I almost got it back.
I asked for a manager or supervisor.
I let them know big time how they screwed this up by releasing the tracking info, and because they have been doing it in the past, die hard TMO fans were sitting here waiting and waiting. I explained that if you still had the phones, you didn't have to release that tracking info to UPS and UPS in turn gave us an estimated delivery time.
I told them, they should have just kept that info, let the "processing info" stay there, and whey they physically ship the phones to UPS, then release the info. I told that that was the worst customer service blunder over nothing I have ever seen. The manager agreed.
After that, I told them I am requesting that you all refund my $69 and/or the new $20 upgrade fee.
Here is where I saw I was going to win this.. The supervisor told me the $69 goes toward the phone, but "let me see about the $20".. Then they saw on my account, that TMO has already credited $29.98 for listing USPS Priority instead of overnight, and that is when they said no. The reason was, YOU ALREADY got a discount.
So, my understanding would be if I didn't have the $29.98 credited to my account on this same fiasco, they would have given me my $20 back..
BTW, TMO still has the phones, they said they will be shipping them out tomorrow. Again, I told them that was screwed up big time.. So, it seems this time it will BE THE 18TH... GRRRRRRRR.
