I never got the CSS email. Should I be worried? I did order at 5pm today, might be kinda early.
This time the Apple rep (Jeff) was quite good. Didn't blame AT&T at all. Admitted that he had no idea why Apple's internal system decided to arbitrarily cancel my order at noon. He checked the possible reasons (multiple orders, upgrade eligibility etc) and basically just said "Who knows". I appreciated the candor.
He also said that there have been many of these and that they will submit the order again with the same order number. He claimed that these orders are being prioritized and we may have to wait until the 25th but that we should get one of the initial batch.
Who knows.
Anyone else have a different experience while trying to get this resolved?
Nope, I waited on hold for almost an hour with an Apple rep while she submitted a request to have my order reopened and it was declined because of AT&T being the one who supposedly cancelled it. The Apple <--> AT&T system is not very friendly it seems to either Apple or AT&T, neither party knows whats going on with the other or anything... you would think they would have a more general system setup for fixing problems, etc.
My order was cancelled! I called apple as soon as I noticed, was on hold for an journey before anybody came on the line... The rep said that it was because AT&T cancelled the order because I ordered FIVE ...
Snip
...Oh and now I just got TWO emails from apple saying my order was cancelled be cause of problems authorizing my account! Whatever!
I received this from Apple around 6:30 this evening. I am not happy. No chance for being late on payment because I am on automatic payment. This was the 2nd phone on the family plan - a black 32g.
