Well, Fingerhut took my order late last night for an additional unit (prior they always claimed out of stock). So, perhaps they have some new units in.

FYI,
Bill

How much is (or was) FH asking? It's not the $499 price that Salton wants, is it?

They don't actually have any I think. When
I called this morning the woman said they were in stock.
But after taking all the order information
the computer said they had none.

The price was $199 (plus an 'unknown' shipping and handling charge, I presume under $30 os so). The system did take the order, and they haven't cancelled (yet). Prior to that date they were always out of stock on the site, so something changed to get them to claim in stock (and hopefully that something was actual stock!)

Best,
Bill

Persistence helps,
I have been calling Neiman Marcus for the past week 2 times a day and surely, last friday, they finally took my order for an ePods for 199 and said that they are expecting a shipment this friday and hopefully will be able to send mine out. So right now I have an order for an ePods which shows backorder status and hopefully they will not cancel my order and LET ME HAVE MY EPODS !

BTW: call 1-888-888-4757 and ask to order item number NMOF1_N0218 and see where luck takes you...

Good luck...

NM has more backorders than items they're expecting in this week, so they're not taking any more orders.

PocketSNES,
Yah, they told me that before, so I just kept on calling until they finally took an order from me. So does not hurt to give them more tries. Besides, they usually pick up the phone rather quick so it should not take too much work to just crank call them once in a while.
That's how I got my name on the backorder list. And from what I know, once they put you on back order, the chance of receiving one is kind of high.

Anyway, don't give up

Neiman Marcus sent out my back ordered ePods this week. I had ordered on 2/8/2001 so it took a while but they did come through.

I had initially placed an order for 3 units from NM in January that was cancelled. I re-ordered just 1 unit on 2/21 and the order status just recently changed from backordered to completed and shows an arrival date of 3/23 (must be duct taping it to a llama courier for delivery or something)
