Yes, just because you have a tracking number doesn't mean the package has left the warehouse. The tracking number is created and issued from their system before it ever goes anywhere. You will need to just keep checking to see if the item is actually in transit.
As well as the number of negative feedbacks and amount of bad publicity Tiger Direct would get from this would outweight any monetary value that they received by overcharging for these processors on launch day. It would be a completely bone-headed and imo the worst marketing mistake a company could make. The other thing is that as most people will tell you the majority of people that post reviews about a product/service are the people that have a negative review about it. Tiger Direct would literally come up with hundreds of negative reviews. Also when I called them the person on the phone said he had 440 of the E6700 in stock, and as you can see all of those are now sold out. I assume they are just backlogged on the shipment and our tracking information will come up as "origin scan" or such.
You guys are making me feel better about overpaying for a retail 6800 a couple weeks ago. At least I avoided the scramble.
Almost went that route myself in frustration today, but Kentsfield is just too close. Very irritating product launch, that's for sure. ;)Quote:

damn lol
ps : i think you were right man, this thing is crack for Geeks
I have some of that today too, but I'm more of a gamer so I get amped for next-generation GPU launches above all else. Getting juicy already for G80, and the R600 a bit later, can't wait for the DX10 battle to begin. ;)Quote:

i plan too change Video card next year when DX10 will be used wider and video cards will be cheaper (mid to high segment)
You guys look at the ZZF page? E6300s are now listed as "delivery august 7th".
If that includes the one I ordered last night with next day air that was "in stock". I will never stop talking sh@t about these people.
Edit: NM doesn't apply to me, I got my tracking number.
A friend owns a shop and this is the information he got today on the C2D.
There is supposed to only be sales today (27 July) on Extreme 6800 and the launch Date on the E6600 will not be until the 2 or 3 week in August with the 6300, 6400, 6700 launching on Aug 7,2006. I should say that there are reseller's and distributes that have them in stock but Intel has emailed them all saying they can not sell them until after August 7th with the 6600 being on August 14 or 21st.

Called up zipzoomfly today and the guy said they are supposed to be getting their E6600's in on monday 7/31.. but again, I believe they won't ship them until the next monday 8/7 :\ BAH Intel
i feel like intel will be banking on our excitement for this chip...
they've picked up on our trends of buying the lowest clocked chip with equal cache to the higher models with intentions of OC'ing. they saw what we did with the amd opty 165, X2 4400, PD 920/930...
they will hold the E6600 hoping that those that were looking to buy that will want it so bad that we will just bite the bullet and purchase a 6700... they know we wont step down to half the cache, only up... BS :mad:
Like Intel really cares if you're pissed off or not... in the end you'll still buy it and they'll still take your money :stick:Quote:

Those who are buying a E6600 are doing so out of what they can afford.
Im getting a 6300 to hold me over.. it will be a great cruncher when it gets retired in 3 weeks :)

If anyone who ordered their E6300 from zipzoomfly gets a tracking number that shows in-transit, let us know! I wonder if they are still shipping out the ones they sold before they put the "Pre-order" disclaimer on the page.. If so, maybe they will put the e6600s up at some point w/o a pre-order page (unlikely yeah..)
Anyone that got a tracking # from tigerdirect show any info for their tracking number? like in-transit or anything.
*Update
Nevermind my tracking # just became valid.
Didn't you get the memmo? August 7th is the delivery date, I knew that from two weeks ago, so I'm not going to bother to order one till mid-August.Quote:

Now, all I have to do is to wait till August 1st because that's when the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W ships out, I can order one now but I'll wait and then I'm all set for Conroe..........BTW, I already got my Tuniq Tower 120.:rocker:
ZZF is the best.
i have just bought mine from auspcmarket here in australia and when they say instock they have it and will send. they are sending mine today so i will have mine on monday.

Although I heard they will have more ready to ship tomorrow.
