I think one of my TRU's is one of the only ones in the country that cancelled my pick up order
Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

All four of my orders were shipped via Shoprunner.

Ok, So I made 3 orders and today, I received parts of 2 of them(2 wolverine choppers) This is strange, but it might just be tru. The other parts of my orders are "in stock" I hope they ship. Is this how TRU does things?
Re: [USA] Toys R Us: Save $10 on $50 Purchase 4/8 - 4/14
If they run out of stock on the remaining sets (or they miscalculated), they should ship separately. Think backordered. A lot of retailers will do this, ship you what they can, and the rest later.lukeskywalker wrote:Ok, So I made 3 orders and today, I received parts of 2 of them(2 wolverine choppers) This is strange, but it might just be tru.

And, they do have more than one fulfillment center in the US I am pretty sure as I have seen some stuff come from OH, MI and NV I believe...so if one place is out of something it will get scheduled to ship from elsewhere.

I was able to pick up one order yesterday without a problem. I spent over an hour with accursed OOS message on 3 local stores before I settled on 3 sets for $52 before tax and discount. After I put the purchase away in my car, I checked their LEGO isle and saw about 50 of each items that the web site falsely reported as OOS
Either they cancelled a lot of orders or their web site was lying.

I'm guessing they have sets reserved for shelves and online fulfillment.wilykat wrote:I was able to pick up one order yesterday without a problem.

I bet a lot of us did. I probably spent a solid hour and a half looking for eligible sets that are in-stock in a reasonable distance. Luckily I got one order fired off before they shut it down.wilykat wrote:I spent over an hour with accursed OOS message on 3 local stores before I settled on 3 sets for $52 before tax and discount.
I found the trick was to use the filter box named something like "eligible for in-store pickup" and then sort by price lowest to highest. Funny things seemed to happen with their theme filters in that some sets that should have shown up didn't. So I think it's best to just look through all "brand=LEGO" to find sets that match the general price range you're looking for.
I really wish there was a way to check a box for "just show me things available for in-store pickup that are actually available for store ABC". Probably asking too much.
Re: [USA] Toys R Us: Save $10 on $50 Purchase 4/8 - 4/14
Probably will. Mine was like that too, but I have now recieved a shipping confirmation e-mail and and my card has been charged for the shipped items (at the sweetly discounted price, mind you).flash0222 wrote:Hmm, my online order order is sitting at Item(s) located in stock, I sure hope it ships..
Edit: Actually, it just showed up on my doorstep! That has got to be some kind of shipping record!
Re: [USA] Toys R Us: Save $10 on $50 Purchase 4/8 - 4/14
I already received 12 advent calendars today. Still waiting on shipment confirmation for 4 more. Lots of battle packs and a few geonosian cannons and droid escapes on the way as well.
Awesome find, and huge thanks to the people who dug this up and figured out how the glitch worked.

Not asking too much at all, and would be greatly welcomed. If TRU made only a few key changes, they could improve their usability tenfold.Zeya wrote:I really wish there was a way to check a box for "just show me things available for in-store pickup that are actually available for store ABC".

Other examples:
* Let me save a search
* Let me search on multiple terms and return all things that match any of the terms "diagon medieval"
* And the grandaddy of them all: Let me filter to NOT show me things that are out of stock for shipping

Well, i stopped by a TRU Express recently. Inside, price mark-ups are even HIGHER than at TRU (roughly about 10%). And we thought we had it bad lol.

What's a TRU Express? Never heard of that.

"For the 2009 holiday-shopping season, Toys "R" Us tried a smaller-store concept to attract customers and 90 "Holiday Express" stores across the United States and Canada were opened. The Holiday Express stores are smaller than regular Toys "R" Us locations, often located in malls, and offer a more limited selection of merchandise than would be available at a stand-alone Toys "R" Us store. Most (if not all) of these 90 stores were opened in shopping-center and mall spaces that had been vacated by store chains closing their doors during the recession (including KB Toys, several of which were taken over by Toys "R" Us).Toys "R" Us' original plan was to keep the Holiday Express stores open until early January 2010 and close them shortly thereafter, but the success of many prompted the company to reconsider and several were kept open.These stores are known as "Toys "R" Us Express". Beginning in June 2010, Toys "R" Us opened a total of 600 Express locations nationwide. In addition to those 600 stores, four Express locations were converted to Toys "R" Us outlet stores."markerpk wrote:What's a TRU Express? Never heard of that.

They are basically small toy stores like KB toys. Usually in malls, same TRU prices at the regular stores but smaller selection.markerpk wrote:What's a TRU Express? Never heard of that.

All my items arrived ! Anyone get a shipment cancelled ?
Re: [USA] Toys R Us: Save $10 on $50 Purchase 4/8 - 4/14
I got all my items. Love the glitch and for some reason, didn't even feel sorry for them.
Re: [USA] Toys R Us: Save $10 on $50 Purchase 4/8 - 4/14
Today (4/14) I just got the new flyer w/ 2 $10 off $50 purchase. The first one dated 4/20-5/12, gives the code 951182 and the second one dated 5/13-5/19, gives the code 951190.
Re: [USA] Toys R Us: Save $10 on $50 Purchase 4/8 - 4/14
It would be awesome if it glitched a second time around, but i'd be very surprised if it did. I'm sure they are going to keep a very close eye on it going forward.
