Every year we go through this. We offer one of our TV sets as a pre-order online. It clearly states in bold, BIG letters that it is a pre-order and the product will not be shipped until it is released in March. Usually, the fans go wild and start pre-ordering. Two weeks go by and suddenly, I'm getting angry emails on why their order hasn't been shipped yet. Last I checked, today is January, right? The release date and ship date on the website is March. Huh.
Not only this, on their invoice they get through their email, it states that it's a pre-order and ship date is in March.
Yet, I still get pissy and angry emails on why it hasn't shipped yet. Every single day. Does no one know what the meaning of pre-order???? Has anyone else come across this?
