At least we get the calendar to drool over what we missed out!

[Pearl_dreams]

If we got a confirmation email, does that mean we got the item? The one item I bought and got a confrmation email on is now sold out and I'm wondering how (when) I can know that I actually GOT it.

Anybody?

[boo]

Ugh - I had all sorts of trouble with my stupid hotel connection. I hope to have gotten the 7-8 rounds also.

[Raisondetre]

You have to wait. If you don't get an email within the next couple hours I'd say it's safe to think it's yours.

[Pearl_dreams]

Wow, a couple of hours...

am thinking about buying a smaller backup strand...

Thanks for the reply!

[youngster]

Not a bad idea to buy a back-up strand. You can find a use for it I'm sure!

[salem]

I think if you get the actual confirmation email, it's yours. Just don't go only by the confirmation number they give you after check out. You need the email. That was my impression anyway.

I also ordered the 7-8mm rounds..the $225 ones(if there were others). I wanted to get the 8-9mm, but I figured, with the baby coming, I should be more responsible.(This from a woman who is awake at 3:30am) Too bad I won't get them by Valentine's day..well, maybe I will. Depends on Japanese customs.

Yippee...exotics. Maybe I won't miss my husband so much on his trip to Kuwait. He leaves on the 13th...grrr. Hey..does Kuwait sell pearls? lol Good luck everyone.

Looks like the rounds are pretty much sold out now. Oh, I hope I get the ones I ordered.

[Acksim]

That was nuts. Quite an experience for my first time. Yikes. I mean, the adrenaline was flowing for sure. Something about competitive shopping, lol, kind of like eBay!! I am hooked. Everything was so gorgeous!! I ordered some smaller strands, can't wait until I am sure they are actually mine! I did get email confirms...is that a good sign?

If anyone is really worried, you can click on the onlne chat button on PP website. I chatted with Natalie a bit and she added a note to my order number.

On the untreated akoyas, I got a confirmation email then got another email about 30 minutes later saying it had been double sold.

[Pearl_dreams]

Thanks for the online chat info. I just chatted with Jeremy and he doesn't know yet... I bought the 8-9mm rounds -- hoping to have them for my birthday this week-- but he says they have been oversold by a few strands and they don't know for sure yet who succeeded in buying them and who lost out.

But I also bought the 8.5-9.5 mm ovals so at least I should have one thing....

[pandaexpress]

I got the 8.5 - 8.5 ovals too! Woo hoo!

[salem]

Hey, you beat me to it. I just talked to Natalie again, and she told me the same thing...the 8-9mm oversold. So anyone who is worried, just go to the chat box. But she did confirm that if you get the email, it is pretty much yours, BUT there is a SLIM chance of double ordering because of the timing. But this time it seems to only be an issue with the 8-9mms so far. So good luck to everyone who ordered!! And soon we will all, hopefully, have our pearls. WEEEEE!!!

So, who bought the one featured in Gems and Gemology? Hmm? 'Fess up now. We want to congratulate you!
