When I received the "error" messages, I just kept hitting my back button until I got to a screen that looked familiar.. persistence paid off... I've received "one" shipping confirmation... (I never received an e/m notification, but I did get to the completed page of the website and my cc does have "pending" charges...) <-fingers crossed!
and I haven't seen it on here yet, but there was a coupon on www.scrubbingbubbles.com [scrubbingbubbles.com] for $2.75 off of a scrubbing bubbles action scrubber and my paper had an insert for FAR... so it's a good way to make an extra $2.75 on each...?? (especially for those lucky ones receiving the Bzz campaign...)
EDIT: Scratch that. I just received an email that my order has shipped. 1 book (I never placed an order for just one book).

Sooo, I wonder how many orders I really have out there in their lovely system. Cuz let me tell ya...I hit that back button, submit order button...quite a few times!! I could have, literally, 100 books coming my way! GG......

I have 6 orders that went through checkout just fine and rec'd confirmation emails, that my order was placed. One order has shipped (2 different shipments, guess they come from different wharehouses)

But I have I think 7 more that have been charged (2 of them twice), but never got the order to officially go through just the error at the end and no confirmation. If they go through thats great, I will give my double order to my SD buddy. If they dont go through no biggie, just as long as the charges drop off, they (my bank) has told me before 10 days for them to drop off.

I did get one order to go through last night, Used a Different computer, new email, hubby's name and his charge card, and it went through. I am anxiously awaiting some shipping notices though.

Have to run to the PO, no Target for me until Thursday and then I have to use up a ton of diaper q's or let them go to waste, eeekkk

So sorry it was rough on you, I processed two orders, thankfully I have two emails, I forgot a needed school book the first time, so I got a book dd has to have for school for $1.99, I only had to errors while processing my orders, guess I got in on it early enough. I just wish dh had time right now to browse for himselfFrown

Haven't checked my bank account, but sometimes that happens, check your borders account and see if it shows two pending transactions. No need to wait on the bank you can see if there are any on the Borders site under account info.
borders account shows NO transactions at all. i now have 3 charges pending in my bank account. shake head
do you think i should wait until these no longer say 'pending' before calling? in other words, wait until Borders has actually gotten their money to complain?
Quote from sillygeese :
I really think it is probably a time of day thing, I did mine in the morning before noon. I may just shop for some books for xmas gifts today.
i started checkout around 12:30 yesterday afternoon and spent 4 hours of frustration with error messages, 'cannot process' and 'please verify payment method and shipping information' messages. and in the end had 2 charges of $12.95 for the transaction made to my bank.
tried again at 2am last night, site was running much better. got completely different books, not as many, under a different email. everything went through just fine until i got to that final page and got a 'cannot process at this time' message. knowing the issues with the other transaction, i immediately checked online bank statement and the $13.99 is pending for this new one. i only tried the 1 time - and checkout told me borders was 'unable to process'. obviously they were able to process something because i've got charges pending for a transaction that told the consumer that no order could be made at the time. shake head

again, i haven't received any emails whatsoever and the borders website shows no transaction history at all. i printed out the order summary pages so i have an order # along with book titles and sku's if it comes to calling. the transaction i did last night was done as a guest, no account, so i have no idea if that's saved in the system at all (i know it's not on my side). i know.. not a very good idea, but it was the only way i could check out without having the order combined with the cart from the first order. the first order has got the order # and everything, but if anything is changed at all to the order it never gets passed the first checkout page. it gets the 'this action is temp unavailable' or whatever it is message. the only way of making a 'new order' is by hitting the cancel order button or deleting stuff from the cart (don't know if deleting and adding stuff would work) - neither of which i wanted to do. because obviously i DO want the books i ordered and don't want to cancel. laugh out loud

so, for the first transaction i still have a cart of books. and the second i have nothing because it was done as a guest. but i do have printouts of both transactions from the order summary page showing the books, shipment info, order #, transaction $$ and all that.

i'm really hesitant to try this again until i see what happens with these charges after the pending status changes. we just don't have the spare money to make 10 different transactions, get charged for them all only to receive 1 of the 10. and then go through process of getting all that money back. DH is mad at me enough with these 3 charges as it is. vomit
they are either going to go through and i'll get the books or they are not. but at the risk of having more $$ being held in our account ($$ for pending transactions is not available for us to spend elsewhere), i really can't justify trying it again.

any suggestions in regards to these pending charges? do you think waiting it out and see what comes of them is a good idea.. as in, what until the charges are finalized before calling? (or call before charge finalization to ensure getting the orders pushed through, which could also risk them getting cancelled?)
i do want the books and have decided if i get the books from the double charge from the first transaction i won't mind getting those duplicate books as i can just give them away as gifts to other kids in our family. (would rather get the duplicate books than call and point out how cheap i got them all for.) if these orders get shipped i'll be beyond stoked and this crap will have actually been work it. nod

i suppose that because i just don't know what is going to happen with these pending charges, i am for lack of what to do in the meantime. i guess really.. is i want assurance i'm going about this the right way. would any of you do this differently? i've never gone for a really hot online deal such as this before so not sure how the 'experts' cope with difficulties.

Hmmm, I don't know what to think now. I'm sorry I don't have any words of wisdom for you, other than I might wait before calling. Give it a day or two and see if you get shipping confirmations. I don't have any email confirmations from them, nothing is in my order history, and today I received one shipping notification that one book has shipped.

I'm a little scared now, thinking of how many times I hit that back button and submit button because I kept getting errors. If you did it 3 times and have 3 pending charges...yikes! I could have 10 pending orders with 25 books in each!! Lord knows I don't need 10 Barbie Animal Magic paint books!! I "think" there was only one order that I actually had to pay for anything. Most of the orders were for "$0" amount, so nothing is showing on my credit card right now. No pending charges as of yet.,

Most of the orders were for "$0" amount, so nothing is showing on my credit card right now. No pending charges as of yet.,
2 of the 3 charges are from the first transaction. through all the frustration and errors during that 4 hours i was trying i never got all the way end to checkout - always got some error message or another on that last page. but found i'd been charged for it twice. it had 30 books, mostly dr suess.
the 2nd transaction i did last night i only tried once, tentatively. got error message that it couldn't process. yet pending charges were on our account after only that 1 try. OMG this one has 25 books, mostly berenstain bears.

i emailed my sis in chicago about it - and the fact its not so much that i may not get these books. every deal like this is totally ymmv. i'm just ticked funds are being held and i have no idea if we're even getting what we're paying for yet. basically, if the site is telling people orders can't be processed fine, whatever. but don't be charging customers when you say you're not! sheesh.

but omg if these go through it'll be so awesome. most of my books were free, too. i wouldn't otherwise be able to get these books for my son - they're so expensive! i got mosty dr. suess and berenstain bears books for him. plus 1 book for me and 1 book for sis in chicagoland i've been wanting her to read because its so good. Stick Out Tongue
(if i get them i'll send the duplicate kids' books to her for her daughter)

also.. currently my one saving grace with dh is that the transaction $$'s were so little. if they'd been $50 each or something, yeah.. i'd be getting roasted for sure. but they are $12.95, $12.95 and $13.99. not enough to break the bank while waiting to see if they go through.

and dm, if you get 10 orders of the same 25 books that's hilarious. i thought it was bad with my 1 order being duplicated in charges. i guess you won't need to worry about christmas gift or donations this year.. Big Grin

hmmn, the majority of my books were "pre-orders" (for pretty much the next 6 months! laugh out loud )... and I chose "ship as available" to the store so I "should" be receiving the shipping notifications this week... there were a couple books that said "leave warehouse in 4-6 weeks"??? but most said that "est shipping date 7/31-8/?"?? don't really remember as I was trying to haul bootie through the checkout before the cancelled the code... LMAO

Yeah, I started ordered when the code stopped being "expired" the first time around. My first few orders were done before the code took off 5 for every item, so a bunch of small orders with 1 or 2 items in them. Then when it took off each item, I was slow to order more so now I'm sitting in the waiting game with the rest of you.

Wow, strange what happens when you're on vacation for 10 days. I know I've missed alot...I never went to T last week, only to CVS to spend expiring ecbs and to WG to pick up a necessity or two (near our condo). Still don't know what the T deals for this week are, if anyone sees anything great at T, PM me please. I have tons of coupons expiring this week.
