Okay here is the deal.

If you have a complaint, issue, are looking for information, want to discuss, argue, flame or any other reason for posting about freepay and the 360's. Post it here. Posting outside of here will result in temp ban. Since every other thread gets locked down sometimes for good reasons and sometimes for not, this thread will not get locked.

I'm going to close the other threads that are open. Feel free to start over here.

Enjoy.

what makes me laugh is that this is prolly the last thread anyone will prolly discuss the 360 situation in.

I just wish the customer service was a bit more personalized. Not just from the Xbox360 issue, but in general. I've been Processing (and now Pending Approval - glitch) since 1/27 on a white iPod video, and when I sent something in a couple of days ago, I got one of the textbook scripted answers.

On their sites, when they are having inventory issues, they should have a meter, like

What we have ----------------- goal #

just to let us know the rate at which they are getting their hands on the items for the bulk shipment

I dunno, the site could just be a little more personal.

Still say May for the 360's. Maybe I will hold my breath until they come - no wait I would die... I just say everone sit tight it's not that big of a deal...then again I am not some 15 year old kid with no loot waiting impatiently for my 360 to come from a company I prolly used my ma's CC for...

I'm just annoyed I missed out on major resale time. I'm still planning on selling the thing.

egyptianruin · Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2006 6:48 am Post subject:

Thats what I initially wanted to do as well, but now it's a present. If I had sold it back when demand was high I could have made a little profit on it, but I am happy I didn't because we kept our preordered one and now we're getting the free want for his best friend so they can play together online...men Laughing

Claiming they cannot buy them in bulk is now officially BS as well. I truly believe they are simply not trying to get 360's until they just fall into their laps. A friend of mine owns a major gaming chain (lan party type place) and just received a shipment of almost 1,000 xbox 360's. He said he had two sources to purchase these from, both which stated they would ship within 2 weeks from order date. If freepay really wants to get 360's, then they should expand their sources to something beyon efulfillment or whatever they use.

I agree if bestbuy and futureshop can get them then why can't Freepay? Like they will have majority over them but Freepay should still be able to get tons.

I don't think they have remotes.. b/c I remember seeing that on Freepay too.. and then when I went and bought my Premium system..no remote..and I was like.. WTF? Freepay said it came with a remote..so I think they just messed up on that one.

I can see where your frustration comes from. However, common sense does not tell me Freepay is doing everything they can. I disagree that waiting on one bulk shipment is the way to go. Yes, a smaller shipment would hardly make a dent in their queue, but if they had been doing small shipments the whole time, how far would they be? More importantly, people would see that an effort was being made. If all units are bought at retail cost, where's the disadvantage?

I don't remember if I personally complained about the remote. If so, it was a knee-jerk reaction, and I apologize. That is beyond Freepay's control, and we should not expect it of them.

I guess the thing that gets me the most is that other companies are finding ways to make their customers happy. If every other site was still waiting on shipments and not offering alternatives, this would be a different story. And the "we have more customers" excuse can only hold water for so long.

It sounds like Jake is willing to check in to other vendors, if someone can give him some leads. However, I bet it takes a lot of time to look into a vendor to make sure they are legit -- selling small groups of high-end electronics just sounds like an opening for a scam.

Seriously, if someone can give Jake a good lead on a reliable vendor for the xbox360s, I'm sure he'll follow up on it.

Jake; Back when I was in the video game business (aka, worked at a video game rental store) we used to do heavy business with Ingrammicro. Have you guys looked there yet? We also did business with Tech Data. At the time (when the PS2 launched) they were both able to hook us up.
