So, you ever THINK you pre-ordered?

[russde]

I saw the posts about the green PM2 being sold out and felt a little relieved because I had been considering putting a second one on pre-order...now the pressure is off right? So I go to my paypal account to check the balance and find out what other temptations I might be able to pick up without burning the CC.
That's when I noticed that there was no transaction from KW on my history tab...WHAT? I cannot believe this! I must have not clicked the confirm button or my connection got reset without my noticing. I was on the KW website on the 16th, matter of fact, I posted it here after seeing the notification on the Spydie website forums...so I should have been one of the very first pre-orders...sigh
Off to sulk...at least I have my blue PM to console me. &^$%#$@#$%$%&(*

Knifeworks also sends you an email receipt showing your $20 deposit fee when the transaction is complete.

Major bummer. Hope you get one for a decent price when it comes out.

Major bummer for sure... In the past I too missed hitting that confirm button and didn't complete a paypal transaction. That's why now I always go look for the confirmation email from paypal. The paypal confirmation email never takes more than a couple of minutes to show up in my inbox.

interesting. i got a receipt on mine from paypal and from kw, but i ordered something else they show in stock and i've gotten no shipped email. i was wondering if something went wrong....but i ordered on the 17th of feb, so i figure it's only been a couple days, and they'll get to it when they do. might give them a call to double check after today if i see nada.

i almost didn't order one, cause i already got a para 2 in cts-20cp and a standard version....but then i decided since i missed out on the m390 (which you didn't), i should bite the bullet. the good news for you is spyderco is releasing so many variations of pm2's whether sprints and/or one like this kw's deal, you can bet the next version will be as good or better, so.......i'm here to cheer you up.

plus you got the m390 version.....and other than blue or green scales you missed out on nuthin. now you'll have the cash for the next version. that's they way i would look at it.

KW always ships really quickly in my experience (same or next postal day), so my guess is that it's already gone out and they just didn't update the tracking info for some reason. Depending on what time you ordered on Friday the 17th, it may not have gone out until Tuesday the 21st due to Monday being a postal holiday (Presidents Day). Assuming that's what happened, you should be receiving it any day now.

Yep. JBMonkey, check your order history in your KW account on their website.

Well Ashley just e-mailed me...no, I didn't dream it, there is no record of me placing a pre-order.
But, on the upside, she has me on the backup list (hate to hope some folks don't follow through...but a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do).

thanks for the tips, fellows. i just checked status shows nada, on their site, so i sent them an email. my guess is it got overlooked being a deposit and an item? no big deal, i've dealt with kw many times and always gotten great service. no worries here.

to the op, you can almost bet a few will change their mind or realize they can't afford it, etc. and hopefully your on the top of the backup list. good luck.

That's almost certainly the issue. You probably overlooked it in the excitement/rush of putting your pre-order in (haven't we all? ), but for future reference, any time KW has a deposit/pre-order up, the instructions on the item page say that the deposit/pre-order should be purchased alone rather than with other, non-pre-order items. So the way to do it would have been to put the deposit/pre-order in your cart, complete checkout, and then place another, separate order for the in-stock item.
