Vostok 7 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hmm, well, as a retailer, I'll give our end of why we prefer pre-orders. It helps us know what quantity to order so that we don't order too much and get stuck with them in our warehouse. Why is pre-ordering good for you guys? Because by helping us better manage stock, we can keep prices low.Now in regards to ordering the VE-1 from HLJ, their price comes out to $83.51. Umm, and we've got them on pre-order for $79.99 and we're in the U.S. so you're gonna pay even less shipping and not have to worry about getting a defective one, 'cause if you did, we'd take care of it for ya. So my recommendation would be to pre-order and support your MW retailer. Buy it from us, buy it from Kev or any of the other great retailers here, but overall, my recommendation is to get your pre-order in because although they are not 'limited', overall demand naturally makes them limited. That sounds great.... except us foreigners have one heck of a time putting the billing address down.... that even when retailers take foreign credit cards. Ahh, that's why we have a "Comments" field during checkout so that you can put in the complete address to your heart's content lol. The only reason why I like hlj is because all they ask is for the shipping address.... no billing or anything. I never understood why they could do that while most other e-tailers had to ask for billing address. Umm, well, in the U.S., when you process a credit card, you verify the card by matching it with the billing address. The credit card processor will tell you if it's a match. And many people have different billing addresses (such as a P.O. Box) than their shipping address (such as their work address, etc.) Also, some customers purchase items as a gift and want it shipped to someone else. I have no idea why HLJ doesn't ask for a billing and shipping address. But hey, they're in Japan, I don't know how things work there. I see. Oh well.... by the time the Hikaru 1s comes out... I will give my card a try with one of MW e-tailers. I just had to keep this going..... Lol. It's like when you plug a camera into the TV and then point it at said TV. i play along, focus more....getting sharper I didn't know the new MW forums could do 3D!! Gawd!! That IS freaky!!!! can we have...more? This thread is so toast! Can't we stop this please? ... Vostok 7 Just testing the limits of the boards.... move along <_< Vostok 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
