Borders Shas
« on: May 26, 2011, 05:47:45 PM »
It seems Borders has taken the full set of Artscroll off the board and now only sells single Tractates.  Any ideas if they will be offering it again (r maybe if I just missed it.)  I wanna know if it pays to Plastic Jungle for the future?

OMG, they probably lost a ton on each order using the promo.

Do you think they will cancel the orders?

Sorry Dan - I tried finding it website itself by putting in Artscroll - maybe I missed it or maybe only from using the link can you still get there.

It looks like you can't browse to it or find it by searching anymore, only a direct link works.

Dear Regalhome,
Unfortunately, one or more of the items that you ordered has been cancelled either at your request or because the item(s) are not available.
Your credit card has not been charged. If you paid with a gift card, the funds have already been decremented from the gift card; therefore we will mail a new gift card number which will take up to 10 business days to receive in the mail. Borders Bucks redeemed at the time of your order have been added back to your Borders Rewards account.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,
The Borders.com Team

I guess they can't afford to lose more money :'(

From the comments on the main site, it seems they haven't been shipping Artscroll books for some time now. If you have any borders giftcards it's probably a good time to cash them out now.

I hope the people who purchased Borders Plus don't have an issue getting a refund.

they did not take it off the website. do a search for talmud, then sort by price high to low and it will come up.

it is just as available as it was last week!!

Strange that the price is now 1799(before any discounts)...Why would they lower it if its not going to be fulfilled anyways.

Use code BXG7422N to get 40% off.

The code doesn't do anything. It still stays at 1799.
