They didn't call me back.
Seems the deal is not good for them.
Edit:
Rang them and told them that I need the PC, have to go to somewhere else to purchase it.
They promised to call me back in 30 minutes.

 

[misi]

Done.
Needed a little push but finally they accepted the deal.
Expected arrival: Thursday.

 

[okeedokee]

I told you how good apples were, didn't I?

 

[misi]

I told you how good apples were, didn't I?

Yes, you did.

I don't have the willpower for such a big change.

 

[TeeEm]

I told you how good apples were, didn't I?

[misi]

Expected arrival: Thursday.

Maybe just before midnight?

 

[aye-aye-Chris]

Expected arrival: Thursday.

Maybe just before midnight?

Maybe not, maybe tomorrow. Today is a pubic holiday +l

 

[misi]

Today is a pubic holiday +l

Oh, noooo...
Thanks for the info, going to sleep now.

 

[okeedokee]

Not today....then there's the weekend......maybe Monday? Or Tuesday?

Cannot be...I trust HP...
They promised to deliver my monitor by 27/01/2017 and it arrived on 25/01/2017.
Promised to deliver the PC on 26/01/2017, maybe the delivery truck has a punctured tyre?
Dunno.
Maybe I should order an Apple???
No way...An old bugger like me cannot learn the tricks for a new device.

Grrr...
Calm down misi! You are using four months of your long service, can wait a few days for that PC!

 

[misi]

Seems it will come tomorrow.

 

[aye-aye-Chris]

Seems it will come tomorrow.

Saturday..... Hrrrrrm Probably Monday afternoon more like it.

 

[misi]

Saturday..... Hrrrrrm Probably Monday afternoon more like it.

Rather Tuesday afternoon or never.
After six phonecalls I opened a dispute to get back my money.
I waited 24 minutes on the first call to get some information about the expected delivery of DELAYED.
Unsuccessfully.

 

[misi]

They've told me delivery may be Tuesday.
After reporting them to my bank that I want my money back the delivery date on their site suddenly changed to Monday.
I don't know what will happen Monday.
The dispute to give back the money is on.
The box with the PC would be here, or would they cancel the delivery?
It will be an interesting day.

Probably Monday afternoon more like it.

You might get both, The PC & the refund.

Flying pigs will deliver them.

 

[misi]

You might get both, The PC & the refund.

Your guess could be correct.
Perhaps only/plus this gift from them:

What I know is that I would never, ever go to their price matching department again.

When they didn't call me back on the first day of this saga should ring a bell(or two).
I shouldn't call them again.
Simply should order it from the companies listed in my first post.

They withdrew $1 then $2400 from my account probably that was the problem.
The bank did not approve them.
The $1 "purchase" from them is still pending.

I've bought many things online or on the phone and never experienced such $1 trials.

It sounds a bit sus to me. Good fortune be your friend.

 

[okeedokee]

Apple wouldn't do that to you. Go on....be a good boy and ring Apple. They post same day.

 

[misi]

Apple wouldn't do that to you.

I'll do it, Okee, as soon as will be some worthy tablet or phone from them.
NOT A COMPUTER!
