couple things:
1. if your card gets charged and you didnt pay via paypal, congrats, your order is getting shipped
2. if your order status says fulfilled, it's getting shipped for sure
3. if it says shipping soon, it might still get cancelled.
4. the earlier you order, the higher chance of it shipping, but dont be surprised if ppl who ordered after you from a diff uni got theirs and you didn't. it's all luck.
5. tax will be charged on the full msrp of the pencil, not a huge deal

what's the weight of that D&H pkg? It could be just the pencil.
Oh it's definitely just two pencils. We'll see what happens next, but at the very least my confirmation emails show the pencil being a cost of $0.01 each.

I order 2 early but didn't see the pen offer so I cancelled them. Then my internet went out and by the time I reordered those were canceled. Oh well. I made somebody's day.
How did you cancel?

Cancelation Reason: Cancelled - We're sorry, this item is not available.

Order cancelled a few minutes ago. Placed the order this morning! Everyone will have theirs cancelled.

2 orders cancelled for the 11". The 13" showed cancelled online but I didn't get the same cancellation email. Instead the email stated " Thank you for your recent order. We are attempting to process your order; however we need to talk with you before it can be completed. Your payment method has not been charged."


I emailed them as directed and am waiting for a response. Anyone got the same email?

You probably got credit card hold for multiple high $ transactions. Did you get a fraud alert?

Mine got canceled. I still have an order from June 23 that says in process, not ready. No charge on CC on any of them. Very strange how it's all random. Not sure why they didnt ship past orders but decide to put it on sale again. Maybe some universities get priority

I just got the cancellation. the reason they provided is that the model is no longer available. I just check and it's possible to still buy the same model but at retail price. This was fun though.

Nope. I did have this order shipped to a different address from my billing though.
