I ordered a few DVDs on sale a week ago, along with another item. The DVDs were on backorder apparently, and I've already received the other item. How long do I have to wait for this to get fulfilled? From everything I've read, it seems like the only way to actually get your backordered items without them being cancelled and refunded (I paid with a giftcard, I hope if it comes to that the card would retain the value?) is to raise a stink about it.

So hey, when am I getting my DVDs?

Every time I've ordered from this website there's been some sort of issue. Never happens with any other site, big or small. No wonder the company's not doing so well.

hello?

Someone will be assigned to your issue typically within 3-5 business days of when you post your message.  Then it can be 5-7 business days before they reply.  Please have patience.

Backorder typically means they may or may not get the item again. In the case of DVDs they are hunting around for a wholesaler to buy them from so they can complete your order, but if there aren't any then....

The wait time can be anywhere from a week to 6 months to never.

If your order were cancelled, you would get a new gift card issued, the card you have, once used, can only be reloaded by whoever has the card in their physical hands.

Hello thesubverse -

Sean from our Social Media team, will be reaching out to you regarding your order. Thank you for your continued patience!

Hi thesubverse,

Thanks for reaching out to us and I am sorry to hear that the DVDs you ordered are currently on back order.  I know that I would be curious to know when the rest of my order was coming in.  Using the email address that you registered with the forums, I was able to find the order and I did take a look at it.

It looks like at the moment, we don’t have any further information on when they will be coming in.  We can certainly either wait to see when it comes in or we can cancel the order.  If you used a Best Buy gift card, the funds will be returned to it and if you no longer have the card, we can reissue it.  If that is something you’d like to look into, please let me know by sending me a private message.

Thanks again and let me know if you have any questions.

The system is not allowing me to PM you, saying I have invalid HTML in my post even though there is no HTML in it at all.

I have cancelled the items by logging into my account. I still have the gift card used to make the purchase. When can I expect the money to be refunded?

Just click the send button again after it says that.

Did several times. It didn't. Even closed out the browser after clearing cookies. It still didn't.

Hi thesubverse,

Thanks for getting back to me and I'm sorry that it seems the PM's haven't been working.  I looked into the gift card and it should be refunded now.  The balance appears to have been returned to the card and if you don't see it, please let me know.

Thanks,
