Pricematch vs Cancel Order + Repurchase

Hey guys. I'm new to the forum (so be easy and if there is a thread where this should be, don't call me a newbie because I already know I am one, and just point me in the right direction. Thanks!) and I have a question that requires immediate attention!
I just ordered an x230t. Like 10 hours ago. Sometime between now and then, the x230t went on sale...
Fortunately the reps were really nice and said they can just do a pricematch and they will refund me the difference. The problem I have arrived at is this: Should I just get the pricematch, or should I cancel my order so I can reconfigure a new machine with an i7, and still save a few bucks (granted a few bucks less than I would if I just did the pricematch)?
About me:
- I am 22, rising senior majoring in finance at a school in the bay area
- I am a cofounder of a web-based company 
- I do NOT do any gaming... of any sorts... not just because I don't like it that much, but also because I am awful at it
- I do not do any video editing or anything of the sort at the time (please note "at the time")
- I will mainly use the computer as a school machine (like word, lotssss of excel) and a work machine (video conferencing, presentations, occasionally lending it to my in-house designer? Maybe?)
Basically, I know everyone is going to say I wont breach the limits of an i5 machine. But keep in mind I basically live in my computer and ANY increase in ANY area will be greatly appreciated (and Maybe even noticed!). I would love to learn to use Adobe CS6. I bought it for my in-house designer and plan to install it on my Thinkpad so I can learn and the designer use it just in case he needs to. And the last unique point to make here is that I can have the i7 machine while spending less on it than what I was already OK with for the i5 configuration! 
So I leave you all with the debatable question... Pricematch or reconfigure with the i7?
Thanks for all your help in advance!
Solved!

Good morning,
my first question would be, who did you order the machine from?  If they offer the price match guarantee, inquire as to how you would be able to take advantage of it being that you have already placed an order.  Secondly, the i7 will definitely boost your performance if you intend to run applications that use all 8 threads.
The i5 processor has a base clock speeds between 2.8 GHz and 3.3 GHz.  The i7 has a base clock speed of 3.4GHz and cost a little bit more.  So it really all depends on your personal needs. 
I hope this helps.

  • Dreaded Canceled Orders for over a year!

    Hi,
    I have no idea why, but I am constantly getting canceled orders for the past year, and it is beyond frustrating (and clearly happening to many). It says that BBY can't verify my information. My information hasnt changed, so clearly it's not on my end. I've called more than 20 times and have gotten the run around. First, I get a rep saying my card didn't work...the same card I just used at CVS. Called my card company, and they said merchant never even tried. Decided to try later in the day, and same thing. Tried a different card...same thing. Canceled. Called again, and was told someone would call in 3-5 days...same story. No one calls. I swear I'm at my end. I'm going to use up my remaining reward zone certificates, cancel my BBY credit card, and use Amazon more than I do now.
    Why is there no solution to this ongoing problem?

    Hello TumTum39, 
    With the popularity of shopping online continuing to increase, I can understand why you may be frustrated with continuously having your orders canceled. Generally if you receive an email stating we were unable to verify your information, it was due to information not matching to what we have on file, or a spelling error.
    With that said, I was able to locate a few of your recently canceled orders. I am reaching out to our support teams in regards to this issue, and will reach back out to you when I have further information. If you should have any questions in the meantime, please let me know. I greatly appreciate your patience as we review this issue!

  • BB cancels order due to payment glitch - Customer Service refuses to honor

    After 2+half hours on the phone this morning trying to get the cancelled order reinstated and payment method corrected, Customer Service says 'too bad, so sad, go away & have a nice day, we will not honor the order'.
    If there's any kind of problem with your order, I highly recommend to call into a Rep if your order contains price-sensitve items.
    DO NOT follow the directions on the website nor in the emails. You will be extremely disappointed by (lack of) Customer Service.
    I was not trying to get something for nothing. I placed the order in good faith on Monday. Tuesday I see the email stating "a problem with payment". Following the directions, I re-enter my credit card information and resubmit (once). All appears well, until I check on the order this (Wed) morning. My order was cancelled. Surely, BB will correct this obvious error, considering a prior order on the same day went through just fine, I thought. After all, I'm trying to give them my business on a rather large Home Theater purchase.
    It was challenging just from the logistics of the phone experience. Must've been a busy morning and BB was also having phone issues. I waited patiently for the 1st answer at 25 minutes (VRU said 10-12), after explaining, the Rep tried to transfer me to a Supervisor for another 30 minutes. I was disconnected when one picked up. Had to cold call back in and endure another 15 minute wait (VRU said 4-7), the Rep tried to pull up notes from 1st call and gave up after another 10 minutes. After explaining, she attempted to transfer to her Supervisor for 45 minutes. I was on the call with her for ~80 minutes. When I finally spoke to a Supervisor, I was accused of trying to 'cheat the process' and 'ask her to commit policy violation'. She had facts, logs and order details in front of her and I was still treated this way.
    Ultimately, she told me there was nothing more she would try to do and would not 'deal with me any longer'.
    This is the absolute worst Customer Service that I have ever had. No attempt by BB to make the situation right by honoring the order placed on Monday.
    Request to BB management;
    1. Make it Right! reinstate my order.
    2. Fix your payment issues and process/policy for cancelling orders. Contact customers proactively when your systems fail and orders fallout.
    3. Fix your CS policies and escalation process. The initial Rep should have been able to resolve the order issue.
    4. Fix your phone system and/or transfer process.
    5. Remind your CS Reps not to insult/accuse your paying Customers. Potential churn is cheaper to keep than acquire.
    6. Your ad campaign is laughable "No one claims they are the worst." Your CS dept confirmed that you are far from the Best.
    p.s. Case# available if you want to research why I'm unlikely to shop BB in the future.

    Good afternoon drenken,
    After placing an order for a significant home theater purchase on Cyber Monday, I’m sure you were ecstatic in your shopping experience and couldn’t wait to receive your devices! It is utterly disheartening to hear that this experience may have turned into a rather dreadful one so quickly.
    I’m glad to hear that you were able to attempt updating your billing information on BestBuy.com. Generally this option alleviates some hassle for customers who would rather not contact us via phone to update such information, which can take some time given the high call volumes this time of year. It is regrettable to hear that it didn’t go as expected for you, due to the strange issues with the order.
    I imagine your frustration only grew from when you received the cancelation email to when you had difficulties acquiring assistance over the phone afterward. I sincerely apologize for any dismay this entire experience may have caused you. It does not sound at all like this experience would have left you with an appropriate representation of our company.
    Unfortunately, once an order is canceled, we are unable to reinstate it. The only option would be to replace the order. Typically if an order is canceled, we would not be able to honor the sale prices if they are no longer current. With that said, I was able to review your order and it would appear that the same card was successfully used on a subsequent order , leaving this to be quite the peculiar occurrence.
    I am sending you a private message to you with further details in regards to this order and to see what other options we may have for you, as I can understand why this experience may be so displeasing. You may check your private messages once you have signed into the forum by clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

  • Need to pass in line charges when cancel order line using API?

    Hi,
    Do we need to pass in line charges (charges, freight cost) when cancel order line using Oe_Order_Pub.Process_Order API?

    I found the answer to my own question:
    Yes it is a supported feature. It is documented on the following page:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/desktop/NativeApp lication.html#event:invoke
    When you subscribe to the invoke event of the NativeApplication it will subsequently dispatch the event and you read the e.arguments Array object to get the startup arguments passed into the native application.

  • Problem with purchase orders and cancelling order lines

    Hi,
    We have a problem with purchase orders and cancelling order lines. For example we have created PO no. 4300291277:
    We have made a GR 5000186897 on 03.09.2010 amount 1.920 and tried to cancel it with GR 5000208866, but it takes the invoice amount 1.724 instead of 1.920. What is the correct way to undo this orders, so we cancel the 1.920 and not the 1.724?
    Please help me, your help will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Najma.

  • Bex Query to calculate canceled order value

    Hi experts,
    I am using the 0SD_C03 infoCube to stock the SD data, I want to calculate the net value of canceled orders.
    In the 2LIS_11_VAHDR, there is a field "AUGRU", when it is filled, it means that the order is canceled.
    In the 2LIS_11_VAITM, I have the net value of different order items.
    The two above extractors load data to the InfoCube, the first one, 2LIS_11_VAHDR fill the 0ORD_REASON that is mapped to AUGRU. The second one, 2LIS_11_VAITM, fills the 0NET_VAL that is mapped to NETWR.
    The query in SQL looks like:
    Select 0NET_VAL from 0SD_C03 where VBELN in (Select VBELN from 0SD_C03 where 0ORD_REASON <> "")
    How can I do this with Bex query?
    Thank's a lot.
    Abdess,

    Hi Sunil,
    Like I explained above,
    The 0Ord_Reason is filled only by the extractor  2LIS_11_VAHDR which dosen't give any value for the orders value, the 2LIS_11_VAITM dosen't fill the 0Ord_Reason InfoCube but it fills the orders value InfoObject.
    So if I  restrict with 0ord_reason by excluding blank values, I will get 0 in the measure 0NET_VAL.

  • Raw Material Price Change When cancelled Order

    Dears Experts ,
    I have issue when cancel production order and if there any change in prices in raw material it will directly carry out the Cost (price) differences
    to Production Variance .
    and Report KOC4 [ Variance Category ] is not displayed the above variance .
    So i guess if i carry out the price variance for cancellation order to revalaution variance account i think this right solution .
    i updated OBYC -> PRD -> PRF   to revaluation variance but i face a other problem when orders settled it carry out for revaluation account not production variance account    .
    and      OBYC -> PRD -> PRA Purchase Price Variance Account .
    Could You please advise me what can i do to match the production variance account with KOC4 .
