Subject: So, about swag bags...

G-Bread

I've been out for a week, and I was wondering if there are any left? I had wanted to pick one up, and I heard they were being restocked.

As of now, nobody knows if there are any left. In the last wave that was sold, Amazon's marketplace experienced major technical difficulties. Bungie's latest tweet on the matter said even they had no idea how many were sold. They are sorting things out and will let us know what happened.

A few scenarios-

1: There are no bags left
2: There are still some left and they will be put on sale at a later date
3: More people placed orders on June 30th than there were bags available
4: Bungie may somehow make more bags (unlikely)

That's what I would like to know too. I've been working/going to school for the past week and would like a chance to grab one too.

Scenario 3 worries me the most i can only hope that tomorrow brings my confirmation email...

Oh my god. I just realized that my swag bag order is gone. And yes, I was one of those who ordered on the 30th from Gorilla.

Wtf

"I am Caboose, the vehicle destroyer!"

I'm not too worried about the confirmation email. I bought a BBBB shirt and the I Need a Weapon poster through the Bungie Store, and got confirmation emails from Bungie but NOT from Amazon. I got no confirmation email whatsoever for my Bag (though I bought this through Amazon's one click ordering rather than through the Bungie Store, which explains that) All of my orders seem to have gone through fine.

Still, scenario 3 worries me a bit lol, but I'd think 1 or 2 would be more likely. Anyways, it takes about 3 business days for an order to be processed/shipped, so most of us should know tomorrow what's going on.

Edit:

:O Are you sure? Was there any sort of payment issue/disgruntled relative which would have canceled it? And what time did you order it? Both the "gorilla" bags and the original bags were restocked throughout the day. My only reasoning behind this is that if you bought it towards the end of the day, maybe there were actually more people who placed orders than there were bags (wild speculation on my part)

Bungie and Halcylon confirmed the "gorilla" bags were legit, so there shouldnt be any issues for those who ordered them.

Sorry for the wall of text

TBH No. I did receive an invoice and since everyone who ordered from Gorilla also received an invoice I thought I was fine. Some even said that uf you got your invoice that you would be fine.

I did send them an email right now. I'm worried about this.

Edit: It seems that my order is perfectly fine when I look at it through my Amazon app. Still, this has me worried.

Call customer support tomorrow. If its not showing in your amazon website orders that could be bad i don't know. We will all find out our fates tomorrow haha.

If you still have the order number, send an email to the Bungie Store. All Amazon can really do is confirm that your order went through. They'll tell you to contact the Bungie Store for specific questions on your order since they ship it.

Edit: Idk about the Amazon app. It shows that I ordered my BBBB shirt on Jul 2, when I clearly remember ordering it July 1.......just saying it might be a bit wonky......Hopefully its just a website error. Go to your orders, and click the drop down menu until you find "2011". That should show your entire order history. Hopefully its there

Posted by: Raptorx7Will do, though I'll probably chat with them.

Edit: whoops, sorry if this got a bit off topic GrayBread. My guess is that stuff will be sorted out tomorrow-ish. We'll see if there is any more swag to be had

Oh...

Well I emailed them on July 1 regarding my swag bag order. They never answered back.

Btw I just checked my amazon app and the order isn't there anymore! Oh joy!

I emailed them on July 1 as well, but it was after their business hours were over, and they had the day off today, which means theoretically they should get back to us some time tomorrow....I hope.

Well those are somewhat "good' news for me. I just hope they actually do answer back.

Thanks for the help Cheesy.

No problem man. I hope you hear good news. I managed to snag a gorilla bag as well, so I'm feeling a bit uneasy about it myself. Hopefully its just some random error, and Bungie got your order fine.

And hopefully there are a few bags left so some more people can get them :D . If not remember guys, there's still plenty of sweet swag left in the store (especially those posters)

Lol I just received an email from Amazon. I'm surprised they help you when it's the middle of the night (where I live, of course).

Here's what I got:


Hello,

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you had accessing your order. After some investigation, I think I've identified the problem. You have 2 Amazon.com accounts with the same e-mail address and different passwords.

This can happen if you visit Amazon.com and mistakenly indicate that you are a new customer when you sign in--a new account with the same e-mail address and different password will be created.

I've checked your accounts and noticed you placed this orders in your other accounts.

If you're signed into one account, you won't be able to do anything in the other account--including viewing or changing orders, accessing any gift card funds, etc.

If you can't remember the password for your other account, we can reset it for you. Just go to our Help pages, click the "Contact Us" button on the right side of any page, and choose to contact us by phone:

http://www.amazon.com/help

Once you reset your password you can access your account and view the order details.

We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Cheesy, I'm an idiot. I just remembered my other account's password and I was able to check my order. It's not gone haha.

Hopefully we still get our emails answered.

i'm sorry if I caused any hassle :s

Good to hear man you had me worried. I figured all of our orders would start disappearing. Once again though looks clear for now confirmation on our orders tomorrow.

Haha I'm sorry. I'm still confused at how I created another account. Oh well.
But yes, I do hope Bungie tells us everything tomorrow.

Lol, that sounds like something that would happen to me. Also don't be sorry, I'm just some dude browsing a forum at 12:44 in the morning, its not like I had pressing matters to attend to :P. Helping people is what the community is here for.

Anyways, I'm glad to see that your order didn't get deleted. It reassures the rest of us that got gorilla bags, and makes my point 3 that I listed in an earlier post less likely. So there still may be some hope that bags are still left for people like GrayBread and others who didn't get them (Not trying to get your hopes up guys, but there still might be a chance that a few are left).

Chances are, there actually is a small amount of swag bags left.

But that's just me. :s
