My whole order was canceled, too. :( I agree, Shannon, the coupons were advertised to the general public, the sale was completely legit. If you don’t want someone to get $1 off a $1 item, don’t allow the coupon to go through on that item!! You do not cancel orders because you ran a promo and ran out of stock. You backorder and fulfill the orders as you get replens of your stock. Or you at least ask the customer if they would like to wait on backorder. All my items showed in stock when I ordered, as I was not willing to pay the $2.99 backorder shipping and made sure everything was in stock.
DianeL says
I just called their 1-800 number because when I go out there, every item I purchased in my order is out there and currently showing in stock. I wanted to know why one part of my order, the one item that did not have a discount was not fulfilled when they canceled the remainder of the order. The gal could not answer that question. She told me they had an overwhelming number of orders that night and they ran out of stock on many items and had to cancel orders. But, I told her, it is only 3 days later and everything seems to be back in stock. The only answer she had was that the order was canceled. Seems they may have canceled ALL the orders from that night. I’d be interested to see anyone that ordered that night gets a package.
Shannon says
@DianeL,
I actually got a package, not with everything, but with the carmex, gillette and floss.
DianeL says
Interesting… I got an email from Medco last night that they were canceling PART of my order. Turned out they had cancelled the one item in my cart that did not have any sale or coupon discount. So I came out here to make a post and saw all theses cancellations. So, I logged in and sure enough, they canceled the order in two parts but did not notify me that the entire order was canceled. That’s just bad business… I agree with Sarah Elyce… none of us did anything wrong… it was THEIR sale, THEIR coupons. If they cannot honor their sales and their coupons, then they should not put them out there on a public website. What they did was to alienate a bunch of potential customers. Shame on you Medco!!
Sarah Elyce says
It really irks me when companies do this. Either offer or don’t offer but don’t dangle something and then take it away when people respond to a promotion, which is bound to happen. It happens all the time, even local grocery stores. For example, Harris Teeter offers to take competitor coupons but when you try to do it according to their rules you have to argue and make a fuss. If they never offered in the first place, I wouldn’t be trying to do it, goodness! I swear that my dog could run companies better than some people, she seems to have more intuition and common sense.
Harry Martin says
To follow up — *everything* I ordered said it was in stock when I ordered it (I know, because I cancelled one toothpaste order ’cause it was out of stock).
I hope Medco knows how *bad* this publicity will be for them!
Harry Martin says
This is *total* BS. We play by the rules, and just checked mine and got this:
I checked status of mine and I have to say WTF!. This is how it reads:
Order Detail – #03208873793100
Order placed on: 6/23/2010 at 9:34:50 pm
We’re processing your order.
Shipment #1 – Canceled
This portion of your order has been canceled.
And it then goes to list *everything* I ordered! What the hell?!
Anonymous says
They are canceling all orders if 1 item is out of stock. They said that it’s only while supplies last.
Megan says
Ordered mine around 7pm and just checked and it was canceled too :(
Kahra says
All 3 of my orders were canceled. Boooo!!
Lana says
My order was confirmed last night, they charged my credit card, and then today they cancelled the whole order. Not cool, but not surprising. I hope they refund my money in a hurry!
rose says
my order was cancelled !
Emily Fraiser says
Just called Medco because I noticed that on one of my orders I had entered the ship to address incorrectly. When I called to correct it, he said the order had been cancelled. The gentleman who took my call was very courteous and friendly. He told me that because of the enormous response to the promotional items, the distribution center is cancelling orders. He told me that if Medco cancels the order, you will get an email, but not with the distribution center. I did get an shipping confirmation from Medco on my first order. So I would say that if you receive a shipping confirmation, you have a good chance of getting your items. But if you don’t, there’s a good chance the distribution center has cancelled your order and you will not be notified. Many people are saying their orders have been cancelled.
Chris says
They canceled most of my order (on the really good deals). I canceled the rest of my order because it wasn’t going to be worth it. You might want to check online on the status of your order.
Dani says
ITA. But I couldn’t just sit back and not say anything :)
Shannon says
@Dani,
I appreciate you speaking up. That is what I like about everyone here !
Carrie says
I spent $16 last night and saved $76! I got 41 items. It was worth the lost hour of sleep!
Dani says
My husband works for Medco and after the last coupon-craze, the employees received a company-wide email that these discounts were and are only intended for Medco clients (your company would need to choose Medco as their pharm provider). Last time, the $10 off codes were spread throughout the internet and were not intended to be mass distributed. As you can imagine, the company lost A LOT of money.
Shannon says
@Dani,
The online coupons looked exactly like what Rite Aid and drug store.com has. There was no code… it was add an item and it took off the amount. Not to sound rude, but if you open your program up to the general public – you need protocols to enforce your coupon codes. It still amazes me how companies don’t understand the internet – you put a discount out there people will use it….
Lauren says
i’m pretty sure they stopped the deals around 3 this morning
kara says
I never shopped Medco before…I don’t see any “instant coupons”…are the deals over, or do I need to look someplace special?
Harry Martin says
Looks like all the coupons are gone, at least on all the cheap or free stuff. (I just set up an account for my friend)
Gauri Rao says
I’m new to medco, can someone tell me how to get the instant coupons? I was able to add the gillette shaving gel and bandaids to my cart (everything else is sold out) but when I go to check out, it shows the price as $4.18 for both before shipping & taxes. How do I get the instant coupons to add to my cart? Please help!
Carole says
