Does this sound like bait'n'switch to anyone else? by carthax2005-02-08 20:50:08
  Here is the full text of the emails so far... by carthax 2005-02-08 22:48:32
THEM (as a result of me sending them an order information request)
250GB EIDE WD OEM w/ 30 Days warranty is back order, we can replace with distribution drive that inlcudes 3 Year WD direct warranty cost you only $19.98 extra.

We will upgrade your shipping via Priority 2ND DAY AIR at no extra cost. Let us know asap.


ME
Just get me the drive I ordered. Let me know how long the back order is going to take, please.

THEM
No ETA date for OEM drive.

ME
Then I think you should be able to replace my ordered drive without charge, since the drive I ordered and paid for in good faith is not available.

...does the term "bait and switch" mean anything to you?
