down. Well - this is rather disturbing. We had some forumites that were sitting on the fence on this - kind of stewing on wheter to pull the trigger. I ordered mine on Wednesday. They said the had quite a few in stock then. Has this happened to anyone else? - w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woody_in_MN Posted July 3, 2009 Members Share Posted July 3, 2009 ^^^UPDATE: I just called MF to check on my order for the Melody Maker (which is fine - in transit), and my CSR said that they still had MM's in stock but that "Gibson is not letting us discount their products anymore..." I don't know what the impact will be going forward, or when and if the deep discounts will return on the Gibson products - I don't think the rep knew either. But I thought I would pass along what the CSR told me at 5:15 CT today (07/03/2009). - w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
