Re: Steal of a Deal: Sales and Discounts at Online Retail and Brick-and-Mortar Stores

So...has anyone who took advantage of this deal had their item actually ship yet? I placed the order Monday afternoon. A FedEx label was made that same day, with delivery scheduled for Wednesday the 9th. As I look now, my Target account still says Wednesday the 9th delivery, the money has been taken from my account, and it still sitting ( presumably) at a Target distribution center just a few hours from.my home. Fedex hasn't even picked it up yet.
I did this online thinking that, surely, this is such a good deal, the one Target near me that carries Titans would be out. Nope they had 2 in stock today.
I just hope this isn't one of the occasions where Target realizes they messed up with the stackable discounts, and cancels/ refunds orders.
Also, Amazon is running a deal almost as good right now. Prime members can get Metroplex at 24% off, plus an additional $38 dollar coupon at checkout brings it to about $125 after-tax. At this point, it might be worth the extra $10 or so for the reliability of Amazon over Target. The only downside is estimated delivery is December 1st, so you have to wait a couple of weeks.
