After getting the 3rd "delay in shipping, needs approval" email I think its safe to say the multiple "Alive again" posts are feeling a little pet peeve-ish @Dan @jj1000 @mileagejunkie

Got the same emails, but one of them actually eventually shipped.

I ordered in the first round. I dont fully understand how Amazon businesses work, but this seems very sketchy.

Was that the first round? I saw it for the first time Dec 7. So maybe it wasnt the first round, but definitely an earlier iteration of "alive again" How many "alive again" posts were there on this deal?

Yup, first post was 11/29. Not sure how many there were, but based on Amazon saying are honoring it, don't see any reason not to keep bumping it.

Amazon can say what they want. The seller must fulfill. Have had deals in the past that Amazon cancelled after months of delayed shipping.

+1, they don't even tell you, the order simply disappears from your history.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

When I find awesome price mistakes and people complain about the ones that don’t ship. Definitely a pet peeve.

I’m kidding, I just had to ;) I’d be annoyed as well if I had ordered it.

When the actual content of emails are buried in ridiculous signatures and ginormous disclaimers. It makes a simple email thread grow into pages and pages  >:(

That edit ruined my joke as well unfortunately... But I needed to respect a DDFers wish for anonymity.

You can't tolerate people that express themselves in other languages?
