I called CK customer service because this blasted 'back-ordered' thing was driving me nuts and nobody was answering my emails to CK CS and Mr. Worner. So, Monday comes and I can call!<BR/><BR/>John from CS told me that the original 4,000 kits had not all been received from the manufacturer. If you were placed on back-order, you would be getting one of the original 4,000 when CK got their second shipment in to the warehouse.<BR/><BR/>Therefore, if you are on back-order, you WILL get a kit.<BR/><BR/>I know it doesn't help all the people who didn't get any kit at all, but for those of us who have been disappointed and confused about 'back-order' status, I thought I'd share. We're getting a kit!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17839553974554281468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645528666204974735.post-10687789655936059442009-01-11T16:14:00.000-07:002009-01-11T16:14:00.000-07:00kaylaX - I'm in the same boat.I got a $0 confirmat...kaylaX - I'm in the same boat.<BR/>I got a $0 confirmation email. I then got a confirmation email and my CC was billed. I called and they told me that I was actually on 'backorder' and that the charge would be removed until they shipped ... but the charge is STILL there.<BR/><BR/>Repeat: The charge is STILL there and they told me I won't be getting one for 4-6 weeks.<BR/><BR/>Yet, they also say on the blog and Mr. Worner's reported emails that they don't know if they're ordering more ... how will they get me another one if they don't order more? Are they lying? Whose story should I believe?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17839553974554281468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645528666204974735.post-70795286965514721402009-01-09T15:53:00.000-07:002009-01-09T15:53:00.000-07:00For those of you waiting to get a tracking e-mail ...For those of you waiting to get a tracking e-mail you may want to go ahead and call CS. I actually received two confirmation e-mails on the 1st, although I only wanted to order one kit. I sent an e-mail to CS explaining this issue that day, and still have not received a response. Furthermore, my confirmation e-mails had no information except an order ID, so this concerned me. <BR/><BR/>So, with all the buzz lately about kits being shipped, and tracking e-mails being sent (which I never received), I decided to break down and call CS this afternoon (only had to wait about 10min). The lady who answered my call tried to look up both of my order ID #s, to which she stated they were not in the system. I was very pleased however, that she offered to hand enter my order, and stated it should ship in 4-6 weeks....better late, than never!<BR/><BR/>Just wanted to share, as I haven't read about anyone else having this exact experience yet. Best of luck to you all, and keep shooting!bmvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12769839101280256250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645528666204974735.post-86941026140196953822009-01-09T07:44:00.000-07:002009-01-09T07:44:00.000-07:00They are not updating because they the amount of p...They are not updating because they the amount of people who come back to an older blog date will dwindle with each day.OdessaW.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11183287827967089237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645528666204974735.post-78706532201941280932009-01-09T07:41:00.000-07:002009-01-09T07:41:00.000-07:00This is ruse to diffuse.

Before Becky blogged it, you can bet CK already has talked to their lawyers. The international callers and all the people who have been negatively been affected(?) this should start tying to NEWS TIP this to all your newspapers in hope that one of them who find this news worthy.(I have been sending it to SEATTLE TIMES, DENVER POST, EVENING). If everyone starts contacting the same papers it might make a BUZZ and someone will see it as a public interest story. If it goes public then CK may be more likely to respond. I may be wrong, but had the rep not told me no one was manning the phone, CK would not volunteer anything. CK is probaly placing odds right now on how many days it takes for this to be forgotten.OdessaW.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11183287827967089237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645528666204974735.post-2416660444585627422009-01-08T20:41:00.000-07:002009-01-08T20:41:00.000-07:00Fellow scrappers,If your credit card has been char...Fellow scrappers,<BR/><BR/>If your credit card has been charged and you do not receive the kit within 4-6 weeks from the date of charge, pls keep this link handy. It’s the Federal Trade Commission website that details how you can effectively dispute the charge.<BR/><BR/>One of the things to note particularly about this article is that the charge has to be disputed “within 60 days after the first bill containing the error.” Another one of note is this: “By law, a merchant should ship your order within the time stated in its ads or over the phone.”<BR/><BR/>Re charging without shipping first, I did some research and evidently, it is NOT illegal for a merchant to do that. It is bad practice, but not illegal. So be aware now of what actions you should take.<BR/><BR/>I am not directly accusing CK of bamboozling anyone because I really have no way to know what the company’s intent was in regards to this issue. With the crippling network problems they had on Jan 1, it is difficult, if not impossible, to determine what glitches actually occurred with people’s orders and charges to their cards.<BR/><BR/>So, pls visit this website, print it out and learn NOW what you ought to do if you’re faced with this challenge.<BR/><BR/>Link: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre28.shtmlizacreateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00313612230598468322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645528666204974735.post-23128955021333562642009-01-08T17:23:00.000-07:002009-01-08T17:23:00.000-07:00So not only did the people that where sopposed to ...So not only did the people that where sopposed to be answering international phone lines have a vacation that day, but, some people that ordered multiple kits are getting just one, and some that ordered just one are getting multiples, and, now they are actually charging (not authorizing-that was done on my account for the last few days)our credit/debit cards for kits but saying that we might not get them for another 4-6 weeks. Hummmm Isnt that like adding salt to a wound??? Oh and lets not forget all those people in the U.S that tried and tried to get kits but couldnt. And I also have another idea, if this kit was sopposed to be 365 days starting somewhere around the 1st of January then I think this kit should have been sold in December so everyone could start on Jan 1st.!!!! And I dont know about anyone else, but that $47 dollers that is tied up could have been used already to go and get my own 12x12 binder, and page protectors so I could do my own 365 day kit...

I called customer service to find out of I had a kit being shipped since they actually charged me (the amount has actually cleared my account, its not on hold or pending)and I was told that I wont get a kit for another 4 weeks. So they have my money but, and I dont have a kit. It was to my understanding that they werent going to charge for a kit till it shipped!!!!! So they have taken my money and given me just a promise that I will get a kit sometime in the near future, maybe. If they had not charged me then I have no problem but I do have a problem with them taking my money and giving me nothing in return.....

CK messed up and forgot that pre-ordering is best when promoting something soooo big but those that got there kits put it on ebay and it's us the bidders that run the price up. You don't like it don't bid on it. I've lost three bids already. Over my budget money wise. My husband is in the military too and is leaving this next two weeks. I have a new born and two other boys. I'd love to have the kit to make it just that much easier for me to record our life for him to see and to help him feel more a part of us. I just don't think that we should be so quick to snap at "those that sell it on ebay" they're selling it to someone that really wants it. Obviously more than me. I can't pay $200 for it. But I was willing to pay $80. See that's my choice. Pay or don't get. <BR/><BR/>Personally I'm focusing my frustration at the pre-order issue. That and the laundry, the dirty floors, and all the dishes that my boys make. That's the real spirit of this project. To make us see our everyday life. So I'm going to suds up and clean the dishes of a 21 mo old and enjoy it because when I blink he'll be 10 and running out the door. <BR/><BR/>Happy scrapping!EmilieAnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311433615832625899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645528666204974735.post-42836828393981547122009-01-07T19:44:00.000-07:002009-01-07T19:44:00.000-07:00so it seems as though i do have 1 kit coming to me...so it seems as though i do have 1 kit coming to me. that i am happy for. however at the time i did place my order for 2 kits. one for me and one for my sister. i wanted to do a nice thing for her as she has done so much for me. i called her to see if she was going to order that morning and she said she couldn't as she had a negative bank balance. so i was finally going to do something nice for her as she has done so much for me. anyway i finally got through to CS today and they let me know that the order only says 1 kit. which i just can't believe. how is it that some people seem to be getting doubles when they didn't order doubles and i can't get the order that i placed. not to mention the fact that i must have been one of the first to order. so why, when i spoke to the CS person did she tell me that my kit wouldn't be shipping for another 4 weeks? and then the money has already been taken ut of my account! she said it was a pre authorization....4 weeks ahead of time? come on. it's a mess. it sounds like some people already have theirs on the way and have not yet been charged. so why have i? this is the last time i order from CK. something is not right. did they need to take pre-order money to fulfill their order? what is going on? and why can't they just fix everyones orders? if someone ordered 1 kit and they are now getting 3, why can't they honor my true, original order??????? i want what i ordered and i want what i've paid for. is that too much to ask?Noeleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190851866842359410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645528666204974735.post-24675621223026609242009-01-07T15:31:00.000-07:002009-01-07T15:31:00.000-07:00After reading all the nightmarish comments about t...After reading all the nightmarish comments about the ordering process for this kit, I decided to wait it out and see how it played for me at which point I also resigned myself to think I was not going to get a kit. But I was okay with that. After all it's not the first time something has sold out before I got to order it. <BR/><BR/>When placing the order the system crashed on me several times. I began the ordering process right at 9:oo MST and it took me half an hour just to get the order submitted. Then I received only one confirmation email with a complete total. I never did receive another email but I decided to wait for all the hysteria to settle down before contacting customer service. So, I just called, got a rep on the phone in less than a minute and to my surprise a package was shipped to me and the tracking info on UPS claims it will be delivered tomorrow! I guess my patience throughout this whole process paid off. <BR/><BR/>Either way, I continued taking my pictures and trying to figure out another way to create this project if I didn't get the kit. I understand how upset everyone is and yes CK dropped the ball on this one, and they definitely know it now. Let's give them a break and be patient. There's not much we can do about it now. I waited almost a whole year to get that stamp KOTM after it sold out and I've only used it 3 times since! And to the people overpricing the kits on Ebay, just remember karma's a bitch and it people like you that have put this country in the sad economic state it's in.

I had received a "pre-order" email, and I was calling to see if I did in fact have an order. He said I did, and that it was shipped yesterday. I didn't get a shipping notice email, and he said that the system is dropping emails, so some people aren't getting shipping notices. Ugh. <BR/>So, my advise is to try calling CS and inquire about your order status. This guy was nice and answered my burning questions (Do I have an order? When is it coming?) and said I'd probably have it by Friday since I'm in AZ.<BR/><BR/>I'm crossing my fingers for everyone!
