Deal is gone

Green for you OP. I placed an order hoping to get one from backorder, but it appears Crutchfield is cancelling those orders as well. Just received the following email:

Dear Valued Customer,

Thanks again for placing your order, number xxxxxxxx, with Crutchfield.

Unfortunately, due to extraordinarily high demand, we will not be able to fulfill your order for the Garmin nuvi 255W at this time. With our sincerest apologies, we will need to cancel your current order. If you would like to order an alternate item with us, you are welcome to place a new order at www.Crutchfield.com or to call us at 1-800-955-3000 to discuss another option.

Thank you for your understanding and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.

Regards,

The Crutchfield Customer Care Team

BAh....mine was canceled also! Bah I say!

Guys watch your inboxes! I *just* got this and was able to reinstate my order at the original price (including the coupon)! I had to call in though. YMMV with it:

Dear Jeremy,

Last week we sent you an email explaining that we would be unable to fulfill your order for the Garmin nuvi 255W.

Over the past few days we were able to obtain a limited supply of the 255W, and we would like to extend the opportunity to purchase a unit at the price you were originally quoted. The units have been set aside for affected customers, and are not available on the website at this time. If you would like to place an order, please call us at 1-800-955-3000, we expect to begin shipping these units in about 3 - 4 weeks.

Thank you again for your understanding. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Regards,

The Crutchfield Customer Care Team
